I am Kangxi Bai Yueguang [Qing wear]

"Your Majesty." Empress Niu Hulu pushed him lightly, "What are you looking at?"

Young Kangxi's black pupils reflected his cold white skeleton, and he turned his head slightly to look at Su Changzai. Su Yang looked back innocently, one hand was still rubbing his numb knee vigorously.

The maid helped her up and followed behind the group of people, walking slowly.

Yiling Palace is also called Yikun Palace, West Sixth Palace.

It is located between Chuxiu Palace and Yongshou Palace, with the Tihe Hall on the left and the Hall of Mental Cultivation on the right.

Concubine Jing lives in the side hall of Yikun Palace. There is no concubine in Youyikun Palace yet, the main hall is empty, and Concubine Yi Guo Luoluo is on the other side.

Concubine An, Concubine Li, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Wang Jia,? Among the concubines, they are the most respected concubines, followed by Concubine Jing; the other concubines Hui, Concubine Rong, Concubine Duan, and Concubine Xi were sealed together in August this year .

The emperor seldom comes to the Sixth Palace of the West,? The respect room served the green head card at night, and it was completely based on his mood.

Concubines Rong, Concubine Yi, Concubine Hui,? have given birth, and concubines An, Concubine Jing,? Concubine Xi are left.

After getting pregnant, be careful everywhere, the queen is also arranging people to wait on her, beware of accidents during pregnancy, she has no way to manage the harem.

As a result, I didn't expect that there are no air-tight walls in the world, and mosquitoes bite eggs with cracks. It seems that it is still not perfect, and people almost took advantage of the loopholes.

The rest have nothing to do with concubines, and should be dispersed.

In the side hall of Yikun Palace, the maid Yunjiu was sweeping the steps with a broom, when she heard her father-in-law shouting that the emperor was coming, she quickly threw the broom and knelt down.

The imperial physician hurriedly passed by Kangxi and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have arrived."

Imperial physicians are Hanchens, who have been doctors for generations in the family. Before the Manchu Dynasty entered the customs, they were imperial physicians in the palace, so they could call themselves ministers, not slaves.

"Xu Zhong." Kangxi said, "Concubine Jing was almost murdered, one dead body and two dead, you go quickly to check the cat's dead body and eat it to see what kind of poison it is?"

"The minister obeys the order!"

The cat was wrapped in ice water to keep the cat's corpse from decomposing.

The imperial physician Xu Zhong wore gloves, picked up the cat's corpse and looked through it carefully, lifted its eyelids to check the color of its pupils, opened its jaw to check its tongue, and then cut open the cat's chest with a knife.

Immediately, several concubines, including the queen, all turned their eyes away.

Concubine Jing covered her mouth and vomited wildly at the side.

Dark red blood was dripping in the imperial physician's hands.

Young Kangxi looked at Su Yang subconsciously.

Su Yang is probably the most calm among these people.

She neither rolled her eyes nor vomited.

It's normal, and even a little serious to see the imperial physician Xu Zhong dissecting the cat's corpse.

After a while, the imperial physician stood up and came over, and replied, "Your Majesty, this poison is oleander."

Oleander - as the name suggests, is a plant in the peach family.

Its flowers are trumpet-shaped, and there are tubes like bamboo poles in the nectar. The trumpets inside are bright and beautiful, with different colors, and the trunk, stems, leaves, flowers, bark and branches of oleander grow white emulsion after breaking, and this white emulsion , once poisoned a big cat from Sichuan.

That's actually a very rare case.

After a long time, the imperial physician discovered that the lotion of oleander contains enough to paralyze the heart, if accidentally swallowed, it can be fatal.

Because few people will choose to eat this.

So before entering the customs, it rarely happened, only this one case.

Moreover, the poison of oleander is mixed with saffron powder that can cause abortion, assisted by a few grams of colorless and odorless mercury, mixed with folk rat poison, and covered it up so that it cannot be detected with silver chopsticks, trying to conceal it .

The imperial physician put the silver chopsticks into the food box.

Sure enough... the silver chopsticks did not turn black.

It is not so easy to get the lotion of oleander, saffron, mercury, etc. together.

But somewhere in the palace where the poison is hidden, there is exactly such a poison. If it is not lost in the palace, it comes from the people outside the palace.

There will be no abnormalities in a short period of time, and it is even difficult to find out the origin of this poison.

It just so happens...the eunuch who set fire to the Kunning Palace last year committed suicide by poisoning himself in the interrogation room. He also swallowed it before setting the fire on fire. If he is lucky enough not to be discovered, he can come back to detoxify himself. died.

Therefore, when the name "Oleander" came out, Kangxi immediately raised his brows with a serious expression.

Imperial Physician Xu Zhong walked up to the emperor and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to the □□ Pavilion to check?"

The poison from last time was not lost.

Regarding the fire in the Kunning Palace, we can only find out the people who are close to the little eunuch, but this little eunuch has an unpleasant personality in the palace, and few people make friends with him. The only one is his fellow villager.

As for this fellow, it was found that his background was innocent, and he had not had much contact with the little eunuch.

Therefore, he was only expelled from the palace, and there are still people watching him.

"Liang Jiugong."

"The slave is here."

"You go to the □□ pavilion to see if the poison is still there."

"Whoo!"

Kangxi returned to Yikun Palace and sat on the main seat. In the past, when there were important matters in the harem, he usually didn't need to deal with them personally. The empress would naturally handle the matter properly. For a short time after going there, it was under the control of Huang Mama, and recently it was managed by the Niu Hulu family.

The queen sat beside her, stroking the armor, and looked at Aunt Jiang Huang.

Yipin Guo Luoluoshi also sat on one side, and Su Yang sat on the outer side at the end, looking at the white sky outside the door in a daze, without thinking about anything.

Since she had never done it herself, Kangxi, as the king of a country, would not wrong her.

Su Yang didn't know why he was so sure about this.

Perhaps it was Kangxi in history who gave him enough confidence.

Or maybe it was the Qixi Festival that day, when Kangxi righteously descended from the sky to rescue her from the fire and water, maybe there were other things that she didn't realize.

But... Concubine Jing has a big belly, and after riding in the sedan chair for so long, tossing back and forth, she didn't feel tired.

Su Yang withdrew his gaze, and glanced at the respected concubine Wang Jiashi from the corner of his eye.

Wang Jiashi's face was pale, staring blankly at a certain point in the void, her pupils were out of focus, Yun Mo beside her poured her a cup of hot tea, and Yunjiu made the tea, and now she poured it for the masters in the house one by one. .

When he came to Su Yang's side, he staggered suddenly for some reason, but fortunately he stabilized quickly.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and when Su Yang questioned her, she had already restrained all her expressions, leaving only concern and respect for her master.

Su Yang had a slight strange feeling in his heart, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.

In fact, she is not very familiar with the two maids of Yikun Palace, but because of her work as a female official, she occasionally needs to check the appearance of other palaces. This Yunjiu...was caught by her at that time, It's just that she is not as strict as other female officials. If other female officials find that the maid's words and deeds are misbehaving, they have to go to the nanny to study for a month.

She only spoke a few words at that time.

Su Yang looked at the floor, it was smooth and slippery.

She staggered because her legs were weak after kneeling for a long time.

Yunjiu is fine, why did it hit the uneven place?

Put these doubts to rest for now.

Su Yang calmly waited to see if there was any dirty water that could be poured on her.

Only when you are rational can you sort out your situation better and fight back.

In Yikun Palace, almost no one made a sound.

Kangxi picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip from his lips, narrowed his eyes, and said, "This tea has lost its taste."

Tong Guifei blinked her eyes.

He also heard the emperor sitting high in the hall say: "At the beginning of this year, the new batch of tea that Yunnan paid tribute to will be delivered in two days, so that the concubine can calm down."

Concubine Jing showed a difficult smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Liang Jiugong came back soon with the imperial physician Xu Zhong.

They also had a box in their hand.

The imperial physician opened the box and said, "Your Majesty, the oleander is still there."

"but……"

"But what?"

Xu Zhong looked distressed: "This oleander can no longer be used for poisoning."

He confided his conjecture: "The toxicity of oleander will dissipate most of it within ten years, and it will completely lose its toxicity within 20 years. It will become a cat and a person who eat it and get sick, but the poison cannot kill cats and people."

"But the Sichuan big cat was poisoned to death happened 16 years ago, and this oleander was also stored in the palace 16 years ago."

"After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and was stationed in the Forbidden City, they all destroyed the poisons left in the palace. Some poisons that were too bad would be collected in the harem, so as to prevent them from reappearing in the future without being identified."

"Last year when the Kunning Palace was set ablaze, the eunuchs swallowed only one-third of the total poison. Today's another third is very poisonous."

Imperial physician Xu Zhong fell to his knees with a plop, "The old minister didn't think about this problem last year, so I ask the emperor to punish him."

Kangxi's handsome brows frowned: "You mean, after the Manchus entered the customs, the poison in the harem was not completely searched out? Are there other places that are secretly developing poison?"

"There are two possibilities. The poison in the harem has not been completely eliminated. The second is that the poison came from Sichuan, which is rich in oleander. After a certain process, it can be used as medicine in exchange for money. Many people in Sichuan make a living from it."

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Huang Taiji was under extremely strict control, and it was inevitable that the harem would be purged, and it would be impossible to leave any fish that slipped through the net.

Kangxi already had an idea in his mind.

The poison came from outside the palace.

He looked at Yun Mo, the concubine's maid, and said, "When you came out of the imperial dining room that day, you only met Su Changzai?"

Yun Mo's face became tense when she was asked, and she began to try her best to recall: "Slave... After meeting Miss Su, I went back to Yikun Palace, and I didn't seem to meet anyone in the middle..."

She racked her brains to think, and suddenly her face changed slightly: "Slave, I remembered that I also met Aunt Jiang Huang who is next to the empress. Aunt Jiang Huang asked the slave master how he is recently, and she is a little closer."

"..."

The queen was furious when she heard the words: "Do you think that in the eyes of this palace, the existence of concubines and heirs is not tolerated? On the surface, someone is sent to take care of Jingfei's daily life, but in private, you want to put her to death?"

This is even more outrageous than involving Su Yang.

No matter who thinks about it, they are unwilling to think that this matter has something to do with the Queen.

First of all, for the queen who is in charge of the concubines in the harem, she will send someone to take care of the concubine who is pregnant. Naturally, she can't wait for the child to be born.

So this allegation doesn't work.

Concubine Jing said at this time: "Where is the remaining third of the poison?"

"Poison is extremely poisonous. A third of it can kill two dead bodies. One diced meat can kill a cat. If the thieves still keep it, they must not let it go randomly."

Su Yang lost his voice, and Concubine Jing glared at him bitterly:

"Su Chang must still be in the palace, please order the emperor to search the palace! If it wasn't for Su Chang's poison, naturally there wouldn't be this thing in the palace. If there was, it must be her! Seeing that the concubine is pregnant, but I can't get it The emperor is favored, so he must hold a grudge, since the imperial concubine entered the palace, she has not conceived for more than a year, maybe..."

Su Yang couldn't deny it: "Anything you want."

The emperor looked at Concubine Tong: "Do you have any objections, Concubine?"

Concubine Tong said softly: "Murdering an heir, the concubine does not dare to be charged with this crime. You can search the palace, but if there is no reason, accuse the concubine of the people in the palace for no reason, this matter cannot be taken lightly!"

Kangxi said: "Liang Jiugong, you can make arrangements."

"Whoo."

Soon, a group of maids and guards began to search Chengqian Palace.

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, several side halls in the front and back of the courtyard were searched, and the last maid suddenly found a clue under the big sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the backyard.

Some soil was piled in the maid's handkerchief, and a faint white powder was hidden in the refurbished soil. Xu Zhong leaned closer to smell it, and there was a faint smell of meat hidden in it.

Another court lady trembled in fear: "I also found a dead mouse in a remote and unoccupied side hall. It seems to have just died, and it doesn't smell bad yet."

The physical evidence came, pointing at Su Yang.

Su Yang stood up suddenly, and blurted out: "Impossible, I never lose meat!"

"..."

Xu Zhong turned his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this soil, it is new soil. The powder on it is undoubtedly oleander, but looking at this soil, it has been exposed to the sun for at least a month or two and has not been stirred."

"Can you specify when?" Su Yang asked.

"The day when the folk Cowherd and Weaver Girl met."

"Two months ago...it happened to be the time when the imperial concubine was visiting her relatives."

Su Yang was certain: "The concubine has been out of the palace for two days, and that day happened to be the Cowherd and Weaver Girl's meeting."

Concubine Jing said aggressively: "Then you are very likely to buy poison outside with the palace card, intending to harm me!"

Su Yang smiled coldly: "The concubine's leaving the palace is for official business, the imperial concubine's mother-in-law Hesheli is sick, so the concubine is going out of the palace to visit her."

"Then why didn't you go back to the palace that day!"

"I have to wait until the next morning to return early, and there is too much time at my disposal. Who knows if you will take advantage of this time to go shopping?"

Su Yang: "...that's because, because..."

"Because the slave was molested! It caused a delay in returning to the palace."

"The empress is so aggressive at this time, is she really just afraid of being poisoned to death? Or do you want to put the blame on the concubine?"

Concubine Jing supported her stomach, and smiled indifferently: "What's wrong with trying to bring to justice the thieves who harmed my mother and son?"

Su Yang said: "The concubine was indeed not in the palace for those two days, so why not think about it differently."

"In those two days, which palace people entered and exited Chengqian Palace? Since the soil under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the backyard of the side hall has been refurbished, they should have some understanding of the properties of trees, flowers and plants..."

Su Yang smiled calmly, and raised his eyebrows lightly: "According to what I know, the people who trim the flowers, plants and trees in the imperial garden will come to the palaces to trim the flowers and trees every three months. Ye Mao, drag the taproot to death."

"It seems... the concubine remembers that a court lady who became friends with Yun Mo happened to be a court lady who specializes in pruning and managing the back garden?"

Yun Mo said angrily: "You talk nonsense, I don't know any palace servants from the Houhuayuan!"

"Even if we know each other, so what, is it impossible to make one or two friends while walking in the palace!"

"I saw it that day when I was an official Su." Su Yang said briskly, "In the morning, she even gave you a flower, which should be pruned."

Concubine Jing glanced at Yun Mo, then turned back to stare at Su Yang, and said coldly: "I said east, you said west, it is clear that you deliberately changed the subject, so as not to be held accountable for your leaving the palace during the Qixi Festival, leaving the palace in the morning. I'll be back in two days."

"You said you were molested on the street, who molested you? Even if you were molested, you can tell that you are from the palace just by looking at your clothes. How could someone be blind enough to take you away?!"

Concubine Tong raised her eyes from the teacup.

Su Yang visited the palace at sunrise on Qixi Festival for her, went early and returned the next day.

She wanted to ask at the time, but Su Yang smiled and brought fresh pastries to her:

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks, when you were in the Tong Mansion, you have always liked the cakes here. You can try them to see if they are authentic. Yesterday, when this servant was out of the residence, I came back late, so I went to sell pastries. I found out that the door has been closed, thinking that you like it, the slave will not have the chance to leave the palace in the future, so I will take this opportunity to bring you some."

Therefore, Concubine Tong Gui did not pursue the matter.

At this time, she also wanted to know why Su Yang came back late that day.

Concubine Jing saw that Su Yang was speechless for a moment, and took two deep breaths: "You said you were molested, why didn't you tell the master about it when you returned to the palace, so that the master can teach you a lesson for you, even if you are shy and dare not speak out , is there any witness?!"

Su Yang raised his head in an instant.

She was looking at the emperor, the emperor Kangxi who was sitting in the hall with no expression on his face.

I was also looking at that day, in the flower boat on the Qixi Festival, under the orange light, the handsome young man with lowered eyebrows, quiet and gentle.

The author has something to say: Well...

The poison of oleander was discovered by me after I checked Baidu.
