048 Double Poison (2)
Yi Xin took the last two different meals from the hole in the wall and brought them over to eat with Ruyi.
Although the master and servant are used to eating, the dishes sent this day are bitter gourd and bean sprouts that Ruyi has never liked to eat. She didn't have much appetite after a few chopsticks, so she also took two bites, shook her head and said: "It's almost winter, and you send such cold bitter gourd and bean sprouts, won't it hurt you to eat it?" After only a few bites of rice, he got up and sent the plate out of the hole in the wall.
I stood up, only to feel a throbbing pain in my chest, and my breathing was stagnant, as if my mouth and face were covered by a wet towel, and the whole person couldn't breathe. She was flustered in her heart, and turned around, but saw Ruyi looking like she wanted to vomit, and her face was as black as a black veil.
I knew that it was not good, and I was more and more speechless in a hurry, but I was still vigilant, and although I clenched my throat in pain, I used the last bit of strength to swing the bowl on the plate down.
Ling Yunche and Zhao Jiuxiao were full of wine and food, and they were sitting under the warm sun and picking their teeth. Zhao Jiuxiao saw that the edge of Ling Yunche's boots was worn out, and a thread was torn on the placket, and he laughed at him unconsciously: "Your childhood sweetheart little sister hasn't been here for so long, and you are like no one cares about it, no one repairs your clothes when they are torn, and no one sews them when your shoes are torn, poor one." ”
Ling Yunche rubbed his feet, remembering that the insole in the shoes was given by Ruyi, he was a little reluctant, and shrank his foot and glanced at him: "Poor Baba? It's not the same as you. ”
Zhao Jiuxiao shook his head and said, "That's different. I don't dream. Where can I think of the women in the palace, I will not look back after climbing the high branches one by one, blacker than the crow heart in the sky, I can't afford to provoke it. ”
The two were talking, but they heard the sound of the dishes breaking inside, and they were both startled, and quickly got up and asked "what's the matter" twice, but no one answered. Jiuxiao also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly opened the lock and said, "You go in and take a look, I'm guarding here." ”
Yun Che heard the sound coming from Ruyi's house, and he couldn't avoid suspicion for a while, so he hurriedly broke in, only to see that the cups and plates on the ground were in a mess, the dishes were shattered, and there were broken porcelain ballasts everywhere. Both the master and servant were lying on the table, panting, their faces frighteningly black. Ruyi still breathed, and said weakly: "Imperial Doctor...... Dr. Jiang ...... Help me! ”
Yun Che's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't know what they had eaten, so he poured a large pot of warm water on each of them first, and patted them on the back. *Very literary* Ruyi weakly pushed his hand, panting and urging, "Go!" Just go! ”
When the news reached the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the emperor was taking a heavy nap in the afternoon. Li Yu got the news, and looked at the bright yellow curtain hanging low, but it was Shen Guiren who was accompanying him, and he was a little hesitant for a while, not knowing whether he should go in and report. Just as he was hesitating, he saw that the two palace people from Yanxi Palace also hurried over, and said, "Gonggong Li, it's not good, something happened to Haiguiren." ”
At this time, Li Yu was also panicked, and he didn't care about the noble being on the side, so he hurriedly pushed the door and went in. Shen Guiren saw that he was frizzy and pushed the door in, and he was already a little displeased, so he lowered his face and said: "Li Yu, you are becoming more and more on errands, the emperor is asleep, you dare to break in like this." ”
Li Yu hurriedly said: "If you return to the noble people, something happened in Yanxi Palace, so let the servants hurry up and report back." ”
Ah Jiu was taboo that Hailan and the old master Ruyi should be good, but when he heard it at the moment, he pouted and sneered: "What can be a big deal, if the body is not good, just ask the imperial doctor, and the emperor is not a miracle doctor who can cure all diseases." I can tell you the truth, the emperor didn't sleep very well in the past two nights, and it was easy to drink the soothing soup in the afternoon and fall asleep, and now you are disturbing again, I think you have a few guts! ”
Li Yu listened to the people in the tent breathing evenly, obviously sleeping peacefully, and hurriedly kowtowed, looking timid and humble, but the voice in his mouth was a little louder: "Prudent nobles forgive sins, prudent nobles forgive sins." It's not that the slave is timid, but there is a reason for it, the cold palace came to report that the Wulanala clan was poisoned and dying, and the Yanxi Palace also said that the spices of the Hai nobles were added with mercury and cinnabar, which hurt the jade body. There have been repeated accidents in the palace, and the slaves really dare not come back to reciprocate. ”
Ah Ji beckoned the handkerchief in his hand, and chuckled: "You don't know how to distinguish between right and wrong." The Wulanala clan in the cold palace will die if they die, what is it worth, I am afraid that it will dirty the emperor's ears if I say it. As for the sea nobles, it is the imperial doctor. What can be more noble than the emperor in this world, and you can afford to disturb the emperor for such a trivial matter! ”
Li Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead in silence and lowered his head, but he had no intention of retreating. In a moment, a corner of the bright yellow five dragons piercing the cloud embroidered tent was lifted, and the emperor's voice came extremely clearly: "Li Yu, wait for me to get up." ”
The corners of Li Yu's lips raised a faint but steady smile, and his mouth agreed, and his hands and feet moved extremely neatly. Shen Guiren's expression changed slightly, and he was busy smiling and wanting to help, but the emperor's hand was blocked quietly, and he said slowly: "You kneel down." I don't have to come to me these days. ”
Ah Ji hurriedly knelt down, his eyes flustered: "The emperor forgives the sins, the emperor forgives the sins, the concubines don't know what they did wrong, and ask the emperor to speak clearly." ”
There was a cold smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and his eyes were as cold as an abyss: "Many things, you were wrong from the beginning, could it be that you were wrong from today?" ”
Ah Zhen only felt a burst of hair on her back, as if the stitches of the carefully embroidered fragrant satin on her clothes were poked on her back, with the roughness of silk threads and the sharpness of needletips, forcing her soft body. No, no, how can the emperor still know after so many years. Sure enough, the emperor said in a hesitant tone: "The matter of the cold palace is also a human life, not to mention that the Hai Guiren is pregnant with my imperial heir and dragon descendant, and you don't care about the human life and imperial heir so much?" I thought you were honest and lively, and your mind was sensitive, but I didn't think that there were so many indifferent and vicious things hidden in your heart! ”
Ah Zhen was scolded so that his knees were weak and he was paralyzed on the ground, but there were layers of surprise in his heart, it turned out that it was not for that incident. Thankfully, not for that.
The emperor asked Li Yu to put on a Shanghai-blue gold-shaped Tuanfu civilian dress for him, buttoned up the jade-colored buckle, and glanced at Ah Zhen with disgust: "Go out!" ”
Li Yu just smiled deferentially, and watched Ah Ji help the palace maid Xinyan stumble out, and couldn't help but glance at the emperor with admiration. After serving the emperor for so many years, he didn't know the emperor's temperament, and he knew better than others what it was under the favor of Shen Guiren over the years. The emperor's disgust, which he is willing to reveal today, is too late.
He then asked respectfully: "Then where will the emperor go first?" ”
The emperor's eyebrows were slightly stunned, and he said, "Naturally, it's Yanxi Palace." ”
There was chaos in the Yanxi Palace, and Hyland cowered in the corner of the bed in fear, crying profusely, refusing to touch anything. The palace people knelt on the ground, and the emperor walked in from the crowd, hugged her, and said gently: "What's wrong?" ”
Ye Xin knelt down closely, and said: "Your Majesty, since the last incident, our little master has been careful enough, and he has sent people to carefully check the diet, who knows that when the slave maid wanted to pour the incense ashes in the incense burner today, he found that there were some foreign objects in it." The slave didn't dare to slack off, so she asked the imperial doctor to take a look, only to find out that someone had mixed cinnabar into the little master's benzoin. ”
The emperor's expression was so ugly that he almost burst, and said coldly: "Find out who did it?" ”
Hailan whimpered and fell into the emperor's arms, crying so that her sideburns were messy, and a few small pink beads scattered between her hair made her look more and more haggard, and she couldn't bear to see it.
The emperor was furious, patted her on the shoulder soothingly, and said, "Don't be afraid, I will definitely investigate it thoroughly, and no one will hurt you again." ”
Hailan sobbed and said: "That person deliberately framed the imperial heir, the concubine palace has already taken precautions, and she dares to poison in another way, which is really bold." Your Majesty, you tell your concubines, who is going to harm our children? Who is it? ”
The emperor said softly: "Fortunately, the maid next to you found out early, but you shouldn't worry about it while you're pregnant, and I will hand over this matter to Li Yu to investigate." ”
Li Yu replied loudly: "Yes." The slave will definitely do his best to investigate and give an explanation to the emperor and the nobles of the sea. ”
The emperor comforted him a few words, and then said: "There are so many things in the harem, I have to go and see the queen." The restlessness of the sixth palace is also her fault. ”
Hailan was about to get up to see her off, but the emperor hurriedly pressed her and said, "You have a good rest, don't tire yourself." I'll come back to see you in the evening. ”
The palace people sent the emperor out, and when the emperor saw that there were no people from Yanxi Palace to follow, he said in a low voice: "What's wrong in the cold palace?" ”
Li Yu hurriedly said: "According to the imperial doctor's reply, it was poisoned by arsenic, but fortunately, the Wulanala clan and the Xinxin didn't use much for lunch, so the poisoning was not deep, in addition to the imperial doctor Jiang and Bin, the slave also sent two imperial doctors to keep an eye on it together, just in case." ”
The Emperor approvingly, "You have done a good job. If Yi is poisoned, there will be an accident with Hailan here, and the two are almost at the same time, so it seems that it will not be instructed by Ruyi. He sneered: "It seems that I just let out some wind, and some people can't hold their breath." It's just that I didn't expect that they couldn't hold their breath to this point, and they actually wanted to kill people. ”
Li Yu looked at the emperor's expression and said cautiously: "The emperor also thinks that these years have ...... Was she wronged? ”
The emperor's eyes were a little anxious, and his tone was still calm: "I'll go and see her." ”
Li Yu hurriedly said: "The cold palace is taboo, the emperor is golden and noble, but he can't go." ”
The emperor smiled faintly and said, "Others can go to the cold palace to kill people and set fires, but I can't even take a look?" I also went to the cold palace last time because of the fire, but this time it's just one more step inside, so what's the matter? ”
Li Yu couldn't persuade him, so he had to help the emperor get into the sedan chair and go to the cold palace.
