Concubine's true colors

Chapter 575

Xiangping bumped into the medicine bowl after throwing Chen, knelt down to admit his mistake but exclaimed that the soup is poisonous, all of this actually happened in an instant.

And when she shouted, after Chen Hou and Zhou Xianrui's attention was attracted, the silver bracelet on Xiangping's right wrist had completely turned into a jet-black silver bracelet, and everyone's expressions immediately changed.

Counting Zhou Xianyu, Empress Chen had three sons in total, but only one daughter, Xiangping.

In addition, mother and daughter are more connected, and it is easy to say what they think about themselves on weekdays, so the Empress Dowager Chen loves Xiangping even more.

Therefore, when I saw that my beloved daughter was still wearing a silver bracelet contaminated by toxins, I was afraid that Xiangping's skin would rub against her and hurt her body.

Empress Dowager Chen didn't even think about her own safety, she stepped forward and took off the silver bracelet with her bare hands.

After throwing the thing out at once, she wiped her hands and said with a shocked and angry expression:

"Xianrui, this Xiao Jinxuan is really going against her. You must not pamper the other party anymore. According to Yi Ai's family, the other party knows that his background has been exposed, so he wants to poison you to death, and then save his own life. And Xianrui, you don't have to hide it from the Ai family, now rumors are spreading outside, saying that this demon girl is the secret work of Beirong. Now that she is going to attack you, it can be seen that the rumors are not groundless."

When Queen Chen learned of Xiao Jinxuan's identity from the Beirong royal family, it was Yu An who secretly told her.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Chen naturally couldn't tell Zhou Xianrui the real reason why she knew about this matter, instead she pushed it on the gossip she ordered to release.

And Zhou Xianrui was in a coma for five consecutive days, and now that he heard Xiao Jinxuan's identity as the Beirong royal family, the news spread like wildfire, and it was already spreading.

Although he was surprised how this matter was leaked out, he couldn't care less about it now.

Because Zhou Xianrui's eyes were fixed on the soup that had been scattered all over the floor, he couldn't believe that Xiao Jinxuan would really plot against him.

"Mother, it doesn't matter whether Jinxuan is from Beirong or not. I just want to find out why the soup sent by Zhaoyang Palace is highly poisonous. And I don't believe that with Jinxuan's mind, she will This kind of assassination method is easy to be exposed. After all, the decoction sent to the emperor must be detected by the imperial doctor's silver needle in advance. Since the imperial medical office did not find any abnormality, why did it become poisonous in front of me? .”

Zhou Xianrui has been involved in party struggles since he became king in the previous dynasty. He has cunning plots, and he has seen many secret framing tricks.

And compared to Chen Hou's lack of opinion, and partial listening and partial belief.

Zhou Xianrui would not believe that Xiao Jinxuan intended to harm him just because of a dirty poison bracelet.

On the contrary, Zhou Xianrui's eyes full of scrutiny now stared at Xiangping.

After all, although this younger sister has been caring recently, he has not forgotten the time when the other party was in the Beijing military camp, because Yan Luolei and Xiao Jinxuan have a lot of hatred, and it is not impossible if the other party deliberately framed her.

As soon as Zhou Xianrui's sharp eyes fixed on her, Xiangping, who had always been a little afraid of this imperial brother since she was a child, suddenly became a little panicked on her face which was uncontrollable.

The worried look on his face just now became more and more stiff, looking extremely unnatural.

Just when Zhou Xianrui felt that something was wrong with Xiangping the more he looked at it, and he was about to question him further.

Suddenly Ji Lingfeng's figure appeared in front of him and stood in front of Xiangping, blocking Zhou Xianrui's sight completely.

In fact, Ji Lingfeng has always been resistant to meeting Zhou Xianrui head-on in Yuqian. After all, he knows that the emperor is definitely not as easy to fool as the Queen Mother Chen. If his identity is revealed by then, the only thing waiting for him is death.

But seeing the situation he laid out today, Xiangping will soon be unable to withstand the pressure and be seen through.

In desperation, Ji Lingfeng had no choice but to stand in front of Zhou Xianrui and deal with His Majesty Emperor Qi in person.

As for Ji Lingfeng, who was watching this meeting, he first knelt down to pay respects to Zhou Xianrui in a very polite manner, and then he dragged his voice thin and long, trying to conceal his identity and said:
"Your Majesty, this servant is Mo Feng, Princess Xiangping's court attendant. Just now my master was very scared by the poisonous bracelet. Therefore, this servant has the courage to ask the emperor to show mercy by asking this servant to help my princess get up first."

Although Ji Lingfeng's face was covered by a mask, it was really weird, but Zhou Xianrui had already heard about the capable servant named Mo Feng beside Xiangping.

Therefore, although he was surprised, because Zhou Xianrui would be in a coma for several days before waking up, and the remaining energy was devoted to the matter of the poisonous soup, so he didn't recognize the real identity of Ji Lingfeng's old opponent at a glance.

As for after listening to Ji Lingfeng's words, Zhou Xianrui was indeed quite shocked when he saw Xiangping at this meeting. How could he not feel pain if she was his own sister.

So he withdrew his rather serious eyes, and he nodded, signaling the other party to stand up and answer without continuing to kneel on the ground.

Receiving Zhou Xianrui's grace, Ji Lingfeng immediately went to help Xiangping, and then he patted the other's wrist as if puffing up.

Because Ji Lingfeng will have his back to Zhou Xianrui and Empress Chen, so when Xiangping got up and the two got closer, in order to calm the princess's mind, he couldn't help but ventured and said in a low voice:

"Xiang'er, don't be afraid, just say what I taught you before. Don't you want to avenge Mo Lingzhi? As long as you deal with it properly tonight, Xiao Jinxuan will definitely die. And just now your brother also followed our instructions. Plan, with the help of the Empress Dowager, was given the medicine of tiger and wolf. As long as you secretly give the other party some heart-rending things, the two of them will surely die, and if you want revenge, you have to be steady."

Zhou Xianrui is the eldest son of Empress Dowager Chen, so he has always worried about his younger brothers and sisters, so he is indeed extremely deterrent in Xiangping's heart.

Coupled with the fact that Zhou Xianrui is the king of a country now, Xiangping is indeed a little afraid of playing tricks in front of the other party.

But being encouraged by Ji Lingfeng, it also aroused the hatred in his heart, especially the scene where Mo Lingzhi turned into pus and blood was recalled in Xiangping's mind.

Immediately, the fear in her heart flustered, and Xiangping was instantly replaced by hatred. After a strong resentment flashed in her eyes, her expression gradually calmed down.

Immediately after Xiangping hinted that Ji Lingfeng was fine, she immediately saw her stepping forward to the side of the dragon couch.

This time Xiangping met Zhou Xianrui's eyes directly and calmly, and then let the emperor examine him, but she said calmly:

"The emperor's younger sister was timid just now, and she was indeed frightened. Please don't blame the emperor for her gaffes. As for the medicine sent by Zhaoyang Palace, why did it pass the imperial doctor's examination and was still sent to the hospital containing poison?" In front of the imperial court. Brother Huang has been busy with the previous court. Forgive Xianger for saying something unpleasant. Now that the entire imperial medical office has been purged by Jinxuan, she has fostered a lot of imperial doctors who are loyal to her, and there must be a lot of them. So If you want to avoid the Imperial Medical Office and send the poison into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, no one else can do it, but Jinxuan can do it easily."

Regarding what Xiangping said, Zhou Xianrui had to admit that it was indeed reasonable.

After all, he had known for a long time that Xiao Jinxuan's ability and planning would never lose to any strategist. Immediately, his doubts about Xiangping became a little less, and he immediately said:
"Presumably this time I fell ill, the old imperial doctor Ma who specialized in my pulse diagnosis was serving me nearby. Announcing him to come in, I also want to know what kind of poison is in the decoction sent by Zhaoyang Palace."

Zhou Xianrui gave the order, and naturally the servants in front of the imperial court went to summon Imperial Doctor Ma.

And because the horse imperial doctor was decocting medicine for Zhou Xianrui, in order to be safe, he had to supervise the cooking process himself, so he took the soup and medicine into the Hall of Mental Cultivation after a stick of incense.

Because of giving Zhou Xianrui the medicine of tigers and wolves, even if Empress Chen is making some serious excuses for herself, in fact, she is like a mirror in her heart, and this kind of thing must not be known to others.

Therefore, it was the royal physician Liang who had been using her in the palace for decades to prescribe Zhou Xianrui with medicine.

So when Royal Physician Ma came in at this meeting, the old imperial physician was very surprised when he heard that Zhou Xianrui had announced to see him.

After all, judging from the result of him feeling the other party's pulse, Zhou Xianrui would need two or three days to wake up.

So confused, Imperial Doctor Ma had to take Zhou Xianrui's pulse first.

But seeing this, fearing that Zhou Xianrui's consumption of the medicine of tiger and wolf would be discovered by Empress Chen, she couldn't help but speak out immediately to stop Imperial Doctor Ma's behavior, and hastily changed the subject to reprimand:
"Doctor Ma, don't rush to give the emperor's pulse. I really don't know how you, the imperial physician, are on duty. The decoction sent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation is highly poisonous, and you didn't even find out. I see you The imperial physician has also come to an end, Xianrui made another mistake, believe it or not, Ai's family copied all of your family."

Being completely frightened by Chen Hou's intentional and severe reprimand, Royal Physician Ma immediately knelt down on the ground in fear and fear, and hurriedly said:
"The empress dowager, please calm down. Your majesty mixed poisonous substances in front of the imperial court. This minister deserves death. But it is true that this minister is your majesty's special imperial doctor, but this minister decocts medicine for the emperor every day. This checks whether the soup is highly poisonous or not." All the matters related to this matter are taken care of by the full-time colleagues of the Imperial Medical Office. So I hope that the empress will learn from you, this matter really has nothing to do with this humble official."

Looking at the face of Imperial Doctor Ma turning pale with fright, Zhou Xianrui is not a foolish king, let alone blame others.

Therefore, after expressing to the other party that there is no need to be nervous, he ordered Imperial Physician Ma to immediately verify what kind of poison the decoction sent by Zhaoyang Palace had been poisoned.

Imperial doctor Ma, who had been granted amnesty, wiped off his cold sweat, and then hurriedly checked.

After all, he is an old imperial doctor who has practiced medicine for decades, so it didn't take him too long to determine the poison.

Then I saw Imperial Doctor Ma handing the blackened silver needle in his hand to Zhou Xianrui, and then explained in detail:

"Your Majesty, please see that although the silver needle is black, its color is more dark blue. Therefore, although this decoction is poisonous, the dosage is extremely small. It takes about half a month to take it every day before it becomes poisonous, and it is difficult to detect the poisoning." As for what kind of poison it is, I need to go back and study it before I can conclude. However, judging from the repeated lung inflammation that has been difficult to recover during the few days of His Majesty's coma, this poison must be something that consumes the heart and lungs. .Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise your dragon body will definitely have a big accident."

After hearing Ma Yuyi's words, Zhou Xianrui immediately closed his eyes, then gave a wry smile and said:

"I don't want to spread a word about today's incident. As for Imperial Physician Ma, you don't need to study this poison too hard. You will help me to take care of the decoction that is sent to the imperial court in the future. Go on and go about your own affairs, just You don't have to wait around."

As soon as Imperial Doctor Ma left, Zhou Xianrui finally opened his eyes again after slowing down for a while.

But now he not only has a stern expression, but also murderous intent in his eyes.

And then Zhou Xianrui suddenly snorted, and said with a bit of self-mockery:
"If you are not from our country, your heart must be different. It seems that I am nostalgic for the past, and even my eyes are blinded. Xiao Jinxuan, you really shot at me, then if I am not ruthless, I will get rid of you. I am afraid that I will kill you I, Da Zhou's country and country are also in danger."
