In the afternoon of the third day, the warm daylight shone into the house through the silver-red cicada wing window screen, and the bamboo shadow outside the window was horizontally oblique, contrasting with the red veil, and on the soft couch by the window, Lu Yuan was sleeping deeply.

I don't know how long she slept, and she seemed to hear the voice of Yu Lin in the haze, but the voice was vague and unreal, as if it came from the sky, and she tried to wake up, but she couldn't open her eyes.

Yu Lin stared at Lu Yuan who was sleeping on the couch, saw her eyelashes trembling slightly, and asked Biluo, "When did your little master fall asleep like this?" ”

Bi Luo replied: "Since the first two periods, the little master has always wanted to sleep, and there are always four or five hours of sleep in the twelve hours during the day, and the slave maid thinks that the weather is warm and sleepy for a while, and he doesn't want to use breakfast today The little master fell asleep, until this time, he couldn't wake up, and he didn't even eat lunch." ”

Yu Lin said thoughtfully: "Have you seen it by the imperial doctor?" ”

Biluo hurriedly said: "Not yet." The little lord has not had any other discomfort in the past few days except for drowsiness, and in the morning three days ago, Dr. Jiang Rongjiang of the Tai Hospital had just given the little lord a pulse of peace, saying that the little master was all healthy. ”

Yu Lin called Li Zhong and said, "Hurry up and go to Tai Hospital and ask Tai Doctor Liu to come!" Slowly, there is also a Jiang Rong Imperial Doctor who is also invited. ”

Li Zhong bowed his head and said, "Yes!" ", hurried away.

The two imperial doctors arrived at Yurun Hall in just a moment, Imperial Physician Liu carefully checked the pulse, Imperial Physician Jiang observed the complexion, took out a silver needle from the medicine box, and pricked it lightly on Lu Yuan's hand a few times. Then the two discussed for a long time, and then came to the outer hall to report to Yu Lin.

Imperial Physician Liu said: "According to the pulse of the little master, there is no evil disease to invade the body, Weichen used a silver needle to pierce the little master's Hegu acupoint, and the silver needle turned slightly black, which is a sign of poisoning." ”

"Poisoned?" Yu Lin was very surprised.

Jiang Rong said: "Weichen just checked the peace pulse for the noble little master three days ago, and everything in his body is normal, and all of a sudden, is there something wrong with his diet?" ”

Bi Luo hurriedly replied: "There is nothing suspicious about the little master's diet these days, three days ago, he joked with Yi Guiren and the slaves, and then Concubine Rong came to send a box of incense, and at night the little master and the little master shouted that he was sleepy and went to bed early." ”

"Incense? What incense? Yu Lin asked.

Jiang Rong also said: "Can you ask the girl to take that incense and let Weichen take a look?" ”

Bi Luo turned around and entered the inner room, took out the box of phoenix pith incense from the drawer of the dresser, and presented it to the emperor and the two imperial doctors.

The two imperial physicians Liu and Jiang opened the box and examined it carefully, and after careful inspection, Imperial Physician Liu said cautiously: "According to Wei Chen, the problem lies in this incense, which adds a poisonous poison snake mancao, and the noble little master used this incense on his body, and he smelled it day and night and was poisoned. ”

Jiang Rong added: "This snake grass has a slight fragrance, which is easy to be confused with spices, and if you smell it too much, it will paralyze people's nerves over time, make people drowsy all day long, and finally become demented." And this incense has increased several times, because Ying Guiren became ill in three days. ”

Yu Lin gasped, his face was gloomy, and he asked Biluo, "You just said that this incense was sent by Concubine Rong?" ”

Biluo said calmly: "It was sent by Concubine Rong herself, and the slave didn't dare to lie." ”

Yu Lin shook his fist and slammed the table, and said word by word: "Concubine Chuan Rong will come to Yuruntang immediately!" ”

In the Yurun Hall, the birds were silent, everyone hung their hands and stood up, and they were silent, sitting on their seats and staring at the door tightly.

Concubine Rong came with a tassel and a bamboo bone fan, entered the hall, and bowed to Yulin: "I don't know why the emperor is in such a hurry to recruit his concubines to Yurun Hall?" ”

As he spoke, he looked around and said in surprise: "Why are there two imperial doctors here?" Could it be that Sister Lu is unwell? ”

Yu Lin threw the box of phoenix pith incense in front of Concubine Rong, and said solemnly: "This box of incense is what you gave to Ying Guiren?" ”

When Concubine Rong saw it, she said with a smile: "This is the phoenix pith incense that was paid tribute to the Western Regions that year, only such a small box, extremely precious, the emperor favored the concubines and gave them all to the hand, and the concubines have been reluctant to use it, and a few days ago borrowed flowers and offered Buddha to Sister Lu to show peace." ”

Yu Lin said sharply: "Isn't there anything else added to this?" ”

Concubine Rong gradually changed color and asked, "What does the emperor mean by this, do you suspect that the concubine poisoned Sister Lu in this incense?" What happened to Sister Lu? ”

Yu Lin said coldly: "Ying Guiren fell asleep after using the incense you sent. ”

Concubine Rong argued eagerly: "That can't be said to be a problem with the incense sent by the concubine." ”

Yu Lin said: "The two imperial doctors have checked it, and poison has been added to this incense. ”

Concubine Rong was shocked, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face, and she almost collapsed, but the tassel beside her hurriedly held on.

Concubine Rong calmed down for a moment and said, "Did the emperor decide that the palace had the intention to harm Sister Lu?" Could it be that the concubine is such a vicious person in the emperor's heart? As he spoke, tears fell, and the pear blossoms brought rain.

Yu Lin hesitated for a moment and said: "The two imperial doctors have already found out the problem in this incense, the evidence is conclusive, how can there be a difference?" ”

Concubine Rong took out the silk handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and said: "Since the concubine got this incense, she has been cherishing it and is reluctant to use it, so she must have been done by someone." Concubine Rong tried the maid who kept the spices. Tassel, ask someone to go to Yaohua Palace to bring Hua Xi. Tassel hurriedly went out to give orders.

The hall was silent again, only Concubine Rong sobbed softly intermittently, Yu Lin's face softened, and she was a little unbearable, and said, "I was very angry just now, and my tone was a little anxious, don't take it to heart." ”

Concubine Rong raised her head and sent a touch of autumn waves, both sad and coquettish, and said: "The concubine doesn't dare to blame the emperor, Sister Lu is the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, and now that something has gone wrong, the emperor should be anxious." ”

While speaking, Hua Xi was taken to Yurun Hall, kneeling in front of everyone in fear, not daring to raise her head.

Concubine Rong preemptively said: "Hua Xi, this palace asks you to keep spices, and you are very important, and you are actually revenge?" Say it! What poison have you put in the phoenix pith incense in this palace! ”

Hua Xi cried and argued: "The slave is wronged, Niangniang, the slave really didn't do anything." ”

Tassel stepped forward and slapped her twice, and she sobbed and admitted: "The slave has been keeping spices and head oil for the mother, and one day because she accidentally sprinkled the snail Dai of the mother, the mother was angry and punished the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid held a grudge, so she secretly got the snake mangrass from the outside and mixed it into the phoenix pith incense that Niangniang cherished the most. Mother's forgiveness! Mother forgive sins! As he spoke, he kowtowed.

Concubine Rong gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Cheap! It doesn't hurt for you to poison this palace, but this makes this palace bear the charge of killing concubines, it is really hateful, and I can't spare you! ”

Looking at Yu Lin again, Chu Chu said pitifully: "Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know what happened, so she gave this phoenix pith incense to Sister Lu, and the concubine was originally a good intention, who knows.... In fact, it was Sister Lu who was affected in place of Bengong, and it should be Bengong who was poisoned, ....." said, tears falling like beads with broken threads.

Yu Lin couldn't bear it, and comforted her: "Even so, you are also a victim, and those who don't know are not to blame." He said sharply to Hua Xi: "Hua Xi is vicious and murders his master, and his crime should be punished!" Pull it down, beat it to death with a stick! ”

Hua Xi's face turned pale and fainted in fright, and several small internal supervisors drove her out of the court.

Yu Lin turned to Concubine Rong and said: "After all, this matter was done by your subordinates, and you are also derelict in your duties, so I will punish you to go to Baohua Hall to chant for seven days." ”

Concubine Rong smiled and said, "The concubine is willing to be punished, and she will definitely discipline her subordinates in the future." I don't know if Sister Lu is in the way, the concubine wants to go and see. ”

Yu Lin said: "Fortunately, the poisoning of the noble Ying is not very deep, and there is an antidote to this poison, I have already ordered Imperial Doctor Liu and Imperial Doctor Jiang to treat it carefully, I think there will be no big problem." Concubine Rong, you are in charge of the Sixth Palace, and you should also take more care of the Ying nobles. ”

Concubine Rong smiled: "That's natural, the concubines must do their best, please rest assured." As soon as the concubine returned to the palace, she asked people to send two good ginseng to make up for the Ying nobles. ”

Yu Lin said with satisfaction: "This is very good! ”

Concubine Rong said again: "It is very appropriate to have two imperial doctors take care of it here, the emperor might as well go to Yaohua Palace with his concubines for some refreshments." ”

Yu Lin said: "I happen to be a little hungry this time, so let's go to Yaohua Palace." Fu said to Biluo again: "If your little master wakes up, go and report to me immediately, and I will come to see her later." Concubine Rong followed Yu Lin and flew away.

After using the antidote, by the time of the night lamp, Lu Yuan had already woken up, Biluo recounted the things before and after, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she sighed: "It is up to people to succeed in the sky, I didn't expect Concubine Rong to escape so easily, it was really cunning, but it was a pity that she took an innocent life." ”

Biluo said: "Concubine Rong has always been ruthless, and she doesn't care much about her subordinates, so she must have given the maid some benefits, so that she was willing to bear the charge." ”

Lu Yuan exhaled deeply and said, "Let's think about it in the long run!" ”

There was a slight cold bitterness in his heart, Yu Lin believed Concubine Rong so easily, couldn't he see through the game, or knew that it was a play, but he just entered the game, or did he really have affection for Concubine Rong.
