Chapter 274 Safflower
So Song Anle asked again: "What medicine may be found to be attached to this medicine?"
"If Weichen's diagnosis is correct, it should be a blind red flower."
Song Anle subconsciously glanced at the white of Huaqing. Because red flowers were once her favorite type of tea, she thought of her first consciousness, but she did not doubt her, because the safflower tea she took was all treated tea and should not belong to the medicine category.
Gao Yuanshang finally recovered from his regret. This accident was directly related to He Song's Anle. He didn't believe it was all coincidence. Moreover, as long as she was pregnant with Hu, only Hu's children could endanger her status. So it was obvious that she tried every means to go out to this child.
The more Gao Yuan Shang analyzed the ins and outs of the matter, the more rational he became. So he said coldly: "Since this medicine appears in the tonics rewarded by the imperial concubine, all these tonics will be checked one by one, and I will supervise them personally."
"I obey the order." The imperial physician nodded and called the imperial physician beside him to help test the remaining tonic.
Song Anle didn't believe that the tonic given to her by the queen would appear safflower that hurt the fetus. If the queen was willing to harm her, why should she pay so much attention to her children? So this safflower must have been added to Hu's medicine later.
Under the intense test of several imperial physicians, everyone was waiting nervously. Some were looking forward to a result, while others were waiting to watch the show. Anyway, they had their own thoughts, but none of them dared to speak.
Song Anle stood for a long time, and with her already poor body, she felt overdrawn after exhausting her physical strength. Although she was still standing upright, the red bamboo that came with her had already seen the fine sweat beads on her forehead, so she moved a stool from the side and secretly sent it behind her.
Although it was said to be secret, Hongzhu's actions were also seen in everyone's eyes. Song Anle was really dissatisfied, so she looked at Gao Yuanshang, as if she was seeking his permission. However, Gao Yuanshang did not express her opinion. She could only think it was a kind of accusation, so she sat down.
After an hour-long test, the imperial physician finally stopped and walked to Gao Yuanshang and said, "Reported to the eldest prince, all these tonics have been examined. Only one blood ginseng was found, mixed with a little safflower, which was generally not distinguishable by the naked eye. After treatment, the smell of the safflower was covered, so it is usually impossible to find it."
Gao Yuanshang said coldly again: "Pick up the blood ginseng."
The imperial physician handed over a small exquisite brocade box and immediately made a blood ginseng that was dismantled. The fiery red color was as dazzling as blood. It happened that the red flowers were also fiery red color, so the gods who were mixed with the blood ginseng may not be able to distinguish them.
"How can the imperial concubine explain the origin of these blood ginseng?" Gao Yuanshang handed the brocade box in front of Song Anle, without any concern that the smell of the saffron flowers would hurt her children.
"These blood ginsengs were given by me, but this thing has been opened. I do not guarantee that someone would do something secretly, so I will keep the explanation for the time being." Song Anle could only be glad that she had at least the opportunity to retain her explanation due to insufficient evidence.
"The imperial concubine means that someone tampered with the tonic given by the imperial concubine, and successfully assassinated Hu, and also framed the imperial concubine?" Gao Yuanshang's analysis clearly summarized Song Anle's thoughts, but he did not want to protect her, but helped her explain her ideas, so he was also looking for clues.
But Song Anle did not appreciate his affection because she didn't want to express her opinion so early, at least she wouldn't offend the murderer so quickly.
So she said lightly: "I just think that this matter needs to be investigated. As for the intention of the murderer behind the scenes, I guess they can only be solved one by one after the murderer is arrested."
At this time, Liao said sarcastically: "This medicine is given by the imperial concubine. Even if the medicine is opened, the suspicion cannot be completely eliminated. I think someone has done something wrong and thinks that the world is perfect, but he doesn't want the old genius to be the fairest person."
Chen also said at this time: "My sister Liao's words are reasonable. I think that no matter how much this medicine is said, it is also the use of the imperial concubine. If the imperial concubine can shirk the suspicion with just one word, then what is the law of nature? How can this move convince the public?"
"That's right, that's it." Several concubines also got involved, and Zhang did not forget to stand up for the concubine Wu, so she said sharply: "The imperial concubine herself has ill-behaved. She must be worried that Sister Hu's child would endanger her child's status, so she took the blame. Otherwise, the matter of Concubine Wu would have directly related to the imperial concubine, which is too coincidental."
Everyone pointed the signs at Song Anle, and even if Song Anle was reasonable, she could not speak so much, so she simply stopped making unnecessary explanations.
At this time, the newly-finished Liu family could not bear to see that they were so mean, but she was low-key, so she just said softly: "I think there are many suspicious points in this matter. It would be too hasty for the sisters to push the suspicion to the imperial concubine so resolutely. It would be better to ask Sister Hu's personal palace servants for inquiries, and maybe you can find the suspicion."
Zhang glanced at Liu with a contemptuous look on his face, and suddenly said, "I am worthy of being promoted by the imperial concubine, and I really know how to repay kindness."
Liao said, "So what if you are grateful? You are not just a little concubine now."
Liu has tried her best. Facing so many powerful characters, it is better for her to hide, so she lowered her face and said that she would not say more.
No matter what, for Song Anle, Liu was the first person to come out to help her boldly. Even if she didn't help much, she felt relieved.
Gao Yuanshang listened to the argument for a long time and had a general ruling in his heart. However, in order to convince the public, he also decided to check the details, so he said coldly: "Come here, send all the palace servants here to ask."
Several Hu's personal palace servants soon crawled in the hall one by one. Gao Yuanshang asked again: "Who are you serving your master's meal?"
A little palace maid in the hall said, "Go back to the eldest prince, he is a servant."
"Have you noticed that there was an abnormality in the master's diet?"
"I allocate meals to the young master according to the amount prescribed by the imperial physician every day, and no abnormalities were found."
Gao Yuanshang paused for a moment. I guess these palace servants had heard about the imperial physician just now, so the current inquiry was probably in vain, but he still asked: "Then are these blood ginseng made by you?"
The little palace maid said fearlessly: "It was made by me by myself."
"You don't know at all that is mixed with red flowers?" Gao Yuanshang deliberately showed suspicion in his words, and wanted to test whether the little palace maid would show his flaws.
The little palace maid said anxiously: "I have not studied medicinal materials, so I really don't know that there are red flowers in it. If I knew, I would never let the little master take these. I hope the eldest prince will make the decision for our little master."
Although the little palace maid was anxious, she still did not panic at all, so it seemed that there should be no lying, so Gao Yuanshang asked again: "Who else can you contact these blood ginsengs besides you?"
"These are treasures, and when the imperial concubine rewarded her, there were not much left, so few people would notice it."
Gao Yuanshang frowned and finally found a breakthrough, but he said in a confirmatory tone: "Are you saying that these blood ginseng were not delivered in a complete pack?"
"It is said that the imperial concubine took a little while, and then she learned that we had taken the initiative to have a fetal aura, so she sent someone to send the rest."
Even Song Anle herself almost forgot that after she used two pairs of blood ginseng, she asked Mei Xin and the rewarded items to send them together. She was afraid that she could not explain it clearly.
When the blood ginseng was sent, it had been seized, which was undoubtedly the biggest progress, so the previous suspicion of Song Anle also prompted her to enter the biggest suspicion.
Everyone must have realized it immediately and had no objection anymore, so Chen said at this time: "I know that things are not that simple. Blood ginseng is a rare treasure. Who would have been willing to give it out easily? I didn't expect that it really had ulterior motives."
"The imperial concubine just now did not tell the blood ginseng to be sent after being unpacked. Could it be that the imperial concubine was unaware of it, or was she forgotten for a moment of nervousness, or was she afraid of something?" Zhang smiled proudly. Song Anle was suspected of not being able to clear her eyes. She wanted to see how Song Anle could turn the situation around.
Gao Yuanshang was too lazy to pay attention to those who watched the show or even those who were sowed out of it, so he said coldly: "Where should the imperial concubine explain this?"
"The blood ginseng has indeed been seized. I have nothing to say about this matter, but I am also taking it, so there is no possibility of red flowers in it. Even if I am determined to murder Hu Xiaozhu, I will not bet on my children. I hope the eldest prince will clearly observe this matter." Song Anle was the only thing he could fight for himself without any profit.
Chen took the mouth and said, "What the imperial concubine said is bad. If I were you, I would definitely take out my own portion before I murdered her and then send out the portion mixed with red flowers. Wouldn't it be very easy to succeed?"
She was originally a person who celebrated the festival and repeatedly pointed the finger at her. Song Anle was not surprised. She was facing a blind spot set by others. She could not be released easily, but she could not find a way out, so she could only struggle in the small space and even faced suffocation.
