Chapter 34 Eating Poisonous Cakes

Concubine Ning's handkerchief was clenched, and Cui'er was also flustered, she couldn't help but get close to Concubine Ning's ear and asked quietly, "Niangniang, what should we do?" ”

Now dozens of pairs of eyes are falling on Concubine Ning's master and servant, and every move will fall into the hands of others.

Seeing that Concubine Ning only took a sip of tea lightly and did not respond to herself, Cui'er had no choice but to put away her panicked thoughts, her hands were tightly clasped together, but a layer of cold sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.

For the heirs of the Jin family, the Queen Mother has always taken it very seriously, and seeing Shang Kelan's confident appearance, she couldn't help but guess in her heart: Could it be that the person who murdered the child in Concubine Ning's womb is really someone else?

Just when the hall was quiet, suddenly, a palace maid came in and said respectfully to the Queen Mother: "Qi Qi Empress Dowager, Mama Chen brought the head of the imperial dining room Li and the Imperial Hospital Doctor Li to see." ”

The Queen Mother raised her hand: "Xuan!" ”

As soon as her majestic voice fell, Mama Chen took the lead and walked in, followed by a young man with a medicine box on his back and a chief eunuch with a dust.

The three of them came to the main hall and knelt down and saluted.

Seeing that the three of them had arrived, Shang Kelan smiled slightly, folded her hands in front of her forehead and saluted the Queen Mother: "Empress Dowager Qi, the witnesses of the concubines have arrived, and now you can continue." ”

The Queen Mother hummed lightly, although she was still not very satisfied with this concubine, she also wanted to find the murderer who really murdered the dragon heir.

Shang Kelan's voice is gentle and pleasant, and it sounds kind and warm.

Li Chenxiu, who was standing aside with his head down, couldn't help but be stunned, this voice was similar to Yan'er's voice before!

He couldn't help but raise his eyes and look in the direction of the person who spoke, but saw a slender purple figure coming in front of him, and asked, "Imperial Doctor Li, when you asked Concubine Ning for peace the day before yesterday, where was the prescription for Concubine Ning?" ”

Li Chenxiu's hand in his sleeve tightened, but he replied with neither humility nor arrogance on his face: "Back to Niangniang, those prescriptions are stored in the Tai Hospital, and the minister did not bring them with him." ”

Shang Kelan asked this as if she was chatting with him, and as soon as Li Chenxiu's words fell, her voice sounded again: "I have seen those prescriptions with Mama Chen before, but the day before Sister Ning's accident, Cui'er went to the Tai Hospital to find you, and then took a pack of poppy shells from you, and you gave Cui'er a prescription, yes or no?" ”

The old lady doctor said before that it was the poppy shells in the pastries that made Concubine Ning vomit, but she didn't expect that this poppy shell was actually asked by Cui'er for Imperial Doctor Li!

For a while, the hall was extremely quiet, and it seemed that if one wrong step was taken, one party would fall into a state of no return.

"Cui'er was unwell that day, and using poppy husks with other medicinal herbs could relieve her pain, so the minister prescribed such a prescription, is it that the minister is just curing the disease and saving people, is it also guilty?"

Li Chenxiu lowered his head and said, although he didn't raise his eyes to look at Shang Kelan, but his words made it impossible to refute.

Shang Kelan lowered her head and smiled, then raised her head and looked directly at him and said, "It's nothing, the words of this palace are finished, and the next thing is Manager Li." ”

Just let him go?

Li Chenxiu couldn't help frowning, this Concubine Chen didn't look like an easy person to deal with, he had to be vigilant and not fall into her trap!

At this time, Li Xiulian stood up and said, "Concubine Chen, the slave is here." ”

Shang Kelan came to Li Xiulian and asked, "Manager Li, you have seen the process of Yunzhi cake that Xiaoxia has been making under your nose, dare to ask Xiaoxia if you use poppy shells in the pastry?" ”

Li Xiulian shook her head and replied, "No." ”

Concubine Hua was confused when she heard it on the side, and couldn't help frowning: "Sister Concubine Chen, you are arranging a few sentences of nonsense, do you want to lead us off topic?" Even if you hadn't poisoned the pastries, wouldn't you have done anything with them on the road? ”

Shang Kelan raised her eyes and looked at her lightly and said, "Listen to Sister Hua, you know a lot about poisoning?" What this palace has not done, why should this palace admit it? Let's listen to what this palace has said, it's not too late for Sister Hua to raise objections! ”

Before, no matter how provocative and sarcastic Concubine Hua was, she had an easy-going attitude, but she didn't expect that she was now like a different person, indifferent and majestic, which made people dare not go against her.

The Queen Mother frowned, seeing all this in her eyes, although she was impatient in her heart, she quietly waited for the result.

Then, Shang Kelan turned around and clapped her hands, and Gardenia came with a food box.

After placing the food box on the table, a stack of stinky and discolored Yunzhi cakes appeared in front of everyone, and there were three pieces in this stack of Yunzhi cakes.

Concubine Ning immediately recognized this stack of Yunzhi cakes, which was the one that Fupu took away from her Qin Palace the day before yesterday, and Cui'er also recognized it, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't this the stack of poisonous Yunzhi cakes?" ”

Shang Kelan looked at her and said unhurriedly: "Exactly, this stack of Yunzhi cakes is the same as the previous two stacks of Yunzhi cakes, there were originally six pieces, but when the palace gave this stack of Yunzhi cakes to Sister Ning, Concubine Ning and Sister Hua each ate a piece, and Sister Ning did not appear to be anything unusual at that time. ”

"But later, after Concubine Ning's sister ate a piece of Yunzhi cake in the dormitory, she vomited and showed symptoms of poisoning."

As she spoke, before anyone could refute it, Shang Kelan suddenly hooked her lips and smiled, took a piece of pastry from the second stack of Yunzhi cakes with poppy shells, and put it in her mouth.

The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "That pastry is poisonous, what are you doing?" ”

The others were also shocked, and some were a little puzzled by Shang Kelan's meaning.

I saw Shang Kelan's throat move, and after swallowing this Yunzhi cake, she turned to the old lady and said, "This palace eats such a piece of Yunzhi cake, will it have the same reaction as Sister Ning that day?" ”

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the old lady's forehead, but she didn't expect this Concubine Chen to be so cruel to herself!

So he wiped his sweat and said respectfully, "This...... Only if you take too much poppy husk for a long time or at one time, you will vomit and even have short-term hallucinations. ”

After listening to the old lady's explanation, before Shang Kelan could speak, the Queen Mother angrily slapped the table and pointed at Cui'er and said, "Okay, you palace maid, you dare to use poppy shells to harm Concubine Ning?" ”

"Plop!"

Cui'er trembled all over, and her legs fell to the ground weakly!

She hurriedly kowtowed to the Queen Mother and said, "The Queen Mother spares her life, the slave really doesn't dare to do such a thing!" ”

Concubine Ning frowned, and said softly: "Queen Mother, it's not too late to make a decision after listening to Concubine Chen's sister's testimony." ”

The words were very fair, but the Queen Mother suppressed the anger in her heart, and Cui'er saved her life temporarily.

"Concubine Chen, you go on!"

The Queen Mother said majestically to Shang Kelan, and Shang Kelan looked at Imperial Physician Li at this time and said, "Dare to ask Imperial Physician Li, you go to Concubine Ning every day to ask for a safe pulse, don't you even know when she was poisoned?" ”
