My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne
Chapter 42 Why do you still want to hurt me?
Murong Che's tone became even worse. "Why don't you go and call the imperial physician? Why do you come to Lingyun Palace to see me?"
Wang Defa could tell the emperor's tone was not good, so he replied cautiously, "I have already sent for the imperial physician, but I heard that Concubine Song was not in good condition, so I came to ask for your Majesty."
Murong Che's face was still a little pale, but he had already stood up from the bed, "Then I will go and take a look."
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Xue Youli, "You can go too."
"I obey your command."
Fainting can be a serious matter or a minor one. Since Wang Defa said that Song Jingsi's condition is not good, don't wait for the imperial physician to arrive, because she will be dead.
After all, Lingyun Palace is much closer to her Wangyuexuan than the Imperial Hospital.
Xue Youli immediately asked Banxia to come in and help her with her makeup and hair, and then used the Book of Heavenly Secrets to check on Song Jingsi's condition, and she also had an idea of the reason for her fainting.
Before leaving, she whispered a few words to Banxia, then followed Murong Che out of Lingyun Palace.
When they arrived at Wangyuexuan, Han Qiu saw Murong Che and knelt down at his feet. "Your Majesty, please save my mistress! She just vomited blood!"
The concubines standing in front of the couch saw the handsome and majestic man in front of them and knelt down in greeting, "Your Majesty!"
Murong Che walked directly to the bed, glanced at the pale-faced Song Jingsi, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened to Song Zhaoyi?"
Tonight, several new concubines came to visit Song Jingsi and have tea. In fact, they came to get close to her.
Meng Cairen, who had no backing before, offended Xue Youli and was sentenced to death on the spot by the emperor.
Song Jingqian cheated in the imperial examination and put the blame on Xue Youli's second brother, but the emperor did not sentence him to death. This shows how important the Song family is in the emperor's heart.
They took the initiative to make friends with Song Jingsi in the hope that if they encountered any problems in the future, someone would be able to plead for them in front of the emperor.
Unexpectedly, before they had even taken a few sips of tea, Song Jingsi suddenly collapsed.
But they were scared.
At this time, seeing Murong Che, who arrived earlier than the imperial physician, was intimidated by the powerful aura surrounding the man and was too nervous to say a word.
It was Consort Fang, the highest-ranking among the group, who stepped forward and explained what had happened. "Your Majesty, I and a few of my sisters were drinking tea with Consort Song. Before we had even started chatting, she suddenly collapsed. Seeing her pale face and purple lips, I immediately sent for the imperial physician."
Murong Che pondered for a moment, then glanced at Xue Youli. "Mrs. Xue is well-versed in medical books. Come over and take a look at her first."
Upon hearing this, the concubines standing in front of the couch all looked at Xue Youli at the same time.
She wore a long dress embroidered with hibiscus tonight, with a hibiscus hairpin embellished with pearls and jade inserted diagonally between her low-hanging bun. She had a beautiful face, and even with only light makeup, she was still incredibly beautiful.
"My medical skills are limited, so I can only try my best." Xue Youli said modestly, but her hands were not vague at all. After taking Song Jingsi's pulse, she immediately said, "Song Zhaoyi has been poisoned."
After these words were spoken, the palace fell silent for a moment, and the concubines all looked dissatisfied and incredulous.
"Song Zhaoyi was clearly fine just now, how could she be poisoned?"
"Yes, we just drank the same tea and ate the same snacks. Where did this poison come from?"
"Could it be that one of us has a grudge against Song Zhaoyi and is secretly plotting against her?"
"Don't talk nonsense. We didn't even know Song Zhaoyi before we entered the palace. How could we have become enemies with her?"
While they were still suspicious of each other, Xue Youli had already induced vomiting in Song Zhaoyi and saved her.
At this time, Doctor Cheng finally arrived with a medicine box.
Xue Youli recounted Song Jingsi's condition to Imperial Physician Cheng, who stepped forward to examine her and reported to Murong Che, "Your Majesty, thanks to Concubine Xue's timely assistance, Concubine Song is out of danger. Fortunately, the poison she was poisoned with was not very potent. I will prescribe a prescription to remove the poison, and with careful nursing in a few days, she will recover."
Murong Che nodded slightly and immediately ordered, "Wang Defa, immediately investigate the matter of Concubine Song's poisoning! Imperial Physician Cheng, please check on the others to see if any of them have been poisoned."
The concubines present drank the same pot of tea and ate the same snacks as Concubine Song, but after Imperial Physician Cheng took their pulses, he found that there was nothing wrong with their bodies. "Your Majesty, there are no signs of poisoning among the ladies."
This is strange, where did the poison in Song Zhaoyi come from?
Just when everyone was puzzled, they had already checked and found that there was residual poison on the wall of Song Jingsi's teacup.
The palace maid responsible for preparing tea and snacks was brought over immediately.
Murong Che looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground and asked coldly, "Why did you poison me?"
The palace maid didn't say anything, but instead took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and ran into the wall, trying to commit suicide.
Wang Defa was quick-witted and quick-handed. He kicked the palace maid over and ordered his men to arrest her.
"Take her away and interrogate her strictly!"
Soon the palace maid's mouth was pried open, and she confessed that she had met privately with Xiao Anzi from Lingyun Palace three days ago, and that the poison she used to harm Song Zhaoyi was given to her by Xiao Anzi.
So, Xiao Anzi was brought from Lingyun Palace.
He knelt before Murong Che and loudly pleaded for his innocence, "I am innocent! This maid is new. She said she had only been in the palace for a short time and didn't know the way. I was just being kind and pointing her the way! Your Majesty, please understand!"
The maid was beaten and covered in wounds. She bit Xiao Anzi to death and said, "When you gave me the poison, you also gave me a pair of gold bracelets and asked me to poison Concubine Song. You also said you would give me another five hundred taels after I was done!"
"You're talking nonsense! It's complete nonsense!" Xiao Anzi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He looked up at Xue Youli who was standing not far away, "Master, you have to believe me! I really didn't give her poison!"
The poison in Song Jingsi's body had almost been eliminated. She was supported by Han Qiu and watched Murong Che interrogate Xiao Anzi.
After hearing what Xiao Anzi said, she covered her mouth and looked at Xue Youli in shock, "Lady Xue, even though my eldest brother framed your second brother, he has already been punished. Why do you still want to harm me?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately reacted.
Previously, Xue Youli's second brother was framed by Song Jingqian and imprisoned. He was then lynched by the jailer bribed by Song Jingqian and was beaten all over his body.
Xue Youli must have wanted to vent her second brother's anger, so she bribed the palace maids of Wangyuexuan to poison Song Jingsi.
Xue Youli faced everyone's suspicious gazes without panicking, but looked at Murong Che with a look of grievance, "Your Majesty, this palace maid is slandering me with lies. Please help me."
Song Jingsi felt even more aggrieved than she, and cried out to Murong Che, "Your Majesty, my brother has been exiled thousands of miles away, and Concubine Xue's second brother is now a successful scholar who has won the imperial examination. Yet she still wants to murder me. Please help me!"
Xue Youli looked at her calmly, "Song Zhaoyi, if you're like this, it must be me who harmed you. I guess you already have irrefutable evidence that I poisoned you, right?"
Song Jingsi didn't answer her. Instead, she kowtowed deeply to Murong Che. "Madam Xue has the intention of harming me. If she fails once, she will definitely do it a second time! Therefore, she must have some remaining poison hidden in her palace! I beg His Majesty to order a search of Shuiyuexuan!"
Since she set the trap with her own body, there is no chance for Xue Youli to turn the tables!
Xue Youli must die tonight!
