Red Mansion Fanfiction, Yuanchun became a concubine because of her mother's status
Chapter 164 Investigation failed
Not everyone among the imperial physicians summoned by the Queen believed that the Queen was poisoned.
Of course, we already know what kind of poison it is, so it is not difficult to investigate further.
Soon, two old doctors mentioned the poison.
After confirming that she was poisoned, she replaced all the maids and eunuchs in the Queen's palace who showed any suspicious behavior.
She did find some spies, but...
However, she still couldn't find any clues about the person who poisoned her.
Fortunately, the poison was easy to explain. After drinking rootless water for a few days, the Queen's poison was almost cured.
"Your Majesty, is it possible that this poison was administered by Concubine Xian?" said the palace maid Mingxin.
Her suspicion was reasonable.
Who made Concubine Xian the first person to discover that the Empress was poisoned?
Most people would not think that the abnormality on the Empress' body was poisoning.
If a good complexion means poisoning, then the first person to be poisoned would probably be Concubine Xian.
"Are you saying that Concubine Xian directed and acted in this play herself?" asked the Queen.
This is possible...
If she were Consort Xian, she could choose not to speak out. If something happened to her, it would be more beneficial to Consort Xian.
“I just think this is a possibility.
Now everyone knows that their Jia family has a miracle doctor, but we will not discuss the origins of these prescriptions for now.
The Imperial Concubine has this kind of prescription. If she wants to harm someone, she has many ways to do it. "Mingxin said.
“Now we can’t find the person who poisoned her, and we don’t know how or when the queen was poisoned.
Isn't it too early to doubt Concubine Xian now?" said the maid Ming Xia.
Concubine Xian has a very good reputation in the palace. Mingxia feels that Concubine Xian should not be that kind of person.
“But if something really happens to Her Majesty, the one who will benefit the most will be this virtuous concubine,” Mingxin said.
When investigating a case, shouldn't the suspect be the person who benefits the most?
"It is possible that she revealed the fact that the queen was poisoned just to get rid of suspicion." The palace maid Mingqiu suddenly thought of this.
Is Concubine Xian really that kind?
The woman in the palace doesn't want to climb up.
She climbed from a female historian to the position of imperial concubine, but her ambition never stopped.
Now that her status is like that of a vice queen, then the next step would be to become their queen, right?
"Stop talking and find out who poisoned the food first." The queen also had a headache.
So what if they think it was the imperial concubine who did it?
Since there is no evidence, we cannot accuse her.
Even if we find evidence, it won't be easy to take down Concubine Xian. Not to mention that His Majesty likes her, the clan members will also support her.
"Your Majesty, we have searched the entire Kunning Palace, but we haven't found any suspicious people or places.
I was thinking, maybe we were looking in the wrong direction at the beginning?
The queen was not poisoned in Kunning Palace, but outside?" Ming Xia said again.
She really didn't want to do that, so everyone in their Kunning Palace was taken away for questioning one by one.
"He must be outside, otherwise why haven't we found any clues?" Mingxin responded.
The difficulty of this matter lies in the fact that they know that the queen has been poisoned, but they have never seen the poison with their own eyes.
The book only records the existence of this poison but does not mention what it looks like.
The Queen Mother began to recall that she had been to many places recently.
She had visited Concubine Shi, Concubine Ran, and Concubine Ning in the harem when they gave birth.
Apart from those three places, she only went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.
"Could it be that my aunt made a mistake?" The queen began to doubt.
It wasn't that she suspected the Queen Mother would poison her, but that she never let her guard down no matter where she went.
The only thing that made her feel at ease was the Queen Mother.
She knew that the Queen Mother would not harm her.
She felt that the other party might have taken advantage of her psychology.
"Not likely?" Mingxin replied.
That was the Queen Mother, whose methods were much stronger than their Empress. She had no reason to attack their Empress.
“I’m not talking about the Queen Mother, but the people on her side.
I thought about it carefully and realized that I only ate when I went to the Queen Mother's place.
This disease enters through the mouth, and poison is the same." said the queen.
Although she asked her concubines to come and pay their respects to her only on the first and fifteenth day of every month, she herself visited the Empress Dowager almost every two days.
The Queen Mother did not require the ladies in the palace to pay their respects to her.
After she entered the palace, the empress dowager retreated to the second line.
"We also have some people at the Empress Dowager's place. I have asked them, and there is nothing unusual on the Empress Dowager's side." Mingxin said.
Naturally, they would not just investigate the palace maids and eunuchs in Kunning Palace, but anyone who had contact with them would be investigated.
As for the Queen Mother, she is of noble status and it is difficult for them to investigate.
“There is nothing unusual on my side, but wasn’t I also poisoned?
Anyway, no matter if it was a trick played by my aunt or not, it would be right to let my aunt settle accounts with the servants in her palace." The Queen said.
Of course, she wasn't just talking.
She turned around and found the Queen Mother.
"You suspect the manpower on my side, why don't you suspect Concubine Xian?" The Queen Mother was very angry when she knew the Queen's intention.
"But mother, your daughter-in-law has only eaten here before.
It won't take much effort to check this out. If you find out that there is nothing wrong with you, you can blame your daughter-in-law later." The queen said.
"How are you going to investigate? Do you want to interrogate the people around me?" the Queen Mother asked.
If the Queen really took the people around her, where would she put her face?
"No, I don't dare. I just want you to check the people around me." said the Queen.
Although she was in charge of the palace affairs and her mother no longer cared about it, the queen did not dare to offend the empress dowager.
"There is no problem with the people around me. You should think about other people," said the Queen Mother.
The people around her have all been with her for many years. The people around the queen may betray her, but the people around her never will.
She is the empress dowager. No matter how the ladies below her fight, and no matter which prince finally sits on the throne, she is the grand empress dowager.
The servants who follow her are the happiest!
"My daughter-in-law really can't think of anything." The queen said in a low voice.
She admitted that she was incompetent.
She tried almost every method, but she couldn't find the person who poisoned her.
The imperial physician said that this poison takes effect from the moment it is used.
She was poisoned just within the last half month.
After ruling out the chronic poisoning that someone else had given her, she thought it would be easy to check in the next half month.
"If you can't find the cause in Kunning Palace, then check the entire harem. You will eventually find something," said the Queen Mother.
She knew what was going on with the Queen, and she also realized the seriousness of the problem.
