Chapter 183: One Corpse, Two Lives

Wei Qingqing scolded her mother with some annoyance!

This feeling of knowing that someone is going to dig a pit to plot against her, but she doesn't know where the pit is digging is really unpleasant!

At this time, the palace maid next to the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan suddenly came and said that the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan invited her to come over.

After Wei Qingqing arrived, the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan pointed to a few plates of pastries on the small table, and motioned for Wei Qingqing to taste them, "This is a newly developed pastry in the small kitchen, I heard that I learned the Ji family's method of making longevity peaches, and added medicinal materials to the pastry to replenish qi and nourish the body, how do you taste it." ”

Wei Qingqing twisted a piece of osmanthus cake made into the shape of a plum blossom and put it in his mouth, and when he bit it gently, there was a faint medicinal fragrance spread between his teeth, but it would not rob the taste, only making his mouth fragrant and his appetite increased.

She praised it without hesitation: "It is both appetizing and medicated, and the taste is also very delicious, which is really good." ”

"The mourning family also feels good," the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan said with a smile, and after speaking, she pointed to a few other plates of pastries and instructed: "The niece and granddaughter of the mourning family are suffering from joy and harm these days, and they are looking for appetizing food ...... everywhere."

"The mourning family asked the imperial doctor who came to invite the peace pulse before, and he said that the pregnant woman can also eat this pastry, and the mourning family wants you to send a few dishes to Changchun Palace for the mourning family, and take the pulse for the monkey by the way!"

"You don't have to let the small kitchen do it again, anyway, these mourning families can't finish eating, pick a few plates and pack them in food boxes and send them to her," Empress Dowager Xiaoduan also heard that Concubine Zhao Guifei summoned Wei Qingqing to take the pulse and have a baby, so she remembered to ask Wei Qingqing to also give her niece a pulse, "You are not allowed to shirk!" The mourning family knows that you are very good at securing the woman's pregnancy, and you also protected the dragon fetus for Concubine Zhao at Tzu Chi Temple that day! ”

Wei Qingqing felt embarrassed when she heard this, and thought to herself that I was all relying on Meng!

She was afraid of being exposed, so she subconsciously shirked and said, "Niangniang, you praise it falsely!" How can the courtier's medical skills compare to the gynecological holy hand of the Tai Hospital? ”

But the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan didn't let her shirk, "Isn't it that the nephew and granddaughter of the mourning family are not as good as the concubine, don't you want to serve?" ”

"The Queen Mother, you have tormented the courtiers! It is the honor of the courtiers to be able to take the pulse of Concubine Rong and give birth to the baby, how can the courtiers shirk it? The courtiers are really inexperienced, so they don't dare to compete with the imperial doctor! Wei Qingqing thought to herself that this time she was afraid that she would not be able to escape, so she had to fool people again.

Concubine Rong is the grandnephew and daughter of the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, although she is currently six months pregnant, but she is still very happy, and there are only a few kinds of food prepared in the imperial dining room every day that can enter her mouth, so the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan will get a new pastry and want to send some to her to taste.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoduan didn't really want to embarrass Wei Qingqing, seeing that Wei Qingqing was interested, she no longer pressed her with words, and restored her kind and kind appearance and gave her a step down, "The mourning family knows that you are a good boy, and the mourning family can trust you, so they let you go and check the pulse of Concubine Rong." ”

Wei Qingqing didn't dare to shirk anymore, so she took the food box that the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan had ordered to be packed and went to the Changchun Palace where Concubine Rong lived.

Concubine Rong saw that the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan remembered her like this, and specially ordered someone to send an appetizing and beneficial pastry for the dragon fetus, so she was naturally very happy and used a pastry in front of Wei Qingqing.

Concubine Rong just wanted to taste a little bit at first to live up to the good intentions of the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, who would have thought that after using up a piece of pastry, she unexpectedly felt delicious, and couldn't help but eat a few pieces one after another, until she was happy to eat, she leaned lazily on the chaise longue and stretched out her wrist to let Wei Qingqing take her pulse.

Wei Qingqing thought to herself that Concubine Rong was a member of the Empress Dowager's mother's family, and it was impossible for the hospital not to pay attention to the dragon fetus, and she would definitely send a competent doctor to ask for peace every day, and her physical condition must be very stable, otherwise Cining Palace and Changchun Palace would not have made a fuss sooner?

She just needs to pretend to take a pulse for Concubine Rong, and say something that people can't understand in the clouds, but she feels inexplicably powerful!

Sure enough, after Wei Qingqing pretended to fool Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong did not hesitate to treat her as a miracle doctor......

Wei Qingqing finally completed the task assigned to her by the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, and after telling a random doctor on the street about the precautions for pregnant women that everyone knows, she politely got up and said goodbye.

Wei Qingqing thought that this was just a formality for her, who would have thought that not long after she returned to Cining Palace, there was a news from Changchun Palace that shocked her very much - Concubine Rong is gone, one corpse and two lives!

This news immediately made the people of Cining Palace turn their backs, and the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan personally took people to Changchun Palace, and brought Wei Qingqing, who had shown his ability to solve the mystery, with him.

As soon as Wei Qingqing entered Changchun Palace, he saw a kneeling person outside the inner hall of the palace, and Emperor Wu was sitting on the top of the inner hall with a pale face, and all the concubines of the harem were sitting or standing beside him.

Empress Dowager Xiaoduan first went to the inner room to look at Concubine Rong, who had lost her breath, and then sat down beside Emperor Wu with a calm face, and asked the palace maid kneeling below, "What is going on?" When the mourning family ordered someone to send pastries to Concubine Rong earlier, wasn't Concubine Rong still good? I heard that I used several pastries with a great appetite, why did I lose people and children in less than an hour??! ”

"The Queen Mother spares her life!" The palace maid in charge didn't know why Concubine Rong was poisoned, but when Concubine Rong died, she naturally couldn't escape the crime of dereliction of duty, so she could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

"If you can atone for your sins, the mourning family will naturally be able to surround you from dying," the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan did not immediately punish the palace maid in charge, but calmly gave her a glimmer of hope, "You tell me what happened, if there is half a word of falsehood, don't blame the mourning family for not remembering the old feelings!" ”

The palace maid in charge was relieved, and immediately said: "Concubine Rong is fine in the morning, and the breakfast and lunch used have also been seen and tested by the imperial doctor, and there is nothing wrong with the mother after using it......"

"Niangniang is the first to use the queen mother to give the pastry, and then use the lunch, after the lunch Niangniang said that she was greedy for a while, and the slave maid helped her to go to the yard to walk a few laps to eat, and then Niangniang rewarded the flowers for a while, and practiced the words for a while......"

After practicing the calligraphy, Niangniang remembered the miscellaneous notes borrowed from the imperial study a few days ago, and said that she wanted to read the book for a while and then take a nap, so she sat in front of the bookcase for a quarter of an hour. After that, the mother felt a little tired, and the slave waited for her to go to bed to rest, who would have thought that she would suddenly let out a miserable scream in the middle of her sleep......"

"The slave maid rushed over to take a look, and saw that the mother's face was like gold paper, and her body was curled up into a ball and kept convulsing, the slave and the maid hurriedly ordered someone to ask for the doctor, who thought that the doctor had not yet arrived, and the mother began to bleed from seven holes, and she lost her breath in just a few breaths!"

"The doctor later examined Niangniang's body and said that Niangniang was ...... Poisoned to death! ”

After Emperor Wu listened to the words of the palace maid in charge, his eyes swept towards her majestically, "Concubine Rong has ever eaten food that the imperial doctor has not examined?" ”
