Zhen Huan and colleagues Mi Wan Ling Xin

dispensable.And the emperor probably just regarded her as a good singing oriole bird.It's just a pity for such a lovely person from Xiaojiabiyu!If I don't have that singing voice in the future, how should I deal with myself~" After finishing speaking, she got up and put Su Xin's hand back to Tao Ranju. The blue color behind the rockery flashed past from the tip of her eyes, and Gu Mi smiled with a sly look on her lips. Zhen Huan , I am waiting for the day when you betray your relatives and have nowhere to turn for help.

048. The tapioca incident

The early morning sun gently caressed Gu Mi's cheeks, feeling a little dazzling Gu Mi woke up slowly.

Seeing that she was awake, the waiter turned around and went out to order the pen to bring the toiletries into the inner room, while he went to the small kitchen to check the breakfast.And Siqi stayed in the inner room to wait for Gu Mi to wash and change clothes.

After breakfast, Gu Mi was rinsing his mouth, and came in with a qin to report to Gu Mi: "Your Majesty, because the empress Wenyi's spitting up milk has not improved, the Emperor, the Empress and several other Empresses and Young Mistresses went together to take care of the situation." Detang visits the Empress Wenyi"

After spitting out the tea in his mouth, he said, "Then let's go visit Diji too."

"Concubine Ming is here!"

When Gu Mi entered Shende Hall, everyone was eating horseshoe soup. "All blessings to the emperor, all blessings to the empress, greetings, sisters."

"Get up. Why did Concubine Ming come here?" Xuan Ling asked.

"I heard that the emperor, the empress and all the sisters have come to visit Wenyi Diji, how can I sit in Taoran's residence?"

"Your concubine is interested, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

General Gu Mi sat down, and Concubine Hua said, "Since Concubine Ming is here, let's have a bowl of horseshoe soup together."

"Thank you, Ma'am, for your kindness. It's just that this horseshoe soup is cold in nature. I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear it." Gu Mi smiled apologetically.

Concubine Hua snorted coldly when she heard the words, and said nothing more.

During the conversation, Cao Jieyu carefully fed the horseshoe soup into Wen Yi's mouth spoon by spoon from the nanny's arms, and wiped the saliva from the corners of her mouth with a silk from time to time. Seeing the delicious food, a gentle smile appeared on her tired face.

Seeing this, Gu Mi secretly thought that such a gentle and considerate mother would be willing to do something to her own child, tsk tsk.

Seeing this, the queen smiled and said: "I see that Di Ji is eating delicious food, it seems that she will be well soon."

Cao Jieyu showed a grateful expression when she heard the words, and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your concern."

After feeding a few mouthfuls, the wet nurse stepped forward and said, "Little master, it's time to breastfeed Di Ji." As she spoke, she hugged Wen Yi and turned her side to breastfeed her.

A small child, the nurse just finished feeding the milk, but after a while, milky white milk was spit out from the mouth, and soon the nose also gushed out like a spring, like a small white rainbow, even the horseshoe soup just eaten They also vomited out together.Wen Yi's small and soft body couldn't bear it, she was almost suffocating and trembling, she couldn't stop crying, and her small face was blue and purple.Cao Jieyu couldn't bear it any longer, and cried "Wow", snatched the baby from the nurse, hugged her upright, put her cheek on Wen Yi's small face, and patted her on the back gently with gestures.

Gu Mi also subconsciously caressed her already protruding lower abdomen, showing an unbearable expression on her face.

Concubine Hua also shed tears and reached out to hug Wen Yi.Cao Jieyu was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't let go immediately, showing great reluctance.Concubine Hua resentfully let go.For a while, people turned their backs.

Xuan Ling was furious when he heard his daughter crying, he stepped forward two steps and pointed at the imperial physician, "What's going on? It hasn't improved after three days of treatment. But it's getting worse!"

Seeing that Longyan was furious, the imperial doctor was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I... I really don't know. It is reasonable to say that most babies spit up milk during the first two months of life, due to the narrow pylorus. Now Di Ji is one year old..." He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Xuan Ling yelled angrily: "Trash! Useless things! Even babies can't be cured of spitting up."

The queen hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, lest anger hurt your body and it will be bad. Let the imperial doctor take a closer look."

The imperial physician repeatedly kowtowed and said yes.After thinking for a while, he said: "Weichen thought over and over that it might be caused by Diji's stomach upset, and he thought it was something that hurt his stomach. Weichen wanted to check what Diji had eaten since the day Diji vomited heavily. "

Xuan Ling said without hesitation: "Okay."

The baby's food was listed one by one on the long red sandalwood table. The imperial doctor checked one by one and found nothing abnormal, and his face became more and more gray. It's that easy to leave the hospital.Everyone stood behind the queen, whispering unavoidably for a while.

Until the imperial physician picked up the half-eaten horseshoe soup that Wen Yi had just eaten and looked at it carefully for a long time, suddenly a look of joy appeared on his burnt yellow face, and immediately knelt down with a solemn expression: "I feel that there is something wrong with this soup, just to be cautious, please The emperor sent the father-in-law who tasted the food in the imperial dining room to distinguish it together."

Xuan Ling's expression darkened when he heard these words, Xuan Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Go tell Zhang Youlu from the Imperial Dining Room."

Zhang Youlu arrived after a while, rinsed his mouth with clear water, tested the poison with a silver needle first, and then took a sip with a spoon and tasted it slowly.He frowned slightly, took another spoonful, tasted it, and replied: "This horseshoe soup is non-toxic, but it is not only made of horseshoe powder, it is mixed with cassava flour."

Xuan Ling frowned and said, "Cassava flour, what is that?"

The imperial doctor replied: "Cassava is also called cassava, cassava, and cassava. It belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family. Cassava is the scientific name. It is a special product of Nanyang tribute, and I did not produce it in my dynasty. Cassava powder can be used for snacks, but it is just the root and leaves. Toxic and must be handled with care.”

The queen said in astonishment, "You mean someone poisoned you?"

The imperial doctor shook his head and said: "Cassava flour is generally non-toxic, but the baby's stomach is delicate. Eating cassava flour will irritate the stomach and cause vomiting or vomiting, and it will weaken and die in the long run." He added: "Cassava flour and horseshoe flour are similar in color and shape. , it is not easy to detect when mixed together."

The concubines who had just eaten the horseshoe soup were panicked and wanted to vomit, and a few uncontrollable whimpers burst into tears.

The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "My ladies and gentlemen, please don't panic. I dare to conclude that this cassava flour is non-toxic, and the dosage will only stimulate the baby's stomach, and it will have no effect on adults." Only then did everyone feel relieved.

Xuan Ling's face was ashen, "How does the imperial dining room do things, even this can be wrong?!"

Zhang Youlu kowtowed and didn't dare to speak, Concubine Hua said: "The imperial dining room is proficient in this way, it is definitely not wrong, it seems that someone did it on purpose."

Xuan Ling was furious: "What a vicious means, are you going to put my little girl to death?!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to say anything for a while.

Cao Jieyu couldn't help being sad, she wept and said: "I have no virtue, if there is any unethical punishment, please let the heavens have mercy on Wen Yi, as my mother, I am willing to accept any punishment from heaven."

Concubine Hua sneered, pulled her up and said, "What's the use of asking God, I'm afraid someone is making trouble and trying to make things difficult for your mother and daughter!" Then she bent her knees and said to Xuanling, "Please take pity on Cao Jieyu's mother and daughter , thoroughly investigate this matter. It can also clear up the palace."

A cold light flashed in Xuan Ling's eyes, and he said, "Investigate! Thoroughly investigate immediately!"

As soon as this remark came out, who would dare to act inappropriately.It was soon discovered that the consumption of horseshoe soup began on the night that Wen Yi vomited milk severely, that is, the day of the banquet.Wen Yi has been using this soup for the past few days, so it can be seen that the problem is indeed caused by the cassava flour mixed in the soup.

When the head of the imperial dining room and the internal supervisor inspected the palace courtyard of the concubines who had received cassava flour, their complexion became pale and awkward, and their speech also stammered.Finally said: "Only Yan Ronghua's Yifu Restaurant sent someone to come to pick up tapioca flour four days ago and said to make pearl balls. There is no one else."

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhen Huan in an instant, and the surroundings were completely silent.

Zhen Huan raised her head in astonishment when she heard the words, but she had a clear conscience and didn't pay attention to others. She just stood respectfully and said, "Since I wanted to eat horseshoe cake four days ago, my concubine asked her maid Huanbi to get it. She did bring cassava with her when she came back. Fen wants to make pearl balls for my concubine."

"Then I dare to ask Ronghua, is the cassava flour still there?"

Zhen Huan hesitated for a moment, and said calmly: "It must not be used up yet."

Xuan Ling asked: "Only someone from Zhen Ronghua Palace took it, and no one else?"

The inner eunuch did not dare to hesitate, and said, "Yes."

Xuan Ling glanced over Zhen Huan's face intentionally or unintentionally, and said calmly: "This does not prove that Zhen Ronghua did it."

Suddenly, one of the maids knelt down and said: "Zhen Ronghua went out alone during the night banquet, and the maidservant saw that the young master seemed to be heading towards Yanyuzhai."

Xuan Ling raised his eyes suddenly, and said to the court lady, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

The palace maid said respectfully: "Yes, what I saw with my own eyes is absolutely true."

Another court lady knelt down and said, "My lord is alone, and I didn't bring anyone with me."

The spearhead was directed at Zhen Huan, and it seemed that Zhen Huan had indeed thrown cassava flour into the horseshoe flour to harm Wen Yi.

Feng Shuyi was surprised and said: "If there is really cassava flour mixed in this soup, Zhen Ronghua also ate it just now, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in it?"

Qin Fangyi said disdainfully: "Didn't the imperial physician just say that, such a little bit won't kill anyone. If she doesn't eat...huh!" Feng Shuyi was slightly disappointed, and looked at Zhen Huan helplessly.

Concubine Hua looked at Zhen Huan coldly and said, "Why don't you kneel down?"

Cao Jieyu walked up to Zhen Huan's side and cried, "My sister may have misbehaved in her behavior and offended Rong Hua unintentionally. Last time in the Shuilv Nanxun Palace, my sister was just talking for a while and didn't mean to cause misunderstanding between the emperor and my sister. If you really blame Ronghua for this matter, Ronghua can beat me and scold me, but please don't make things difficult for my Wen Yi, she is still a baby." As he said that, he was about to kneel to her.

Zhen Huan grabbed her and said: "Sister Cao, why did you say that? My sister never felt that my sister had offended me in any way. My sister never made me and the emperor misunderstand about the Shuilv Nanxun Temple, so why should I remember my hatred? Say it." She paused, then asked, "Could it be my sister?
