Chapter 32 Poisoning
"The Empress is really something. Jiang Xinyue, that little bitch, has been sent to the cold palace. How can she have a chance to turn over? She is even taken care of by the Imperial Household Department."
In Jiang Shunyi's opinion, Jiang Xinyue was treated preferentially in the cold palace because Empress Zhu went to the Imperial Household Department to make arrangements.
Otherwise, where did all those presumptuous things in the cold palace come from?
She originally wanted to make some sarcastic remarks to Jiang Xinyue after entering the palace, making her feel ashamed and angry to death.
All of that was ruined.
However, at least she ate water chestnut cake, which was mixed with laxatives.
"Poisoned?"
Empress Zhu was dining with the emperor in the Yikun Palace. After hearing the various reports, she turned her head and looked at the Emperor Xuanwu who looked confused: "Your Majesty... I..."
"Go!"
The emperor slowly cooled the hot soup and put it into his mouth. After swallowing it, he did not stand up and said: "No matter how humble the noble lady is, she is still my concubine. Someone dared to poison my concubine in the palace. The queen must investigate it thoroughly."
Empress Zhu nodded: "Then I will withdraw first."
She bowed and pointed to a few palace maids to go to the cold palace with her.
Seeing that the emperor did not even look up at her, Xi Que lowered her head in disappointment, followed Empress Zhu, and quickly left the Yikun Palace.
Emperor Xuanwu looked at Xi Que's back and frowned deeply: "Wang Dequan, go to Concubine Li and tell her that I have a headache and feel uncomfortable, and summon Imperial Physician Yan to Yikun Palace."
That's right!
All the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital are now in Concubine Li's Changxin Palace. If the emperor doesn't say so, even if the empress goes there in person, if Concubine Li refuses, the imperial physicians dare not leave Changxin Palace. Imperial Physician Yan
is the most skilled imperial physician in detoxification in the Imperial Hospital.
The emperor is not having a headache, but feeling distressed... Feeling distressed that the precious person was poisoned and hurt for nothing.
Eunuch Xuan closed the mottled door of the cold palace, paced back and forth at the door, and looked into the distance from time to time.
After a few steps, he saw a little palace maid waiting at the door. He ran over and grabbed the maid who turned around to escape: "Which palace are you from? What do you want to see sneaking around the door of the cold palace?"
The little palace maid was only nine or ten years old, and she burst into tears after being frightened by Xiao Xuanzi.
This trick didn't work on Xiao Xuanzi, so he grabbed the little palace maid's collar and dragged her into the cold palace.
No matter whether she was right or wrong, when the masters came, he would hand her over to them for trial.
Jiang Xinyue fell into darkness, and at the end of the darkness, a road full of light appeared.
Confused, she walked towards the light without hesitation.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, where are you? Go back to Cining Palace quickly, or the Empress Dowager will be worried if you are late."
On the camphor tree in the Yu Garden, among the dense tree canopies, there was a little boy wearing a purple dragon robe, delicate and beautiful.
It was the young Emperor Xuanwu!
He looked indifferent, wiping the tears that welled up from his eyes: "My mother will not worry about me. My mother only likes the Wu family. Even my little flower, whom I raised, will be given to Wu Chengyi."
Little flower? Wu Chengyi?
The scene changed, and a little boy wearing a green brocade robe, about the same age as the little prince, was sitting in the main hall of Kunning Palace, with a colorful little snake coiled on his arm.
He touched the little snake's head from time to time, looking at the little prince provocatively.
A dignified figure was sitting behind the pearl curtain: "My dear Ye'er, you are three months older than Xiaoyi and you are the older brother. As an older brother, you should give in to your younger brother. It's just a snake, right? I'll ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send you another one tomorrow."
"The next one sent won't be Xiaohua either."
Tears were shaking in the little prince's eyes: "Since it's just a snake, why didn't your mother choose a new one for him, but had to help him snatch the orphaned Xiaohua?"
"Bang!"
"How dare you!"
The queen slapped the wooden table on the couch: "I am your mother, and Xiaoyi is your uncle's son. You can sit on the throne of the prince because of me and your uncle. Let alone a snake, as long as Xiaoyi doesn't want the dragon chair under your butt, you should meet all his needs."
But Wu Chengyi just liked to steal his things.
Anything he likes will become Wu Chengyi's as long as Wu Chengyi enters the palace.
Even the maternal love he has always longed for. Wu Chengyi trotted over and nestled in the Queen Mother's arms, saying coquettishly: "Aunt, you are still the best to Xiaoyi. Can Xiaoyi stay in the palace for a while longer?"
"Xiaoyi can stay as long as he wants. Just treat the palace as your own home."
"My mother is partial."
The stubborn tears never fell. The little prince clenched his fists and stared at the aunt and nephew hugging each other behind the pearl curtain with red eyes.
My mother has never hugged him.
"You are really... becoming more and more unruly."
The queen snorted coldly: "Come here, lock the prince in the torture chamber to reflect on himself. No need to send him food. Let him out when he knows he is wrong."
There was another blur in front of her eyes. The little prince was locked in the dark torture chamber. There was no light at all. Jiang Xinyue couldn't see where he was.
She could only hear suppressed sobs in the corner.
At this time, the iron door of the torture chamber was pushed open. The light outside stimulated the little prince to unable to open his eyes. He blocked it with his hands, and the body of a colorful snake was thrown over.
The little boy smiled viciously: "Hey! Don't say that I'm not good to you. I think you are too lonely, so I specially gave you the little flower to accompany you. You can slowly cultivate feelings with it! Hahahaha..."
He did it on purpose! He
deliberately killed the little flower and threw it to the little prince!
The little prince held the body of the little snake in his hand for a long time without moving. After a long time, he stood up. The little snake in his hand fell to the ground, but he ignored it and walked out of the torture chamber.
But from then on, the little prince learned to hide. The more he liked something, the less he acted. The more he hated something, the more he acted like it.
Wu Chengyi could no longer snatch the things he liked.
"Hooray!"
Everything went black in front of him, and his body sank rapidly. Jiang Xinyue's body twitched uncontrollably and he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Master! The master is awake!"
There was a lot of noise beside the bed, and Jiang Xinyue was a little confused. The noise beside her ears seemed particularly unreal, and her mind was full of the cold and indifferent eyes of the little emperor.
Is it... the past of Emperor Xuanwu?
"My dear, how do you feel? Does your stomach still hurt?"
She was dazed and shook her head without saying a word, looking like she was stupid.
Wang Dequan's heart skipped a beat: "Doctor Yan, this..."
Doctor Yan continued to feel Jiang Xinyue's pulse: "It shouldn't be! I have never seen anyone who takes a small amount of arsenic and will affect his mind!"
"Master, don't scare me, wuwuwu..."
Empress Zhu also frowned tightly, wondering what she was thinking.
Jiang Xinyue suddenly woke up and said to Empress Zhu: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I just feel a little tired, but I'm fine now." She
was indeed not feeling uncomfortable, she just had no strength.
