III Jiangshan

Tan Shaoer's uneasy heart was temporarily returned to his place because he heard the word "Shaoer" from the emperor's mouth.

Although the emperor looked a little scary, he was not angry with himself, he must have been angry at the fact that the Zhou family had made a big mistake and dared to refuse the emperor's call.That woman from the Zhou family is simply crazy!

Thinking of this, Tan Shaoer immediately felt much more at ease.She hurriedly followed Yuan Youqi's imperial driver, and went to Qixiang Palace together.

She thought that Zhou Leshi was completely over this time.

However, outside the Qixiang Palace with swords and armor, guards on both sides, and the expressionless inner court guards made Tan Shaoer's heart slip again.

If it wasn't for the emperor's approval, no one could mobilize the inner court guards.

Is this to protect the emperor's safety, or...to seal Qixiang Palace?Tan Shaoer thought to himself.

If it is to seal Qixiang Palace, there is no need for the emperor to come here; if it is to protect the safety of the emperor, the Zhou family, including Qixiang Palace, are powerless, and they can, or still Dare to hurt the emperor?

In Tan Shaoer's head with limited capacity, doubts could not help but arise.

The palace gate of Qixiang Palace is right in front of you. The servants and maids of the whole palace, except those who are not allowed to come out to serve Zhou Meiren, kneel on both sides of the palace gate to welcome the holy driver.

Yuan Youqi walked in front, paused in his steps, turned his head back, and looked at Tan Shaoer with a half-smile: "Why don't you leave? Didn't you just say you want to help me manage the harem?"

Tan Shaoer's body trembled.

The emperor's words were quite meaningful, and that beautiful face, in Tan Shaoer's eyes at this moment, was no longer dazzling and eye-catching, but exuded a certain dangerous aura.

Tan Shaoer's throat rolled.

The arrow is on the string and has to be fired.Now that she and Wu Linlang had reached this point, they had to continue walking.

Thinking of Wu Linlang, Tan Shaoer seemed to have found some support, and he kept comforting himself in his heart, "The emperor is a fool, and the emperor is still the emperor".

So, Tan Shao'er forced a smile, and followed Yuan Youqi into Qixiang Palace.

This is the second time Yuan Youqi met Zhou Leshi.

The first time was when she was drafting girls, she just glanced at them hastily, and didn't take any of them to heart.

Seeing that he is dignified and elegant, and he comes from a powerful family that needs to be wooed, he has no defects or diseases... Apart from these standards, every time Yuan Youqi drafts a girl, it is nothing to choose Chinese cabbage with ordinary people in the market the difference.

Except for Wu Linlang's familiar face that can't be forgotten just by looking at it, Yuan Youqi basically can't remember the specific appearance of any woman in the harem.

However, this beauty Zhou, Yuan Youqi had already remembered her face when he saw her for the second time.

Because, the sickness on that face is too obvious——

The face is gray and faded, the luster is gone, the lips are blue and purple, and they are dry...

This is the phase of poisoning!

Yuan Youqi is well versed in medical theory, and she once heard Gu Heng talk about the different manifestations of different symptoms of different causes, and she also saw with her own eyes the situation where Empress Dowager Wei personally involved in poisoning in order to induce the late emperor to be poisoned.And Zhou Leshi's condition at this time is obviously more poisonous than Queen Mother Wei's in the past.

Who poisoned it!

Such a thought flashed across Yuan Youqi's mind.

The first thing she thought of was Tan Shaoer and Wu Linlang, and then she denied her own thoughts.Not to mention whether they have this ability, but the calmness and cleverness of the little palace lady named Nianxia who was sent by Zhou Meiren to answer, she obviously came prepared, and the two rows of armored guards outside the palace were exactly the ones she used to have at the beginning. Instruct Tang Xi to arrange it according to the plan; and that Bi'er...

Everything is going according to plan.Then, the poisoned person can only be...

Yuan Youqi's mind turned violently, but on the surface it seemed that nothing happened.Her amber eyes glanced at Zhou Meiren who was struggling to get up on the couch, and vaguely saw the shadow of Empress Dowager Wei in the past.

The queen mother did not spare herself in order to avenge the murder of her relatives, so what about this beauty Zhou, what is she doing for it?

"Concubine... Concubine pays homage to... Your Majesty!" Zhou Meiren struggled to get up, but her body was weak, her limbs were limp, and she threw herself on the couch.

The maid next to her rushed over to support her.

Seeing this, Tan Shaoer's eyes widened.

Not only because of Zhou Meiren's strange situation, but also because the maid who rushed to help her was Hui Rong.

Tan Shaoer sees an opportunity, how can he let it go?Opening her mouth, she was about to yell, "This lowly servant girl, how dare she do such and such", but Yuan Youqi spoke before her.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Youqi said, and walked a few steps towards Zhou Meiren's couch.

The emperor's voice was deep, as if he still cared about Meiren Zhou.Tan Shao'er then dared not speak up.

When Zhou Meiren heard the emperor's question, she exhausted all her energy and panted, "I'm guilty. Your majesty summoned me. I resisted the order and didn't obey..."

Yuan Youqi frowned slightly, and said: "Lie down and talk first...but has the imperial physician come?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Meiren let out a muffled snort, spewing out a mouthful of blood, staining her chest red, even the skirt of Hui Rong who was supporting her was splashed with blood.

Tan Shao'er was startled by this sudden change, but Bi'er behind her reacted even more, she just "thumped" to her knees, curled up and trembling.

The emperor anxiously shouted: "Come here! Send Lian Xiang to Qixiang Palace!"

Before Lian Xiang came, no one dared to move in the huge bedroom, except for the emperor who was sitting beside the couch occasionally asking in a low voice "how do you feel" to Zhou Meiren who was restless on the couch.

And when Lian Xiang came, the conclusion he made after the pulse diagnosis shocked almost everyone present.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Beauty Zhou was poisoned." Lian Xiang replied solemnly to Yuan Youqi.

With just a few words, a stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the sound of breathing could be faintly heard in the bedroom.

"I see." Yuan Youqi's voice was icy cold.

"Your Majesty... Concubine..." Zhou Meiren panted heavily, wanting to say something.

Yuan Youqi pressed her arm lightly, and said in a broad voice: "I am here, don't be afraid!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Youqi turned to Lian Xiang and said, "Is there a serious problem?"

Of course it won't hurt.

It is obvious that Zhou Meiren dared to use poison on herself and wanted to bring down Tan Shaoer.She must have other intentions, how could she take her own life for nothing?

Yuan Youqi understands the key points in this.

However, there must be enough acting.Under these circumstances, some things must be said.

When Lian Xiang heard the emperor's question, he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, although the poison is powerful, but fortunately it was discovered early, and the beauty's body is not bad. I will use it for half a month, and it will definitely be cured." Get rid of the poison."

"That's good." Yuan Youqi nodded.

After finishing speaking, she scanned the people in the dormitory with sharp eyes again: "Such a dirty thing happened in my palace!"

The maids and servants serving inside and outside the dormitory were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground.

The current situation is self-evident, someone secretly poisoned Zhou Meiren.If the murderer cannot be found out in this matter, all the servants in Qixiang Palace will feel bad.

Lian Xiang always puts the patients first, no matter how angry the emperor is, he will not be affected, and he will give the prescription to Hui Rong, and ask her to quickly make the medicine and fry it, and feed it to Zhou Meiren.He also ordered the little inner eunuch who often followed him to go to the Imperial Hospital Yunyun.

Yuan Youqi waved his hand, Yun Huirong and the little eunuch retreated temporarily.

As soon as Hui Rong left, Nian Xia came over on her knees and knelt beside Zhou Meiren's couch to serve her.

Yuan Youqi watched them move forward and retreat without any fear, feeling a little bit uncomfortable in his heart.No emperor can tolerate being ignored like this.

Although Zhou Meiren and her personal maid did not lose manners to her, she always felt that they were not afraid of her, unlike those women in the harem and the palace servants they usually served.

Yuan Youqi frowned secretly, suppressed the strangeness in his heart for a while, and said to everyone in a cold voice: "I will give you one last chance! If you dare to act bravely, stand up and confess, I will avoid the crime of implicating others, and will not pursue other people. Parents and family members; whoever makes the first complaint can also be exempted from the crime of dereliction of duty and connivance. Otherwise—”

She said, snorted coldly, and said: "Just wait for the Inner Court Secretary to deal with it!"

Poisoning a concubine is a serious crime, and parents and relatives will be imprisoned.And once they were sent to the Inner Court Division, they would be tortured endlessly until they all confessed.

When all the palace people thought about the fierce-faced nuns in the Inner Court Department, they all felt pain all over their bodies.

Except for those who knew the inside story, the rest of Qixiang Palace naturally didn't know who the murderer was.This made them feel even more scared, as if the acquaintances kneeling beside them had become vicious poisoners.Thinking that if the murderer is not found in the end, all the palace people in Qixiang Palace may be implicated, and everyone is at risk.

Tan Shaoer knelt before everyone.

Only at this moment did she realize: Why did she kneel down with all the palace people in a daze?When did you kneel down again?Was it when the emperor suddenly became angry just now?

She was horrified to find that she had never felt the horror of the emperor in front of her, and she also had the feeling of falling into a trap in a daze.

Especially just now, Hui Rong's little hoof was actually allowed by the emperor to quit and cook medicine for the Zhou family!

Just when everyone was terrified and Tan Shaoer was in doubt, the eunuch accompanying Lian Xiang rushed back and brought back the pills that Lian Xiang had ordered him to fetch.

Lian Xiang read it carefully, confirmed that it was correct, and directed Nian Xia to feed Zhou Meiren.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is a detoxification pill, which can temporarily control the poison in the beauty's body and prevent it from penetrating into the bone marrow. In this way, the beauty will not be in danger of dying until the right medicine is cooked." Lian Xiang Xiangyuan Youqi explained.

Yuan Youqi saw that after Meiren Zhou took the pill, her breathing was no longer so difficult, so Fang nodded slowly.

More than two quarters of an hour have passed since Zhou Meiren suddenly vomited blood.Yuan Youqi's patience was about to be worn out, she then turned to the people kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Since no one confesses, then don't blame me for being merciless! Take them all to the Inner Court Division for torture!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a trembling voice suddenly said loudly: "Forgive...forgive! Your Majesty, forgive...forgive!"

It turned out to be Bi'er who was kneeling behind Tan Shao'er, kowtowing "dongdongdong".

"Your maidservant wants to sue...Tan Jieyu! Tan...Tan Jieyu instigated...the slaveservant who instigated...the slaveservant is wronged!" Bi'er said in a panic without choosing words.

Tan Shaoer suddenly felt dizzy.
