The rebirth of the first daughter of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 50
Wang Momo was very worried, and when she saw her coming back, she immediately said, "Miss, are you okay?"

She shook her head and asked Mother Wang: "Did something happen when I was not around just now?"

Wang Momo replied: "Just now Eunuch Zhang brought people here to check on the comings and goings of the adults, wives and ladies, as well as the servants of each family."

Su Ruiran nodded slightly, and took a sip of the tea on the table thoughtfully.

"They already know that Miss has also left the banquet." Wang Momo said with a worried face.

She held the teacup calmly, looked at the bright green tea leaves floating in it like a floating duckweed, and just said: "I know."

Nanny Wang opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly saw Yan Shi coming over, she immediately bowed her head and remained silent.

Yan looked at her, smiled slightly, and said to her: "Rui Ran, where were you just now? Something terrible happened in Concubine Li's yurt just now. It's really true that such a murder happened in the room of a dignified concubine. It's appalling. The emperor will definitely not let it go, so I advise you to be honest." She looked at her and said word by word: "If you are willing to recruit, I will definitely find a way to plead with the emperor and queen for you. , for your father's sake, they will definitely spare your life."

Su Ruiran smiled and said, "I don't understand what Er Niang is saying."

Yan looked at her and said: "You don't have to play dumb with me, you clearly left the banquet just now. And there is always someone here who can prove that you are heading for the residence of the imperial concubine."

She knew that she was threatening herself, but how could Su Ruiran give in so easily, she smiled lightly, as if she didn't care at all, and said, "Just now I left the banquet because I accidentally spilled wine on my clothes, so I went back and changed it. As for the witness that Erniang said..." She looked at her with a sudden indifference in her smile: "Erniang should be very clear about who I went with. If Erniang really wants to report this matter I can't do anything about it, Your Majesty, but I will definitely tell the truth and not let anyone slip through the net."

Yan's face changed.

Su Ruiran looked at her, and said with a smile: "Erniang should think about how to do it. If she doesn't make a mistake, it will be a pity for Yanran." She can emphasize: "She is Erniang's only daughter."

Yan Shi glared at her, but there was nothing she could do. Finally, holding back her anger, she stood up and left with a sullen face.

As soon as Mrs. Yan left, Mother Wang immediately came over. She stood far away just now and didn't hear very clearly. Now she said: "Miss, are you okay?"

Su Ruiran shook her head, but she saw that Mrs. Yan had been sitting in her seat for a while, then suddenly got up and went towards Concubine Li Gui with a wine bottle.The Yan family said a few words to Concubine Li Gui, Concubine Li Gui turned her head to look at herself, frowning slightly, showing a hint of disgust.

Su Ruiran pretended not to see her, and turned her head to look elsewhere.

There was an interlacing of toasts, singing and dancing, and a scene of jubilation and peace at the banquet, as if they had completely forgotten the unpleasant things that happened just now.

Su Ruiran sat alone at the banquet, eating food and drinking wine, without any acquaintances to chat with, she seemed a little lonely.

"Bang Dang" the jade cup fell to the ground, and everyone turned their heads to look at it in shock, only to hear Lan Xi exclaiming: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What's wrong with you!"

Concubine Li Gui leaned on the table and bowed and vomited continuously, her complexion was pale, and the steps on her head were shaking violently, a little palace maid was holding a spittoon to catch her.

The emperor was shocked and hurriedly got up to check, and the queen followed.

Lan Xi hurriedly took out the silk to wipe her mouth, the little maid went down holding the spittoon, the emperor quickly stepped forward to support her: "What's wrong with you, concubine?"

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Li Gui fell into his arms, dying.

Seeing this, the emperor hurriedly said to Zhang Qin: "Go and call the imperial physician!"

"Yes." Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Zhang Qin quickly trotted to call someone.

The queen also said comforting words: "Sister, don't worry, the imperial doctor will be here soon."

Soon Zhang Qin brought the imperial physician over, and behind the imperial physician was a boy carrying a medicine box. When he saw the emperor and empress, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "I will see the emperor, empress, and masters and ladies."

The emperor said anxiously to him: "Come and see, what happened to the imperial concubine?"

"Yes." The imperial doctor led the order and stood up, and the boy next to him immediately followed quickly, opened the medicine box and took out the cushion for his hands.

Concubine Li put her wrist under the pillow, and the imperial physician put a white silk on her hand again, and then used the silk to diagnose the pulse. After a while, the imperial physician's expression changed slightly, and he got up and knelt down and said to the emperor: "Report Your Majesty, your Majesty is poisoned by poor diet."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, the emperor was even more furious, and immediately ordered Zhang Qin: "Go and call the servant who passed on the food from the imperial dining room, I want to see how this poison entered the imperial concubine's diet?"

"Yes." Zhang Qin took the order and ran away immediately.

The emperor hurriedly asked the imperial physician again: "Do you have a solution to the poison of the noble concubine? Don't tell me that there is no, or you won't want this head of yours."

The imperial doctor knelt down in fear: "The emperor calm down, although the imperial concubine is poisoned, it is not serious, and there is no danger of her life."

The emperor's face softened a little after hearing the words, and he sat down and said to him: "Go on."

The imperial doctor said again: "The imperial concubine's stomach has been feeling unwell recently, and I have summoned my ministers many times for diagnosis and treatment. The minister has also told the empress not to eat cold food, otherwise it will hurt the stomach, and the discomfort will worsen, and it will cause vomiting in severe cases. more than."

The emperor looked at Lan Xi who was beside Concubine Li, and Lan Xi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the maidservant definitely arranged the diet of the empress according to the imperial doctor's orders, and the empress was still well before the banquet today." Her eyes suddenly fell in front of her Looking at the dishes on the table, he hurriedly said, "I must have eaten something that hurt my stomach at the banquet."

At this time, Zhang Qin came with a servant from the imperial dining room.

The man's expression was panicked, and when he saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down and trembled.

The emperor looked at him with a gloomy expression: "Tell me, is it because you servants made a mistake and gave the imperial concubine something that hurts the stomach?"

The eunuch hurriedly kowtowed, and shouted: "I have been wronged! The imperial doctor has already ordered the diet of the imperial concubine, and I dare not be careless." After finishing speaking, his gaze fell on the dishes on the table in front of Concubine Li, and said to the emperor : "Can you let the slaves check the diet of the imperial concubine and empress one by one, and then ask the emperor to make a conclusion."

The emperor nodded.

The servant immediately got up from the ground and walked to Concubine Li Gui's table.He took out a pair of silver chopsticks and a silver spoon from his sleeve, took a sip of each dish, and took another sip of the soup.After sipping several times in his mouth, he suddenly put the silver chopsticks and silver spoons into his sleeves, knelt down in front of the emperor again and said, "I report to the emperor, there is something wrong with this nettle soup. It's not nettle but jelly. Jelly is extremely cold and hurts the stomach, if my mother accidentally eats it, she will vomit and become weak."

The emperor was furious when he heard the words, and smashed the cup in his hand to the ground with a bang.

The servant hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although nettle and jelly are similar in shape, but the imperial dining room is proficient in this way, there is absolutely no mistake."

The emperor's expression was low and he said: "Go and investigate, I really want to know who is so vicious, who actually murdered the noble concubine."

Concubine Li Gui suddenly spoke to the emperor at this moment: "Your Majesty, calm down, as long as you find out who has received Yan Cai recently, you can give an explanation to my concubine, and I will not let my concubine suffer this grievance in vain."

The emperor glanced sideways, and Zhang Qin immediately understood, and hurriedly took someone to the imperial dining room to inquire.

Seeing the development of the situation, Su Ruiran felt a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.Soon Zhang Qin came back and reported to the emperor in public: "Return to the emperor, in recent days only Xin'er, the maidservant in the room of Su Ruiran, the eldest lady of Prime Minister Su's family, has gone to the imperial dining room to get jelly dishes."

Su Ruiran was taken aback when she heard the words, and hurriedly got up and knelt down and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Xin'er, the servant girl in the minister's room, did go to get the jelly, but it was for the purpose of feeding the minister's food, absolutely nothing It means to harm people."

Lan Xi supported Concubine Li Gui and said: "There is no basis for what you say, the emperor must make decisions for our empress, but don't listen to her so easily."

The emperor looked embarrassed, looked at Su Chao, and saw that his face was normal, and asked Zhang Qin: "Have you checked it out, is it true that only the servants of Prime Minister Su's daughter went to get it?"

Zhang Qin replied affirmatively: "It's absolutely true, such a slave would not dare to expire the emperor."

Lan Xi said again: "My Majesty, just now Miss Su left the banquet suddenly, which was seen by many people. And the servants have witnesses to prove that Miss Su went to the imperial dining room just now, and also used the soup from the empress." Lan Xi After finishing speaking, he immediately ordered a maid next to him to bring the witness.

The maid quickly brought two eunuchs over, and when they saw the emperor, they immediately fell to their knees and said in unison: "Your servant kowtows to the emperor."

The emperor looked at the two of them and asked, "Who are you?"

One of them replied: "The slaves are all working in the imperial dining room." He glanced at Su Ruiran, pointed at her and said, "Just now this lady sneaked into the imperial dining room, and then touched the soup of the imperial concubine. "

Su Ruiran's expression was normal when she heard the words, and she didn't immediately argue.

The emperor asked the two of them again: "Are you sure you saw him?"

The two nodded in unison, almost saying in unison: "It's absolutely true."

The emperor remained silent, and looked at Su Chao again.

Su Chao also didn't say a word, and didn't even look at others, he lowered his head and slowly drank the wine in his glass.

The emperor had no choice but to turn his head to Su Ruiran and said, "Do you have anything to defend yourself?"

Su Ruiran still looked normal, and replied: "Your Majesty, can I ask the two of them a few questions."

The emperor nodded, and Su Ruiran stood up and walked in front of the two.

Both of them lowered their heads, their eyes flickering.

Su Ruiran walked back and forth in front of them twice, and then said: "Let me ask you, since you said you saw me at that time, do you still remember what color clothes I was wearing?"

"Purple." The two eunuchs caught a glimpse of the color of her skirt and answered without thinking.

Su Ruiran immediately said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, when the maid left the banquet, she was wearing a pink dress, and she left because the wine accidentally stained her dress, so she went back and changed her body in order not to lose her dignity in front of the emperor." clothes. And if the two of them have actually met the courtier's daughter, how could they not remember the color of the courtier's daughter's clothes?"

The emperor nodded, and turned to the two of them, "What else do you have to say?"

The two eunuchs hurriedly explained in a panic: "The slave just said it wrong, it's pink, it's pink."

Su Ruiran said to the two of them: "Just now I said it was purple, why did I change it when I said it was pink?"

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard Lan Xi say: "They work in the imperial dining room every day, and their thoughts are all on the emperor and the empresses of the palaces. It is reasonable and reasonable to occasionally remember the wrong color. This alone cannot prove Miss Su's innocence. What's more, Miss Su can go back to change clothes first and then go to the imperial dining room, so it's not surprising for them to see that Miss Su is wearing purple."

The emperor also nodded when he heard the words, and said to Su Ruiran: "That's right, do you still have any questions to ask?"

Su Ruiran had no choice but to give up, and her eyes fell on the two eunuchs again. They also lowered their heads, but they seemed much more reserved than before. She asked again: "Since you said that you saw me touching the nettle soup from the imperial concubine, how can you do it?" So how did I use this bowl of soup? And how did I add jelly in it?"
