Chapter 477 Understanding Pharmacology
"If Concubine Miao is gone...will you be relieved, Concubine Kangde?" Concubine Qianshu smiled.
"Sister Concubine Qianshu, please don't talk nonsense. I have been taking care of Concubine Miao for more than a year or two. If you wanted to kill her, why did you wait so long?" Concubine Kangde said angrily.
"Everyone knows that you are the most patient person. You didn't do it back then, probably because you were afraid of being suspected. After so many years, if something happens to Miao Mei again, it's hard to say that it was you, right? Why bother? What's the matter with the medicine? You gave it to her."
Concubine Kangde could not refute this point.
"Even if I want to harm her, I can't use the things I sent. It's too obvious. Your Majesty, please make the decision and clear my name." Concubine Kangde was reluctant to leave and knelt down immediately.
As they were speaking, they heard voices outside announcing that the Emperor had arrived.
Concubine Kangde didn't even get up.
Qi Yixiu came in and everyone greeted him. He walked to the top and helped the queen stand up.
"No need to be polite." Qi Yixiu sat down and said, "I have heard everything. Concubine Kangde, what do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. Even if I want to harm others, I cannot use such methods. This is too direct." Concubine Kangde said.
Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "Indeed, this method is a little too simple for you."
Concubine Kangde paused for a moment and couldn't say any more.
Everyone looked at the emperor, then at Concubine Kangde, and each had their own thoughts.
The emperor's words... are quite interesting if you think about them carefully.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I beg you to look into my affairs." Concubine Kangde is still Concubine Kangde. Even though she lost her composure for a while, she was able to keep her composure in the end.
"I have already asked people to start investigating." Qi Yixiu took a sip of tea and sighed, "Queen, you have to worry about this matter too. Although Concubine Miao is just a beauty, she gave birth to the third prince after all. We can't let her down."
The Queen responded, "That's what I thought too. I'll ask the imperial physician to take a good look at her and at least get her back in shape."
"Well, what the Queen did was right. There is no need to rush about today's matter. Concubine Kangde should be confined to her house for now. I will investigate it thoroughly." After saying this, the emperor stood up and left.
After everyone saw him off respectfully, their expressions were very interesting.
"Your Majesty is right. After all, she is the Third Prince's biological mother. How could she become like this without knowing the reason? If she wasn't lucky, she might have been gone. Tsk, it's really too tragic." Concubine Li said with a smile.
"Who said it wasn't true? Hey, this beautiful lady is usually very honest, but she has suffered." Shen Chuliu also smiled.
"Oh, I wonder how sad the Third Prince must be. If this was really done by you, Concubine Kangde, then it would be the adoptive mother who killed his biological mother." Concubine Qianshu gloated.
The queen just listened calmly.
Concubine Kang De's face turned pale with anger: "The matter is not clear yet, sisters, aren't you afraid that you can't take back what you said now?"
Shen Chuliu smiled again: "That's right, I won't say more, Queen, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave. Poor girl, go back and choose some things for Miao Meiren."
The Queen nodded: "Nothing, you can go, Concubine Kangde will stay for a while."
Some people wanted to leave, some wanted to watch the show, but they didn't dare to, so they could only leave.
In Fengzao Palace, the Queen raised her hand and said, "Sit down and talk."
Concubine Kangde thanked her and sat down at the bottom.
"What do you want to say about this matter? I don't want to doubt you, but the evidence is like this now." In her heart, the Queen felt that Concubine Kangde was not the one who did it.
The way she does things is unfathomable. She is not such a simple person.
However, there is still no accurate conclusion on Zhen Xiaoyi's matter, and now another incident has come out. It is impossible for the queen to ignore it this time.
If she doesn't care about anything, doesn't that mean she is incompetent?
Therefore, this time, no matter whether the emperor investigates or not, she is determined to investigate it thoroughly.
"Your Majesty is very knowledgeable. I don't know what's going on. Now, I can only go back and investigate it carefully." Concubine Kangde bit her lip.
She felt very uneasy. After the investigation, other things didn't matter, but she was afraid that the people around her would not be able to bear the punishment.
Although she is a virtuous concubine after all, the people around her may not necessarily be sent to the Internal Criminal Department, but what if the emperor wants to do so?
After all, the emperor never said that the third prince had a wonderful life, but he said it this time.
The Queen looked at her for a while and shook her hand: "Go back. Since the Emperor ordered you to stay at home, stay at home."
Concubine Kangde was very nervous, but she didn't reveal anything.
It has been three or four months since Concubine Kangde last delivered medicine to Concubine Miao, so if we investigate now, we can't find out everything in one go.
She returned to Leshou Palace and waved her hand, asking everyone to leave.
She needed to think calmly about where someone had taken advantage of the loophole.
Although the eunuch who delivered things to Miao Meiren last time was not as good as the palace maids who served her, he also followed her in from the mansion and was naturally trustworthy.
Could it be that he betrayed himself too?
Or was there something she had overlooked? Many things were only known by her two maids Zhima and Dousu, and they would never betray her.
Soon, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came and said they wanted to take away the person who delivered something to Miao Meiren last time.
This is considered gentle and polite. After all, he is not from the Internal Criminal Department.
Concubine Kangde had no reason to stop them. Even for Concubine Kangde, it was a shame for her to have people around her taken away for questioning. But this was what the Emperor said himself.
There is no choice but to do it.
Wu Qicai was taken to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but not directly sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
There was no plan to torture him, but Wu Qicai accidentally said something shocking.
"I originally heard from Madam Wen Chongrong that our master is an expert at making medicines. How could this...this medicine be wrong? It must be a problem from outside."
The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked at each other in shock.
Luo Shijian was shocked: "What did you say? Concubine Kangde knows how to make medicine?"
"...I don't know, I don't know..." Wu Qicai hurriedly pretended to be annoyed and kept silent: "I just heard Madam Wen Chongrong say it... I really don't know anything else."
"Send it to the Internal Affairs Department. I'll go find the emperor right away!" This was a big discovery.
As Luo Shijian walked in front, Wu Qicai, who was behind him, burst into tears: "I confessed everything, I confessed everything. Our queen can indeed make medicine and understand pharmacology. But she is in a high position, so it is not good for people to know that she knows so much. Queen Wen Chongrong also knows this. I only gradually found out after entering the palace."
In any case, he was sent to the Internal Criminal Department.
In the Taiji Palace, the emperor frowned after hearing what Luo Shijian said.
"She understands pharmacology?"
"Your Majesty, the eunuch has been sent to the Internal Criminal Department. I think he would not dare to lie." said Supervisor Luo.
Qi Yixiu raised his eyebrows and actually smiled with some interest.
