The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

Gu Shijin didn't expect that there was something wrong with the hot and sour noodles, so Ningyu Pavilion was almost in chaos when she fainted.

"My lady, my lady, what's wrong with you?" Xingyue pushed Gu Shijin and shouted.

After finishing lunch, Gu Shijin sat on the couch reading a book and fell down without any warning.

Xiao Linzi was also frightened: "My young master, my young master."

Xingzhu, the old man in the palace, was the calmest and arranged things in an orderly manner: "Xiao Linzi, go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician. Xingyue, go tell the emperor."

"understood."

Xingyue and Xiaolinzi ran out quickly.

At this moment, Lu Junze is handling affairs in the Yangxin Palace. Although he is still in the period of not writing, Lu Junze spends some time every day to look back at what has happened in the past few days so as not to miss any urgent matters.

Su Deyuan saw Xingyue running over anxiously, so he stepped forward and asked, "Miss Xingyue, what's the matter that makes you so anxious?"

Xingyue had been running for a long time and was out of breath. She said, "My young lady... huh... she fainted."

"Eunuch Su, please tell the emperor quickly." Xingyue said.

Su Deyuan was shocked. He knew that the emperor treated Lady Jinpin differently. "Miss Xingyue, please wait here. I will go and report to the emperor."

Su Deyuan pushed the door open and Lu Junze asked without even raising his head, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jin has fainted."

Lu Junze stood up suddenly, his brush smudged the memorials on the table, and he said as he walked, "Go to Ningyu Pavilion."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Deyuan said, "Go to Ningyu Pavilion."

When Lu Junze arrived, the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital had already arrived and was taking Gu Shijin's pulse.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty." The imperial physician stood up and saluted.

"No need to be so polite. How is Concubine Jin?" Lu Junze asked.

The imperial physician looked unhappy and said, "Your humble medical skills are not very good. Lady Jinpin's pulse looks like she is poisoned."

Lu Junze frowned: "Poisoned?!"

Lu Junze: "Su Deyuan, go and summon the head of the Imperial Hospital to the palace."

The chief physician Yang is still on rest, and the one who came is the physician on duty at the Imperial Hospital.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Song Jibai is still in Jiangnan and has not returned, otherwise Lu Junze would not be so anxious.

Lu Junze sat down next to the bed and asked Xingyue, "What did your young master eat today?"

"Your Majesty, the young lady only ate the food brought from the imperial kitchen today." Xingyue said.

"Su Deyuan, have someone take control of the people in the imperial kitchen."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Doctor Yang arrived very quickly. As soon as he entered Ningyu Pavilion, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong. He was cautiously preparing to pay his respects to Lu Junze, but was rejected by Lu Junze.

"Show it to Jinpin first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Doctor Yang first stepped forward to check on Gu Shijin's condition, and then took out a handkerchief to feel Gu Shijin's pulse.

After about half a cup of tea, Imperial Physician Yang withdrew his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Lady Jinpin's coma was indeed caused by poisoning."

Lu Junze: “What kind of poison?”

"Your Majesty, it's Zuilong."

"Drunk?" Lu Junze asked.

"Your Majesty, being drunk will not cause a person to die immediately. It will make a person fall into a coma. Although they are conscious, they cannot wake up from their sleep and eventually die in their sleep," explained Imperial Physician Yang.

“Bang!” Lu Junze slapped the table and said angrily, “How dare you!”

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Everyone in the room knelt down.

How could Lu Junze tolerate that these people dared to use such vicious means to harm others right under his nose.

"Check it for me."

At this time, Xing Zhu came in with a tray. She knelt in front of Lu Junze and said, "Your Majesty, this is the lunch my young master had today."

As soon as Gu Shijin got into trouble, Xingzhu confiscated these things.

"Imperial Physician Yang." Lu Junze nodded to Imperial Physician Yang.

Doctor Yang smelled the contents of the bowl, then took out a special silver needle from the medicine box and put it into the bowl of hot and sour noodles. In a moment, the silver needle turned black.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jin must have been poisoned by eating this." Imperial Doctor Yang bowed.

"Su Deyuan, go check."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The Queen has arrived." At this moment, the Queen, who heard the news, hurried over.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

"See the Queen."

Lu Junze waved his hand: “Get up.”

"Why is the queen here?"

"I heard that Concubine Jin was poisoned, so I came to take a look." Shangguan Yan said.

"Yes." Lu Junze looked at Doctor Yang and asked, "How to detoxify?"

"Your Majesty, this poison is not difficult to cure, but the herbs to cure it are very rare."

"We need purple spirit millet, and use its stamens as a medicine to wake Lady Jinpin up."

Purple Spirit Millet grows in thousand-year-old tombs, and you need good luck to pick it.

When Lu Junze heard the medicinal herb purple spirit millet, his eyes flashed, and then returned to normal, and no one noticed.

There was purple spirit millet in the palace, but it was used by someone.

Lu Junze: "I will ask someone to find her. Please take good care of Jinpin during this period."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

About an hour later, Su Deyuan also came back with three people.

Two of these three people are acquaintances of Gu Shijin.

Guo'er and Shunpin's personal maid.

"Your Majesty, according to my investigation, these three people are the most suspicious." Su Deyuan said.

In addition to the two people Gu Shijin knew, there was another one who was a young eunuch in the imperial kitchen.

"Your Majesty, all three of them have touched Concubine Jin's food box."

Lu Junze glanced at the three people, and they were immediately trembling with fear.

"Your Majesty," Shunpin's personal maid was the first to lose her temper and pointed at the young eunuch and said, "Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes that young eunuch put something into Jinpin's food box."

The young eunuch looked up at her, not understanding why she wanted to slander him. He explained anxiously, "Your Majesty, I didn't. I just opened the food box to check if the food inside was put in the wrong place."

This procedure is necessary. If they put the wrong things in the bags for these young masters, they will get angry and they will be in big trouble.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent."

Lu Junze ignored him and looked at Shunpin's maid and said, "Then why did you open Jinpin's food box?"

"These two are servants of the imperial kitchen," Lu Junze pointed at the other two people kneeling, "Then why did you open Jinpin's food box?"

Shunpin's maid was panicked for a moment, and explained: "I went to the imperial kitchen before Eunuch Lin, but Eunuch Lin got the food first, so I... I just wanted to see what was inside."

"Your Majesty, you must believe me. I did not poison you."

Lu Junze did not continue to ask, but looked at Guo'er again.

Before Lu Junze could ask, Guo'er explained herself: "Your Majesty, I opened the food box and the chef asked me to put some chopped green onions in it."

If chopped green onions are left for too long, the taste will be affected, so the imperial kitchen only adds them when they are about to be taken away.
