Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 161 Poisoning (2)

There were all witnesses and material evidence, Chen Tai personally led someone to imprison her, but Guo Meiren desperately refused, saying: "This palace is doing this for the emperor, it is all for the emperor! Everyone in the palace It is said that Concubine Jing is the fate of the Phoenix, so I want to try her, to see if she can be reborn as the Phoenix Nirvana..."

Seeing that she still dared to deny it, Chen Tai sneered and said, "Whoever the emperor likes is the phoenix, and the emperor is the emperor, so what the emperor says is God's will, no one needs to try it. My servant kindly advises you, you should confess your guilt obediently Well, in case you don’t even have a whole body left after death.”

Guo Meiren was not able to argue with anything, but now after being ridiculed by Chen Tai, she felt ashamed and could not be captured. She directly bumped into the pillar, wanting to die, but was stopped by the little eunuch.

Chen Tai snorted and said: "Guo Meiren, you can't die at this meeting. If you are dead, what will I take back to the emperor and Concubine Jing?" After finishing speaking, he suddenly stepped forward and pointed at Guo Meiren. With a pale face like paper, he spat heavily: "Bitch! You want to die quickly, but there is no way!"

Guo Meiren was escorted into the dungeon of the criminal room, and only waited for Concubine Jing to find out in person.

Ruan Linluo also sneered when she heard that she wanted to die, "Grandpa Chen has done a good job, don't let that wicked woman die, I will deal with her personally later."

She has never taken anyone's life in her life, but there are already people who can't wait to take her life.When it comes to an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, she will never be soft.

The person who poisoned her was found, but Shen Yuechen remained unconscious, and the maids fed her a bowl of detoxifying soup every hour.The imperial physicians checked her pulse every quarter of an hour to see how her pulse was.

After being so busy for a whole afternoon, before dark, Imperial Physician Wang finally came out with sweat on his brow and said that Shen Yuechen's poison had been stabilized, it would not affect the heart, and there was no danger of his life for the time being.

Hearing this, Ruan Linluo breathed a sigh of relief, slumped on the chair, and said thank you to God silently in her heart.

Zhu Yuanlan was more careful than her, and asked again: "It's good to have a safe life, but when will she wake up?"

Imperial Physician Wang hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "It's not easy for this humble minister to make a judgment, and we need to observe it for another night before we can make a decision."

For one night... Zhu Yuanlan felt rather embarrassed.

Ruan Linluo said, "All of you have to stay here tonight until it is confirmed that Mrs. Zhu is fine."

As the general manager of the imperial hospital, Imperial Physician Wang could only agree, whoever asked the person to speak was the concubine Jing who is the emperor's favorite.

After Zhu Yuanlan saw him go in, she walked up to Ruan Linluo, and said softly: "Madam, the time for locking the palace is about to pass, and the concubine has to go back first."

Ruan Linluo said: "It's already time, the gate of the palace may have been locked long ago, mother should stay in the palace, I will arrange it for you."

Zhu Yuanlan shook his head slightly: "Mother, the concubine must go back first, and the family is waiting. The child is not in good health now, so it's fine if he can't go back. If the concubine doesn't go back, the family may have to worry about it. How about it?"

Ruan Linluo thought about it, so she nodded.

Zhu Yuanlan left the palace before the palace gate was locked.As soon as he left the palace gate, he hurried back to Ruan's house.

At this time, the Ruan family was sitting together, anxiously waiting for Zhu Yuanlan and Shen Yuechen to return.However, after waiting and waiting, in the end only Zhu Yuanlan returned with a disturbed expression.

In the morning, two people entered the palace together, but now there is only one person when they come back. No need to ask, everyone knows that something happened.

As soon as Zhu Yuanlan entered the door, she didn't bother to salute and say hello, she went straight to Zhu Jintang with a serious expression, put her hand on his shoulder lightly, and said carefully: "Jintang, Auntie has something to tell you... Something happened to the child in the palace, someone put oleander poison in Concubine Jing's tea, and the child was poisoned as a result..."

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang felt as if a large basin of ice water poured down from head to toe, freezing his whole body.

His face changed drastically, and he couldn't help frowning deeply, both surprised and angry.

Zhu Yuanlan's words really shocked the Ruan family. Ruan Zhengshan reacted for the first time and asked, "How is your lady?"

Zhu Yuanlan lowered her head and replied: "Your Majesty is fine, she heard that child Yuechen said that the tea was very fragrant, and she sensed something was wrong, so she didn't touch that tea again."

Zhu Jintang took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Where is Yuechen? How is she doing now? Does it matter?"

After Zhu Yuanlan heard this, her eye circles were slightly sour, and she felt guilty, and she really didn't know how to say it, "The imperial doctors said that the poison in her body has stabilized, but they need to observe for another night to know when she will wake up... Jintang, don't be too anxious, the imperial physicians in the palace are the best in medicine, and there is also the empress."

After hearing this, Zhu Jintang knew that Shen Yuechen's condition was not good, so he walked around the spot twice with his hands behind his back, and said anxiously: "She is alone in the palace, if something happens, don't we know nothing about it?" .”

Poisoning is a serious matter, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be fatal.A person who was fine when he got up early, but now his life and death are unknown... Zhu Yuanlan hastily comforted him and said, "Your Majesty won't let anything happen to her, don't worry."

Zhu Jintang's lips moved, but no sound came out.At a time like this, how could I feel relieved, I just felt like my whole heart was being pulled, tight and painful.

Ruan Xiping also personally stepped forward to ask him to sit down, and even put the tea bowl into his hands, saying: "Jintang, don't worry too much, with the empress here, the people in the palace will definitely try their best to save the child .”

Zhu Jintang's hand holding the teacup trembled subconsciously, and suddenly remembered that when Shen Yuechen got up in the morning, he put on his clothes, turned around and smiled at him, his chest was suffocated, as if he was pressed by something, and he couldn't even breathe. Everything became difficult... Ruan Linluo stayed in the imperial garden, unwilling to go back to the palace, until the sedan chair sent by Li Zheng stopped outside the door, and she had no choice but to get up and leave.

Before leaving, she asked Nanny Tang to stay here and take care of Shen Yuechen. If anything happened to her, she would send a message as soon as possible.

Li Zheng had been waiting in Shuiyue Palace for a long time, and when he saw her come back, he looked haggard, his eyes were reddish, and he couldn't help but sighed: "Why do you bother yourself so much, leave it to the imperial physicians to take care of you."

Ruan Linluo was full of guilt at this moment. After hearing this, she slightly raised her head to look at Li Zheng, then quickly knelt down to salute, and wiped her eyes quietly, not wanting him to see her cry.

Li Zheng didn't get up, nor did he comfort her. He only waited for her to calm down before he said to her, "The palace is such a cruel and dangerous place. No one knows what will happen in the next second. Who will harm whom? Who will lose it?" killed?"

He has lived in such a bad environment full of conspiracy and calculations since he was a child, so he is no stranger to such things.

Ruan Linluo hesitated to speak, her heart felt sore, she was about to shed tears, and after a while she murmured: "It's all because of my concubine, it's all because of my concubine who harmed her."

Li Zheng stood beside Ruan Linluo, very close to her. When he heard that she blamed him, he couldn't help frowning slightly, took two steps forward, and gently put his hand on her shoulder, saying in a deep voice. Said: "Fortunately, it's not the concubine's business today, otherwise, I will definitely be reluctant."

Ruan Linluo couldn't help but shudder at his plain words.

I can't bear it... I just can't bear it.

She was quiet for a while, then shook her head secretly. She had nothing to hope for in his heart.

Ruan Linluo wrung her hands together uncomfortably. Hearing him say such words, she couldn't express the feeling in her heart. She just turned her face away, deliberately not looking at his face, but she couldn't stop the tears rolling down her face. Come.

Li Zheng's face was still as cold as ice, without any warmth, he just said: "Don't cry." After speaking, he reached out to lift her chin, so that she could look directly at his face.

Unexpectedly, just as he opened his palm, a drop of crystal tears hit his palm directly.

Li Zheng paused for a moment, then changed his mind, reached out and pulled her into his arms, and said in a deep voice, "Do you really care about that person?"

Although Ruan Linluo was not in the mood to get close to him now, she still leaned tightly on Li Zheng's chest, and said in a slow tone: "I used to go back to Texas to visit relatives, and played and talked with my sister-in-law all day long. She Even though she is only Chen Qie's relative, she has an unusual affinity with Chen Qie, staying with her, Chen Qie only feels closer than her own sisters..."

After Ruan Linluo finished speaking these words softly, her body trembled slightly. The longer she waited, the more uneasy she felt.

Now, although Shen Yuechen's life is not in danger, good or bad is unpredictable, and he doesn't know when she will wake up... Li Zheng looked at her sad and guilty look, and for some reason, those memories that had been hidden in his heart before were also slightly touched After a while, he put his arms around Ruan Linluo's long hair, and slowly stroked her soft cheeks with his slender fingers, "I have sent Guo Meiren to death row, and you can dispose of it yourself, just don't make too much noise , put me in a difficult position."

For him, this was the greatest and most honorable comfort he could give her.

Ruan Linluo had been waiting for his words in her heart, she took the initiative to hold his hand, but unfortunately, his palm was too big for her to hold, so she could only hold his two fingers tightly, saying every word Said calmly: "The emperor is wise, I will never let her go! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, I will not be soft."

For the first time in her life, she felt the breath of death, which was so close to her.And the source of this fear came from all directions in the palace.Guo Meiren is not the only one who wants to harm her. In those places where there is no distinction between light and dark, there are countless people standing behind her, hiding sharp weapons and waiting for the opportunity with malicious intentions.

Tonight is bound to be a sleepless night.

At the Ruan's house at this time, after the initial shock and astonishment, Zhu Jintang slowly calmed himself down, and quickly organized his thoughts in his mind.

The incident of Shen Yuechen's poisoning undoubtedly caused him heartache and entanglement. If he could, he wished he could enter the palace immediately and see her current situation with his own eyes.However, according to his status, let alone entering the palace.
