Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 5 Poisoning
The imperial doctor asked Tao'er, "What did the princess eat these days?"

Tao'er is Princess Yili's close friend, so she is very clear about her daily life, "Back to the imperial doctor, the princess's diet is not the same as in the past, because the attempt to commit suicide two days ago hurt her foundation, so the past two days have been very difficult. I used ginseng to make soup for nourishment, occasionally ate some porridge, and drank medicine, but I didn’t eat anything else.”

The imperial doctor frowned, "This is strange."

The emperor asked displeasedly: "Doctor, what's going on?"

The imperial doctor knelt up straight and cupped his hands and replied, "Your Majesty, I suspect that the princess has been poisoned."

"Poisoned?" The emperor sneered, "Isn't she crazy?"

The imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty, there is a kind of poison in this world. If you use it, you will lose your sanity, have hallucinations, and even act like a madman to hurt others or yourself."

The emperor's expression gradually turned grim, "What poison?"

"Mandala!"

As soon as the word mandala came out, Master Chen asked in amazement: "Isn't this mandala a flower? Why is it poisonous? I remember that there is also a mandala plant in my mansion. Why haven't I seen the mandala plant in my mansion?" People are poisoned?"

The imperial doctor smiled and explained: "Master Chen, this mandala is indeed a flower, but it is indeed poisonous. If there is only one plant, or if you just smell its fragrance, it will only have an exciting effect at most. If you boil Luo into medicine and drink it, you will go mad and lose your mind like a princess, and even have all kinds of hallucinations."

"You mean, her current condition is that she drank the concoction of datura?" the emperor asked sternly.

The imperial doctor cupped his hands and replied, "Exactly!"

The emperor stared at Qinghe's soulless face. She had been needled, her eyes were dull, her hands were drooping on the ground, and she was in a panic. He remembered that there were several mandala flowers in Suhe Palace.

Could it be that she didn't want to get married, so she took mandala concoction, which made her delirious and lost her mind and escaped the fate of getting married?
His face gradually became indifferent, and he snorted, "Come here, drive Su He Gong."

Eunuch Xi went to deliver a message, Su Hegong seemed to be on the verge of a formidable enemy, Shang Guifei led several concubines of Su Hegong out to meet them.

Su Guiren knelt at the door anxiously, his body trembling slightly because of his worry and panic.

When she saw Shengjia coming, and saw Yi'er being escorted back, she looked as if she had been tortured, she couldn't help crying and knelt down, "Your Majesty, please spare Yi'er, she doesn't dare, Never dare again."

When the emperor heard this, he looked down at Su Guiren condescendingly, "She dare not do anything?"

Su Guiren cried and said: "She doesn't dare to seek death anymore. She went to the emperor to plead guilty and ask the emperor to forgive her for being ignorant before. The emperor should spare her."

"Don't dare to seek death? This time she went directly to the lake outside my imperial study, is that called not daring to seek death?" The emperor said angrily with a livid face.

Su Guiren turned pale with fright, shook her head absentmindedly and murmured: "No, she said she was going to plead guilty when she went out, and she said she was willing to marry to Beimo."

As soon as Su Guiren's voice fell, Qinghe jumped up, threw himself in front of Su Guiren and cried, "No, I don't want to marry in Beimo. Taoer said that after I marry in Beimo, I will be tortured to death. She Said that the emperor of Beimo hates his father, he will definitely use all means to torture me, save me, nobleman save me, I don't want to marry in Beimo, Taoer... Taoer..."

She turned around and looked for Tao'er like a lunatic. After hearing her words, Tao'er's legs were already paralyzed from fright. Seeing her rushing towards her, she hurriedly waved her hands, "Princess, this servant didn't say..."

Qinghe held Tao'er, with a anxious expression on his face, and kept saying: "Tao'er, you said that as long as I hang myself, my father will be soft-hearted and don't need me to make a marriage. You lied to me, you lied to me..."

At the end of her speech, she had a fierce look in her eyes, and she bit Tao'er's ear and pulled it hard, only to see blood splatter, Tao'er's ear was bitten off violently by her.

Tao'er only felt a burst of tearing pain, she screamed, and pushed Qinghe away, ignoring the bleeding from her ears, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, the princess is crazy, I can't believe what the princess says!" what!"

The emperor's voice was cold and majestic, "Come here, search Suhe Palace, every corner must be searched carefully, including the medicine residue in the small kitchen."

"Yes!" The guard got the order and hurriedly led the people in to search.

Seeing that the emperor was furious, Shang Gui had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, the sun is poisonous today, let's go in and cool off."

The emperor snorted, "It's obvious that you, Su He's palace lord, are not capable."

Concubine Shang's face turned pale for a while, "Yes, the concubine is guilty!"

She gouged out Tao'er fiercely, although she didn't know what happened now, but the emperor wanted to search the palace with great fanfare, no matter what was found, she could not escape the guilt.

The emperor entered the inner hall and waited. Not long after, the guard came over with a box and a basket of medicinal residues, knelt on the ground and said, "Return to the emperor, these medicinal residues were found in the small kitchen and have been discarded in the swill bucket. And this box contains some dried leaves and flowers, I don't know if the emperor wants to search for it."

The emperor glanced at the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor stepped forward to check it. He first opened the box, smelled it, and said, "Return to the emperor, this is a mandala."

"Look at these medicinal residues again!" The emperor said coldly, his eyes were so deep that it was hard to see what was going on in his heart.

The imperial doctor rummaged through the dregs of the medicine and picked out some. He was shocked, "Oh my god, with so many doses, it can't be done well, but it will kill you."

He raised his head and looked directly at the emperor, "Your Majesty, this is the medicine prescribed by the minister to the princess. It is for recuperating and nourishing the body. Red ginseng is used in it, which is a great tonic. And mantra was found in the medicine dregs." Luo, and the portion is very large, taking it together with red ginseng is more likely to induce toxicity."

After he finished speaking, he asked Su Guiren, "Your Majesty, do you dare to ask the princess if she took medicine before she went out?"

Su Guiren wept and said: "Exactly, she only went out after drinking the medicine. Before she went out, she said that she was going to kowtow to her father to plead guilty, saying that she was ignorant before. What...what happened? How could she change?" Are you so crazy?"

The emperor looked at her, Su Guiren was wearing plain white clothes today, with a refreshing high bun, and only a jasper hairpin was used to stabilize her face. The light makeup on her face looked extremely beautiful, even better than the heavy makeup in the past, but now There were two lines of tears hanging on his face, which made him even more pitiful, and his heart couldn't help but soften a little.

The imperial doctor explained: "My lord, the princess has been poisoned by the mandala."

"Mandala?" Su Guiren was stunned, "Isn't this mandala a flower? How could it be poison?"

The emperor looked at her with a cold tone, "Don't you know that mandalas are poisonous?"

Su Guiren forced a smile, "I don't know, my concubine doesn't know..."

She didn't say any more, she was born as a court lady, and she didn't know a few big characters. If no one told her about this knowledge, she wouldn't know how to get it from books.

After hearing her words, the emperor looked at Tao'er thoughtfully, and then asked the guard, "Where did you find the mandala in this box?"

The guard replied: "Return to the emperor, this small box was found from under the pillow of the maid Taoer."
