Strange love across time and space

Your Majesty, look at King Rui

"If King Rui hadn't told me that the prince and queen had tampered with the elixir, I wouldn't have known that the elixir I had been taking for many days was poison! I didn't even know that it was my queen and eldest son who harmed me!"

The emperor looked at the prince kneeling on the ground with disappointment and said again

"Not only did you poison me, but you also took advantage of my illness to collude with the commander of the Imperial Guard in an attempt to rebel! You also killed my ministers! Prince, this is all a good thing you did! Cough cough cough... "After the emperor finished speaking, he coughed heavily. The concubine Xian on the side quickly patted the emperor on the back, and Eunuch Xi also quickly served tea.

The emperor coughed for a while, then raised his head again, looked at King Jin, and said happily

"Today, thanks to Yuan'er's arrangements in advance, the situation was turned around. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sit here at this moment!"

"Queen! You can't go in!"

At this moment, the voices of several eunuchs came from outside the hall, and then the queen ran in with a panicked look on her face. The queen's hairpin was crooked as she ran, completely losing her former noble temperament. The queen stumbled to the prince and knelt down, hugged the prince and cried to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, although Ye'er did something wrong, he did it for the sake of my concubine. Ye'er saw that my concubine and his mother's family were in decline, and he didn't want to see me suffer, so he did something wrong. He is also filial! Your Majesty, please do Seeing as Ye'er made a mistake for the first time, please forgive him this time! I am willing to take the punishment for Ye'er!"

"Queen mother! No!" The prince straightened up and said,

"Mother, this matter has nothing to do with you. It belongs to the son and minister alone. So, Father, you can do whatever you want to do with the son and minister, but don't make the queen angry. The queen doesn't know anything!"

"The prince's words are wrong!" King Rui interjected from the side, "The elixir that Taoist Master Yixin sent to the palace was not the result of the Queen Mother's manipulations on it and then sent it to the father!"

When the queen heard the question, she immediately glared at King Rui angrily.

"Prince Rui! If you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense. Be careful, I will punish you for slander!"

"Whether it's slander or not, the Queen will know soon!"

King Rui clapped his hands, and immediately a guard came in with a palace maid. Judging from the palace maid's dress, she was from the Queen's Qifeng Palace. The maid carefully walked behind the queen, knelt down, and saluted the emperor.

"My slave Yue'er, the second-class maid of Qifeng Palace, wishes to pay your respects to the Emperor!"

When the queen heard the words of the palace maid, she immediately looked back and saw Yue'er asking doubtfully, "Yue'er, you are not on duty in Qifeng Palace, what are you doing here?"

Before Yue'er could speak, King Rui said

"Since the Queen has admitted that Yue'er is a palace maid of Qifeng Palace, then what Yue'er says next will be credible. Yue'er, you don't have to be afraid of anything. Say everything you see and hear. , Father will make the decision for you!"

"Yes! I dare not hide this from the emperor!" Yue'er raised her head, but did not dare to look directly at the emperor. She said with a trembling voice, "I am the second-class maid of Qifeng Palace. Once, Aunt Zhang next to the Queen had sex. Give the slave a kind of herbal medicine, let the slave maid crush it, filter the juice and give it to her. The slave maid doesn’t know what kind of herb it is, so she has to follow the instructions. Once in the middle of the night, the slave maid got up with abdominal pain and went to the toilet. After finishing, the slave maid I was about to go back to my room, but when I passed by Aunt Zhang’s window, I saw that the lights in Aunt Zhang’s room were still on and there were voices inside. The servant was curious, so she lay down under the window and listened for a while. , the slave heard... I heard Aunt Zhang saying to a woman that the elixir should not be soaked in the concoction for too long, otherwise it will change its flavor. The woman asked Aunt Zhang, this matter is too dangerous, it will happen. You have to deal with it afterwards! Granny Zhang said, don’t worry, anyone who has come into contact with the herbal medicine will be dealt with!"

Having said this, Yue'er shivered and continued:

"When the slave heard that it was medicinal juice, she thought of the herbs that Granny Zhang asked her to pound. The slave was afraid of death, but she didn't know what to do. Once when she was passing by the imperial garden, she accidentally bumped into King Rui. King Rui He asked the slave why he looked so absent-minded. The slave had no choice but to tell His Highness King Rui about the matter. His Highness King Rui said that he would ensure that the slave's life was not in danger. Only then did the slave dare to come to the emperor to expose the matter and asked the emperor to make the decision for the slave. !”

"Father! Although Yue'er crushed the herbs to get the concoction, she did what she was told to do. Moreover, Yue'er is just an ordinary palace maid who doesn't understand medicine. She doesn't know that the efficacy of this herb is normal. Father, I thought, Not only is Yue'er not wrong, but for exposing this matter today, it is also a credit and should be rewarded!"

The emperor nodded and looked at Yue'er

"Yue'er, do you have any evidence to prove that what you just said is true?"

"I have proof!" Yue'er said, taking out a few leaves from her sleeves and raising them over her head. "Your Majesty! I have been careful since I heard what Nanny Zhang said that night, and secretly hid a few leaves while making the medicine. A piece of herbal medicine, please ask your Majesty to ask the imperial physician to examine it!"

The third prince took a piece of herbal medicine from Yue'er's hand and handed it to Taoist Yixin beside him. Taoist Yixin took it, put it under his nose and smelled it. He was shocked.

"Your Majesty! This is exactly the arrow bamboo leaf that Pindao mentioned! This bamboo leaf is different from ordinary bamboo leaves. It is highly toxic and difficult to detect!"

The emperor gave another look to Eunuch Xi next to him. Eunuch Xi agreed and immediately sent Doctor Ding over. Under Eunuch Xi's instruction, Doctor Ding picked up the herbs in Yue'er's hand, smelled them, and put them in his mouth. Chewed it, then spit it out, and said to the emperor

"Back to the emperor, these arrow bamboo leaves are indeed different from ordinary bamboo leaves. The taste is indeed not like normal bamboo leaves, but how toxic it is, Wei Chen's medical skills are shallow and I dare not make a conclusion!"

"The medical skills of Imperial Doctor Ding are the best in the imperial hospital. If Imperial Physician Ding does not dare to make a conclusion, then the other Imperial Doctors must not know. However, Imperial Physician Ding just said that the leaves of this arrow bamboo are indeed poisonous, and that is enough It shows that what Yue'er said is credible!" King Rui said.

"That's nonsense!" The queen stood up and slapped Yue'er! "You bitch! Who gave you the courage! You actually slandered me! I have never seen any arrow bamboo leaves, and I didn't ask Aunt Zhang to give them to anyone! The elixir was sent to the palace by Taoist Priest Yixin. I sent it directly to the Emperor without any manipulation at all!"

The queen looked at the emperor again, "Your Majesty, my concubine was unjustly accused. This cheap maid must have been bribed by King Rui to frame my concubine! Your Majesty must be aware of this!"

"Does the Empress mean that the poor Taoist wants to harm the Emperor?" Taoist priest Yixin's voice came from the side. "Pindao and the emperor have no enmity, and there is no reason to harm the emperor! On the contrary, when Pindao sees the people living and working in peace and contentment, he feels that this is all because we have a good emperor in Yong'an country. Pindao respects the emperor, so when the prince and his wife When the empress came to Pindao and said that she wanted to make a body-building elixir for the emperor, Pindao agreed without hesitation! But unexpectedly, the elixir that Pindao sent to the palace was tampered with and became a Harmful poison!"
