Chapter 247: Tulip Miscarriage Incident
"Your Majesty, Princess Qi has arrived." Yuan Fu stepped into the hall and respectfully saluted Emperor Yuchen.
"Okay, Princess Xuanqi is here." Emperor Yuchen said loudly.
"Huh." Yuan Fu replied respectfully. Then he stood up, shook the dust in his hand, and said in that sharp voice: "The emperor has a decree, Princess Xuanqi will meet you." ”
When Ling Ruohui heard this, he walked into the Wuying Hall alone, and was just about to kneel down and salute, when he heard Emperor Yuchen say, "Excuse me, take a seat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ling Ruoyi bowed respectfully.
"Ruoyi, you are already married to Yuqi, you should call me the imperial brother like him, and calling the emperor a little too distant." Emperor Yuchen said with a smile. Since the woman you like has become your brother and daughter-in-law, then turn the love for her men and women into brother and sister love.
"Yes, Brother Huang." Ling Ruoyi said with a smile. That's fine, I am the so-called husband and wife of Princess Qi, and it is also reasonable to follow King Qi to call Emperor Yuchen the imperial brother.
"Yi'er, the royal brother is looking for you this time, the queen killed the concubine and put saffron in Mrs. Xu's fetal pills." King Qi said lightly.
"Brother Huang, I believe that the queen mother will not do this, she is already the queen, and her son is the prince, so what is there not to be satisfied with, what good is it for her to hurt the child in Mrs. Xu's womb?"
"She has changed, she is not as gentle and virtuous as before, she has become very jealous, after Mrs. Xu became pregnant, she ridiculed her words several times, and now she has intensified, and she has put safflower in Mrs. Xu's fetal pills, which is a plot to kill the emperor's heir."
"Brother Huang doesn't have to make a decision so early, can you take me to see the scene?" Ling Ruoyi said lightly. The so-called scene refers to Mrs. Xu's bedroom, often things can't just look at the surface, too many things on the surface are false, or on-site investigation to get the answer you want.
"Alright, then I'll go with you." Emperor Yuchen said softly. Looking at the confident and sunny Ling Ruoxuan, Emperor Yuchen secretly thought, if he was not an emperor, just an idle prince, maybe he would have a chance to be with such a bright woman. It's a pity that the king of his own country, in order to stabilize the dynasty, has to marry some women he doesn't love, maybe some of those women really love themselves, but most of them are still for the interests of the family and their own glory and wealth.
After about a cup of tea, Emperor Yuchen, King Qi, Ling Ruohui and others came to Xiuxin Garden, where Xu Fu and others lived.
Mrs. Xu put on a weak look, leaned on the side of the bed, and when she saw Emperor Yuchen, she said timidly with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, ......"
"Aifei, why are you teary-eyed again, you just had a miscarriage, so you will cry your eyes."
"Your Majesty, the concubine's child is gone, how can the concubine not be sad."
Just when Mrs. Xu was coquettish with Emperor Yuchen, Ling Ruohui had already quickly swept through the room, although the flowers in this room had been replaced, but the original fragrance of flowers could still be smelled. This is the benefit of her medical practice, a variety of medicines are mixed together, and you can know which ones they are by smell alone.
"Brother Huang, may I ask Mrs. Xu a few questions?" Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
"Okay, you ask." Emperor Yuchen inadvertently pushed Mrs. Xu out of his arms, stood up with a smile, and made a gesture of please, which meant to let Ling Ruoyi ask casually.
Mrs. Xu, who was pushed out of the emperor's arms, was naturally full of displeasure, but there was no way, but the opposite was Princess Qi, who was just a little lady, how could she dare to have half a complaint. Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu sat on the bed and bowed slightly: "Princess, if you have anything to say, just ask, the concubine must know everything." ”
"Okay, dare to ask Mrs. Xu, did you have tulips in your room all the time before?"
"Yes, it's just that the recent flower room said that tulips are not good, so I sent a lily." Mrs. Xu didn't understand what the relationship between the flowers was and replied truthfully.
"Lilies have the effect of calming the mind, Niangniang has just had a miscarriage, and it is good to put some lilies in the palace." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
"Oh, that's it, then the concubine will let the flower room send more lilies in the future."
"Let me ask Niangniang again, do you take ginseng soup every day during pregnancy?"
"Yes, the imperial doctor said that I am weak and need tonic, so I take ginseng soup every day."
"Eun." Ling Ruoxuan nodded. Then he said to Emperor Yuchen: "Brother Huang, can you invite all the ladies of the palace, I think, who did the miscarriage of Mrs. Xu, I already have a number in my heart." ”
"Okay, Yuanfu, go and pass all the harem concubines." Emperor Yuchen said to Yuan Fu.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yuan Fu answered. At the same time, when Ling Ruohui went to pass on the concubines of the palaces in Yuanfu, she carefully checked Mrs. Xu's pulse, and the diagnosis result was the same as she thought.
About half a pillar of incense passed, the concubines of each palace had already gathered in Xiuxin Garden. At this time, the queen took off her hairpin, was dressed in plain clothes, her face was haggard, and she had no infinite scenery in the past.
Just when Ling Ruoxuan looked around, she happened to meet the queen's eyes, she was framed this time, and the evidence was conclusive, the emperor already distrusted her, if it wasn't for her father and brother, I am afraid that she would have been given to death. What I didn't expect was that I treated my sister harshly several times at the beginning, but now she is in trouble, but she reaches out to help, I really regret that I shouldn't have treated her like that.
"Ruoyi, now that the concubines of the palaces are already here, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." Emperor Yuchen said with a smile. This is tantamount to authorization, Ling Ruoxuan can interrogate anyone at will, and he asks unceremoniously.
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Ling Ruoyi saluted elegantly, then looked at everyone's expressions with a light smile, and slowly paced through the crowd.
Sometimes, a person's mouth can tell a lie, but her expression can betray herself, thinking that she had taken a course in psychology at the beginning, it was very difficult to tell a lie in front of her.
The palace concubines looked at Ling Ruohui's eyes when they looked at them, and they all bowed their heads or looked elsewhere with anxiety to avoid Ling Ruohui, but one of them looked like they had nothing to do with themselves.
Chunlan saw Ling Ruoxuan's eyes looking at her, and couldn't help but be a little scared, to say that this Princess Qi is a powerful character, thinking that when she was in Lixia Kingdom, she could kill the two concubines, she was just a little palace maid, clean herself up, isn't it as easy as crushing an ant to death.
"Ruoyi, why don't you speak, I'm still waiting for you to find out the person who plotted to kill the emperor's heir." Emperor Yuchen said lightly. He didn't understand, what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd by Ling Ruoyi, he just wandered among these people and didn't ask questions, what could he see. Do bad people write the word bad guy on the door of their heads?
"Brother Huang, I have just checked Mrs. Xu's pulse, and I can confirm that Mrs. Xu's miscarriage was not caused by taking safflower, and there are other reasons, which shows that Mrs. Xu's miscarriage is not related to the queen's mother, and I also ask the emperor to open Chrysostom first and release the queen's mother."
"Okay, Yuan Fu passed on my will, Mrs. Xu's miscarriage has nothing to do with the queen, immediately restore the queen's position, and reward a thousand taels of silver to appease."
Hearing this, the queen burst into tears, although she also hoped that Mrs. Xu would have a miscarriage, but she herself did not send saffron to harm Mrs. Xu, and she was able to wash away her grievances, all of which was due to Ling Ruoyi.
"Ruoyi, since you said that the queen is not the murderer, it is the maidservant Chunmei next to her who did it?"
"No, she's just a pawn used by others."
"So what's going on?"
"Just now I asked Mrs. Xu if she had placed tulips in the room before, and if she had taken ginseng soup."
"That's right. I already know this, but does it have anything to do with it? ”
"Ginseng soup for pregnant women, as long as the dosage is well controlled, it is beneficial to eat less, and tulips are usually used without harm, but if the two are combined and placed around pregnant women, it will become a cruel medicine for abortion."
"How can this ......" Emperor Yuchen was really puzzled, this tulip had also been seen in the palace of other concubines, how could it be a miscarriage? It shouldn't be that Princess Qi said this in order to save the queen.
Of course, Ling Ruohui understood everyone's doubts, how could the flowers that were usually common in the imperial garden be aborted things, isn't this too child's play.
"This tulip is also known as grass musk, I don't think everyone understands that musk is harmful to a woman's body, and for pregnant women, it is even more impossible to get a little bit of it. Tulips and ginseng soup are added together to become a blood-invigorating decoction, so that on the surface, it is a tonic, but in fact it is a fetal medicine. ”
"I see, so to speak, Mrs. Xu's miscarriage was not murdered, but an accident?"
"No, Brother Huang, Mrs. Xu's miscarriage is artificial, it's just that the other party's methods are clever and cover up as an accident."
"Oh? Then tell me who is so vicious and wants to harm my children. Emperor Yuchen said angrily. If it was an accident, maybe he could still suppress his anger, but this incident was man-made, not only harming Mrs. Xu's miscarriage, but also blaming the queen, which is really an unforgivable crime.
"Yes, Imperial Brother. In fact, the person who harmed Mrs. Xu and blamed the queen was Concubine Qiong. Ling Ruoyi smiled lightly.
Hearing this, Concubine Qiong sneered, "Princess Qi, don't frame this palace at will in order to help the queen get rid of her guilt, and you must have evidence to speak, otherwise this palace must ask for an explanation from King Qi's mansion." ”
"Do you want proof? Concubine Qiong, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin. ”
"Hmph, this palace can also be said to be Princess Qi, you deliberately framed it, if you say this medical skill, in Yunshang Country, your Princess Qi is called the second, who dares to call it the first. This palace is just a woman, how do you know this pharmacology? "Concubine Joan is aggressive.
When everyone heard this, they also felt that it was very reasonable, Concubine Qiong did not understand medical skills, and the people in her mother's family were also some civil servants and did not practice medicine, if it was said that she used tulips to harm people to have abortions, how could she have such clever means.
"This concubine is proficient in medical skills, and everyone in Yunshang knows it, if it is said that this concubine helped the queen eliminate dissidents, how can she expose the fact that this tulip poisoned the emperor's heir, Concubine Qiong, don't you want evidence? The proof is with me. After that, Ling Ruoyi took out a piece of high-quality mutton fat jade pendant from her sleeve and held it high in front of everyone......
