Chapter 319: Nephrite Raw Fragrance is empty and sad
The emperor had an attitude of handling the case on the spot, and Peng Ming took the lead in asking the imperial doctor: "Since all the imperial doctors have identified this poison called 'Yushengxiang', can you elaborate on it." ”
The Imperial Physicians looked at each other, and finally looked at Imperial Physician Min, this poison was discovered by you, and it should be said by you, and you should bear the responsibility.
Seeing that the head of the courtyard also nodded, Imperial Physician Min didn't care about the attitude of his colleagues, and said calmly: "Jieyuhua and Yushengxiang are not only in legends, Weichen once read a notebook, Jieyuhua and Yushengxiang are companions, produced in Nanzhao, but even if there is output, the quantity is very small, not to mention that the juice is refined and made into a poison that harms people's lives, so it is so obscure." ”
Unknown, was the mother poisoned to death by obscurity?
King Lu looked stunned, and suddenly asked a wisp of fragrance on the tip of his nose.
Imperial Physician Min is still stating: "This poison is colorless and tasteless, and it will die when it enters the throat, but as the body of the deceased gradually becomes colder, the deceased will gradually have a fragrance overflowing. Just now, Wei Chen smelled that in addition to the smell of fat powder on the concubine's body, there was also a sweet fragrance, so he dared to guess that if His Majesty and the prince wanted to be sure, please also ask for an autopsy, because according to the record, the person who was poisoned, in addition to the blood that flowed out at the beginning, the blood in the body will quickly coagulate, and it will faintly reveal a light blue. ”
The emperor waved his hand, and the two maids pulled out a screen and hid not far away to begin the autopsy.
King Lu's face turned red, and he said that the deceased was the greatest, and the mother concubine was not at peace when she died, and he wanted to suffer such humiliation, and he made up his mind that he would be ashamed today, and he would repay the poisoner a hundred times in the future.
Things are all going on simultaneously, here Peng Ming took the post-mortem to do the autopsy, and Jiang Yan over there was already in charge of the palace maid who poured the wine before the trial.
Soon the palace maid was interrogated for a round, and those who were pulled down and tortured had to wait, so it was soon the turn of the Li clan.
Jiang Yan did not miss a single person, there was an emperor in charge, and others did not dare to make a mistake, and after inquiring about the king of Chu and the princess of Chu, it was Li Qi and Shen Qiutan's turn.
Yuan Ying, who couldn't leave, stared at the two of them, and saw that there was no communication between the two eyes, and his heart was still up and down.
Because everything has changed, or rather, it has gotten out of control.
"At that time, I was toasting my father with everyone, because the amount of wine was not good, and there was still half a cup left." Shen Qiutan said slowly.
Jiang Yan nodded, and Imperial Physician Min went to check Shen Qiutan's remaining half of the wine.
"Can anyone testify?" Jiang Yan asked again.
Shen Qiutan looked at Li Qi and wanted to ask Li Qi to testify, but soon gave up, Wang Yunfei said: "I have been familiar with the Sixth Emperor's sister-in-law before leaving the pavilion, and before and after the concubine Niangniang fell at the banquet, the two of us were indeed toasting our father, and then said something casually. ”
Since it is a family banquet, their status is not low, and all their actions are under the noses of others, so there is not much to doubt. Jiang Yan nodded and continued to ask the next one.
Halfway through the question, the person who was in charge of the punishment of the palace maid in the afternoon came back, and his face was a little excited: "Your Majesty, I asked out!" The palace maid confessed. ”
The emperor hurriedly sat upright, King Lu and the others also turned around, Yuan Yingxin's heart was about to jump out of his throat, and the whole person was a little unstable.
"Who is it?" The emperor asked.
"Yes...... The maidservant of the concubine. ”
"What? You repeat, so likely? "King Lu suspects that his ears are wrong, and the concubine's palace maid killed the concubine?
"It's the maid of the concubine." The man said again and continued: "The palace maid couldn't stand the punishment and confessed to it. ”
After speaking, he found a round-bellied and thin-spouted wine jug from under the table: "This is it." ”
Peng Ming and Jiang Yan gathered over, and almost everyone's eyes gathered, so even physical evidence was available?
They looked at King Lu with an incredulous look on his face, and they also felt that it was impossible.
"This ......," the emperor pointed to the flask, "what's wrong?" Is all the wine in it poisonous? I ...... that"
"Your Majesty, don't panic, you see, this pot has a lot of mysteries." After speaking, he opened the lid of the pot, and there was still half a pot of wine in it, and Imperial Doctor Min came over to take a look: "There is no poison." ”
Then, the lid of the pot was closed, rotated half a circle, and then opened, there was still half a pot of wine inside, but it was different, and Imperial Doctor Min was surprised: "Go and catch a deer in the garden!" ”
The open calyx building was even more silent, and after a while, a young deer was brought up, and two guards pressed the fawn to pry open its mouth, and Imperial Physician Min himself poured wine into it.
One breath, one moment, but in a few blinks of an eye, the poor fawn fell to the ground, bleeding to death, the same death as the concubine.
"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, the autopsy results have come out, and it is indeed as the imperial doctor said, Niangniang's blood coagulates faster than ordinary corpses, and it is faintly blue."
The two maids came back to restore their lives, and then looked at the fawn, and the emperor was furious: "Which maid is it?" Which one? How dare you murder my concubine? ”
Peng Ming said: "Bring it up and ask the palace maid to identify it personally." ”
"My lord, the palace maid used too much torture, and she looked a little scary...... "It stands to reason that I won't bring the result of this kind of question, so as not to surprise the nobles."
King Lu didn't do it: "Bring it, bring it up!" Lone wants to interrogate in person. ”
The emperor also nodded, and after a while, a bloodstained man who could barely be seen was dragged up, and a basin of cold water was splashed, and the "bloody man" made a slight sound.
Yuan Ying's mind was full of thoughts, and he gave a look at the dark fragrance and sparse shadow on the periphery.
The palace maid is stupid, the mystery of the pot has been exposed, but it is clear that the target of poisoning is not the concubine's!
At that time, King Lu looked at the palace maid who didn't have a piece of good meat on his body, and his eyes were cracking: "Slut! Say, "Why do you want to harm my mother?" ”
"Ahem." The palace maid coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and said to King Lu: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the slave maid is wishful!" ”
"Ruyi?" King Lu was stunned: "You are wishy-washy, because my mother and concubine rely on you so much on weekdays, you actually did such a rebellious thing!" ”
Ruyi shook his head and swallowed the sweetness in his mouth: "It's not a slave, it's not a slave!" This kind of palace banquet has its own palace maid who pours wine, why do slaves and maids go to pour wine? It's really not a slave. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Ruyi said well, but King Kelu didn't understand it in his heart.
"Yes......" Ruyi hesitated.
"What is it! At this time, are you still spitting? ”
Ruyi looked at the direction of Shen Qiutan and Li Qi, and Yuan Ying's heart saw it, and his heart was half relieved.
Ruyi is very trusted by the concubine, although I don't understand why Fang Cai got the wrong goal, and the plan has been disrupted, but as long as Ruyi insists on not letting go, the matter is still done.
Shen Qiutan, who Yuan Ying pitied in his heart, was really pitiful, obviously he was not liked by his husband, but he still had to accompany his husband to die together.
