Chapter 2463 Is it true or false?
Zhu Feng only said: "Wang Baizhi, go check inside the incense burner to see if there is anything dirty."
When Wang Baizhi heard this, she hurried over and picked up the incense burner.
It just so happened that all the previous incense ashes had been cleaned up. I had just burned a piece today, and there was only a little bit left as big as a fingernail.
Wang Baizhi picked it up, held it in her palm, examined it for a long time, and then smelled it.
Apart from the smell of regular spices and some calming Chinese medicine, there is indeed no other smell, and there is nothing unusual about the disease.
However, since the emperor asked him to come and investigate, he couldn't be so careless.
After thinking about it, he plucked up his courage, broke off a small piece of the remaining incense, put it on the tea tray and lit it.
As a wisp of green smoke slowly rose, a faint medicinal fragrance rose.
Everyone around subconsciously took a step back.
Only Wang Baizhi immediately came forward, stretched out her hand and fanned the light smoke in front of her.
Suddenly, he felt his heart flutter.
Xue Yun was originally standing far away, but seeing that his expression was not right, he quickly rushed over, picked up the teacup next to him, dipped his finger in a little water and flicked it towards his face.
After being splashed with cold water, Wang Baizhi immediately woke up.
The moment he woke up, he immediately took the teacup from Xue Yun's hand and poured the remaining half cup of water into the tea tray. With a sizzling sound, the fragrance was extinguished.
Seeing him like this, everyone hurriedly asked, "Doctor Wang, how is it?"
Wang Baizhi turned around and looked at everyone, then looked at the half piece of incense on the tea tray. She gasped and hurriedly walked to Zhu Feng and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, this incense contains a large amount of Epimedium, Suoyanzi, Liuyuehan, and several other herbs. They are all that kind of medicine."
“…”
"This kind of medicine arouses emotions and stirs up the soul. It's going to cause trouble!"
After hearing this, Zhu Feng's face darkened.
Before he could speak, all the concubines in the imperial study room started to curse Xue Yun -
"Doctor Xue, I never thought you were this kind of person!"
"How dare you drug the emperor!"
"I've known for a long time that you had ill intentions, but I never thought you would dare to do this. Your Majesty, you must punish her severely!"
Seeing everyone's excitement, Chen Lianxiang stood in the crowd with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Although, it is not the result I want.
But, let’s settle this matter first.
Then he followed the crowd and said, "Please, Your Majesty, severely punish Doctor Xue!"
Listening to everyone talking at once, although Zhu Feng's face was gloomy, he was not angry. One of his hands was still held in Nan Yan's palm.
At this time, I felt a slight tremor in Nan Yan's palm.
He raised his head and looked at the imperial concubine with a complicated expression.
Said: "My Lady, what do you think?"
Nan Yan looked down at him.
The two people's eyes met and flickered for a moment, then Nan Yan said calmly: "I want to hear what Doctor Xue has to say first."
"oh."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng also turned to look at Xue Yun.
Xue Yun had just been insulted by everyone, and she came from a prominent family with strict upbringing. Not to mention being slandered like that, she had never even heard such words in the deep courtyard.
At this moment, my face turned red
Hearing the Imperial Concubine speak, she gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is very perceptive. If this humble servant really wanted to—really wanted to curry favor with someone powerful and influential, how could he have done it so obviously? Just now, it was this humble servant who suggested that there was something strange in the incense."
Chen Lianxiang immediately said: “Who knows, maybe you said that on purpose.”
“…”
"You say that so that everyone will think you are frank and you are deliberately distancing yourself."
Xue Yun looked at her with red eyes and said immediately, "But I just said that I suspect that when Concubine Kang last treated me, she was also poisoned by the same medicine. If the medicine in this incense is really mine, then why did I bring up Concubine Kang's affairs? As a woman, I can't climb up to Concubine Kang even if I want to!"
When she said this, she gritted her teeth and her voice became sharp.
When everyone heard this, they were a little hesitant.
Indeed, Kang Jieyu is a woman, she is also a woman.
Everyone could at least understand why she drugged the emperor, but it was completely unacceptable for her to drug another woman.
After being together for so long, everyone knows that Doctor Xue does not have the habit of polishing mirrors.
Just when everyone was a little confused, Chen Lianxiang said coldly: "This is exactly what I am a little suspicious of."
Everyone looked at her.
Someone asked, "Princess Jing, what are you suspicious of?"
Chen Lianxiang stepped forward and said, "Even before Concubine Kang's death, including the Emperor's appointment of Doctor Xue as the Chief Judge of the Imperial Hospital, there was no mention of Concubine Kang's improper behavior towards Doctor Xue during her last consultation before her death. But just now, you brought it up yourself."
“…”
"Isn't this something you deliberately fabricated to clear yourself of suspicion?"
“…”
"Besides, when Kang Jieyu was being treated, only the two of you were present. You are the only one who knows whether Kang Jieyu has done anything improper. You can say whatever you want now."
“…”
"It's just that Xiang's problem is right in front of you, you can't deny it!"
"I--"
Xue Yun was filled with anger.
But she wanted to say something, but couldn't. After all, in this matter, she only saw it with her own eyes and experienced it personally, and she had no other evidence.
And just at this moment, Nan Yan spoke.
She said softly, "Well, that's not necessarily the case."
“……!”
Shen Lianxiang's heart moved slightly.
She looked up at Nan Yan and saw that the imperial concubine was holding the emperor's hand with both of her own, with a calm and cold expression on her face.
Chen Lianxiang felt a little nervous, but she still managed to smile and said, "What the Queen means is..."
"Someone come!"
Nan Yan didn't say much to her, just shouted outside, and immediately saw Ruoshui running in from outside.
In his hand, he held a paper bag.
She stepped forward and kowtowed to the emperor and Nan Yan: "This servant greets the emperor and the ladies."
Nan Yan simply said, "Doctor Wang, please take another look at this."
Upon hearing this, Wang Baizhi walked over, took the paper bag from Ruoshui's hand, opened it and saw that it contained another small piece of burnt incense residue.
He whispered, "My Lady, this is—"
Nan Yan said calmly, "After Concubine Kang died, I had Yangxingzhai cleaned out. She died suddenly of illness, and with the issue with Imperial Physician Xue, rumors were inevitable. So, I had everything inside sealed away, and nothing was touched."
“…”
"This is the remaining incense found in her incense burner."
“…”
"Since Imperial Physician Xue said there was something wrong with the incense, and Concubine Jing said it was a fabrication by Imperial Physician Xue, why not have Imperial Physician Wang investigate and see if it's true or not? And who is telling the truth?"
