Chapter 024: Turning the Tide
Nie Xinyi's words were tantamount to reassuring the empress's originally wavering mind. The order she wanted to investigate was just stuck in her throat. Can't say it anymore.
There is no absolute trust in the royal family. Even between the empress and Nie Xinyao. Closer than any other royal daughter. But when it comes to the throne and life. Even if it's a biological mother and daughter. will also turn against each other.
Not to mention. Humans are visual creatures. All people will be willing to believe their eyes. What you see at first glance always makes the most impression. The regent was poisoned and unconscious. and the poisoning death of Yang Gonggong in the imperial dining room. It caused a huge shock to the empress's heart.
coupled with Nie Xinyi's intentional or unintentional provocation. A few words that are neither yin nor yang. put Nie Xinyao into a desperate situation. There is no place to turn over. In the eyes of all. Update as soon as possible The reason why Nie Xinyao wants to investigate thoroughly. It's because I'm sure that this eunuch can't produce evidence. Then she can justifiably kill people.
"Someone. . . The Six Princesses intended to murder the king. Ill-intentioned. ...... her," the empress listened to Nie Xinyi's words. Suddenly, he spoke. You have to make up your mind.
But how could Nie Xinyao sit still and wait to die. Her gaze was on Qingchen. saw Qingchen nodding slightly at her. He still had a confident smile on his face. The anxiety in my heart gradually decreased. The panic just now gradually subsided.
Not sure why. She just believed in Mu Ye, who was a man and a woman. There always seemed to be a reassuring power in her. So sure. So calmly. It seems like no matter what happens. It was all in her expectation.
"Poof. Be the first to update. ”
The Empress's words were unfinished. I saw a large mouthful of black blood spurting out of the mouth of the regent who was originally unconscious. Landing on a table full of dishes. Dotted with stars. It's terrifying.
"Uncle Wang. Nie Xinlin, the Seventh Imperial Daughter, exclaimed. It seems to be frightened by the battle in front of him. Some are overwhelmed.
"Imperial Doctor. What the hell is going on. Didn't you say that the poison was cured? The Empress spoke again. Drink to the Imperial Doctor. Then his gaze fell on Nie Xinyao's body. has brought a touch of murder.
Just now, the Empress was just plain angry. and did not have the intention of killing Nie Xinyao. But now. But it's very different. It's not that the Empress loves the Regent's sister so much. I love so much that I am willing to pay for my life with my daughter. It's because of these poisons. It was originally going to be given to her. If it weren't for the regent, he saved her from these calamities. Now she is vomiting blood and is in a coma.
If Nie Xinyao's mind is really so vicious. So...... No matter how good she is. I can't stay anymore.
"This ...... This...... Weichen doesn't know either. It stands to reason. The regent took Wechen's antidote. It should be safe. But ......" the Imperial Doctor stammered. I can't say why.
"That's because the Lord Regent just ate. It's not an antidote. It's poison. Qingchen didn't speak directly. Rather, it carried the internal force. Spread the word into the secret. It reached Nie Xinyao's ears.
Nie Xinyao was surprised at first. Later, I heard the sound of this dust. I relaxed. Then I heard Qingchen say:
"We haven't made a move. This is the moment that I was waiting for. Sixth, His Highness. It's time to fight back. Tell me about the regent. Ask the Empress to find another Imperial Physician to come and check the pulse of the Regent. ”
Although Nie Xinyao didn't know what Qingchen was going to do. However, it is still in accordance with the requirements of dust cleaning. Say everything that needs to be said:
"Uncle Wang just took it is not an antidote at all. It's poison. This doctor is trying to gain fame and reputation. actually joked about Uncle Wang's life. It's an unforgivable sin. The Mother Empress. This incident can prove the innocence of the sons. Erchen asked for another imperial doctor. came to check Uncle Wang's pulse. ”
"What do you say. You just suspect that the eunuch is okay. But the Imperial Physician is my imperial doctor. You even have to be suspicious of the Imperial Physician. "After the first two times. The empress's trust in Nie Xinyao has now fallen to the bottom. I didn't care about Nie Xinyao's explanation. I just thought that Nie Xinyao was trying to find a way to exonerate herself.
"If the mother queen doesn't believe in her sons. The son is willing to make a life and death situation. If Uncle Wang's situation is not what the son said. Then the retainers are willing to apologize with death. Nie Xinyao took a deep breath. So said.
She suddenly felt a little sad. The mother queen that he has always admired. I didn't believe her so much. And she wanted her to make this bet with her own life.
Of course. This method was also taught to her by Qingchen. Otherwise. There was no way she could have resorted to such a dangerous method. If the regent really wasn't what she said he was. Isn't she really going to give her life here? It's just that. She chose to believe Mu Qingchen.
"The Mother. Since the Sixth Emperor Sister is so confident. Then let her make a life and death statement. Update as soon as Uncle Wang's life hangs by a thread. But she was still defending herself. It shows that the six emperor sisters are hard-hearted. If it turns out in the end, what the Six Emperor Sisters said is true. Nature is good. Otherwise. It's also good to let the six emperor sisters learn a lesson. The second princess continued. It seems that he wants to push Nie Xinyao into a desperate situation again.
Nie Xinyao looked at Nie Xinyi. The gaze is calm and unwavering. seemed to want to pass through Nie Xinyi's eyes. See through her soul.
It comes from the same root. Why is he too anxious to fry each other. She asked herself if there was any bad relationship between her and Nie Xinyi. But why did Nie Xinyi target her again and again. Is it really just to help the regent? still wanted to get rid of her biggest rival. And then he fished for his own profit.
"Erchen believes that the Sixth Emperor Sister will never do this. also asked the mother emperor to give the six emperor sisters a chance. Be the first to update and let her prove herself. The three princesses, who had been watching the play and had not spoken, spoke. But it was for Nie Xinyao to intercede with the empress.
Followed by. The eldest princess and the fourth princess also pleaded. Although the Seventh Imperial Daughter Nie Xinlin was unwilling in her heart. even had a desire to let Nie Xinyao die in her own life and death. Ask the Empress to agree to Nie Xinyao's request.
"Good. Case. Come on. Passed on to the Imperial Physician of Zhou. The Empress did not hesitate for a moment. Turning his head to Nie Xinrou, he said. "Rou'er. Go and bring the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Let her write about life and death. If it turns out that she really did it. And she apologized with death. ”
The palace people moved quickly. The moment Nie Xinyao had just written the life and death statement. The palace people invited Imperial Doctor Zhou over. Let him take the pulse of the regent.
Imperial Physician Zhou is older than Imperial Physician Wang. And the medical skills are even more sophisticated. He is also the empress's imperial physician. The rest of the palace is not moving. Unless there is an order from the Empress. So I used to diagnose the pulse of the regent. will use the Wang Taiyi who is slightly inferior in medical skills.
And because of that. Knowing that the empress would not easily call Imperial Physician Zhou out. That's why the regent will buy the royal doctor. Let him follow the route he has arranged. But now. Imperial Physician Zhou appeared. Things took a different turn.
That's just all about it. No one else knows. The regent was originally pretending to be unconscious. Now it's really in a coma. Nature is powerless to stop this. And the second princess didn't know the specific plan of the regent. In the case of bent on putting Nie Xinyao to death. Instead, it gave Nie Xinyao a chance to live.
Under the orders of the empress, Imperial Physician Zhou took the pulse of the regent. Then he told the regent about it. Then he spoke again: "According to what the imperial physician said." The regent must have been poisoned by a poison called Falling Cloud Flower. will have the same symptoms as before. But according to Lao Chen's diagnosis. The regent did not fall for such a poisonous ......"
"Imperial Physician Zhou, don't talk nonsense. The regent was clearly poisoned by the falling cloud flower. That's why the face is blue. Darkened lips. and even fell into a coma. After taking the antidote. It's already good. But......" Doctor Wang couldn't help but argue.
"If I'm not mistaken. The antidote to the falling cloud flower. There should be a taste of medicinal herbs. Metaphyllous grass. If there is no poison in the falling clouds. Casual consumption of metaphyllous grass. It can also be poisoned. And the regent has been poisoned by the partial leaf grass. Imperial Physician Zhou shook his head. Speak.
"Imperial Doctor Zhou. You can find out. What do you mean. The regent had not been poisoned before. Instead, he took an antidote with a metaphyllous herb. will be poisoned. "The empress thinks she trusts Imperial Doctor Zhou more. Heard the words of Imperial Physician Zhou. Then he opened his mouth to confirm it.
Weichen saw it clearly. That's true. Imperial Physician Zhou said. "I don't know why the imperial physician determined that the regent was poisoned by Luoyunhua. Where does this poison come from? ”
With Imperial Doctor Zhou's question. The crowd turned their eyes to the dish on the table. The Empress also pointed to the plate. Spoken:
According to the eunuch. The poison should be in this dish. I originally wanted to poison me. I didn't expect to be eaten by the royal sister by mistake. ”
Imperial Physician Zhou listened to the empress's words. So he went up to check the so-called poisoned talent. All the methods of drug testing were used. No signs of poisoning were found. to the end. Imperial Physician Zhou even picked up the chopsticks on the table. Picked up some dishes. Put it in your mouth. Chewed. Swallowed.
The Empress saw this. Shocked: "Imperial Doctor Zhou." What are you doing. ”
"Your Majesty. I don't know who said this dish was poisonous. Such a delicious dish. but he will be wronged by this. It really shouldn't be. "Imperial Physician Zhou is also a naughty boy. So said. He even smashed his mouth. A look of aftertaste.
"You mean...... There's no poison in this dish at all. The Empress was also shocked.
"It's not just that there's no poison in this dish. All the dishes on this table are not poisonous. It's a pity that this table is a good dish. Imperial Physician Zhou said. "Your Majesty. The regent has been poisoned by the Partial-leaved Grass. You only need to take the decoction according to the prescription. It's all right. If nothing else. Weichen retired first. ”
"Wait. Imperial Physician Zhou. One more thing. I need your confirmation. The Empress said. Raised his voice again. "Someone. Bring the body of Yang Gonggong up. ”
The voice fell. The two guards at the door answered the call. Soon brought the body of Yang Gonggong over. placed on the main hall. Let Imperial Doctor Zhou check it.
Imperial Physician Zhou didn't hesitate for a moment. Just walk forward. The cause of Yang Gonggong's death was checked. After a long time, he said: "Yang Gongcheng is poisoned by Luoyun Flower. Late treatment. Poisoned to death. ”
Doctor Zhou finished speaking. And everyone understood what was going on. The look in his eyes at the regent gradually changed. And the empress seems to know that she has wronged the six princesses. Take a deep breath. Turning his head to Nie Xinyao, he said:
"Yao'er. You get up first. ”
"The Mother. This matter is full of suspicions. Although it has been confirmed that this eunuch is full of lies. The imperial physician also had a problem. But he couldn't completely wash away the grievances of his sons. Erchen asked for a thorough investigation into the matter. Completely return the son's innocence. Nie Xinyao didn't get up. Rather, it is said. The attitude is very resolute.
