Chapter 613
Perilla ripe water is one of the most common drinks in the Song Dynasty. Some wealthy families will add some different seasonings to improve the taste according to their preferences. The perilla ripe water in the palace is even more extraordinary.
But it was this perilla ripe water that killed ten prisoners and almost killed the queen!
"Please look at the official family. This is a recipe for perilla ripe water requested by the grass people. There are several medicinal materials. If combined with the medicinal materials in Acacia plum, they will instantly become highly toxic! It can kill people!"
Zhao Zhen changed his face and color in shock, "Mr. Qian, is this a coincidence?"
"impossible!"
Qian Yi asserted: "If one or two medicinal materials are used incorrectly, it is understandable, but if these two prescriptions are combined together, there are more than a dozen medicinal materials... After they are separated, they are two prescriptions that nourish and nourish qi. They are dull, but when they are combined together, they become fatal poisons. Such careful and concise thoughts and deliberate thoughts, it would be too unreasonable if it is a coincidence!"
After hearing this, Uncle Zhao was filled with pain on his face. He slowly closed his eyes, and his whole body was like an uncontrollable volcano. Suddenly, he suddenly widened his eyes and spit out two words from the corner of his mouth: "Catch someone!"
...
"Mr. Wen, what do you think about this?" Wang Ning'an asked in a low voice.
Wen Yanbo's face was solemn, "Jing Ping, I see, this matter is indeed a matter of deliberation, and he wants to kill the Queen!"
"Mr. Wen, is there any benefit in killing the Empress?"
"This...maybe it can stop the establishment of a crown prince, maybe..." Wen Yanbo muttered a few words, and suddenly shuddered in shock. He thought of a more terrifying situation!
Such careful planning is mostly done by Concubine Miao.
Concubine Miao’s motive is obvious, which is to let her son succeed to the throne and kill Zhao Zongye.
But if the queen is poisoned to death, will it affect the overall situation?
After thinking a little, Wen Yanbo shook his head.
It's simply impossible!
As analyzed earlier, the forces supporting Zhao Zongha were so huge that Zhao Zhen could not fight against them.
The queen died, Zhao Zongye had only been mourning for three years, and he would be twelve years old. During this period, will anyone stand up for the second son of the emperor? When Zhao Zongye's mourning ended, he would be made the crown prince immediately, and no one could stop him. Could he give Zhao Zongye another medicine?
Since it is useless, why do you still need to do it?
Can a woman who can eat well in the palace be a bargain?
Since it is not, there is only one explanation. In fact, from the beginning, this game was not aimed at the queen, or rather, it was not just aimed at the queen!
Don’t forget that those snacks are for Zhao Zhen!
It was Zhao Zhen who gave it to the queen on a whim. Concubine Miao would not have guessed it!
So, Empress Cao has been to take responsibility for others, and her real goal is...Uncle Zhao!
Wen Yanbo and Wang Ning'an looked at each other and both read a strong shock from each other's eyes!
This is going to kill the regicide!
The two hurriedly ran to Zhao Zhen. At this moment, Uncle Zhao had just sent someone to capture Concubine Miao. Wen Yanbo immediately said: "Your Majesty, the old minister begs to ask Doctor Qian to check the perilla ripe water in your palace immediately."
Zhao Zhen was stunned at first, and then he read a little from Wen Yanbo's gaze and said in a lost voice: "Mr. Wen, is it... that's the point of harming me?"
"I can't confirm for the time being, but be careful, there's no big mistake!"
Zhao Zhen nodded, Qian Yi immediately went to search and searched around, and found that there was no problem with the perilla ripe water in Zhao Zhen's palace. Finally, Qian Yi found a young eunuch who specialized in boiling water for the emperor.
"Qian, Mr. Qian, I have a recipe for this."
"What recipe, who gave it to you?"
"Yes, it's Xiulan in the Queen's harem."
Qian Yi was shocked and said hurriedly: "Take it to me."
The little eunuch trembled and gave Qian Yi a wrinkled paper. Qian Yi only glanced at it and concluded that, yes, this is the recipe for the perilla cooked water that the queen drank!
At this time, after Qian Yi's rescue, Empress Cao had gradually woken up.
But his face was pale and his lips were purple, and he didn't even have any strength.
"Zi Tong, Zi Tong!" Zhao Zhen's eyes were filled with tears, "You, are you okay?"
"I, I'm fine."
Empress Cao saw the emperor, Wang Ning'an and Wen Yanbo, and then saw her brothers. Even the fool knew that something big happened. She tried hard to recall and told everyone what happened yesterday.
The emperor sent someone to bring snacks. Queen Cao ate two pieces. She was old and didn't like too sweet things, so she threw them aside. After a while, she wanted to drink some water, so the palace maid Xiulan brought Perilla Cooked Water.
But Empress Cao suddenly remembered that one day ago, the young prince Zhao Zongye learned to make orange juice from the Wang family and Su Baniang, and he also made it for Empress Cao.
My son's things always make my mother feel relieved. The little guy also told the queen that drinking more juice can delay aging. Both of his master's wives are very young.
Queen Cao was happy for a moment and did not drink the perilla ripe water. She changed to the orange juice. After a while, she felt pain in her abdomen. At first, she suspected that there was something wrong with the orange juice, so she called the little prince back to the palace.
The problem is that the orange juice is directly kneaded with oranges in the palace. Just adding a little bit of jujube nectar will definitely not be poisonous. Moreover, the Wang family will not harm Queen Cao, and the young prince will not harm her mother. The orange juice is absolutely fine.
Empress Cao decided that there was something wrong with the snacks, and she knew that it was made by Concubine Miao, so Empress Cao ordered someone to report to Zhao Zhen, but then Empress Cao fainted and knew nothing.
After listening to Empress Cao’s narration, Qian Yi nodded and sighed.
"If the Caomin expected it was good, it should be that before eating the snack, the Queen drank some perilla cooked water. If she did not drink orange juice when eating the snack, she drank perilla cooked water, I'm afraid...ah!"
Queen Cao said in horror: "Indeed, I drank two glasses at noon, but it was one hour before I could eat snacks! How toxic is it so great?"
Zhao Zhen nodded, "Zi Tong, I just tried it and 10 death row prisoners have died. The beast who used this prescription to harm people should be cut into pieces!"
After hearing Empress Cao's words, what was even more surprised was Wang Ning'an and Cao Qi.
Especially the uncle, there was cold sweat on his forehead.
From the very beginning, Empress Cao determined that the problem was caused by Concubine Miao, but news came out of the palace, asking them to run away or cause trouble... This was not what Empress Cao meant at all.
Xiulan pretended to be the one who made a false statement and even came up with a saying that she would kill the mother and son. What exactly did she want to do? Will she kill the Cao family?
Why did several generations of slaves betray the Cao family or even frame the queen?
what is going on?
Cao Qi's mind was messy...
Wen Yanbo is worthy of being an old man. He exchanged glances with Wang Ning'an a few times. Both sides understood and said together: "Your Majesty, this case is too implicated. If you do not thoroughly investigate, the official, the queen, and your highness will be threatened. The old minister begs to submit the order, and the old minister and Wang Gong investigate together, and immediately interrogate all the people involved in the case. Be sure to clear the many shady curtains behind it. No matter who is implicated or how many people are pulled out, you must severely punish them!"
Zhao Zhen's head was still buzzing, immersed in horror. The murderer was actually going to attack him. Zi Tong became a scapegoat. The black hand once again reached to him. Do you really think I am a weak and bullied waste? Can you plot against me again and again?
Uncle Zhao was furious, and still furious.
"Investigate, I will check it myself!"
While speaking, someone had already taken Concubine Miao over.
This is a very beautiful woman, she is only in her early twenties, with a slender figure, a rosy and delicate face, and delicate facial features, which are almost impeccable.
But such a perfect woman actually has a ferocious heart, which is really hateful!
"Concubine Miao, you are very good!"
Zhao Zhen smiled, but he smiled particularly fiercely!
"At this point, aren't you telling the truth?"
Concubine Miao collapsed on the ground and cried bitterly.
"Sage, I have never wanted to harm the Empress, I am willing to swear to the heaven."
"Dare you still dare to say no?"
Zhao Zhen was so angry that he was about to hit someone. Wang Ning'an hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it is important to find out the truth. Please ask a few questions."
"Um."
Wang Ning'an asked: "Concubine Miao, the lovesick plums in your palace, combined with perilla ripe water, will cause death. Do you know this?"
"I don't know, I don't know at all!"
"Then where did your Xiangsimei recipe come from?"
"Yes... it's in the Queen's Palace!"
"What?" Wang Ning'an frowned, "Concubine Miao, do you know what the crime is to frame the queen?"
"I, I know... But this recipe was indeed given to me by Xiulan in the Queen's Palace. Last year, I liked to eat sour things. Xiulan happened to come to my palace and chatted for a few words. She gave me a prescription. I made some Acacia plums according to her recipe. It tasted unique. I ate a few pills before going to bed every day, and had a sweet sleep. I ate it before meals, and it can also boost appetite and strengthen the spleen... I really don't know that Acacia plums can actually make people poisoned, and I'm wronged!"
Concubine Miao crawled on the ground, crying bitterly, crying heartbrokenly, and the sun and moon were gone.
When asked here, everyone's faces changed.
All the troubles fell on a palace maid.
It seems that I will meet this Xiulan for a while!
"Bring people!"
Soon, someone escorted a palace maid in her forty years and walked in from outside. The woman stood with her brows standing, looking rebellious.
When she came in, she glanced at Cao Qi and spat fiercely.
"Unuseless goods, your Cao family is a brave guy. Why don't you rebel? Don't bring people to assist your nephew ascend the throne? You useless waste!"
Cao Qi was so angry that his lips turned blue. Wang Ning'an looked at it and said, "Present Maiden Xiulan, you gave Concubine Miao a prescription to Xiangsimei, and also gave the eunuch Zisu, a little eunuch beside His Majesty, the two prescriptions can kill people if they are combined! Do you know?"
"Of course I know!"
"What's the purpose of you doing this?"
"For what? To assassinate the dog emperor! To make their Cao family's nephew ascend the throne!" Xiulan laughed wildly, "Your Majesty, you don't know yet! The Empress is the real femtocratic woman. In order to let her son inherit the throne as soon as possible, she can do anything!"
