Ji Wu Jiu had people search Kunning Palace carefully, but found nothing. He was puzzled and asked Ye Zhenzhen, "Did you and Su Yue touch something elsewhere at the same time?"
Ye Zhenzhen thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No."
Ji Wu Jiu turned around and asked Su Yue, "Are there people like you in Kunning Palace?"
At this time, Su Feng, who was standing aside, replied, "Back to the emperor, I also have some of these symptoms, but they are milder than Sister Su Yue, and no one else has them."
"You are probably like this because you also go in and out of the Queen's Nuan Pavilion, but not as frequently as Su Yue. In other words," Ji Wu Jiu summed up to Ye Zhen Zhen, "If someone poisoned her, it must be someone who poisoned her. In your room."
Ye Zhenzhen nodded and said, "I thought so too, but Wang Youcai and the others almost demolished my bedroom and didn't find anything wrong."
While several people were wondering, Imperial Doctor Tie came outside to check Ye Zhenzhen's pulse. It has been more than a day since Ye Zhenzhen moved to Qianqing Palace yesterday. She feels that she has strength in her body and her mind is clear. Sure enough, Doctor Tie looked at it and said, "Your Majesty is much better. In a day or two, she will be fine." He looked at Su Yue again, and it was the same.
Despite this, Kunning Palace still cannot return.
Tie Imperial Physician increased or decreased the medicinal materials and dosage, prescribed a new prescription, and gave Suyue good instructions. He carried the medicine box and left. As soon as he reached the door, he turned back and said, "I dare you to ask your Majesty, is this charcoal basin burning fragrant wood from the sea?"
Ji Wu Jiu replied, "Exactly, do you recognize it too?"
"Does Kunning Palace also burn this kind of charcoal?"
"Yes."
Tie Taiyi stroked his beard and said to himself, "I see."
"What did you see?"
"Back to the emperor, this fragrant wood from the sea is a specialty of Nanyang. The Imperial Hospital has collected some of it. Because it has no medicinal properties, it is not noticeable. But it has a very special place. Only the locals know it. I am the one in China. People know very little about it. Wei Chen also accidentally heard it mentioned by a friend from Luzon."
"Oh? What is it?"
Tie Taiyi did not answer, but asked, "Wei Chen remembers that there is a pot of narcissus in the queen's bedroom. Is it still there?"
Su Yue replied, "It's still there, always open."
"This is it. The aroma produced when burning fragrant wood in the sea will react with the aroma of narcissus to form a poisonous gas. If a person inhales it for a long time, he will show symptoms of fatigue and physical weakness, and it will not be obvious from the pulse. It's not poisoning, but it looks like she was overly frightened. The reason why the Queen is sick this time must be because she mistakenly put the burning sea fragrant wood and narcissus together."
Everyone was stunned by what he said.
After rewarding Imperial Physician Tie, Ji Wu Jiu stepped back, pulled Ye Zhen Zhen into his arms, sighed and said, "Zhen Zhen, I have made you suffer." This time he had a very direct feeling towards Ye Zhen Zhen. She felt guilty because he gave her the sea fragrance and she clearly didn't want it, but he just persuaded her to accept it.
Moreover, he has seen it clearly these days. Every woman in the harem pretends to be weak, but in fact they are ruthless and cruel when it comes to harming others, and they do whatever they can to do it. Ye Zhenzhen, on the other hand, looked a bit arrogant and had nothing to do with the word "weak", but in fact, she was softer than anyone else. Even after being tricked so many times, she didn't save a single life. It wasn't that she couldn't, but that she didn't want to. Xu Cairen has a vicious scheme. She clearly had the opportunity to eradicate the problem, but in the end she only helped her remove her hair.
Ji Wu Jiu suddenly felt sorry for Ye Zhen Zhen. In fact, this woman is really not suitable to stay in the palace.
At this time, Ye Zhenzhen said, "Your Majesty, even you have been tricked this time."
Isn’t that right? Ji Wu Jiu took the initiative to ask for Hai Li Xiang from the Queen Mother, and it was Ji Wu Jiu who took the initiative to give it to Ye Zhen Zhen. He used it for a few days and felt that it was very good. He thought it was just an ordinary fragrant wood, but he did not expect that the Queen Mother took off the button early.
"Mother, mother, why are you pressing so hard?" Ji Wu Jiu sighed helplessly, he gently caressed Ye Zhen Zhen's cheek, "Zhen Zhen, I can't let you suffer any more this time, I want to give you You seek justice."
"No," Ye Zhenzhen shook her head, "Your Majesty, I don't think this matter is that simple."
"Oh?"
"This characteristic of Hai Lixiang is too unconventional. In the entire Imperial Hospital, only Imperial Physician Tie probably knows about it. So where did the Queen Mother know about it? This is one. Second, she can calculate so accurately step by step. , I have played a trick on both you and me, and the trick is only to take the bait, so that I can only swallow the loss and swallow it in my stomach... It is not pleasant to say," Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyes and looked at Ji Wu Jiu, "The Queen Mother may not have such means."
What she said was already very pleasing to the ear. The Queen Mother would never use such methods in her eight lifetimes.
So, the Queen Mother was involved in this matter, but there must be more powerful people making suggestions.
Ji Wu Jiu is such a smart person. He was too anxious just now to think about it carefully. Now that Ye Zhen Zhen said this, he thought about it in the blink of an eye. After a moment of deep thought, he said, "This kind of Only people from Luzon should know about this."
"Is there anyone in the palace who grew up in Luzon?"
"Yes. In the year I ascended the throne, Luzon paid tribute to twelve beauties. I kept two and rewarded the rest to the officials below."
When Ye Zhenzhen heard what he said, she immediately felt that she had found the problem, "Who are the two people left behind?"
"..."
Ye Zhenzhen was quite speechless. She could not even remember this man clearly.
Actually, this cannot be blamed on Ji Wu Jiu. There were many beauties from foreign countries as tribute, but he would often only leave one or two meanings behind, and once they were released into the harem, the rest would disappear. He is not a lustful person, and he doesn't have much curiosity about women. What's more, he remembered that the two beauties from Luzon were dark and thin, which didn't suit his taste at all, so he never got lucky once.
So Ji Wu Jiu called Feng Youde.
"Your Majesty, two beauties, both surnamed An, have been appointed as attendants. One of them died of depression because she missed her hometown. The other has now been promoted to a talented person and lives in the side hall of Yaoguang Pavilion." Feng Youde replied. road.
After hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen sighed and said to herself, "He is a miserable person."
Ji Wu Jiu immediately asked someone to bring An Cairen, and said with a stern face, "If you don't want to be accused of murdering the queen and die without a complete body, then you should tell the truth: What did you do about Hai Lixiang? Has anyone mentioned it?"
An Cairen didn't know what happened. He was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, not daring to speak. He looked at Ji Wu Jiu and then at Ye Zhen Zhen.
Ye Zhenzhen said in a friendly manner, "Someone put Hailixiang and Narcissus together to harm me. I know it was not you. You only need to tell the Emperor and me, who else knows about this matter. If you don't tell me, , I can’t protect you.”
"Go back to the emperor, the empress, it is... the virtuous concubine," An Cairen knew as soon as he heard that he was in trouble, and said with tears, "I have lived in Yaoguang Pavilion for a long time, and I am not like anyone else. They are familiar with each other, and usually have no one to accompany them. After entering the palace, Concubine Xian came to Yaoguang Pavilion several times and chatted with Chen Concubine a few times. Chen Concubine then told Concubine Xian some about the customs and customs of her hometown. Concubine Xian was very happy. I’m sure, I only told Concubine Xian about Hai Lixiang.”
After hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said, "This virtuous concubine is really good at being a good person." In the harem, no matter high or low, everyone was well coaxed by her, and no one praised her as a virtuous woman.
Anger appeared on Ji Wu Jiu's face, "It is indeed her."
Ye Zhenzhen asked Suyue to send An Cairen out and told her not to mention this matter to others. Later, when he looked back at Ji Wu Jiu, he found that his face was not very good, he was a little tired and a little disappointed. Ye Zhenzhen could understand Ji Wu Jiu's mood right now. Concubine Xian was already lovable, and she was Fang Xiuqing's daughter. She usually looked like an otherworldly fairy who could not eat the fireworks of the world. Now it turns out that she is a scheming femme fatale that most men probably can't stand.
Ji Wu Jiu looked at Ye Zhen Zhen with apologetic eyes, "Zhen Zhen, whatever you want to do to her this time, I will help you."
"What can I do to her?" Ye Zhenzhen asked. Concubine Xian was really clever in this serial scheme, luring people into the trap without leaving any trace, so that she could take her out early without leaving any evidence. Moreover, even if something happened, the Queen Mother would be in front of her, so she wouldn't be hurt at all.
Ye Zhenzhen started to admire Concubine Xian a little. Such a beautiful plot was intertwined with each other. She asked herself that she might not have been able to figure it out if she were herself. However, after all the calculations by this woman, she could not conclude that she, Ye Zhenzhen, was born with no respect for ghosts and gods, let alone that Imperial Physician Tie had accidentally learned about the characteristics of Hailixiang. Therefore, it is said that man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation.
Anyway, Concubine Xian escaped easily this time, leaving Ye Zhenzhen to suffer the consequences.
However, Ye Zhenzhen planned to give in, but Ji Wu Jiu did not. Men all have dignity, and as an emperor, dignity cannot be touched. What a good thing. His own mother and his little wife teamed up to use him to harm his eldest wife. Not only did they almost kill Ye Zhenzhen, but they also made him lose his status in front of his own woman. This is unbearable!
Conviction requires evidence. That is someone else’s principle. He is the emperor. Is there anything he can’t do? If Ji Wu Jiu was someone who played tricks on people, he wouldn't even be afraid of those two cunning foxes, Ye Xiu Ming and Fang Xiu Qing. How could he be afraid of the two women in the palace?
So what if the Queen Mother is my biological mother? I can't touch you, but I can disgust you. You tried every possible means to kill the queen, isn't it just because her surname is Ye?
The next day, when Ye Mufang set off for Shandong, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly came to see him off with a group of guards, which shocked Ye Mufang. Other officials from the Ministry of Industry present were also flattered and frightened. You must know that among all the six ministries, the Ministry of Industry has the weakest sense of existence. It does not control the appointment of officials like the Ministry of Personnel, nor does it control the world's population, money and food like the Ministry of Revenue. It does not have the power to control the army like the Ministry of War. Unlike the Ministry of Rites, which has frequent contact with the royal family and has the opportunity to please the Holy Emperor. In short, this is a department that wants power but not power, and wants money but not money. Ye Mufang was thrown into the Ministry of Works by his grandfather because the Ye family's power needed to be extended to the Ministry of Works. Another reason was that he was really interested in things like engineering construction, so although it was hard work, he was happy with it.
Ji Wu Jiu praised the officials from the Ministry of Works on the spot, moving many officials to tears.
Not only that, Ji Wu Jiu also gave Ye Mufang a team of twelve of his own soldiers, claiming that he would keep Ye Mufang unscathed. When many people heard this, they rolled their eyes inwardly. Ye Erye is a river builder and Ye Xiu Ming's grandson. Who would harm him with nothing to do?
After seeing Ye Mufang off, Ji Wu Jiu dropped by the Ye Mansion, paid his respects to his teacher and rewarded him with many things. Ye Xiu Ming was not used to Ji Wu Jiu's sudden enthusiasm, and many unfriendly words suddenly popped into his head. These words were finally combined into one sentence: Are we finally going to take action...
Ji Wu Jiu still didn’t know what kind of shadow his kind words of comfort had left on Ye Xiu Ming. In short, he left Ye Mansion with satisfaction and returned to the palace.
The Queen Mother found out what happened today very quickly. In the Cining Palace, Ji Wu Jiu calmly looked at the Queen Mother's face that was almost distorted when she was angry, thinking that this was not the solution, and he had to find a way to solve it once and for all.
As for the virtuous concubine, haha...
On that day, the news spread throughout the harem that the Queen had fallen ill due to excessive fright. The Queen Mother thought that Ji Wu Jiu went to comfort the Ye family because Ye Zhenzhen was sick, so she felt a little better. However, she soon discovered that that was not the case at all. Because, he actually wanted Concubine Xian to go to Jingxiang Temple to practice for a period of time and pray for the Empress!
Isn’t spiritual practice the same as becoming a monk? Even though you are a monk, you are still a monk. It's easy to get a concubine to go to a nunnery to practice, but maybe she will be hopeless for the rest of her life.
The Queen Mother was so angry that her internal organs were trembling, but she could not refute Ji Wu Jiu. Because the virtuous concubine has always created a good image of being virtuous, doing good and respecting the Buddha. Now, the emperor wants to choose someone from the concubines who can be close to the Buddha to pray for the queen. If he doesn't choose her, who should he choose?
No matter what, one is the queen and the other is the concubine. Whatever the queen has, you have to do whatever the concubine asks you to do.
Concubine Xian was really scared this time. She didn't expect Ji Wu Jiu to be so heartless. Due to her virtuous habits, she couldn't act like a rogue, so she could only cry silently in front of Ji Wu Jiu, pretending to look like she was heartbroken and reluctant to leave the Emperor, and neither said she wanted to go nor said she couldn't go. I just hope that Ji Wu Jiu will soften his heart and retract his holy will.
Ji Wu Jiu really seemed to have softened his heart. He said, "I advise you to go hide for a while. The Queen wants you to shave your hair too, so that you can appear sincere."
Concubine Xian knew that the queen had a perverted preference for hair removal, so she did not dare to hesitate anymore and quickly packed her bags and went to Shizuka An.
