Chapter 56
Looking at her actions, Yan felt a little uneasy, what exactly is this?I ordered someone to bring this pot of jasmine, but I never remember having such hands and feet in the root.Is it framed again?She couldn't help looking at Su Ruiran, but like everyone else, Su Ruiran's eyes were all on Xianrui, and she didn't look at her. There was no abnormality in Su Ruiran's expression.

But because of this, Yan's heart inevitably became more speculative.

Xianrui wiped off the dirt on the surface of the thing he picked up with a handkerchief, revealing the dark blue coarse cloth that was wrapped outside. After uncovering the outer coarse cloth layer by layer, a strange fragrance suddenly spread to the surroundings.

Everyone couldn't help covering their mouths and noses with their sleeves and handkerchiefs.

I saw that the inside was covered with a black lacquer, which looked like wood and stone, and I couldn't tell what it was for a while.

"What is this? Why does it smell so strong?" Concubine Li Gui frowned, covering her mouth and nose with disgust.

The queen also covered her mouth and nose, and immediately told Xianrui: "Put this thing away quickly."

Xianrui hurriedly wrapped the blue cloth outside again, so that the smell was not so pungent.

Lan Xi fanned Concubine Li Gui, and the Empress ordered the palace servants to open the doors and windows, and it took a while for the smell to completely dissipate.

Concubine Li Gui opened her mouth and nose, looked at Su Ruiran with displeasure and said, "What is your purpose of hiding this thing in the flower root secretly? Could it be some kind of witchcraft?"

Su Ruiran showed panic, and hurriedly explained: "My daughter was wronged, and my daughter really didn't know about it. If this flower pot was accidentally broken by the nanny today, my daughter would not know that there was such a thing in this flower pot."

"I still dare to quibble about the matter now, so it's not too late to invite the truth." Concubine Li Gui was not willing to listen to her to distinguish, she was originally worried that she would not find a chance to deal with her, and now the opportunity is coming.

Yan Shi was listening, bowed his head and said nothing, but his expression was flustered, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.Although she opened her mouth to speak, she didn't know how to speak.Concubine Li Gui didn't know about some things, such as the arrangement between Jasmine and the gauze tent.But if he didn't speak up, he might be involved in this matter being questioned like this.But if you speak yourself, how should you speak?Could it be that Su Ruiran pleaded for mercy and asked the imperial concubine to stop asking?

She was just feeling self-defeating and hesitating, not knowing what to do.Xianrui had already spread the thing across the silk and ran into the Queen's face, asking for instructions: "Your Majesty, what should I do with this thing?"

The queen lowered her eyebrows and looked at the things in Xianrui's hands. Although the outside had been wrapped in coarse cloth, there was still a faint pungent smell after being so close.

The empress frowned slightly, but before she could speak, she listened to Yan carefully said: "Empress, there is nothing unusual about this thing when I look at it, there is really nothing to bother my empress to be sad about it, why not... ..."

However, before she finished speaking, Concubine Li Gui interrupted her decisively, saying decisively: "No, this matter cannot be left as it is."

She looked at Yan Shi and frowned slightly, wondering what happened to her today, how could she say what she just said to justify Su Ruiran, could it be that she saw her own daughter being arrested and became too sad and mentally disturbed?

Yan's face turned red immediately, the imperial concubine had already spoken like this, but it was a dilemma for her to say it for a while.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Su Ruiran couldn't help but find it funny. It seems that Concubine Li Gui didn't know every detail of everything.It seems that although the two joined forces, they were not all of one mind. Thinking of this, Su Ruiran suddenly said to the queen: "The empress, the servants also think that what the imperial concubine said is reasonable, this matter should be thoroughly investigated, how about Go ask Dr. Zhao who is nearby to come over and have a look, so that I can return my daughter's innocence."

Concubine Li Gui was even more surprised when she heard the words, thinking what happened today, it's just a Yan family who was confused, why did Su Ruiran follow suit?Could it be that she has other plans?
Thinking of this, Concubine Li Gui couldn't help but glance at Yan Shi, she really felt that Yan Shi's expression was also a little strange, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The queen nodded and said: "Just as you said, Xianrui asked Dr. Zhao to come and see what it is."

"Yes." Hearing this, Xianrui ordered immediately to send for the doctor.

Hearing that it was the empress's order, Dr. Zhao didn't dare to neglect, so he rushed over quickly.

The queen motioned to Xianrui, and Xianrui immediately handed the things in her hands to Dr. Zhao, and said, "Your Majesty, let you see what is in the bread here?"

Dr. Zhao immediately rolled up his sleeves, took the things from Xianrui, and opened them layer by layer.

There was another pungent smell in the room, and everyone couldn't help covering their mouths and noses again.

However, Dr. Zhao didn't seem to be able to smell it at all. Instead, he leaned closer and smelled it, and then twisted a piece of the dark thing with his hands, kneaded it into powder, put it under his nose and smelled it, and then used a silver needle to smell it. Take a look.Finally ordered the medicine boy who followed to fetch a bowl of water, melted the powder in the water, smelled the smell, and then said to the queen: "Dare to ask the queen, where did you find this thing?"

The queen's eyes fell on the ground, and said: "It's in the root of that pot of jasmine, is there anything wrong with this thing?"

Dr. Zhao replied: "It's just a very precious spice. Putting it in the root of the flower for a long time can stimulate the fragrance of the flower."

The queen frowned and asked again: "Then is it harmful to the body?"

When Yan heard this, she couldn't help becoming nervous, and stared at Dr. Zhao intently, but saw Dr. Zhao shook his head, and replied: "There is no harm."

Yan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but was even more puzzled.

This thing must not have been put in by someone, but if it is not framed, what is it?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Su Ruiran, but she saw Su Ruiran suddenly holding his forehead, reeling to faint.

Wang Momo hurried over to support her, and said in a flustered tone, "Miss, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, the queen was also very concerned, and told Dr. Zhao: "Go and see what's wrong with her."

"Yes." Dr. Zhao led the order to walk in front of Su Ruiran, but at this time Su Ruiran had already been supported by Wang Momo to sit down.

Nanny Wang rolled up her sleeves for her, put her wrist on the table, and put a piece of silk on her wrist.Xianrui moved a stool, Dr. Zhao sat down and took Su Ruiran's pulse.After a while, he got up, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he said to the empress: "If you go back to the empress, if Xiaomin's diagnosis is correct, Miss Su must have been poisoned."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was taken aback, Yan's face changed, and his hands tightly grasped the hem of the clothes, enduring panic.Looking at the head of the bed, Linsi Mizhu's gauze hangs gently on the head of the bed.

This method of poisoning has also been carefully planned by her for a long time, not to mention that not many people know about this method, so it may not necessarily be noticed.

The queen frowned upon hearing this, and asked, "What kind of poison is this?"

Dr. Zhao raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied very nervously: "This little man is not very clear, just to be on the safe side, I ask the empress to let him check the contents of this room one by one."

The Queen nodded in agreement.

Su Ruiran had asked Doctor Zhao early in the morning, and she just waited to reveal the secret about the gauze tent and Jasmine.But Dr. Zhao's testimony alone seems not enough. Thinking of this, Su Ruiran said to the queen: "My lady, I'm afraid it's not enough for Dr. Zhao to do this alone. I also ask my lady to invite the imperial doctor to check it out."

Yan's expression panicked, and his body suddenly became unstable. He hurriedly supported the table beside him so as not to fall to the ground, and collected himself.

"What's wrong with Er Niang? Could it be that she is unwell? Why don't you let Dr. Zhao take a look." Su Ruiran looked at her with a playful expression.

Yan showed a forced smile, and replied: "It's okay, it's just that I felt a little uncomfortable when I smelled it just now."

"If you are unwell, sit down first." The Queen said.

"Thank you, empress." Yan's expression was erratic, and then he supported the chair and sat down slowly.

Su Ruiran looked at her worried and terrified look, and thought in her heart that she had done it to herself, if she hadn't done something wrong, why would she be so afraid of ghosts knocking on the door?However, when she turned her head to look at Dr. Zhao, she was also surprised to find that beads of sweat were also rolling down Dr. Zhao's forehead, rolling down his cheeks.

Su Ruiran watched, only saying that it was the first time he saw the queen, and he couldn't help being nervous when encountering such a scene.

However, at this moment, Dr. Zhao said to the queen: "Your Majesty, even if you are in poor condition, you should try your best to check it out. It's just that the imperial doctor is serving the emperor and all the masters and ladies in the palace. I really don't dare to bother you. I want Xiaomin to check it out alone." enough."

Su Ruiran couldn't help feeling strange when she heard this.

The queen pondered for a while, and finally said to Xianrui: "Go and invite an imperial doctor."

"Yes." Xianrui ordered immediately.

Su Ruiran looked at Dr. Zhao's nervous hands clutching the hem of his clothes, sweating profusely.I thought to myself that when this person treated me a few times ago, he held up his face calmly and dealt with it as usual, and he didn't look like such a timid person.Why did you see the queen and concubines like this today?

Fortunately, the queen did not blame, but motioned Xianrui to hand over the handkerchief.

Dr. Zhao was terrified and dared not take it. He said to Xianrui: "How dare Xiaomin use the girl's things." After speaking, he raised his sleeve and wiped it on his face indiscriminately.

Xianrui covered her mouth with a smile and said, "You don't have to be nervous, our empress is the best talker in the palace."

"I'm ashamed." Dr. Zhao was a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at the crowd, and said, "This is the first time Xiaomin sees all the empresses in the harem, he was really nervous, so he lost his composure in public, please forgive me."

The queen showed a gentle smile, and said: "If you don't walk around in the palace, it's natural to be nervous, and I won't blame you."

Soon the imperial doctor was also invited, and the queen ordered him to check with Dr. Zhao to see if there was anything wrong with the house.

Dr. Zhao and the imperial doctor inspected as ordered, and their gazes soon fell on Lin Si Mi Zhu's gauze curtain on the bedside.

Su Ruiran couldn't help but look sideways at Yan's face at this moment, she saw her pale face, frowning, biting her lip, and beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.

Seeing her frightened look, Su Ruiran didn't mind Dr. Zhao's delay.

Doctor Zhao and the imperial doctor inspected it for a while, and quickly came to a conclusion. The imperial doctor reported back to the empress and said, "Empress, according to my inspection, it should be the gauze tent and Jasmine's problem. Both of them are irrelevant. It is poisonous, but if the two aromas are mixed, it will produce toxicity, which will endanger the body, make people mentally tired, and finally gradually become unconscious."

The queen frowned and patted the table: "Who the hell is so vicious and sent these two things into Miss Su's room."

Su Ruiran burst into tears when she heard the words, and said to the queen in a sad voice: "Mother, I don't know what I did wrong, but I caused others to treat me like this, and wanted to kill my life." She turned to look at Yan, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction. Xie said, "Er Niang, what did I do wrong? Why did you send these two things to harm me? Could it be because I am the prostitute and you are doing this for Yanran's status in the mansion?"

Yan Shi hurriedly shook her head when she heard the words: "No! That's not the case! I never harmed you."

She suddenly got up and knelt down, and said to the queen: "Your Majesty, this concubine is really wronged, someone must be framed for this matter."
