Chapter 294 The 6 Princes Who Eat and Wait to Die 29
After a while, the eunuchs and maids who waited on the emperor were brought up.
All of them were shaking like chaff, lying there with their heads bowed like quails.
"Li An, have you brought all the incense that His Majesty usually uses?"
"Go back to Empress Empress, it's all here."
The queen picked up one and looked at it, it seemed to be the most common incense.
"Physician Chen, come and see if there is any problem with the incense. If there is no problem, we will investigate the soup that His Majesty usually drinks."
The young imperial doctor walked forward on his knees, carefully picked up the incense from the tray, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it.
"Going back to the Empress, I need to light it, and I need a bowl of water, and it's better to have a stick of ordinary incense for comparison, but the Empress, don't worry, there is only this one, and the toxicity is close to zero."
"Okay, then do as you say."
Su Xi looked at Dong Zhaoyi's body that was about to go into epilepsy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was suppressed desperately.
She probably didn't expect the emperor to fall so soon.
The spices that the second prince just gave her a few days ago have not been delivered yet.
If you really found clues from these incenses, you only need to carefully question those eunuchs and maids, and you will definitely shake her out.
I don't know if such a person who is valued by the second prince can escape.
It's such a time, and the second prince is not here, that little brat wouldn't think of forcing the palace at this time, right?
Doctor Chen lit the incense, and the smell was familiar to all the concubines present, and they could smell it every time they went to bed.
At this time, the expressions of many people changed slightly.
Those who were not very favored began to rejoice at this time, while those who were usually favored and flaunted their might couldn't help trembling at this time.
If the poison is in the soup, they are not afraid, and the emperor will die if they die, but if it is in the incense, are they also poisoned?
Looking at it this way, Dong Zhaoyi's actions don't seem so eye-catching anymore.
The incense didn't burn very quickly, and after a long while, Imperial Physician Chen scraped out a little powder from the burned ashes and put it into the clear water that had been prepared earlier.
Scraped some powder from the ordinary incense that was brought in from another place and put it in another bowl.
All the powders from the two sides changed when they encountered clear water.
The powder scraped off from ordinary incense sticks shrunk into a ball after being put into clean water, and then melted after stirring, and it was still blue-gray.
The incense powder used by the emperor dispersed immediately after being put into the water, and the originally gray powder turned black.
"Empress, this..." Li An looked at the different changes in the two bowls, his face was full of surprise.
He, the person who served the emperor day and night, had a bad face.
Doctor Chen immediately extinguished the incense on both sides.
"Empress, the soul stripping is mixed with incense."
In this situation, the facts couldn't be more obvious.
The queen sneered twice, and looked at the court ladies and eunuchs kneeling below: "You guys are really brave! Who is in charge of the incense?"
At this time, a little maid said tremblingly: "Hui, if you go back to the empress, yes, you are a slave."
Her voice was mixed with crying, and although she admitted it now, her hands and feet were all limp.
She couldn't figure out why something went wrong in something she was in charge of.
"Who is it, look up."
The little maid raised her head, she was not very old, she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she looked ordinary, she looked like a careless person.
"I will give you a chance to explain."
"My lord, please forgive me, the empress. The slaves really didn't tamper with the incense. Well, this incense was taken by the slaves from the people in the palace. It's really not the slaves."
"Who is in the bedroom?"
"Aunt Li, who is still in the bedroom, is brought here by Aunt Li herself every time."
Hearing this, Li An winked at the little eunuch behind him, and the little eunuch immediately understood and walked out with a few people.
After waiting for a while, the little eunuch came back, whispered a few words in Li An's ear, and Li An's expression changed.
"Empress, Aunt Li is dead. She hanged herself."
"Really?" The queen raised her eyes, "It's fine if you die, it means that she is the one who did the tricks, and there are people behind her, otherwise, relying on her own courage, she would never dare to do anything to His Majesty."
"Interrogate the people in the dormitory to find out who this Aunt Li usually has contact with, and at the same time search her residence carefully."
After giving the order, she looked at Imperial Physician Chen again.
"Physician Chen, now I know what the problem is and what the medicine is. I don't know when the antidote will be prepared."
"This, this..." Imperial Physician Chen immediately lowered his head, and his body lay on the ground.
"I don't know the antidote for this thing, according to the empress's words."
After his words fell, the entire hall was silent, and even the crying and crying stopped.
Of all the people in Tai Hospital, he was the only one who recognized what kind of poison it was, but in the end, he didn't know how to cure it.
"Xiao Bao, what do you think?"
"As this person said, this thing is indeed a bit complicated, and there is indeed an antidote, but if you go back and forth from here to southern Xinjiang, let alone more than a month, the Yellow Emperor will die in half a month, even if you know the antidote. Useless."
Su Xi curled her lips, forget it, just die.
In the original world, the end of the original body and the prince and queen was not very good.
The six princes were demoted to common people, the crown prince was imprisoned, and the empress was thrown into the cold palace because of her mother's too powerful a family.
More than half of the credit goes to the emperor.
And now he has some guesses, whether the emperor's sudden onset of illness has something to do with the prince.
After all, judging by Dong Zhaoyi's appearance, it seems that the time has not yet come.
Maybe it was Su Heng who stepped in and accelerated the emperor's illness.
If the prince intervened, the Taifu probably wouldn't be able to escape.
In other words, he didn't seem to see Zhao Huaixi in the past few days, and he didn't know what he was busy with.
"Tsk, are you dissatisfied with your desires? Your body is not yet an adult! Can you be more restrained! That old man took advantage of everything!"
Xiao Bao roared with hatred for iron and steel, and there was a strange emotion in his voice.
"Do as the Romans do, that's no small thing."
Xiaobao: "..."
"Your Majesty, I just asked. Many people in the dormitory said that they often see Aunt Li and Su Yan who is next to the imperial concubine."
The queen looked at the imperial concubine kneeling on the ground.
The imperial concubine was also surprised, mixed with shock, and immediately looked at the person kneeling beside her.
The queen snorted coldly in her heart.
The imperial concubine is regarded as one of three thousand favorites in the palace. She has been in the palace for more than ten years, and her favor is enduring.
On the surface, she is the beauty brought back from Yangzhou by the emperor, but she is actually the secret guard by her side;
Everyone in this palace will lay hands on the emperor, but she will not. Only when the emperor is alive can her status be respected. Otherwise, how can she survive in this deep palace without the support of her mother's family.
"Plain smoke."
The person next to the queen walked over and pulled the person up from the ground.
"It's a beautiful little beauty, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious."
"Empress, this has nothing to do with the servant girl. Although the servant girl has some friendship with Aunt Li, she really didn't let her do such a thing. The empress empress knows."
The queen helped her own phoenix hairpin, "If you know the truth, you should tell the truth. If you confess the people behind you, I can spare your family members from death."
