Variety Film and Television: Starting from the Legend of Zhen Huan

After the death of Guiren Yi's child, the emperor was preoccupied with tracking down the real culprit and rarely came to comfort or visit him. Except for the pure concubine who used to take care of Guiren Yi, Concubine Rong and Chang Wen came to pay a visit from time to time.

When Yi Guiren was about to give birth, several imperial doctors, the emperor and Xiyue also found out some clues and summoned all the concubines to Yikun Palace.

"Does the imperial concubine know who the person who harmed my concubine's child is?"

As soon as Yi Guiren arrived at Yikun Palace, he knelt on the ground and cried silently.

"Xingzhu went to help Mr. Yi to get up. Mr. Yi, please be calm and calm. I and the Emperor only know a little bit about it. As for the truth of the matter, everyone can just listen."

Xiyue glanced at Doctor Qi next to her and spoke slowly. "Mr. Qi, since you discovered it first, you can tell me first."

Xingxuan held a plate in her hand, with a pair of silver-carved red candles and some burnt charcoal ashes placed on it.

The emperor took the pair of red candles and looked at them, wondering: "They are just ordinary red candles and charcoal ash. What's wrong?"

"No." Doctor Qi broke open the candle, twisted it with his fingers, and mixed some red particles into it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this may seem like an ordinary red candle, but it contains cinnabar."

Doctor Qi gently pushed aside the charcoal ash. There were slight traces of silver on the charcoal ash, and there were also some slightly vermilion powder. It would be difficult to detect it if you didn't observe carefully.

"The vermilion powder in the charcoal ash is also cinnabar. When cinnabar encounters heat, mercury precipitates from it. When the mercury is heated, it is converted into a colorless and odorless gas, which spreads unconsciously and is breathed into the human body silently. "

"The vermilion powder remaining in the ash of the ore, it is expected that someone must have mixed a trace amount of cinnabar into the red charcoal basket. When it is completely burned, it may not be easy to detect. This shows that this person has evil intentions!"

The emperor fiddled with the cinnabar and asked, puzzled, "On that day you diagnosed the noble Yi to be seriously poisoned. There were not only traces of contact with cinnabar, but also traces of taking cinnabar. I wonder if Imperial Physician Qi found out what noble Yi had taken?"

"Double Happiness, tell me."

"Your Majesty Yi's food is cooked in the small kitchen by your personal cook. Empress Chun is paying attention to it every day, and there is nothing wrong with it. Who knows... I went to the imperial kitchen to check it out a few days ago. After a trip, I found that the fish and shrimps supplied to Yi Guiren were all dead. The slave thought that Bai promised that he and Yi Guiren both loved to eat fish and shrimp when they were pregnant... The slave thought that there must be something fishy, ​​so he took Doctor Qi to see if there was anything wrong with it. What's strange."

Doctor Qi once again took out a bag of fish food and held it in front of the emperor.

"These fish food is mixed with finely ground cinnabar powder. After feeding to fish and shrimp, there will be no abnormality in the first few days. After all, cinnabar itself is slightly toxic. However, once the fish and shrimp eat it two days later, These toxins will gradually be incorporated into their flesh."

"Once cooked and heated, the toxicity will become more intense. Although a small amount of ingestion may not cause any serious harm, however, if accumulated over a long period of time, it is equivalent to inadvertently taking cinnabar and mercury, which invisibly damages the fetus. Such methods Insidious."

The pure concubine knelt on the ground, very frightened, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I thought I had taken good care of Mr. Yi, but I didn't expect that someone with ulterior motives... took advantage of me."

"The pure concubine is indeed careful, but no matter how careful you are, there are always times when you can be careful. The most important thing now is to find out the murderer who poisoned the two emperors' heirs."

Bai promised that it was no longer possible to suppress his emotions, so he knelt down and hugged the emperor's leg, crying.

"Your Majesty! My concubine was unexpectedly premature and gave birth to a strange child in the eighth month of her pregnancy, which caused the Emperor to become estranged. I have never held a grudge against God and others. I only thought that fate was playing tricks on people and that their fate was ill-fated. However, after careful consideration today, I found out what happened. Someone is waiting for an opportunity to make arrangements to murder the concubine and the emperor's child."

Yi Guiren also bit the veil and cried softly.

"Now that we know that the source of everything is cinnabar, Li Yu...take people to search the palace. As long as the palace is occupied by people, I will search it carefully!"

"The slave obeys the order."

In less than half an hour, Li Yu slowly walked into the house with cinnabar in his hand, "Greetings to the emperor. The servant only found cinnabar on the dressing table that Xian promised. At that time, A Ruo, who was waiting beside Xian, still blocked her. Let the servant come in to investigate, it can be seen that... Ah Ruo knows about it, and the servant has escorted the person outside the house."

"Your Majesty, the eunuch who specializes in raising fish and shrimps and the eunuch who is responsible for the affairs of the noble lady's palace have also been taken in. These are the confessions of the two of them. Your Majesty, please take a look."

After the emperor read the confession, he stared straight at Xian and agreed, with indescribable disappointment in his eyes, "Bring them all together..."

The two young eunuchs knelt on the ground with panicked expressions. Ah Ruo knelt down calmly and respectfully paid his respects.

"I ask you, the palace people were ordered to search Yanxi Palace, why did you stop them?"

A hint of sadness flashed across Ah Ruo's face, "When you serve your master, you must take care of yourself."

"Is everything ready?"

Ah Ruo trembled and knelt on the ground, slowly talking about what had happened before.

"I know what the emperor and the concubine want to ask. Now that everything has been found out, I have said that my master saved Xiaoluzi before, so Xiaoluzi obeys my master in everything. Master is just a promise, then At that time, he was grounded again. If Xiaoluzi hadn't taken care of him, he and his master would have starved to death in the Yanxi Palace. One day, Xiaoluzi came to know that Bai promised to be pregnant and liked to eat fish and shrimp. He would be transferred to Bai promised to feed him. If you are a fool, you may not be able to take care of your master in the future."

"The master was in confinement at that time and was moody every day. When he heard that Bai promised to be pregnant, his temperament changed drastically, so he threatened him with kindness. The next day, he asked the palace servants to get some cinnabar to copy the scriptures. After a while, One day, I asked my slave to secretly give cinnabar to Xiaoluzi."

"Later Yi Gui got pregnant and moved to Yanxi Palace. The main hall of Yanxi Palace was originally the place where the master's son lived. How could he let Yi Gui give birth to a child and become a concubine, living in Yanxi Palace in all glory? , Master is naturally very angry."

"It just so happened that the master's restraint was lifted, so he started to act more harshly. Not only did he let Xiaoluzi add cinnabar when feeding the fish and shrimp, but he even sprinkled some cinnabar into the brazier."

Qingying looked at Ah Ruo coldly and asked without any emotion, "A Ruo, I treat you well, why do you slander me?"

"Slander? The slave is the dowry of the master, why should he slander the master? The slave said these things because he still has a conscience and can't bear the condemnation in his heart. The slave saw that the noble man was stillborn and spent the whole night I have nightmares all night! Today, God has eyes, everything my master has done has been discovered, and I don’t want to hide it for my master anymore.”

Regardless of Huan Xin's obstruction, Yi Guiren rushed forward and roared regardless of his image, "You are so cruel. I treat you very well. I know that my servants always treat you harshly, so I have a kind heart to help you. Why are you so cruel?" You want to harm my child, you vicious woman!”

The emperor frowned as he looked at Yi Guiren's extremely crazy appearance and said, "Li Yu, please invite Yi Guiren to your seat."

Then he looked at Xian and agreed, "Xian agrees, do you have anything else to say?"

"I have been with the emperor for many years, but the emperor refuses to believe me at all?"

"It is precisely because of what I have experienced in the past that I can't believe you! But now that there are both witnesses and physical evidence, even the person who exposed you is your dowry, I really can't find a reason to defend you."

Qingying smiled bitterly, "I am confused." Qingying knelt on the ground, took out an object from her sleeve, and handed it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, take a look at this before making a judgment. That day, because of the eldest brother's incident, A Ruo was imprisoned in the Sentence Department. He didn't come back until night, covered in blood. The concubine asked someone to change A Ruo's clothes. As a result, This thing fell out of my clothes, such a precious thing...how could it be possible for a slave like Ah Ruo to own it?"

"And it's not like you don't know the methods used by Grandma Jingqi of the Sentence Department. When Ah Ruo came back, her clothes were stained with blood and she suffered only minor injuries. I thought... someone must have wanted to protect Ah Ruo. Acting as an eyeliner for the concubine! But at that time, the concubine was being banned, so she didn’t pay much attention to it. It’s not until today that Ah Ruo colluded with Xiaoluzi to slander the concubine that the concubine thought about the pair of earrings.”

The emperor hesitated slightly and looked at the pair of earrings for a while without any clue. The concubine looked at them and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, isn't this... when you first ascended the throne, you gave three pairs of concubines to each person who gave birth to children?"

Only then did the emperor remember that in terms of concubines who had given birth to children, there were not many, pure concubines, Jia concubines, queens!

"Li Yu...go to Zhongcui Palace, Qixiang Palace, and Changchun Palace to check and find out whose property it is that is missing!"

Such a private thing, if someone hadn't taken it personally, Qingying just promised that it would be impossible to steal it.

Seeing A Ruo's forehead covered with fine sweat, the emperor asked in a deep voice.

"How do you explain this pair of earrings?"
