Palace Danger (5)
Orange Qi ran to the Qingliang Hall in a panic, and directly pushed open the palace door and entered. At this time, he didn't care how the prince reacted, interrupting the prince and Miss Ji alone, he would tear down a few bones at most, but if he concealed this matter and didn't report it, I was afraid that his life would be gone.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he heard Gu Jinsi's voice, "Orange Seven, this king has itchy hands recently, so you sent it to the door by yourself, it's really sweet."
Orange Qixin walked directly to them before kneeling down and saying, "The prince forgives the sin, and his subordinates have important things to report."
When Orange Qi pushed the door in, Ji Yueduan got up from Gu Jinsi. That's why at this time, Gu Jinsi picked up the fan on the ground with his hand, opened it with a snap, and looked at Orange Qi and said, "This king is looking forward to whether this thing can save your bones?" ”。
Orange Qi looked at him, bowed his head and replied, "Something happened to the seventh princess."
Gu Jinsi got up from the chair with a slick, and his voice raised a few degrees, "What's wrong with Xiao Qi?" ”。
"The emperor invited the national teacher to see it, and said that it was poisoned, and the time of poisoning was about Shenshi." Orange Seven didn't look up after speaking.
Gu Jinsi had already walked outside the hall before he could finish speaking, and the words behind him were said by Orange Qi raising his voice behind him.
Along the way, Gu Jinsi was thinking about what happened before Shen Shi.
At the end of the day, the crown prince brought a divine doctor into the palace to treat the imperial concubine. Before three o'clock, the emperor invited the ministers to a banquet. That Shen Shi, wasn't it the time when he went out of the banquet to Lanxi Palace? But wasn't Xiao Qi taking a nap at that time, and Xiao Shu'er was by her side, how could anyone dare to poison her.
What he didn't know was that Ji Yuedu, who was following him, was also thinking so, so he came to Lanxi Palace in silence all the way. When the guards outside the palace saw that it was Gu Jinsi, they immediately let him go without saying a word.
Gu Jinsi strode into Ji Yihe's dormitory, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the emperor was leading many people in the palace. Seeing him walk over, they all gave way one after another.
Gu Jinsi looked at Xiao Qi lying on the bed with a pale face, and didn't care about saluting the emperor, and shouted directly to the imperial doctors, "Is there any way to save Xiao Qi of this king, what's the use of you just kneeling on the ground."
Everyone knows that King Qi Nan's methods of rectifying people have always been strange and skillful, but he has always spoken sarcastically and softly, and he has never yelled at people so directly. The doctors were obviously frightened, and no one spoke.
"Speak," Gu Jinsi said, pointing to a physician kneeling at the front.
"Back to ...... Back to the prince, the national teacher has already diagnosed that it is poisoning." The Imperial Doctor said tremblingly.
"National teacher, you can find out what poison it is and how to treat it." Gu Jinsi was distressed and held Xiao Qi's hand, and did not look at the national teacher.
"Back to the prince, it's licorice. Fortunately, the dose is small, and the old man has already prescribed medicine, and after taking it, he will be fine."
"Licorice is medicine, how can it become poison". Gu Jinsi smiled contemptuously.
"The prince doesn't know that the seventh princess is allergic to licorice?". The national teacher is still faint.
"I have long forbidden the use of licorice at will, and it is absolutely forbidden in other places in the palace except for the Tai Hospital." This time it was the emperor who answered.
"The old man and the imperial doctors have already checked that there is licorice in the sour plum soup that the seventh princess drank."
"Check, see who is so bold and dares to disobey my orders." The emperor's anger made the people below sincerely frightened, and immediately retreated to investigate.
In order not to affect Ji Yihe's rest, everyone was waiting in the side hall. About a quarter of an hour later, Delu came in with someone and replied to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the servants have already found all the people who have come into contact with the sour plum soup."
The emperor looked at the trembling and kneeling people below, and said sharply, "You are so bold that you dare to harm the Seventh Princess."
Who doesn't know that the two people in the palace can't be offended, one is the imperial concubine, and the other is the seven princesses. If you bear this charge, you will surely die. Everyone hurriedly told him to forgive, "The emperor spares his life, the minions don't dare even if they have ten thousand guts, the minions ......."
"Enough, say them one by one", Gu Jinsi opened his mouth to interrupt their pleading.
An elderly grandmother said first, "The sour plum soup was made by the slave maid, and the licorice was not spared, and the cloth that helped the slave maid in the imperial dining room can testify."
Another little eunuch then said, "The slave is responsible for delivering the ingredients from the Internal Affairs Office, and it is definitely not mixed with licorice. If the small table is sent with the minion, it can be a witness for the minion."
The youngest palace maid also said, "The slave maid is responsible for delivering sour plum soup to the princess every day, but the last few times Xi'er has gone to fetch it herself."
The emperor looked at Delu's expression and knew that these people's statements had been checked, and there was no problem. So he said to Delu, "Chuan Xi'er."
After a while, Xi'er came out of the seventh princess's dormitory and knelt in the center of the side hall.
"Xi'er, the princess's sour plum soup is your take."
"It was taken by a slave or a maidservant." Although Xi'er is young, she has been in charge of the first house for more than a year, and she has not panicked at all.
"Whose hands did you pass by on the way, but you personally served the princess to drink?"
"Back to the emperor, after Xi'er got it back from the imperial dining room, because the head of the Internal Affairs Office asked Xi'er to receive the emperor's reward for the princess, there was a Laoji girl to feed the princess."
After Xi'er finished speaking, Delu muttered a few more words in the emperor's ear, and the emperor's face immediately changed, "Ji Yuedu, you are so bold, dare to harm Yihe."
Before Ji Yueduan could speak, Gu Jinsi opened her mouth first, "Brother Huang, don't wronged people at will, she will never harm Xiao Qi."
"Impossible? Except for the Tai Hospital, only last time she said that licorice has the function of blending all kinds of medicines, and it is needed to make ice wine, so I ordered the Tai Hospital to give her some. If it's not her, there can be no one else."
Gu Jinsi wanted to say anything more, but was stopped by Ji Yuedu. I saw her walk to the center of the hall and kneel, and said to the emperor, "Yuedui hopes to ask Xi'er a few questions, please ask the emperor permission?" ”。
Seeing that Gu Jinsi's face was extremely ugly, the emperor waved his hand impatiently.
Ji Yue got up and walked up to Xi'er, looked at her and said, "Xi'er, let me ask you a few questions, can you answer me truthfully?" ”。
"Miss Ji just asks, and Xi'er will answer truthfully."
"First question, Xi'er, you brought me a teacup that day, so when you took it from the imperial dining room, it was also a teacup?"
"No, I was in a hurry, I was afraid that the teacup would spill, so I used a teapot."
"Okay, then the second question, did you personally pour it out of the teapot and bring it to me?".
"No, I was thirsty at that time, so I went back to the palace and drank water first, so I asked the clip who was next to me to get a teacup and pour out the sour plum soup." Xi'er seemed to suddenly realize something, and finally her tone changed.
Ji Yuedui returned to the center of the hall and knelt down again, and said to the emperor, "Back to the emperor, Yuedui has finished asking."
When asked this, everyone was clear, and the emperor immediately sent someone to check the tea set, the palace maid. Sure enough, it was a problem with the tea set. It's just that the palace maid only said that she was jealous of Xi'er and wanted to frame her, and she didn't want to harm the princess, so the amount was not much. also said that he stole Miss Ji's licorice.
The emperor was furious and directly gave him death. Who knew that Gu Jinsi suddenly interrupted, "Xiao Qi who dares to touch this king, how can he die so easily." Orange Seven, find some bloodthirsty bug poison and throw her in. Then call everyone in the palace to the imperial garden to watch. Let them all take a good look at the consequences of touching Xiao Qi".
Gu Jinsi's words made the people present shiver, and even made the palace maid faint in fright.
"Wake up, let her wake up the whole time", leaving this sentence, Gu Jinsi made a perfunctory salute to the emperor, and pulled Ji Yueduan directly to Ji Yihe's bedroom.
