Chapter 351: The Imperial Physician is poisoned
Hua Qiao was stunned: Could it be that the death of the second princess was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster?
There were many people in Kunning Palace, but it was silent.
Hua Qiao walked over and saw that the emperor was sitting at the table, and the queen, Sun Guifei, and the attendants and maids of the two palaces were kneeling on the ground. What made her strange was that the eldest princess of Jiaxing was actually standing behind the emperor.
The two imperial doctors should have reported their conclusions to the emperor, and the air in the palace was extremely strange.
The emperor glanced at Hua Qiao, but did not speak, his anger was not finished, and he wanted to scold when he opened his mouth.
Zhang Yue stood by the curtain of the inner hall, saw the buckwheat come in, and glanced at the buckwheat.
Hua Qiao gave the emperor a blessing gift, and walked in. The emperor looked at her back thoughtfully.
No one noticed that the queen took advantage of wiping her tears and gestured to Peach Blossom who was kneeling behind her, and Peach Blossom hurriedly stood up and followed Buckwheat inside.
The little second princess was lying quietly on the bed, and she had changed into a princess's dress, which was similar to that of an adult, and she really had the appearance of a princess at this time.
Hua Qiao was stunned, as if there was a hallucination in front of her, and the one lying on the bed was clearly her own when she was a child.
"The imperial doctor checked it in the imperial garden and said that the second princess was poisoned and died. Now he has been transferred to the Criminal Department. ”
Zhang Yue explained to Hua Qiao in a low voice, and was about to say something else, when he saw that the peach blossom who came in hung his head and stood by the bed, he stopped again.
Hua Qiao glanced at the peach blossom, her face drooping, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but her hands stacked on her lower abdomen were holding hard, as if trying to control the ...... Shiver?
"Peach Blossom, when did the second princess die?"
"Back to the eldest princess, it's Shen Zheng. The queen took the two princesses to the imperial garden to play, and met ...... met Sun Guifei and the third princess, and later, not long after, the second ...... The second princess was poisoned, and we waited for the imperial doctor in the imperial garden, but before the imperial doctor arrived, the second princess ......"
Hua Qiao and Zhang Yue glanced at each other, Zhang Yue also had "I don't believe" written on her face, she turned around and went to the outer hall.
"Brother Huang, please agree that Hua Qiao will check the body of the second princess together with the two princesses."
Zhu Zhanji had already thought of it when he saw the buckwheat go in just now. He nodded slightly, and agreed to Hua Qiao's request.
Hua Qiao looked at Xiao Gao who was standing by the temple gate, Xiao Gao understood, turned around and went out.
Sun Rou's eyes were a little more hopeful, and she looked at the emperor gratefully. Because the third princess was small, she fell asleep after playing for a while, and she left the imperial garden before the queen.
As soon as I returned to the palace and watched the third princess sleep, I suddenly heard that she went to Kunning Palace, saying that the second princess ate their pastries and was poisoned to death!
"Impossible! The pastries that the second princess ate were taken from the hands of the third princess, and the third princess was also eating, could it be that I was going to kill my own children together? ”
said that their dim sum was poisonous, and Sun Rou didn't believe it.
Today, the emperor and several cabinet ministers were late, and they were eating refreshments from the imperial dining room in the Wuying Palace, when suddenly a waiter came to invite him in a panic, saying that the second princess was gone.
He was taken aback and ran towards Kunning Palace.
It turned out that this afternoon, the queen and the eldest princess of Jiaxing took Xiang'er and Yue'er to play in the imperial garden, and just happened to meet Sun Guifei and the third princess Ning'er, who were also in the imperial garden.
Yue'er saw that Ning'er was eating snacks, she wanted to eat it too, but she didn't listen to any persuasion, and the queen scolded her.
Sun Guifei asked Ning'er to take a piece to Sister Yue'er, and when she wanted to give it to Sister Xiang'er, Xiang'er was stopped by the queen, so she didn't reach out to pick it up.
Just such a piece of pea yellow made the second princess die of poisoning.
It's just that Sun Guifei wants to be pampered and pampered, and she already has a third princess, what reason does she have to poison the second princess?
Of course, the queen knew what the emperor thought, and she said with tears in her eyes:
"Does the concubine have a reason to frame Sun Guifei by poisoning her own daughter? The concubine is the mother of a country, the humane tiger poison does not eat the child, how can the concubine not even be as good as a beast? ”
When she said this, the emperor still believed it, they were all princesses, so why did she have to pay for this harmless life?
When Xiao Gao came in with the tools of the buckwheat, the work of the criminal department also arrived.
Zhang Yue led the work and entered the inner hall with the buckwheat.
It was an old man in his forties, and the order in which he checked was similar to Hua Youcai. He first took out a silver needle, inserted it into the throat of the second princess, poured out a small half cup of vinegar, and asked the scribe to heat it for him.
While waiting for the vinegar, he began to examine the head of the second princess. It soon became clear that on the back of the second princess's head, there was an obvious blow wound.
Peeling the hair away, bruises are clearly visible on the scalp.
"This has been explained to the emperor just now, when Anzi came back with the second princess in his arms, he accidentally tripped over a stone, and he and the second princess fell to the ground, and everyone saw it with their own eyes. Because of this, the emperor has already ...... Anzi just now The rod was killed. ”
Peach Blossom explained in a whisper.
"That is, poisoning in the front and wrestling in the back?" The servant asked, he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.
Hua Qiao also bent down to look at the bruise, and said, "If a person has just died, the blood in the blood around her has not yet coagulated, and it is possible to cause scars." ”
He listened, nodded, took the hot vinegar handed over by the scribe, scrubbed it from his chest upwards, and there seemed to be gas coming out of his mouth in the corpse.
"This poison is arsenic, which is very common in the palace and among the people. The cause of death of the second princess may be caused by poisoning, and the second may be caused by an external blow, but the poisoning is in the front and the blow is in the back, so the small one agrees with the judgment of the imperial doctor, and the second princess died of poisoning. ”
The emperor pointed expressionlessly at the half piece of pea on the table, and said, "Test." ”
He took the handkerchief, sniffed it first, then examined it with a silver needle for a moment, and nodded:
"There is arsenic in this pea yellow, which is similar to the test in the throat of the second princess."
When the queen heard this, she lost no time in hiding her face and weeping.
The emperor looked up at Hua Buckwheat, who was standing behind the crowd, and Hua Buckwheat shook his head.
Even the buckwheat had no objections, and the emperor sighed helplessly:
"Concubine Sun, you can't get out of this matter, I miss that the third princess is young, so I will temporarily suspend you in Yikun Palace, and wait until Dali Temple verifies that it is correct, and I will punish you for your crimes."
Sun Guifei had already seen the emperor's eyes asking Hua Qiao, she believed that the emperor and Hua Qiao would give themselves a fair, but the results of the autopsy had not changed, and she was also desperate.
Hua Qiao and Jiaxing followed the emperor out of Kunning Palace, and Hua Qiao quickly caught up with the emperor and said:
"Brother Huang, since you have to wait for the verification of Dali Temple, please protect the body of the second princess and don't disturb her with rats and ants."
The emperor nodded, Xiao Yan clenched his fists, turned around and went back to Kunning Palace.
This night, I don't know how many people in the harem were sleepless. The north wind slapped the window lattice hard, and the lantern under the porch was also blown to the ground. I'm afraid it's going to snow.
Xiao Gao commanded the attendants, fixed the places that were easy to loosen outside, and stood silently outside the buckwheat house.
"Happy, you go back and rest, there are black beans in the house to accompany me, I'm fine."
There was the sound of buckwheat in the window.
"Hmm."
Xiao Gao answered, but stood still.
He knew that Hua Qiao was upset, and he obviously felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find evidence.
Unless......
Autopsy.
