Chapter 82
It was quiet outside, and no one dared to speak so many concubines in the palace.
Concubine Shu's eyes were solemn, obviously caught off guard by this scene. She lowered her eyes and said silently, only to see the emperor slowly speaking: "Since that's the case, let me check it carefully!"
In an instant, all the servants of the entire Cining Palace began to go out and searched from the palace to the outside of the palace.
Any corner, and some of the things that the Queen Mother had used and eaten before, were thoroughly investigated.
Not long after, the Imperial Doctor raised his head from the things that were sent to the Cining Palace and came to the emperor with an item. His voice trembled slightly, "Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with this object."
"What's wrong?"
The imperial physician placed the vase in his hand in front of the emperor: "There is a kind of incense hidden on the flowers and leaves. If it smells it for a long time, it is likely to cause a stroke."
What he said was very likely, not completely sure.
But the medicine powder there did exist, and the emperor's face changed drastically.
He looked at the concubines below with a serious expression, and the cold and solemn look in his eyes gradually became stronger, "Who sent this thing?"
Seeing this, the queen spoke first: "Isn't this what Concubine Shu personally sent to the Empress Dowager's harem after the palace banquet?"
As she said this, everyone had already set their eyes on Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu pursed her lips and said with a cold face: "I don't know about this, and the pot of flowers has been delivered for so long.
, I don’t know how many people have contacted me, why did they put the charges on my concubine?”
The two nannies at the gate of Cining Palace quickly knelt down and said sweating profusely: "This pot of flowers is a precious flower seed rewarded at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. The Queen Mother has always cared very much, and even made the old slave and the two guarded them day and night.
Then, no outsiders will approach you."
These two nannies are old men around the Queen Mother. Their words are also very credible and do not sound fake.
Concubine Nan curled the corners of her lips and covered her lips and chuckled: "It seems that this matter should be correct. It was done by Concubine Shu himself. She is really skillful. She has already prepared so early. It seems that she has already been
I plan to seize power!"
"you..."
Concubine Shu had a cold face and glared at Concubine Nan's direction. Her originally calm expression also turned pale.
Over the years, Concubine Shu was able to gain a foothold in the harem, which shows that she was not a stupid person either.
"So many days have passed since the Hundred Flowers Banquet to today. Can you two guarantee that no one is approaching this pot of flowers during this period?"
The two nannies lowered their heads and said, "The servants use their heads on their necks to ensure that no one is approaching."
Shufei curled her lips and understood what the two of them meant: "The medicine powder on this has been hiding on this flower for a long time, and the smell of this pot of flowers is very strong, so it is normal to be difficult to find, but..."
As soon as she changed her voice, many people were watching her: "You always guard this pot of flowers, why didn't there be any trouble? The Queen Mother's who happened?"
When the imperial physician saw that no one was talking, he stood up and said, "Prince, this medicine powder is just an inducement and cannot exactly cause illness. The empress dowager is more likely to be harmed by this medicine powder because she is old and weak."
The emperor frowned tightly and stared at the direction of Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu wanted to say something, but she heard the emperor say word by word: "Concubine Shu dares to poison the queen mother, come and throw her into the cold palace!"
Concubine Shu widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief: "Your Majesty, I haven't done this."
Although her voice was not very panic, she could still hear a slight tremor.
At this moment, a little palace maid beside Concubine Shu knelt on the ground with a thud and took out the powder in her arms: "I also asked the emperor to spare Concubine Shu, most of which was done by a servant, and it was not about the empress.
thing."
Someone took the thing forward and took it from the palace maid's hand. The powder hidden in the purse was exactly the same as the remaining ones on the petals.
Concubine Shu widened her eyes and then realized what kind of trap she had fallen into.
She stared at the little palace maid kneeling on the ground, and finally stopped struggling, and the coldness in her eyes gradually became stronger.
The emperor was so angry that he said to the person behind him: "There are all evidence and physical evidence, Shufei, what else do you have to say?"
The anger was so intense that it directly touched the emperor's eyebrows and eyes. His eyes were full of disappointment. In the end, Shufei said nothing and turned around and was taken away.
Concubine Shu, who is most favored by the emperor, was sent to the cold palace today.
The Queen will preside over the ceremony for the Heaven Sacrifice Three days later.
When the emperor saw that Concubine Shu was arrested, he was in a bad mood. He shook his sleeves and walked out of Cining Palace. Seeing this, Wen Yao moved slightly.
She wanted to step forward to stop the emperor, but she felt that it was a little bad.
Because I don’t understand the rules in this palace, it is very likely that if I accidentally get caught by Concubine Nan and others, I will lose my head.
While he was bowing his head and thinking, Wen Yao suddenly felt a powerful force coming, and someone was pushing her behind him.
She frowned and turned around subconsciously, but she did not see anyone taking action. Her body had already rushed out helplessly because she lost her balance, and happened to block the old emperor's way out.
Gently gritting his teeth, Wen Yao's reaction was very fast.
"Yao'er, please see the Emperor!"
She immediately reported her identity, slowly raised her head, revealing her delicate and beautiful face. The emperor lowered her eyes, and the face was still cold and not moved at all.
Fortunately, there was not much murderous intention: "What's the matter?"
The middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe was filled with a strong majesty. When he stood here, he felt that the air around him became solemn.
All the concubines dared not show off because they knew that the emperor was angry at this time. If one sentence was wrong, it would be a sin to lose his head.
Wen Yao took a deep breath: "The Queen Mother is not feeling well now, and Yao'er is also very worried. And I have heard of a way to quickly cure the disease of stroke. I want to talk to the emperor."
When the queen saw Wen Yao, she was obviously confused in her eyebrows and heard her words, her heart tightened slightly.
This Wen Yao...
Wen Yao's mouth in front of him was clear, which was obviously different from what he had seen before. All his stupidity disappeared, revealing his clear and bright eyes.
The queen only felt the coldness gradually on her back, and felt the thin coldness flowing through her bone marrow.
In her mind, she recalled the scene when Wen Yao pulled out her Zhuchai and stabbed her on her body, which also made her realize that Wen Yao was a person who was cruel to him.
"Your Majesty, you see what I said is right. She has been pretending to be stupid for a long time. Now that I have recovered, it is only natural. Wen Yao has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, so don't believe her words!"
The emperor looked gloomy and stared at Wen Yao's face tightly.
The eyes were pitch black, but it seemed to be hidden in thousands of galaxies.
Her thin lips were gently pursed, and although the face that was still energetic and powerful, she showed a hint of curiosity: "What do you mean is you have a way to cure the Queen Mother's disease?"
The Queen Mother was just a simple minor illness. Even if Wen Yao had never eaten pork, she had seen many pigs running away. She had been with her friend for so long that she also learned about many symptoms and drugs.
"I just know some very effective folk remedies. As for treating the disease, I have to bother you with the Imperial Doctors."
After all, she is not a doctor, so it’s okay to let her fight, she can’t do such meticulous work.
Concubine Nan curled her lips and looked at Wen Yao: "Look at what you said, your prescription is even more powerful than what the imperial physician prescribes? Could it be that you have also learned medical skills?"
Wen Yao shook his head and smiled at Concubine Nan and said, "You can't know something if you haven't learned it?"
"Who knows whether your method is effective? Did Wen Qing teach his sister the rules in the palace? The prescriptions of this imperial physician have to be selected and used after thousands of choices. You can do it in just one sentence?"
Wen Yao stared at Nan Fei's face, without any unnecessary emotions on her face.
Concubine Nan looked bad, but there was a look of thought in her eyes. After all, she didn't see many like Wen Yao. Although she looked stupid before, she never dared to take it lightly.
Anyone will feel nervous when encountering important things, but Concubine Nan rarely sees anything in her face.
This person is hidden very deeply.
Wen Yao still smiled faintly and refuted the words of Concubine Nan: "The Empress Dowager is now seriously ill. If the Imperial Doctor has a solution, he will not be helpless. The method I said will not pose any threat to the Empress Dowager. Moreover,
I can use my life to guarantee it, not to mention that it is not me who is taking action, but my elder brother Wen Qing, and Concubine Nan is overly worried."
After all, the emperor believed in Wen Qing. When he heard Wen Yao say this, his eyes relaxed: "Yao'er, since you say there is a way, then tell Wen Qing about this. If he really can cure the Queen Mother's disease.
, I will definitely reward you brother and sister with great reward."
Wen Yao felt relaxed, and this sentence from the emperor was enough.
At this critical moment, it is not convenient for her to mention some private matters. When the matter is resolved, the emperor will definitely be in the mood to help her solve it.
Wen Yao can afford to wait, and...
This incident also concerns the safety of Concubine Shu. After all, Concubine Shu is Mo Dongliu's mother. Now that she is imprisoned at this time, she cannot stand by and watch.
If it were someone else, it would be fine. Wen Yao owed Mo Dongliu a favor, and she would find an opportunity to return it to him.
The emotions in my eyes gradually became clear. Wen Yao stood up and wanted to give way to the emperor. Concubine Nan suddenly stopped and stood in front of her: "Why are you here? I remember that you have been demoted to a concubine by His Highness the Third Prince.
, Is a concubine qualified to enter the palace?"
These words came out of Concubine Nan's mouth, and everyone noticed this.
Wen Yao's eyes were solemn, and his hands, which were hanging down, slowly tightened. She looked at Concubine Nan's eyes and said, "I am here to report this to the emperor. I have proved my innocence not long ago.
