This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 134: We all share the blame

"Doctor, can you tell me, after babies take this cassava flour, do they have other symptoms besides fever?" Concubine Hua felt distressed when she saw Wen Yi's red face due to fever. She had never expected that Wen Yi would have to suffer this in this life.

"In reply to your Majesty, babies have fragile intestines, so eating cassava flour will cause them to vomit continuously, and it will also make it difficult for the food in their stomachs to digest, which will lead to food stagnation and cause high fever."

"But Wen Yi hasn't vomited milk from last night to tonight, and Wen Yi's urination and defecation are normal every day. How can there be food accumulation?!" After Hua Fei asked the question, Concubine Jing finally calmed down and asked sternly.

The leading imperial physician was Zhang Mi.

Zhang Mi looked nervous for a moment and couldn't find the words to explain his diagnosis.

"The imperial physician is useless~" The emperor glanced at Zhang Mi. He was the chief physician when the empress dowager was poisoned last time.

"I deserve to die. But I did find that the princess has the tendency to eat indiscriminately." Zhang Mi said gritting his teeth.

"Hmph, you just diagnosed the patient with an indiscriminate diet and you said it was the fault of cassava flour. Fortunately, the emperor has a clear eye and a clear mind today, otherwise he would have been deceived by you quack doctors." Concubine Hua deliberately took a step closer to the emperor to show her reliance on him. The emperor believed Concubine Hua a little more.

"Since the imperial physician said that the princess has a tendency to eat indiscriminately, then we should take out all the food the princess has eaten in the past three days and examine it one by one. This should also include the food eaten by the wet nurse who served the princess." Zhen Huan had been watching for a long time and spoke at the right time.

"Just do as Lady Wan says." said the emperor.

The two wet nurses who served Wen Yi were also summoned into the hall. They stood there obediently, not daring to make a sound.

The table in front of her was filled with food that the wet nurse had eaten in the past three days, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Just when everyone was at a loss, An Lingrong noticed that the wet nurse standing on the left had a vague look in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, why don't you check the rooms of these two wet nurses? Maybe they stole something and didn't put it on the table."

"An Changzai is really petty. There are all kinds of delicious food in this palace. Why does she have to hide and eat secretly?" Lipin rolled her eyes at An Lingrong. Now that the Queen is secretly cultivating An Lingrong, don't think she doesn't know.

"Yes, I am overly cautious, but it is better to be more careful than to wrongly accuse others." An Lingrong's eyes were immediately filled with tears and she was about to cry, looking like a little bird, very lovable.

Who doesn’t know how to make tea?

"An Changzai is also thinking about Wen Yi. Why do you have to say hurtful things to her, Lipin?" The Emperor could no longer tolerate this stupid Lipin.

"Go check."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, I found several bottles of wine in a wet nurse's room." A guard with a sword came in with the wine he had found and reported.

"Whose is this?" Before the emperor's eyes even swept over the wet nurse, the one standing on the left could no longer hold back and knelt on the ground in fear.

“Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life.” The wet nurse prostrated herself on the ground, not daring to look up.

"It was you, this naughty slave, who harmed Wen Yi!" the queen finally spoke.

"Drag him away and beat him to death." The emperor said coldly.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty. I still want to know why there is cassava flour in the rice wine dumpling soup that I gave to Wen Yi. I am afraid it has something to do with this wet nurse. I must clear my name. There is cassava flour in all the palaces. I cannot be the only one to be accused."

Concubine Hua grabbed the emperor's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

Wen Yi: Empress Hua, my son is almost burnt to death. Shouldn't you cool him down first?

Empress Hua: My dear boy, hold on a little longer. If you don’t find out who is trying to kill you, you’ll lose your life.

Concubine Li didn't dare to say a word. She clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her heart beating like thunder.

"Your Majesty, please spare me. I was confused for a moment and drank a few more cups. When the princess had a fever, I was scared. I saw some tapioca flour in the kitchen and sprinkled some into the bowl of fermented rice dumplings. I know I was wrong, please spare me!"

"Your Majesty, the matter is clear and the cause of the disease has been found. We should treat Wen Yi first." The Queen advised gently.

"That's it."

The emperor handed Wen Yi to Concubine Hua, got off the couch and walked out.

The wet nurse who drank alcohol was naturally beaten to death.

After this incident, Concubine Jing became more careful with the people in the palace.

The imperial physician found the cause of the disease and immediately prescribed the right medicine for Wen Yi. He also asked the palace maids to wipe his whole body with a cold towel to reduce his temperature and fever. By the afternoon, Wen Yi had already improved.

As for Concubine Li, the wet nurse did not reveal anything related to Concubine Li before she was beaten to death.

However, Concubine Hua knew with just a little effort that this matter was definitely related to Concubine Li.

As for whether the Queen was involved, Concubine Hua didn't dare to judge for the time being.

Concubine Hua was now only thankful for her own prudence. When she saw Lingzhi bringing back the cassava flour yesterday, she asked the imperial kitchen to send a portion to each palace.

Hua Fei was afraid that something might go wrong because of cassava flour in this life, so she decided that everyone should share the blame.

God helps Concubine Hua. Because of her diet, Concubine Li hasn't touched rice or flour for a long time, so tapioca flour was not delivered to her palace. Now that it has been discovered, it seems that Concubine Li was the one who wanted to keep herself out of trouble.

But Hua Fei couldn't understand why Concubine Li attacked Wen Yi.

The emperor ordered the wet nurse who secretly drank alcohol to be caned, and the punishment was so quick that Zhou Ninghai had no time to ask any further questions.

Well, fortunately Wen Yi was safe and sound. This child has a good life in both his next and next lives.

When Concubine Cao was pregnant with Wen Yi, it was a critical period for the emperor's nine sons to compete for the throne. The emperor had no time to care about Concubine Cao. Concubine Cao had a difficult delivery and the fetus was in an abnormal position. But it was only with the help of the imperial physician who tried his best to save the child.

After dealing with a misunderstanding, Lipin was too careless that day and kept accusing Hua Fei of murdering Wen Yi, so she was not favored by the emperor anymore.

Therefore, before leaving the Old Summer Palace, the emperor only favored Zhen Huan.

After this incident, Concubine Hua thought about it over and over for a long time, but could not figure out why Concubine Li did it.

It was not until Wei Lin came to check Ping An's pulse that day that Hua Fei suddenly realized what was going on. Wei Lin mentioned that Li Bin had added an extra bowl of pregnancy medicine to her drink.
