The sun outside the temple was just right.

At this time, it is early summer, and the palace courtyard is filled with all kinds of blooming flowers, colorful and colorful. The gentle breeze blew, blowing the faint fragrance of flowers to the bottom of the corridor, Meng Ying was a little intoxicated, sat on the platform, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

A little eunuch squatted down beside Meng Ying flatteringly, gently slapped him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Gonggong Meng, your old man has worked hard." ”

Meng Ying didn't open his eyes, turned his somewhat stiff neck, and whispered, "Little ghost, we are slaves, but we don't have to be careful all the time, and you don't just have to pick up the good ones and tell me." Serve the emperor and queen carefully, and you will naturally have benefits in the future. ”

The little eunuch nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and there was still a hint of flattery in his tone, and he smiled quietly, "The lesson of Gonggong Meng is that the little one is young and doesn't understand anything, and it is also a small blessing to be taught a few words by Gonggong Meng from time to time." ”

Meng Ying showed a smile on his face, slowly opened his eyes, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a crisp sound in the hall, as if something had fallen to the ground and shattered, followed by Empress Yang's panicked voice, "Your Majesty!" Your Majesty! ”

Meng Ying's face changed suddenly, and he pushed the little eunuch away violently, didn't bother to stand up, and rushed to the hall half-rolling and half-crawling.

Empress Yang's voice had changed to a poignant tone: "Quick! Fast! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! ”

Meng Ying shouted one after another, "Quick! Fast! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! ”

A few little eunuchs who had not yet stepped into the threshold also changed color on their faces, and ran towards the hospital shouting and shouting.

Meng Ying knelt and crawled to Li Gong's couch, the sunlight outside was shining on Li Xun's face through the window lattice, only to see Li Xun's face was pale, there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, his head fell next to the pillow, and his body was motionless.

On the ground, there were broken soup bowls, soup soup splashed everywhere, snow-white tofu, verdant shepherd's cabbage, and delicate shredded chicken......

Meng Ying felt that his heart was about to jump out, and he secretly glanced at Empress Yang from the corner of his eye, but fortunately, Empress Yang was also in a panic at this time, and he didn't notice Meng Ying at all.

Several palace maids hurriedly brought rags, wiped the soup on the ground, cleaned up the broken soup bowls, and stood beside them, also helpless.

Several imperial doctors who heard the news took turns to check Li Xuan's pulse, and when they peeked at each other, they all saw the horror on each other's faces.

Imperial Physician Shen hesitated for a moment, knelt down in front of Empress Yang, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his cuffs, and asked cautiously, "Chen Dougu, may I ask the queen mother, what happened just now?" ”

Empress Yang's face was pale, her body was still trembling slightly, and she said with a crying voice, "Shen Qing, this palace doesn't know, just because Your Majesty wants to eat shepherd's cabbage and shredded chicken tofu soup, this palace ordered Gonggong Meng to take the materials in the imperial dining room, and on the small stove in the side hall, make soup for His Majesty. ”

Imperial Physician Shen cast his inquiring eyes on Meng Ying, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling like himself.

Meng Ying was so frightened that he could only kowtow vigorously, "Queen Mother, the slave should die!" Just because he watched His Majesty and Niangniang reminisce, it was inconvenient for the slave to disturb, so he only waited outside the hall, and he didn't expect it...... Didn't expect ......"

Empress Yang urged impatiently, "Shen Qing, you should hurry up and treat Your Majesty, what's the use of just asking this?" ”

Imperial Physician Shen wiped the sweat from his forehead again and asked, "May I ask where is the soup that the queen just made?" ”

Empress Yang, who was already on fire, added another layer of anger, and asked hatefully, "Shen Qing, why don't you hurry up and treat Your Majesty, and ask what the soup is for?" Do you suspect that this palace will poison the saint? ”

Imperial Doctor Shen hurriedly kowtowed a few times, and said honestly and fearfully, "Niangniang, Weichen doesn't dare, it's just that Your Majesty's illness is a little strange, Weichen has to find out the reason, so that he can use the medicine, and please forgive Niangniang!" ”

Empress Yang had to endure her anxiety and anger and said, "The palace maids have already taken it out, and there are still some left on the stove in the side hall, you want to see it, just go and see it." ”

Imperial Physician Shen hurriedly agreed, kowtowed again, Fang stood up, walked to the small stove where Empress Yang made soup in the side hall, picked up the remaining soup on the stove and all the ingredients next to it in turn, smelled it carefully, and some even tasted it.

Empress Yang was restlessly pacing in front of Li Xuan's couch, while watching Imperial Physician Shen carefully examine the ingredients, and wanted to open her mouth several times, but finally held back.

Finally, Imperial Physician Shen picked up a small jar of celadon intarsia, sniffed it carefully, dipped it with his finger a little, rubbed it evenly at his fingertips, looked carefully at the sunlight outside the window, nodded his head, walked to Queen Yang with the small jar, knelt down and said, "Empress Qiyu, this is it." ”

Empress Yang looked at Imperial Physician Shen suspiciously, then at the small jar, and said, "This palace remembers, this seems to be salt in it, is there any problem?" ”

Doctor Shen said, "Empress Qiyu, in this jar of salt, there is a medicine called Shadowless Dream, which is produced in the Dian Kingdom, and it is a white powder, which is very similar to salt. When a person eats it, it is difficult to save ......"

Empress Yang hurriedly interrupted Imperial Physician Shen's words, "But Your Majesty didn't drink this soup......"

Imperial Physician Shen said, "This shadowless dream will also emit a colorless and odorless faint poisonous gas when it is hot, if ordinary people smell it, it is irrelevant, just because Your Majesty is very weak now, so he can't bear it......"

Empress Yang couldn't hold it back, and said hurriedly, "Shen Qing, since you have found the reason, hurry up and give medicine to Your Majesty!" ”

Imperial Physician Shen put down the jar, kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice, "Queen Qiyu, there is no shadow in a dream, there is no medicine to solve!" ”

Empress Yang was stunned, her body shook, and she sat down on the chair again.

Meng Ying, who was kneeling next to him, had quietly climbed up, waved his hand to a few little eunuchs, and several people went out of the dormitory together.

There was a deathly silence in the hall.

After a long time, Empress Yang remembered an important matter, and slowly asked, "Shen Qing, what is this shadowless dream?" ”

Imperial Physician Shen clearly heard that in this moment, Empress Yang's voice seemed to have aged a lot, he straightened up, and said solemnly, "Empress Qiyu, dreaming without a shadow, is a poison formed by using a variety of drugs with anesthetic effect, combined with a deadly poisonous weed, after quenching and extraction. This medicine ...... This medicine ......"

Speaking of this, Imperial Physician Shen shook his head violently, and hurriedly said, "Queen, since these things are all brought from the imperial dining room, the person who poisoned them must also be in the imperial dining room, please ask the queen to arrest them for interrogation, maybe there is a way to detoxify the person who poisoned them, but I can't say for sure." ”

A word reminded Empress Yang, hurriedly stood up, and just called "Gonggong Meng", only to see Meng Ying running in from outside the palace in a panic, panting and saying, "Queen Qiyu, it's not good, a cook in the imperial dining room committed suicide!" ”
