Chapter 50: The Great Gossip

"Since there is no problem with the diet of the three princesses, then you should tell me how the three princesses were drugged, huh?"

The imperial physicians knelt down again in the rising tone of Jiakangdi, and one by one they shrank like quails, and no one dared to answer Jiakangdi's questions.

Jia Kangdi looked at a large number of people who knelt down, and he was angry, these people were usually jumping and happy one by one, and when they encountered something, they didn't speak except for kneeling, that is, they were full of incompetence and guilt.

Jiakangdi was angry, of course, he had to find out the gas bag, the duty of the imperial doctors was not to investigate the case, but the criminal department was, when Jiakangdi's cold gaze was focused on the criminal department Shangshu in the crowd, poor Yan Shangshu felt a chill down his spine.

"Yan Aiqing is the best at investigating cases, can you tell me when and where the third princess was drugged by whom?"

Yan Shangshu, who was named, pressed his body even lower, his face drooped to the ground, his facial features wrinkled together, and his expression was extremely headache, but the backs of the other Shangshu kneeling beside him were loosened, and they all cast gloating and sympathetic glances at Yan Shangshu.

Several people invariably sighed in their hearts: Lao Yan, Lao Yan, I wish you good luck.

"Yan Aiqing?!"

"The minister is here, Weichen has nothing to do with the three princesses, when and where were the three princesses poisoned by whom, Weichen thinks it's best to wait for the three princesses to wake up and ask her personally, and she may find some clues."

"You mean, everyone in the hall has to kneel like this until the third princess wakes up?! It's okay, then your New Year's Keeper will be with me in the Taihe Palace. ”

After Emperor Jiakang finished speaking, he saw that the kneeling people in the hall moved uneasily.

Originally, I was looking forward to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace to cope with the good situation and go back to the family to celebrate the New Year with a lively reunion, and who can be happy to be left in the palace or kneel down for a long time?

Yan Shangshu felt the critical attack in the eyes of several colleagues around him, and his mouth was bitter, but he also knew that it would definitely not work if he didn't say anything, so he could only stand up and reply.

"It must be best for the third princess to wake up and reply in person, but Weichen thinks that if you ask the personal maid of the third princess first, you should be able to find some clues."

"Yes, the case of the third princess will be handed over to Yan Aiqing, Yan Aiqing doesn't have to worry, what I have is patience." Jia Kangdi picked up the wine glass with a relaxed face, looked at the clear wine in the glass, and glanced at everyone kneeling in the hall, "Everyone get up and sit down, I have worked hard for you to accompany me and wait for Yan Aiqing to find out the results." ”

Everyone kowtowed again, and after some tossing, they got up and sat back in their places, watching the personal maid of the third princess being brought to the palace, Yan Shangshu stood up and began to ask.

"After the third princess is pregnant, how is the diet in the house?"

"If you go back to your lordship, there will be a special person to serve the food and drink in the house, and there will be no problem."

"What did the third prince and concubine eat today in addition to what she ate at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet?"

"The things that the three princesses ate in the palace before entering the palace are all habitually eaten, and there is no problem for the slaves and maids to dare to guarantee it."

"What new things have the three princesses come into contact with? Can a stranger get close? ”

"Something new...... Stranger ......"

"Think about it, after the three princesses entered the palace, they thought about it carefully, and if there was anything unusual, they would say it, and the official would judge that there was an emperor, and you could say it boldly."

When the personal maid heard the last sentence, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes raised slightly to sweep the people in the hall, and finally bowed down.

"After the third princess entered the palace, she went to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, and then came to the Taihe Palace, and not long after sitting down, she covered her stomach and said that her stomach hurt, and then she fainted in pain......"

"Bold!"

Li Zhong shook off the dust, looked at Emperor Jiakang's suddenly cruel eyes, and immediately reprimanded the slave who replied, causing the other party's body to tremble, and also attracting Yan Shangshu's dissatisfied eyes.

"The Emperor's ......"

"Go on, no one is allowed to disturb Yan Shangshu's investigation of the case."

Yan Shangshu received Jiakangdi's assurance, folded his hands and continued to look at the maid kneeling on the ground, asking questions.

"According to what you say, it is very likely that the third princess was drugged when she was in Cining Palace, so what can you tell me about what the three princesses came into contact with in Cining Palace?"

Yan Shangshu's question was very polite, every word was related to the reputation of the Empress Dowager of the Dynasty, but Emperor Jiakang spoke, Yan Shangshu was fearless in order to go home early and his wife and children were hot on the kang, Xu was infected by Yan Shangshu's courage, and the maid's body was no longer shaking, and the reply was calmer.

"Since the third princess was pregnant, she has been very careful and cautious in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and today in Cining Palace, tea and snacks have not been used, but they are just ...... Just ......"

"Just what? Quickly and truthfully. ”

Yan Shangshu had a hunch that the truth was right in front of him, and he would be able to leave the palace and go home immediately.

The maid raised her head hesitantly, glanced at the person sitting on the high platform, her eyes were full of fear, Jia Kangdi narrowed her eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"I forgive you for your innocence, if you return to Yan Shangshu's words, if you hide it, you will not be spared!"

"Yes. The slave did not dare to hide it. The three princesses, the three princesses have only drunk Princess Huai's milk tea. ”

"You...... What are you implying about?! ”

When the words fell, Princess Huai had already asked in a panic, when the maid hesitated, she had already realized that something was wrong, she didn't know what the three princesses had eaten and drunk in Cining Palace, but the milk tea was personally asked for by the three princesses in front of so many people.

Princess Huai's intestines are repentant at the moment, and today she brought milk tea into the palace to offer it to the Queen Mother, just out of selfishness, who knew that she would be involved in such a thing.

Tong Qingyan looked at the panicked Princess Huai, and shook her head secretly, she is not a murderer at first glance with this psychological quality, but the person behind the scenes is also powerful, and she dares to use Princess Huai's head to provoke Song Zhan so directly, not afraid of being counter-generalized?

Princess Huai felt that she had been pierced with several holes in her body, and her heart couldn't be colder anymore, she was usually as far away from this palace as she was, and only this kind of banquet that had to come forward came to the palace, how could she be so unlucky?

Once a person is in adversity, or even a desperate situation, he will try his best to find a life-saving straw, even if he doesn't, he has to pull other people into the water, where can he take care of others at this moment, he must first ensure his own safety, and at this moment, Princess Huai thought that the first person to be pulled into the water was Tong Qingyan.

"The emperor is clear, the courtiers are absolutely harmless to the minds of the three princesses, if you want to say that this milk tea is also the three princesses themselves want to drink, the courtiers can't predict it in advance."

"What Princess Huai said is true? You are the personal maid of the Three Princesses, and you should know the eating habits of the Three Princesses. ”

Jia Kangdi looked at the maid kneeling in the center of the hall with heavy eyes, this matter not only involved the queen mother, but also involved Princess Huai, Jia Kangdi asked the maid's words, but his eyes looked at Song Zhan, and he saw Song Zhan looking like he had nothing to do with himself, and took a sip of wine, and suddenly felt at ease.

"If you go back to the emperor, the three princesses are in good condition, and they don't have much to worry about their diet, but they dislike the fishy smell of milk tea in the house, and complain that it is difficult to drink a few times. Today, the milk tea brought by Princess Huai is sweet and has no fishy smell, and the third princess opened her mouth to drink it. ”

It is not uncommon for people in the capital to drink milk tea when it is cold, but it is also rare to say that milk tea can be boiled without a fishy smell, and it is no wonder that the three princesses will take the initiative to drink it.

The maid's words were all true, but they also woke up Princess Huai, yes, this milk tea recipe is not her own, as long as you leave off the relationship between yourself and milk tea, you can finally clear your suspicion.

Tong Qingyan's eyes and Princess Huai were facing each other in the air, and when she saw Princess Huai's eyes lit up, she knew that she was going to be unlucky again, and sure enough, the next second Princess Huai excitedly stretched out her hand and pointed at herself.

"It's her, the courtiers are being used, it's all her!"

Everyone followed Princess Huai's fingers to look at Tong Qingyan, then at Princess Huai, who could not hide her excitement and joy, and finally at Song Zhan, the son of King Huai, who was rumored to be fiercely pursuing the lord of Yanyang County, and suddenly felt that tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was still the right one, this is going to be a big gossip!
