In the Dajing Palace, Emperor Guangde Lei Ting was furious because the imperial concubine was diagnosed with poisoning by the miracle doctor. The first person to be affected was the imperial physician who could not diagnose the imperial concubine's condition.
The three imperial physicians were dragged down for interrogation. They all knew in their hearts that they might not have returned. Their faces were pale and they collapsed on the ground. When the imperial physician Wen was dragged up, he suddenly came back to his senses and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine's illness is very similar to the condition of Concubine Hui. It is really not the fault of the three others!"
When Dong Yuheng heard this, he laughed furiously. He waved his hand and still asked someone to pull them down.
Chen Ning learned that she had been poisoned and took a deep breath to endure the sadness. She knew that she might have such a day, but why... it was her child!
"Yuheng, if it has nothing to do with the imperial physicians, let them go. If you don't have any skills in medicine, you won't have to die..." She leaned against his chest and closed her eyes, saying weakly.
"I know," Dong Yuheng kissed her forehead pity, "Wuchen has gone to study the method of detoxification, and you will recover soon. You should rest well, get up after a night's sleep, nothing will happen."
Chen Ning nodded weakly, Dong Yuheng picked her up, asked Liuli and his maid to change into clean bedding, and then he changed her clean clothes before carrying her back to the bed to lie down.
"It's fine to find the real murderer, don't kill innocent people." Before he left, Chen Ning held his heavy eyelids and said softly.
"I follow you." Dong Yuheng agreed gently.
When she slowly fell asleep, the emperor left Chunxi Palace, with a solemn and murderous look on his face.
Three imperial physicians were dragged out of the imperial concubine's palace into the Interior Office. Concubine Hua was beaten to ten major boards and is still under trial in Zhaohua Palace. The harem was not aware of the changes in the turmoil and people were in panic.
Immediately afterwards, a group of kitchen servants were arrested, the people from Huanongying Palace were arrested, and the servants of Chunxi Palace were taken down.
News came from somewhere, and it turned out that the imperial concubine was poisoned and the emperor was furious.
Suddenly, the wind and the wind were in a panic.
To show his innocence, Dong Mingsheng stayed in Chunxi Palace without taking a step, but his face looked very ugly. Wei Hui quietly comforted him: "Don't worry, your highness, I have sent someone to hide the poison to Yanxi Palace just in case. Concubine Zhuang and the imperial concubine have been resentful for a long time, and it would be reasonable if she poisoned her."
Dong Mingsheng hummed coldly.
In Zhaohua Palace, Hua Nongying passed through ten boards and was beaten to howl. She was already half dead and lost her human form. When Meng Ya forced her to confess, she was so scared that she was all afraid.
She said that it was Concubine Zhuang who forced her to do it, and she was afraid of Concubine Zhuang's methods, so she was obsessed with doing this horrible thing.
Dong Yuheng and Meng Ya had a vague feeling before Hua Nongying was beaten to the board. Among the concubines in the harem, the most likely person to do such a thing was Concubine Zhuang.
Wanfu held an imperial eunuch in his hand and led the eunuch to search the Yanxi Palace. Violators were killed without mercy.
Concubine Zhuang was extremely calm this time and allowed them to rummage through boxes and cabinets in their bedroom.
Because when she heard that the idiot Hua Nongying was caught, she destroyed all the evidence. As long as she refused to die, no one could do anything to her.
Unexpectedly, an eunuch actually found a pack of medicine powder in a treasure bottle in the Babao Pavilion.
She widened her eyes, then she panicked and shouted: "This is not my thing! Someone dares to frame me! It must be the imperial concubine!"
Wanfu returned to the study of Chunxi Palace to find Dong Yuheng to report his life, and reported all kinds of strange things about Concubine Zhuang along with the things found in Yanxi Palace. The emperor asked him to take the medicine bag to Wuchen and temporarily put Concubine Zhuang under house arrest in Yanxi Palace.
Although she found something suspected to be poisoned in Yanxi Palace, Dong Yuheng did not think that it was done by Concubine Zhuang. She did not have the patience to poison this kind of poison, and she did not have the chance to poison Chen Ning. Unless there was a mastermind behind her or someone else.
Dong Yuheng pinched his eyebrows. He was always thinking about Chen Ning's situation, but he couldn't calm down. He called the eunuch and learned that Chen Ning was still sleeping peacefully, so he calmed down a little again.
His purpose was Chen Ning's two days of living, and it recorded in detail the food Chen Ning had eaten a few days ago. Wuchen had concluded that this poison must be an internal medicine, and the poison might be slowly and gradually eroded, making people unaware of it.
Unfortunately, Chen Ning was worried a few days ago and had very little daily meals, and they were all sent to the kitchen. Liuli personally tested the poison, and only one of them was still eye-catching.
Chen Ning ate a bowl of porridge sent by Chen Mei.
The first thing Dong Yuheng suspected was Chen Mei.
Before this, he always felt that she was just a person who wanted to please others and depend on others as a survival figure. She only made small fuss and could not cause big storms. However, the matter of Hua Nongying surprised him slightly. Even if Hua Nongying had a different expression, it was only a short moment. She was sure that she had a ghost in her heart and could get both stolen goods, which made him suspicious.
And if Concubine Hui was also poisoned, then she would be even more suspicious when she lived in Fuxi Palace at that time.
However, she was a little concubine, and before entering the palace, she was a lady from the deep boudoir who never left the door. Where did she get such a vicious medicine?
He also asked Wan Fu to send the harem figures to the secret guards to monitor, but did not realize the connection.
"Come here, call the servants in Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Chen's palace and send two people to serve each other." Dong Yuheng understood very well that no matter what they did, one or two slaves must know the truth. He had to have a clear idea in his mind when interrogating them, and these few hours would also make them feel uncomfortable.
At this time, the second prince asked for a meeting and said that he wanted to visit his mother. Dong Yuheng waved his hand and refused to let him see him.
After a while, Chen Mei's palace maids and eunuchs were waiting outside. Dong Yuheng personally interrogated them one by one.
He thought that it would take some effort to examine these slaves, but those who have ghosts in his heart were unwilling to admit it, and those who were fine were afraid of being implicated.
Unexpectedly, except for one or two great palace maids who were confused about the truth, the other palace maids and eunuchs seemed to say the truth. Although they were afraid of hesitation, they were obviously the truth.
What’s strange is that the same is true for Concubine Zhuang’s palace. Except for Concubine Zhuang’s confidant female officials and eunuchs, the other dozen servants answered in a row. Even the incident of Concubine Zhuang secretly asking Hua Nongying on the night before Shen Ning was sick.
After asking the last palace maid, Dong Yuheng asked before waving her back: "What are you telling the truth?"
The palace maid replied, "Everything is true, I dare not deceive Your Majesty."
"You are a foolish slave. Is it true that your master will take the blame if he makes a mistake?"
The palace maid was so scared that she kowtowed repeatedly, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
"Why?" The emperor's voice was a little louder.
The palace maid knelt on the ground, quieted for a while, and then said softly: "I... admire the Imperial Concubine."
When the emperor heard this, a trace of strange feelings slipped through his heart.
Chen Ning was quiet in the harem, but she still won love with her virtue.
He curled his lips slightly and asked the maid to retreat. Then he pondered the confessions of these palace servants, and suddenly a similar statement flashed across the two. Chen Mei's palace maid Yan'er and eunuch Xiao Hongzi seemed to be eating with each other.
This is not uncommon for food in Jinggong, but he seems to have heard of this little Hongzi somewhere.
Dong Yuheng recruited Wan Fu, "Go and ask Xiao Hongzi's eunuch from which palace."
Wanfu took the order and left, but the queen sent someone to come and said that there was something important to discuss and asked him to move to Zhaohua Palace.
Dong Yuheng got up, saw Chen Ning, who was pale and pale, sighed lightly, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and then turned around and left.
Dong Yuheng had just left, and Dong Mingsheng entered the main hall again. At this time, Liuli was also arrested for interrogation. Ruyi and the palace maids of Qiankun Palace arrived at Chunxi Palace together. At this time, she and another large palace maid were guarding the alley in the inner hall and saw Dong Mingsheng coming to salute.
Dong Mingsheng said: "Aunt Ruyi, is your mother awake?"
Ruyi said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has just visited you for a while, but the Empress has not yet woken up."
Dong Mingsheng stretched his head and looked in. After a while, he begged: "Aunt Ruyi, I really care about my mother. Can you let me go in and take a look? Just take a look."
Ruyi said in embarrassment: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has given me when he left, and no one is allowed to go in and disturb the Empress."
"Aunt Ruyi, my mother told me to visit her again at night, just let me go in and take a look. I heard that my mother was poisoned and my heart was burned by fire. I was really restless." Dong Mingsheng blinked, and tears seemed to flash in his eyes. "I just want to see if my mother is safe. My father was anxious. I am afraid that I won't let me see my mother tomorrow. I feel really uncomfortable."
Dong Mingsheng respects Ruyi very much on weekdays. When he sees her, he calls "Aunt Ruyi" and doesn't even let her kneel.
"This..." Ruyi hesitated for a moment and looked at the people around her, "Then your highness only sneaked in for a while, and the servants were guarding you for you, just take a look and then come out."
Dong Mingsheng was overjoyed, "Thank you, Aunt Ruyi!"
Chen Ning was sleeping with nightmares, and the sweat that Dong Yuheng had just wiped away covered his forehead densely.
"Mother, Mother." In the hazy she heard someone calling anxiously.
Chen Ning wanted to wake up, but he still couldn't open his eyes.
"Mother, Mother." Dong Mingsheng lowered his voice. Seeing that he couldn't wake her up, he gently pushed her with his hands.
Chen Ning then slowly opened his eyes and tried hard to see the person in the dim shadow. "Sheng'er?" Her voice was as dull as an old man.
"Mother, you are too thirsty. I'll serve you to drink some water." Dong Mingsheng helped her up hard and took a teacup aside.
Chen Ning was weak all over and leaned against him and took a sip.
"Mother, let's drink more."
Chen Ning shook his head gently.
"Mother, I beg you, I'll finish this drink." Dong Mingsheng's voice seemed a little anxious.
"Sheng'er?" Chen Ning looked at him slowly.
"What are you doing!" A loud shout suddenly came from the door.
