Chapter 187

At this time, Concubine Xue also felt embarrassed. She smiled, looked around, and suddenly pointed to the large incense burner of Xuande in the middle of the house and asked, "When did the spices be put on here again? Didn't the Queen tell me the last time? Isn't your Majesty's dragon body now not suitable for burning incense? Besides, even if you burn incense, you should choose a lighter flavor. The spice smells so strong, no wonder Leping, the little girl, was so fumigated that she sneezes!"

After hearing Concubine Xue's words, the emperor frowned and asked, "How did you know that Leping was smoked by this spice? Not for other reasons?"

Concubine Xue hugged Leping and replied, "Your Majesty, this time I am far away from the incense burner, Leping will not sneeze." Then she hugged Leping and became closer to the incense burner. Sure enough, as soon as she approached the incense burner, Leping began to sneeze again.

Now, without the emperor's order, Eunuch Deyu hurriedly ran over to extinguish the spices in the incense burner. Several imperial physicians went over to check the incense ash. After a moment, they heard Doctor Zhang take the lead in replying: "Your Majesty, I have already discovered the clues."

Without waiting for the emperor's order, Doctor Zhang continued: "Who has added a spice called sage to the ambergris in the incense burner. This spice alone will not be harmful to people. On the contrary, it has the effect of calming the mind and relieving headaches. However, I saw that the emperor's daily life note records that the emperor had eaten fruits and vegetables such as courgettes, red fruits, asparagus, and several snacks such as mung bean cakes and red bean pastry in the past two days. These foods are incompatible with sage. Moreover, the emperor was seriously ill a while ago, and he is still somewhat weak in qi and blood. It is indeed not suitable to use spices such as sage with strong aromas."

After hearing this, the emperor asked calmly: "In your opinion, will the spices here be added inadvertently?"

Zhang Yudian paused and replied, "I should have thoughtful people doing it specifically. The number of sage in this spice is very small. If I hadn't checked it out, I wouldn't see any difference. Moreover, the number of guaroons and other items that Your Majesty has eaten these days is also limited. I dared to guess that the person behind this must have wanted to eat Your Majesty's body a little bit, and did not want to attract the attention of others too early. But I saw the records in the daily record. Your Majesty ate a crocus last night and drank another bowl of bean juice this morning. The beans and crocus are extremely incompatible with sage, which caused the toxicity in the body of the emperor to occur early. Fortunately, these things are now limited in toxicity, and most of them have been excreted after vomiting blood. Now, just take a few more detoxification decoctions, it will be great."

When the emperor heard that he was not seriously injured, he didn't feel happy at all. He waved his hand and said, "Doctors, please step down first."

After the imperial physician withdrew, the emperor asked slowly, "Who asked the incense burner to light?"

Eunuch Deyu quickly knelt down and said, "It's Empress Mei. When she came to serve the car last time, she said that Your Majesty was not sleeping soundly, so she asked someone to take some spices and light them up. The slave originally wanted to stop him, but after seeing the spices, His Majesty slept more peacefully. Later, I also felt that the fragrance was comfortable, so I didn't stop him anymore. I really never thought that this spice would be tampered with. This is because the slave dereliction of duty, so I asked Your Majesty to punish him."

The emperor looked at the other eunuchs and asked, "What you, Chief Deyu, said is the fact?"

At this time, the eunuchs in the Ganqing Hall had already knelt all over the floor. They didn't dare to say anything. Only one eunuch replied boldly: "I also remember that the matter was told by Concubine Mei that day."

Hearing someone's response, the other eunuchs also agreed.

"Mei?" Emperor Longde murmured, suddenly turned his head to look at Concubine Xue and Concubine Li Jie and asked, "What do you think about this?"

Concubine Li had already brought her daughter back from Concubine Xue. At this moment, she held her daughter silently. However, Concubine Xue suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is related to the previous dynasty. I shouldn't have talked too much. But now even the spices in His Majesty's bedroom have been mixed in. I am really worried. I am sorry that I said something disrespectful to Sister Mei. Since the Empress had issued an oral order that day, why did Sister Mei refuse to obey? Do you believe that you have more knowledge than the Empress or not, or do you have not taken the words of the Empress, the lord of the harem? Today, after hearing what the Imperial Doctor said, I suddenly remembered something again, and I don't know whether to say it or not?"

The emperor looked straight at Concubine Xia Xue: "If you have something to say, don't hesitate."

After hearing what the emperor said, Concubine Xue gritted her teeth and replied: "The Empress has been sick for many days and has not improved. I am very concerned about it. Now that I think about it carefully, the Empress has always been healthy and has never heard of any stubborn diseases before. On that day, the Empress has not fallen ill without taking care of His Majesty day and night. Why did she easily get seriously ill? Think about it again, wasn't the Empress's time when she got sick after Duke Yue returned to the palace? Moreover, the Emperor had already recovered, why did the disease recur later? Now that I think about it carefully, I just feel extremely frightened!"

After she finished speaking, the emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you finished speaking?" Xue Fei nodded, "I'm done."

When the emperor saw her, he threw a teacup on the kang table and said hard: "Concubine Xue, you are so brave. How dare you slander Mei? Are you afraid that she will get favor again and then climb onto you?"

The teacup was almost thrown out by Empress Xue's ears. She was also afraid, but she knew that she had no way out at this moment.

With a "bang", she kowtowed suddenly and said, "Everything I said is true, and I dare not deceive the emperor."

Concubine Xue frightened both princesses very much. Le Yue became a little older. Seeing that her father was unhappy, she didn't dare to cry, so she ran to her mother's side and knelt together. However, Leping didn't know at least. She had never seen her father look so scary, and she burst into tears.

Concubine Li was sweating profusely and couldn't help but coax the child. Hearing the cry of her little daughter, the emperor realized that she had been a little too much. He glanced at Concubine Xue: "Xue, do you dare to say these words in front of Mei and Duke Yue?"

Concubine Xue calmly replied: "Since I dare to say it, I will naturally dare to confront you in person. If I really misunderstand it, I will personally kowtow to Sister Mei and Duke Yue and his son."

The emperor waved his hand, and then an eunuch went to summon Mei.

At this moment, Concubine Xue was actually in a state of great trouble. Her son was still young, and she had no intention of falling into the whirlpool of fighting for the throne. However, she had a deep grudge with the Mei family and her son. If the mother and son really gained power, she and her children would be in danger in this palace. The Empress treated her well, and now she had some orders, and Xue family could not resist it.

On the other hand, Xue also firmly believed in his heart that the Queen, who has never been exposed to the scene, would have been the case if she did not take action. Once she took action, Mei would definitely not be able to avoid it.

In the north of the capital, Mu Yun was as nervous as Concubine Xue. When Shuhua came back, in addition to bringing Shan Jingyan's words, she also brought back a poem about autumn that she wrote. The poem itself is nothing, the key is that there is a comment from the Princess of Ming, which has only two lines of poetry, "If life is just like the first meeting, why does the autumn wind make a sad painting fan?"

Don’t be too familiar with these two lines of poetry? As long as you live in modern times, even if you don’t know Nalan Xingde, you may have heard his poem “Mulan Ci”.

Mu Yun held back the trembling in his heart and pretended to be innocent and asked, "How could Princess Ming be in Prince Jin's Mansion? Did she say what these seven words mean?"

When Shuhua heard her aunt ask her, she replied embarrassedly: "The Princess Ming went to invite Princess Jin to come to the palace to pay tribute to the Queen. Seeing that Sister Tian and I were writing poems, she took a look and commented a few words. Then the Queen said that my poem was very spiritual and had a good artistic conception. So she commented on these words for me."

He smiled and said, "The Princess Ming is worthy of being from a scholarly family, and this comment is also used differently." Then he smiled and said, "Your poem is indeed well written, so I will give this to my aunt?"

Shuhua smiled shyly: "If your aunt likes, just keep it. I have copied it down."

After Shuhua said that, seeing that there were still a bunch of cards on the table in front of Muyun, she stood up and smiled and said, "I'm not disturbing my aunt here, go back and change my clothes first."

Even though Mu Yun's heart was turbulent, his face was still as calm as usual. He told him lightly: "Go, don't be afraid, just take a good rest and get up."

After Shuhua left, Mu Yun sprinkled some of his rouge powder on a corner of the paper, and then blew it gently. Sure enough, a string of extremely small Chinese pinyin appeared on it, which was spelled out: Wisteria seeds.

Wisteria, also known as vines. Because of its cold resistance and easy planting, it is often full of flowers and trees in bloom, and it is fragrant and is deeply loved by everyone. Whether it is in the deep courtyards of wealthy families or the courtyard houses of poor people, these flowers and trees are very common. When wisteria is in full bloom, some ordinary people also like to pick petals to make vine cakes, wisteria cakes, wisteria porridge and other foods.

However, few people know that this beautiful and fragrant flower has a small poison all over the body. If eaten improperly, it can easily cause symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. Especially after the wisteria flowers wither, the string of pods on the tree are the most poisonous place in the whole body of the wisteria. If you accidentally eat it accidentally, it may even cause shock and death.

Not to mention the people here, even in modern times with developed information, there are not many people who know that wisteria is poisonous. If she hadn't seen a news by chance in her previous life, Mu Yun wouldn't know about it. How could the Uncle Princess want this thing? And even though she only realized that Princess Ming was also a time traveler, Mu Yun had never noticed it when she was in daily life.

I just don’t know what she was doing in her previous life, but she would never want to plant wisteria trees like this. What did she want to do if she wanted this?

In short, it will definitely not be a good thing. Should I get into this muddy water? Even if I travel through my fellow countrymen, I don’t seem to have to help me, and I see that the other party wants to take things to deal with others. If she helps, she will probably become an accomplice to the Princess Xu of Ming Dynasty? After she travels through time, she has never taken the initiative to harm others. In the end, her education and experience in her previous life, coupled with the idea of ​​a rule of law society, still deeply influenced her.

The poem notes left by Shuhua were still placed on the table, but the originally beautiful flower notes were now emitting evil light in Muyun's eyes, tempting her to commit crimes.

Mu Yun didn't want to pay attention to the line of pinyin above, she wanted to pretend that she didn't see it. But she thought that the paper was brought out under Shan Jingyan's nose. Could it be that Shan Jingyan's tacit approval? When she thought about Shuhua's return to say, the emperor seemed to be sick again.

Could it be that Shan Jingyan wants to...

Mu Yun didn't dare to think about it anymore. She knew that if Shan Jingyan had acquiesced to this matter, no matter whether Princess Ming was her time traveling with her hometown or not, she would have to give her wisteria seeds.

Thinking of this, Mu Yun called Yueping in and asked, "Who sent Miss Shuhua back just now? Has the person left?"

Yue Ping replied: "It's Xiao Yang's mother next to Princess Jin. It's just the time to dinner, so I took the initiative to prepare a lunch table, and my mother Qi is there to accompany me."

This little Yang's mother is Yang's sister next to Shan Jingyan, and she also married Shan Jingyan to the Jinwang Mansion. Needless to say, she is naturally Shan Jingyan's confidant.

At this time, Mu Yun had already achieved it. She ordered: "My mother Xiao Yang is rarely coming back to our house. You can add a few more vegetables to her in the kitchen. Also, pick some of the fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and shrimps that we always come to our farm for a while and let Xiao Yang mother take back to Princess Jin. Let the empress taste the fresh things in our house."

After Yue Ping got the order, she went down and prepared immediately.
