Chapter 143: Poison
Seeing that the emperor was a little excited, Concubine Xian hurriedly asked people to bring a chair over for the emperor to sit down.
"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body."
Everyone knelt on the ground in unison, Meng combed her eyebrows and lowered her head, and it took a long time to hear the emperor ask her what was going on.
Concubine Yue's body has never had any problems going abroad, and she has always been healthy, how could she have a miscarriage without warning?
"The concubine has a conjecture about this."
Meng combed his eyebrows and straightened up, saying that when he was helping Concubine Yue cut her pulse, she found that Concubine Yue was highly poisonous, so she had a miscarriage, and now although Concubine Yue saved her life, she left a lot of losses in her body, and it would take a long time to recuperate.
As soon as they heard this, everyone's faces changed, there was someone in the palace who dared to do such a thing that lost yin morality?
The emperor was even more furious, and ordered a thorough investigation, and no one could leave the palace half a step until the poisoner was found!
All the ministers were gathered in the adjacent hall, and the royal people remained with the emperor.
The Imperial Doctor and the guards had gone to check all the things that Concubine Yue had ever touched, and asked Xue Wei beside Concubine Yue if she had ever noticed anything wrong with Concubine Yue.
"Niangniang has been paying great attention to maintenance since she had the prince, and she will not eat anything except the fetal medicine delivered every day and the meals made in the kitchen."
The emperor remembered something when he heard the word fetal medicine, and he remembered that before the accident, Concubine Yue had drunk a bowl of fetal medicine.
He immediately asked the imperial doctor to bring the empty bowl, and then asked the imperial doctor to see if the fetal medicine sent had been tampered with.
There was only a little bit of medicinal juice left in the bowl, and the imperial doctor reached out and dipped a little and put it in his mouth.
"The minister really thinks that there is something wrong with this medicine, but the minister is not very sure, and he asked the father-in-law who passed the meal to come and taste it."
There are a lot of little eunuchs in the palace who are specially used to test vegetables, they have a sensitive tongue, whether it is food or medicinal herbs, as long as they taste it, they can know what is in it.
The little eunuch soon came, and after he tasted the medicine, he said the names of the herbs inside.
When the imperial doctor heard this, he nodded again and again and said that the peach kernels, safflower, and myrrh put in it are all medicinal materials to reduce swelling and stasis, and pregnant women will definitely have abdominal pain and other discomforts when they eat it.
The emperor pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked the queen: "I remember that since Concubine Yue was pregnant, you have been sending these medicines again, right?" ”
The queen's face turned pale, she lifted her phoenix robe and knelt on the ground: "The concubine has never done anything to hurt the prince, please let the emperor know!" ”
The emperor sneered and looked at the queen, what kind of face did she have to say that she had never done anything hurtful to heaven and reason? Didn't she do it once twenty years ago?
Seeing that the emperor didn't believe it, the prince also knelt down.
"Father, this medicine has been given for a long time, and the imperial doctor has seen it every time, besides, would anyone be so stupid as to give poison to others in their own name?"
What the prince said is not entirely unreasonable, if the murderer is really the queen, many places really don't make sense.
At this moment, Bai Shao suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Meng Combrow's eyebrows and said, "It's her!" It was Princess Chen who killed Concubine Yue. ”
As soon as he heard that the spearhead was aimed at Meng Comb, the prince was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Bai Shao to speak slowly.
"If you know something, just say it, with Prince Ben here, you can speak freely! I promise that as long as you tell the truth, I will take care of you. ”
Bai Shao knelt down and said that he was accompanying Meng Comb Mei and Mu Qingyan to change clothes, and met the eunuch who delivered fetal medicine on the way.
She felt very strange at the time, why Meng combed her eyebrows and had to take a look at the fetal pills.
"Because she is the princess, the slave maid can't stop it, and now that I think about it, it may be that time that Princess Chen did something in the medicine."
Bai Shao's words successfully attracted the attention of everyone to Meng Comb.
That's right, after Concubine Yue became pregnant, the queen has always been taking care of her, caring about food, clothing, housing and transportation, if the queen really wants to be unfavorable to Concubine Yue, she has a lot of opportunities, and she doesn't have to wait until the palace banquet to do it.
For a while, there were different opinions, and no one could determine what the truth of the matter was.
Meng Combs has obviously become the most suspicious person, but there are too many things that are aimed at Meng Combs today, so Bai Shao's words were originally nine points credible, but now they only sound seven points to the ears of others.
Hearing this, the crown prince stepped forward: "Father, the matter is already very clear, I have long heard that Princess Chen is proficient in pharmacology, and it should not be difficult to use her hands and feet in medicine." ”
Jing Qicheng gently patted Meng's hand combing his eyebrows.
"If you have anything to discern, just say, I'll always be on your side."
Meng combed her eyebrows and raised her head to look at Jing Qicheng, she suddenly felt a little regretful.
Would he be angry if he found out what was going on?
But in any case, she has taken the first step, and the rest will continue whether she wants it or not.
She took a deep breath: "What the prince said is right, I am indeed proficient in medical skills, so I was able to save Concubine Yue Niangniang before the imperial doctor arrived, didn't I?" ”
Meng combed his eyebrows and asked the imperial doctor kneeling on the ground, if he didn't save himself, Concubine Yue was now powerless to return to the sky, and she also said at the time that she also cared about Concubine Yue, so she took a look at the fetal pills.
For such a short period of time, and with so many pairs of eyes staring at him, wouldn't it be too risky to really want to poison him?
Take 10,000 steps back and say, Concubine Yue once helped herself once, what reason did she have to kill Concubine Yue's child?
The imperial doctor's honest answer is indeed true, Concubine Yue's body is poisonous and ferocious, and the child will definitely not be able to keep it, if it weren't for Meng Combing Eyebrows and pouring medicine into Concubine Yue in time, maybe Concubine Yue would have died by now.
"I think you have all heard the words of the imperial doctor, since the prince said that I hurt Concubine Yue, then why should I do this extra and save people after harming them?"
The prince was speechless, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't say a word to refute it.
Meng Comb's words also made sense, and Concubine Xian also helped her speak, saying that her body had always been helped by Meng Comb, and she didn't believe that Meng Comb's eyebrows would do such a thing.
Things seem to have reached an impasse, the queen and Meng are both suspicious, but they also have reasons to distinguish for themselves, and no one can say why.
"What the hell is going on with the poison on Concubine Yue's body, can any of you give me an explanation!"
The emperor was furious, and everyone said that they were innocent, could it be that Concubine Yue poisoned herself?
This matter must be investigated, the palace is the residence of the prince, and even the concubines can almost be injured by the gangsters, and the royal face is still missing!
