Chapter 336: Poisoning

Soon, Li Chuxia was called in the palace, and after she entered the palace, she made vegetables and vegetables according to the instructions, behaved in a proper manner, did not exceed the half-point, nor was she arrogant, and did her duty as a "chef".

I don't know if it's because Baili Yunzheng is a little bit of geography from it, Li Chuxia didn't get harassed by anyone, but everyone was kind to her. Moreover, whether it is Central Plains cuisine or Northern Xinjiang cuisine, Li Chuxia can make it, and the taste has received unanimous praise from the masters in the palace.

Li Chuxia wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, put the last dish on the plate, and said to the palace maid who was already waiting next to him, "These dishes can be served, be careful not to spill them when you serve them." ”

The palace maid nodded, put the plate in the food box with her hands and feet, and sent it to the imperial garden.

The weather is good today, and all the concubines have gathered in the imperial garden to talk about the interesting things that have happened in their respective palaces recently, and Li Chuxia got Lang Yue's order to let her make some refreshing snacks for the concubines to satisfy their hunger.

Lang Yue has been favored in recent days, so the concubines are all openly and secretly flattering her, and they are surrounded by the main seat to sit, and some of the concubines who are dissatisfied with Lang Yue, they have a lot of anger in their hearts, but because of Lang Yue's status in northern Xinjiang, they can't show it on their faces.

"Oh, I've been waiting for so long and it's finally here," Lang Yue saw the food box in the palace maid's hand sharply, and hurriedly beckoned to the concubines around her, "Come, sisters, come and try the craftsmanship of our chef." ”

"This chef is not small, and I also begged His Majesty for a long time to invite her here."

Lang Yue smiled, and two or three sentences not only showed Emperor Mingde's favor for her, but also secretly said that Li Chuxia had a big shelf, and even the emperor had to invite three or four times before coming.

"Now who in the palace doesn't know that the emperor likes the imperial concubine's sister, I see, even if my sister wants the moon in the sky, the emperor will find a way to pick it for my sister."

The concubine sitting next to Lang Yue covered her mouth and smiled, these words made Lang Yue very comfortable, and she secretly wrote down the name of this concubine in her heart.

"Let's stop talking, let's try the craft first." Lang Yue first picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Seeing this, the concubines also started one after another, picking their favorite food.

"Gross-"

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and Concubine Yan, that is, Yan Ruoxi, who had re-appealed to Emperor Mingde because of her good performance, spit out all the dim sum she had just eaten.

The concubines were afraid of getting dirty, so they all jumped to the other side, only Lang Yue's face was the same as before, as if she had expected all this a long time ago.

After Yan Ruoxi finished vomiting, before anyone could stand up, his eyes turned black and he fell down.

"Someone! Someone! Call the Imperial Doctor! ”

The concubines screamed when they saw that people had fainted, remembering what they had just eaten, and they all lay on the ground to induce vomiting, lest they become the next Yan concubine.

Lang Yue asked the concubines to be sent back to their respective palaces, and then asked people to invite Emperor Mingde over. Recently, Yan Ruoxi is also in the limelight, and the emperor's beloved concubine has been poisoned like this, so it is reasonable for the emperor to come up and uphold justice.

"Imperial Doctor, what's wrong with Concubine Yan?" Lang Yue asked pretending to be concerned, the eagerness and worry on her face couldn't tell that she was fake.

As soon as the imperial doctor's eyelids lifted, he had been immersed in the palace for most of his life, and he quickly figured out the twists and turns.

"Back to the emperor, the imperial concubine, Concubine Yan Niangniang has eaten something that shouldn't be eaten, and she has food poisoning."

"What!" Lang Yue exclaimed.

"In the afternoon, I made an appointment with my sisters in the palace to have a tea party, and the dim sum was specially prepared by the people in the imperial dining room, how could I get food poisoning?"

The Imperial Doctor arched his hand and said: "This poison is very domineering, and it only needs to take a small dose to make people fall into a coma quickly. ”

Lang Yue turned from worry to anger, and complained to Emperor Mingde, "Your Majesty, this snack was made by the concubine Li Chuxia, she must have wanted to kill the concubine, but she accidentally let Concubine Yan eat it." ”

Emperor Mingde's face was not good, after Li Chuxia bumped into him a few times, he only had dissatisfaction with Li Chuxia in his heart, and that trace of love was about to disappear.

"Your Majesty! Today, Li Chuxia can poison his concubines, and tomorrow maybe it will be you, the emperor! Lang Yue's voice was already sharp, but now it is even more harsh.

But Emperor Mingde apparently listened to these words.

"Here, Li Chuxia will be imprisoned in the prison and interrogated at a later date."

A smug gesture appeared in Lang Yue's eyes, she was about to be able to ruin Li Chuxia.

"Wait!"

An abrupt voice appeared in the hall, and Baili Yunzheng wiped off the makeup used to camouflage the painting, revealing his true face and standing in front of Emperor Mingde.

Emperor Mingde's body stiffened for a moment after hearing this voice, but he was quickly carried away by anger.

"Hundred miles of clouds! How did you end up here? Emperor Mingde said through gritted teeth.

Baili Yunzheng straightened his waist, looked at Emperor Mingde with his eyes like a torch, and the whole person was not angry and arrogant, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were trembling under this powerful aura.

Emperor Mingde stared at Baili Yunzheng, eager to pierce a few holes in the other party's body with his eye knife.

"You want to save Li Chuxia?" Emperor Mingde's tone was strange, he originally wanted to let people go after being locked up for a while, but now a strange thought actually rose in his heart, wanting to completely destroy Li Chuxia, "Now that the evidence is conclusive, if you want to save her, you might as well think about how to collect a whole corpse for her." ”

Baili Yunzheng twisted his eyebrows, he didn't expect Emperor Mingde to be so mediocre.

"You have convicted others based on the words of the Imperial Doctor and Lang Yue, heh, it's no wonder that the society is in chaos like this now."

Emperor Mingde was annoyed and angry, "What about my country, it's not your turn to take care of it!" ”

Baili Yunzheng's eyes gently swept over Emperor Mingde, "I naturally have no right to ask, but I just suffered the people to make a living under an unreasonable person like the emperor." ”

"Shut up! You are so bold that you dare to blame the emperor! "Lang Yue has long been at odds with Baili Yunzheng, and after a change of mind, it is better to take this opportunity to send Baili Yunzheng to the prison as well, and see how they will turn the tables when the time comes.

"It's you who should shut up." Baili Yunzheng is magnificent, how can a delicate woman like Lang Yue withstand it.

Emperor Mingde had already sobered up under Baili Yunzheng's questioning, and even a trace of weakness of emotion came to his heart, making him a little afraid to face the other party again.

"Ahem, what do you think you should do?" Emperor Mingde asked.

"Please give me some time to solve the case, and return my innocence in early summer." Baili Yunzheng expressed his demands.

Emperor Mingde had already said it just now, and he couldn't go back, so he could only agree, "But during the investigation, Li Chuxia will still be detained in prison." ”

Lang Yue's plan was not achieved, and she was full of resentment towards Baili Yunzheng in her heart, but she would not let Li Chuxia have a better time.

After returning to the palace, Lang Yue immediately ordered someone to explain to the people in prison not to be polite to Li Chuxia, as long as they didn't beat him to death, they could beat him no matter how he wanted.

Baili Yunzheng knew that it was urgent to investigate the case, so he first went to find the old lady doctor who treated Yan Ruoxi.

The imperial doctor is also a person with a temperament, he has witnessed almost all the scars on Baili Yunzheng's body, and his attitude towards Baili Yunzheng is much more sincere than that of Emperor Mingde.

Baili Yunzheng only asked a few words, and the imperial doctor knew everything, telling Baili Yunzheng that in fact, Concubine Yan fell into a coma because she ate Xiangke's food, and the dim sum made by Li Chuxia was just used by someone with a heart.

The imperial doctor also secretly checked it, Yan Ruoxi had a cup of tea in front of him at that time, which was specially made by the imperial concubine, and it was estimated that the food that matched the dim sum was in the tea.

Baili Yunzheng was very efficient, and he found Emperor Mingde after the next morning, and asked people to call Lang Yue over.

Emperor Mingde lowered his eyes, wiped away the impatience in his eyes, and asked, "But have you checked it out all night?" ”

Baili Yunzheng snorted coldly, "That's nature, how can I rest assured that I can leave the early summer alone in the prison where I cannibalize people without blinking." ”

"Alright, let's talk about the results you found." Emperor Mingde pinched the bridge of his nose, he felt more and more irritable recently, just talking to Baili Yunzheng, and the irritability in his heart surged again.

Lang Yue tightened her handkerchief on the side, extremely nervous, but after thinking about it, it was impossible for Baili Yunzheng to find out the truth, and she became proud again.

Baili Yunzheng didn't let go of Lang Yue's expression change, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he was afraid that the other party would have a backhand.

But now that the arrow is on the line, he can only put out the evidence he has obtained, "Concubine Yan's coma is not because she was poisoned in early summer, but because of food poisoning, this is the tea that Concubine Yan drank yesterday, and this is the pastry made in early summer yesterday." ”

Baili Yunzheng took out the two things, "This tea was personally made for Concubine Yan by the Imperial Concubine, dare to ask the Imperial Concubine, why did you make this tea for Concubine Yan alone?" ”

Lang Yue panicked suddenly, her eyes looked unnaturally, but she still said stiffly, "This is Concubine Yan's favorite tea, she only drinks this every time, this is something everyone knows." ”

Baili Yunzheng stood still, "Of course you know that this is something that everyone knows, so it is convenient for you to use this matter to poison." ”

Lang Yue pinched her thighs violently, tears fell out, and she immediately pounced on Emperor Mingde, with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, the concubines have never thought of it like this, the concubines just want to make each sister feel comfortable, so as to take care of their preferences." ”

Emperor Mingde patted Lang Yue's hand, signaled her to be calm, raised his head and said to Baili Yunzheng, "You also heard, Lang Yue didn't mean it." ”

"Then Li Chuxia deserves to be wronged!" Baili Yunzheng's voice was extremely low, and those who knew him well knew that this was a precursor to his anger.

"Someone, bring the palace maid who followed Emperor Lang's concubine yesterday and kill her with a cane."

Emperor Mingde waved his hand and said casually.

"That's it? Cover up your mistakes with a human life? Baili Yunzheng's indescribable disappointment, once upon a time, although Emperor Mingde could not be called a good monarch, he would not kill innocents as indiscriminately as he does now.

Baili Yunzheng knew that he couldn't persuade Emperor Mingde to return now, so he left a good sentence and went to the prison to pick up Li Chuxia in person.

Seeing the whip marks on Li Chuxia's body, Baili Yunzheng only hated that he couldn't be rescued earlier, and his disappointment and resentment towards Emperor Mingde deepened.

Emperor Mingde, who was in the secluded and deep palace, suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and a chill swept through his body.
