The eighteenth day of the first month was opened. The excerpt of the impeachment of the left prime minister flew like snowflakes to the imperial case of the Xuanzheng Palace.

This time, the emperor did not delay as he did with the right minister, but acted as vigorously and resolutely as he did when he dealt with the queen's mother's family, and ordered the imperial history to investigate thoroughly. However, in just a few days, the Imperial Historical Observatory listed the crimes of the left prime minister for "putting his beak on the country's foundation, greedy for money and accepting bribes, forming a party and acting recklessly, and 'selfish' and 'desire'". The emperor dismissed him from his post and sent him to prison, and the rest of the party members were also demoted and exiled.

He Concubine Shu went to the 'door' of the Xuanzheng Hall to cry and beg, and the emperor ordered someone to help her back to the Qingsi Hall and not to meet her.

It's just that this matter is not over yet, and something big has happened in the harem!

I was teasing Baoyue in the palace, and suddenly someone came to report that something happened to Fang Baolin, I was busy asking what was wrong, and it was Fang Baolin's personal palace 'girl' Xiaotao who came to report, she seemed to be extremely scared, and when she saw me ask her, she replied tremblingly: "At noon, Concubine Xian Niangniang sent someone to send a box of snacks, but after the imperial doctor checked it, she found that ...... I found that there was a ...... in that snack There are aconite!"

"Aconite!" I was shocked and asked sharply, "You must be careful, don't lie!"

Xiao Tao was so frightened by me that she cried: "The slave doesn't dare to lie, the slave really didn't lie!"

Aconite replenishes fire and helps yang, dispels cold and relieves pain, but because of its toxic "nature", it is too careful to use medical "medicine". And this flavor of 'medicine' is clearly ordered: pregnant 'women' are forbidden!

The 'spring' equinox is 'coloring' and asking: "Niangniang, do you want to send Imperial Doctor Lu to inquire?"

"Naturally, I want to inquire, but this palace has to go over in person!" waved his hand to let Lu Mu take Baoyue down, and asked Xiao Tao in a low voice, "Does anyone else know about this matter?"

Xiao Tao hurriedly said: "No, no, Imperial Doctor Lu said that this matter is very important, except for the queen mother, no one else can say it." ”

Imperial Physician Lu was personally ordered by me to take care of the Fang family, and I also made it clear to Concubine Xian that since she valued the Fang family's fetus so much, she would take care of it, and if the Fang family had three longs and two shorts, she would not be able to escape the involvement! I was worried about her in my heart, so I asked Shen Qi to recommend a Imperial Doctor Lu to me to keep an eye on. However, Concubine Xian is still doing this, it's too blatant, right?

Summoned Shen Qi to come over and go to the Shicui Hall together, Imperial Physician Lu was waiting at the 'door' of the side hall of the Fang family, and when he saw me coming, he hurriedly saluted me. When I entered the door, I asked, "What about the box of dim sum?"

Fang Shi was lying on the 'bed', his face was pale without a trace of blood, struggling to salute me, I hurriedly held her down, and said, "Frightened, don't be afraid, you have your own palace to call the shots!"

Fang Shi shrunk and said, "Fortunately, Imperial Doctor Lu is here today, otherwise, the concubine really can't imagine it!"

Imperial Physician Lu brought the box of dim sum over, and I didn't look at it, but only asked Shen Qi to check it. After Shen Qi carefully examined it, he said: "It is indeed an aconite, although the weight is not heavy, it is not enough to cause a person's 'sex' life, but if the pregnant 'woman' uses it, the fetus must not be protected!"

Fang Shi let out a wail and sobbed.

I glanced at her and asked Xiao Tao, "Do you know which palace 'girl' next to Concubine Xian came to deliver the snacks?"

Xiao Tao said: "It's a small palace 'girl', so it's not common, it seems to be called Man'er." ”

I nodded, and then commanded, "Take good care of your little master, and don't let her be sad and scared again." "Walked out of the inner room and said to the 'spring equinox': "Spread the decree of the palace, and all the palace people who touched Man'er and the box of snacks into the palace Zhengsi, inform the master, and be sure to show the truth!"

'Spring' took the order to leave, and I said to Imperial Physician Lu: "Now that the court is busy, the emperor has every opportunity, you have to be extra careful of Fang's fetus, and nothing can happen!"

Imperial Physician Lu respectfully agreed, and I asked the Shanggong Bureau to select a few more people to come over and serve before going back. But as soon as she returned to the Chenghuan Palace, Concubine Xian rushed over, and before she entered the palace, she asked: "Queen Mother, what mistakes did the palace people around the concubines make, and it is worth sending them to the palace in such a big battle?

I sat on the phoenix throne and looked at her coldly, and when she was finished, I asked, "Don't you know what mistakes they made?"

Concubine Xian stood in the hall, looked at me with a stiff neck, and said disdainfully: "The queen's mother asked this strangely, if the concubine knew, why did she come to ask the mother!"

I knocked the box of dim sum mixed with aconite to the ground, and shouted: "This palace has long warned you, don't act rashly! You sent dim sum so blatantly, do you think that this palace really doesn't dare to deal with you?"

Concubine Xian glanced at the box of dim sum and asked, "What's wrong with this dim sum?"

"What's the matter? Do you want to ask this palace? Okay, then this palace will ask you first, did you send this snack to Fang Baolin?"

"Yes, so what?"

"How? Since you ordered it to be sent, do you know that this snack has been mixed with aconite? What is aconite, don't you know? Poison people's lives and damage the fetus!"

Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "How can there be an aconite? The concubine knows nothing! Could it be that the queen is suspicious of the concubine?"

I was suspicious in my heart, did she really not know, or did she deliberately shirk it? He said coldly: "The dim sum was made by you and sent by the people in your palace, can't this palace doubt you?"

She pursed her lips and said, "Since the queen mother has suspicions, you might as well investigate thoroughly, the concubine will naturally not be afraid if she has not done it!"

I smiled slightly and said, "This is the right reason, before the matter is clear, you are still suspicious, so these days, you don't have to come out in the palace." ”

She was stunned: "Niangniang wants to ban the feet of the concubine?"

I took the tea: "The grounding is also for your good, so as not to cause trouble again!" After speaking, he lowered his head and drank tea, ignoring her.

Concubine Xian knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless, so she had to retreat abruptly.

Not long after she left, she returned from Gong Zhengji at the spring equinox and said to me: "Anyone who has touched that box of dim sum has already entered Gong Zhengji, and Yang Chang said that he would give Niang Niang a satisfactory answer." ”

"Concubine Fang Caixian has been here," I said briefly, and asked, "Look, does she really not know, or does she have a trick?" After thinking about it, I frowned again and whispered: "This matter is strange, she knows that I have fortified her, and I can't get out of it after the incident, how can she do such a stupid thing? To say that her original plan is to be implicated by her palace people!"

The 'spring' equinox also seemed to be puzzled: "Niangniang don't be impatient, and wait for the results of Gong Zhengji! It's just Niangniang, do you need to inform the emperor about this matter?"

"The affairs of the court are enough for him to be busy, but if he doesn't tell him, he will definitely be angry with me in the future, and besides, if this matter is so big today, I'm afraid he will already know about it. Let's go, accompany me to Yanying Palace!" I reluctantly got up and went to Yanying Palace.

After listening to what happened, Qi Heng's frowning brows never stretched, and he waved his hand and said: "This kind of thing is up to the queen to decide! If you ask what it is, it will be dealt with according to the palace rules, and you don't need to ask me." Without saying a few words, he sent me away, and sent a few courtiers in.

I saw that he was really busy, and it was not easy to disturb, so I asked Yang Chang to pass on the emperor's message, so that he did not have to scruple.
