Chapter 416: Poisoning
At this time, Lin Kite slowly walked back to the palace where he was staying, and saw several exquisite wooden boxes stacked in the hall at the entrance of the dormitory in the palace, and the wooden boxes were covered with brocade, so that people could not see what was inside.
When the maidservants in the palace saw Lin Kite walking in, they all came over to greet her, with a smile of honor on their faces.
"What's that?" Lin Yuan looked at the palace maids who were particularly enthusiastic today in surprise, and asked.
"Miss Huilin, this is the winter coat that the people from the Internal Affairs Office just sent me, and I said that the emperor specially rewarded you." A clever little maid stepped forward and said, as she spoke, she walked over to the wooden box, and reached out to lift the brocade that covered it.
Lin Kite approached and saw that the wooden box was neatly stacked with various winter clothes, and the delicacy of those winter clothes could be seen just by sweeping it away.
The clothes were sewn from precious fabrics, and the collar was made of fox fur, which looked oily and slippery, and you could guess that it must have been extremely comfortable and warm without touching it, and some of the plackets were embroidered with gold and silver threads supplemented by silk embroidered with colorful flowers, and some were ingeniously embellished with precious jade decorations such as pearls and gemstones.
The palace maids were attracted by the gorgeous clothes in front of them, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, now the craftsmanship of the Shangyi Bureau is really exquisite, and they have never seen such exquisite and gorgeous winter clothes in the palace for so many years.
"Miss Lin, the emperor is really too attentive to you, but it is really difficult for the Shangyi Bureau to make such a beautiful and warm winter coat, you must look good in it." Lin Kite has always been easy-going, and the maids around her talk casually, while talking, the maid picked up a winter coat and showed it to Lin Kite.
"Do you like it?" Lin Kite's face was calm, and she glanced at the maid who compared her clothes to herself, and spoke.
"How can a slave have such a blessing, the material of this winter coat is rare, warm but not bloated, girl, you must be glamorous when you wear it."
"I'm not used to wearing such bright clothes, so I'll reward you with these." Lin Yuan looked at the clothes, and then pointed to the wooden box near the direction of the dormitory.
"How dare the slave wear the winter clothes specially given to you by the emperor?" Those maids couldn't see through Lin Kite's mind for a while, and said subconsciously.
"I can't wear so much, you can take it and divide it."
Lin Kite ordered directly, and when he saw this, the maids stepped forward happily and divided the clothes that Lin Kite pointed to one by one, some of the palace maids couldn't help rubbing the texture of the clothes with their hands, and some couldn't wait to change the winter clothes.
After dinner in the evening, Lin Yuan planned to bathe, so she ordered someone to carry hot water, but she found that the huge palace was quiet and there was no one.
Where have all the people gone? Lin Yuan was puzzled in his heart, and walked towards the ear room where the people lived.
Pushing open the door of the ear room, Lin Yuan saw that the palace maids were lying on the bed one by one, some of them had closed their eyes tightly and had fallen into a coma, and some were lying there with flushed faces and moaning constantly, looking very uncomfortable.
Lin Yuan walked forward quickly, her hand touched the bodies of those palace maids, and found that their bodies were hot, as if they had a high fever. Lin Yuan was anxious, she hurriedly walked to the palace gate and summoned the chamberlain.
"The palace people have a high fever, go to the Tai Hospital to find the Tai Doctor."
After receiving the order, the chamberlain hurriedly ran to the Tai Hospital, and soon after, a physician hurried to the palace where Lin Yuan lived with the chamberlain.
An experienced old lady doctor from the Tai Hospital who came to the palace maid muttered for a while after taking the pulse, and only prescribed some mung bean water.
"Doctor, what the hell is going on? Why do they suddenly have a high fever? Lin Yuan saw that the imperial doctor only prescribed some mung bean water, and she asked in surprise.
"These palace maids seem to have come into contact with something unclean to cause the acute high fever to not go away, the old minister opened this mung bean water to clear heat and detoxify after taking it internally, presumably they will soon have a fever after taking it." After the imperial doctor explained clearly, he turned around and left.
Lin Yuan ordered the palace maids to take mung bean soup, and those with mild symptoms quickly subsided and regained their senses, while those with more severe symptoms gradually returned to normal after vomiting a few times, but their stomachs were a little weak.
In the process of taking care of her, Lin Kite noticed a trace of abnormality.
The palace maids who couldn't wait to put on winter clothes this afternoon had a more serious fever, while the symptoms of those who didn't wear winter clothes were mild, and the attendants didn't come into contact with winter clothes, so no one got sick.
Obviously, it was the problem with the winter clothes that caused the palace maids who came into contact with the winter clothes to have a high fever, and these winter clothes were originally sent to Lin Kite to wear, and it was obvious that someone who did something to the winter clothes was going to Lin Kite.
It's just that Lin Kite didn't wear these clothes, but gave a part of them to the palace maids, and the palace maids came into contact with unclean things after wearing these clothes, so the high fever caused by them did not go away.
Lin Yuan fell into deep thought, she first ruled out the possibility of the new emperor, the new emperor was very clear about her heart, the new emperor would not do this.
And even if the new emperor wants to deal with her, he will not use this method, after all, now that Lin Yuan is in his hands, he is not doing whatever he wants, and there is no need to use these inferior means to deal with him.
So who is going to harm you? Lin Yuan was puzzled, she thought that since the problem appeared in the winter clothes rewarded by the new emperor, it seemed that everything had to be found from the winter clothes.
The next day, after the palace maids had almost recovered, Lin Kite called a palace maid he was more familiar with.
"Who sent those winter clothes rewarded by the emperor, are you familiar with them?" Lin Yuan looked at the palace maid who was still a little pale and asked.
"It was brought by Xiao Xiazi, a new person from the Internal Affairs Bureau, and although Xiao Xiazi entered the palace not long ago, he was very trusted by the head of the Internal Affairs Office."
The palace maid didn't understand the purpose of Lin Kite's question, she thought for a moment and replied.
"Okay, I know, you go back and recuperate."
Lin Yuan sent the palace maid, and then came to the Internal Affairs Office to inquire about the origin of Xiao Xiazi, and finally found Concubine Jiang's head.
Find out what Lin Kite is not clear about here, it must be that Concubine Jiang is jealous of the new emperor's intentions for herself, so she ordered someone to move her hands and feet in the clothes, as for her purpose, it is also obvious, obviously she doesn't want Lin Kite to follow the new emperor to hunt in the royal paddock, so she took that medicine.
Stupid woman!
Previously, Concubine Jiang provoked several times, Lin Yuan thought that she was also an infatuated person, and Concubine Jiang did not cause any substantial harm to her, so Lin Yuan didn't bother with her, but this time because she was jealous for a while and almost endangered the lives of others, Lin Yuan was a little angry in her heart, and she decided to repay the favor in her own way and teach Concubine Jiang a lesson.
In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Yuan sorted out the clothes that had been passive, and then sent a palace maid to send them to Concubine Jiang.
"You send it directly to Concubine Jiang, if she asks, you say that you will follow the instructions from above to send it over, and you don't know anything else."
Lin Yuan specially called a new palace maid in her palace, she was a new person in the palace, except for the people around Lin Yuan, no one else knew where this palace maid came from.
"Yes, Miss Lin."
The palace maid didn't know why, so she sent those winter clothes to Concubine Jiang as she said.
"Concubine Jiang, the upper side sent a slave to come and deliver these clothes to you."
The palace maid sent by Lin Yuan said respectfully to Concubine Jiang, then put down the wooden box in her hand and turned to leave.
Concubine Jiang curiously stepped forward and lifted the brocade on the top of the wooden box, only to see that the winter coat inside was decorated with pearls and jade, which looked very similar to the one that the new emperor had sent to Lin Yuan before.
"This palace knows that the emperor is still thinking about this palace in his heart."
Looking at the exquisite costumes in front of her, Concubine Jiang did not doubt him, and a surprised expression flashed on her face. Then she picked up a piece of pearl-covered garment and tried it on.
This is a coupling color winter coat, this color is noble, the placket is decorated with fine white pearls, lined with Jiang Fei graceful and luxurious, she can't put down this dress, after wearing it, she can't help but stand in front of the bronze mirror to take a picture, with a sweet expression on her face.
It didn't take long for Concubine Jiang to feel hot all over her body, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this clothing is really special, as soon as she wears it, she feels hot all over her body, if she wears it in the cold winter, it must be very warm.
"Mother, your face." The maid beside Concubine Jiang suddenly spoke, under her gaze, Concubine Jiang's face became red, as the maid just finished speaking, Concubine Jiang felt a little dizzy, she only felt that her feet were soft, and the whole person fell forward.
"Niangniang, come on, help Niangniang." The palace maid hurriedly held Concubine Jiang's hand, and Concubine Jiang didn't fall, but the weight of most of her body was pressed on the maid, and the palace maid was a little unstable, so she hurriedly shouted.
The palace maids outside the dormitory walked in and helped Concubine Jiang to the bed in the dormitory, Concubine Jiang was boiling soup all over her body, and her face was flushed with a strange look.
"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go to the Imperial Doctor!"
Concubine Jiang's personal maid gave an order, and the attendant with quick legs and feet hurriedly ran to the hospital to invite the doctor.
The imperial doctor looked at Concubine Jiang's symptoms, and he had some doubts in his heart, why were Concubine Jiang's symptoms exactly the same as those of those palace maids in Lin Yuan's Palace?
However, the imperial doctor naturally didn't dare to say anything, just silently prescribed the medicine and left.
The next day, Concubine Jiang came to her senses, she listened to the maid next to her after talking about yesterday's situation and knew what happened, she didn't expect that Lin Yuan not only saw through her plan, but also dared to take revenge on herself in the same way, she was angry in her heart and went directly to the imperial study, Concubine Jiang was the villain who sued first, and cried aggrievedly in front of the new emperor.
"Your Majesty, you can be the master of the concubine, yesterday afternoon someone from the palace of the concubine sent winter clothes to the concubine, and the concubine thought it was your reward, so she couldn't wait to put it on, who knew that someone did something on the clothes, and the concubine was poisoned and had a high fever after putting it on, and she almost couldn't see you."
Concubine Jiang threw herself into the arms of the new emperor and cried so much that the pear blossoms rained.
