Chapter 318: Poisoning
Chu Yuqin dipped some ointment on the back of his hand, lowered his head and sniffed it.
"This thing is poisonous, and you still touch it with your hands?" The Emperor didn't know when he was standing behind her.
Chu Yuqin was startled when he heard this voice.
When he turned around and saw that it was the emperor, he was blessed: "Your Majesty, if you don't check it yourself, how can you know what kind of poison it is?" Look at the mother's face is quite badly ruined. ”
The imperial doctor next to him said, "This poison is very domineering. Hurry up and wipe it off! ”
"Someone." The emperor said to the palace maid next to him, "Fetch some water for Miss Chu to clean up." ”
The palace maid immediately fetched water.
Chu Yuqin wiped off the ointment on the back of his hand, and when he looked at it again, it was already a little red and swollen.
"Imperial Doctor." The Emperor said, "Look at her hands." ”
The imperial doctor immediately walked over, checked the back of Chu Yuqin's hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Miss Chu used a small amount, and it was wiped off immediately, and the toxin had not spread yet, so it was not in the way. ”
Only then did the emperor relent.
Chu Yuqin said: "Your Majesty, it's really not the people's daughter who did it. ”
"I only believe in the evidence. Since you didn't do it, find out about this murderer. Otherwise, I only believe in what I see. The Emperor spoke indifferently.
Concubine Tong called out to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubine is so uncomfortable!" ”
The Emperor hurriedly walked over.
After all, she is a woman who has been spoiled for so many years. Even if it's just for the family behind her, it's impossible not to have a little sincerity.
Now seeing her face festering like this, the emperor's eyes were full of distress.
"Your Majesty, are the concubines particularly ugly now?" Concubine Tong cried: "The concubine is so itchy, I really want to catch it." The Emperor ......"
The emperor grabbed her palm and said in a gentle tone, "Concubine Ai endure again." Imperial doctor, no matter what, first find a way to detoxify the mother. ”
The Imperial Doctor had already tried his best just now. If there was a way, I would have come to ask for credit a long time ago. Now I can only watch Concubine Tong become like this, there is really no way.
"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to heal the face of the concubine. There is no way for the folk girl to prove her innocence. This matter can only be investigated slowly later. But the folk girl can heal the face of the concubine. If the emperor believes in the people's daughter, the people's daughter can try. Chu Yuqin took a few steps forward and said to the emperor and Concubine Tong.
The emperor looked at Concubine Tong: "Ai Concubine, ...... you say"
Concubine Tong nodded: "Your Majesty, I believe that Miss Chu will not harm me." The concubine is really uncomfortable, let her try! ”
"Okay." The emperor said, "Since Concubine Ai believes in you like this, I also believe in you once." The poisoning matter will be investigated later, and the most important thing is to cure the concubine's face first. ”
Chu Yuqin looked at the imperial doctor behind him: "I came in a hurry and didn't bring a golden needle." Can I borrow an adult's gold needle? ”
The imperial doctor took out the golden needle from the medicine box and handed it to Chu Yuqin with both hands.
Chu Yuqin walked towards the concubine with the golden needle.
The emperor sat right next to him. When Chu Yuqin came over, the emperor moved to the side.
Chu Yuqin could only do things for Concubine Tong in front of the emperor.
"It's itchy." Concubine Tong said uncomfortably.
"Mother, bear with me a little longer." Chu Yuqin said softly: "It won't itch right away." ”
Concubine Tong frowned.
The emperor grabbed Tong Guifei's palm.
"Your Majesty." Chu Yuqin said.
The emperor watched Chu Yuqin's movements.
The little girl's skin is so delicate that she can't even see the pores.
Concubine Tong is a famous beauty in the capital. The emperor still remembered the first time he saw Concubine Tong, and he also had a look of surprise in his eyes. But compared with the girl in front of her, she can only be regarded as the best in the world, but this girl is a fairy in the sky. Which is higher and which is lower is immediately clear.
"Alright." Chu Yuqin said: "I have a needle, and I still need to apply the potion I concocted." But I didn't bring it with me now. Your Majesty, can I go back and get it? ”
"Yes." The Emperor said, "Bring it at once." ”
"Yes."
Chu Yuqin returned to the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Mama Chen had been there all the time, and when she came back, she asked her how she was doing.
Chu Yuqin said what happened just now.
"Such an obvious blame, not only the emperor and the concubine will not believe it, but the queen mother will not believe it. You don't have to worry. If the emperor blames you, the queen mother will be the master for you! Now the emperor doesn't embarrass you, he just believes in your innocence. I left you there to investigate this matter. Mama Chen comforted.
"I understand, thank you for your concern." Chu Yuqin said: "I came back to get the potion on purpose. Later, I will go back to guard the concubine Niangniang. ”
"Then you can go quickly!" Mama Chen said. "Remember to send someone back to tell me something."
When Chu Yuqin went back to the room to get the potion, Mama Chen reported the situation to the Queen Mother.
"Who the hell used such clumsy means to assassinate that girl? Do you want to harm the concubine, or do you want to blame her? If you want to blame her, this method is too clumsy. The Queen Mother said.
"Not really." Mama Chen said: "This method is ridiculous. That person doesn't look at it, will the emperor and the concubine be so easily fooled? Of course not. ”
"You send someone to keep an eye on what's going on over there. Also, secretly investigate who did it. Dare to poison the concubine. If you attack the emperor next time, won't it hurt the dragon body? ”
This is the reason why the Queen Mother is really angry.
Whether Concubine Tong was poisoned or not, the Queen Mother didn't care at all. Concubine Tong's power in the palace is too great, and even the queen can't suppress it. The Queen Mother has long been dissatisfied with her.
She was just concerned about whether this matter would endanger the emperor's body.
Chu Yuqin took the potion and returned to Concubine Tong's palace.
Word has spread.
The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by all pointed at Chu Yuqin when they saw him.
Chu Yuqin pretended not to know, and looked calm as usual.
"Niangniang, the folk girl will help you rub the medicine." Chu Yuqin opened a medicine bottle.
The smell of fragrance spreads.
The emperor sniffed: "This is medicine?" How can it be so fragrant? ”
"Back to the emperor, this is a skin care water, but it also has a detoxifying effect." Chu Yuqin said: "Of course, if you want to detoxify, this potion alone is not enough, and you have to prescribe a prescription for detoxification." You don't need to prescribe the right medicine, it's just an ordinary detoxification prescription. Then I gave the medicine to the concubine and brought it over. ”
"Does that work?" The Imperial Physician was skeptical. "What if you don't prescribe the right medicine and have no effect in the end?"
"The Imperial Physician just does it. If it doesn't work, the mother's poison is still committed, and I will be responsible. Chu Yuqin said.
Since she dared to ask for this, she was sure. Do what she says! The Emperor said beside him. I believe in you. Don't let me down. ”
Chu Yuqin lowered his eyes and said yes.
Next, the imperial doctor cooperated with Chu Yuqin's actions.
At night, the traces on Concubine Tong's face disappeared.
It was originally red and swollen, and even had a thick black gas. Now some have been restored.
