Chapter 55: Grounded in the Hundred Flowers Palace
King Qin learned the news of Phoenix's blindness that day, and he immediately rushed over in a hurry.
"What the hell is going on? How did you serve King Pingyang? King Qin poured his anger out on his subordinates.
"The emperor has clearly investigated." I'm going to show you what I found in the garden.
"Bold! How dare you poison medicine? Come on, take down all the people who have something to do with this in the Tai Hospital and the Pharmacy, and I will interrogate them personally! ”
But after King Qin's interrogation, the population up and down the Tai Hospital confessed surprisingly consistently. The imperial doctor insisted that poinsettia was not added to the bath medicine, saying that the bath medicine was just some Chinese patent medicine that cleared away heat and fire, and there were no toxic ingredients. The Food and Drug Administration is even more unanimous, saying that the medicine prescribed according to the prescription of the imperial doctor has never seen the word poinsettia in the prescription.
That's strange, there is clearly a residue of poinsettia in this residue, and the imperial doctors have also tested it later, and there is no doubt about it. Could it be that the people of this Wutong Hall have done their hands and feet in the medicine, but this medicine bag has always been kept by Qiao'er, could it be said that she is doing hands and feet in the medicine?
King Qin was also suspicious of the people inside the Wutong Palace, and his eyes swept sharply over everyone present. Looking at his chilling eyes, Qiao'er knelt on the ground with a "poof": "Childe's medicine has always been kept by the slave maid, but the slave maid has not been drugged, please check it out to the emperor." ”
"Back to the emperor, this magenta is not very toxic, a little dose is not enough to poison people, it must be a lot of poinsettia to poison people. In this palace, it is not easy to get a lot of poinsettias. Why don't the emperor check the origin of this magenta! "I speak to the King of Qin.
"You're right! Someone, search my palace and see which palace has so many poinsettias! King Qin commanded.
After some searching, only more than a thousand pots of poinsettia were found planted in the palace of the crown princess.
"The crown princess? is really the queen's good daughter-in-law! Someone came, went to Jingyang Palace, and it was rumored that the princess and others also went to Jingyang Palace. The Emperor said.
"Back to the emperor, Concubine Yu was injured in her leg last month, and the crown princess sent dozens of pots of poinsettia. The slave was worried about the poisoning of the child, which had something to do with it. I hurriedly said.
"And what? Take Concubine Yu to Jingyang Palace as well! King Qin said.
When I came to Jingyang Palace, I saw King Qin and Queen Gou on the top, and all the concubines were standing next to their seats, trembling and not daring to make a sound. King Qin looked impatiently at the concubines, and then at the queen, with a look of disgust.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? I haven't come to this Jingyang Palace for a long time, and I will be angry when I come here, where did the concubines and others offend you? Gou looked like he didn't know why.
"Anyway, you just don't want to be happy!"
"The emperor's words are serious, how can the concubines and others be your lord!" Gou said inexplicably.
"Plop", King Qin slapped the table fiercely, "Come on, take down the crown princess." ”
The queen's face immediately panicked: "Li'er? What's wrong with Li'er? ”
"Then I'm going to ask your good daughter-in-law!" King Qin said.
I saw the crown princess Shan Li kneeling on the ground with an innocent face: "My daughter-in-law doesn't know what she did wrong, and I asked my father to make it clear." ”
"Let me ask you, why do you grow so many poinsettias in your palace?"
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law wants to use this flower to decorate the courtyard."
"Did you know that this flower is poisonous?"
"Toxic? How can it be? This magenta can treat trauma, how can it be poisonous? Shan Li said in surprise.
"What? Poinsettia is poisonous? How did the concubine hear the princess Niangniang say that this magenta is an excellent tonic, which can reduce swelling and remove stasis, and can also regulate the qi of yin and yang. The crown princess specially gave me many pots! Murong Xue, who was now Concubine Yu, said in surprise.
"Yes! The crown princess also gave me some. Concubine Shu followed.
"Father, my daughter-in-law doesn't know that this poinsettia is poisonous, not to mention that you see that there is more than one poinsettia in this palace." The crown princess hurriedly clarified.
The crown princess also said that this magenta can not only cure broken bones, but also treat various allergies. That's why I made some snacks out of poinsettia juice and sent them to my brother to treat his allergies. Murong Xue asked puzzled.
"Sure enough, it's you! King Pingyang has lost his sight because of this magenta. Crown Princess, what do you mean by saying that you have such a poisonous hand against King Pingyang? King Qin roared at the crown princess.
"What? King of Binh Duong? What happened to King Binh Duong? Concubine Yu, I have never said such a thing to you, why do you say this? The crown princess looked at Murong Xue angrily.
"The crown princess has a lot of opportunities, and the nobles forget a lot, maybe they forget! I think that day, Sister Shufei is also there! Murong Xue said. But what happened to my brother? I saw him fine yesterday, why did he go blind after a day of not seeing him? Besides, the concubine used poinsettia juice on her leg every day to treat her leg injury, and she was not poisoned? How did my brother go blind as soon as he ate it? Murong Xue asked strangely.
"Concubine Yu, don't you know, a product of infrared is non-toxic, but if you take a large amount of it, it will be poisoned. And if the juice of poinsettia gets into the eyes, it can cause blindness. King Qin explained.
"Then didn't I hurt my brother, how is my brother now? Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean it, the concubine was deceived by a traitor! Murong Xue was so frightened that she knelt on the ground.
The crown princess Shan Li looked at Concubine Shu: "Concubine Shu, you speak!" I haven't said anything like that at all, so say it! But Concubine Shu didn't say anything, just sat there.
"How dare you slander me! I have no grievances with the King of Pingyang, why should I harm him? The crown princess said angrily.
"Concubine Yu, you get up first, I know that you have a deep relationship with the Phoenix sister and brother, and you naturally won't harm him! What's more, the only ones who can make the confessions of the top and bottom of this hospital be consistent are the crown princess and the queen! In this harem, only the crown princess is the crown princess who grows a large number of poinsettias, and there are all the human and material evidence, what else do you have to say? King Qin questioned Shan Li.
"Father, I was wronged!" The crown princess did not give up and pleaded.
"Queen, as the master of the harem, how are you going to deal with this matter?"
The queen's brows were tightly locked, the incident happened suddenly, and she couldn't deal with it for a while, she begged: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and there are many doubts!" Everyone in the palace knows that the princess loves poinsettias, and it is also used by people with hearts. It's better to confine the crown princess to the Hundred Flowers Palace first, and it's not too late to deal with it when it's clear! On the side of King Pingyang, presumably the Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine. ”
"Queen, I will give you three days to find out the truth for me! King Pingyang is now blind, and if he can recover, he may be able to spare her. If not, let her be blind with King Pingyang in three days! King Qin threw down these words and left angrily.
After King Qin and the others left, the queen sat down on a chair. The crown princess knelt on the ground in embarrassment, and she looked at Gou Shi resentfully: "This time you finally got your wish!" ”
