"Red blood seals the throat?" In front of Aunt Bitong, of course, Wanying couldn't reveal that she knew about this poison, so she pretended to be surprised.

"The red blood throat seal is red powder, and this ginseng is colorless and tasteless, and it doesn't look like it?"

Wanying looked at the lotus-colored ginseng all over her body, and it was indeed not red, but the silver hairpin turned black when she put it on it, and she didn't understand it in her heart, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"A person who has been killed by red blood and sealed his throat is not like other poisons that will bleed from the seven orifices and turn the bones black. There was no flaw in the corpse, and even the coroner could not detect it. Only the deceased himself knew that he could not breathe before he died, as if he had been choked by the throat. The poison itself is a red powder, so it is called red blood to seal the throat. ”

The newly added charcoal fire was rekindled, and the room was devoid of the shade it had just had. The stakes are so high, Wan Ying didn't dare to say much, she just listened to Aunt Bitong.

"The ginseng is only poisonous and not stained with red, but the snow is stained with red...... What's going on here? ”

Wanying only dared to think faintly in her heart: The food in the palace is tested for poison, and the concubine may not drink the poisonous ginseng into her stomach. This doesn't look like poisoning the concubine, but like blaming the concubine.

Aunt Bitong also thought about it for a long time, how did this poison get on ginseng?

"Ginseng, red-dyed snow ......," Aunt Bitong muttered to herself in confusion.

The more Wanying thought about it, the more worried she became, and she already deeply felt that the person who poisoned her wanted to blame the concubine. looked at Aunt Bitong hesitating with the ginseng box. Wanying shouted softly: "Auntie......"

"I thought of it!" Aunt Bitong suddenly lit a lamp in her eyes, and said brightly: "It's the interlining, it's the lining in the ginseng box." You see that the outside of the ginseng box is non-toxic. As he spoke, he tore off the three pieces of silver tied around his waist, pinched the ear digger, and rubbed it back and forth on the ginseng box.

This time, the white fungus digging did not turn black at all. This shows that the outside of the ginseng box is non-toxic.

"You see there is no problem on the outside of this ginseng box, so the poison is inside the box, and this lining is red, just enough to cover the color of the red blood throat."

Aunt Bitong said that she still took the white fungus digger and gently placed it on the lining cloth inside the ginseng box.

Sure enough, this time the white fungus digging was directly from the beginning to the end, and the toxicity was more violent than the previous two times.

Wanying was so frightened that she sat directly on the bed, and she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Such a vicious and sinister mind, Wanying has never seen it. In the past, in her own home, several aunts were also noisy and awkward, but it was the first time Wanying encountered poisoning. And the hand is so ingenious, Wanying can't believe it.

Frightened and panicked, Wanying is a little masterless. When I looked up, I saw that Aunt Bitong was not panicked, and she did not change her color. Still put the ginseng in the box as before.

Wanying was panicked, but she was still worried about what she was worried about: This ginseng is given to the concubine, and it is about the concubine, if the concubine uses this ginseng, won't she die? When I think of this, I can no longer be silent.

"Auntie, the concubine is in danger."

Aunt Bitong listened to Wanying's words and still didn't panic. Wanying was a little puzzled, but she only heard Aunt Bitong say softly: "It's not dangerous, it's just one more trouble." It's a good means to kill people with a knife like this! ”

"It's just trouble...... Wan Ying was worried that in case someone wanted to attack the concubine, it was not such a simple matter as trouble.

Aunt Bitong saw Wanying's thoughts, and said calmly: "The concubine eats fasting and recites Buddha, and she doesn't ask about the world, and everyone in the palace knows it." What's more, this ginseng has been cultivated into a human form, and the concubine will not eat it as a sin. Therefore, this poisonous ginseng will never enter the belly of the concubine. ”

She was originally standing, but when she said this, she sat down again in front of Wanying, and said slowly: "Since I lived in this Rongshou Palace with my concubine, it has been almost ten years, and my concubine is not in good health, and when the four seasons are unhappy, I always have to drink ginseng soup for maintenance, and my concubine's share has not had a few decent whole ginseng throughout the year." Our concubine said that she didn't need it, and she would waste it in vain, so if she had ginseng, she would definitely send it to Chang Xitang. There are people who know about it. ”

Listening to Aunt Bitong's theory, Wanying relieved her worries just now, and said openly: "Could it be that the person who poisoned the concubine knows that the concubine does not eat ginseng, and he always sends it to the concubine, so this poison is aimed at Concubine Liu?" ”

After the call, Wanying also regretted it a little, and forgot all the explanations of her father and mother before leaving.

"Eighty percent is like this, borrow the concubine's hand and hand them to the concubine, leave them clean, if the east window incident, in turn can blame the concubine, but bring one more. It's a clever ploy. ”

Wanying felt in her heart that the concubine was in a humble position, and she was already terminally ill and had not had much time, not to mention that in addition to the queen mother in the harem, the most prominent one was the noble concubine. I don't know if it will be for the noble concubine?

"Auntie, Wanying is still a little worried about the concubine, after all, the concubine has a prominent status......"

"Wanying's heart is the concubine, and my aunt knows it, my aunt has asked countless people and knows your innocence. If I don't tell you, you will definitely not be at ease in your heart, Rongshou Palace is short of manpower, and my aunt will treat you as a confidant. ”

"Why is my aunt so sure of Wanying?"

Aunt Bitong took Wanying's hand and said undoubtedly, "It's not wrong." ”

"Auntie, rest assured, what I said today will never be passed on. It's just that it's just so dangerous, why isn't my aunt worried about the safety of the concubine. ”

"It's a long story, you just need to understand it in your heart, no one in the palace can harm our concubine. Uninhabited. ”

Aunt Bitong stopped here, and Wanying didn't dare to ask deeply. Lowering his head to look at the flames in the basin, the tassels on the blown skirt kept swaying.

"Our concubine is the first emperor's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Li, and her mother's younger brother, Wending Gong*. The status is unmatched. Aunt Bitong said.

At this point, it is no longer more obvious. Concubine Guigui is the daughter of the Duke of Yipin, and the father of the current Queen Mother was only a six-rank imperial doctor before entering the palace. The disparity in status can be imagined.

"This Wanying knows a little bit."

Aunt Bitong said: "Emperor Taizu died, and the Empress Dowager touched the coffin and died. The first emperor was grateful to his biological mother and treated the Li family well, and later the concubine was the concubine of the second grade when she first entered the palace, and the entire harem was eyed by it at that time. ”

"In order to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics, our dynasty imitated the Han system, and the biological mother of the new emperor had to be martyred, so as to check and balance. The feat of Empress Dowager Li is also recorded in the "Women's Rules" of our dynasty. ”

"Yes, Emperor Taizu always lamented the slack of government affairs in the previous dynasty and the people's lack of livelihood, all because of the mutual conflict between his relatives and the imperial party. The Empress Dowager and Emperor Taizu have a deep love for a lifetime, and they have long known Taizu's thoughts, Taizu can't bear to let the Empress Dowager be buried, and the Empress Dowager sees Taizu driving west, how can she survive in the world? Taizu's kindness, the disputes of his mother's family, and the coercion of the imperial party, the empress dowager really can't bear the dilemma of her own son and country in the future. So on the day of the funeral, he touched the coffin and died. ”

Hearing Aunt Bitong's sentence 'I can't bear to have a family and country dilemma in the future', Wanying said very movingly: "People often say that father's love is like a mountain, don't you know that love is like a sea and a mountain." ”

The harem struggle, the more prominent the status, the more precarious, since the noble concubine is very prominent, how can she be alone and stable? There are too many Wanying in the middle of this, and she can't say it to Aunt Bitong.

Aunt Bitong had reservations between her words, and seeing that Wanying seemed to have doubts, she said briefly: "The first emperor once said that it is just a matter of martyrdom for the empress dowager of the Li family, and if Shuqin has an accident, the first emperor will not give up even if he goes to the underworld." ”

At this point, Wanying finally came to her senses. The first emperor's oracle is the talisman of the noble concubine, so the noble concubine has been prominent for so many years and has stood tall in the palace. I wonder if a woman in the world can be loved by such a man, and she has no regrets in this life.

"After the death of the first emperor, the concubine wanted to die several times, if it weren't for the young age of the nine kings, she would have left with the first emperor a long time ago. Today's Qing Xiu also started at that time. ”

"I see." Asking what the love of the world is, only let people follow life and death. Wanying sighed, it turned out that the emperor's harem also had such a deep and righteous love.

"The ginseng thing should not be for the concubine, but it is also a trouble. The girl doesn't have to worry too much about the concubine, the girl is happy and sad today, and she is in a trance when she thinks deeply, so take a break. ”

Aunt Bitong took the box of poisonous ginseng and left Wanying's house. Leaving Wanying to face the blazing stove, she was dumbfounded.
