Chapter Forty-Nine: Who Gave the Medicine
The imperial doctor squatted on the ground to check the pulse, and the Shi family was urgently moved to the side hall, and the virtuous concubine also followed with an uneasy expression.
After such an incident, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet could not be eaten, and everyone sat honestly in their seats, bowing their heads and no one dared to say more.
On the high platform, Jia Kangdi's face was gloomy, like the calm before the storm, the concubine looked at the queen who was frowning and trying her best to suppress the cough, and then swept her eyes and turned the Buddha beads to chant the queen mother, and was silent for a while or said to Jia Kangdi.
"Your Majesty, the queen's mother is in poor health, so it's better to let the mother go back to Fengwu Palace to rest first."
Jia Kangdi listened to the concubine's words, turned his head to look at the queen, and nodded.
"Your Majesty, concubines... Ahem...... The concubines are fine, and now that the situation of the three princesses is unknown, it is better for the concubines not to leave at will. ”
Of course, the queen is reluctant to go, this is obviously a scandal in the palace, as the queen is not here at this time, I am afraid that in the future, I will not have the prestige and status that the queen should have.
"Sister Guifei is kind, but it depends on the time, what is the matter with the queen's mother leaving at this time."
Concubine Hui pinched the handkerchief and nodded the corners of her lips, glanced at the inexplicable concubine, and sneered.
"What is Sister Huifei implying in her words? Could it be that the palace did something, or did you think the queen had done something? ”
"The concubine can't talk nonsense, who did what she knows in her heart, the concubine doesn't dare to doubt it, and when the imperial doctor comes out, it will naturally be clear."
"You ......"
"Shut up, what are you arguing about!"
Jia Kangdi ended the two bosses of the harem with a word, Tong Qingyan's fingers rubbed the patterns on her sleeves, and her eyelids gradually began to fight.
Song Zhan has been paying attention to Tong Qingyan since the third princess fell to the ground, and now looking at someone who is gradually starting to doze off, his eyes narrowed, he was afraid that he was wrong, and the whole person turned his eyes to look at it, and he was really pecking at the rice, and suddenly laughed angrily.
The three princes in the prince's pile were still sitting in their places stunned, and the four princes on his side were lying on their wine glasses, but in fact, their eyes swept everyone in the hall as if they were nothing.
When his gaze swept to the prince of Huai, and then followed the gaze of the prince of Huai to Tong Qingyan, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly, and he really found something interesting.
Time passed slowly, there was no movement in the side hall, and everyone became more and more restless, and this suffocating atmosphere was finally broken by the imperial doctor.
"Your Majesty, the condition of the third princess is still stable, and the fetus has been saved."
After the imperial doctor finished speaking, he didn't get any response, and he didn't dare to raise his head, so he just lay on the cold floor tiles honestly, but sweat slowly oozed from his forehead.
"Are you saying that Shi's fetus is indeed wrong?"
Jia Kangdi's cold tone sounded, and everyone's heads couldn't help lowering again, after all, no one wanted to be involved in the royal secrets, and tonight's incident looked like someone had a bad intention to kill the child in the womb of the third princess.
From the fact that the third princess was pregnant, everyone had some thoughts in their hearts, after all, if he was born a prince, that is, the eldest grandson of Emperor Jiakang, the value of the three princes would have risen a lot.
The four concubines all have heirs, and now the queen has no children, and the four concubines are all trying to fight for that position, and there have been many open and secret battles for so many years, and now when it comes to heirs, of course, some people don't want the three princesses to give birth to children safely.
The sweat on the head of the imperial doctor finally dripped on the floor tiles, and he secretly complained in his heart, thinking that he could do his best to save this fetus and get better, it seems that the emperor does not plan to gently expose this matter.
It's right to think about it, this is the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, so many civil and military officials are watching, such a thing happened, the emperor's face was swollen, the emperor was not happy, and the person who harmed people did not want to be better.
"If you go back to the emperor, the third princess... The third princess ate some unclean things and had fetal gas, but fortunately she didn't eat much, so she drank the fetal pills, and now she is asleep. ”
As soon as the imperial doctor finished speaking, everyone in the hall whispered, this eating something that should not be eaten moved the fetal gas, to put it bluntly, it was someone who was moved at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and he was going to die, who is so bold.
Jiakangdi's originally gloomy face became darker after listening to the report of the imperial doctor, and Li Zhong secretly sighed on the side, who is so eyeless, when to start this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, this is the head on the neck is tired.
The concubine looked at Jiakangdi, who had a dark face and didn't speak, and then at the imperial doctor who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and raised her hand.
"Get up and talk back."
"Xie Guifei Niangniang."
"Can you find out what unclean things the third princess has eaten?"
"Weichen's medical skills are shallow, and I privately think it should be incense."
As soon as the imperial doctor finished speaking, the discussion became louder, most of them were people who didn't know what incense was, obviously a few people on the high platform didn't understand it very well, the imperial doctor raised his eyes slightly and saw that the queen mother was focusing on himself, and hurriedly lowered his head and continued.
"The fragrance is not better than musk, although it is also not good for the fetus, but the medicinal effect is weaker than that of musk, and the fragrance is much lighter. Wei Chen carefully inspected and came to the conclusion that the emperor might as well change a few more imperial doctors to diagnose and treat the three princesses. ”
At this time, I can't take care of any friendship at all, I can pull one is one, I can't just be worried here, they have a reunion dinner at home.
"Anyone else in the Tai Hospital, call over, Li Zhong, you go in person, don't leak the news."
"Yes, the minions obey."
This movement, Tong Qingyan couldn't sleep well, cheered up and listened to it, feeling that someone must be unlucky tonight, it is estimated that it will be late to go back tonight, and the family has to worry again, he really does not agree with this palace, and every time he enters the palace, there is nothing good.
Song Zhan's eyes collided with Feicui behind Tong Qingyan, the other party nodded slightly, Song Zhan retracted his gaze with peace of mind, keenly aware that someone was looking at him, and when he looked over, he saw the fourth prince raising his glass to himself.
Song Zhan pursed his lips expressionlessly and looked away, for these princes, Song Zhan's principle is to stay away.
Several imperial doctors on call in the imperial hospital were directly carried to the side hall, and after a pulse diagnosis, they knelt down in the palace to reply, and the conclusion was consistent with what the imperial doctor said before, and there was no possibility of collusion between the two sides, that is, the conclusion that the third princess was drugged.
Jia Kangdi felt that the breath in his chest urgently needed to be vented at this moment, a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet almost caused a death, although Shi's stomach is male or female I don't know, but after all, it is the royal bloodline, and now someone actually dares to start in front of the royal bloodline, really think that this emperor is a benevolent monarch?!
Concubine Xian also knelt in the hall when the imperial doctors went to the hall to reply, and at this moment, looking at Emperor Jiakang, whose face was extremely ugly and silent, Concubine Xian rolled up her sleeves and began to cry, and it was extremely forbearant crying.
"Emperor, since Shi is pregnant, he has been raising the fetus in the palace with peace of mind, and the pulse case record of the imperial doctor's pulse also shows that the fetus has always been stable and strong, so today Shi wants to come to this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet that symbolizes reunion. Now that he has been drugged and assassinated, it means that this person is set in the palace, and he begs the emperor to be the master, and the three princes and concubines are the masters. ”
What Concubine Xian said is a tacit fact by everyone, but the question is who to suspect?
Of course, the third concubine is the most suspicious, especially Concubine De, the second prince and the third prince are married, and now the third prince has good news first, and everyone's eyes have fallen on the faces of Concubine De and the second prince and his wife.
Concubine De felt everyone's suspicious eyes, her face did not change, but she hated it to death in her heart, of course she wished that something would happen to the third princess, but she was not stupid enough to really do it.
The second princess couldn't help but glance at Concubine De who was just above, her eyes were full of surprise, thinking of what Concubine De said at the gate of the main hall of Cining Palace before, the second princess lowered her eyes to cover the frightened look in her eyes, could it really be the hand of the mother concubine......
"Very good, Shu's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet turned out to be the scene of some vicious people's crimes, is Shu dead?!"
The Son of Heaven is angry and floats for hundreds of miles, who is not afraid?
Everyone in the hall knelt down one after another, and they heard Emperor Jiakang's angry order to the imperial physician to strictly check the food and drink on the table of the three princes, and the imperial doctors checked the things on the table of the three princes, but they did not find anything wrong.
This conclusion made the three concubines Guifei and Xian Shuhui all breathe a sigh of relief, after all, this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is the responsibility of the four of them, if the palace banquet diet really goes wrong, no one can please them.
However, the ensuing doubts were even deeper, if there was no problem with the diet on the table, then how did the three princesses be drugged?
