Chapter 261: Poisoning
After a few people entered Beijing, a eunuch got the news early and stayed at the palace gate, and after they paraded through the streets, they followed the eunuch directly into the palace.
After entering the palace, the emperor specially summoned several people and rewarded them in turn.
However, in addition to the return of the great sage, there is another happy event in the palace, that is, the concubines around the emperor are happy!
"Since they are all a family, let's stay in the palace and have a home-cooked meal at night!" After rewarding several people, the emperor left Lian Yi and Du Heng behind, planning to hold a family banquet and announce the happy event by the way.
And at this time, the emperor was about to tell them about it, when he heard a voice from outside the palace, "What's the matter?" β
The emperor's attention was immediately diverted, and he looked outside the hall and asked.
"It's Concubine Wan Niangniang who asked to see her, saying that she was coming to bring you ginseng soup." Seeing this, the old eunuch on the side hurriedly walked a few steps outside, and a little eunuch stepped forward to speak.
Knowing that it was Concubine Wan who came, a glimmer of light instantly appeared in the emperor's eyes, "Hurry up, please come in!" β
Seeing that the emperor was so attentive to a concubine, this made the two people on the side a little surprised, and then glanced at each other and then looked at the door.
I saw a graceful figure walking towards this side, brightly dressed, with a face like a peach blossom, just looking at it like this, it was all alive, and it looked very pleasing.
"The concubines see the emperor." The person who came had a smile on his face, and when he saluted the emperor again, the emperor leaked a trace of nervousness, and he didn't hold back and stepped forward to help him up, and he was very favored when he saw it.
"Concubine Ai quickly calm down, but you have to be careful."
After helping the concubine up, the emperor's expression eased, but the tension made the two of them notice.
Seeing this, Du Heng stepped forward, "Dare to ask the emperor, what is wrong with this concubine?" If it is useful to the minister, the minister will be willing to serve. β
They have only been gone for a few months, and they generally don't know too much about the affairs of the court, let alone the affairs of the lady in the harem, but looking at the emperor's attitude towards the concubine, it is obviously precious.
But the emperor was stunned when he heard Du Heng's words, and then he was shyly pushed by the concubine before he reacted, and then laughed and said: "This is not a problem, but a happy event!" β
Speaking of this, the corners of the emperor's mouth unconsciously deepened, this is the first time it has been so long!
And Lian Yi and Du Heng on the side haven't reacted for a while, happy event?
immediately shifted his gaze to Wan Concubine's body, and then found that Wan Concubine's whole body invisibly exuded this tender atmosphere of maternal love.
"Wan Concubine Niangniang, this is happy!" Du Heng said with a chuckle.
So that's the case, although the emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, but there are many concubines in the harem, but there is no good news, and now there is a sudden good news, and the two really didn't expect it.
"By the way, it just so happens that Du Heng is here, let her show her concubine." The emperor suddenly remembered that Du Heng was not only a state affair, Lian Yi's fiancΓ©e, but also a doctor!
Thinking like this, he pushed Wan Concubine in front of Du Heng, thinking that Du Heng would take Wan Concubine's pulse and see the fetal image.
Seeing this, Du Heng took the initiative to smile at Wan Concubine, stretched out his hand to probe her pulse, and Wan Concubine raised the embroidered handkerchief to cover her lips, and said softly to Du Heng, "I'm tired of the national teacher." β
"It's not a hassle, it's just a matter of convenience." Du Heng replied indifferently, but when his hand was probing the pulse, he suddenly paused, his brows suddenly furrowed, he glanced at Wan Concubine in surprise, and then tried again.
The result was still the same, and the brow between his foreheads tightened a little more.
"National ...... National teacher, this, but what's the matter? That concubine was originally in a very good mood, and she often had a smile on her face, but when she saw Du Heng's frown, her heart suddenly flickered, and her face couldn't help but turn a few degrees whiter.
What does she mean by this frown?
Could it be that something is wrong with your body?
Thinking of this, Concubine Wan unconsciously panicked, reached out to hold the emperor's arm, trying to find support.
When she saw Du Heng frowning, she did not doubt Du Heng's medical skills, but was worried about her physical condition, obviously because Du Heng trusted her very much.
"Don't be afraid, concubine." Seeing that Concubine Wan's heart was frightened, the emperor quickly patted her hand and comforted her.
Then he turned his head to look at Du Heng and asked nervously, "National Teacher, what's wrong with this concubine, are you talking?" β
Seeing this, Lian Yi couldn't help but turn her gaze to Du Heng, she must have found out something.
Seeing that the emperor and the concubines were all nervous, Du Heng hesitated, and then explained to them: "I think there are people in this palace who want to harm the little prince. β
Du Heng set his eyes on Wan Concubine's stomach, and his tone was slightly uneasy. For the Honored Academy
She seems to know why there are so many concubines in the emperor's harem, and only now has the truth come out that Concubine Wan is pregnant.
This made her a little at a loss, but this harem battle has never been on the stage, but I didn't expect that someone would do such a thing.
And the emperor and concubine who heard Du Heng's words both gasped, and even Lian Yi was stunned.
"What! Someone dared to poison my little prince! The emperor turned his head to the stomach of the concubine beside him in disbelief.
And Concubine Wan was also flustered at the moment, and her subordinates held Du Heng instead, her eyes were full of anxiety, "The national teacher must save my emperor!" Help us! Please! β
She is expensive with this mother and son!
Saying that, Concubine Wan was about to kneel down for Du Heng, Du Heng saw this and quickly reached out to scoop her up, "I can't help it, I can't help it, don't worry, the child in your womb is not in trouble, fortunately I found it early, otherwise, I would ......"
Du Heng didn't finish his words, but everyone understands when he hears it!
Although the child in her womb has not fallen, someone wants to harm her and the child in her womb!
As long as she thought that she might lose her child at any time, Concubine Wan was worried, turned around and quickly grabbed the emperor, and cried with tears in her eyes: "The emperor must be the master of the concubine!" Since the concubine entered the palace, she has always done her duty, and she has never thought about harming people, but now, someone wants to harm the concubine and the concubine, who is only two months in the womb! β
Concubine Wan was sad at the moment, her eyes were red, tears flowed, and the emperor was anxious and distressed, "Don't cry, concubine, you cry, how good am I!" β
The emperor hurriedly coaxed, stretched out his hand to gently wipe away the tears on Wan Concubine's face, and then spoke to the little eunuch beside him with an angry face, "Little Lingzi, give me a thorough investigation of the harem!" I want to see who can't see the prince's heirs! β
After hearing this, the little Lingzi who was guarding next to him hurriedly responded, and when he was about to go out, he was stopped by Du Heng.
"Wait! It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and we have to see what causes the poisoning. β
"Poisoned?"
As soon as Du Heng's words came out, although they had already prepared in their hearts, they still didn't expect that the other party would poison Concubine Wan!
"Yes, poisoning is a chronic poison, and it has been more than half a month since I thought about it!"
Du Heng was so surprised when he saw them, so he explained it to them.
What the other party gave was chronic poison, and if she continued to contact her in the long run, even if she had a good foundation, she would not be able to get pregnant!
And this concubine seems to be the emperor's concubine in the second half of this year, and there are many concubines in the palace, but she is pregnant, and she is still a newcomer who has just entered the harem!
Obviously, the person who poisoned him must not want the emperor to have children, or the battle for the concubines in the palace.
However, both of these are very possible, but this probability is very small, if it is the former, then it must be hidden deep enough in the palace, and it should be a grudge against the royal family, but if this is the latter.
That's a family affair!
And at this time, Concubine Wan couldn't stand up, "The news that the concubine is pregnant has only been out for more than a month, but now, someone has poisoned the concubine so far!" β
As she spoke, Concubine Wan couldn't help crying again, changing her joy when she first came in.
She had long imagined that her pregnancy would definitely be a matter of concern to the infertile concubines in the palace, so she kept this secret, but she still couldn't keep it, she was pregnant for a month, and the news spread out, and it was only two months now.
But who would have thought that the news of her pregnancy had just come out, and she would be remembered!
She is like a walking Tang monk meat now! I don't know how many people are worried about it!
"Bastard!" As soon as he heard this, the emperor was even more angry, Lian Yi and Du Heng had just returned to the palace, so naturally they didn't know the inside story, but he knew it clearly!
Then he asked Du Heng how to deal with it.
"Generally, if you poison it, you will poison it in food, tea, or objects that you can touch, as well as vegetation." Du Heng lowered his head and pondered, and said what he thought of it, "In addition, I think that the news of the pregnancy of a concubine in this palace has not come out for a long time, and it is obviously not a matter of time, and you can check similar objects in each concubine's palace." β
There must be two of this, like the poison on the concubine, there must be a lot of it in the palace!
Therefore, as long as you follow the vine and find out, you can find out who caused the poison.
"Your Majesty, the poison on the concubine?" Seeing the person who was poisoned, the emperor had already ordered someone to investigate, and Concubine Wan was a little relieved, but then she thought of the chronic poison that had been planted in her body, and tears unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
"Yes, yes, national teacher, I will ask you to help Concubine Ai get rid of the poison on her body." After Concubine Wan's reminder, the emperor reacted that the poison on Concubine Wan's body had not yet been unraveled, and even the child in her belly could be poisoned.
Thinking of this, he hated the poisoner even more, and he didn't even want to let go of the child, he was simply a femme fatale!
