The emperor was not in the mood to gossip today, he pointed to Lin Yuan and said, "I have already found out about the fetal movement of Concubine Hui. He turned around and ordered, "Imperial Doctor Wu, you come and tell them." ”

Imperial Physician Wu stepped out from among the attendants beside the Queen Mother, bowed his head and saluted the concubines, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why Concubine Hui Niangniang fainted and moved was because she inhaled a mixture of benzoin, quinoa, and purple bamboo pollen near Changle Palace. The fragrance of resting is slightly bitter and is not liked by everyone, but because it has the effect of calming the nerves, some people in the palace also use it. Quinoa, which is slightly toxic, is mostly used in medicinal materials, but it is expensive. The purple bamboo, on the other hand, blooms and produces pollen in spring, and only the purple bamboo is planted near the Changle Palace in the palace. ”

The concubines listened to him talk, but most of them didn't understand, and looked at him with puzzled expressions. Imperial Physician Wu continued to explain: "If the three things of benzoin, quinoa, and purple bamboo are separated, there will be nothing wrong with them. But if it's mixed together...... The pollen of purple bamboo will volatilize the toxicity contained in the quinoa itself, becoming highly toxic like arsenic. But this poison is only solid, and if you want to use it to harm people, you need to put it in food like arsenic. If benzoin is mixed with the two, the toxins penetrate deep into the spice, and the smell of benzoin becomes poisonous. ”

"Compared to poisoning food, the use of spices is obviously much more clever. When Wei Chen was studying outside the palace in his early years, he had seen a family of poison doctors use a similar method to make highly toxic spices, killing people and invisible. ”

"There are not many things that Weichen found in the purple bamboo forest, and they are all buried in the soil, thinking that the villain is afraid of being discovered, so he does not dare to poison a large number of people. But the dosage is not too much to say less and not too much, those things are buried near Changle Palace, and after a long time, people nearby will be poisoned, and its symptoms are increasing drowsiness, fatigue, rapid heartbeat, and finally fainting and sudden death inadvertently. Such symptoms are very similar to some heart and lung diseases, and even if they are poisonous, many imperial doctors cannot find the root cause of the disease in a short time. ”

"As for Hui Concubine Niangniang, she didn't stay long near the purple bamboo forest, but it caused fetal movement and syncope, just because Niangniang was pregnant, had a special physique, and was more likely to be poisoned. In addition, people who are old or infirm will be more seriously injured than ordinary people. ”

Even though the emperor had heard these reports a long time ago, when Imperial Doctor Wu said it again today, he was still so angry that the green tendons on his forehead burst out. He patted the armchair and said in a cold voice, "You all heard it!" Such a vicious method, this is to murder the Queen Mother of Great Qin, the Queen Mother of Me! ”

The concubines below were all pale with fright at this time, and many of them couldn't come back to their senses, I don't know how this matter could have escalated from murdering the emperor's heir to murdering the queen mother. The emperor's eyes scanned down sharply: "Today you are all here, you tell me who is hiding the three things that Imperial Doctor Wu said!" He raised his hand again and ordered: "Yao Fusheng, you lead people down and go to the Sixth Palace to search the palace, and don't let go of any place." ”

Suddenly, a crowd turned on their backs. The crime of poisoning the Queen Mother was such a big crime, and it was a copy of the Nine Clans, and many concubines knelt down on the spot and shouted: "It's not a concubine, it's not me!" The emperor can go and search my palace, there is no such thing...... and the somewhat clever person knows to sit quietly and not say a word.

Searching the palace was a humiliating thing, but at this time, the concubines were too frightened, and in order to save their lives, they were willing to turn their house upside down to prove their innocence.

The emperor looked at the fear of the concubines, and his face was filled with cruel murder. Yao Fusheng had already led a large number of royal forest soldiers and people in the imperial palace to search in various palaces, and the concubines who stayed in Changle Palace were not stable. The palace maids and eunuchs of the masters were dragged out directly to pick up their clothes, and the masters could not be offended, but they were also asked to take off all the ornaments on their bodies, and an elderly grandmother sniffed them with her nose in front of them.

It's hard to find, but it's not difficult. Quinoa may be difficult to detect, this substance is mostly used to treat "beriberi", which is vitamin B1 deficiency, and is a typical disease of wealth caused by not eating whole grains. There are not many palace concubines who suffer from this disease, and they use it a lot. But benzoin is much rarer, it has a bad taste, it is not popular in aristocratic circles, and it is only used by those who really can't sleep well, or who have a strange personality and like bitter tastes.

The emperor couldn't find out after checking for a long time before, the main reason was that Lin Yuan didn't cooperate.

Now that Lin Yuan has cooperated, it is not difficult to find out who has benzoin, and then check who has been to the purple bamboo forest of Changle Palace recently, and the results will come out.

was searching, and suddenly a little palace maid in the crowd knelt down with a thud, and was kicked by two grandmothers with her knees.

When Tuoba Hong heard the sound, he immediately looked over, and a grandmother held a purse in both hands, stepped forward and knelt in front of the emperor, and reported: "This is benzoin, which was found on this palace maid." ”

Tuoba Hong nodded and said coldly, "Let's go to the side first." Immediately, several attendants with knives stepped forward and twisted the palace maid, stuffed a handkerchief in her mouth by the way, and escorted her to kneel outside the crowd. The little palace maid was already trembling like chaff in fright, her mouth was gagged, and she couldn't even shout grievances, and she whimpered and collapsed on the ground.

Benzoin alone was not enough to convict, so the emperor did not immediately send her to the Penal Division. After this little palace maid, several people were found benzoin one after another, and they were all tied up and kneeling. Among them, there are two concubines, one Mu Meiren and one Liu Jieyu, and the two of them are also scared, but they are not tied up.

After a while, the people around Yao Fusheng also came back to say goodbye. Every word that came out of the mouth of the inner prisoner made the concubines tremble—benzoin was found in the side hall of Wanchun Palace, benzoin was found in the apse of Yanqing Palace, and Zhao Shuji of Xianfu Palace had been to the Purple Bamboo Forest......

In the palace room that was named, all the concubines and masters knelt down, and Liang Cairen, who lived in Yanqing Palace, couldn't bear it, and cried on the spot, "It's not me." Tuoba Hong looked at her a little irritably, and Zhao Shuyuan, the main seat who was kneeling together, hurriedly went over and grabbed Liang Cairen, and reprimanded: "In front of the holy driver, how can you lose your honor!" You just kneel honestly, we are not afraid of shadows, the emperor is aware of everything, will he wronged you! ”

Liang Cairen didn't dare to cry anymore, as soon as the sound stopped here, he heard a "bang" over there, and another concubine fainted.

The harem of Great Qin can be described as a mess.

Such a large-scale search will not yield results in a short period of time. The emperor summoned all the concubines to Changle Palace, just for the convenience of searching the palace, for fear that they would be prepared in their own palace to hide from the world.

After the six palaces were searched, Tuoba Hong ordered those named concubines or subordinates to be grounded, and the criminal department would be in charge of the review tomorrow. Those who were not implicated shouted for happiness, and those who were grounded were in a state of panic.

The palace is no better than elsewhere, it doesn't mean that if you don't do it, you will be innocent.

Most of the people who were given death were implicated in some way.

The Queen Mother didn't have too much expression on her face, looking at these concubines struggling to survive like ants under her eyes, her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water. After a while, she said to everyone: "Those who have not been grounded should be dispersed now, and it is not appropriate to make trouble here." ”

When the concubines heard of the amnesty, they scattered one after another, and those who were grounded were like ashes and cried incessantly.

A terrible bloody storm has once again begun.

***

After the concubines left, Lin Yuan and Tuoba Hong didn't stay long, and soon the two left together.

There was such a major event as the murder of the Queen Mother, Tuoba Hong was uneasy, and took Lin Yuan to Jianzhang Palace for dinner together. During the banquet, he said to Lin Yuan with emotion:

"Maybe you're really the lucky star of our Tuoba family. If it weren't for the fact that you were pregnant and happened to go to Changle Palace, the queen mother and others would not have been able to discover the existence of the poison at all, and it would have been unknown if it would have caused a catastrophe in the long run. ”

Tuoba Hong is not a person who believes in fate, otherwise he would not have done such an intolerable thing as an exaggeration and usurpation of the throne.

But now he feels from the bottom of his heart that Lin Yuan is a fairy.

Well, she is a woman who has been blessed by God by his side.

Lin Yuan looked at him with a pious look, and whispered two words in his heart: "Hehe." ”

The harvest of this matter was so great that even Lin Yuan was a little surprised. Murdering the queen mother is a big deal, and it is not at the same level as murdering the emperor's heir. used the power of the emperor and the queen mother to investigate this matter thoroughly, and the real murderer who wanted to kill her would be unable to escape even if he was capable. And once that person is found out, according to this big crime, the Nine Clans, Ling Chi, and Che Crack, the most tragic end in the world is waiting for her.

If you dare to harm her Lin Yuan's child, you will have to bear this price!

Moreover, in this way, since this matter was directed at the Queen Mother, Lin Yuan instead blocked the disaster for the Queen Mother. The crisis of offending the Queen Mother was quietly resolved, and the two big bosses of the Emperor and the Queen Mother would also hold her to the sky and spoil her.

As for how she moved her hands and feet-

The bag of things that Imperial Doctor Wu sprinkled in the purple bamboo forest was quinoa.

The real murderer just buried a benzoin in the purple bamboo forest. Bamboo is cold, benzoin is similar to modern catalysts, burying it in the soil and mixing it with purple bamboo pollen, the aroma it emits is smelled by people like eating purslane and other cold things, it is a taboo for pregnant women.

But add one quinoa......

The effect is similar to that of arsenic.

Add one thing, and the nature of the matter changes radically.

What Lin Yuan has to do now is to set up a stage at the door of his house, watch the play in a leisurely manner, and see which unlucky guy was punished by the Nine Clans in the end.
