Chapter 54: Who Poisoned the Princess?
"Poisoned? How could it be. Murong Xi still said weakly. In fact, she was indeed poisoned, and she had just poisoned herself. I didn't expect that this imperial doctor's medical skills are really good, and this poison is generally something that few people can see.
"Yes, Her Royal Highness Princess Xu is eating something inappropriate today, which caused food poisoning." Imperial Physician Liu spoke very carefully, it was impossible for him to say that Her Royal Highness the princess seemed to have been poisoned.
"The palace will pay attention to it in the future, then there will be Imperial Doctor Lao Liu. Mo'er, follow Imperial Doctor Liu to grab the medicine. Murong Xi said weakly.
"Yes." After Mo'er waited for Imperial Physician Liu to write down the prescription, she followed Imperial Physician Liu to the Imperial Hospital to grab medicine.
Just as he turned around, Imperial Physician Liu went out, and Murong Xi took an antidote and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, why do you really have to take the poison?" Ru Hua shook her head and said.
"Look at it, Imperial Physician Liu will be called to Xianfu Palace by Emperor Yuan to interrogate in a while. When the time comes, Imperial Physician Liu will definitely tell the truth, so let Emperor Yuan and Concubine Yuan guess it herself. Murong Xi said with a smile.
Sure enough, not long after Mo'er left, Huan'er, who was next to Emperor Yuan's concubine, went to the Tai Hospital and summoned Imperial Doctor Liu to Xianfu Palace.
"See the mother." Imperial Physician Liu said respectfully.
"Excuse me." After Emperor Yuan finished speaking, Imperial Physician Liu stood up.
"Imperial Physician Liu, you just came back from Ning Xi Palace, do you know where Princess Jingruo is uncomfortable?" Emperor Yuan's concubine looked like she was very concerned about whether Murong Xi was really sick.
"Back to Niangniang, after Weichen checked Princess Jingruo's pulse, he found that Princess Jingruo seemed to have been poisoned. So, she just prescribed a pair of antidotes to the palace maids beside her. Imperial Physician Liu said without any concealment.
Emperor Yuan's concubine was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Poisoned?" Imperial Doctor Liu, are you sure that Princess Jingruo was poisoned? "She hasn't done it yet, who still wants Murong Xi's life?
"Back to Niangniang, Weichen is sure. Her Royal Highness Xu is the princess ate something unclean, so there are signs of food poisoning. Doctor Liu said solemnly. The food in the palace is all first-class and fine, how can you eat something unclean?
"Alright, you go down first." Emperor Yuan was a little irritable, so she waved her hand and asked Imperial Doctor Liu to go back first.
"Niangniang, how could Her Royal Highness the princess be poisoned?" Mama Yan asked suspiciously.
"She has just returned to the palace, and she has never made enemies. Who would take such a risk and poison her desperately? Besides, she's just a princess. Emperor Yuan also asked with a hint of doubt. There are many concubines in the palace, but they don't attack the prince, but the princess who is loved by the emperor, which is unreasonable.
Mama Yan suddenly said: "Niangniang, the slave maid doesn't think that this matter is aimed at Her Royal Highness the Princess. After thinking about it, it seems to be aimed at you.
After the princess returned, the emperor's attitude towards you has just improved. I will also leave Her Royal Highness the Princess to you to take care of. If anything happens to Her Royal Highness the Princess, she will definitely be inseparable from you.
What's more, for so many years, the emperor has had a thorn in his heart, will he directly think that the person who poisoned you is you? Therefore, the person who poisoned the princess wanted to trap you in injustice. ”
As soon as Mama Yan's words fell, Emperor Yuan Guifei also thought of this. After Murong Xi returned to the palace, the relationship between the emperor and her was not as tense as before, and it eased a lot. If Murong Xi really had an accident, the emperor would think that he couldn't tolerate the existence of the princess because of the queen. Hehe, which slut did it? Lady? Virtuous Concubine? Or is it Concubine Li?
"What Mama Yan said is very true. But it's not like a concubine, she has been keeping to herself all these years, not like an ambitious person. Besides, she only got one princess. There is simply no reason to do so. However, it is difficult for others to say. Hehe, the palace can't sit in the queen's seat, they still want to sit in the delusional seat? It's just whimsical! In the past few days, I have been keeping an eye on this palace. Hongu wants to see who is framing Hongu. Emperor Yuan said angrily.
"Rest assured, the old slave will not let people take advantage of the loopholes." Mama Yan replied.
Ningxi Palace
"How? Let me guess right. At this time, Murong Xi looked a little poisoned, she was wearing a coat and was leaning on the couch eating fruit, and asked Mo'er who had just come back proudly.
It turned out that Mo'er did not go back to Ningxi Hall directly after grabbing the medicine, but stared at Imperial Physician Liu in the dark, and when she saw that Huan'er, the aunt of Xianfu Palace, went to the Imperial Hospital to call Imperial Physician Liu, she immediately followed. And, I heard their conversation.
"Miss, Emperor Yuan's concubine and Yan Mama thought that the harem concubines wanted to compete for the queen's position, so they poisoned you to frame Emperor Yuan's concubine." Then Mo'er told Murong Xi what Imperial Physician Liu had answered just now, as well as the conversation between Imperial Concubine Yuan and Mama Yan after Imperial Physician Liu left.
"Hehe, I said that after doing this, she will definitely be suspicious with her temperament." Murong Xi smiled and said.
As soon as Murong Xi's words fell, he heard Aunt Yu's anxious voice coming in from outside the door: "Your Royal Highness Princess, just heard that the imperial doctor has come?" Where are you unwell, did the doctor prescribe medicine? ”
"Aunt Yu, come in." Murong Xi looked at Rushi suspiciously, Rushi shrugged her shoulders and didn't plan to say it at this time.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the slave maid doesn't know why she slept so deeply today, and she just heard the sound before she knew that it was Imperial Doctor Liu who came over. You must know that you will be in time in a few days, but nothing can go wrong. Aunt Yu said worriedly.
"And Huh? Auntie, on the day of the hairpin, is it necessary for an elder to comb the hair of the woman and then give the hairpin? Murong Xi asked with a wink. Aunt Yu didn't mention it, but she forgot about it.
"Yes, you must know that the most ideal elder to comb your hair is of course the Queen Mother, but unfortunately it will take some time for her to reach the capital. Therefore, after thinking about it, I estimated that this person might choose the Yuan Emperor's concubine. Aunt Yu sighed and said.
Murong Xi didn't continue the topic after hearing this, she needed to think about it. Then she said to Aunt Yu, "Auntie, I don't have anything to do. The doctor also said that I might have eaten the wrong thing. So, you can rest assured. I'm tired and want to rest, so go to sleep. ”
"Yes." Aunt Yu nodded and went back to her room.
Murong Xi asked at this time, "Rushi, how did Aunt Yu wake up?" ”
"Miss, I'm afraid that Aunt Yu will suddenly ask you why you are uncomfortable when you are away. So, I gave her some incense. Otherwise, from the time the Yuan Emperor Guifei sent someone, she should have woken up a long time ago. However, when she woke up at that time, she must be more nervous about you than the Yuan Emperor Guifei, what if she broke in and saw you. Rushi said happily.
Well, Rushi is right to be worried. Aunt Yu must be very nervous when she sees her gone, in case the clues are discovered by the Yuan Emperor and the concubine, it will not be beautiful.
"Well, let's get some rest sooner." After finishing speaking, Murong Xi went back to the inner room and fell asleep.
Sure enough, early the next morning. The emperor asked Father-in-law Shun to come over and pass the decree, and asked her to go to Liuyun Hall before lunch.
Murong Xi pretended not to know anything and asked, "Father-in-law Shun, why did my father let me go to the palace banquet?" ”
"Oh, Your Highness Princess. This is not an ordinary palace banquet, it is a family banquet. It was Prince Ying who came back, and Prince Ying was the emperor's brother. I haven't returned to the capital for more than ten years, and the emperor is happy and talks about you. Doesn't this inform you to attend the family banquet together and let Prince Ying's family meet you. Father-in-law Shun explained.
"I see, that Hongu knows. Let my father rest assured that the palace will go. Murong Xi said with a look of sudden realization.
"Then the slave left first, and returned it to the emperor." Father-in-law Shun hurriedly walked out of the Ning Xi Palace.
Last night, she appeared in Prince Ying's mansion, and everyone saw her appearance except for Murong Yi. Therefore, early this morning, Murong Qian will definitely inform Murong Yi of her changes now, and she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
So, after she and Mo'er had breakfast, they went to the flower garden to see how the herbs were doing. Aunt Yu hurriedly followed out and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you are not feeling well, why did you run to the flower garden again without resting?" I have to attend a palace banquet in a while, how can this work? ”
"Aunt Yu, I've been much better after a good night's sleep. Don't worry, I'm just going to the flower garden to see how the flowers are doing, and the watering is all done by Mo'er and them. Murong Xi said slowly. She knew that Aunt Yu really cared about her, and she was afraid that she would hold on.
"That's fine, if you're not feeling well, don't go to the flower garden." Aunt Yu said.
"Well, aunt, don't worry, if you don't feel well, I'll go back to the room and lie down immediately." Murong Xi said with a grin.
Aunt Yu was a little relieved at this time.
Murong Xi naturally knew that Aunt Yu was worried about her body, so after smiling, she pushed open the fence and walked into the flower garden, and found that the orchid grass was growing very fast, it had just sprouted yesterday, and it had grown taller today. When she brought it back before, she planted it in the back mountain, but she didn't expect that the first time she planted it in the flower garden, it would be successful.
After Murong Xi asked Mo'er and the others to water these herbs, she went back to the room after looking at the flower beds.
Murong Xi saw that the hour was almost up, so he asked Mo'er to bring her a set of white clothes to change into. Then she asked Mo'er to pull her hair in a bun, and she still had the white hosta on her head. Not to mention, this white hosta can emit a faint orchid fragrance, which is really peculiar. After Murong Xi rubbed some of the skin care products he had concocted, he didn't apply rouge gouache on his face again. After looking in the mirror, he set off with Mo'er and the others.
As soon as Murong Xi walked out of the gate of Ningxi Palace, he saw Father-in-law Shun walking outside the door, and Mo'er asked, "Father-in-law Shun, but what's the matter?" ”
"It's Your Majesty who doesn't worry, let the servants come to pick up Her Royal Highness the Princess, I'm afraid that you haven't been to know the direction of the Liuyun Palace." Father-in-law Shun said.
"Then it's bothering my father-in-law to lead the way." Mo'er said with a smile.
