Chapter 40: Speculation
Two days later, Nie Yan woke up.
When Nie Yan opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yu guarding her with a haggard face, her heart softened, and she hurriedly prepared to get up.
Xiao Yu's heart that had been hanging for a long time finally let go of the moment Nie Yan woke up, and when he saw Nie Yan get up, he was busy saying, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so let's rest for a while."
"What's wrong with the concubine? It seems like I slept for a long time. Nie Yan was a little confused, she only remembered that she seemed to have had a dream for a long time, and she couldn't remember anything she had seen in the dream.
"It's nothing, the imperial doctor said you were overworked, and it's fine."
Obviously, Xiao Yu didn't want Nie Yan to know too much. He had already given a gag order to the person who heard Cao Chun say that Nie Yan was poisoned.
Especially Su Yun and Wan Hui, the two people who served Nie Yan closely, were warned several times by Xiao Yu that if anyone dared to leak the slightest rumor, they would all be executed.
Nie Yan remembered what happened to the ghost of Bamboo Frost before, and she seemed to be really worried, so she didn't doubt Xiao Yu's explanation, and said with a smile: "The concubine has bothered Your Majesty. ”
Xiao Yu saw that Nie Yan's face was as usual, and he didn't suspect it, so he said: "You slept soundly, and you couldn't even wake you up with a meal." Fortunately, I have already ordered people to prepare a lot of your favorite food, so I will send them to you. ”
When Nie Yan heard this, she found that her stomach was rumbling for some time, and she suddenly became shy, and said to Xiao Yu embarrassedly: "Let Your Majesty see you smile." ”
Xiao Yu smiled and touched Nie Yan's head, the green silk slid through his fingers like a waterfall, Xiao Yu felt that the persistence of the past two days was worth it.
After accompanying Nie Yan to dinner, Xiao Yu returned to the Taiji Palace, where Xu Lin and Cao Chun were already waiting for him in the hall.
"Cao Aiqing has contributed a lot to saving Concubine Shu this time, I said that I can make a wish for Aiqing, but Aiqing has thought about it?"
Xiao Yu asked Cao Chun with a smile, as if he was in a very good mood.
In order to develop the antidote, Cao Chun stayed in the master's medicine house, stayed up all day and night, and finally rescued Concubine Shu, and finally waited for this moment.
"Wei Chen begs Your Majesty to forgive the exile of a pair of sons and daughters of the former Imperial Hospital!"
Cao Chun knelt down and begged. He was deeply favored by Xu Chengfang, and after Xu Chengfang's death, he always wanted to save his younger brothers and sisters. This is also the reason why he would rather risk making Xiao Yu angry if he fails, and also gamble.
You must know that this drunken dream has been developed by Xu Chengfang, but it has always been claimed to be unsolvable.
Cao Chun never thought that he would surpass his master, but he always had to try to know the result.
Moreover, Xu Chengfang's death that year was obviously due to improper medication that caused the death of the palace concubine, but how could Cao Chun, as a disciple, not know that Xu Chengfang could not have made such a low-level mistake.
He only felt that the master had been framed and wronged back then. At the moment, he is just an imperial doctor, and he has no real power, so all he can do is to save the master's children first and then make plans.
Xiao Yu had long known that what Cao Chun was obsessed with was Xu Chengfang's death, and naturally he also knew that Xu Chengfang still had a pair of children outside, and when he made his promise, he knew that what Cao Chun wanted was nothing more than that.
Besides, looking at Cao Chun's appearance, he didn't know what happened to Xiao Che back then, and after thinking about it for a moment, Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Xu Yuan is also doing his best for the first emperor, and even if he did, he would have been punished a long time ago." Since Cao Aiqing wanted, I approved it. Later, someone will preach the message. ”
When Cao Chun heard this, he burst into tears with excitement and choked up: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”
Xiao Yu smiled: "Cao Aiqing is exempt. Presumably, Aiqing has been tired of working for the pharmaceutical industry so far, and she has not closed her eyes, so she should go back to the house to rest early, so as to prepare to pick up Xu Yuanzheng's children. ”
Cao Chun nodded again and again, his wish for many years was finally fulfilled, he wanted to hurry back and clean up the room, and wait for his junior brother and sister to come back, and he didn't know that his junior sister was okay, but she was okay?
After Cao Chun left, Xu Lin said to Xiao Yu worriedly: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that there is something strange about what happened back then. ”
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You also noticed it?" ”
"The slave thinks that even if Cao Chunqing is better than the blue out of the blue, he will not be able to solve the incondotable poison made by Xu Chengfang in just one day."
Xu Lin looked at Xiao Yu's expression and said cautiously.
"Yes, Xu Chengfang was not an incompetent person back then, otherwise the first emperor would not have specially picked him to make poison for that person. Emperor Xian, in the end, the most beloved is the lawless eldest son! He only has that slut and the son of a slut in his eyes, what am I in his eyes? My mother, in his eyes, what is it?! ”
Xiao Yu sneered, unconcealing his resentment towards the first emperor.
Xu Lin was so frightened by Xiao Yu's anger that he didn't dare to say any more. He knew that Xiao Yu had already guessed that there might be something wrong with Xiao Che's death back then.
Xiao Yu was so angry that he crushed the tea cup in his hand, and the broken porcelain piece pierced into the palm of his hand, and soon bright red blood flowed down, Xiao Yu was unconscious.
Xu Lin hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wrapped Xiao Yu's hand, and was about to ask the little eunuch guarding outside the hall to ask for a royal doctor, but was stopped by Xiao Yu.
"You don't need to call the imperial doctor, I can still stand this injury. Can you find out how the poison got to Concubine Shu? ”
Xiao Yu calmed down and asked.
Xu Lin was nervous about Xiao Yu's injury, but he didn't dare to slack off and said: "The slave has checked, and the poison was smeared on the glass cup given to Concubine Shu by His Majesty, and Concubine Shu used the glass cup before something happened." ”
"Can you find out who did it?" Xiao Yu said with a stern expression.
"It was a little palace maid from Beichen Palace who poisoned her, and the slave went one step late, and the person had already committed suicide by taking poison." Xu Lin said worriedly.
Xiao Yu's face turned cold when he heard this: "There have been so many things in the palace recently, and everyone can commit suicide by taking poison before you, Xu Lin, you are going back more and more!"
Xu Lin broke into a cold sweat and said busily: "Your Majesty forgives me, the slave found a little clue in that palace maid." ”
"Tell me about it."
"That palace maid has a golden step in the palace that only those above the concubine can hold. This kind of golden step shake is uniformly produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I think it should be the benefit that the palace maid received. But it hasn't had time to melt yet. Xu Lin replied.
Xiao Yu knew that the masterminds behind the scenes were likely to be the concubines next to his pillow. But the drunken dream of death is said to have disappeared a long time ago, except for Xu Chengfang, no one knows the formula.
Besides, if you want Nie Yan's life, why use this kind of troublesome poison, wouldn't it be easier to directly replace it with Heding Hong?
But what if the purpose of the people behind the scenes is not to kill Nie Yan, but to convey a certain meaning to Xiao Yu?
For example, drunkenness and dreams of death are not inexplicable......
Thinking of this, the worry in Xiao Yu's heart became heavier and heavier, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly instructed Xu Lindao: "Go to Xuansu Qingyu and enter the palace quickly!" ”
