Something wrong with your head?If their group died, who would benefit the most? This person was obviously the enemy. At this moment, the Third Prince appeared in their minds.
The emperor"s expression was extremely ugly as he slapped the table. "This is really my good son. Alright, Princess Xiao, let"s go. Go to the banquet to explain this matter."
Qian Jiujiu nodded, and pushed Mu Yexiao, the Emperor and the others over, and very quickly they arrived at the imperial flower garden.
Because two hours had already pa.s.sed, the ministers in the imperial garden had no idea what was going on, so they were all somewhat anxious. At that moment, they heard the eunuch speak.
"The emperor arrives, the empress arrives!"
A group of people walked in, the emperor"s face was ugly, all the ministers were perturbed, could it be that Qing Guifei did not manage to save them? However, after the Emperor sat down, he said something to rea.s.sure the ministers.
"Qing Guifei is fine now, he"s just resting in his own palace."
All the ministers knew who the person that the emperor was most fond of in the harem was. Other than Qing Guifei, there was no one else.
If it was said that the power the Consort Xian had in the harem relied on her family"s influence, then Qing Guifei had looked up to the emperor to support her in everything he had done in the harem.
And after so many years, no matter how many beautiful women came from the palace, no one"s love could compare to Qing Guifei"s. This was what everyone used to see as the emperor"s regard of Qing Guifei.
Now that they heard that Qing Guifei was fine, a large portion of the ministers heaved a sigh of relief, while some of them were from the Third Prince"s side.
Then it would be a disappointment, didn"t the Xiao Prince rely on Qing Guifei to be loved by the Emperor all these years! If Qing Guifei went there this time, it would definitely be a good thing for them.
The Emperor did not look at the expressions of these officials and only glanced at Qian Jiujiu, as well as the imperial physicians. "Princess Xiao, can you explain what the poison on the table is?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at the crab on the emperor"s table, then bowed: "Reporting to royal father, this poison, is the crab on the table."
When the various ministers heard Qian Jiujiu"s words, they all looked at the crab on the table in terror. At this moment, a young eunuch, who had been standing by the side of the emperor, immediately shrieked.
"Imperial Concubine merely took a bite of the crab before spitting out blood."
The emperor glanced at the eunuch but didn"t say anything. Everyone trusted him even more, but those imperial physicians were in a bad mood. One of them with a thorn in his side stepped forward.
"That"s impossible. If this crab was poisoned, how could it have brought it up?" We just checked for a long time, and this crab is also not poisonous. "
With one person leading the way, the other imperial physicians began to whisper amongst themselves. Another imperial physician started to make examples as well, "That"s right, Your Majesty. If there"s poison in the crab, then how come so many people ate it tonight?"
Qian Jiujiu glanced at the two imperial physicians and couldn"t help but lower her eyes. "This w.a.n.gfei hasn"t finished speaking, so why are all the imperial physicians so anxious?"
"Naturally, there is no poison when eating this crab alone. However, when it is mixed with certain medicinal ingredients, it becomes extremely poisonous. Imperial Physician Mu, you are a Academic adjudication of the Imperial Hospital, so this w.a.n.gfei will ask you."
"How long will the medicinal strength of the red ginseng last in the body?"
Imperial Physician Mu was stunned for a moment. He didn"t think that Qian Jiujiu would actually ask him about it, but he still replied honestly, "Reporting to w.a.n.gfei, if this red ginseng has stronger medicinal properties."
"Being able to remain in a person"s body for a week!"
Speaking to this point, Imperial Physician Mu seemed to have thought of something and looked at Qian Jiujiu. "Royal Consort"s meaning is, Qing Guifei had taken a red ginseng a few days ago."
"If that"s the case, then that crab is extremely poisonous to the Empress."
Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes, "So even Lord Academic adjudication knows about it. A red ginseng stewed duck and they clashed head on with crabs.
"Imperial Concubine has already eaten the Red Ginseng Braised Duck for a few days already, so she has given this w.a.n.gfei the chance to heal him. When the Empress Qing Guifei was eating the stewed duck soup made from red ginseng. "
"This w.a.n.gfei used the Xiao Prince and Empress Huang together. The poisoner here has a ruthless heart."
As soon as everyone heard these words, their hearts began to tremble before turning to look at the third prince. At this moment, the third prince was the one who was the most shocked.
What surprised him was that Qian Jiujiu knew of such a meticulous plan, and what was even more shocking was that Qian Jiujiu had such a high level of medical skills.
Even now, he still did not know how Mu Yexiao was good, so he must be a pig. Mu Yexiao was definitely cured by Qian Jiujiu, and the Third Prince was currently looking at Qian Jiujiu on the stage.
Under the questioning gaze of so many imperial physicians, that woman who remained indifferent was so beautiful, so beautiful that no one present could compare to her.
When he thought about it, such a woman was one of a kind in the world, and it wasn"t easy to find one. He had actually given one to his enemy personally.
Thinking of this, the Third Prince couldn"t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Unfortunately, he didn"t dare to spit it out. If he did, people would suspect him.
The looks in those officials" eyes were already suspecting that the poison had been administered by him. If he spat out blood at this moment, it was very likely that he would be misunderstood. The reason was because the poison wasn"t effective.
As a result, if the condescending person vomited blood, the day of his death would come. Thinking about that, he did not care about the stench of blood in his mouth, as he swallowed the blood, his eyes remained unmoving as he stared at Qian Jiujiu.
Qian Jiujiu naturally felt Mu Yesheng"s gaze as well, but so what?!
Actually, there were a lot of times where Qian Jiujiu had been thinking about whether or not she should just kill Mu Yesheng. Maybe she"ll be honest.
Ignoring Mu Yexiao"s disapproval, Qian Jiujiu would not do something so hateful. She snorted, ignoring Mu Yesheng"s look, causing all the imperial physicians to lower their heads.
Feeling his face burning, Qian Jiujiu coughed twice. Looking at the Emperor"s expression towards the imperial physicians, Qian Jiujiu felt that he should say something.
"Imperial Father, you shouldn"t blame the imperial physicians. They also don"t know what you ate a few days ago, Imperial Father and Mother, so who would have thought that someone would use the logic of food as a counterweight to harm others!"
All of the imperial physicians looked at Qian Jiujiu as if they were very surprised that she would actually plead for them. The emperor thought about it and his reasoning made sense, "We didn"t plan to blame them either."
"However, I"m afraid it will be difficult to catch the murderer if this happens."
Qian Jiujiu raised her eyebrows, "How could that be? The royal father"s and mother"s Concubine Mother"s menu is a secret, not to mention that it was made in the Concubine Mother"s kitchen.
The emperor"s eyes instantly lit up, and he looked at Mu Yexiao. "I"ll leave the matter of the Xiao Prince to you to investigate."
"Princess Xiao, it"s all thanks to you tonight. As long as you say it, we will satisfy whatever you want."
Qian Jiujiu"s eyes lit up. She knew that this was her chance, but she still carefully looked at the emperor. "Is royal father"s words true?"
The emperor looked at Qian Jiujiu with an ugly expression. "You foolish child, I am the Son of Heaven, so naturally, my words are as good as gold."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she naturally immediately knelt down and looked at the emperor. "Then royal father, your daughter-in-law does indeed have a request for you."
"My daughter-in-law"s father has an aunt called Aunt Wan. She saved my daughter-in-law"s life before. My daughter-in-law always remembers how to repay her."
"Therefore, my daughter-in-law wishes to leave this opportunity to the Aunt Wan as a repayment for saving her life, I request royal father"s permission!"
All of the officials heard this and felt extremely regretful. It was just an aunt, they could just carelessly send her off, but she actually used such a good opportunity to exchange. Was this Princess Xiao r.e.t.a.r.ded?
Do you know how rare such an opportunity is? Even if they had to beg for his life, the emperor would probably agree to it. Thinking of this, he couldn"t help but look at Qian Shang Shu.
Qian Shang Shu felt his face burning, but he didn"t dare say anything. Furthermore, he was extremely uneasy in his heart, as he did not know what this Qian Jiujiu wanted to do.
Seeing the emperor"s reaction, without even saying a word, Qian Shang Shu started to pray in his heart, the emperor definitely cannot agree to such an impolite request.
Just as the ministers thought that the emperor was about to be angered too, the emperor started laughing loudly, looking at Qian Jiujiu.
"The grace of saving a life should be repaid with a gush of spring water, the truth of the Princess Xiao is true, and the most filial and filial of people, we will grant your wish. Men, go to"s Aunt Wan and enter the palace. "
Normally, if an aunt entered the palace, that would be a blessing in disguise, and this time she was even awarded a reward. Everyone could not help but sigh, this Aunt Wan"s life was truly good.
When everyone was discussing the Aunt Wan, they noticed that the expressions of the Qian Shang Shu and her were not very good. An aunt had saved the life of the direct daughter.
There must be a big story behind this, and some of the ministers were even congratulating the Qian Shang Shu: "Qian Shang Shu, congratulations, I"m afraid your family is going to have another n.o.ble person coming out."
Hearing that, Qian Shang Shu"s heart was bleeding, but he still had a smiling expression on his face. Little did he know, his current expression was even uglier than his mother"s!
When the families of the other ministers saw the look on Madame Qian"s face, most of them were gloating, and there were not many opportunities for them to make fun of Madam Shang Shu like this.
The Mrs. Chung who had just formed an enmity naturally would not let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury. "This w.a.n.gfei is really interesting. I don"t care about my own mother."
"He"s actually taking care of an aunt of his house. Seems like this Sir Qian"s backyard is extremely harmonious."
Mrs. Chung"s words were like a slap on her face. What was even more infuriating was that the other ministers and wives actually started to echo him.
"Yeah, this Qian Shang Shu is truly worthy of being called a capable person. Even the backyard is so beautiful."
