Qing Chuan's confession of fate

Chapter 13 The Poison of Oleander

It was already evening when Ya Yue woke up again, and Bi Xiao who was waiting on the side saw her wake up and hurriedly helped her up, and then handed her a bowl of black medicine.

"My lord, the imperial physician has already come. You just contracted a cold. You only need to take a few doses of medicine and you will be cured. You don't have to worry about it, my lord."

"Well, I'm relieved now. Go to the respect room and remind the father-in-law in charge that I've been unwell for the past few days and can't sleep with you. Ask the father-in-law to cross out my name so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." After finishing speaking He picked up the medicine bowl and frowned and drank it in one breath.

For Bixiao to cross out the name, the first reason is that the rules are like this, and Yayue doesn't want to see Kangxi during this time.It will take her a while to figure out where to go.

Bi Xiao led the order to go to the respect room, Ya Yue felt sticky on her body, so she ordered the maid serving outside to fetch some water for herself to freshen up.

Bi Xiao also came back after washing up, thinking that Ya Yue hadn't eaten all day, so she ordered the little maid to get some porridge.It is estimated that the effect of the medicine played a role, and Yayue felt a little drowsy after eating.

After covering Yayue with a quilt, Bi Xiao went out of the inner room, ordered the maids in the outer room to take care of the master, then turned around and left the palace gate of the side hall.

"Master, Wu Changzai is caught in the wind and cold today, and Wu Changzai won't be able to attend bed for the next few days. Presumably the emperor will not pass these days. I don't know if I should say something or not?" The one who spoke was a The woman dressed as a court lady stood aside with her eyebrows lowered and pleasing to the eye.

"Just say what you have to say." The woman sitting on the main seat fiddling with the armor gave her a sideways look, and spoke slowly, as if she didn't care at all.

Look at the concubine who is also dressed in the harem, wearing bright emerald green palace attire, with a seven-treasure coral hairpin in her hair, reflecting her face like a lotus.

I only heard the woman dressed as a court lady whispering: "A minor illness can also become a serious illness. If Wu Chang died of illness, who else in the harem can compete with you?"

"You are very courageous. You know that the crime of poisoning the concubine of the harem is not a small one. If the emperor finds out, what can I do to fight for favor?" The danger was immediately discovered.

"Master, you can rest assured that this servant has a way to keep you safe. As long as you do this..." Seeing the smile gradually appearing on the woman's face, a trace of viciousness flashed in the maid's eyes but it was fleeting.

Yayue woke up the next day and felt much more refreshed. Although she still had some cough, her complexion was much better.

"My lord, the maid Xiuyu next to Ma Jia is asking to see you." The maid outside came in to inform Yayue.

Why did the Ma Jia family send people here?Although he was a bit puzzled, he still wanted to see him, so he ordered the maid to bring Xiuyu in.

"My servant, Xiuyu, pays respects to Wu Changzai, and the young master is blessed and golden." A handsome woman dressed as a court lady came in, holding a simple rectangular box in both hands to greet Yayue.

"Get up, I wonder why sister Ma Jia sent you here today?"

"Returning to the young master, my master heard that the young master was infected with the cold, so he specially asked the servant to bring you two high-quality wild ginseng to help you replenish your vitality." He opened the box he had been holding in his hand. .

The long stalks of ginseng in the box are old and tough, clear and long, and the texture is tight and shiny. They are indeed two good ginseng.

Instructing Bixiao to take the box, Yayue said to Xiuyu, "On behalf of Ben Gong, I would like to thank my sister."

"The servant girl will not disturb the young master's rest, and the servant girl will leave first."

"My lord, my servant, go and ask the maid who decocts the medicine to help you cook a bowl of ginseng water to replenish your vitality."

"Alright, you can go and order, don't spoil sister Ma Jia's wishes."

After drinking Shentang Yayue, she picked up the unfinished embroidery in the house and began to embroider. Gradually, Yayue felt abdominal cramps, dizziness and vomiting.Seeing this situation, Bi Xiao hurried to ask the imperial physician.

"My lord, this is a sign of poisoning. If you dare to ask me what you ate today, can you let the old minister take a look." The imperial doctor who came to make a diagnosis after finishing his pulse asked Ya Yue with a serious expression on his face, frowning.

"My little master took the medicine you prescribed two days ago today, and the meals were arranged in the imperial dining room on weekdays. I also drank a bowl of ginseng soup." Bi Xiao followed the imperial doctor's order and served the medicine dregs and ginseng soup Get some up and let the imperial physician identify them.

After the imperial physician checked them one by one, he held the bowl of ginseng soup and asked Bi Xiao, "This bowl of ginseng soup is what your young master drank? Do you know that this soup contains oleander. If you take a little more of this, your family will drink it." There is no cure for my little lord." After speaking, he asked people to boil the antidote quickly.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live..." Suddenly they heard the sound of saluting behind them, and everyone quickly turned around and knelt down to salute Kangxi.

"Get up, Doctor Hu, tell me what's going on? I was fine two days ago, why today I heard that Wu Chang is sick."

"Returning to the emperor, the empress was poisoned by oleander. According to my judgment, she was poisoned by drinking ginseng soup containing oleander. My minister has already ordered someone to boil the antidote. Please don't worry, Your Majesty."

Kangxi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and just after dealing with the government affairs today, he heard Liang Jiugong say that Wu Chang of Zhongcui Palace had a sudden illness.So he hurried over, and now he was relieved to hear that the imperial doctor said he was fine.

How could something so good be suddenly poisoned?Seeing Yayue struggling in pain, Kangxi felt as if a needle had been pricked in his heart.

"You are Wu Changzai's great court lady. You are responsible for Wu Changzai's food and daily life. How could you suddenly be poisoned? Tell me clearly, otherwise you don't have to serve in this palace anymore." After calming down, Kangxi decided To investigate clearly the whole story, the first thing is to understand how Yayue was poisoned.

Bi Xiao knelt down and kowtowed to Kangxi, then said: "Returning to the emperor, the young master has been caught in the cold for the past two days and it is not suitable to go out, so he has been staying in the room. Today Ma Jia sent someone to send someone Two high-quality wild ginseng came. The servant wanted to replenish the young master's vitality, so he took them and boiled water for the young master to drink. Unexpectedly, the young master began to suffer from abdominal pain shortly after drinking, so the servant immediately went to invite them. Only when the imperial physician came, did he realize that Tang Zhong had been poisoned. Please make amends, Your Majesty."

"Is this ginseng really sent by Ma Jia?"

"I don't dare to talk nonsense, this servant is indeed sent by Ma Jia."

Kangxi was very annoyed when he heard that, he didn't expect his concubine whom he had loved for many years to do such a thing.Immediately ask someone to call Ma Jia over for questioning.

Soon Ma Jiashi appeared, accompanied by Xiuyu. "The concubine pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"I heard that you loosened two wild ginseng for Wu Changzai today? Now it was found that oleander was found in this ginseng, what can you say?" Kangxi didn't ask Ma Jia to get up, Instead, let her kneel on the ground and answer directly.
