Chapter 303: Poisoned too
Concubine He suddenly fainted, causing chaos in the scene.
Although Wan Lingyi felt that she was just faking it, and she wished she could step forward and kick her to wake her up, but doing so was obviously incompatible with her weak status as a victim.
So I had to endure my anger and watch Concubine He act.
"Hey, what's going on? Could it be that you fainted from fright?" Fang Yun mocked at the side.
She had always been at odds with Concubine He, so it was normal for her to make sarcastic remarks at this time, and no one found it strange.
So Fang Yun smiled and said, "Concubine He fainted, please ask Guo Yuan to see if it was caused by the cold wind."
When she said this, Judge Guo found it difficult to refuse. He glanced at the queen, and after receiving permission, he went to Concubine He to check the situation.
At this time, Concubine Yang whispered from the side.
"Look at Concubine He who looks really bad today. She must be really sick."
Mrs. Yang and Concubine He didn't have much of a relationship in the past. Why are you pretending to be virtuous by saying this now?
No, Yang's virtuousness does not need to be reflected in He Concubine.
Fang Yun looked at Concubine Yang without any trace, and felt a little suspicious in his heart.
It stands to reason that Wan Lingyi is an ally of Concubine Yang, so she should side with Wan Lingyi at this moment and say that Concubine He is pretending to be sick. Such a statement makes it seem like she really thinks that Concubine He is also ill.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jin Bin, who was sitting opposite, sneered.
"Even if I'm really sick, I'm afraid I've done something wrong. I'm afraid that I'm sick, so how could it be such a coincidence that I fainted?"
These two have always been at each other's throats.
In the past, in the East Palace, Concubine Jin was still favored by He Concubine. She was often bullied and did not dare to refute. Now that she has entered the harem, they are in the same concubine position. She has several titles, and Concubine He is not as favored as before. Concubine Jin
It also has a lot of branches.
The queen was sitting on the main seat, listening to a group of people chattering, and felt like she was about to faint.
Immediately he shouted in a deep voice.
"Shut up, I mean, what are you talking about!"
Everyone was reprimanded and then became quiet.
After Guo Yuan ordered He Concubine to diagnose her pulse, her face became ugly.
After a long while, he turned to the queen.
"Empress, concubine He, this is a sign of poisoning!"
One stone stirs up thousands of waves.
It was then that Wan Lingyi was poisoned by the Juezi medicine, and He concubine was also poisoned. In an instant, even the queen's expression changed.
"What on earth is going on to cause such a commotion so early in the morning?"
At this moment, Pei Yao's low and slightly irritable voice came from the door.
Everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted, and saw Pei Yao striding into the Jiaofang Hall before changing out of his court clothes.
It looked like he was rushing over as soon as the morning came.
The queen gave up her position and said, "Your Majesty is here. I am investigating the matter of Wan Lingyi being drugged. I never thought that He Concubine suddenly fainted. Judge Guo looked at her and said she was also poisoned."
"Poisoned too?" Pei Yao lifted up his robe and sat down, frowning, "Didn't you say that Wan Lingyi sued Concubine He for drugging her? Why did Concubine He get into trouble too?"
"I don't know, it's just a sudden incident." The queen said helplessly.
While the empress was talking, Wan Lingyi looked very anxious.
She had no intention of caring about Concubine He's poisoning. What she was afraid of now was that the emperor and queen would not hold him accountable if Concubine He was poisoned.
So he immediately held the handkerchief and walked forward with red eyes.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, I don't know why Concubine He was poisoned at this moment, but I know that it was Concubine He who was given the poison. With the witnesses and evidence available, the Emperor will know it at the first trial!"
Beauty Xie on the side immediately came forward to help.
"That's right. Concubine He fainted. It's better to move to the side hall and ask the imperial doctor for treatment. We can find out the whole story later. But Wan Lingyi's grievance is right in front of us. It's better not to check it out."
Their words were not unreasonable. Pei Yao glanced at the female relatives below and nodded.
He was asked to move Concubine He to the side hall first.
Seeing that the topic was back to topic, Wan Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked someone to pull the young eunuch forward to talk.
"Slave, the slave is in charge of boiling water in the tea room of Yilantang. She is the maid who works next to Empress He Bin in Yong'an Palace. Her name is Yinxiu. She gave the slave money and asked the slave to put these medicines in Wanlingyi's tea and eat them.
inside."
After saying this, the little eunuch burst into tears and kowtowed as hard as he could.
"The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die, but the slave only obeys orders. If the slave refuses, Concubine He will kill the slave and his family outside the palace. The slave is forced!"
Wan Lingyi was beside her, with tears in her eyes as well.
Needless to say, the palace maid he named Yin Xiu was soon arrested.
No torture was needed, and he was so frightened that he immediately told the truth.
Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are there, the matter of Concubine He's murder of Wan Lingyi is firmly established.
Pei Yao's eyes were gloomy and scary, and he was about to convict him, when new news came from the side hall.
It was said that Concubine He had woken up, and Judge Guo had found the source of Concubine He's poisoning.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I have asked Concubine He's personal maid, and she said that Concubine He's dizziness has only occurred in the past two days. Not only is she dizzy, but she also has nightmares at night and cannot sleep peacefully. I believe her symptoms are caused by taking Tianxianzi."
"Fairy? What is that?" Pei Yao asked coldly.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Judge Guo, waiting for the answer.
Judge Guo handed over, "This medicine is easy to prepare and does not require any expensive medicinal materials, but its effectiveness cannot be underestimated. When you first take it, you will feel dizzy and weak, and you will have nightmares, just like a cold syndrome, but over time, it will make you feel dizzy and weak.
His consciousness is in a trance, he is crazy and loves to laugh, as if he is in a misty place, hence the name."
"Such a good name, but I never thought it would be poisonous." Concubine Yang frowned and said, "Where did you find it?"
Judge Guo handed it over and said, "It's in the soothing soup that Concubine He drinks every day."
When these words came out, Fang Yun also looked worried, as if he was a little scared.
"Why did it get mixed into the thing that went into your mouth again? Who is it and what concubine are you trying to harm?"
"Looking at Concubine He's pulse, she only took this medicine in the past two days," Guo Yuan judged.
When he said this, the queen's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and she immediately looked at Pei Yao.
"Your Majesty, there is something fishy about this matter. Wan Lingyi was given Juezi Decoction, and Concubine He was poisoned. These two things happened one after another. Is there any connection?"
"Concubine He has always had a bad temper in the palace. She always offends others. She is afraid that she will harm others and others will harm her. I am really afraid of this." Wan Lingyi said at the side.
Although she now has doubts about Concubine He's poisoning, she wants to have Pei Yao and the Queen convict Concubine He as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams and Concubine He escaping.
So, isn't her suffering and efforts in vain?
When Wan Lingyi said this, Xie Meiren stole a glance at Fang Yun and immediately followed.
"As for who Concubine He has the most bad relations with, I seem to have heard that Concubine He and Concubine Zhao have many conflicts."
"presumptuous!"
As soon as Xie Meiren finished speaking, she heard Pei Yao's stern scolding from above, and she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she tightened her shoulders.
"Who are you? You dare to throw dirty water on Concubine Zhao. It seems that I am too lenient on weekdays, so I allow you all to be lawless and cause me all these troubles all day long!"
Pei Yao had a bad day in the court today, so he was called to Jiaofang Hall the next day. After hearing all this mess, his anger was about to explode.
Fortunately, the beauty was smart enough to jump out and pull and bite Fang Yun, which ignited Pei Yao's anger.
Fang Yun's donation of money in the past two days has really gone into Pei Yao's heart. Now it is the white moonlight in Pei Yao's heart. There is no room for her to defile it.
As soon as he shouted, the hall became quiet.
But within two seconds of silence, Yingxia rushed into the hall with an angry face.
It was a slap to Yinxiu who was kneeling on the ground.
"You bitch, you dare to conspire with outsiders to murder my wife, you are a rip-off!"
