Chapter 566: Confession
The matter was finally over, and Shi Qingqian's mind was settled, and he decided to start researching what the poison on Shen Mi's body was. For this reason, she also begged Shu Ziping for a long time before calling him to the palace, after all, Shu Ziping is also a famous teacher, and with his help, Shi Qingqian feels that his chances of success will be higher.
She had been hesitating whether to tell Shen Mi the truth, after all, seeing his face so tired, she really couldn't bear to let him have one more thing in her heart.
However, after a few days of recuperation, his fever has subsided, and although he still has a little cough and headache, his spirit has improved a lot.
After all, he is the party, and he still has the right to know. Shi Qingqian made up his mind, so he told Shen Mi about this matter one by one.
Hearing this, Shen Mi subconsciously covered his chest in disbelief, "Poison...... Poison? No wonder...... I've been so tired that I often feel my bones ache, and I'm still thinking about ...... How can an ordinary wind chill be so terrible, cough cough cough ......"
"However, the emperor doesn't have to worry for the time being, after so many years, the courtiers' medical skills have improved a lot, and it is not difficult to force the toxin in one place, and the poison is not strong, so ...... We still have time to find a way to get rid of the poison......" Shi Qingqian knelt in front of Shen Mi, sighed, and spoke cautiously, as if he was afraid that he would feel sad because of this.
Shen Mi pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Although he had known for a long time that this muddy water was very deep, and even if he became the emperor, he would always face danger, but Shen Mi did not expect things to be so fast. He had just ascended the throne, and he was walking on thin ice and cautious every day, and if he offended anyone, it was only those veterans who were in the court a few days ago, who was so eager to get rid of him......
Looking at his expression, Shi Qingqian could guess what he was thinking at this time, so he cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, speaking of which...... At first, Shen Shu guessed that this matter was related to the sudden provocation of Cangli Kingdom. This poison is by no means a product of our Yu Kingdom, and the courtiers also feel that ...... Maybe it has something to do with that Cangli. ”
"You mean, the poison came from Cangli?" Shen Mi raised his eyebrows and asked.
He hadn't thought about it, and when he learned that his illness was caused by poison, his first thought was this. However, I have to say that it is very difficult to infiltrate the palace of another country, let alone quietly poison the emperor. But...... No place is completely safe, and it's not impossible for someone to do something if they're being bought.
Thinking in his heart, Shen Mi raised his head and told Shi Qingqian his thoughts, wanting to hear her guess.
Shi Qingqian held his chin and pondered Shen Mi's words, "Traitor...... It's not impossible...... By the way, speaking of which, has the emperor eaten or drunk anything outside of the norm recently? Illness comes from the mouth, Your Majesty, although I don't know how long it takes for this poison to take effect, but it is basically poisoned because of eating. ”
Shen Mi thought, "Hmm...... The harem concubines will often send some things they have made themselves, and there is nothing else......" Suddenly, Shen Mi was stunned and raised his head in disbelief, "Xiao Qi'er, you mean...... It may be the concubines of the harem......"
Shi Qingqian didn't nod or shake her head, she didn't have any evidence, so she didn't dare to make a conclusion, "The courtiers are just figuring out all possibilities." Although it is a little more difficult for the people of the previous dynasty to do it, it is not necessarily impossible. It's just that the concubines in the harem are all new to the palace, and among the six of them, they ...... The three of them are not from the family of officials in the capital, and the emperor will still be more vigilant in the future, and there is always no harm. ”
Somehow, Shen Mi suddenly became a little depressed, and he coughed lightly, not wanting to continue talking about this topic.
The most clever thing about Shi Qingqian is that she can clearly see the changes in the other party's face at any time, so she saluted and got up slowly, "Then the courtiers will retire first, the emperor must not overwork, and the things that can be shared...... It's better to leave it to the people below to deal with, after all, overwork can easily give toxins a chance. ”
Seeing Shen Mi nodding, Shi Qingqian retreated.
"Miss, the emperor's face is so bad...... "Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, Xue Ying held Shi Qingqian's cloak and waited outside with the other subordinates, as soon as she came out, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Shi Qingqian approve the cloak, and said cautiously on the way out.
"Oh, yes." Shi Qingqian sighed, although there was no obvious sadness or joy, there was always a little sadness in his eyes.
Only Shen Shu, Shen Mi and Shi Qingqian knew about the poisoning, and even Shu Ziping, who helped her study the matter, was prevaricated by Shi Qingqian under other excuses.
Xue Ying tilted his head and smiled lightly, "However, it must be no problem to have Miss here!" Speaking of which, there is still a short time before the day that the fifth princess has set for her, I hope Your Majesty can get better before the fifth princess returns......"
Shi Qingqian smiled bitterly and nodded perfunctorily.
Before the Five Princesses come back? That's easier said than done.
Shi Qingqian studied for so many days, but he had no clue about the poison, so he simply found some other ways to interpret it, and there were no side effects after Shen Mi ate it. Just suppressing the toxicity is definitely not a foolproof solution, and there will always be a day when the toxin is churning in the body.
She originally thought that when the fifth princess came back, she could ask her to see if Na Dongwu had such poison. But on second thought, isn't this just a matter of sitting back and waiting to die? No matter who started it, but it was provoked to the head of the ruler of Yu Kingdom, Shi Qingqian thought of this, and her fists clenched unconsciously-she must change from passive to active!
Walking in the palace, a blueprint has gradually been sketched out in Shi Qingqian's heart......
The people of the previous dynasty, she has no way to contact for the time being, but the harem can. Although treason and poisoning are not like things that a woman in the harem can do, she must also investigate before she can be completely reassured.
"Anyway, the research on the antidote has stalled at this time......" Shi Qingqian muttered.
"Miss, what are you?" Xue Ying on the side leaned over and asked.
"Ah, it's okay, Ying'er, let's enter the palace early tomorrow, we haven't participated in the morning and dusk for a long time, and we still need to walk around with the concubines."
Anyway, at this time, the research on the antidote is also stagnant, and Shi Qingqian just has time to catch that 'traitor'!
