Chapter 61 The trouble has been diverted to her and the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the people from the Yuyaoyuan have arrived."
Eunuch Hong walked quickly into the palace to report.
Lin You was yawning from waiting.
"Well, has the Grand Tutor arrived?"
Shen Jing'an's eyes were still on the memorials, his face indifferent.
"Should be here soon."
Not long after the Grand Tutor left the palace, he was stopped by the people sent by Eunuch Hong. Seeing the guards' ugly and anxious expressions, the Grand Tutor couldn't help but panic.
After a lot of random thoughts, he finally arrived at the Yunqian Palace. When he walked into the palace, the Grand Tutor saw Concubine Xian standing upright with a tray.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor has arrived."
"The Minister of Justice has also arrived."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jing'an put down the memorials in his hand and stood up.
"Bang..."
Lin You, who was dozing with his chin propped up, suddenly slammed his head on the table, and rubbed his forehead with a grin. Seeing this, Shen Jing'an, who had a cold face, couldn't help but chuckle.
Lin You raised his head, and he stopped smiling in an instant, returning to his cold and banished look.
[Could it be that I was dazzled just now? How could Shen Jing'an, a sickly man with a cold face every day, laugh! ]
Shen Jing'an, "..."
He is not paralyzed, how can he not laugh, this woman!
The little eunuch stepped forward to support Shen Jing'an, and Lin You also acted like the noble concubine, and walked to the hall together and sat down.
Yu Yaoyuan, Minister Jiang, and the Grand Tutor immediately bowed and knelt.
After standing up, the Grand Tutor spoke first, "Your Majesty, what is the virtuous concubine..."
He asked carefully.
Although he was Shen Jing'an's teacher, that was during his childhood. In his memory, Shen Jing'an was in poor health and mostly lay in bed, which was also the case when he taught.
But he had a strong comprehension and a good memory. He could understand everything after being told once or twice.
It was for this reason that he agreed to let his daughter marry into the palace.
He originally thought that if the descendants of his Mu family could have Shen Jing'an's blood, they would definitely be very smart.
But he didn't expect that Shen Jing'an's body would become weaker and weaker day by day, and in the end he couldn't even consummate the marriage.
He endured all this and told his daughter to wait a little longer, there was no rush.
However, it was not until the news of Concubine You Gui's forced rape spread that he realized that maybe it was not that Shen Jing'an was incapable, but that he didn't want to quit.
Otherwise, with Shen Jing'an's personality, he would not give in so easily.
At that moment, he felt sorry for his daughter and was angry that he had misjudged her.
But there was no other way, he could only let his daughter suffer.
Could it be that because of this, Concubine Xian made a mistake? Could it be that she learned from Concubine Gui and forced herself on him?
"There is no rush for Concubine Xian. Let the people from the Yu Medicine Court check the clothes first."
Shen Jing'an was weak, but he still sat like a pine tree. His amber eyes were clear but deep, and he had a chill that made people dare not look directly at him.
Upon hearing this, the people from the Yu Medicine Court hurried to Concubine Xian and took away the tray she was holding.
Concubine Xian's hands were so sore that they were about to break, and she was finally able to put them down, but the pain was no match for the fear in her heart.
She stood there numbly, her hands and body trembling.
"Excuse me, did you sew this dress, Concubine Xian?"
asked Minister Jiang next to her.
The emperor's actions clearly showed that there was something wrong with the dress, and the purpose of the emperor calling him here was obvious.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian's eyelashes trembled and her lips turned pale.
"Yes."
Just one word, but it seemed to have taken all of Concubine Xian's strength.
She had already said it in advance to show her hard work and thoughtfulness.
Now, she couldn't even try to quibble.
She could only pray that the people in the pharmacy would not find out anything.
It definitely wouldn't happen.
She believed in Prince Yu.
The sand in the hall was leaking away little by little as time went by. Almost an hour had passed, and Lin You was almost unable to keep her eyes open. The people from the Yu Medicine Institute were still frowning. Lin You stretched her lazy waist, walked to the side of a few people, and began to study.
After watching for a while, she found that the people from the Yu Medicine Institute were either looking at the clothes left and right, or sniffing them hard, or poking the clothes with silver needles...
well, in short, none of the methods were practical.
Lin You looked at the people who were discussing the research and asked in confusion: "Why don't you use mice?"
Isn't this the fastest way to test for poison?
"White mice? What are white mice?"
The people from the Yu Medicine Institute were confused.
They had only seen gray mice.
"That's it..."
Lin You was silent, and then she suddenly realized that there were no white mice in this era.
"Then catch some mice."
Mice and rats should be the same.
"This..."
Everyone in the Yu Medicine Court was stunned.
"Your Majesty, I think there is nothing unusual about this dress, so there is no need to worry about it, right?"
One of the pharmacists spoke up.
"Yes, I also think this dress is normal. Besides, it was sewed by Concubine Xian herself. Every stitch and every thread is her love. If the mice gnaw it, wouldn't it be a waste of Concubine Xian's efforts?"
The Yu pharmacists who came this time were all veterans of the Yu Medicine Court, and they all had a certain say. There were four of them in total.
"I think your Majesty's method is worth a try. After all, powerful poisons are colorless and odorless, and they cannot be detected at the beginning."
The pharmacist with gray beard stroked his beard, looking quite mysterious.
"Eunuch Hong, catch some mice."
Shen Jing'an suppressed the discomfort in his heart and spoke in a hoarse and cold voice.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Concubine Xian and several pharmacists changed.
Shen Jing'an silently took in the strangeness of several people.
"Your Majesty, I think..."
"Why, Pharmacist Gao is going to refute my order?"
With a "thump", several pharmacists knelt down collectively and said in a trembling voice: "Your humble servant dare not."
"Cough cough..."
Shen Jing'an put his hand to his lips, and finally couldn't hold it back and started coughing.
About a quarter of an hour later, three eunuchs held a small cage, each with three mice.
Seeing that the eunuchs were about to put the rat on the clothes, Concubine Xian suddenly knelt down, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.
"Your Majesty, I worked day and night, spent half a month, and sewed this by hand, stitch by stitch. Even if you don't like it, you don't have to waste it like this, right?"
"Besides, the clothes were also requested by your Majesty and sister. Why did you make such a fuss after I made them, and summoned the Minister of Justice and the pharmacist?"
"I really don't understand what your Majesty and Concubine Gui mean."
[Hiss, why does this sound like diverting trouble? ]
[And it was diverted to me and Shen Jing'an. Well, she is indeed a woman who dares to cheat on your Majesty. She is so bold. ]
[I admire you!
Shen Jing'an narrowed his amber eyes, "What do you mean, Concubine Xian? I and Concubine Yougui are deliberately making things difficult for you?" "
That's not what I meant, no..." Concubine Xian looked at the young emperor with tears in her eyes and shook her head.
Maybe it was because of the tears that confused her, but she seemed to see that the weak emperor's eyes were full of disgust for her.
