Chapter 23: Yacon (2)

Imperial Doctor Chen replied: "If you go back to the emperor, King Xuan is an uncommon poison, called abdominal strangulation, the poisoned person first has abdominal pain, then falls into a coma, and finally, dies of exhaustion. ”

After hearing this, the emperor's face became even colder, and he then asked, "Have you found out where the poison came from?" ”

Imperial Doctor Chen said: "In yacon, King Xuan was poisoned because he ate yacon. ”

"Yacon?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, "There are also yacon fruits on my table just now, Liu An, you go and take all the yacon fruits and hand them over to Imperial Doctor Chen to check to see if they are poisonous!" ”

"The minions obey." Liu An replied, and quickly took the yacon fruit and handed it to Imperial Doctor Chen for examination.

After careful examination, Imperial Doctor Chen reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is no poison in the yacon fruit on your table. ”

"What about the prince's table?"

Imperial Doctor Chen said truthfully: "The yacon fruit on the prince's table, Wei Chen has already checked it just now, and it is the same as the yacon fruit on King Xuan's table, it has the poison of the abdomen. ”

The emperor was furious when he heard this: "It's really against the sky, there are people who want to murder my prince, King Xuan is probably involved by the prince!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the queen and asked in a deep voice,

"Queen, today's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was organized and prepared by you, and you can't escape the blame for such a thing, now, do you have anything to explain to me?"

When the queen heard this, she hurriedly said: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is indeed prepared by the concubines, but the people who handle it are not only the concubines, but also the crown princess. When the dinner was about to start, the concubine also sent the crown princess to the imperial dining room to check the things they had prepared. Yacon is poisonous, why don't you report it to this palace? How do you do that?! ”

The queen is planning to drag Yun Xiao to carry the pot together.

Yun Xiao had expected the queen to say this, and she had already thought of how to deal with it, she walked out calmly, and said calmly to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the concubines did go to the imperial dining room today to check the food they prepared for the dinner, but the concubines just went to see it, and they didn't come into contact with those things, and the concubines didn't understand pharmacology, just from the color, they couldn't distinguish these yacon berries at all, whether they were poisonous or not, so they couldn't report to the queen in advance, and asked the mother to forgive them!"

When the emperor heard this, he nodded: "You say that, there is some truth." ”

Yun Xiao felt that the emperor's impression of himself seemed to be very good, at least, better than the impression of the queen.

On the other side, the queen was still holding on to Yun Xiao, and she continued: "I'm afraid you deliberately concealed it and didn't report it!" Crown Princess, you are the last person in this hall to come into contact with these yacons, and you are also the one with the most chance of poisoning, now, who can prove that you did not poison yacon? Don't answer this palace, it's your maid! ”

The more the queen pressed forward step by step, the more Yun Xiao suspected that everything today was done by the queen.

However, wouldn't it be too weird for the queen to poison Xia Rui, and then push everything onto his main room? !

Yun Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the queen, and said:

"Even if the concubine is the last person to contact the yacon, it can't be proved that the poison in the yacon is the concubine's, and there are so many people coming and going in the imperial dining room, they all have a chance to attack, and every one of them is suspicious!"

Yun Xiao's eyes flickered, crossed Xia Rui, and finally fixed on the emperor's body, she continued calmly,

"The yacon on the emperor's table is not poisonous, but the yacon on the table of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is poisonous, according to the words of the queen's mother, isn't the concubine suspected of murdering her husband?! However, it has been less than a month since the concubine married His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is the time of the newlywed Yan'er, not to mention that the husband and wife get along harmoniously for the time being, the concubine herself loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much, what reason does the concubine have to murder her most beloved person? ! ”

"You ......"

When the queen heard this, she immediately froze, but she quickly retorted,

"Hmph, Crown Princess, you are really eloquent, although the yacon on the prince's table is poisonous, but the prince didn't eat it, you must have reminded the prince in advance that the yacon on his table was poisonous, so the prince didn't eat it. It can be seen that the crown princess is really affectionate to the prince! ”

What a mouth!

Yun Xiao felt that arguing with the queen had to be spirited!

After thinking for a while, Yun Xiao continued: "The concubine didn't know that yacon was poisonous in advance, and she didn't remind the prince of anything in advance, although His Royal Highness the prince didn't eat yacon, but His Royal Highness the prince's younger brother King Xuan ate it, and almost had a big accident, the concubine loves His Royal Highness the prince deeply, how could she not remind him of the danger knowing that there is danger?" Does Niangniang think that the concubine is plotting to kill King Xuan behind His Royal Highness the Prince's back? ”

When Yun Xiao said this, she suddenly stopped, because she saw that the emperor suddenly turned his eyes and looked at the queen coldly, and she kept seeing the queen's scalp tingle.

The queen looked back at the emperor with a confused expression, not knowing which of the words she had just said was wrong.

The emperor turned his eyes to look at Yun Xiao again and said to her, "Crown princess, you should step back first!" ”

"Yes!"

Yun Xiao returned to the place where he was standing just now, but saw Xia Rui looking at him and smiling very brightly.

She couldn't help frowning and whispered, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Xia Rui waited for Yun Xiao to stand beside him, and then said to Yun Xiao in a voice that only two people could hear:

"Crown Princess, you just confessed in front of so many people, and you were happy in your lonely heart, of course you have to laugh!"

When Yun Xiao heard this, his face turned red.

----I was protecting myself just now, can't you see it? Your Royal Highness the Prince, you better wake up quickly!

On the other side, the emperor said to the queen without being salty:

"Empress, General Yun is standing below now, and it's not good for you to say in front of so many people that the newlywed couple is not in harmony! Seemingly...... You still hold a grudge that I promised the Yun family's daughter to Tianrui, but not to Yu Ze! ”

When the queen heard this, her face suddenly turned blue and white, and she hurriedly said: "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine and the emperor have been married for decades, how can they hate the emperor?" ”

At this moment, Yun Xiao reminded: "Your Majesty, King De didn't eat yacon just now, why don't you let Imperial Doctor Chen tell me whether the yacon on King De's table is poisonous?" ”

With her words, the eyes of the emperor and the queen all cast towards King De.

King De, who was originally standing to watch the play, couldn't help but feel a pang in his back when he saw this. His eyes swept over the cloud flute like a sharp sword, and then looked at the emperor again.

However, he was about to speak, but he saw the emperor looking at Imperial Doctor Chen, and asked very majestically: "Imperial Doctor Chen, did you check the yacon fruit on King De's table just now?" ”

Imperial Doctor Chen hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, Weichen has already checked it." ”

"Is it toxic?"

"Yes, and, too, the poison of the belly!"

When the emperor and queen heard this, they looked at King De again.

The emperor asked in a deep voice: "King De, did you know about today's events in advance?" ”

King De hurriedly stepped out of the queue and said, "When I returned to my father's words, my sons didn't know about it. Today's events have nothing to do with Erchen, Erchen is innocent, and he was almost killed! ”

When the queen heard this, she looked at King De and smiled very dangerously: "King De, are you telling the truth?!" Hongu remembers that you also like to eat yacon, and today you served fresh yacon, why don't you eat it? ”

King De didn't raise his eyelids, and replied calmly: "Because Erchen drank a lot of wine tonight, it is not appropriate to eat too much fruit, the yacon fruit is late, and Erchen doesn't want to eat it very much tonight, and not long after the palace maid got the yacon, there was news of King Xuan's poisoning, and Erchen was worried about King Xuan, where can he still care about eating yacon?" ”

"Really?" The queen raised her eyebrows, and her eyes swept over King De, "Usually you are not like this!" ”

King De raised his eyebrows and looked at the queen, and said deliberately full of doubts:

"Queen Mother, you first grabbed the crown princess today, and now you hold on to your sons, but this dinner is obviously organized and prepared by you, and you are the most suspicious, you are doing this, it is obvious that you are diverting the public's attention!"

"Presumptuous! The palace is innocent and frank, there is no need to divert the public's attention at all, this palace asks so much, but it is to assist the emperor in investigating the case. It's you, who have been talking about him left and right, obviously avoiding the problems of this palace. King De, King De, what the hell are you trying to hide?! ”

"You ......"

The queen and King De were tit-for-tat, arguing, and the emperor was impatient when he heard it, and shouted: "Okay, shut up!" ”

The emperor was furious, and the bottom was suddenly silent.

The emperor looked at everyone with a calm face, and after a while, said:

"You don't have to rush to me every time something happens, you don't have to rush to me to shout grievances, what you have done, you know in your heart that I will not favor anyone."

Speaking of this, the emperor glanced at the queen and then at King De, and then continued,

"Just now, as soon as I received the news, I ordered everyone to stay in the Guangxian Hall and not leave, so many pairs of eyes watching, this poisoned person now wants to go back and clean up, it is impossible! For the sake of fairness, Liu An, you now take three teams of people to search the Middle Palace, the Crown Princess's Bedroom, and the Dewang Mansion to see whose palace is hiding the poison just now! ”

The queen was taken aback when she heard this, she hurriedly turned her head to look at the emperor, and asked in disbelief:

"Your Majesty, do you want to search the middle palace of the concubines? Don't you believe in concubines?! ”
