Transcending into a goddess farmer

Chapter 399 Ambergris

Hearing Eunuch Zhao's words, the emperor couldn't help but frowned: "According to what you said, the poisoning of the students in the palace examination has nothing to do with them?"

Eunuch Zhao replied with a smile: "The slave is only reporting the truth, whether there is any connection depends on the results of the investigation by the Jinwu Guard."

The emperor thought about it carefully. At that time, there was a student in the palace bleeding from the seven orifices, and he was very uncomfortable when he arrived. He knew that someone had poisoned behind his back, so he hurriedly asked Eunuch Zhao to pass on an order, ordering the forbidden army to surround the gate of the palace and the gate of the Jinluan Palace. No one is allowed in and no one is allowed out.

Then the toxicity broke out, the emperor fell into a coma, and the imperial physicians worked hard for a long time before resuscitating him. In the end, the development of the matter was brought under control, thanks to the divine physician Qin.

At present, it seems that the three princes have nothing to do with the poisoning incident that occurred in the palace examination.Not to mention anything else, just using poison pills to test the problem can explain the problem.

If one of the three really had the intention of coercing the palace to usurp the throne, knowing that the pills are poisonous, they would most likely go all out and usurp the throne directly under duress. After all, eating poisoned pills is death, and seeking power and usurping the throne is also death.

But the three princes took the poisonous pill without any resistance, the fourth prince was the most agile, the third prince hesitated a little, although the prince showed some resistance, he still obediently swallowed the pill after all.

So what happened in the imperial examination this time may really have nothing to do with the three princes.

But if it's not about the princes, whose business is it?Could it be that it was done by the family members?
Because I vigorously dismissed some of the descendants of the aristocratic families from their official positions at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, and also paid great attention to the performance of the imperial examination this spring, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor has begun to suppress the aristocratic families vigorously, and thus began to support officials from poor families.The emperor had to wonder if he suppressed the aristocratic family too hard, and he was too obvious in supporting the poor family. This made the interests of the aristocratic family unhappy, so he made a black hand during the palace examination to make the poor family students unable to stand out ?

The emperor felt in his heart that such a possibility was relatively high, but there was no conclusive evidence yet.

Yes, before finding conclusive evidence, all previous speculations are just speculations.It doesn't necessarily mean that the three princes are innocent, and it doesn't mean that this matter must be done by everyone in the family.

Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Eunuch Zhao: "Go and see how the Jinwu Guard is doing."

Eunuch Zhao took orders and went to the front hall.

Not long after, Jin Wuwei followed Eunuch Zhao to report the matter.

"After a thorough investigation by the minister, what happened during the palace examination was that someone secretly poisoned him." Jin Wuwei's expression was a little heavy, and he didn't know whether the students who died in the palace examination were silently mourning or worried that this case was too difficult.

The emperor said: "I really know that the examinees have been poisoned. I ask you, can you find out who poisoned them and where did they put them?"

The Jinwu Guard had a problem: "Who poisoned me, I am investigating. As for where the poisoner put the poison, I guessed that the poison should be in the burning ambergris in the hall."

"Amberis?" The emperor wondered if he had heard it wrong. "Amberx has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep. In the past one or two years, the entire Qinzheng Hall has been burning with ambergris, and there are direct reports from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Check, how did you get poisoned?"

Jin Wuwei replied: "The poison is quite strange. If you just burn the incense, it will not do much harm to people, but when the incense meets ink, it will produce a poisonous smell to people. If you smell it for a long time, you will be in a coma in mild cases, and in severe cases. The seven orifices bleed to death. At that time, they were taking the palace examination, and the results of the palace examination were related to the candidates' future prospects, so even if they felt a little unwell, the candidates would grit their teeth and persevere, so many candidates survived until the poisoning was so deep that the seven orifices bleed..."

Hearing this, the emperor sighed slightly: "Thanks to the genius doctor Qin, wouldn't those emperor's disciples who were selected layer by layer all die!"

That's what I said, but people who have been sitting on the dragon chair for a long time are somewhat suspicious. Whether it is as the Jin Wuwei said, someone tampered with the ambergris remains to be further verified.

So the emperor glanced at Eunuch Zhao, and Eunuch Zhao understood, and quietly withdrew.

The emperor continued to discuss the case with Jin Wuwei: "Since you think there is something wrong with the incense burned in the hall, you can further investigate the source of the incense, so as to dig out the person who tampered with the incense."

Jin Wuwei replied: "I think so too, and I will go to the House of Internal Affairs later to find out who is the business that makes incense for the palace."

In order to make it easier for Jin Wuwei to lead his men into and out of the palace to search for clues, the emperor sent an oral order to remove the imperial guards guarding the palace gates everywhere.

After listening to Jin Wuwei's report, the emperor asked him to step down and continue investigating the case.

Not long after the Jinwu guards retired, Eunuch Zhao came back and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, just now, this servant took a cat in his arms and tried it with the ambergris left in the hall. Start bleeding from the seven orifices!"

"So, the clue found by the Jinwu Guard is true." The emperor thought deeply.

Eunuch Zhao replied with a smile: "No, the Jinwu Guard appointed by the emperor is quite capable."

"Yes, it's easy for a courtier to be able to be a monarch. That's why I must put all my heart into selecting pillars." After muttering this sentence, the emperor said worryingly, "I'm afraid that nothing will be found in the end of this case." I can't find out, from the palace to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the merchants outside, there are too many places that can be manipulated. Since the poisoner dared to do such a thing, he must have thought about it in advance way out."

Eunuch Zhao echoed, "What the emperor said makes sense."

"Forget it, this matter will be discussed after the Jinwu Guards have finished their investigation. I am really tired now. Wait for me to take a nap." One thing happened one after another. For several hours, the emperor was not only shocked by the poison, but also He kept turning his head and thinking about it all the time, coupled with his advanced age, he couldn't take it anymore after seeing the slight development of the case of poisoning in the palace test today, and wanted to stay in bed for a while.

Eunuch Zhao felt sorry for his master, he undressed the emperor while persuading him: "Your Majesty, please sleep a little longer, it won't delay the reading of those memorials a day later."

The emperor raised his hand and stopped Eunuch Zhao's words. What an emperor needs to do, he doesn't need an eunuch to intervene.

Eunuch Zhao had no choice but to shut up, pulled a bright yellow quilt to cover the emperor, put down the curtain, and prepared to burn ambergris to calm the emperor's mind, but just as he touched the incense, he suddenly remembered that the incense was poisonous, so he hurriedly stop.In the past two years, the emperor must light incense every time he falls asleep. As a slave, I am a bit used to it. Fortunately, I wake up quickly. Who knows if the ambergris in the apse has been tampered with. If I really want to light it, it will be a bad thing.
