Chapter 179: The Queen Mother (3)

The Queen Mother was still wearing the brown embroidered gold-threaded phoenix robe when she invited An, wrapped in fur and fashionable, and when she walked in, she said: "You have eaten so much here, you are not afraid that you will not be able to eat at noon, hold on!" ”

She had a lot of resentment today, so she spoke with thorns, and everyone was not easy to refute because she was the queen mother, so they had to hang their heads and dare not come out.

The Queen Mother saw everyone's submissive appearance, and it seemed that everyone was still afraid of herself, and she did not completely succumb to the majesty of the queen.

When I walked in, I saw the delicacy on a few pieces, and deliberately asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Yao Ronghua smiled and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine made a few snacks, and the Zhengqing sisters tasted it!" If the Queen Mother doesn't dislike it, please sit down and use some together, right? ”

The Queen Mother said coldly: "Your dim sum is indeed doing well, and you can often enjoy your filial piety in the past, but it is rare recently." I said what's going on, it turns out that I kept the filial piety to the queen! ”

She didn't wait for Yao Ronghua to explain anything, she sat straight to the seat where Shen Wan was sitting, turned her head to see the cup of maple dew tea, and said, "This tea needs to be excellent three or four times, why is there only one cup?" ”

Yao Ronghua said: "The Queen Mother is right, this tea does take three or four times to be excellent, and it is snow water, so ...... Only this cup was made...... This cup is for the queen. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was immediately furious and shouted, "What? The queen can drink it, but the mourning family can't drink it? Yao Ronghua, now even you don't take the mourning family in your eyes, you ...... one by one All of them ......"

Shen Wan hurriedly knelt down in front of the Queen Mother and said: "The Queen Mother, please calm your anger, good things naturally have to be presented to the Queen Mother, this cup of tea has not been touched by the concubine, if the Queen Mother does not dislike it, please drink this cup." Although the concubine is the queen, but after all, it is not as noble as the queen mother, although the concubine holds the phoenix seal, but she still does not dare to make the decision without authorization, no matter what happens in the future, the concubine will take the queen mother as the first and dare not be arbitrary. ”

After that, she personally knelt to the side, held the cup in both hands, and went to the queen mother, presented it high, and buried her head deeply.

Seeing that she was so pious, the Queen Mother's face softened slightly, snorted lightly, and said: "It's good that you know this, you have all seen it, the queen is still so sensible, you all have to take the queen as the leader, behave properly, don't do anything to disappoint the mourning family!" ”

"Yes." The concubines bowed their heads and agreed.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly with satisfaction, took the cup of maple dew in Shen Wan's hand, took a sip gently, it was indeed good tea, and drank the whole cup of tea

After the Queen Mother left, everyone felt bored and dispersed.

Before it was time for lunch, the news of the death of the Queen Mother came.

As soon as Shen Wan heard the news, she quickly rushed to Shou'an Palace, and everyone in Shou'an Palace was terrified. Chu Xichen had already arrived there, all the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital were on standby in the palace, and the three leading imperial doctors were kneeling in front of the queen mother's bed.

Chu Xichen's face was blue, there was no tears in his eyes, and he asked the three imperial doctors sharply: "The Queen Mother's body has always been healthy, why did she suddenly die?" ”

Master Yuan replied tremblingly: "Go back...... Back to the emperor, Weichen was first decided, and the queen mother was ...... It's sudden death......"

"Sudden death? What does sudden death mean? ”

"Wechen...... Wechen doesn't know ......"

"You quack! I can't even find out the cause of the Queen Mother's death, what's the use of leaving you! Chu Xichen shouted angrily.

The Lord of the Yuan just knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Imperial Physician Sun frowned, stood up, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, forgive the ministers, please ask the emperor to retreat the rest of the people, etc., and the ministers have something to say." ”

Chu Xichen glanced at him and let the concubines who were watching the excitement retreat.

Shen Wan looked deeply at Imperial Physician Sun and said, "The people who shouldn't be there are no longer there, Imperial Physician can speak bluntly." ”

Imperial Physician Sun nodded and said slowly: "Actually, the ministers diagnosed that the Queen Mother died of poisoning. ”

Chu Xichen and Shen Wan were startled at the same time, and Shen Wan lowered her voice and said, "The stakes are very high, and the imperial doctor can't talk nonsense." ”

Chu Xichen still had a straight face, and motioned to Doctor Sun to continue, and Doctor Sun asked Grandma Yao, who was crying on the side, and almost died: "Before the Queen Mother, what happened?" ”

Mama Yao was about to faint from crying, and she couldn't speak, but the palace maid next to her who was also serving the Queen Mother said: "The Queen Mother is fine this morning, and she accepts the invitations of all the ladies in the palace in the morning, and then sits for a while, and then goes to Xianfu Palace to be lively with the ladies of the palaces, and I drank a cup of tea in the middle and didn't eat anything else, and after I came back...... The Queen Mother said that she was uncomfortable, so she lay on the bed, but after sleeping for a while, the Queen Mother suddenly shouted loudly, waiting for the slave to come, and the Queen Mother ...... She's out of breath......"

Imperial Physician Sun listened carefully, and after she finished speaking, she asked, "You mean, the Queen Mother once drank a cup of tea, right?" ”

The palace maid nodded, Chu Xichen understood a little, and said to Imperial Doctor Sun in a deep voice: "Go to Xianfu Palace, find that cup of tea, no, find that cup, if there is poison in the cup......"

Doctor Sun arched his hand: "Weichen understands." ”

The three imperial doctors went over together, and Chu Xichen suddenly noticed Shen Wan's pale face, stared at her tightly and asked, "Is Wan Wan afraid?" ”

Shen Wan was stunned, looked back fearlessly, and muttered, "What does the emperor think the concubine is afraid of?" ”

Chu Xichen didn't speak, still staring at her.

Is that gaze suspicion?

Shen Wan wanted to laugh, if that cup of maple dew was really the culprit who poisoned the Queen Mother, then ...... The person who should have been poisoned the most at the beginning was herself!

The three imperial physicians soon returned, took the cup, and told the emperor: "There is poison on the cup!" ”

Shen Wan's feet went soft and she collapsed to the ground.

Chu Xichen didn't pay attention to it, but asked with a sneer: "This cup was found in Xianfu Palace, Yao Ronghua of Xianfu Palace is a member of the queen mother's mother's family, and she has always had a deep relationship with the queen mother, what reason does she have to poison the queen mother!" ”

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, and Shen Wan sighed softly: "Because, this cup of tea was originally for the concubines to drink." ”

Chu Xichen was slightly stunned, walked to Shen Wan's side to help her up, and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

Shen Wan looked at him with a little disappointment and said: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can summon any concubine to come and confront him. ”

Chu Xichen looked at her complaining eyes, and couldn't bear it, but he still passed Concubine Ming, Shun Guifei and Chen Ronghua to come in and ask. And the answer of the three of them is almost exactly the same, that is, this cup of tea was indeed for Shen Wan to drink, but the Queen Mother suddenly came, so she drank this cup of tea by mistake.

Only then did Chu Xichen take Shen Wan in his arms, and said guiltily: "Wanwan, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." ”

Shen Wan was already cold, and said lightly: "It's okay, the most important thing is that the emperor can't let go of the murderer!" ”

Chu Xichen immediately ordered that Yao Ronghua be put on death row for treason, and his family would be exterminated together! I don't even have to go through the scenes of Gong Zhengji, because the person who poisoned her was the queen mother, and the person who almost poisoned her was the queen, so - she was extremely sinful, and it was not a pity to die!
