Yun Qing quickly brought the detoxified mung bean soup. I carefully cooled the soup and fed it into the concubine's mouth. The Emperor and Empress arrived with sleepy eyes. Concubine Zheng is one of the few concubines of the first emperor in the palace, and she is highly respected, and even the emperor and empress dare not slack off.

Empress Wu had already asked Feng Yin about the whole story, and when she saw the imperial physician kneeling outside the hall, she shouted softly: "What are you doing here to be embarrassed?" Don't get out of here! ”

Imperial Physician Wang was originally a person promoted by the Empress Wu, and when he heard the queen's words, he left Yiyuxuan as quickly as possible.

The emperor asked in a deep voice, "What did the concubine eat for dinner today?" ”

Yun Qing immediately knelt down and replied: "Back to the emperor, the things that the concubine eats today are all provided by the dining room. Recently, there are a lot of fresh seafood from Huainan Road in the dining room, which are rarely seen in the palace, and the taste is sweet and delicious, and the mother likes it very much. Therefore, today's dinner division prepared fresh clams and radish soup, abalone stewed pearl cabbage, fried shredded cuttlefish, braised red scallops, and scallion braised shark skin according to the instructions of the mother. After that, the mother had a little more time and the new fruit went to bed. ”

After hearing this, the emperor turned his head and ordered Gao Junbao: "Notify the Shanggong Bureau and thoroughly inspect the dining room." I will know who made these dishes, and whose hands they passed. ”

Gao Junbao immediately received the order to pass the decree to the Shang Palace Bureau. At this moment, Imperial Physician Chen hurriedly arrived. After asking the emperor and the empress for peace, Imperial Physician Chen entered the inner room to check the concubine's complexion, and then inquired in detail about the concubine's illness before taking out the tool for the concubine's pulse.

I stood aside in a daze, lest any of my movements would affect Dr. Chen's diagnosis. Imperial Physician Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and he pondered for a long time before putting away his tools and solemnly replied: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Your Royal Highness the Princess, the Queen Concubine is indeed poisoned, and from the pulse and symptoms, it seems that she has been poisoned by arsenic." The medical classics known to the minister contain: arsenic poison, including rice vinegar, black tree root, angelica, turmeric, hu powder, white lentils, flea, black lead, mackerel pillow, camellia juice, mung bean juice, bayberry bark juice, winter melon vine juice, white duck juice, duck blood, sheep blood, rooster blood, sesame oil and so on. Princess Fangcai fed mung bean juice to the concubine, which can be said to be the right medicine. It's just that the concubine is very poisoned, and the minister can only do his best. ”

Imperial Physician Chen was about to prescribe medicine, when the concubine suddenly convulsed a few times on the bed, and then calmed down, but red blood slowly flowed from her mouth, nose, eyes and ears. Imperial Doctor Chen was shocked, probed his nose with his hand, and finally shook his head and knelt down and kowtowed: "The concubine Niangniang Immortal has passed away." ”

"How is that possible!" I cried out as I ran to the bedside and put my arms around the concubine, ignoring the fact that the blood on her face stained my clothes.

However, the ironclad truth is in front of me, and the concubine in my arms will never open her eyes to me again, never teach me more, and never talk and laugh at me. Her body gradually became cold and stiff, taking away the only trace of luck and hope in my heart.

As if I was about to burst into flames in my eyes, I gritted my teeth and asked the emperor: "The concubine is bleeding from her seven orifices when she is dying, and she must have been poisoned by arsenic." The death of the concubine is full of suspicions, and the royal brother must be the master of the courtier's sister, investigate the matter thoroughly, and find out the real murderer! ”

Before the emperor could answer me, the queen took the lead in replying: "Princess, please rest assured, even if the princess doesn't say it, the palace will strictly investigate and bring the murderer to justice." This palace will never allow anyone to make the harem into a miasma, let alone someone to commit murder under the nose of this palace! ”

The queen did what she said, and immediately ordered the things that the concubine had touched to be sealed, and all the maids in the queen mother's palace were isolated and interrogated, and even Yunqing was not spared, and then the queen took control of the palace bureau. The emperor instructed Gao Huai'an to pass on his oral message, and the Ministry of Rites buried Concubine Zheng according to the rites of the concubine, and drafted a nickname to submit to the imperial court.

Yuhan and Fengyin came up to persuade me to let go of the concubine, but my heart was already lost in resentment and sorrow, and I didn't have a single thought of my own, but I was at their mercy. After I let go of the concubine, a group of palace maids rushed up and began to take care of the concubine's death.

The emperor took me into his arms with pity and comforted: "Jingjing, no one dies, death may be a relief for the concubine." ”

I immediately broke free from the emperor's arms and glared at him fiercely: "Zi Fei fish, how do you know the joy of fish?" Concubine Shaohua died early and died unexpectedly, how could Your Majesty say such a thing when her bones were still cold! Then he walked to the side of the window, turned his back to the emperor, and ignored him.

I was so disrespectful to the emperor, but the emperor didn't reproach me, only sighed lightly, told Yuhan and Fengyin to take care of me, and left.

I stood in front of the window, staring out. Outside the window, the warm spring breeze blows every inch of the earth, and the flowers blooming on the trees dance with the wind. Ay! Even the flowers blooming outside Yiyuxuan were mourning the early death of the concubine, raining flowers and rain for her to send her on her last journey. And I, as her daughter-in-law, what can I do for her? I didn't shed a single tear, even though my heart hurt to the extreme. I must find out the truth about the sudden death of the concubine.

(I love my college)
