The Favorite of the Court of Joy

"Ximei is poisoned!" This was the first reaction of everyone present.

"Xiaocheng, hurry up and invite the doctor from Lu's family. By the way, I will also invite the doctor Jiang from the palace." Zhang Xiaoqian shouted, and then called out the hidden guard and said, "Hurry up and carry Ximei to the bed. "

"How did this happen? How did this happen?" Wan Zi sat on the edge of the bed in a panic, looking at Ximei with a purple face, her heart ached, her mind was confused, and she choked up and said, "Didn't you be fine just now? Don't you?" They were eating and chatting all the time, very happy, why did you suddenly become poisoned?"

"Eat?" Zhang Xiaoqian's mind suddenly flashed a picture of the dining table. What he and Xiaocheng ate were what Wan Zi and the others brought back from the palace. Wan Zi filled a bowl of soup and didn't drink it yet. Only Ximei ate Xiao Huang copied the dishes tonight, so the source of the poison is in the dishes!

At this time, the doctor from the Lu family had already arrived with a medical box. After diagnosing the pulse, he immediately pricked each blood vessel with a needle, and then took out a pill and fed it into Ximei's mouth. Then he said to Zhang Xiaoqian: " Concubine, Mr. Ximei is indeed poisoned. I have sealed his blood with a needle to prevent the toxin from penetrating into his internal organs for the time being, and let him take Life-Extending Pill. His life will not be in danger right now. Now we must quickly find out the source of the poisoning and prescribe the right medicine.”

"Doctor, the source of the poison should be in those dishes." Zhang Xiaoqian asked Xiao Cheng to bring the dish that Ximei had eaten to the doctor Lu.

Lu's medical silver needle was inserted into the vegetable stalk, and after a while, the needle was taken out again, and most of the upper half of the needle head turned black.

As he thought, the dish was indeed poisonous.

"It's not me, it's not me, I haven't poisoned you, my concubine, you believe me, it's really not me." The most flustered one was Xiao Huang, so she copied the dishes.

Zhang Xiaoqian comforted her and said, "Xiao Huang, don't be afraid, I know it's not you, someone else did the poisoning."

"Doctor, what kind of poison do you think Ximei has?" Zhang Xiaoqian and Wan Zi asked at the same time.

"There are tens of thousands of poisons, and there are several that can produce similar reactions after being poisoned. It is difficult to know for a while. I can only preliminarily judge that it is a poison called colorless water. This poison is colorless and tasteless, just like water. , generally will be kept well, otherwise people will drink it as water. This kind of poison will seep into the inside of the vegetable leaves immediately after washing with water, and the juice must be squeezed out, the venom Only then can it flow out." Doctor Lu paused for a moment and continued, "This colorless water is very poisonous, if it is not discovered in time, it is easy to die, but the poison is not difficult to cure. You just need to force the toxin out. "

At this time, Doctor Jiang also came.Before, he was afraid of being persecuted by Queen Mother Li, so he had the emperor protect him. Now that Queen Mother Li has fallen, Grand Master Li also ran away, and he returned to the Imperial Hospital.

As soon as Doctor Jiang came, he took a pulse and immediately diagnosed that the ximei was colorless water.This detoxification can be done by the doctor of the Lu family.

In this way, doctor Lu detoxified Ximei in the house, while doctor Jiang watched him detoxify and imparted new knowledge.

Zhang Xiaoqian and others were waiting for news in the living room outside the master bedroom.

Standing beside Zhang Xiaoqian, Xiaocheng was still puzzled after much deliberation, so she asked, "Our plum garden is protected like an iron bucket, how did outsiders come in and poison us?"

Zhang Xiaoqian said, "Because the poison was injected outside."

"Outside???" Everyone was puzzled.

"Yes, today."

So, they were all recalling what happened outside today, and everything else was normal. The biggest surprise was that Ying'er knelt outside the courtyard door crying and begging for mercy, but the master ignored her. When she left, she ran into Xiao Huang without apologizing. As an outsider, Ying'er is the biggest suspect.

"It was Yinger's poison." Xiao Cheng said.

Zhang Xiaoqian nodded and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten."

Xiao Huang suddenly felt scared, "So Yinger bumped into me on purpose. Why did she want to kill Ximei? Ximei has nothing wrong with her."

"Could it be Mrs. Lu's idea?" Wan Zi said.

"No, I think it's Ying'er herself." Zhang Xiaoqian analyzed it for them and said, "What she wants is not Ximei, but us, and more importantly, me."

He went on to say: "She is a ruthless person. Since I don't agree to help her, she will be released, and she will die together. She puts poison in the dishes. If we eat them all at dinner, everyone will be poisoned. No one will call the government doctor, even if we have so many guards outside, if we don't call, they won't dare to peep at our affairs, in this way, we will definitely die." He Ding paused for a while, Then he said: "Unfortunately, man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. She didn't count on Wan Zi bringing the imperial meal from the palace. We little greedy cats turned to stare at the imperial meal and didn't even eat the food we fried. Hey, after all Let Ximei be implicated in vain."

Wan Zi comforted him and said, "Ximei knows you didn't do it on purpose, he won't blame anyone, and none of you need to blame yourself."

"Hmm. The most important thing now is to treat Ximei." Then Zhang Xiaoqian said to Xiaocheng, "At this moment, that Ying'er may not be still in the mansion. You can ask the housekeeper to send someone to look for it, and take Yimei away." The incident of someone being poisoned in the garden won’t go away, so I’ll see how many people in the palace expect me to die, and if they are found out, I will drive them out of the palace one by one.”

"Yes, my concubine."

The housekeeper took people to the Dewdrop Pavilion to pick up people, and on the other side also released news that someone in Yimeiyuan had been poisoned.

After a while, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Xiaoqian like a gust of wind. He looked nervous, and when he saw that the person in front of him was intact, he couldn't help hugging him.Wan Zi and the other maids turned their faces away in embarrassment.

"My lord, you hold me too tightly, I feel sick to my stomach."

Only then did Zhao Minghan relax him, and then asked: "What's going on, what do people outside say that you were poisoned?"

Zhang Xiaoqian looked as expected, and said: "I let people spread the word that someone in the Yimei Garden was poisoned. They spread rumors, and they probably thought I was poisoned. But it's pretty good, I want to see this palace. Is there anyone here who wants to kill me. My lord, let’s talk about it first. If someone really wants me to die, you must drive these people out of the palace. They kicked it out just in case."

Zhao Minghan promised him: "Don't worry, whoever dares to have such thoughts, I will be the first one to let him go."

"En." Zhang Xiaoqian snuggled into his arms obediently.That's right, he just has selfish intentions, and he wants to drive out all the women in the palace step by step.

"Okay, now can we talk about what's going on? Who was poisoned?"

"Ximei was poisoned." Zhang Xiaoqian said, "The thing is like this..."

Zhang Xiaoqian explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly and clearly.

Zhao Minghan also looked angry after hearing this, and said: "That maid is very affectionate and righteous, but it's a pity that she followed the wrong master, and she is destined to harm others and herself. She wants the emperor to let Bu Xiangshi go. I won't agree."

"Okay, leave this matter to the king." Zhao Minghan said, "It's late at night, you and Wan Zi are both heavy people, go to rest quickly, with Doctor Jiang and Doctor Lu, Ximei will definitely help you. It's fine."

"No, Ximei is like this, how can I sleep well, even if I know that Jiang Tai doctor and Lu family doctor will cure him, how can I sleep well before the toxins are drained."

"Me too." Wan Zi said.Normally Ximei served him, but now Ximei was poisoned and unconscious, how could anyone sleep peacefully.

"You..." Zhao Minghan knew that the friendship between them was so deep that it was difficult to persuade them, so he ordered Xiaocheng a few times, "You take more quilts and put them in the side room, so that the side concubine and Wan Zi can rest inside."

Then he said to Zhang Xiaoqian and Wan Zi: "You don't go back to the room to rest, but you must go to the side room to rest. You can know the latest situation of Ximei as soon as possible."

"En." Zhang Xiaoqian nodded obediently.

The side room is usually a place for the servant girl who serves the master to sleep. If the master wants to drink water or do other things in the middle of the night, the servant girl will immediately get up to serve.

It was late at night, but the residence of Prince Rui was full of noise. First, it was reported that someone was poisoned in the Yimei Garden, and then the housekeeper went to the Luzhu Hall to arrest Yinger. The one who made the housekeeper so mobilize the crowd, probably the person who was poisoned was Zhang Fangfei herself.As a result, many people secretly laughed, thanking the poisoners, without Concubine Zhang, they would be able to regain the prince's favor.

Before the butler arrived at the Luzhu Pavilion, Mrs. Lu had just woke up from a coma. Before she passed out, she knew that Yinger had knocked her out, so when she woke up, as soon as she saw Yinger, she wanted to beat her up.But at this moment, Ying'er was no longer pretending, and slapped her a few times.

Mrs. Lu didn't dare to be confident. She was beaten by a lowly maid for the second time, and this time she was beaten by her own maid. "It's the other way around, how dare you hit me."

"I have long wanted to beat you, a heartless and unjust woman. Even my own father would be in vain. Whoever you say you won't beat?"

"You...you...can you control it? That's my father, not yours. "

"Yes, that's your father. God is so unfair. I want to have a father like Mr. Bu, but I don't have one, but a selfish person like you has a father who loves you so much."

Madam Lu snorted coldly and said: "He loves me? He just regards me as a pawn, a pawn that can sneak into Prince Rui's residence. One day I am useless, he will be cruel and abandon me. You can serve me honestly as a servant girl, so why bother with those idle thoughts."

Then, Mrs. Lu got another slap on the face.

"Believe it or not, I'll kill you."

Mrs. Lu pushed back in panic, the Yinger in front of her must not be the submissive Yinger, "You...you...go away, if you don't go away, I'm going to call someone."

Ying'er ignored her, and said her own, "However, I don't need to do it myself, the prince will come to you soon to ask for your life."

"You... What do you mean by that?" Bu Shanglu didn't understand.

"Because you killed Concubine Zhang."

"I didn't. I didn't take a step out of the Dewdrop Pavilion today. How did I kill Concubine Zhang?"

"You probably haven't heard the news yet. There are rumors outside that Concubine Zhang died of poisoning."

Mrs. Lu suddenly became wise and said, "What did you do to her?"

"Of course I used your name to kill people." Ying'er said with a smile, "You asked me to ask Concubine Zhang to ask Master Bu, Concubine Zhan refused, so you poisoned Concubine Zhang to kill Concubine Zhang."

"No, no, I didn't, I didn't." Bu Shanglu felt frightened, and everyone outside must have thought she was the one who ordered Yinger.

"You have." As she spoke, Ying'er took out a small bottle from her bosom, stuffed it into Bu Shanglu's hand, and said, "This is the poison you poisoned, colorless water."

At this time, the housekeeper happened to lead a group of people into the Dewdrop Pavilion, and he happened to hear Yinger say "poison-colorless water."

Bu Shanglu was so anxious that she didn't know how to explain, she just said in one voice: "It's not me, it's not me."

The butler said, "Come here, take the poison. Please Mrs. Lu and Miss Ying'er and I have a word with the prince."
