Chapter 53 How dare she offend someone His Majesty values
The talented person who had just achieved research results was poisoned. Every talented person was a treasure of the Yue Dynasty, and the emperor was heartbroken to lose one.
How could we allow them to be assassinated by a group of villains?
The emperor picked up Bei Jingchu and left.
Bei Jingchu: What's going on with this flying feeling?
......
He Rou looked at Xu Xinshu's busy figure with a gentle smile on her lips.
She poured a cup of tea, dissolved the powder hidden under her nails into it, and brought it to Xu Xinshu.
"Xinshu, it's time to take a break after such a long time. Have a cup of tea to quench your thirst."
Xu Xinshu was concentrating on recording the growth of the seedlings and did not hear anything until He Rou called out again.
"No, no, Arou, drink it yourself."
He Rou took two steps closer and placed the teacup directly in front of Xu Xinshu. Xu Xinshu couldn't refuse and took it.
Although my brother said that people in the palace are as sinister as those in the officialdom, don't be foolish enough to believe in other people's smiling faces.
There might be a knife hidden in other people's smiles, so she had to be on guard at all times, especially when it came to things that entered her mouth.
But, but, Sister He is so good to her. Xu Xinshu has no sister, and He Rou feels like her own sister to her. She will definitely not harm her.
Xu.Xinshu, who had never experienced a beating except the time she got married, thought so.
It just so happened that she had been busy for a long time and her throat was a little dry.
He Rou acted like an older sister who was doing good for her, and watched her drink the cup of tea gently and firmly.
The warm tea flows down your throat, bringing a surge of warmth.
He Rou's smile grew wider and wider.
Until the water in the teacup became shallower and shallower, until only a mouthful was left.
"Your Majesty has arrived—"
Xu Xinshu put down the teacup and knelt with He Rou to welcome the emperor.
The sound arrives before the person arrives.
A panicked voice came over me: [Ahhh, why did you drink it? It's poisonous! 】
Xu Xinshu thought, this can't be a coincidence...
The emperor hurried over and saw the cup with only a little tea left on the ground next to Xu Xinshu. He almost gasped.
It is with the skills acquired since childhood that one is able to maintain a dignified demeanor as calm as a mountain.
"Doctor, go and take a look."
The female doctor was ordered to check the remaining tea in Xu Xinshu's teacup.
The emperor explained, "Now that you are very important to Dai Viet, I have thought about it and decided to send a female doctor to prevent your food and drink from being poisoned."
In fact, he had already thought that people like Xu Xinshu and Zhou Huanjiu needed to be protected.
But he wanted them to show their strength and be targeted before sending people.
Otherwise, it would be too eye-catching to protect these two people in such a high-profile manner before their achievements have been made and announced to the world.
It will attract attention in advance.
But the emperor did not expect that his promising young man did not die at the hands of the enemy's spies or in the assassination of the rebels.
However, he almost died in the conflict and quarrel among the ladies-in-waiting in the harem.
It's really... speechless.
If Chu'er hadn't reminded him, if Xu Xinshu had died for such a ridiculous reason, the emperor felt that he could stand on the roof of the Xuanshi Hall and curse.
He Rou's heart was in her throat.
She wanted to stop the female doctor and reached out to knock over the cup of tea.
But he didn't dare to move because the person standing in front of him was His Majesty.
It is... Your Majesty who is famous for his cruelty.
The female doctor took a sip of the remaining tea in the teacup and then immediately spit it out.
"Your Majesty, there is poison in the tea. It is arsenic. Although the amount is not small, it will not endanger your life."
[It's not life-threatening, Xu Xinshu would die after drinking this cup according to the prediction of ** (system).]
The emperor frowned and said, "Check Xu Shangyan's pulse."
Shangyan is an official position set up by the emperor for Xu Xinshu. Different from ordinary female officials, she is not in charge of palace affairs.
After the female doctor checked Xu Xinshu's pulse, she heard a series of sharp popping sounds.
Then he quickly took out the silver needle and inserted the needle.
Xu Xinshu: “yue~~~~~~”
"Xu Shangyan had been poisoned before, but the amount was small and the symptoms were just discomfort."
"But combined with what happened today, it's life-threatening."
"Human life is of paramount importance. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for giving acupuncture without permission, which has violated the dragon's eyes."
No matter how beautiful a woman is, the sight of her vomiting is really unbearable to watch.
The emperor turned his eyes away, but still remembered to cover Bei Jingchu's eyes with fatherly love.
"I will go get the medicine first, but it takes a long time to boil."
"Mung bean soup can cure all kinds of poisons. Your Majesty, you can have someone boil a large amount of mung bean soup for Xu Shangyan to drink until he can't drink any more."
When he heard no more sound, the emperor asked, "Xu Qing, do you suspect anyone who poisoned the person?"
Xu Xinshu: …
"Xu Qing?"
Xu Xinshu: “yue~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Emperor: ...Okay, you vomit first.
Let’s put the search for the murderer aside for now. The important thing now is to rescue Xu Xinshu.
What's more, the emperor already knew who the murderer was, it was just a matter of procedure.
Xu Xinshu first vomited out all the acid in her stomach, then fell to the ground powerlessly. Then someone picked her up and pinched her nose to feed her mung bean soup.
He didn't even have time to say a word the whole time.
Of course, it is impossible to add sugar to the mung bean soup used for detoxification. Xu Xinshu drank it so much that her whole body turned green and her stomach felt like it was about to burst.
She may never want to see mung beans again in her life.
From now on, she will have to postpone the planting of mung beans.
But these are just a life-saving measure; the symptoms of poisoning are still very serious.
She had a severe stomachache and a headache, and felt dizzy. She was breathing rapidly, opening her mouth to greedily inhale the air, but still felt suffocated.
Nosebleeds also kept gushing out of my nostrils.
If she hadn't been rescued in time, she would have died in such pain.
And because there is no timely vomiting and detoxification, it will definitely be more painful.
The murderer would not find a doctor for her.
Her wonderful second half of life ended just when she had achieved some small success.
Xu Xinshu was thinking this when she passed out.
Hercule returned to her bedroom and wanted to destroy the evidence. She opened a small secret cabinet on the inside of the table and placed the remaining arsenic.
She looked at Xu Xinshu's strong and healthy appearance. She seemed to be fine even after eating arsenic for so long.
She thought increasing the dosage would just make her feel worse.
I didn't expect the poison to take effect directly.
What’s even worse is that the emperor noticed it.
He Rou panicked. She hid the remaining half of the bag in her sleeve and wanted to go out to destroy the evidence. When she reached the door, she was blocked by the guards.
"Your Majesty has ordered that no one should go out."
Hercule returned to the room and opened the window, only to find two guards standing outside.
The moment she opened it, two guards looked at her with sharp eyes.
He Rou quickly retreated.
She sat there anxiously, and a burst of noise came, getting closer and closer.
It's the one who searches.
They were in the bedroom next to hers and were about to join her.
She looked at the half-filled bag of powder in her sleeve, opened it, and sprinkled it high.
She also spread out some unevenly spread areas.
The door of the room was opened and the searchers arrived.
Hercule had never expected these people to search in this way.
Even the table was turned over, and the secret cabinet that she thought she had hidden well was exposed.
Even the ground was visible because it was sprinkled with white powder and had a different color from the rest of the ground.
It turns out that this is the ability of your majesty's predecessors.
The powders of different colors mixed with ashes on the ground were collected again, and He Rou knew that she was finished.
She was wrong. She shouldn't have provoked Xu Xinshu. How could she afford to offend someone whom His Majesty valued?
When Xu Lanqi heard that her sister was poisoned, she hurried into the palace to visit her.
"Brother has already told you, don't trust others easily, don't trust others easily."
