Chapter 159: Hidden Shirts
Less than an hour after drinking the last dose of medicine, Lin Yaxin felt that something was not quite right in her body, as if she had heard Mama Lu talk about the symptoms of childbirth. Li Yiqian hurriedly called Wang Gu in, and sure enough, Lin Yaxin's delivery date was advanced.
Hot water and clean quilts and other things have already been prepared, and the Queen Mother forcibly called Li Yiqian out of the dormitory, saying that she would not let him be inside. And Lin Yaxin and Li Yiqian did not object, because they all knew that he would only make the palace people dare not act in the delivery room, and maybe something would really go wrong when the time came. Anyway, these people were carefully selected by Li Yiqian and asked Mama Lu from among the subordinates of Long Yu, and there would never be an accident, so they didn't worry about someone doing anything.
"The emperor is the Ninety-Five, the delivery room is not good, let's sit here and wait with the mourning family." After bringing Li Yiqian out, the Queen Mother said earnestly. In her opinion, it is not good for a man to enter the delivery room, not to mention that Qian'er is still the emperor, how can he risk affecting his luck because of these things?
Li Yiqian only sat there with a calm face. Lin Yaxin gave birth in this situation, although he couldn't bear the pain for her, he could still accompany her and let her know that he was always there. It's just that the Queen Mother threatened him, and moved out of the imperial history, for the sake of Lin Yaxin's safety and reputation, he can only obey the Queen Mother, but he won't sit here, he is waiting for those people to set up the scene.
The Queen Mother looked at her son and sighed helplessly. This child was originally not sincere in the affairs of men and women, but she just spoiled Yang'er's girl according to her wishes, but now she is ...... If she hadn't said that she would let people spread the news about today's delivery room, how could she have dragged him out? It's just that I'm afraid that Xin Zhaoyi will get into trouble. A woman who can influence the king of a country, how can those subordinates let her live? Especially if it's a civil official.
"Your Majesty, it's better for the concubine to go over and take a look, in the end, the concubine has had the experience of giving birth, and she can also appease Sister Xin." Wang Jinyun felt very unhappy since he entered Yuquan Palace, and later saw that the Queen Mother called Li Yiqian out, and he was even more unhappy, and he couldn't care about them at this time, he just wanted to go in and accompany Lin Yaxin, and by the way, see how her situation was, so that he could feel at ease.
"Exactly." Li Yiqian looked at her deeply and granted her request.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to my sister? The concubine was discussing with Concubine Yun about the eldest princess's marriage, and suddenly heard the palace people report that something had happened to Sister Xin, but she didn't know what happened? Although Wang Jinyun left, she had simply told Wu Yuyan just now while the Queen Mother was going out, and asked her to help Li Yiqian ask about it, and Wu Yuyan naturally knew what she meant.
The Queen Mother looked at Wu Yuyan and frowned, but she didn't say anything.
The concubine also felt that the emperor should first investigate why Xin Zhaoyi had such a thing. Now that she is suffering inside, the emperor must not let the villain escape. Sun Qi, who has never spoken much, helped to say a word at this time. Because she herself was victimized and lost her child's right to be a mother, she hated this kind of thing to do to pregnant women.
Li Yiqian's sword-like gaze looked at Lin Liuyin.
Receiving this gaze, Lin Liuyin, who had been prepared in Rao's heart, couldn't help but feel nervous. Did he know something? It can't be, he's suspicious at best, and there will be absolutely no evidence. Thinking of this, Lin Liuyin smiled and looked at him.
"The concubine heard that Sister Xin went out with Lin Jieyu, I don't know if it's ......" Yu Rui has been hating Lin Liuyin since the last incident, and when she saw her unlucky, she was naturally very happy in her heart, and she couldn't wait to fall into the well. She has been staring at Lin Liuyin since the Ding Xi incident, and today finally came in handy.
Everyone came in a hurry, and after that, they stayed in the main hall of Yuquan Palace, and naturally they didn't know much. At this time, when they heard that this matter was related to Lin Liuyin, they all looked at it with different colors. Looking at her indifferent face, the doubt in her heart did not decrease. In the palace, who is not a master of drama?
"Is what Yu Meiren said true?" Wu Yuyan saw that Yu Rui had already mentioned this person, so she naturally wouldn't let it go, and asked Lin Liuyin directly.
The concubine did invite Xin Zhaoyi to enjoy the scenery, but the palace people spilled tea on her body halfway, and she went back early to change her clothes. I really don't know about Sister Xin. Lin Liuyin said expressionlessly.
"Based on this matter alone, it really can't be determined that Lin Jieyu has anything to do with this matter." Wu Yuyan said, but in the end, I am afraid that this matter will not be resolved in the end.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is here." Just when she didn't know what to do, Mu Xiu came in to say goodbye.
"Please." Without waiting for everyone to think about who this person was, Li Yiqian let people in.
"Cao Min Zhang Xun has seen the emperor, the queen mother, and all the mothers." The person who came was the former imperial physician Ling Zhang Xun. Since February, Li Yiqian ordered the people of Longyu to look for Zhang Xun and invite him back to Huajing, because he was afraid that Lin Yaxin would have any accidents when he gave birth. And now it's working.
"I don't know what happened to Master Zhang entering the palace?" The Queen Mother had a good attitude towards him, because he had helped them many times, and she was not such an ungrateful person. It's just that when Zhang Xun left the palace, he said that he was going to compile medical books, and he usually wouldn't enter the palace. I came in this time, but I was afraid that it was for ...... glanced at Li Yiqian, who was sitting beside her, and the Queen Mother understood.
"Don't dare to be the queen mother, the emperor must have called the grass people into the palace because of some incurable disease, and the grass people will only do this now." Zhang Xun shook his head and said, obviously feeling that he was really unable to do many things.
"The old man is too modest. I have invited you into the palace today to help you identify something. Li Yiqian interrupted the Queen Mother's thoughts of wanting to reminisce about the past, and bluntly stated his purpose.
As he spoke, he took out the black flower that Lin Yaxin and the three of them had seen before, but the person wrapped it in a cloth and did not make direct contact. Wang Gu told him before that this matter was probably still necessary to bother his master to enter the palace, because Xin Zhaoyi was born prematurely, and he would have to take care of the follow-up things at that time, and it would not be necessary to save the adults and children well, and one person might not be too busy.
On the way to Zhang Xun, I also heard about today's events, and I already had some guesses about this flower in my heart, but it just needs to be verified. I saw him put the flower in a tray, then took out some unknown medicine powder from the medicine box he carried with him, sprinkled it on it, and after a while put it under his nose and sniffed it, revealing an expression that was indeed so, only then a look of disgust.
Everyone thought that this was the end, but they saw that he took out a small bamboo tube from the medicine box, and after opening the lid, something quickly came out, and crawled over to the flower placed at the other end. A black mark was left along the way, at first only a faint grayish color, and then the closer you got to the flower, the darker it became. At this time, Zhang Xun quickly clipped the thing back to the bamboo tube. The face is already clear.
"Mr. Zhang, what's wrong with this flower?" Li Yiqian saw his expression and knew that he should already know something, so he asked.
"We still have to wait for the minister to do another experiment." Zhang Xun didn't answer him immediately, but took out another bamboo tube, took two cups from the table in the hall, and poured the contents of the bamboo tube into them separately, only to see that it was a colorless liquid, and he didn't know what it was. Then he put the contents of the bamboo tube and a centipede that came from nowhere into two cups. Soon, the liquid in the cup turned black at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Zhang Xun sighed helplessly. He carefully put away all the things he had just put away, ordered someone to bring a bowl of water, poured some powder into it, and put the flower in after a while. I saw that the water in the bowl slowly turned red, and the color of the flower was slowly fading.
Everyone just looked at Zhang Xun suspiciously, not knowing what he meant. What's the use of these weird things?
Zhang Xun just looked at Li Yiqian and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the grass people can be sure that Xin Zhaoyi's incident is not an accident, but man-made. ”
"Go on."
Everyone thought that Li Yiqian would be angry, but they didn't expect his reaction to be so cold.
"This flower was tampered with, which led so many centipedes over." Zhang Xun looked at those people staring at him, and he didn't feel nervous, but just said, "Fang Caichen added an extract to the water to let the things outside this flower dissolve into the water. To be sure, there was nothing unusual about the flower itself, it was just soaked in blood, which attracted so many centipedes. ”
"It's ridiculous, although the concubine has heard that centipedes like blood, but what can the dried blood taste like? What's more, how much blood can a tiny flower carry? Imperial Doctor Zhang is probably guessing wildly. Lin Liuyin saw that the old man was going to harm his own business, and pointed out the doubts in his words. In fact, her idea was right, but Zhang Xun's words were not finished.
"Don't worry, the grass people will explain it to everyone. If it's just like this, it really won't attract these, but the key is that there is also a hidden shirt in this blood. This leads to the smell of blood being infinitely thickened, of course, only for centipedes that like it, because there is another use, that is, to stimulate the poison control part of the centipede's body, so that its toxicity can be quickly increased in a short period of time, but the centipede will die quickly afterwards. ”
"Niangniang looked at the color of the water in this bowl again, it was extremely red, and it can be seen that the absorbed blood is not a small amount." Zhang Xun pointed to the bowl on the side and said.
"Then why didn't the palace people who took care of the plum garden find anything unusual? According to you, the smell of blood has been amplified, and it must be smellable. You have to think about it before you answer. Lin Liuyin said sadly.
