Chapter 674: Ji Qiang is poisoned
These days, Ji Qiang has been depressed and unable to eat. The body is getting thinner and thinner, and gradually, the chin is also pointed, and the flesh on the cheeks is also sinking, which makes Xia Jingnian feel distressed when he sees it.
So Xia Jingnian also went to Ji Qiang's palace more than once. I want to reconcile with her, and every day I will set aside some valuable ornaments and cloth to reward her. But Ji Qiang was unmoved, still looking cold.
"Your Majesty, the slave has seen that your will has become more and more depressed recently, but it is because of the queen's mother." The prince beside Xia Jingnian raised the dust on his hand, bent down and cared for him respectfully.
"Yes, lately, she has been avoiding me and refusing to say a word to me. I sent her a lot of things, and she didn't even look at them, and just asked the palace people to take them to the warehouse. ”
said that Xia Jingnian looked distressed again. "I really regret not being at the beginning! However, he is Yang Shangshu's daughter after all. I am the emperor of the world. I had to take care of the overall situation. ”
"Your Majesty, as long as you coax the queen more, the slave believes that the mother will soon understand. After all, Niangniang has always been generous, and she will definitely be able to understand your difficulties. It's just that the breath in my heart hasn't been swallowed yet. ”
The prince still looked obedient with his eyebrows bowed and his head bowed.
"Good! In that case, I will go to his palace again to coax her. Come on, set up the Fengluan Palace. ”
"Niangniang, Niangniang" Xi'er at the door shouted excitedly, and ran into the house in a hurry. "Your Majesty, the emperor has come to Fengluan Palace, Niangniang should go outside the palace to pick up the car!"
"Well, I see, you can step down." After Ji Qiang heard this, she just replied without being salty. There is no action. Silently picked up the tea on the table, opened the teacup and drank it.
"This ......" Xi'er stopped at the door, not knowing what to do next. But she also did not want to disobey the queen's will. Just stood there and hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Yes, mother."
Xia Jingnian came to the outside of the Fengluan Palace, but he didn't see anyone who took the driver. But he wasn't annoyed in his heart, just sighed secretly. Then he forced himself again, and entered the Fengluan Hall with a full face full of energy
Xia Jingnian waved his hand, signaling that the palace people behind him did not have to follow, and stepped into the Fengluan Palace.
When the people in the palace saw him, they all immediately bowed down and were about to say compliments, but Xia Jingnian also waved his hand to let them retreat. At this time, there were only two people left in the Fengluan Palace, Xia Jingnian and Ji Qiang.
Ji Qiang heard the footsteps behind her, and she knew that Xia Jingnian was the only one behind her at this time. But she didn't want to talk to him. Just stood in front of the window with his back to him.
"Qiang'er" Xia called her softly in recent years, but Ji Qiang was unmoved. Xia Jingnian was also very helpless, and walked a few steps to stand beside her.
She forcibly stretched out her hands and pressed them on Ji Qiang's shoulders, twisting Ji Qiang to face her. Looking at Ji Qiang's emaciated appearance, Xia Jingnian's heart throbbed, her eyebrows wrinkled together unconsciously, and her eyebrows were full of distress.
"Qiang'er, I know that I can't stand you, but you see, you're torturing yourself now! You are like this, how can I not feel distressed? ”
Ji Qiang still didn't say a word, and she didn't even want to give him a look. Turn your head away and look out the window.
"Someone! Xuan Taiyi. Xia Jingnian couldn't manage it so much, even if Ji Qiang didn't care about herself, she still couldn't help but want to help her regulate her body.
Soon the imperial doctor came to the Fengluan Hall non-stop, and he saluted Xia Jingnian and Ji Qiang. But the ceremony was not finished yet, which was interrupted by Xia Jingnian in a hurry: "Okay, you can get up quickly." Help the queen see what's going on with her lately. ”
So, as soon as he took out a brocade handkerchief and put it on the queen's hand, he trembled and took the pulse. Within a moment, he already had an answer in his heart, but he still couldn't help but doubt and fear.
"Back to the emperor, the minister doesn't dare to hide it, the queen is ...... Seems to be a symptom of poisoning? The Imperial Physician bent down in fear and said his conclusion in a trembling voice.
"What?" After Xia Jingnian heard this, his brows furrowed, and he looked angry. The thing in his hand was also "slammed" to the ground by him.
After Ji Qiang heard this conclusion, she couldn't help but be afraid. She thought it was because of the recent lack of tea and rice that she would lose weight so quickly. It seems that there is really something abnormal?
"Check! Check it out for me! Even if the entire Fengluan Palace and the Imperial Palace are turned over, I will have to find out who poisoned me. ”
The subordinates of the Fengluan Hall knelt in a row in the main hall, and when they saw Xia Jingnian's dragon face furious, they couldn't help but tremble. No one dared to say a word out loud, for fear that they would not be able to keep their heads.
The people below went out to rummage for evidence of poisoning and murdering the queen. Within a moment, an old grandmother, holding a potted plant, came to Xia Jingnian.
"Your Majesty. This potted plant, it has a problem. Mama whispered. The slave's hometown used to have this kind of bonsai, and this kind of potted plant for him. It is non-toxic when it is not in bloom. ”
"But when it blossoms and bears fruit, the floral scent comes out with the air, and its floral scent is a chronic poison."
Xia Jingnian looked at this potted plant with flowers blooming brightly, and his heart shuddered, and he was secretly glad that he had finally let go of the emperor's face this time.
personally came to Fengluan Hall to ask for peace, otherwise after a long time, what kind of ending would it be, even he himself didn't dare to imagine.
Xi'er fell into deep thought when she saw this potted plant, and she always felt that this potted plant was very familiar. "The emperor's potted plant was moved by Mama Cui." Xi'er stepped forward and blessed her body and said to Xia Jingnian.
After Xia Jinnian heard this answer, the green tendons on his head burst out, and he yelled at the people in the hall: "Check it for me, you must find out this Cui Mama!" ”
After hearing the emperor's orders, everyone in the palace and everyone in the palace began to search for Cui Mama's traces again. This time, the results are faster. Within a while, someone came to Xia Jingnian's side to pay his respects.
"Emperor, Emperor, Mama Cui, she's gone." The one who talked back and forth was a little eunuch, who should be the one who was usually close to Mama Cui. He had never seen the emperor, and he was already very frightened, not to mention that Xia Jingnian was in a rage now.
"What, can't find it?" After Xia Jingnian heard the results of the investigation, he was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground. Then he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and summoned Yan Ruyu outside the palace.
After a while, Yan Ruyu entered the palace, and Xia Jingnian looked at Yan Ruyu who was kneeling below: "Yan Ruyu, I don't care what method you use." I must find out the murderer of the queen. ”
