The old emperor didn't know what the prescription that Concubine Yu had prepared for him was, in his own eyes, it did make him a lot more energetic, and his spirit alone was much better than in previous years.

And the so-called "medicinal soup" can't be cut off at all, otherwise it will be the most unbearable torture in the world.

"Father, do you know what that medicinal soup is made of?"

Xiang Yeqi took his nature of powerlessness to the extreme, and asked the old emperor on the spot, and said in a flash: "How could I ask so much detail, besides, I came to you today for these ...... at all."

"You want Erchen to veto the accusations against Concubine Rumor, and let Concubine Rumor Niangniang leave innocently, so that you can give Concubine Rumor Niangniang a posthumous order, is what Erchen said right?"

Xiang Yeqi said a word to break the old emperor's vague heart.

The human and physical evidence had already been presented to the old emperor, and the matter of instructing the bandits to be abducted to the night was still vague, and the blood swallow was poisoned, but all the evidence clearly pointed to the rumored concubine.

Now the blood swallow is very hard to find, and only the heavenly family can get these rare things, and the rumor's miscarriage and death prove that those blood swallows were originally given by the old emperor to the rumor's concubine.

How could he not know these truths in the meantime, but he didn't investigate, and he wanted to wait for many evidences to lose their effectiveness, sharpened Xiang Yeqi's endurance, and forced her to withdraw the charges against Concubine Xiang with Old Lady Xiang.

It's just that things changed as he expected, and Concubine Ruan actually had a miscarriage in prison!

Even the old emperor himself knew that he was not very kind about this, so he dared to admit it generously, so he had to nod with a stiff face, pretending to be confused with understanding.

"The rumor concubine is now driving the crane fairy, and it is really difficult for the retainer to continue to investigate, so as not to appear stingy ...... the retainer"

Although what Xiang Yeqi said to the old emperor did not sound so comfortable, Xiang Yeqi could be regarded as a retreat, and the old emperor allowed her to show his strength for a while.

"But if Concubine Rumor intends to poison His Majesty, Your Majesty can also let it go, and insist on posthumously crowning Concubine Niangniang as the queen?"

The old emperor's face became extremely ugly in an instant, and he was even more suspicious of what Xiang Yeqi said, and said: "Everything must pay attention to evidence. ”

It was too ridiculous for these words to come out of the old emperor's mouth, and he regarded them as evidence of non-existence.

Xiang Yeqi took a small fruit shell from Bo Zhaoxu's hand, respectfully handed it to the old emperor's hand, and said politely: "Your Majesty can feel that this thing is familiar." ”

The old emperor played with it for a long time, as if he knew it, and it was no different from the reaction of ordinary people when they saw this poppy fruit—they did not recognize anything special about this ugly little fruit.

In a trance, the old emperor smelled a wisp of familiar bitter fragrance, and when he sniffed carefully, it was the smell of the small fruit in his hand, so that he was immersed in it out of control.

It was this inconspicuous little fruit that played a role, and in an instant aroused the old emperor's dependence on the poppy medicinal soup, regardless of how dry the husk had been, he put it directly in his mouth and chewed and chewed, but he never felt the taste at that time.

The servant eunuch on the side was directly dumbfounded, and the emperor, who was still solemn and stern, began to splash up and down the dragon chair uncontrollably, as if he was grinding the edge of the chair and itching.

“……”

Xiang Yeqi's reaction to staring at the old emperor with a frown, although it was much more serious than she expected, it was indeed the symptoms of the old emperor she saw on the day she came back from Partridge Prefecture.

The guards around reacted to the seriousness of the matter, and without thinking about it carefully with their brains, they directly regarded Xiang Yeqi as the murderer behind the scenes.

Dozens of sword-wielding guards surrounded Xiang Yeqi's side, staring at Xiang Yeqi with both hatred and fear, for fear that Xiang Yeqi would turn them into the walking corpses of the old emperor.

Only when Bo Zhaoxu's expression was the same, he stood still in front of Xiang Yeqi, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"The subordinates, the subordinates want to arrest the four princesses, please don't obstruct the official affairs of the subordinates!"

is a good official business, and what he said is conclusive, but he doesn't see Bo Zhaoxu have any intention of making concessions.

"You see, that thing was eaten by His Majesty himself."

Xiang Yeqi was not afraid of these unreasonable barbarians, so he directly handed over all the poppy fruits in his hand, and said frankly: "You have the kung fu to ask me about the guilt, why don't you go to the imperial doctor to see how deep your majesty's drug addiction is." If you don't have an addiction to this thing, you won't want to look at it. ”

A group of guards, you look at me, I look at you, I have never seen this thing, hesitating, I had to follow the old emperor's example and put the poppy fruit under my nose and sniffed, except for a strange and unpleasant smell, I didn't feel anything.

Naturally, I didn't want to put this thing in my mouth.

After repeated hesitation, these people still made way for Bo Zhaoxu and Xiang Yeqi.

When the imperial physician hurriedly arrived, the old emperor was holding a half-human-high bronze incense burner and convulsing endlessly, making people unable to see what kind of illness was causing trouble, as if he was really evil.

That Imperial Doctor is the Imperial Doctor Shen who helped Xiang Yeqi a little earlier before, and he has seen it with his own eyes in terms of outstanding acting skills, how amazing his medical skills are, and it is the first time Xiang Yeqi has seen it.

As soon as he made a move, he took out seven silver needles of different lengths, and pierced them along several acupuncture points of the old emperor, and after a while, the old emperor calmed down, and the person also fell asleep, not looking like something was wrong.

The maid in charge of the palace couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Imperial Doctor Shen, what's wrong with Your Majesty?" Is it an evil wind? Still, it's something unclean......"

There was an uproar all around, all kinds of discussions continued, and if it couldn't be controlled for a while, it became more and more evil.

"Nonsense, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is nothing unclean."

Imperial Physician Shen is saving the life of this maid in charge, which means that everyone has incurred unclean things, and they can't speculate about the emperor anything, otherwise they will be charged with losing their heads.

After the people around him barely leveled down, Imperial Physician Shen expressed his opinion: "Someone did something in His Majesty's food, so that His Majesty became addicted to poppies, but there was no way to come out, and in the past two days, Your Majesty will also commit drug addiction again, and make a lot of trouble." ”

Xiang Ye's speech at this time was quite dangerous, so Bo Zhaoxu stopped her from opening her mouth and relayed on her behalf: "This poppy fruit is mostly medicinal, and the palace has always controlled it. ”

As long as you are willing to investigate, it will be easy to find out who is behind the scenes.

The maid in charge didn't figure out the deep meaning of the words for a while, lest she misunderstand which palace lady again, so she only reminded kindly: "Lord Wang, the hospital can check these are true, but the ladies in the palace are sometimes a little sick, and sometimes they will go to the hospital to ask for a few poppies to boil water to drink, if you misunderstand which lady it is, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

"You also know that this poppy can usually be used as medicine, so why haven't others been addicted to this thing?"

Xiang Ye's words saved Imperial Physician Shen the time to popularize common sense for a few people: "It is extremely normal for ordinary people to use one or two pills for treatment, but if you want to become addicted like Your Majesty, you not only have to take it several times as a medicinal soup, but I am afraid that someone will also do it in the things you usually eat." ”

"How is this possible?"

The maid in charge had an expression of disbelief, and insisted on her thoughts vigorously: "The fourth princess doesn't live in the palace on weekdays, how can she talk such nonsense and slander the innocence of the palace people?" The things that His Majesty imported were all inspected by the slaves and maids themselves, and if there was really anything wrong with the dishes, the slaves and maids would not be able to see it? ”

Xiang Yeqi is also a person standing in place, a plain pot.

Just because she said that she had been manipulated in this meal, she offended the interests of the maid in charge. To say that someone has tampered with this food is equivalent to saying that they are not doing things well.

"This king and the princess are deliberating, when will it be your turn to refute?"

Bo Zhaoxu couldn't stand this servant and tore it apart from Xiang Ye's "good bully", so he taught Xiang Yeqi a lesson and quieted the servant.

"You can manage the food sent by the imperial dining room, and you can also know everything about the food that Your Majesty uses in the kitchenette of other people's palaces?"

How is this possible.

The female officials in charge of each palace are different, and after all, they perform their own duties.

The maid in charge was completely speechless, and stood aside to obey the order.

"The fourth princess is right." Imperial Physician Shen slowed down a few beats before he remembered to reply, and stroked his beard thoughtfully: "Your Majesty's heavy drug addiction is definitely not something that can be accumulated in one or two days. The ability to humble himself was limited, so he asked the prince to send someone to ask for the classics to find out which lady had taken so many poppies. ”

In fact, things have come to this point, even a little palace maid also has the right to call the Tai Hospital Classics to verify who took so many poppies.

The reason why Bo Zhaoxu was allowed to make a move was because the bigger the trouble, the better.

Xiang Yeqi wants everyone to know that she will not let anyone who makes a move on her or Bo Zhaoxu.

Whether it is a real death or a fraudulent death, Xiang Yeqi wants to let the "rumor concubine" go to Guanrao, and there is no chance to turn over.

The classics of the Tai Hospital have not yet been invited, and there are many palace people sent by various palaces to inquire about the news outside the palace.

After a while, the classics of the Tai Hospital were brought over.

This little book looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and the palace maids who followed behind him were holding a stack of books that were stacked faster than others.

"I've seen you all over the world."

The little classic ordered someone to put the account book on the ground, and he stood on tiptoe to rummage through the important contents: "Lord Yu, all palace maidens have a record of sending people to ask for poppy fruits, but the most begging is the rumor concubine Niangniang, in a month, a total of 174 ......"
