Chapter 154: The Emperor's Father 54
After the Seventh Prince was full, Ji Qianhong told him his suspicions, and he immediately called Fu Ji, and the two of them directly tortured Yushu and Huansha.
Yushu was really completely unaware, and Huansha took advantage of people's unpreparedness to swallow poison and commit suicide, Yushu was so frightened that she lost her face, and finally confessed a little useful information.
It turned out that Huansha had an affair with the Sixth Prince two years ago, and the Six Princes had promised her that after sitting on the throne of the prince, she would ask the emperor to give Huansha to him and promise the position of side concubine.
"It seems that there is something wrong with that pot of flowing fireflies, Florist!" The Seventh Prince said decisively.
The gardener entered the capital this time, and also carried a pot of newly planted live fireflies, because the grass blades are sparse and thin, not too good-looking, and only for backup, in case there are nobles who like it, and they can be sent out after a period of time.
The gardener bit the firefly grass to death and it is not poisonous, because his family has been breeding the firefly grass since his father's generation, and it used to be planted and sold to large families in the south of the Yangtze River, but he didn't expect that this time it was to be dedicated to the emperor, and he was fortunate to see the face of the sky, which was a supreme honor for him.
The hospital verified that the flowing firefly grass was indeed non-toxic, but Ji Qianhong still felt that there was something greasy in it, if it was really a pot of non-toxic grass, would Huansha commit suicide because she destroyed a pot of flowers?
The Seventh Prince also felt very confused, so he passed down the edict and summoned all the eunuchs and palace maids who had recently come to the emperor's bedroom, and asked them to recall the things related to Huansha.
In the end, the mystery was solved by a little palace maid who had just entered the palace for less than a month, and according to her, Sister Huansha had sent her to the flower room three days ago to ask for a pot of July red.
July red is a plant produced in Nanyue, which has strong vitality and is very good to feed in addition to being afraid of cold.
Because it is not a valuable flower, the little palace maid did not register it when she moved this pot of flowers.
Every July is the red flower season in July, when the flowers bloom, the flowers are complex and gorgeous, because the gardeners in the palace are carefully served, its flowering period can be extended to the end of August in these two years, and the unfavored ladies in the harem like to raise a pot.
At that time, the little palace maid was still a little puzzled, since Sister Huansha wanted to be red in July, why didn't she move over a month earlier? But she is just a newcomer who does errands, how dare she question the orders of the palace maid?
After a night of experiments, it was confirmed that the fragrance of the two non-poisonous flowers and plants mixed in the same dormitory was really poisonous, and the poison was magical, and it did not show abnormalities on human blood and skin.
Ji Qianhong guessed that this should be a neurotoxin, which can gradually paralyze people's neurons, and Huansha should have mixed the two pots of flowers together after the third watch, so that the emperor looked very energetic when he got up in the morning, but he fell ill less than half an hour after going to court.
The cause was found, but the imperial doctors were helpless, there was no record of this toxin in the medical classics, even if the imperial doctors took a small amount of the emperor's blood to study, it was difficult to create a symptomatic antidote for a while.
Ji Qianhong thought of the particularity of his blood, and did not hesitate to add a few drops of his own blood to the decoction taken by the emperor, the emperor's poison was solved, and his complexion returned to normal, but he just didn't wake up.
"Your Majesty was damaged by that special toxin before, please forgive the ministers and others are only shallow in learning, and they really can't find a cure for it, whether Your Majesty can wake up can only depend on the will of heaven." The doctors knelt down collectively and said tremblingly.
