Chapter 99: Poison in the Candle
Soon Yun Zhaoyue came back to her senses, but there was still the emperor staring at her on the side, and she immediately diagnosed and treated Concubine Mei more carefully.
After determining Mei Guifei's physical state, Yun Zhaoyue's eyebrows frowned even tighter, because Mei Guifei did not fall ill suddenly, but was poisoned.
But she hadn't found out what the poison was before she could show it.
The emperor didn't know what she was thinking, and when he saw that her face changed suddenly, he thought that there was something wrong with Concubine Mei, and he unconsciously added a little anger between his eyebrows.
"Can you cure the concubine and keep the dragon heir!"
Hearing the emperor's angry question, Yun Zhaoyue got up and arched her hand at the emperor, telling the truth about her discovery.
"Back to Your Majesty, there are a large number of people in the palace, and the concubine did not tell the truth, in fact, the concubine Niangniang is not sick, but poisoned."
As soon as the words fell, Yun Zhaoyue felt that the coercion above her head suddenly increased, and she didn't know if it was because of her concealment, or because someone dared to blatantly poison the palace.
However, only Yun Zhaoyue raised the matter of poisoning, and the emperor's eyes kept looking at her head, and he was also wondering if Yun Zhaoyue had ulterior motives.
Sensing the emperor's doubts, Yun Zhaoyue immediately lowered her eyes.
"Because the symptoms of the poisoning of the concubine are almost the same as the symptoms, and the concubine is a double body, so it has not been detected by the imperial doctor, and the person who poisoned the poison must have noticed this matter and will do it like this."
After a pause, Yun Zhaoyue continued.
"Niangniang's body can't be delayed, even if the imperial doctor finds out that Niangniang is indeed poisoned, he will take into account the imperial heir in Niangniang's womb and dare not use medicine at will, and the final result is ...... "can only be one corpse and two lives."
Yun Zhaoyue naturally couldn't say this kind of thing in front of the emperor, but she believed that the emperor could understand what she meant.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the emperor's angry voice to come from overhead.
"Investigate, if you find out who is behind the scenes, I will be severely punished!"
The emperor spoke, Yun Zhaoyue naturally responded, and then ordered Concubine Mei's personal palace maid to take all the things that Concubine Mei had used last night.
"Bring the dishes and chopsticks with you."
Yun Zhaoyue also made a special admonition, and after a while, someone put a lot of things in front of Yun Zhaoyue.
Seeing this, Yun Zhaoyue held the silver needle in her hand and checked them one by one, but after a circle, among the things used by Mei Guifei, there was no sign of the silver needle turning black, which made her frown unconsciously.
The emperor also discovered this scene, and his eyes looking at Yun Zhaoyue added a little suspicion.
Yun Zhaoyue couldn't figure out why this was happening, could it be that this poison was elsewhere?
At this moment, Concubine Mei on the bed suddenly coughed up blood, which immediately made the emperor pay attention to the bedside, and he also added a little dislike to Yun Zhaoyue.
Yun Zhaoyue saw that Mei Guifei's situation was not right, and temporarily gave up the idea of exploring and looking for poison, and was ready to take out a few herbs in the space to detoxify Mei Guifei first.
Thinking of this, Yun Zhaoyue put her fingertips on the bracelet on her wrist and walked quickly to the bedside.
Just as she was about to enter the space, her nose fluttered, but she first smelled a strange smell.
Fang Cai Yun Zhaoyue didn't notice this strange smell because there were too many people in the hall, but it was not too late to notice it now, she quietly found the source of the smell, and her eyes fell on the candlestick beside the bed.
Candle! So this poison was put into the candle, and as the candle was lit every night, it invaded Mei Guifei's body little by little, it was really a vicious trick, if it weren't for her sensitive sense of smell, I am afraid she would not have been able to detect this subtle taste.
But at this moment, it has not been found out who is behind the scenes, if she suddenly asks to replace the candlestick and cure Mei Guifei again, who dares to guarantee that person will not make another move, and even hold a grudge against her?
Thinking like this, Yun Zhaoyue shook her head slightly, deciding not to tell her findings for the time being.
However, it is still beneficial for her to find the source of the poison, and it is a good opportunity to find out who may be behind it.
Yun Zhaoyue's face did not change and took two steps back, pretending to be casual and walking towards the candlestick.
The maid on the side didn't know what Yun Zhaoyue wanted to do, and when she saw her coming, she just wanted to ask, but saw Yun Zhaoyue waving her hand and walking back, but the candlestick was knocked over with her movements.
The maid's eyes widened, and she hurriedly began to pack up the things on the ground.
The emperor heard the movement behind him but didn't say much, because his attention was all on Concubine Mei.
Yun Zhaoyue covered her mouth with a surprised look, "Startle the palace." ”
"It's okay, the slave will go and change to a new one, please wait for a while, the princess." The maid was also taken aback by Yun Zhaoyue's sudden move, and hurriedly bowed down and retreated.
Yun Zhaoyue looked at the back of the maid, and unconsciously hooked the corners of her mouth, she solved the poison so easily, and she was really in a good mood.
Just as she was about to go back to feed Mei Guifei the antidote, she didn't expect that after the maid re-lit the candlestick, the familiar smell wafted over again.
Yun Zhaoyue frowned almost imperceptibly, and her gaze fell on the candlestick.
A moment later, there was another flash in her eyes.
Obviously, the person who poisoned was not the one who could come into contact with Mei Guifei on a daily basis, and how could he guarantee that the one used by Mei Guifei must have been manipulated by her, so it must have been poisoned in all the candles to ensure that the poison would definitely enter Mei Guifei's body.
I have to say that the person who poisoned him was really vicious!
Yun Zhaoyue retracted her mind, looked at Mei Guifei's increasingly pale face, turned her head and took out a few antidote herbs from the space through the cover of her wide sleeves, put them in the palm of her hand and flowed the juice into Mei Guifei's mouth.
The emperor didn't seem to have seen such a simple and crude detoxification method as Yun Zhaoyue, and he was stunned for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but he saw that Concubine Mei's face seemed to be gradually improving, and the words that came to her mouth were not said for the time being.
Just when Concubine Mei's condition was gradually improving, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.
"Niangniang, Princess Ning is treating Concubine Mei in the house, so Your Majesty specially ordered that no one should go in and disturb her."
The father-in-law, who was guarding the door, stepped forward quickly and bowed to the queen, but there was a little embarrassment on his face, for fear that the queen would not be able to enter and would vent his anger on him.
The queen glanced at the figure in front of her, then at the closed door, and narrowed her eyes without speaking.
Zhong Xiyu, who followed the queen's side, took a step forward, "Father's order is because he is worried that someone will attack the concubine again, how could the queen mother do such a thing." ”
The father-in-law outside the hall really didn't know what to do, so he swallowed his saliva and simply touched the ground with his forehead.
Seeing his frightened look, Zhong Xiyu's eyes flashed with contempt, and just as he was about to speak, he saw someone in the hall walking out.
"Your Majesty invites the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess in."
