Yuzhi brought two eunuchs over, and the dream asked the eunuchs to move the body of the palace maid and a table of food to the courtyard, and asked Yuzhi again: "This palace person is sick, where do you usually go for a consultation?" ”

"Back to the little master, when the people in this palace are sick, they all go to the medicine department to say the symptoms and take the prescription directly."

"Is there a way to bring someone who understands medicine here?"

"The slave can go to the hospital to find the doctor, but generally this high-ranking little master can only ask the doctor when he is sick, and the slave and maid are afraid that they will not move......"

"If you go, you will call the mother who is sick, and don't say which mother, let's take a look at what kind of poison this is, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it after a long time."

Yuzhi left, and the dream went to the courtyard to check the corpse again, she wiped the white foam on Cuilan's mouth with a handkerchief, but found that Cuilan's cheeks had some faint marks.

On the other side, the emperor was having dinner in the queen's palace, and the eunuch Feng Bao beside the emperor was standing at the door.

Feng Bao hurriedly entered the house, knelt down and said that it was not good, Changchun Palace was dead.

The emperor glared at Feng Bao clearly: "What? ”

"Back to the emperor, a palace maid died, as if she misused the meal of the new lady Qin and poisoned her."

The emperor looked at the empress, but the empress was at a loss. "I'm going to see who dares to do such a thing in this Forbidden City." The two got up and hurried to Changchun Palace.

When the emperor and the empress arrived at Changchun Palace, they saw the body of the palace maid in the courtyard, the eunuchs were moving the food out of the table, and there was a girl wearing a green skirt next to the corpse, who was looking at Cuilan's face, and she was not afraid at all. Feng Bao was also stunned, and was stunned for a while before shouting: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Dream stood up and turned back in a panic, facing the emperor's eyes, and the doubts in the emperor's eyes gradually dissipated, and there were more surprises. The jade appearance of the woman in front of her instantly dimmed all the flowers in Changchun Palace.

The dream reacted, and hurriedly knelt down to salute, just now, she knew that the eunuch she bumped into on the street the day before yesterday was Feng Bao next to the emperor.

"The concubine has seen the emperor, the queen's mother."

"You get up, are you the murdered lady Qin?" The Emperor looked at her with a straight look in his eyes. If it weren't for the queen's presence, he would have stepped forward to support the dream in person.

"Back to the emperor, Lady Qin was resting in the concubine's Yixue Pavilion, and she was frightened." Dream still kept his head down, not daring to get up.

"What's going on here?" The queen covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and she couldn't stand the corpse of Cuilan in front of her.

"Back to the queen's mother, the concubine sent someone to move out Lady Qin's meals and Cuilan. In this way, it will be convenient for the doctor to come and check it for a while. ”

"Imperial Doctor? You actually hired a doctor privately? Do you know that the Imperial Doctor doesn't care about these palace people? The queen couldn't believe it, how could this imperial doctor be invited casually.

"The concubine thought that this poisonous meal belonged to Lady Qin, and the person who poisoned her must have wanted to poison Lady Qin, but she was mistakenly eaten by the palace maid Cuilan. This matter is related to the harem concubines, and the imperial doctor should be invited to come over. ”

Although the queen thought this reason was ridiculous, she did not say anything. His tone changed, and he said very softly: "Lady Zheng, you are clever and decisive, thanks to you, it saves us a lot of effort." ”

"Lady Zheng? Are you Zheng Mengjing? The emperor asked, the queen suddenly felt strange, the emperor has never asked about the harem, how did he know that there was such a person as Zheng Mengjing?

Seeing that the empress looked at him suspiciously, the emperor continued: "I heard that Feng Bao said that there was a show girl who persuaded Mama Liu beside the emperor's mother, so I inquired curiously. ”

As he was talking, Qin Xiangxiang, Li Jinghan and Wang Qiao came out, and the three of them timidly saluted the emperor and queen. Qin Xiangxiang was crying, but at this time, it is estimated that she was scared again when she saw Cuilan's body, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Chu Chu moving, which made people unbearable.

Yuzhi also arrived with a imperial doctor, and after saluting, the dream gave the dustchief that wiped the foam to the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor checked the cloth, and then examined the corpse, and then probed the soup with a silver needle, and determined: "Back to the emperor, there is a crane top red in this soup." ”

Qin Xiangxiang cried even more after hearing this, but the queen looked at her worriedly.

"Crane top red? How can there be such poison in the harem? Feng Bao! "The emperor is puzzled, such a medicine can only be obtained by the medicine department when the emperor is dying, even if the queen wants it on weekdays, she has to keep a file in the medicine department, how can others take the crane top red casually. If the pharmacy department does not keep a record, someone brings medicine in from outside the palace without permission.

"Back to the emperor, the slave will send someone to see the records of the medicine department!" Feng Bao hurriedly found someone.

The emperor looked at the corpse on the ground, and his face was hideous, and it was terrifying.

Lady Qin suddenly stepped forward and kowtowed at this time, crying: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the concubine just wants to live a peaceful life in this palace, who knew that such a thing would happen just one day after coming." The concubine really didn't want to upset the emperor and the queen because of her own body, and the concubine didn't want to pursue the matter, which made everyone uneasy. ”

"Sister Qin, if the murderer is not found, it will only arouse everyone's suspicion and uneasiness." Wang Qiao didn't agree with Lady Qin's idea, she faintly felt that Lady Qin was strange in her heart, but she couldn't say why.

"As long as the supervision of diet is strengthened, everyone will be relieved. Such an incident disturbed the emperor and the queen's mother, and presumably the traitor would not dare to commit it again. Qin Xiangxiang replied. It also makes sense, Wang Qiao couldn't think of anything back for a while, she glanced at Zheng Mengjing, who was thinking about something with her head down.

"That's it, queen, this matter is left to you, you have to worry about the meals of the harem concubines." The emperor didn't care, he glanced at Li Jinghan and Wang Qiao, "You two are?" ”

"Back to the emperor, they are Lady Wang and Lady Li, and they came to the concubine for dinner tonight, and they ran into such a thing, so they returned to the palace late." Dream replied, and his tone was full of the meaning of protecting these two people.

"Well, you have to be careful when you go back so late," the Emperor glanced at them, then looked back at the dream, "You have handled these things very well and decisively today, and I am very satisfied." ”

Zheng Mengjing didn't speak, still kneeling with his head bowed. The emperor spoke to himself, and looked around by the way: "Why are there so few eunuchs and maids in this palace?" ”

"The lady's rank is low, and according to the rules, there are so many." The queen replied.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have not been crowned nine concubines, and the few show girls who entered the palace this time are good, so I will seal the nine concubines on a certain day."

The emperor looked at the queen, then at the dream, then at Qin Xiangxiang, who was still crying, at Wang Qiao and Li Jinghan, who were kneeling and did not dare to get up, exhaled, and said, "Okay, it's all gone, go back to the palace." I also approved the folds at night, and I didn't stay in the queen's palace. ”
