Chapter 80: Poisoning
Zong Zhengjin is indeed using actions to prove what he said that day. Go extra mile. It's not just the number of nights. Even he stayed in Guan Ju Palace almost every day. His favor for her has also reached a peak.
But despite this. The concubines of the palace complained a lot. Openly and secretly, let the queen advise the emperor to be wet with rain and dew. It's a pity that the queen used the queen mother's hope that Zhen Ronghua would give birth to an heir. sent the concubines away. It is that other people can only watch the emperor go to the Guan Ju Palace every day.
Heard. After Cining Palace heard the news. Slipped a set of fine cloisonné red coral teacups. I even heard about it. Cining Palace invited the imperial doctor twice. But rumors are always rumors. The Queen Mother will not do anything to beat herself in the mouth. Naturally, no one else will touch that mold.
Regardless of others. Su Jingxi has always been self-satisfied. The daily life is quite moist and leisurely. The queen cited her own physical discomfort as an excuse. Stopped their concubines' greetings. It was after she rolled over the sheets with Zong Zhengjin every night. You can also get a little more sleep in the morning.
It's the day. Su Jingxi sat up lazily from the bed. Glancing at the hourglass. It's the end of the hour. Cleared his throat." Listen to Yao."
Listen to Yao walk in." Master. You're awake."
"What are you talking about out there?" Just when she fell asleep. I heard something faintly discussed outside.
Ting Yao's face did not change. Walked to the side and picked up her skirt." Master. Isn't it noisy for you. The slaves and maids were just discussing what to cook for their masters at noon."
Su Jingxi responded. There is no doubt that there is him. Since the last time Zong Zhengjin made it clear that he wanted her to have a child. The minions of Guan Ju Palace were far happier than her. Mainly listen to Yao. Discuss what kind of diet to make for her three meals a day. Basically, there are no duplicate ones.
Su Jingxi is also quite cooperative. After all, she herself needs to grow her body. Moreover. If the mother is not healthy. There is also a high chance that the child will be crippled. That's definitely not what she wants to see.
"Wait for the concubine to freshen up."
Su Jingxi put on her clothes. After a simple freshening up. Sit at the dresser." What about Daiman?"
Every morning, Dai Man basically combs her hair. Now suddenly changed to Tingyao. Instead, it became a little unaccustomed.
Hearing Yao, she was surprised. Pick up that white jade floral comb on the dresser." Master's hair has always been so smooth and black. How many times did the slave and maid comb the master's hair? The master only remembers Dai Mananizi."
Su Jingxi sneered. Why should you? This concubine just asked in vain. You answered. If you don't answer this concubine, you won't be able to do anything. Where did you get so much resentment?"
"The master prefers Daiman. Slaves and maids have to complain a little after all." Listen to Yao's subordinates keep moving. But he said angrily.
Su Jingxi smiled faintly. Ok ok. Let's help my concubine go to dinner."
Rong Hua's share is different. But there are also two more side dishes. In addition, there are four dishes and one soup and two dim sum that can be eaten today. and three staple foods. Especially some of the more precious dishes. Because she is now considered a holy grace. The people in the imperial dining room also brought some ingredients every time.
Although it may be a broken rule. But as long as it's not the emperor, the queen and the queen mother. Even if others have any complaints, they won't offend her with these little things. It's all one eye open and one eye closed.
Simply after a little meal. Su Jingxi lay on the couch for a while. After realizing that something was wrong. Sit up sharply." What about Daiman?"
"Master. Deman is out. I said I was going to see if the peach blossoms in the peach orchard were blooming." Listen to Yao coming over. Said in a deep voice.
Su Jingxi carefully observed her expression. There was silence for a few moments." yes? Then let her come back to see her concubine. A quarter of an hour is not enough. Or two quarters of an hour."
Listening to Yao's face was worried. I know I can't hide from it. Quickly fell to his knees." Ask your master for forgiveness."
"Listen to Yao. You should know what kind of person this concubine looks like. You can hide it for a while. It's a shame for a lifetime." The cool tone is like a jewel. Cold, without a trace of emotion.
Listen to Yao kneeling on the ground. But struggled for a few seconds. Kowtowed. Said in a deep voice. Back to the master. Deman was poisoned."
Seeing her look worried. Hurriedly said. The slave has already treated her. There is no fear for his life. It also does not need the aid of decoction. It's going to be good for half a month."
"How toxic it is. There may be side effects."
"Toxicity...... The toxicity is quite special. Just during the poisoning. The face will gradually puff up. Red spots all over the body and edema. In addition to affecting the appearance. Some are inconvenient to walk. Everything else is fine. and shall not pass it on to others."
"Why is it poisoned. How long has it been." Su Jingxi got up. Go out.
Listen to Yao following closely behind." The poisoning was only for these two days. It's just a little more noticeable this morning. And he noticed it. As for why it is poisoned. I must have touched something that I shouldn't have touched."
"That ......"
"Don't worry, master. This morning, the slave and maid have already inspected the entire palace. Now the side hall where the master lives has been inspected more than three times inside and out. And found nothing to be found. So ......"
"So the poison is contracted from the outside. and is directed at Dyman alone." Su Jingxi walked to the ear room next to her.
This is almost certainly a purposeful and targeted conspiracy.
Such as listening to Yao and Dai Man, such as big palace maids. It has its own separate room.
"Slaves and maids see masters." Raid Xiang and the others stood at the door. See her coming. Hurriedly saluted in a panic.
Su Jingxi waved her hand. Get up. Open the door."
Dai Man leaned against the door inside. Say it out loud." Master. The slave and the maid are not good-looking. The master still doesn't come in. lest they defile the eyes of their masters."
Su Jingxi was a little angry. Said sharply." The concubine said to open the door."
The people next to him were shocked. Apparently didn't expect her to be angry. After all, I've never seen her angry in so long. Even the previous Dai Qing Dai Xia was not so angry. While being afraid. I was also faintly moved.
Be a slave. It's like a mustard. In many cases, whether or not you can live is just a word from the master. It is a great blessing to be able to have a master with clear rewards and punishments. Not to mention such a master who can think about the sake of the minions.
Dai Man couldn't control his tears. Slowly open the door from the inside. Get on your knees." Master......"
She never expected that her master would personally come to visit her in the palace man's room. No matter how angry you are on your face. The concern in his eyes could not be concealed. There is even a posture of wanting to get justice for her.
Su Jingxi didn't see her face exactly. through her figure. I can also feel that she is a lot fatter. At least the body shape is out of shape. Personally walked over and helped her up.
"I know what's going on."
Dai Man wiped away his tears. Choked up." Back to the master's words. The slave thought about it. Only two days ago, when I went to Yanqing Pavilion to give gifts. When he came out, he bumped into Concubine Qi's palace maid head-on. But I didn't feel anything at the time. Other. The slave and maid can't remember......"
Su Jingxi knows this thing. A few days ago was Du Wanru's birthday. There was no feast. It's just that the harem concubines are all for the sake of the Queen Mother and the piece of meat in her belly. Sent some gifts.
After "inadvertently" consulting Zong Zhengjin's opinion. The next day, she sent Dai Man to deliver a gift that was not out of the ordinary. I just don't know if there's this stubble behind.
"You're arguing." Su Jingxi asked. Did she bully you?"
Deman shook his head. When it touched her gaze. Pursed his lips. She also said a few words about the slave and the maid. The slave paid no attention to her. And he came back."
That being said. Su Jingxi could easily guess that things would not be so simple. Dai Man is a little arrogant. But he is very measured. Know what to do and why not to do. Won't get her in trouble.
Come to think of it. She only realized that she had always been. A big mistake was made. This is the chance. It's just right to fix it.
"The slave knocks to the master." Little Fuzi trotted in from outside. Salute.
"Get up." Su Jingxi walked out. Stand at the door.
"Master. The slave just found out that the palace maid next to Concubine Qi went to the Tai Hospital to dispense medicine a few days ago. It has the same vanilla synthesis as the fat powder used by the palace maids. It's the poison in the Daiman girl."
"You may be sure of the evidence." Su Jingxi didn't want to ask him how he found out. Instead, he asked directly.
Xiaofuzi nodded. The lower hospitals of the Tai Hospital are recorded. can be consulted. I'm just afraid that she won't recognize ......"
Tai Hospital is divided into two hospitals. As the name suggests. The Upper House is dedicated to serving these masters. As for the House of Commons. It is the eunuch and maid in the palace. Compare the two. It's not a little bit worse.
"It's one thing for her to admit it or not. If only you were sure it was her." Su Jingxi shook her head. sighed. You should take care of it first. What is needed directly and listen to Yao."
Su Jingxi took two steps. Find a little palace maid. Let's wait for Dai Man first. She has limited mobility. Ask her to help her a little more. Heal your wounds."
"Yes." Listen to Yao and salute. Ying Dao.
"And. Your concubine is very dissatisfied with what you have done. Dai Man is the concubine's eldest palace maid. What happened to her also hurt the face of this concubine. It doesn't help to hide it from this concubine. I hope you will take this as a warning." Su Jingxi didn't want to see them either. Look into the distance.
"I don't care who came up with this idea. This time, I will listen to Yao's punishment for half a year. Everyone else is fined three months. Small punishments, big commandments. There will be a next time. Let's just leave Guan Ju Palace."
Everyone was amazed. Hurriedly knelt on the ground." Slave | Ask your master for forgiveness."
Su Jingxi let them kneel on the ground. Go straight back to the side hall.
