The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.
Chapter 283: Concubine Zhao, please don’t let me down
Two quarters of an hour later.
In the partitioned room, the medical maids and nurses finished treating Zhishu's miscarriage, and the palace maids finished cleaning and tidying up. Fei Wan helped Zhishu lie down again. Both of them had stopped sobbing and just wiped their tears quietly.
Concubine Shun stepped forward and softly comforted her, "Sister, please accept my condolences. Take care of yourself first. Once you are well, you can do whatever you want."
It implies that Zhishu should conserve her spirit and wait for revenge.
Fei Wan and Zhi Shu naturally thanked him in a low voice.
When the two looked at each other with their backs to Concubine Shun, there was no sadness in their eyes, but only sharp calculations.
Zhishu's pregnancy was fake, and her miscarriage was naturally fake too. It was all thanks to Chu Qingmu's medication to maintain the illusion. Even her pulse and breathing could be faked to fool the other doctors.
Today, as soon as I took the blood-activating and collateral-unblocking medicine, the menstrual blood that had been stagnant for a long time was all discharged. It was very horrifying and just like a miscarriage.
In short, the pregnancy is still early, so it can be mistaken for real.
The imperial physician on duty with Chu Qingmu could not diagnose anything, and even the judge from the Academy of Literature came in, with the same conclusion: miscarriage without a doubt.
Now that everyone is here, there is no turning back.
Just move things forward slowly!
Give Concubine Yue a little sweetness, and given her disgust for the Empress Dowager and her desire to distance herself from the situation, she will definitely propose an investigation into the Empress Dowager.
This caused the rift between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to deepen.
This is just the first step...
"Your Majesty, the inspection is complete."
Cao Bin returned.
He reported that he had checked everything Zhishu had eaten today, including any backups and leftovers.
The emperor frowned calmly, "No need to elaborate. Just tell me, what's wrong with it?"
Cao Bin bowed and spoke cautiously, "Your Majesty... everything is fine... including the medicinal food given by Concubine Yue, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet sent by the kitchen, and the osmanthus yogurt from the Empress Dowager's palace. Nothing in them is harmful to the cold."
Concubine Yue pressed the issue, "Were there any leftovers after they were eaten? Perhaps that's where the problem lies!"
Aunt Ruochu explained softly, "During Miss Ying's pregnancy, all her food was backed up and not thrown away until three days later. This was so she could check on it at any time, so there was no food left after being eaten up."
This is strange!
At this time, the palace maid reported that Concubine Qing had arrived.
Behind Concubine Qing was the Wenyuan judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Imperial Concubine Qing had not attended the palace banquet today. She walked in slowly with her maid, bowed, and explained:
"I heard that Ying Ronghua was in trouble. I thought the Imperial Physician on duty was young, and if there was any uncertainty, it would be better for the Wenyuan Judge to be present. So I ordered someone to use the assistant's golden medal to open the palace gates and summon the Wenyuan Judge to the palace. Execute first and report later. Your Majesty, please punish me."
After just a few words, he was already out of breath and looked exhausted.
The emperor offered her a seat and said, "You have thought it through. You have done nothing wrong. Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am still suffering from an old illness and will be fine after a few days of rest."
Wenyuanpan quickly asked Chu Qingmu about the situation, entered the inner room with partitions, and examined Zhishu.
"please."
Fei Wan stepped aside and let Wen Yuanpan take Zhishu's pulse.
The judge of the Academy of Literature frowned and carefully examined one hand and then the other.
Observe, smell, ask and feel.
Finally, he stood up and returned to the hall. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, as Doctor Chu and the others have judged, Miss Ying has indeed taken something extremely cold today, which led to her miscarriage. In my humble opinion, this ingredient must be safflower, carefully prepared and slowly roasted with aged vinegar, which can double its blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing effects."
Fei Wan followed behind Doctor Wen and couldn't help but shed tears again when she heard this.
She lifted her skirt and knelt before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please help Sister Ying... I don't know who did this and caused Sister Ying so much pain!"
"Zhao Qing, please get up first. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
Fei Wan said, "Your Majesty, I suddenly realized that safflower has always been a banned drug in the palace and is strictly controlled. If we can't find any problems with the food, why not start with safflower and find out who has taken safflower from the imperial pharmacy recently and where they have been used..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor asked Cao Bin to go to the imperial pharmacy to get the book.
Beside her, the Queen Mother's expression turned ugly again.
Nanny Shixiang took in her mistress's expression and stepped forward to explain, "Your Majesty, at the beginning of the month, Ciyun Palace received two ounces of safflower for the Empress Dowager's foot bath. It's also been prepared with refined vinegar, which can enhance the effect of dispersing blood stasis and activating blood circulation, and can treat the Empress Dowager's leg pain."
The emperor glanced at the empress dowager indifferently.
He said softly, "It's okay."
He waved to Cao Bin to do it quickly.
After a while, the medicine book from the imperial pharmacy was brought over.
There were strict records of the imperial physician's prescriptions and the collection of medicines by the various palaces. After flipping through the thick booklet, it was discovered that in the past half month, or even two months, only the Empress Dowager's palace had received red flowers a few times.
There are no other records.
Concubine Yue looked at the emperor's face, her eyes moving, and stepped forward.
Politely ask the Queen Mother whether she has used up all the red flowers she received, how much she has used, how much is left, and where she puts it.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
His face was as gloomy as water. "Noble Concubine Yue, are you saying that I intend to murder the Emperor's grandson?"
"I dare not, but..."
Before she could finish her words, Zhishu suddenly rushed out from the inner room and fell crying in front of the empress dowager.
"Empress Dowager, could it be you? You are being exceptionally kind to me tonight. Could it be that you are trying to cover up something you did? My poor child..."
She cried until she was breathless.
Pale complexion.
My face turned red from holding it in for a while.
Very pitiful.
The Queen Mother only looked at the Emperor. "Ridiculous! Emperor, what do you say?"
Ever since Concubine Yue suggested inspecting even the refreshments in Ciyu Palace, undercurrents had already begun to build between mother and son.
The emperor's face was grim. Upon hearing this, he only said lightly, "Empress Dowager, please calm down." However, he did not express his trust in the Empress Dowager in public.
The Queen Mother glanced at everyone and was about to speak.
Suddenly, the judge of the Academy of Literature stretched out his nose and sniffed, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Master Sakura, what do you have on you?"
He sniffed and gradually fixed his eyes on a purse on Zhishu's waist.
"This……"
Zhishu lowered her head while crying, opened her purse and took out the contents, "Just some snacks and candied fruits."
Doctor Wen picked up one of the dark red pills and broke it open with a serious expression.
He smelled it, then broke off a small piece and tasted it.
Then he handed the things to Chu Qingmu and another imperial physician.
After the three of them finished their inspection, they exchanged glances. The judge of the Academy of Literature bowed and reported, "Your Majesty, these hawthorn pills contain processed safflower."
Everyone was stunned.
Zhishu even forgot to cry.
With a look of surprise, he said, "Impossible! This is the candied fruit Sister Zhao gave me. I've been eating it for several days and nothing happened!"
The Queen Mother took the lead and gave the order: "Come here, thoroughly investigate Chunxi Palace!"
Then he showed a look of pity towards Fei Wan.
"Zhao Fei, I've been feeling pretty good lately. Please don't let me down..."
