Chapter 214 Hunting Conference 2
"Princess Ruocheng is dead!"
"What can't die! Don't hurry up and announce that the Imperial Doctor is coming! ”
The hunting competition was in full swing over there, and the banquet here was already a mess.
Baili Ruocheng fell to the ground, the corners of her mouth covered with blood, some of which even stained her skirt. All the ladies panicked, and Liu Qingyan, who was closest to her, frowned tightly.
Because what Baili Ruocheng died after drinking it just now was the wine she was going to drink!
Concubine Duan, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, stumbled over, looked at Baili Ruocheng in disbelief, and threw herself on her and cried bitterly.
Concubine Duan is the biological mother of Baili Ruocheng, although she is a little old, she is still graceful and tasteful. But now it's not so pretty.
And the queen who was the most seated was also alarmed, and immediately reprimanded, "It's all royalty, so scattered, what kind of system!" It's just that there is a dead person, and Emperor Taizu opened the country in the past, and there are many more people who died than now! ”
Liu Qingyan glanced at the queen who was seated and knew it in her heart.
This Ruocheng princess is not her own, but she is more favored by the emperor than her daughter. It is estimated that if this prince Cheng wants to marry the prince of that state, it will be the result of the queen blowing the wind on the emperor's pillow. And seeing Baili Ruocheng die, of course she won't be so sad, and even sneered.
She and Concubine Duan were at odds, and the two of them fought openly and secretly for the emperor's favor, and the queen said that sentence as if she was saying it to the so-called "royal family", but in fact she was just laughing at Concubine Duan. Liu Qingyan doesn't understand these struggles in the harem very well.
"My Ruocheng, Ruocheng ......" Concubine Duan cried to herself, her delicate eyebrows and eyes full of tears.
"It looks like she died of poisoning," Nangong Hui over there suddenly stood up, "Was Princess Ruocheng sitting and talking with Princess Qi just now?" Why was Princess Ruocheng the only one present? ”
Liu Qingyan looked at Nangong Hui and frowned - she gave the poison?
Nangong Hui ignored her expression, sneered, and said, "Princess Qi is really a broom star, in the past, Princess Yunrou went to worship Guanyin with you, and she was defiled by that villain, and now you are sitting with Princess Ruocheng, she is poisoned." Is it true that if anyone gets close to you, something will happen? ”
What she said had a very significant effect on the female dependents, and all the people who were close to Liu Qingyan dodged back, as if they were really afraid that Liu Qingyan would really bring them some disaster.
"Is it really you?" Concubine Duan looked at Liu Qingyan and asked her hatefully.
"Back to Concubine Duan's words, in addition to Princess Ruocheng sitting next to me just now, there are many other people, why did something happen to Princess Ruocheng? This really has nothing to do with me," Liu Qingyan said calmly, "Won't the Imperial Doctor come later?" Let's see what the Imperial Doctor has to say. ”
"If my Rucheng really died because of you, I will not be able to spare you!" Concubine Duan glared at her viciously.
Liu Qingyan didn't speak, just lowered her eyes.
If Lu Siguan was still the original King of Qi, maybe this Duan Concubine would not speak to her like this. But now Lu Siguankong has the title of "King of Qi", and all the powers have been accepted by the emperor, and she is just a Jingfu Yin who can't even solve the case. In this way, let alone Concubine Duan, even a few other concubines may be able to step on the top of her head.
In addition, Nangong Hui, the daughter of the hussar general, will definitely take the lead in excluding her, it seems that Liu Qingyan is really isolated now.
"The imperial doctor hasn't come to see yet, Concubine Duanniang really doesn't have the royal bearing when she speaks like this." The queen said coldly on the upper seat.
Liu Qingyan's eyelashes fluttered.
I almost forgot that there was also a queen who didn't like Concubine Duan very much, since Concubine Duan was hostile to Liu Qingyan, then the queen, as the one who was hostile to Concubine Duan, could also be equated with standing on Liu Qingyan's side.
In this way, Liu Qingyan's current situation is not too difficult.
Concubine Duan gritted her teeth and looked at the queen, and was about to say something to refute, when the imperial doctor hurriedly came, she immediately gave up what she wanted to say and turned to the imperial doctor: "Quick, let's see what happened to Princess Ruocheng!" ”
"Yes." The imperial doctor hurriedly knelt in front of Baili Ruocheng, took out a handkerchief, and put it on her wrist to check her pulse.
The imperial doctor's expression changed, and finally, he shook his head very lightly at Concubine Duan: "Niangniang, princess, she...... It's gone. In this way, it should be poisoned to death, and it is very toxic. ”
Concubine Duan was stunned, and then roared angrily: "Quack! No way! It is impossible for Ruocheng to die! She's only seventeen! How could it be just dead! ”
The imperial doctor knelt in front of her: "Concubine Duan, please calm your anger, princess, she is really gone." ”
Concubine Duan raised her hand and slapped the imperial doctor, and there were exclamations on all sides. The queen reprimanded: "Imperial Doctor Fang has served the princess, the prince and even the emperor for many years, Concubine Duan, what are you like!" ”
"It's not your daughter who died, you can say anything!" Concubine Duan looked at the queen, "If you want me to say, this poison is from you!" ”
"Hongu, you say? Duanfei, what evidence do you have? There is no evidence, and you also know that the emperor's least favorite thing is to make up nonsense. "Queen's Road.
Concubine Duan glared angrily and said, "Don't use the emperor to press me!" Don't think I don't know, it's your idea to marry Ruocheng to the prince of Fanbang! If it weren't for you, Ruocheng would marry the man she liked! ”
The queen sneered: "Where did you hear about this?" It is the emperor's idea to marry Princess Ruocheng to Fanbang, what does it have to do with this palace? And Princess Ruocheng's harmony is for the stability of our country, this is the glory of Princess Ruocheng! If she didn't want to, she could have refused, but Princess Ruocheng didn't refuse. ”
After a pause, the queen continued: "According to the palace, Concubine Duan, you are really becoming more and more arrogant during this time. Why, do you still want to sit on the head of the main palace? ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience shook!
And Du Guifei, who was sitting next to the queen, finally put down the cup, sighed, and said: "I said, Sister Duanfei, don't always think that the queen wants to harm you, the queen has always been thinking about the peace of the harem, and she has always been thinking about our country." ”
Liu Qingyan sneered in her heart. It seems that this poisoning gave Du Guifei a good opportunity to unite with the queen.
And Concubine Duan was deflated, and she couldn't refute it all of a sudden, so she could only hold her daughter's corpse, not knowing what to do.
But speaking of which, this concubine is really pitiful, fortunately there was a son and a daughter, so she was named a concubine, but it was a coincidence that the well-behaved and intelligent son also died in his teens, and so did this daughter.
Is it because her fate is not good, or is it because of the heart of others? No one can tell.
And Liu Qingyan speculated that it is estimated that these things are inextricably linked with those such as the queen and Du Guifei.
"Okay, since Princess Ruocheng has died, it is time to move her body down," the queen said, "It has been placed here, and when the emperor comes back, how ugly is it?" ”
"Yes, you all move, don't stand like a log!" Du Guifei pointed around with an orchid.
The queen glanced at her indifferently, very disdainful of her style. But God knows why the emperor likes such a pretentious woman, and even gave her a concubine.
Feeling the queen's gaze, Du Guifei's face was also a little unbearable, and she immediately smiled and put down her hand.
And just when everyone thought that this matter was over, Nangong Hui over there sneered and opened her mouth, and said: "Ah, I don't know if you sisters and ladies have found out, no matter who has a pot of wine on the table, but Princess Qi doesn't?" ”
Everyone was attracted by what she said, and they all looked at Liu Qingyan's table.
And Liu Qingyan's face suddenly changed - Baili Ruocheng did take her wine jug to drink just now, and the poison was also put in her wine! Now that she is guided by Nangong Hui like this, it seems that the person who poisoned her is because of her!
"Nangong Hui, what are you trying to explain?" The queen asked coldly.
"Back to the queen's mother, if Princess Cheng is poisoned and dies, then what caused the poisoning needs to be discussed." Nangong Hui said.
The queen nodded slightly and looked at the imperial doctor: "Imperial Doctor Fang, can you check now, what is the princess's poisoning?" ”
"Wechen will do his best!" Imperial Physician Fang bowed to the queen, and said to Concubine Duan, "I offended the princess", and began to check Baili Ruocheng's mouth and nose.
It was only a moment later that Imperial Physician Fang stopped. The queen asked, "How?" ”
Imperial Physician Fang stood up and said to the queen: "If you go back to the queen's mother, if Princess Ruocheng died of poison, and the last thing she drank before her death was wine. Weichen deduced that if Princess Ruocheng drank poisonous wine, so this is so. ”
In an uproar, the queen frowned and continued: "Then you continue to check to see if the poisonous wine is still here." ”
Doctor Fang Ying said "yes" and looked on the table for a moment. On the table was Baili Ruocheng's own wine, which she had almost drunk, and the half-drunk pot of wine she had taken from Liu Qingyan's table.
Doctor Fang took out the silver needle to test the poison, and sure enough, the silver needle turned black in the half pot of wine.
Liu Qingyan looked at Nangong Hui, who gave her a grim smile and turned away.
Seeing her like this, Liu Qingyan knew it and began to think about countermeasures.
After finishing all the work, Imperial Physician Fang turned to the queen: "Queen Mother, there is a pot of wine in it, which is poisoned, and it is also the pot that Princess Ruocheng was poisoned after drinking it." ”
The queen frowned, and her cold and cold gaze fell on Liu Qingyan's body: "Princess Qi, this palace will ask you, is that pot of poisonous wine for Princess Ruocheng?" ”
