After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 348 Comfort
Earlier, Concubine Luo picked up Niu Niu from school. As soon as she entered Shoukang Palace, she saw the empress dowager smiling, and she knew that the noble lady was in a good mood that day.

Lady Luo was now very familiar with the Queen Mother. After paying her respects, she said as if jokingly, "Queen Mother, you don't know that after half a day's lesson with her father, our Niuniu has become a puppy's nose. You insisted that I smelled strange today, even though I was using the same incense as yesterday."

Niuniu said: "It's different. I think this smell is terrible. I feel uncomfortable immediately after smelling it."

There was nothing abnormal about Luo Meiren, the person who faced the incense directly. It was really hard for her to think too deeply about it, but when she saw the uncomfortable look on the little girl's face, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"I'll go back and take a shower now, dear, you should have a good rest." Lady Luo made up her mind that even if she got a bald skin after washing herself today, she would not let the dear feel uncomfortable.

The empress dowager suddenly became alert. Niu Niu was her treasure. Concubine Luo was close to Niu Niu and she was often favored in recent days. The child in the dream might be her. The empress dowager did not want any accidents to happen to either of them.

The fact that Niu Niu is blessed has been stamped by the Empress Dowa. If even Fuwa feels that something is wrong, maybe there really is something wrong.

"Li Shunfu, take your people to Concubine Luo's palace and check it carefully." The Queen Mother ordered.

Li Shunfu is an old man who has accompanied the Queen Mother throughout all the palace fights. He knows a thing or two about the methods used by the people in the palace. The Queen Mother can only feel at ease if he investigates.

Lady Luo thought of the Queen Mother's poisoning, which was still unclear. Her face turned pale. She was about to hug Niuniu, but suddenly she remembered that she still had a strange fragrance on her body. She was so scared that she could only take a few steps away from Niuniu: "Queen Mother, is there anyone who wants to use me to harm you and Niuniu?"

She looked terrified and guilty.

The Queen Mother glanced at her. Having been with this person for quite some time, she could naturally tell that she was a shallow-minded person who did not have much experience in palace fighting and would be easily framed.

As for whether Lady Luo wants to harm people?

The Queen Mother easily dismissed this idea. She and Niu Niu were now considered Lady Luo's supporters. Only a crazy person would do such a thing that would harm others and themselves.

"Don't be too scared. It's not certain that someone has really done anything. But it's better to be careful than not." The Queen Mother said casually.

With the Queen Mother's comfort, Lady Luo reluctantly relaxed. However, when she thought that there might be unusual incense on her body, her breathing could not help but become lighter.

Concubine Luo now lives in Yongfu Palace, which is very close to Shoukang Palace. Li Shunfu's search of the palace was sudden. The people in Yongfu Palace were completely unprepared and did not receive the news in advance. Naturally, they did not have time to pack up many things.

Li Shunfu didn't spend much effort to find a box of incense.

Three imperial physicians also came from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The reason why Imperial Physician Li was able to poison the Empress Dowager was because of his status as an imperial physician, which meant he was in the dark.

Now that the three imperial doctors are together, they can verify each other and there is no need to worry about anyone hiding something.

"Empress Dowager, Miss Luo, this incense looks like the calming incense that the concubines in the palace usually use, but in fact, a different spice has been added to it, and it has become a poisonous incense."

Listening to the slightly trembling report from the old doctor, the empress dowager looked extremely unhappy. She had never known that the harem had become like a sieve, with trouble happening every other day.

"How toxic is it? What will happen if it is used all the time?" the Queen Mother asked. The three doctors looked at each other, and the oldest one stood up and said, "The smell of this poison incense is very similar to that of the tranquilizing incense. People with sensitive noses may not be able to tell the difference. If used for a long time, the poison will slowly invade the heart and lungs. After one or two years, the person will become confused and gradually become mentally ill."

Concubine Luo turned pale with horror, she had never expected that after only a few days of being favored by the imperial concubine, she would be plotted against like this. She had only been punished with house arrest for offending the imperial concubine before, but now they wanted her to go crazy!
If a concubine goes crazy, it goes without saying what will happen to her in the future!

The Queen Mother thought more and asked, "What would happen if the poison harmed a pregnant woman or a child of six or seven years old?"

The Queen Mother's words were too explicit.

The three imperial doctors resisted the urge to look around, and the other servants in the hall also looked at Lady Luo with surprise.

Even Luo Meiren looked confused at this moment. Could it be that she was pregnant? How come she didn't know?

After a moment, Lady Luo gave up the idea. After all, she had only been restored to favor for a few days, so there was no way she could find out about the child.

The old doctor suppressed his thoughts and replied, "Your Majesty, if a pregnant woman continues to use this incense, it will definitely harm the fetus and herself. I'm afraid she won't be able to save the child."

"As for children aged six or seven, they are weaker than adults. If they are exposed to the smoke for a few months, they will become stupid and sluggish, and their lives may be in danger."

As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, the empress dowager's face turned as black as ink.

Compared to the baby in Luo Meiren's belly, Niu Niu, who likes to stay with Luo Meiren every day, is the more dangerous one.

Nanny Sun whispered, "Empress Dowager, Niuniu is the daughter of an outsider after all. Although she is favored by you, the concubines in the palace have no reason to do anything to her. The person they are targeting should still be Concubine Luo."

The Queen Mother could naturally understand this, but she still couldn't help her anger. Even if her beloved was just an innocent bystander, the superior would still feel that her authority was challenged.

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me!" ordered the Queen Mother.

When the emperor hurried over, he just happened to hear these words, frowned slightly, and glanced at Qian Rongsheng behind him: "Send someone to help the empress dowager investigate."

He knew about the poisonous incense on his way here. He was relieved to learn that the Queen Mother was safe and sound, thinking it must be a common fight for favor among the concubines in the harem.

When the emperor saw Concubine Luo's pale, panic-stricken and helpless face, he felt sorry for her and ordered the palace servants beside him, "Concubine Luo has suffered an unexpected disaster this time. I feel very sorry for her and grant her the title of 'Shun' as a token of consolation."

After being bestowed with the title, Concubine Luo was half a level higher than other beauties of the same level, and the emperor felt that he had appeased her.

The Queen Mother thought the reward was too little, but the Emperor's words were golden, so she did not refute it. Instead, she said, "Emperor, it's a good thing that Niuniu was alert and was the first to find out that the spices were not right. If it had been fumigated for a long time and Concubine Luo was pregnant before she found out, it would have been too late to regret it."

When the emperor heard this and thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

The Queen Mother continued, "The incense that Lady Luo received was all sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The person behind the plot was able to send poisonous incense to Lady Luo today. Who knows if he will send it to the Emperor someday?"
