Chapter 50 Mid-Autumn Festival Poisoning
Miss Fang suddenly complained of stomachache.
Everyone looked in the direction of Lady Fang, who was lying on the table, her hands covering her stomach.
Concubine Zhengui's heart skipped a beat. If something happened to Concubine Fang at the palace banquet she had personally organized, not only would she be held responsible, but her future attempts to seize power would be even more difficult.
The Queen frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
The maid behind Concubine Fang supported her while saying, "Your Majesty, our master has a stomachache!"
"Why do I have a stomachache for no reason?" Concubine Zhengui stood up and looked over.
Before the maid could reply, Concubine Fang spat out a mouthful of blood. Almost in the blink of an eye, her lips turned a deep purple, and dark purple blood flowed out.
"My lady, my lady!"
The concubines sitting on either side of her screamed, "Could Lady Fang be poisoned?"
The hall suddenly became chaotic.
"Enough." Xie Junyao could no longer bear it: "Carry Lady Fang into the side hall. Call the imperial physician."
A good Mid-Autumn Palace banquet turned out like this. No one would feel good about it. What's more, Concubine Fang was pregnant.
At this moment, Wen Wanyu suddenly felt his breathing quicken unconsciously, he felt dizzy, and his whole body seemed to be torn apart.
Bai Su noticed her abnormality and supported her body, "My lady, what's wrong?"
"Oh!" Concubine Jin was startled and shouted, "What happened to Concubine Ling?"
Wen Wanyu's face looked particularly ugly at this moment. His face was pale, without a trace of blood.
Everyone's attention and gaze shifted from Miss Fang to Wen Wanyu.
Xie Junyao frowned: "Are you feeling unwell too?"
Wen Wanyu moved his lips and found that he didn't have the strength to speak.
Dark purple liquid gushed out in an instant, and uncontrollable pain swept through her entire mind.
Concubine Jin almost jumped away, and was three meters away from her. Xie Junyao glanced at her.
Bai Su widened her eyes and hurriedly hugged her: "My lady, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" As she said that, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the dark purple blood off her.
But, it can’t be wiped away.
He Ruoyan's heart seemed to be twisted in knots, and she was about to run away without paying any attention to the rules and etiquette. Fortunately, Wen Lingyuan held her hand tightly.
He Ruoyan sobbed and looked at Wen Lingyuan: "Why are you holding me? Wanwan must have been poisoned."
Wen Lingyuan's palms were shaking: "This is in the palace. The emperor and the queen will take charge of the situation."
There was only one constant echo in Wen Wanyu's head: It hurts so fucking much!
"Are you all dead?" Xie Junyao walked over, picked her up and carried her to the side hall.
Concubine Jin looked at Wen Wanyu, and her expression changed from fear to envy.
Beads of sweat streamed down his face, soaking the hair on his forehead. Dried blood was visible at the corners of his mouth.
"emperor."
"I'm here." Xie Junyao looked at her.
Wen Wanyu's head felt dizzy and he whispered softly, "Am I going to die?"
Hearing this, for some reason, Xie Junyao felt a sharp pain in his heart.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his voice became hoarse: "No."
"No."
He laid her gently on the bed.
Doctor Lin rushed over, unloaded the medicine box, observed the patient's complexion and felt his pulse.
Li Dexian ran over from another room and said, "Your Majesty, Lady Fang, I'm afraid Lady Fang is in trouble."
"I'll leave this to you." Xie Junyao said to Doctor Lin and walked away.
Another side hall.
When the Queen saw him come in, she said, "Concubine Fang has been poisoned by oleander. Because she took too much, the imperial physician said that the dragon heir in Concubine Fang's belly cannot be saved. Now, Concubine Fang is probably not well."
"Oleander?"
"yes."
"Your Highness, you were the one who organized this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Do you have anything to say?" Xie Junyao was silent for a long time, looking at Your Highness, his eyes without any emotion.
Concubine Zhengui's heart tightened, and she glanced at him anxiously, "It was because I failed to do it well that these things happened."
She immediately leaned forward and said, "I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to investigate this matter."
She single-handedly approved every matter at the palace banquet. She hadn't anticipated the poisoning of two concubines, one of whom was pregnant. Concubine Zhengui had hoped to use this opportunity to prove herself. Instead...
Xie Junyao's eyes moved slightly, as if thinking about something: "I will give you ten days."
"If the truth is not revealed within ten days."
What would happen if the truth was not revealed in ten days? Guiguifei held her breath. She didn't dare look up at him, afraid of seeing his disappointed eyes.
Xie Junyao finally relented: "If the truth cannot be uncovered within ten days, you don't have to get involved in these matters anymore."
Upon hearing this, the queen looked at Xie Junyao in disbelief.
Is that all?
Concubine Zhengui breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely find out the truth within ten days."
The imperial physician emerged from the inner hall and said, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. Concubine Fang has passed away."
Xie Junyao closed his eyes and said, "The beauty from Jin Fang was virtuous and was buried with the ceremony of a concubine."
The queen clenched her fists. Lady Fang, there are two lives in Lady Fang's belly, and this is the only result she gets?
Xie Junyao walked away.
The Queen followed him: "Your Majesty..."
Xie Junyao did not stop: "I know what the Queen is thinking. I have my own plans."
The queen slowly stopped.
Xie Junyao sat beside the bed: "How is it? Is it also the poison of oleander?"
"Your Majesty, Master Wen was poisoned by oleander," the imperial physician said. "Master Wen didn't take much poison, but..."
Xie Junyao's heart was lifted: "Just say it."
The imperial physician sighed, "It will affect your health to some extent."
Xie Junyao looked at her quietly.
The words of the imperial physician still lingered in my ears:
"If you take good care of yourself and are lucky, you can live longer. But if you're not lucky, I'm afraid you'll lose ten to twenty years of your life."
…
In Fuyao Palace, Concubine Zhengui looked tired.
An Xiuyi: "I came here to provide clues to Your Majesty."
Concubine Zhengui raised her eyebrows and said, "Hurry up and tell me."
"About a month ago, while strolling in the Imperial Gardens with Concubine Jin, I ran into Lin Fenyi. She, I, and Concubine Jin talked a lot about oleander. I felt they had nothing to do with it. Many of the Imperial Garden servants heard about it. Your Majesty, please summon them and ask them."
Concubine Zhengui paused for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on her face: "Come here."
"Call all the servants from the Imperial Garden to Fuyao Palace."
Lin Fenyi is Concubine Wan's person, and Concubine Jin is someone she has never liked.
At this time, there was peace in Defei's Qixiang Palace.
Yang Wenyi made a move: "Is Consort De pushing Concubine Jin out so quickly?"
Concubine De took one of her chess pieces: "Although Concubine Jin has a good family background, she is really stupid."
"Your Majesty is wise."
