Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 160 Poisoning (1)

Shen Yuechen was startled, her body's reaction was a little slow, but then she bent down and retched.However, she just took a sip and couldn't spit it out at all.

Ruan Linluo's complexion changed drastically, and she immediately called Mother Tang and said, "Let her spit out the tea."

With a cold face, Tang Nanny stretched out her hand to support Shen Yuechen, without thinking too much, opened her mouth with her hand, and directly picked her throat with her fingers, causing her to spit it out quickly.

"Hurry up and call the imperial physician to see what's in this tea?"

Ruan Linluo looked at Shen Yuechen bending over to vomit, and her heartstrings became even tighter. She raised her eyes and glanced at the maids around her, and said in a deep voice, "Who made this tea just now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a court lady in Tsing Yi and a double bun knelt tremblingly on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Go back to the empress, the tea is brewed by the maidservants."

Ruan Linluo looked her up and down, then pointed to the tea bowl on the table, "What's in this tea?"

The palace maid's face was pale, and her whole body was trembling, she said, "Your Majesty, there are only tea leaves in this tea... The maidservant didn't put anything in it except tea leaves."

Speaking of this, Shen Yuechen, who had already vomited twice, felt uncomfortable in her stomach, but before she could stand still, she suddenly felt dizzy, followed by blackness in front of her eyes, and she felt unconscious. Fall backward.

What was in the tea bowl? After the imperial physicians came over, they found out within a short while.

It turned out that there was oleander juice in it.Oleander is bitter in taste, cold in nature, and the whole plant is poisonous. Once taken in excess, it can kill.

The poisonous juice found in the tea this time is the plant juice that has been purified in large quantities, so it is very poisonous.

Although Shen Yuechen vomited it out immediately, he still showed symptoms of poisoning.After the incident, she was temporarily placed in the warm pavilion in the south courtyard of the Imperial Garden, under the care of the imperial physician and maids.Ruan Linluo personally interrogated the court ladies who were in charge of serving the tea. Madam Tang said with a sullen face, "You'd better recruit now, so as not to suffer some flesh and blood, and have a good time."

"You know the rules in the palace, and I have plenty of ways to make people more uncomfortable than death."

Ruan Linluo turned pale with anger because of Shen Yuechen's poisoning.Both bowls of tea were filled with oleander flower juice, obviously, the poisoner came for her, but Shen Yuechen was accidentally involved.

The imperial physicians said that she had symptoms of poisoning, and it is not yet known how poisonous it is, whether it will be life-threatening.

With a solemn face, Ruan Linluo caught a glimpse of two blue and white tea bowls with exquisite patterns on the table, and reached out and swept the porcelain bowls to the ground. The tea bowls shattered, splashing debris all over the floor.

Ruan Linluo looked at the fragments on the ground and said, "Nurse Tang asked them all to kneel down to me."

This was the first time for her to act in such an angry and rude manner. Usually, she never had to personally punish the servants, and the people around her would always act on her behalf.

However, at this moment, she was so excited and angry that she couldn't care less.If something happened to Shen Yuechen, wouldn't she have cost her life in vain, and how could she be worthy of her grandmother's family.

Nanny Tang took the order to do it herself, and directly pressed the maids to kneel on the ground covered with debris. The sharp fragments pierced the flesh in an instant, and were deeply embedded in the flesh and bones. The pain was extremely painful.

Some palace maids screamed in pain as soon as they knelt down, but in the end, Nanny Tang slapped her mouth heavily, "Bold servant girl, dare to shout and scream in front of the empress." After finishing speaking, she raised her foot and stomped heavily. On her leg, let the splinter penetrate fully into her knee.

Ruan Linluo said angrily: "No matter what, no matter what method is used, let them confess who is behind the scenes."

Nanny Tang saluted and replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, under heavy punishment, there must be the truth. The servant girl will definitely be able to explain to your Majesty within half an hour."

She has always kept her word, and she has a strong wrist.No matter who poisoned the person today, as long as there is a little clue, she can follow the clues and find out who is going to harm Concubine Jing.

"However, empress and noble body, how can you see such a blood-stained scene, it is better to go back to the palace to rest for a while, so that you can calm down."

How could Ruan Linluo be in the mood to rest now, she thought for a while and said, "I'll go over to see Mrs. Shen, you guys should hurry up and do a thorough investigation before the emperor comes over."

Before the truth of the matter came to light, Ruan Linluo didn't want to alarm the emperor, after all, this was a matter of the harem, and Shen Yuechen was a relative.

Inside the Qinzheng Hall.

Li Zheng spent the whole morning crouching on the dragon case reviewing the memorials, while Chen Gonggong, the chief executive, was waiting by the side, bringing him tea and water from time to time, grinding and laying paper for him from time to time, doing everything by himself, never letting the people around him The little eunuch intervened.

Eunuch Chen, formerly known as Chen Tai, entered the palace at the age of 13. Fortunately, he was promoted by the old eunuch master and could serve by Li Zheng's side.

Although Li Zheng was the crown prince, strictly speaking, he was the second son of the late emperor. He was born to the empress of the palace who was born in a famous family.Because the eldest son of the emperor died before the full moon, the first emperor established Li Zheng as the prince and the country after the full moon.

In terms of appearance, Li Zheng looks handsome.In terms of knowledge, Li Zheng was smart and studious since he was a child.In terms of character, although Li Zheng has a ruthless personality, he is also considered a courageous and resourceful person.

Chen Tai has always been loyal to Li Zheng, and he believes that he has followed a good master.

After a while, Chen Tai heard the news from Shuiyue Palace, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, he hurried in, knelt down and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, what happened to Concubine Jing just now?"

Li Zhengzheng was a little tired. Hearing what he said, he frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Chen Tai bowed his body and replied: "I heard that someone tampered with the tea served by the empress. The empress is fine, but unfortunately a wife of the empress's relative's family was poisoned."

"Poisoned!" When Li Zheng heard these two words, he was immediately annoyed. He dropped his big hand, slapped it heavily on the table, and said sharply, "Who is it? Which lifeless thing is it?"

Seeing that he was angry, Chen Tai knelt down on the ground with a plop, and replied: "The emperor calm down, be careful of the dragon's body. The Shuiyue Palace is investigating the matter thoroughly. Fortunately, Concubine Jing is fine, and the servant will send someone over immediately have a look."

Li Zheng was very concerned about Ruan Linluo's safety. Although he heard that she was fine, he couldn't rest assured, so he just ordered: "Go and see for yourself, and tell Concubine Jing that I will go and accompany her after I have dealt with the matter at hand, and let her be at ease." Don't be impatient."

"Yes, I obey." After Chen Tai finished speaking, he bowed and retreated, and hurried to Shuiyue Palace with a group of young eunuchs.

But at this time, Ruan Linluo was not in her bedroom, but went to the South Garden of the Imperial Garden.

After Shen Yuechen's accident, Zhu Yuanlan also hurried over. The incident was so big that everyone in the harem knew about it.

Everyone was discussing in secret, not knowing who would have the guts to touch Concubine Jing who is in the limelight.

After being poisoned, Shen Yuechen remained unconscious and completely lost consciousness.

The imperial physicians ordered the maids to keep drinking the detoxification soup for her, and then made her vomit, and repeated this several times.

Ruan Linluo and Zhu Yuanlan were listening to the movement outside, feeling extremely anxious in their hearts. They were obviously in a terribly anxious state, but they couldn't do anything.

Zhu Yuanlan's eyes were red, she gritted her teeth and said, "Who in the world poisoned you?"

Ruan Linluo also couldn't wait to know who dared to harm her in such a blatant way. Today, Shen Yuechen blocked her for her, otherwise, she would be the unconscious person lying on the bed now.

The more Ruan Linluo thought about it, the more afraid she became, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.At this moment, Chen Tai rushed over with his people, and conveyed the emperor's meaning completely.

After a while, Imperial Physician Wang from the imperial hospital came out and replied, "Return to Concubine Jing, Mrs. Zhu's condition is not very good, you need to observe for half an hour before you know how deep the poison is..."

This Imperial Physician Wang happened to be the one who took Shen Yuechen's pulse at the Zhu family back then.In other words, when he saw Shen Yuechen just now, he felt a little familiar, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help being very surprised.

Ruan Linluo was very dissatisfied after hearing his words, raised her brows and said, "Doctor Wang, I really don't want to hear such words now. If I can't save my life, I have to save it. I don't like to go round and round, so I just put the words here. Today , you can’t save Mrs. Zhu, and no one will have a better time in the future!”

Doctor Wang's face turned pale with fright when he heard the words, he hurriedly bowed to answer, and hurried into the inner room for diagnosis and treatment.

Seeing her daughter's stern words just now, Zhu Yuanlan couldn't help reminding softly: "Your Majesty is impatient, so don't be too strict. Oleander poison is common but difficult to cure. You have to give them some effort and find a way." .”

Ruan Linluo looked at her mother and said sternly: "This time, it is my intention to let my sister-in-law enter the palace, but now, she has been implicated by this palace. If something happens to her, how will I explain to my grandfather's family? How to explain to my cousin?"

She was the one who caused her to be poisoned. She must not let her have any accidents, absolutely not... Seeing that Zhu Yuanlan could not persuade her, she simply did not persuade her. She just helped her to sit aside and said softly: "Wait a minute Well, the child is young and has good bones, so he will be fine."

Ruan Linluo was silent when she heard the words, grabbed her mother's hand, and nodded slightly, but the next second, her eyes were still blushing unconsciously.

On the other side, under Madam Tang's formidable means, some of the maids finally confessed.

Nanny Tang followed what she said, step by step, and finally found out who was behind the scenes.

It turned out that the person who poisoned her was a third-rank beauty, Guo Meiren. She used to be by the prince's side, and she was regarded as the most favored concubine. Unfortunately, her family background was too low and she had no children, so after Li Zheng ascended the throne, she was named a third-rank beauty. She did not become a concubine as she wished.

Guo Meiren was notoriously jealous in the palace, so ever since Ruan Linluo entered the palace, she had always disliked her.In addition, Ruan Linluo was said by everyone to be a phoenix, born to be a queen, which made her even more jealous.

Ever since Ruan Linluo was conferred the title of Concubine Jing, Guo Meiren has been secretly planning this matter.Until, rumors began to spread in the palace that once Concubine Jing gave birth to a prince, she would be promoted to empress. Guo Meiren finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to murder Concubine Jing.

It turned out that she was ready for everything, just a little bit of luck.
