The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 884 An Unexpected Alliance

The queen investigated openly, and naturally soon learned some useful information from the people of the Imperial Hospital. Arsenic is not only used as medicine, but also a deadly poison. There are so many people in the palace, and someone will use some of it.

However, the news the queen got was that no one had used arsenic recently, but the imperial concubine was unwell before and always felt dizzy and uncomfortable.

The empress also asked someone to ask the imperial physician who asked Concubine Qing for her pulse at the time. The imperial physician said that Concubine Qing was dizzy and uncomfortable due to insufficient blood supply. There should be no storage.

Since this matter has something to do with Concubine Qing, the Empress naturally wanted to inquire in person, Concubine Qing immediately complained when she heard that the Empress was suspicious of her.

"Empress, the concubine's health has not been very good, the empress empress knows this, the concubine was a little uncomfortable a few days ago, but it happened a long time ago, and the concubine didn't even know that there was arsenic in the medicine How could the concubine keep this taste?"

The queen frowned and said, "Concubine Qing, don't worry. I'm just asking you routinely. After all, the imperial hospital said that you used the medicine of arsenic. It's normal for me to ask. I don't have any doubts about you."

Concubine Qing asked: "Queen, did the imperial hospital say who else has used this medicine?"

The queen shook her head and said nothing.

Concubine Qing was a little angry: "Empress, since no one in the harem has used arsenic except the concubine, does the empress want to say that the arsenic that Qing Zhaoyi drank came from the concubine? The concubine can swear that the concubine really didn't know there was What's more, even if there is such a medicine as arsenic, the courtiers and concubines have already drank it, so there is no way to save it."

"I said it, it's just a routine questioning, and Qing Concubine is so anxious and flustered, it seems to be a problem." Before Qing Concubine could refute, the queen said: "Since you didn't leave arsenic, this matter is fine, there is no need to talk about it anymore .”

"Empress, how can you not say this? You have already said that only one concubine in the harem has used arsenic. Isn't that just saying by name that Zhaoyi's arsenic is from the concubine? If these words reach the emperor In my ears, how should the concubines deal with themselves, and I ask the empress to speak clearly, if the empress really doubts the concubines, just send someone to investigate, and the concubines are willing to cooperate." As he said, he knelt down to the empress down.

The empress frowned, and her voice turned cold: "Concubine Gu complained, but I have ordered the emperor to investigate this matter. It is a normal procedure to inquire about the source of the arsenic. If you have any doubts, just go and tell the emperor. I don't have much free time to talk nonsense with you." After saying that, the queen got up and made a gesture to leave.

A murderous look flashed in Concubine Qing's eyes, unexpectedly the Empress walked a few steps and then suddenly turned her head, Concubine Qing hurriedly lowered her head, but the empress still noticed the ferocity.

The queen sneered: "Concubine Qing, I need to remind you that even though you are a cow and a horse by Concubine Qiu's side, you are clear about Concubine Qiu's character. Don't forget the hardships you suffered back then. So, do it yourself."

"Thank you, my concubine, for your teaching."

The queen snorted coldly and left with a flick of her sleeves.

Concubine Qing is a dog who can't bark. She has been with Concubine Qiu for many years, and she must have learned a lot of ruthless methods. The queen is very concerned about the eyes she accidentally saw just now. No one knows what she is planning at the moment of.

If Concubine Qing had really done something, she would definitely not have such an attitude. It seems that the line of the source of the arsenic is still broken, not to mention that the imperial physician also said that the arsenic in Concubine Qing's medicine is only a small amount of a small amount, and it is mixed. Yes, it is simply impossible to pick out enough poisonous arsenic from the medicinal materials, and the women in the harem are extremely sensitive to poisons. These medicinal materials are all processed with the help of the imperial hospital, so it is reasonable for the imperial concubine Qing not to know.

The queen went to Concubine Qing's place to test whether Concubine Qing had anything to do with this matter. Now it seems that Concubine Qing was not involved in this matter, so the arsenic didn't come from the Imperial Hospital, and where did it come from?
Although Yun Lanyue did not participate in this matter, she had also heard about the queen's movements, and after knowing the situation, she was also puzzled.

When Yan Beiqin was reviewing the memorial, Yun Lanyue was by his side, thinking about it left and right, he couldn't figure it out, sighed and said to himself: "Where did this arsenic come from?"

Yan Beiqin raised his eyes and glanced at her: "You can't even think of it?"

"Unexpected." Yun Lanyue looked at Yan Beiqin: "Can you think of it? If this arsenic didn't come from the imperial hospital, it is very likely that it was obtained from the empress of some palace. The woman in the harem, Isn't it normal to have some poison in the house? Perhaps it's not a recent arsenic, but an old one?"

"Haven't you ever thought that the poison is Shen Qingmin's own?"

Yun Lanyue nodded: "I've thought about it, but with Shen Qingmin's current scheming, she shouldn't be so stupid to hide poison, otherwise she wouldn't be so determined to frame Concubine Gu, it seems that we can't find the real culprit Same."

Yan Beiqin's heart moved, and he asked again: "In this harem, who is proficient in using poison, have you heard of it?"

Yun Lanyue shook her head, but couldn't figure out who it was, just about to say something, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she immediately jumped up, startling Yan Beiqin.

"Qiqi, what are you doing, don't lose your temper if you can't figure it out."

Yun Lanyue suddenly realized, and said, "It's not that I can't think of it, but I have thought of it."

"Thought it? Who is it?"

"Didn't you just say that someone is proficient in poisoning? It was your words that reminded me, Qin, do you still remember Liu Zhaoyi?"

Yan Beiqin nodded: "I have an impression, the one who poisoned Concubine Rui at the Qiuhun paddock the year before last."

"That's right, it's her." Yun Lanyue said in a deep voice: "Actually, I know the cause and effect of this incident. Concubine Rui was poisoned by Tripterygium vine, but the truth is that Liu Zhaoyi never poisoned Concubine Rui. , All of this is Concubine Rui's frame for Liu Zhaoyi, in fact Concubine Rui is a master of poison, and the poison of Tripterygium vine was poisoned by herself."

Yan Beiqin raised his eyebrows and smiled: "So, all the mysteries of this case have been solved?"

Yun Lanyue shook her head subconsciously, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that Shen Qingmin would join forces with Concubine Rui? What happened in the harem is really changing rapidly. Who would have thought that Concubine Rui and Concubine Qing could not beat each other?" Those who come together will join forces to harm Concubine Gu, but what is their intention?"

Yan Beiqin put down the memorial in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Gu and Shen Qingmin live in the same palace, Shen Qingmin is naturally worried about her, not to mention, if something happens to Concubine Gu, Xuanhua Palace will be vacated, Qing Zhaoyi After suffering such a great grievance, the emperor might promote her as a way of comforting her."
