Chapter 139 The Truth about Poisoning

In Qingyun Palace, not long after Concubine Wen left Qingyun Palace, Meiying and Juying arrived.

"Miss, Juying has been investigating the poisoning of Concubine Lan these days. She found out some clues about it a few days ago. I went to investigate again and found some more."

Song Qingyan knew that if it wasn't a big deal, Meiying wouldn't have to accompany Juying, so she straightened her body, looked at Meiying, and said nothing, just waiting for her next words.

Meiying looked at Juying, who then took over and said, "I think that Concubine Lan was poisoned suddenly, and Madam Wu also said that the other party used the poison in a hurry, which exposed her true colors. I think that the poison probably came from the food, so I checked the records of Yanhe Palace during those days, and finally got a clue. In the days before Concubine Lan was poisoned, there was an extra snack in her meals."

"I went to the kitchen to check again, but there is no such snack in the kitchen's records." Juying said this and looked at Song Qingyan, "Miss, guess where this snack came from?"

Juying's personality is not as stable as Meiying's. She has always been lively. However, how can people be the same in everything? Song Qingyan likes Meiying's stability, and also likes Juying's liveliness.

Meiying thought this was a very important matter, and when she spoke again, there was some displeasure in her tone: "Juying."

Song Qingyan just waved her hands, looked at Juying, and said firmly: "It's Ninghe Palace."

Juying couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed: "How did you know that, Miss?"

Song Qingyan just remembered Wanwan's analysis and what she said before. After Concubine Lan fell ill, the biggest beneficiary was Concubine Ning. It was at that time that she got the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

Sure enough, the little fairy's intuition is always right.

Wanwan has been very disgusted with seeing Shen Ning in recent days, but she can't tell why. It turns out that she had malicious intentions towards her since then.

Jin Xin, who was standing by, exclaimed, "Ning... How could the Empress be so vicious? Has she been thinking this since then? It's a shame for the Empress to be on good terms with her."

"I'm afraid it will be earlier." Mei Ying shook her head and said, "I thought that Concubine Lan was also poisoned, and the young lady was also poisoned before, so I went to investigate the source of the Sixth Princess' poison."

Mei Ying took out a small bag from her arms and placed it on the table: "Miss, be careful, this is the poison that the young lady was poisoned with before."

"That day, the Sixth Princess told Miss that it was a young palace maid who gave her this thing." Mei Ying looked at Song Qingyan at this point, "I remember that Prince Pei gave Miss a medicine at that time, saying that it was searched from the Sixth Princess's palace. Miss, why don't you invite Miss Qionghua to test whether this is the same medicine."

After hearing what they said, Song Qingyan nodded to Jinyu and signaled her to go and invite Miss Qionghua over.

Lu Xingwan's heart was also in turmoil.

[So I was poisoned, it was Concubine Ning who poisoned me, and then came to save me, so that mother could get close to her and recommend her in the future.]

[Later, Empress Lan was poisoned by Concubine Ning. I was actually right last time. She really wanted to help control the power of the six palaces.]

[So she was a bad person from the beginning. My mother and I mistook her for her.]

After being idle for so many days, Qiong Hua finally had something to do, so she walked quickly towards the Imperial Concubine's Palace.

Jinyu followed behind him, jogging all the way, trying to wave to Qionghua to wait for her, but she was speechless and had to give up. After all, they were in Qingyun Palace, so she just let her go.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She had been practicing martial arts with the young lady since she was a child. Although she didn't develop any great skills, her body had always been much stronger than other maids. But today she couldn't catch up with Qiong Hua.

When Song Qingyan saw Jinyu coming in breathlessly, and saw Qionghua breathing steadily, she was also surprised: "Ms. Qionghua's physical strength is really good. Jinyu has always been a strong person."

Qiong Hua, however, scratched his head in embarrassment: "I forgot that Miss Jinyu was still behind."

After saying that, he bowed to Jinyu as an apology, and then looked at the Royal Consort: "I have been following my father to the mountains to collect herbs since I was a child, and I have also learned this skill."

Song Qingyan didn't want to ask any more questions and pointed to the two things on the table: "Miss Qionghua, please help me check if this is the same medicine."

After that, he warned, "This is poison, Miss Qionghua, please be careful."

Qiong Hua nodded, stepped forward and gently opened the medicine, but smiled: "Don't worry, Madam, it's not a deadly poison."

"Isn't it poisonous?" Song Qingyan frowned. The image of Wanwan with rash and fever was still vivid in her mind. She remembered that Concubine Ning said that if she didn't take the antidote, Wanwan would have a high fever that would not stop until she was exhausted.

Qiong Hua did not notice the change in the Imperial Concubine, and only nodded: "It may cause some rashes on the body. If the medicine is too strong, there will be a fever for a few days, but most people will recover after three days, so there will be no impact."

"Is there an antidote?" Song Qingyan asked again.

"Yes, a medicinal bath would be best."

After Qiong Hua finished speaking, the room fell into silence and no one spoke.

[So Shen Ning came the second day after I had a fever to help me detoxify. That’s how my mother mistakenly thought she had great medical skills.]

[Later, when Concubine Lan was poisoned, the imperial physician had no cure, so they had to turn to her. How could she possibly give Concubine Lan the antidote? ]

[She really was very cautious in her every step.]

[Unfortunately, my mother still fell into her trap and actually thought that she was just vying for favor and recommended her to be the empress. Now that she has been crowned empress, she must not be pulled down.]

[Fortunately, my father gave my mother special privileges, so she won’t feel too bad.]

After listening to Lu Xingwan's thoughts, Song Qingyan finally spoke: "I understand."

Jin Xin, who was standing by, asked timidly, "My Lady, is it the Empress?"

Song Qingyan still remained silent, so Concubine Ning had a purpose from the very beginning.

Including deliberately poisoning her and then saving Wanwan's life so that he could get close to her.

Coincidentally, the Empress Dowager was also ill at that time, which gave Concubine Ning the opportunity to serve the Empress Dowager. That's why I recommended her to be Concubine Ning.

Later, he poisoned Concubine Lan, and when she was bedridden, he took away her power to manage the harem.

She had planned every step.

But how could she expect His Majesty to agree?

Suddenly remembering this, Song Qingyan raised her head and looked at Jinxin Jinyu: "Your Majesty, have you had a headache these days?"

Jin Xin nodded: "What a coincidence, I saw Eunuch Meng beside His Majesty yesterday and asked about this matter. Eunuch Meng said that His Majesty has been doing very well in recent days, and it seems that he is completely well."

Song Qingyan felt her chest heaving violently and could even hear her own heartbeat.

Therefore, Shen Ning has taken action against His Majesty.
