In the court, all the ministers lowered their heads and ate melons, while the emperor's face turned blue and white.
Since this son was found, he has never stopped receiving rewards.
Even more than the prince, just to make up for the debt he suffered back then.
Besides, what happened back then was not his fault.
There was only so much he could do.
Moreover, for some reason, the emperor just couldn't like this son from the bottom of his heart.
The imperial physician's diagnosis was correct. Could it be that Yuan Xi had made a mistake?
The emperor was suspicious.
The ministers were all confused, but they didn't dare to speak.
Could it be that the princess finally failed this time?
Doctor Zhang standing by suddenly remembered something.
"I wonder if Your Majesty has been feeling unwell in recent days?"
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "I sleep better than usual." Moreover, he feels sleepy very easily.
I've become tired of reviewing memorials lately.
Doctor Zhang frowned: "That's strange."
Cao Cheng thought of something and said to the imperial physician, "Your Majesty has been taking particularly long naps recently, and your memory is not as good as it used to be. You often forget things."
Doctor Zhang immediately became alert: "Did you eat anything that made you feel uncomfortable?"
Cao Cheng immediately waved his hand and ordered people to prepare the food that the emperor had eaten recently.
I have to say that Cao Cheng is very proactive. In just one stick of incense, he managed to get everything ready.
"Everything I've eaten in the past three days is here."
In the palace, there was a special person responsible for storing what the emperor had eaten every day, including which dishes he had eaten and how much he had eaten from each dish.
Moreover, recently, the imperial kitchen has prepared many new dishes, which the emperor likes very much.
Doctor Zhang took out silver needles and tried them one by one.
"Normal, not toxic."
Could it be that the princess really failed this time?
Watching them taking the test one by one, Jiang Yuanxi couldn't help but say in his heart.
【Who said that the Emperor only ate these? 】
Cao Cheng slapped his head.
"Look at my memory," he remembered something, "these days, Concubine Ying often sends pork rib soup to the emperor, and the emperor likes it very much." It happened that today's pork rib soup had not been finished yet.
Cao Cheng immediately sent someone to bring the emperor the remaining pork rib soup from this morning.
Yingpin clenched her hands tightly below and dared not look up.
Doctor Zhang took out the silver needle to test it again, and it was still non-toxic.
Yingpin was confused because she clearly put it in the pork rib soup.
Doctor Zhang couldn't find out what it was.
Didn’t Your Highness poison the Emperor?
The courtiers began to drink tea nervously.
Doctor Zhang is the most capable physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau, there is no way he could be wrong.
But what the princess said was still correct.
Now, who is right and who is wrong?
Jun Jinye curled his lips secretly.
As long as the imperial physician couldn't find the cause, this matter had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Yuanxi is just a little kid who knows some skills of catching ghosts, but he may not understand the art of medicine.
Besides, even if the truth is found out, what will happen? My father will naturally not believe what the concubine says.
Jun Jinye is fearless.
Jun Molin wiped the soup that flowed to Jiang Yuanxi's mouth, turned around and said, "Doctor Zhang, I heard that there are hundreds of ways to poison people, not just direct poisoning. Think about it again."
Doctor Zhang lowered his head and thought, and suddenly thought of something.
He lifted his robe and ran to the food he had just tested. He scooped another spoonful of pork rib soup and brought it to his mouth to smell it.
“Found it, found it!”
He said happily: "Your Majesty, it's pork and chrysanthemums!"
"Eating the two together can easily damage the body. The emperor has been eating them for so many days, so it's natural that there will be a reaction."
Cao Cheng immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, it's my fault!"
These days, His Majesty loves pork rib soup, and the kitchen has prepared a lot of food.
His original intention was to let His Majesty taste something new, but he didn't expect that those people in the kitchen would dare to make trouble for His Majesty's food.
If anything happens to His Majesty, he will be blamed even if he dies!
Jun Jinye narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect that someone could actually discover it.
The emperor was furious: "Yingpin, tell me! Who ordered you to attack me?"
Yingpin shook her head in panic.
"Your Majesty, I didn't!" Yingpin refused to admit, "I saw that Your Majesty liked what I made, so I made it a few more times. I don't know medicine, so how could I know that pork and chrysanthemums can't be eaten together often!"
"Someone must be trying to frame me!"
"Your Majesty, please help me!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes, with endless coldness in them.
"Bring all those people from the imperial kitchen to me. I want to see who dares to do it under my nose today!"
The emperor was furious, and the court officials below him all knelt on the ground and dared not look up.
Not long after, everyone from the imperial kitchen was brought over.
After questioning, it was discovered that the dish with chrysanthemums was only made by Eunuch Chen.
Cao Cheng kicked him.
"Explain to me quickly! How did the chrysanthemum appear in the emperor's food?"
If he remembered correctly, this dish was recommended to him by Eunuch Chen.
He presented it to the emperor because he thought it was good.
Eunuch Chen knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, spare my life. I didn't know that this thing is incompatible with the soup made by Concubine Ying. If I knew, I would definitely not make this dish for Your Majesty."
Eunuch Chen and Concubine Ying blamed each other and neither of them admitted it.
The scene froze for a moment.
The prince was furious: "Come here, take this slave away! Torture him severely!"
He just didn't believe that he couldn't get any information out of this thing.
Eunuch Chen cried out that he was innocent.
Cao Cheng pointed at him and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it was Eunuch Chen who recommended that dish to me, and that's why I believed him."
This matter must have something to do with him.
【Eunuch Chen? 】
Jiang Yuanxi suddenly heard a key word.
She slid down from the table, walked over to Jun Jinye, and rubbed her greasy hands on his robe.
Although Jun Jinye was angry, he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction at all.
"You said you are Eunuch Chen? What's your relationship with Baldy Chen?"
Eunuch Chen thought that the princess came to save him, so he told her everything.
"Your Highness, Baldy Chen is my nephew."
"Oh~"
Jiang Yuanxi suddenly realized.
"Emperor Daddy, he's bad!"
Jiang Yuanxi pointed at Eunuch Chen and said, "Beat the shit out of him!"
[Tubby Chen relied on his family's official position in the palace to commit crimes in the village, and the county magistrate did not dare to provoke him. He committed many acts of arson, murder and looting. More importantly, he even beat his wife and abused his daughter! ]
[Such a person deserves death! ]
[Eunuch Chen not only helped his nephew conceal the truth, but also aided and abetted the tyrant, and he deserves death.]
[Most importantly, he actually dared to listen to Jun Jinye's words and attack the Emperor.]
She also said that she didn't know Jun Jinye. The thread between the two of them was closely connected. Don't think she didn't see it.
And there is Concubine Ying, she actually has other thoughts about Jun Jinye.
[In the poop pit, everyone drowns in poop! ]
[If it doesn't work, I'll secretly put him in there and it'll explode. ]
Jiang Fengyuan, who was lowering his head, suddenly looked up.
What's going on?
Who taught her to blow up the manure pit? ! ! !
