After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling
Chapter 306: Celebrating Yu Nian (2)
The first to arrive was the imperial physician, who actually lived in the Guangxin Palace.
Because Yang Mei had been in poor health since childhood, Emperor Qing, in order to show his respect for him, directly arranged for an imperial physician to be stationed in Guangxin Palace so that he could see a doctor at any time.
Yan Xiaoyi brought the imperial physician who was in Guangxin Palace to Yang Mei's bedside, and then rushed to the Imperial Hospital without stopping. At a time like this, everyone should work together, how could one imperial physician do this?
Many people soon came to Guangxin Palace one after another, including the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau, Princess Li Yunrui, Emperor Qing, and the concubines from the harem.
However, almost as soon as the concubines arrived, Emperor Qing thought they were useless and in the way, so he drove them all away.
Princess Li Yunrui sat beside Yang Mei's bed, looking expressionlessly at her son who was lying on the bed with a pale and unconscious face.
"Royal brother, your queen is so bold. She is so capable even though she is under house arrest in Changqiu Palace!" Li Yunrui was even laughing.
"What does this matter have to do with the Queen?" Emperor Qing put his hands on his hips and expressed his genuine doubts.
Lin Wan'er, who had been guarding her brother's bedside, then remembered to give the teacup to Li Yunrui. Not only that, she also told him everything, including why she and Yang Mei went to Changqiu Palace, how the Queen forced them to drink tea and would not let them leave if they did not drink, and how Yang Mei drank two cups of poisoned tea in a row.
"Mother, why did the Queen do this?" Lin Wan'er threw herself into Li Yunrui's arms and asked crying.
Li Yunrui touched her hair and said slowly, "What else could it be? Because she is ill! The queen is seriously ill."
Lin Wan'er believed it and said, "But what does her illness have to do with me and my brother? It's not me and my brother who made her sick!"
Li Yunrui smiled and used his handkerchief to wipe Lin Wan'er's tears.
"Wan'er, mother will tell you that the queen is insane. She is a lunatic. If you talk to a lunatic about reason, can she understand?"
Lin Wan'er seemed to understand but not quite.
"Alright, alright, listen to what you are teaching the children!" Emperor Qing couldn't bear it anymore.
"What did I teach? I taught something that would keep my son and daughter alive!" Li Yunrui's face suddenly darkened. "Why, my royal brother finally felt that the three of us mother and son were a nuisance to you in the palace, so he planned to take over from the Queen and get rid of us?!"
"How dare you! When did I ever have such an intention?" Emperor Qing said with a fierce look on his face.
Li Yunrui stood up and walked in front of Emperor Qing: "But the fact is this. You said you didn't think about it, but how to solve it? My son's life is hanging by a thread. I want that woman to die suddenly in Changqiu Palace now, immediately, do you agree?"
Emperor Qing would definitely not agree.
He did not love the queen, that was beyond doubt, but the queen gave him the greatest contribution she could, for which she sacrificed her entire family.
He gave her the position of queen, but he could not give her love, and even put her under house arrest. It was reasonable and logical that he should have spared her life, after all, she was the prince's biological mother.
"You should understand that you have no evidence that the Queen poisoned Feng'er and Wan'er." Emperor Qing said sternly.
Li Yunrui understood, but Lin Wan'er didn't. It was the Queen who insisted that they drink tea, and she wouldn't let them leave if they didn't drink it. It was because of drinking those two cups of tea that her brother vomited blood and fainted!
The Queen is a bad person!
"Yes, you are right. Wan'er's words and the teacup don't prove anything. At least they don't prove that the Queen wanted to poison them. Even if the Queen is confronted about this matter, there will always be a maid or eunuch who will come out to take the blame.
Let me think, what reasons would they have?
Oh~ speaking up for their prince? How about this reason?
He said, "I felt sorry for the prince. The prince is the heir to the throne, but he is not as well treated as the princess's child in the palace. For this reason, he lost his mind and poisoned the young marquis and the princess."
This person will definitely emphasize that this was all his idea and had nothing to do with the Queen. "
Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Yunrui for a long while: "Since you know..."
"Since I know that, I will not point the finger at the Queen, even though we all know that it was she who poisoned my Feng'er and Wan'er." Li Yunrui interrupted Emperor Qing.
It was the first time that Lin Wan'er felt the viciousness of human nature. She had never known that something could be so complicated.
"Then what do you want?" Emperor Qing's expression couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
Li Yunrui touched her hair and smiled charmingly: "If you can't kill the queen, you can kill the people around her. Let them push out a prepared scapegoat. It's better to let me choose first.
I think the maidservant beside the queen is pretty good, like a loyal servant who is willing to sacrifice her life for her master. But one person is still too few. I think she must need someone to cooperate with her, someone to sweep the floor, comb her hair, hold the lamp, serve the food... You see, this mentions a lot of people. Why not just kill them all?
I believe that in the Changqiu Palace, only the Queen is the only white lotus that is untainted by the mud, while everyone else is just mud with dirty minds.
Brother Huang, what do you think? "
Emperor Qing sighed in his heart that his sister was still as cruel as ever, but she was willing to take a step back, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Even if she was planning something else in private, he couldn't care less.
"Then, as you say." Emperor Qing couldn't think of any reason to refuse, they were just some eunuchs and maids.
Yang Mei, who was lying on the bed, had been listening with her eyes closed for a long time. This palace was indeed a place where people were eaten.
Honghuang believes in the law of the jungle, but so far, it still relies on the strength of cultivation, not on intelligence.
The servants in Changqiu Palace were indeed innocent, but Yang Mei did not intend to plead for them.
When he and Lin Wan'er were forced by the Queen to drink poisoned tea in Changqiu Palace, no one helped them.
Yes, the servants were insignificant and could not help. He was also in pain all over and did not want to talk, so he could not help.
Yang Mei slowly opened her eyes and coughed weakly a few times.
"Brother, you're awake!" Lin Wan'er shouted in surprise while lying on the edge of the bed.
Princess Li Yunrui and Emperor Qing have now reached a consensus and have time to ask the imperial physician about Yang Mei's condition.
All the doctors looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, the doctor who was stationed at Guangxin Palace stepped forward and said with a complicated expression, "The young marquis was indeed poisoned by an extremely strong poison. Although he would not die immediately, he would not survive for more than a cup of tea. But now... Your Majesty and the Princess Royal also know that a cup of tea has already passed!"
A deadly poison in a cup of tea.
Even Emperor Qing and the eldest princess were shocked.
Lin Wan'er burst into tears: "Will my brother die? No! I don't want my brother to die! Is it because my brother drank my cup of tea that he became like this? If my brother hadn't drunk my cup of tea, he wouldn't have died!"
The little girl started to get stuck in a rut.
Yang Mei only felt that the devil's sound pierced her ears and her whole body was in even greater pain.
Seeing that Yang Mei seemed somewhat annoyed, Li Yunrui silently covered Lin Wan'er's mouth.
Turn off the mic manually.
"Silly Wan'er, it has nothing to do with how much you drink. Even if you drink a sip of this poison, you will still die." Li Yunrui looked at his daughter lovingly, as if she were a little fool.
Lin Wan'er cried so hard just now that her nose, ears, and brain seemed to be blocked. In her ears, Li Yunrui's words all sounded like "die, die, die. You will die if you are destined to die."
The little girl pouted and was about to cry again.
Li Yunrui raised his hand and pressed his fingers against his temple, thinking that he was indeed not suitable for coaxing children.
"If you keep crying, your brother will be killed by the poison before he is killed."
The little girl was so scared that she hiccupped and covered her mouth with her hands.
Yang Mei was truly relieved.
Back to the poison in Yang Mei's body, the people from the Imperial Hospital knelt on the ground, and each of them said that they were really powerless and asked His Majesty and the Princess to forgive them.
Li Yunrui sneered: "It seems that you all have thicker skins than the soles of your shoes. You receive salaries from the Imperial Hospital but you always say that you are powerless. You even have the nerve to ask for our forgiveness. I think the position of the eldest princess is reserved for you!"
The imperial doctors were extremely terrified: "We dare not!"
Yang Mei knew his body well. With his powerful soul supporting him, even a deadly poison could not kill him.
It is true that this mortal body has to suffer.
"I remember that Fei Jie from the Third Department of the Inspection Institute is the best at using poison. Why don't we let him come to the palace and take a look for Feng'er?" Li Yunrui cast an inquiring look at Emperor Qing.
The Inspection Institute was established by Ye Qingmei many years ago. It is a terrifying place in the entire Nanqing responsible for investigating important cases, major cases and serious crimes committed by officials. It has independent investigation and arrest powers, and even in certain incidents, it can have the power of trial by imperial decree, and no other institution has the right to supervise it.
The Inspection Bureau is a post-investigation agency with enormous power. With authorization from His Majesty, it can interrogate all civil and military officials in the court. Its funding comes from the inner treasury rather than the national treasury, and it is independent of all officials in terms of financial sources.
In essence, the Inspection Institute is a secret agency directly under Emperor Qing. It has power outside the Six Ministries, is not restricted by Qing laws, and only acts in accordance with imperial edicts.
The power hierarchy within the Inspection Institute is from top to bottom, with the president, the inspector, and then the heads of various departments.
It consists of eight departments. The first department is responsible for monitoring all officials in the capital, and has many spies in key departments. It is the most critical department of the Inspection Institute.
The Second Department is responsible for collecting, analyzing and making recommendations on intelligence from various sources to assist Your Majesty and the military in making plans.
The third department is responsible for the research and development of drugs and various unconventional weapons. The Fei Jie mentioned by Li Yunrui is the current head of the third department, and he is a master in terms of usage.
The Fourth Division is responsible for monitoring officials in all counties and regions except the capital, as well as detecting related intelligence. Its authority extends far beyond Southern Qing and also includes parts of Northern Qi and Dongyi City. If we only consider authority, it is the most powerful department in the Inspection Bureau except for the First Division.
The Fifth Division has always been stationed outside the capital. It was established by Emperor Qing himself and is responsible for protecting the safety of Chen Pingping, the director of the Inspection Institute. When necessary, it can also carry out cavalry raids thousands of miles away. The most glorious achievement of the Fifth Division was when it went deep into the Northern Wei Dynasty to capture the enemy's secret spy leader Sean. It is the most powerful department in the Inspection Institute.
The Sixth Department is responsible for handling assassinations and other matters, and is also responsible for protecting and appointing candidates. It is the least famous but most terrifying department of the Inspection Bureau.
The Seventh Department is responsible for torturing and imprisoning enemies, and is more professional than the Thirteen Departments of the Ministry of Justice.
The Eighth Department is responsible for reviewing all reading texts submitted through formal channels, and only articles that have passed the review of the Eighth Department are allowed to be published.
The existence of the Inspection Office is like a knife hanging over the heads of the civil and military officials of Nanqing. If someone wants to do something illegal, he has to consider whether he has the ability to compete with the Inspection Office.
Emperor Qing is the highest administrator of the Inspection Institute. Logically speaking, his nephew is now poisoned and may die at any time. Since he has thought of someone who may be able to detoxify him, what else is there to consider? The right thing to do is to call that person to the palace as soon as possible.
But Emperor Qing paused: "This is really unfortunate. Fei Jie from the Third Department was sent to Danzhou by Chen Pingping a few days ago. I also know about this."
Princess Li Yunrui laughed out of anger: "Your Majesty means that my Feng'er can only wait to die?!"
"That's not what I meant." Emperor Qing was quite fond of his nephew, otherwise he would not have allowed him to enjoy better treatment than the crown prince in some aspects.
"You, go to the Inspection Institute and call all the people from the three departments in Kyoto to the palace." Emperor Qing pointed at his personal eunuch.
Eunuch Hou immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I will go right away!"
"Brother..." Lin Wan'er lay back down beside Yang Mei's bed. The little girl now realized that she couldn't disturb her brother, so she just shed tears silently.
Yang Mei felt that she must have shed all her tears this year.
……
The useless imperial physician was temporarily sent to a side hall, and when people from the three departments arrived, the room was full of people again.
Everyone in the third department who had some knowledge of medicine or poison came and took Yang Mei's pulse one by one.
After Leng Duan, the eldest senior brother of the Third Division, had a conversation with his fellow disciples, he stood up and bowed to Emperor Qing and the eldest princess.
"Your Majesty, Princess, just as the imperial doctors said before, the young marquis has been poisoned by a deadly poison that has already entered his lungs.
Logically speaking, the young marquis should be dead, but now that a miracle has happened, it means there is still a glimmer of hope."
Compared with the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau, the people from the Inspection Bureau have more chivalrous spirit and speak more straightforwardly.
"Do you know what kind of poison is in the wind?" Emperor Qing asked Leng Duan.
Although he disliked the queen, he understood her. Since the queen had done something like poisoning someone, she would definitely not leave the antidote for herself to ensure that nothing would go wrong. If he wanted to get the antidote from the queen, it would only be a waste of time.
"It's Chunrizui. As far as I know, this is a poison from the Western Regions. So far, I haven't heard of anyone who can antidote this poison." Leng Duan told the truth.
