Chapter 17: The Emperor is Cold
Lin Jiaojiao paused, and looked sideways at the panting Chen Fu: "Who did you say was poisoned?" ”
"Meditation Ritual Poisoning." Chen Fu gasped and repeated again.
And someone poisoned that idiot?
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think about it now.
"Prepare the sedan chair!"
After a simple tidying up, she took the first rain and the first dew to the Phi Xiang Palace, where the retreat was lived.
By the time she arrived, most of the concubines had already arrived, the emperor and queen and the concubines were sitting, and the other palace concubines were standing.
She stepped forward quickly and greeted the emperor and queen first.
The emperor had a calm face and did not make a sound. The queen nodded towards Lin Jiaojiao and said softly: "The concubine is here, sit down." ”
Lin Jiaojiao straightened up, walked to the empty chair beside Concubine Shu and sat down.
She raised her eyes and swept it, the concubines standing here were worried on all faces, but they didn't know how much of their true feelings were.
The emperor's face at this time was cold and terrifying, and his thin lips were tightly pursed. Although he does not favor the retreat, he will never allow anyone in the harem to do anything poisoning.
On weekdays, he coldly watched the concubines in the harem compete for favor, as long as he didn't step on his bottom line, he would turn a blind eye.
But today's incident is stepping on his bottom line, someone dares to poison the palace concubine, so will he dare to poison him one day!
The emperor and queen didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little silent and depressing.
After a while, the imperial physician came out of the dormitory inside, followed by the palace maid He Luo.
Her eyes were red, it could be seen that she had just cried, and the most sincere fear in this hall was that she was really worried about the retreat.
"Imperial Doctor Li, how is Jing Shuyi's condition?"
The queen knew that the emperor was not in a good mood at this time, and seeing that he didn't mean to speak, she looked at the imperial doctor who came out and asked.
"Back to the queen's mother, the minister has already detoxified the poison of the meditation ceremony, and it will be okay to take the decoction for a few more days."
Imperial Physician Li replied respectfully, for the things in the harem, those of them who are imperial doctors only do their duty, and the less they know, the better.
The queen breathed a sigh of relief on her face, as long as she didn't make trouble. Otherwise, the emperor would definitely be furious, and he would blame her for not being optimistic about the harem.
When everything was done, the queen looked at He Luo, whose eyes were red, and asked, "Tell me what's going on?" ”
He Luo knelt down with a plop, and then told the story as it was: "Niangniang was a little hungry in the afternoon, so she rested after using a bowl of bird's nest." I didn't eat anything in between, and in the evening, I suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious. ”
The queen's eyebrows frowned slightly when she heard this: "Then the bird's nest can be tested by the imperial doctor?" ”
He Luo shook his head: "No." ”
Lin Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and sneered in her heart. The poisoned person's mind is very deep, and the bird's nest at noon is afraid that there is no shadow at this time, how to check this. Besides, this poison may not really be in the bird's nest, and it is even more difficult to investigate.
She glanced at the silent emperor, and the tight pursed lips already showed her impatience at this time.
The emperor suddenly got up, and his fingers turned the white jade wrench on his thumb.
"I'll leave it to the queen here, and I'll know who poisoned it in five days."
The queen was depressed for a while, she knew that the emperor was blaming her for not managing the harem well.
"Yes, the concubine will definitely find out about this matter."
Everyone got up and sent the emperor away.
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the departing figure, and sighed in her heart that this dog emperor was really cool enough.
