The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

Just as the emperor, the queen, Lin Tian, ​​and Situ Meng were discussing the countermeasures urgently, a nanny next to the empress dowager suddenly ran in and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good! The empress dowager vomited blood , Empress Dowager is vomiting blood!"

The few people didn't care about other things, and ran into the queen dowager's bedroom like flying, and saw that the originally peaceful queen dowager, who seemed to be asleep, still had her eyes closed, but her mouth kept spilling out. It was covered with bright red blood, and some dark red internal organs were even mixed in the blood.

Although there were palace maids who were constantly wiping the empress dowager carefully, the blood was getting more and more wiped, and it couldn't be stopped at all. From the very beginning, only the mouth was bleeding, and slowly the nose also began to bleed. Afterwards, the ears and eyes also began to bleed without exception.

"Imperial doctor, imperial doctor, hurry up and see what is going on with the empress dowager! Hurry up and find a way to stop the bleeding first!" The emperor roared anxiously.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old imperial doctor agreed, and at the same time asked the medicine boy to take out the silver needle in his medicine box, but he hesitated for a while, but he didn't stick it in.

The other imperial physicians also surrounded the bed, but everyone was helpless, and no one dared to speak out.

"What's the situation now, why don't you say something!" the queen asked impatiently.

"Ah!" The old imperial doctor sighed, finally put down the silver needle in his hand, knelt on the ground, kowtowed deeply to the emperor and empress, and said: "The humble minister is incompetent, it is really hopeless, this blood There is really no way to stop it! Please mourn the emperor and empress!"

"The ministers are incompetent, please mourn the emperor and queen!" All the imperial doctors knelt behind the old imperial doctor and said in unison.

"You guys! Didn't you just say that the queen mother is just asleep and will be fine? What the hell is going on! Ah! You are all talking!" The emperor roared with wide eyes.

Although, after listening to Lin Tian's words just now, they also guessed that the empress dowager may be in danger this time, but after all, there is still a difference between coma and death, especially this terrifying appearance of bleeding from the seven orifices still makes the emperor's heart hard to calm down .

"Your Majesty forgive me, it's because I don't know enough about the drunken beauty, so I didn't discover it in time. In fact, after the strange fragrance reacted with the drunken beauty, it became a special slow mixed poison. Empress Dowager It wasn't that he fell asleep before, but entered a state of suspended animation, and he absolutely couldn't drink water or feed him!

Just now, it was also because the palace maid gave the queen mother some ginseng tea to keep her life alive, which accelerated the onset of the toxin, and that made the queen mother vomit blood and die... It is all the responsibility of the old minister, who did not think of this situation before... Please forgive the emperor! "

The imperial doctor kowtowed deeply, the clothes on his body were already completely soaked in cold sweat, his wealth and life were all at the emperor's thought at this moment.

"Brother Huang, now is not the time to blame the old imperial doctor. The day is about to dawn! The morning court will start in a while!" Situ Meng also clenched his fists tightly, his eyes glowed red, but he was rational He was still there, knowing that the imperial doctor could not be blamed for this, so he looked at the emperor patiently, holding back his anger and pain.

"En!" The emperor nodded lightly, looked at the kneeling imperial physicians, and asked softly, "How much time does the empress dowager have?"

"Judging from the current situation of vomiting blood, I'm afraid it will only take a quarter of an hour!" The old imperial doctor said in a heavy voice.

"Queen, I will leave the harem affairs to you. This time they came prepared. They must not let those concubines make any trouble in front of the Queen Mother!" The emperor said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! The harem will be handed over to the concubines, but what should we do with the nobles from the palace with different surnames? And the imperial concubine Zhen?" The queen asked with an extremely ugly expression.

"Hmph!" The emperor snorted coldly, and said: "Those nobles are all imprisoned, and they are said to have offended the empress dowager! They are imprisoned and no one is allowed to approach! As for Concubine Zhen, let's go, let's go to the meeting right away This guy who hasn't given up until now!"

"Wait a minute!" The queen suddenly stopped the emperor who was about to go out, and said, "Old imperial doctor, you also go with us, and by the way, take a good check to see if the smell of Concubine Zhen is the one you mentioned. The taste of a drunken beauty will react!"

"Yes, empress!" The old imperial doctor stood up tremblingly, followed behind, and walked towards the room where Concubine Zhen was under house arrest.

"Hey, the emperor, the empress, Xiao Shiwu, and the little girl of the Lin family are all here! It's rare to see you so complete!" Concubine Zhen said with a smile, as if she was not at all surprised by the arrival of the emperor and others.

"Grand Concubine Zhen is really in a good mood! Don't you want to say something about the empress dowager fainting?" The emperor looked at Concubine Zhen who ordered a large table of food and wine to eat happily, and the anger in his heart burst into flames. Do not call one place.

"Hehe, what are you talking about? Are you still using Aijia to say something? She is already an empress dowager, and the best doctors in the whole Dayong Dynasty are all around her, what disease can't be cured!" Zhen The imperial concubine said with a bit of sarcasm in her voice.

"This, this, this..." Before the emperor could speak, the old imperial doctor suddenly said excitedly: "It's light but strong, and cold but hot, that's the smell, that's the smell! That's the taste." The taste reacts with the medicinal effect of Zui Hongyan, it can't be wrong, absolutely can't be wrong!"

As soon as the old imperial doctor's words came out, everyone's face changed drastically, even the always confident Concubine Zhen was stunned, and the wine glasses in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Now, what else do you have to say? Mrs. Zhen, the evidence for your murder and poisoning of the Empress Dowager is convincing! You know, this is a serious crime against the nine clans!" The emperor looked aggressively at Concubine Zhen.

"Hehe...the evidence is conclusive! What a conclusive evidence!" Concubine Zhen really laughed out loud after the emperor spoke, without the slightest sign of nervousness or fear, on the contrary, she looked at the crowd with some playfulness, and said :

"Could it be that the emperor wants to convict Aijia just based on this old doctor's words! It's ridiculous, such a drunken beauty, such a strange fragrance, it's nonsense, Aijia has never heard of these things you said !

As for the incense used by the Ai family, it was a precious spice that was bestowed on the Ai family by the Supreme Emperor when he was alive. You must know that in this harem, except for the Yuan empress, only the Ai family was lucky. It is such an honor to get such a small bottle!Today, it was just that the first emperor suddenly sounded, so I took it out and used it. Why, you want to use this to put the shit basin on Aijia's head, it's ridiculous!

If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can check the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Although the first emperor is gone, the Ai family can't just let you frame it casually! "

Concubine Zhen's tone was strong, and she didn't feel guilty or afraid at all because of being exposed by the imperial doctor. On the contrary, she was inexplicably excited and excited, and even said to everyone with a deep meaning:

"At the beginning, the Ai family heard from their grandmother that after the Empress Yuan gave birth to the crown prince, everything was normal, but not long after receiving the reward from the first emperor, she returned home on the crane! It was said to be a blood collapse after a dystocia. , but what is going on here, I am afraid that no one knows except the first emperor and the imperial physician who treated the empress of the Yuan Dynasty at that time!"

Speaking of this, Concubine Zhen's eyes glanced at the old imperial doctor, and said: "I remember that the old imperial doctor who saw the doctor at the beginning should be from your family! But, in the end, because of the death of the Yuan queen And take the blame and commit suicide!"

"What?" At this moment, the people present did not understand what Concubine Zhen meant. Thinking that the Empress Yuan might have been killed by this drunk beauty and strange spices, and now the Empress Dowager is also the same. A very weird feeling arises spontaneously, but I can't figure out the reason for it.

"That's right, the reason why Wei Chen knew about this drunken beauty was also because he found it in a book of medical skills left by the clan uncle before he hanged himself! It's just that he didn't expect that it would be related to the secret of the death of the Empress Yuan..."

The old imperial physician really hated his talkativeness at this moment. If he had known that he would be like other imperial physicians and would not say anything, then even if the emperor blamed him, the law does not blame the public, and he would not be in a dilemma like he is now.

"Concubine Zhen, what exactly do you want to say? Or, what role did you play in this empress dowager matter?" Situ Meng asked unceremoniously. Now that he knew it, there was no way to find evidence to point it out. The person in front of him is the prisoner who poisoned the Empress Dowager to death, so at least some of the secrets of the past must be dug out of her mouth, and he must be on guard in the future.

"What role do you play?" Concubine Zhen showed a weird smile, and said, "What role do you think I can play as a substitute? Can you imagine it? A person who has loved you all his life and has always let you go The man who loves you at the top of his heart is actually just using you as a substitute doll.

Even death has been arranged for you early on, that is, you must be exactly the same as the person in his heart, even if he is dead, someone will faithfully carry out his plan!Perhaps, the only thing he didn't expect was that someone would be obsessed with selfishness and greed, and rob him of something that didn't belong to him, thereby destroying his original plan. This is how the scene you see today came about.By the way, do you know what day it is today? "

Concubine Zhen asked suddenly, everyone was stunned for a while, only the old imperial doctor paused for a long time, and whispered: "Today is the [-]th anniversary of the death of Empress Yuan!"

"That's right, it seems that someone still remembers it! In fact, it's not just that, this palace also entered the palace 30 years ago today! When the late emperor was seriously ill, he once held my hand and gave me a hand. A precious holy medicine that claims to keep my face forever, he said, I hope my appearance can be frozen at the moment of his death, so that if I meet him again in the underworld in the future, he will be able to recognize me at a glance!

And let me wear my favorite clothes today, and use this bottle of precious spices to pay homage to the Empress Yuan in his former bedroom! "There was a hint of death and coldness in Concubine Zhen's voice, which made everyone shudder involuntarily.

"The holy medicine is drunk beauty, right? But, how could you be willing to give it to the empress dowager for such a holy medicine that can keep your face forever?" the queen asked in a somewhat inconceivable way.

"Hehe, drunk beauty? I don't know, because the first emperor only told me that it was the top-grade holy medicine, and I didn't know its name! I don't know, it turned out that the queen mother was in the palace that day except me and the first emperor. It's hidden in it!" Concubine Zhen Taigui smiled indifferently, and continued:

"Later, the Empress Dowager threatened me with the life of the Zhen family and the emperor, and asked me to hand over the holy medicine! I don't have any obsession with youthful appearance. After all, a woman is the one who pleases herself. Anyone who wants to see you will die. So what about the beauty? What about the eternal beauty? So, I made a deal with the queen mother, using the holy medicine to exchange the emperor's son for a daughter-in-law from a prominent family, and get a side concubine for Situ Meng to fill the gap!

Today I will wear the clothes that the former emperor liked to see me wear the most, and use this bottle of spices is just for the promise back then, but I never thought of it!Drunk beauty, what a drunk beauty!Hahahahaha..."

The truth of all this finally came to light, but it caused the emperor and Situ Meng to fall into another difficulty. After all, such a result was beyond anyone's expectation.
