Today, the palace will hold a banquet in the Lizheng Hall to entertain you. It is to say hello to Concubine Yang's mother, Xiao Meiniang. Soon she will marry the Emperor and become a concubine. Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile to the royal concubines and nobles.

The fact that Xiao Meiniang wants to marry Emperor Li Yuan has long been no secret in Taiji Palace. So after everyone heard it, there was naturally nothing to be shocked about.

However, everyone's faces showed joy, after all, not everyone was like the eldest grandson queen, who was unwilling to participate in the battle in the harem.

For others, an eldest grandson queen is enough to give them a headache. If this Xiao Meiniang is following Li Shimin, then Concubine Yang's power will also be greatly improved.

Now marrying Xiao Meiniang to the powerless and only vain Emperor Li Yuan is nothing more than a good thing for everyone here.

So everyone got up to congratulate Xiao Meiniang, and claimed that they would definitely carry a generous gift when the time came. Xiao Meiniang could only keep saying thank you.

And at this time, Li Chengqian took Li Tai and Li Liqing, as well as the princes and princesses born to Empress Changsun, and walked into the Lizheng Hall together.

After Li Chengqian paid a flat salute to Li Shimin's imperial concubines and nobles, he said to the eldest grandson: "Queen Mother, now that the queen mother is about to give birth, Erchen specially invited the divine doctor Jiang Qi to check on the queen mother. ”

"The prince is really filial, but the palace is not the same now, so this examination is exempted. But since he is a miracle doctor, he can't let him run for nothing. ”

"Now that your father's concubines are here, you can let the divine doctor you bring to show them. lest there be any hidden disease that will only increase the suffering. Empress Eldest Sun opened her mouth and said to Li Chengqian.

Because it was a formal occasion at this time, Empress Changsun naturally called Li Chengqian by a formal title.

Li Chengqian nodded after hearing this, and then said to Empress Eldest Sun: "Then ask the queen mother to temporarily find a room for Jiang Qi, so that she can diagnose the pulse of the concubines." ”

Empress Eldest Sun nodded, and then was supported by Bi'er. took Li Chengqian and Jiang Qi into a room that was not too big or small. And let the princesses and nobles enter the room one by one to diagnose the pulse.

However, Li Tai and Princess Changle and others stayed outside to help Empress Changsun entertain the royal concubines and nobles.

Although there are some people who don't like this, Li Chengqian and Empress Changsun have spoken, and they don't dare to disobey.

The first person to enter the room to diagnose the pulse was none other than Li Ke's mother, Concubine Yang. When she sat down, Jiang Qi put a silk handkerchief over her wrist.

At this time, Bi'er said to Jiang Qi: "I heard that if you look at the belly of a pregnant woman, you can know whether a pregnant woman is pregnant with a man or a woman. I wonder if this miracle doctor can tell if the queen is pregnant with a prince or a princess? ”

Jiang Qi looked at the eldest grandson and queen, and said with a smile: "The queen is pregnant with a princess, because I am afraid that the queen will never be able to give birth to a prince again." ”

"Bold, dare to say that about the queen mother. Aren't you afraid that the queen will punish your nine clans? Bi'er said sharply to Jiang Qi.

"Jiang Qi, I'm afraid you're not without a purpose. Could it be that you see something? Li Chengqian asked Jiang Qi with a solemn face.

Before Jiang Qi could speak, Empress Eldest Sun said, "Let's check the pulse of your sisters first, and then it's not too late for her to show the palace later." ”

After Li Chengqian nodded, he asked Jiang Qi to check Concubine Yang's pulse.

After diagnosing the pulse, Jiang Qi opened his mouth and said to Concubine Yang: "Concubine Yang's body is fine, but she usually has some mental restlessness. Just let the hospital prescribe some soothing medicine. ”

After Concubine Yang left, Li Chengqian looked at Empress Eldest Sun and shook his head. This means that Concubine Yang should not be the one who poisoned her.

As for how Li Chengqian judged, Empress Eldest Sun really didn't know.

Of course, Empress Changsun would not know that Li Chengqian used the eye of merit. This is also the reason why Li Chengqian asked Bi'er and Empress Changsun, together with Jiang Qi, to cooperate with him in this scene.

Because of Jiang Qi's sentence that you can only give birth to a princess, you can't give birth to a prince. If she was heard by the poisoner, even if there was no change in her complexion, she would have a turbulent wave in her heart.

And Li Chengqian's purpose is to use this time to use the eye of merit to spy on the other party's inner activities. This is used to determine whether the other party is the person who poisoned it.

Then several more imperial concubines walked in, and Li Chengqian tried the same way. The result was the same, and there was nothing suspicious about it.

And now the imperial concubine who was in the palace five years ago is the last concubine left. In other words, except for this Yin Concubine Niangniang, I am afraid that no one will have the opportunity to poison the eldest grandson queen again.

This couldn't help but make Li Chengqian think in his heart, could it be that this concubine had poisoned her mother. However, it is said that this concubine is very low-key, and she ignores Li Shimin.

At this time, Li Chengqian was no longer allowed to think about it, because Concubine Yin had already walked in. But before Bi'er could say her lines, Jiang Qi asked, "Does Concubine Yin Niangniang feel any discomfort in her body?" ”

This couldn't help but surprise Li Chengqian, Jiang Qi would never ask such a question for no reason. Could it be that there is something different about this Yin Concubine?

And the situation that Concubine Yin said next was the same as that of the eldest grandson queen that day. This couldn't help but make Li Chengqian think of a possibility, that is, this concubine Yin was also poisoned by the death of both mother and son.

However, Li Chengqian glanced at Jiang Qi and did not let Jiang Qi point this out. Instead, he continued to diagnose the pulse of Concubine Yin. In the end, it was also vaguely dismissed.

After Concubine Yin left, Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Chengqian: "Could it be that this sister of Concubine Yin also has a mother and son on her body?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded, and then asked Jiang Qi, "Is the guess of the palace and the queen mother correct?" ”

"The queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince are right, and the concubine Yin Niangniang has also been poisoned by the death of both mother and son. And the time is about the same as the queen's mother, all five years ago. ”

This couldn't help but surprise Empress Changsun, and then said to Li Chengqian: "Now it's not just the queen mother who has been poisoned, which proves that the person who poisoned her is in the palace." ”

"But you think that these imperial concubines just now are not poisoners, but except for them, everyone else has entered the palace in recent years. There is no chance of poisoning at all. ”

"The Queen Mother has never asked you what you rely on to determine whether they were poisoned or not. Isn't it just your feelings? ”

"The queen mother, the son is based on the observation of words and feelings, if the poisoned person hears Jiang Qi say that the queen mother cannot give birth to a prince, I am afraid her expression will not change in the slightest."

However, this can only be used as a preliminary inference, and the son will do a more detailed investigation in the future. The son believed that the poisoner must be among them. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Empress Eldest Sun.
