"Mother!"
The second prince shouted.
Then he shouted in panic, "Quickly call the imperial physician, quickly call the imperial physician"
After shouting, he found that the imperial doctors were all there, so he quickly picked up Concubine Heng and put her on the bed. An imperial doctor named Liu came forward to take her pulse.
After taking Xiao Hanyi's pulse, Doctor Liu said to him, "Your Majesty is fine. She just fainted due to the emotional excitement and shock she received just now."
How could he dare to say anything else in front of Xiao Hanyi?
Xiao Hanyi was feeling very anxious and he waved his hands. "Take good care of the imperial concubine."
He turned back and glanced at Queen Wang. "It's not convenient for the Queen to be here. Send her back to the Pepper Room for treatment."
......
When Xiao Conghui received the news and hurried back to the Pepper Palace, Queen Wang was still unconscious, her face pale, and the palace maids beside her were sobbing softly.
If Queen Wang can't survive, Concubine Heng will probably be the one in charge of the palace, and their good days will be over.
"Imperial Physician, how is the Empress?" Xiao Conghui asked anxiously.
The imperial physician bowed and replied, "Your Highness, the Queen is weak now. If she can hold on for three days, she will be fine."
What?
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue. Xiao Conghui felt cold all over. What if he couldn't hold on for more than three days? He didn't dare to think about it. How could this happen?
When he first heard the palace maid's report in his mansion, he thought he had misheard. How dare Concubine Heng be so bold?
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Xiao Conghui asked Nanny Biyun who was beside Queen Wang.
Ever since Matron Liu got into trouble, Matron Biyun replaced her and was promoted to the head matron of the Pepper Room.
Matron Biyun was sold into the Wang family when she was young and she couldn't even remember her original surname. She said that clouds are green, so everyone called her Matron Biyun.
Nanny Biyun had wanted to curse loudly for a long time, but she didn't dare to do so because of the palace rules. Now that Xiao Conghui asked her to speak, she finally got the chance.
She bowed to Xiao Conghui and said, "Your Highness, our queen was schemed by that Concubine Heng. I don't know who gave her the idea. She cried, laughed, and screamed like crazy. She was like a madman. When everyone wasn't paying attention, someone pulled out a pair of scissors from somewhere and stabbed the queen in front of the emperor."
"She's said to be crazy, but she chose to stab the Empress instead of all the others... From what I can see, she's taking this opportunity to brazenly... This is clearly a case of insubordination..."
As Nanny Biyun continued to talk, Xiao Conghui's face became darker and darker. This matter was indeed full of strangeness.
"Go check who Concubine Heng has been meeting these past few days and where has she been?"
Xiao Conghui ordered that no matter who did it, he would make her regret it, no matter who it was.
Staying by Queen Wang's side was of no use, so Xiao Conghui asked the imperial physician and the palace maids to take good care of her, and he left the palace and returned home.
......
The eldest prince's palace.
"Hearing what Your Highness said, it seems that the Imperial Concubine has been poisoned," Cheng Xuan said.
Cheng Xuan's real name is Li You. He likes to study all kinds of strange things. Cheng Xuan is the name he gave himself. Once, Xiao Conghui was boating on the lake and the boat capsized and he almost drowned. He saved Xiao Conghui's life.
From then on, Cheng Xuan was kept in Xiao Conghui's mansion.
Cheng Xuan's greatest wish was to travel along the rivers and visit famous people all over the world, but he was also fond of wine and women and could not escape the temptation of the capital, so even though he went out a few times, he would return in less than half a month each time.
Later, he found that he really had no perseverance, so he gradually gave up and settled into working as an aide to the Grand Prince's Mansion, giving Xiao Conghui some bad advice.
After listening to Xiao Conghui's description today, he dared to conclude that Concubine Heng was poisoned by a Gu. As for what kind of Gu it was and how to cure it, he still needed to study further.
The royal families of the Southern Liang Dynasty banned witchcraft. Who was so bold as to cast witchcraft in the palace?
Xiao Conghui went through the people in the harem one by one in his mind, but had no clue.
Seeing Xiao Conghui frowning, Cheng Xuan knew he was thinking about the person who cast the poison. "Your Highness, the person who cast the poison must be in front of you. I am sure this person must be someone from the harem."
Someone from the harem?
If it's for the sake of vying for favor, then everyone will be suspicious. If it's for something else...
Could it be that she is wearing Concubine Heng's attire, taking this opportunity...
Xiao Conghui's mind was racing, wondering who this person was.
At this time, someone from the Pepper Room came and said, "Your Highness, this is the person that Concubine Heng has been seeing these days, and the place she has been going to."
As he spoke, he brought up a small letter. Xiao Conghui took it, opened it, and glanced over it.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a name, Old Concubine Xue!
Old Concubine Xue was from Beiliang. Ever since Xiao Conghui learned that Lichun Garden was her property, he sent someone to Beiliang...
This old Concubine Xue was born out of wedlock and was not favored in the boudoir. Her mother's father was a Gu breeder!
"After being poisoned, will the person remain unconscious?" Xiao Conghui asked.
He wanted to confirm whether Concubine Heng intentionally harmed the Queen.
Cheng Xuan stroked his thick beard and said, "No matter what kind of Gu it is, people will have a moment of clarity, but the clarity won't last long."
This sentence is enough, Heng, since you dare to take action, don't blame me for being rude, Xiao Conghui clenched his fists.
However, Old Concubine Xue had been in the palace for so many years and had never used Gu to harm anyone. Moreover, she and Concubine Heng had no grudges against each other, so there was really no need to take such a big risk...
Suddenly, Xiao Conghui's eyes lit up. Two days ago, a spy reported that the seventh prince of Beiliang was assassinated on his way to Beijing.
The envoys from Beiliang are coming. They intend to marry a princess. Currently, there is only the second princess available in the palace. Concubine Heng sends assassins...
The thread of the incident gradually became clear. Xiao Conghui called the secret guards in and said, "Search Concubine Xue's palace."
......
At night, a group of secret guards flashed into Ci'an Palace.
Ci'an Palace is located in the northwest corner of the imperial palace, where Concubine Xue lives. Because it is remote, the patrolling guards only give it a cursory inspection.
The secret guards were not hindered.
When it was just getting light, the secret guard returned to the house and presented what he had found to Xiao Conghui.
Cheng Xuan just took a look and nodded to Xiao Conghui, "Yes, it's a poisonous insect."
He added, "If a person who has been poisoned doesn't have an antidote, he won't live long, Concubine Heng..."
Even without us taking action, she is doomed. The other party is obviously trying to kill her.
Xiao Conghui fell into deep thought.
