Chapter 164: Cool and dewy and fragrant
"Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian, what's wrong with you?" Bi Lan hurriedly rushed in when she heard the sound, and at a glance she saw Concubine Xian who fell to the ground, her frightened heart jumped out, and her eyes bulged out and almost flew out.
Le Lan followed her and walked in, only glanced at it, and tears flowed endlessly: "Niangniang, Niangniang, how can this be like this?" As she spoke, she glanced at Concubine Chun with extremely resentful eyes: "How can this be the case, how can this be?" ”
It all came so quickly and so suddenly, Su Wanrong couldn't believe it was true. She patronized to see Concubine Xian, who was lying at her feet, looking terrifying, and didn't care to think much about who poisoned the food and plotted against her.
Gao Lingxi was the most bloodless, and with a shake of his hand, the bamboo skewers and hibiscus jasper cake fell on the brick floor. "Someone, go and pass the imperial doctor. In addition, let people test the pastries served by the pure concubine. ”
ProSlide didn't dare to move Concubine Xian without permission, so she had to kindly hold up the back of her head on the ground with both hands. Le Lan didn't have to think about it at all, and knew that Concubine Hui didn't like her mother at all, so she hurriedly held the back of Concubine Xian's head and squeezed out Bilan's hand: "Don't worry about Sister Bilan, the slave will take good care of Concubine Xian." ”
Bi Lan snorted coldly and said unhappily: "When is it, you still dare to bother with these trivial things." ”
The two little palace maids waited for the two fathers-in-law who tested the poison, and inspected the pastries presented by Concubine Chun to Concubine Hui one by one, and it happened that when this plate of hibiscus jasper cake was inspected, the silver skewers turned black, and the color of Wuwu was not bright at all.
Everyone's eyes were focused on that small silver skewer, Gao Lingxi had a grudge in his heart, but he knew that Concubine Chun's heart was not so shallow, and with a plate of poisonous pastries, she dared to blatantly send it over in person to poison it.
Although he thought so, in fact, Gao Lingxi's heart trembled, if it wasn't for Concubine Xian eating this first piece, I am afraid that it would be herself who fell to the ground at this time.
"Hui Guifei Niangniang Mingjian, the concubine really doesn't know who poisoned the pastry." Su Wanrong was so stunned that she almost couldn't close her mouth, and her mind repeatedly recalled the various details before and after the pastry. But she really didn't know what was wrong.
"Concubine Chun doesn't have to be in a hurry to argue, the merits are decided." Gao Lingxi always felt that this poisoned person must be familiar to her. Otherwise, how did she know that she liked to eat hibiscus jasper cake, and how could she calculate it so accurately, and send it over by the hand of Concubine Chun.
Could it be...... Could it be Concubine Xian's bitter ploy?
No, Concubine Xian was almost killed by her own poison, so what is she going to do? Let yourself be relieved of her suspicions? Get the emperor's attention?
I can't explain it, Concubine Xian has been deliberately avoiding favor, how could she suddenly want to come out?
Gao Lingxi couldn't tell the whirlpool in the depths for a while, and who she was going to drag into the water, but she was afraid that others would say that the trick of poisoning Concubine Xian was a good plan for her to collude with Concubine Chun, so she ordered Wang Xizi tightly: "You have long legs and fast feet, hurry up to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Changchun Palace, and invite the emperor and queen to come over." ”
Su Wanrong couldn't wait to wake up Concubine Xian, she was going to be poisoned herself, but she ate the pastry she handed to her. It's so hateful to drag others down even to die. Originally, the emperor has been very unkind to see himself recently, and the tension with the queen is even more powerful.
Who is going to hurt people at this time, and who will it be?
So looking at Concubine Xian who fell to the ground with a distorted expression, Su Wanrong became more and more frightened in her heart, because she knew that no matter who poisoned her, as long as Concubine Xian was in her hands, the emperor would not forgive her in this life. Every time I see myself, I think of the bright and radiant concubine in the past, and the death will be so tragic.
Without thinking much about it, Su Wanrong immediately knelt on Concubine Xian's side, and carefully wiped the blood from the corners of Concubine Xian's mouth with her double-sided embroidered mandarin duck silk silk, as if she couldn't wipe it clean. She was not annoyed, her hand was steady and repeated the same gentle movements, and there was no trace of panic or anxiety.
"Concubine Hui must not be frightened, the concubine sees that Concubine Xian still has breath, and there should be no danger of her life." Su Wanrong raised her face and said with a calm expression: "Niangniang, you are not alone now, no matter what happens, it is important to protect your body." ”
After thinking about it for a while, Su Wanrong felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly instructed the inner attendant standing aside: "You go and carry a screen, block it in front of the palace, and don't let Concubine Hui see Concubine Xian like this again." ”
This move is very intimate, Gao Lingxi has this intention, but the person who has no choice but to be poisoned is Concubine Xian, if she has such a request, the emperor will inevitably ask about it and will not be clever, which will make the emperor disgusted. It's better now, there is a pure concubine who is willing to think about her, not to mention a lot of worries, and people are a lot more comfortable.
"Sending someone to urge the imperial doctor again, it's really not possible, use the shoulder of the palace to carry it over. The matter is urgent, and there can be no delay, Xuelan, you go in person. Su Wanrong's face was solemn, and she changed her appearance from the delicate and gentle bird Yiren in the past, and said in an orderly manner: "Ordinary detoxification elixir, decoction or something, also go cook some for later use." Once you find out what kind of poison it is, you can directly detoxify and feed Concubine Xian. ”
Lan Xin and Hongli met outside Chuxiu Palace, and hurriedly walked in together. I heard Su Wanrong's words of response.
Hongli was very appreciative, although he heard Chen Jinzhong say on the road that Concubine Xian was poisoned after eating the cakes of Concubine Chun and respecting Concubine Hui, but he would not easily believe it. Who would blatantly poison the palace concubines with the future of themselves and the emperor's heir? Isn't this picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, because of a small loss?
"The emperor is auspicious, and the queen is auspicious." In the end, it was still Bi Lan's eyes beside Concubine Hui, and as soon as the person walked in, she immediately noticed it.
Gao Lingxi hurriedly took the hand of the little maid on the side, walked around from behind the screen, and led the pure concubine to salute together: "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an, and the queen's mother is safe." ”
Lan Xin nodded lightly at Concubine Hui, frowned, and said, "Get up quickly." Don't be polite, watch your body. ”
Hongli walked towards Concubine Xian and leaned down to look at her dark lips: "Why don't you carry Concubine Xian into the bedroom?" ”
When Concubine Chun heard this, she hurriedly relieved her doubts: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang ate the cake and then spurted blood and fainted, the concubine guessed that it was probably caused by poisoning, and the Niangniang's lips were black, and her nails were gradually showing blue, so the concubine did not dare to order someone to move Niangniang." I am afraid that the blood qi will be accelerated, and the speed at which the poison will spread all over the body will be accelerated. ”
How could the emperor not know these simple truths. Lan Xin thought that it was just a matter of concern. "It's so decent, how could Concubine Xian take a poisonous pastry? And where did the pastry come from? ”
These words were directed at Concubine Chun, and immediately relieved Concubine Hui. After all, the matter is in her Chuxiu Palace, and she is also to blame. Fortunately, the queen understands the matter and avoids the important and trivial, so why not do it if she picks up a loophole: "Back to the queen's mother, Concubine Chun sent some pastries, this hibiscus jasper cake is the concubine's favorite."
Concubine Xian was afraid that there were pear juice and other inappropriate things in pregnancy, so she tasted a small piece for the concubine, who knew that before she entered, Concubine Xian ......"
After speaking, Gao Lingxi hurriedly glanced at Concubine Chun with the tail of his eyes. It seems that the whole thing is not clear to the pure concubine, so it is safe to ask the queen to ask her.
Su Wanrong knew that the queen didn't like her, so she didn't wait for her to speak, so she argued to herself: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the pastries sent to Concubine Hui are all made by the concubines themselves. I am afraid that the taste will deviate greatly from the imperial dining room, and the concubines have tasted everything with their own mouths, which can be testified by the maids and maids in the palace and the close relatives of the concubines.
What's more, Hui Guifei Niangniang is pregnant, and she must be careful and cautious in eating, so there is no added anything in this jasper cake that damages the yin and hurts the fetus. Concubine Xian Niangniang has eaten it herself, which also verifies this. What's more, how could the concubine hold the poisonous pastry by herself and let Concubine Hui eat it. This is a heinous crime, and concubines really can't commit such a crime. ”
Hongli was silent, and his heart pounced on Concubine Xian. Her temperament has always been strong, and at this moment, her face full of pain is unexpectedly delicate as she has never been. It's really like a thin ball of cotton wool, and in a breath, it seems that she was accidentally blown away.
This feeling made Hongli's heart involuntarily hurt. His gaze was reluctant to leave Panyu's cheeks, unwilling to be disturbed by the noise in his ears to disturb his worries and anxieties. He half-squatted down and gently held Pan Yu up: "I will guard Concubine Xian, and the imperial doctor will come later, so don't delay your efforts." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lan Xin answered, looking at the emperor holding the unconscious concubine as if he was holding a fragile treasure, she only sighed in her heart. should be glad that he was not mistaken, the emperor still can't give up on Concubine Xian like this. Then, she asked Concubine Chun in a clear tone: "So, from Zhongcui Palace to Chuxiu Palace, who has touched your pastry along the way." ”
No matter who it was, Lan Xin would ask like this, and she tried not to let her judgment be affected by prejudice. Although the virtue of Concubine Chun is really problematic, Lan Xin is sure that she will not destroy her future.
"Like...... It seems that there is no one else. Su Wanrong has thought about this question more than once, but she still can't think of it: "Xue Lan and Fenglan, who have been serving her closely, are in charge of holding the pastries, and she really can't remember who else has touched her hands." And along the way, there was no delay in staying. ”
Gao Lingxi twisted her sideburns and said with disgust: "Concubine Chun said that you made this pastry yourself, and said that you tasted it one by one, and said that it was served by the maid herself, and there was no delay on the way." Then this palace doesn't understand, who else can sprinkle poison powder under your nose? Or do you deliberately put on a pitiful look, but in fact, the person who takes the risk is yourself at all! ”
