Chapter Fifty-Three: I Don't Know the Height of the Earth

Tang Han ordered Ah Lu to quietly buy an identical teapot, and the one who was drugged was dug a pit by Tang Han and buried it. Han Wenya's side, since she let Ah Hong give the medicine, she didn't let Ah Hong deliberately pay attention to Tang Han's movements. As soon as Ah Hong finished taking the medicine, she went to Han Wenya to get the silver, and Han Wenya asked her, "Where did you put the medicine?" ”

"I know that the second lady will let Ah Lu fill the pot of water in the house every night and she will drink it at night, so I put it in the pot of boiling water in advance."

"Did you see her pour water into the teapot?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

"Where's the rest of the water in the pot?"

"It's been poured out, and the pot has been washed so that it won't leave a trace."

"You quietly observe for two more days, and then come over to get the silver, and see if Han Zijin has drunk the water."

After Ah Hong returned from Han Wenyana, she quietly asked Tang Han if he had drunk the water in the pot last night. A maid told her: Of course she drank it, and the young lady had to drink water every night. In the morning, I still carried the kettle to make tea, and there was only a little bit left in it. Ah Hong was happy in her heart after hearing this, she finally didn't do it in vain. At night, she quietly went to find Han Wenya.

"Why are you here again?"

"Third Miss, I asked about the water, and the second miss did drink it yesterday, so I can give my silver."

"Qiu Ju's silver is given to her."

"You can take the money and leave, don't stay in the mansion any longer, you will die if you are discovered."

"I know."

Ah Hong went back to pack her baggage, and she went out of the house while it was dark. She told the porter that her mother was seriously ill and would go back for two days, and the porter let her go. She ran away from the house, ran half the street to find a family with a carriage, hired a carriage, and went out of the city. She was not afraid of being robbed on this big night, and the person who drove the carriage sent her to a village and went back with the money. Ah Hong got out of the carriage and found her aunt's house in the dark.

Tang Han knew that Ah Hong would go, but she wouldn't chase her. Even if she caught Ah Hong in this matter, she wouldn't recruit Han Wenya out, so it wasn't interesting to arrest her back. Even if it was the meaning of the book, she didn't want to change it.

The princess lived a good life, eating, living, and drinking. The prince's side concubines and other concubines were all very red when they saw it. A concubine who didn't know the height of the sky, in the name of going to see the crown princess, quietly sprinkled the flowers in the princess's house with medicinal powder that was extremely unfavorable to pregnant women. The Queen Mother has arranged a medical woman beside the crown princess, and if others can't smell the medicine, they will naturally not be able to smell the medicine. But the doctor girl has been learning all kinds of drugs since she was a child, and she is very sensitive to the smell of medicine, especially in the palace over the years that she is very familiar with some medicines. She brought the boiled tocolytic medicine to the crown princess, and as soon as she entered the room, she smelled a slight smell. She asked, "What kind of incense did you order?" ”

"What's the matter, I didn't let people light incense, that smell is not good for the fetus."

"There's a smell in the house."

"What does it smell like?"

"It's a medicine that tastes like medicine, and it's extremely bad for the fetus in your womb."

The handkerchief in the hand of the crown princess fell to the ground in fright: "What? So what if I stay in the house all the time in the afternoon and don't go out? Will the fetus be okay? Female medical officer, please show this palace quickly. ”

"Rest assured, this medicine won't be okay for a while, and it won't work for a long time. To be on the safe side, I'll take your pulse first. ”

"The pulse is normal, and it's fine."

"I want to ask Niangniang, who has been here today?"

"The side concubine, and the new concubine of the crown prince."

"What did she do here?"

"It's to talk to this palace and send some things. I let the girl put it in the storeroom. Oh. By the way, the concubine said that the flowers in my house are very beautiful and smell fragrant. ”

After listening to this, the imperial doctor walked to the place where the flowers were released, squatted down and smelled the smell of the flowers, and sure enough, it was on the flowers. She reached out and pinched the leaves of the flower, which had a fine layer of powder on them. She dipped a little of her hand in her nose and sniffed it. Seeing this, the crown princess asked, "What's wrong with the female doctor?" ”

"Yes."

"Could it be that the flower was powdered?"

"It's exactly what the mother thinks."

"Someone came to bring the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who delivered flowers."

"Don't worry, it's been a few days since this flower was delivered, but I only smelled it today, which means that someone sprinkled the medicine today."

"That's the side concubine today, or the concubine?"

"It must have been one of them."

"Okay, in the name of coming to see me, you want to hurt me. Someone came quickly to tell the prince about this, and asked him to come over quickly. ”

The prince was in the palace with his teacher discussing the disaster in the northwest, and as soon as he talked about the people's complaints, the subordinates came in to disturb them. The prince was annoyed: "What are you doing here?" ”

"It was the crown princess who asked the servants to come over, and she said that someone sprinkled medicinal powder on the flowers in her palace and wanted to harm her."

"Sprinkle the powder, how is she?"

"The doctor said, the powder has just been sprinkled for a short time, and it's not a big deal."

"Who did that?"

"Today, Concubine Li and the new concubine went to the crown princess."

His teacher said on the side: "Your Highness, let's go back and deal with the matter of the crown princess first, and then come over to discuss the disaster." ”

"Teacher, then I'll go back first." The prince said goodbye to the teacher and went back. When he came to the palace of the crown princess, the princess threw herself into his arms and cried, saying, "Your Highness, someone is trying to harm your child. ”

"Don't cry, I'll find out. Someone came to bring Concubine Li and Concubine Zhu over. ”

As soon as the guards heard that they were not invited, they went to the courtyard of the two and brought people without saying anything. Concubine Li asked, "Your Highness, what mistake did I make, you let people treat me like this." ”

"Kneel down and say who sprinkled the powder on the flowers in the princess's house. Now I don't say that I won't be able to live when I find out. ”

Concubine Li collapsed on the ground in fright: "Your Highness, it's not me, I don't have the guts."

Concubine Zhu also followed in fear: "Your Highness is not me. ”

"Both of you say it's not you, doctor, how do you know who it is?"

"Your Highness, I have a way, the person who took the medicine must still have the smell of medicine on his body, presumably the person has not changed his clothes yet, I will smell it."

"Go."

"Yes."

The female doctor came between the two, and Concubine Zhu's face turned pale. The female doctor sniffed on Concubine Li, and then on Concubine Zhu, and then returned to her position just now and stood.

"Your Highness, the person who drugged is Concubine Zhu."

Concubine Zhu knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, it's not me, it's me..."

"Come on, punish her, when to say when to stop."

Concubine Zhu knew the pain of the execution, and she shouted loudly: "I said I, I said." It's the powder I sprinkled on the flowers, and I don't want the princess to give birth to a fetus. ”

"Why?"

"I don't want Your Highness to go to her every day to see her, since she was pregnant, Your Highness, you don't come to me, it's all because of her..."

When the crown princess heard this, her angry teacup fell on Concubine Zhu: "I'm pregnant with a child." Shouldn't Your Highness come to see me? You vicious woman. ”

"Come and pull it out, don't stay."

The concubine came to the prince's feet on her stomach and pulled his feet and shouted, "Your Highness, Your Highness spare my life." ”

"If it's something else, I can let you live, but it's not negotiable." The prince kicked her away. The concubine was forcibly dragged out by the eunuch, and her life was lost because of a stupid thing.
