Chapter 539: Everyone Came Here Upon Hearing the Sound
The first to arrive was Imperial Physician Zheng, but along with him came Concubine Yi and Concubine Shu.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen, may Your Majesty be blessed with good fortune."
The two men walked up to Queen Song and bowed.
Queen Song's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. Why did these two people come?
If it was Concubine Liang and Concubine Rong who came, she could still understand it.
"Stand up." Queen Song said calmly, "What do you want to see me for?"
Concubine Yi and Concubine Shu stood up together, looked at each other subconsciously, and then snorted coldly at each other.
"Shufei, the Queen is asking you a question. If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, just leave." Concubine Yi looked at Shufei and snorted.
Concubine Shu gritted her teeth in anger, and really wanted to tear Concubine Yi's mouth apart: "Concubine Yi, you are really nosy. This is Jingren Palace, not your Yongfu Palace. The Empress didn't say anything, but you are jumping up and down like a monkey."
"Who are you calling a monkey?" Concubine Yi said angrily with a fierce look on her face, pinching her waist and pointing at Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu looked at her sarcastically: "Whoever responds is the one."
"You..." Concubine Yi was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to rush forward, but was quickly stopped by Nanny Wei.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down. You should not act insolently in front of the Queen."
Knowing that Concubine Shu is not a spineless person who is easy to bully, why did you confront her? In the end, you didn't get any advantage.
Queen Song looked at the two of them with dignity and shouted in a deep voice, "Do you want me to make room for you to quarrel to your heart's content?"
The two of them fell silent immediately, but their eyes whizzed towards each other like flying knives, and their discord was laid bare.
Queen Song knew that Concubine Yi was doing this because of her.
This fully demonstrated her attitude of standing behind him and he no longer had to worry about Concubine Shu.
"Shufei, you say." Queen Song looked at Shufei and asked.
Concubine Shu was choked for a moment, then she raised her chin slightly and sat down on the chair arrogantly: "To reply to your Majesty, I heard that someone was trying to murder the Queen, and I was very worried, so I hurried here."
"Tsk, hypocrisy." Concubine Yi rolled her eyes at her and said.
Upon hearing this, Empress Song's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she looked at Concubine Yi: "You too?"
Concubine Yi nodded and said, "I have heard about it, too. I am so angry that I must come to see who dares to murder the emperor. I will kill her and scatter her bones to ashes to relieve my hatred."
Xique, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Concubine Yi's vicious expression and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
Queen Song drank a sip of tea and ordered with a cold expression: "It involves the Thirteenth Princess. Go and invite Concubine Rong."
Her Jingren Palace has not been cleaned for many years.
"Yes, madam."
A palace maid responded and left.
Doctor Zheng stood silently in the corner with his head lowered.
As soon as Concubine Yi and Concubine Shu entered the palace, they didn't give him a chance to speak.
Suddenly, he heard Queen Song calling him, and Imperial Physician Zheng came out: "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty, may Your Majesty be blessed with good fortune."
Queen Song: "Stand up and answer."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Doctor Zheng said as he stood up, but his body was still half bent respectfully.
"You should know why I summoned you. Tell me the truth." Queen Song looked at Doctor Zheng and said.
Doctor Zheng bowed and said, "In reply to your Majesty, a maid from Jingren Palace brought a pair of shoes to me and asked me to check if there was anything wrong with them. I did not dare to ask any more questions and checked them carefully. At first, I did not find any problems with them."
"I was suspicious and tried many methods. Finally, I tasted the taste of thunder god vine in the salt water where the shoes were soaked. This is a chronic poison, but it is said that this poison is not fatal. I thought about it carefully before I came. This person did not dare to use a strong poison to kill the queen immediately, but used thunder god vine, which would wear down the body in an unknown year. However, the moment I stepped into the palace, I suddenly remembered that the queen loved incense. Every day, her clothes had to be fumigated in the incense burner before wearing. Among the spices that the queen often used, she added saltpeter. The collision of these two flavors can stimulate the medicinal properties. The thunder god vine is no longer thunder god vine. In less than two months, people will slowly die from the accumulated toxins."
After Doctor Zheng finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the hall.
All I could hear was the sound of palace servants walking around outside the palace.
Chu Ying'er's face became paler and paler, her lips trembled as she bit them tightly. She held on to the armrests of the chair tightly, trying to keep herself sitting steadily.
The Ninth Princess is so vicious.
Concubine Shu folded her hands and slowly stroked the nail covers on her fingers. Although there was a look of surprise on her face, she was actually gloating in her heart.
Unfortunately, the truth was revealed.
Otherwise, she could just wait for Song Nanyue to die without having to take any action herself.
Thinking of this, she bit her lip in annoyance. If she had known Chu Pan'er was so cruel, she should have made good use of her. At least she should have waited until Song Nanyue was poisoned before being discovered. By then, she would probably not be able to be saved.
After a moment of stunned silence, Concubine Yi slapped the table and jumped up, pointing at Xi Que who was kneeling on the ground and said, "My lady, it is this slave girl, right? Hand her over to me and I will pry her mouth open."
Xi Que gritted her teeth and looked at Concubine Yi, with a stubborn look that was not afraid of power: "My Lady Concubine Yi, I am innocent."
Concubine Yi looked at her like this, sneered, and said to Madam Wei, "This bitch dares to glare at me, Madam Wei, slap her in the face."
Nanny Wei: “…”
How did she glare at you, Your Majesty?
But if the master said so, she, as a servant, could not refute it.
So Nanny Wei stepped forward without hesitation and slapped Xique twice before she could open her mouth.
Nanny Wei was good at slapping people on the mouth. After two slaps, the corner of Xique's mouth was immediately broken, and a broken tooth came out of her mouth.
Concubine Yi was immediately satisfied.
You are the only one who opened your mouth and could speak.
The bird was in so much pain that it couldn't speak and just kept crying.
"Someone, take this slave back to Yongfu Palace so I can meet her in person." When Concubine Yi saw that Queen Song did not refuse, she quickly ordered the palace servants to take Xique away.
And she continued to stay.
Rongpin came with Liangfei. When she entered Jingren Palace, she happened to see Xique being dragged away with blood in its mouth.
Rongpin recognized the maidservant who served her daughter. She was so shocked that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. Liangfei quickly supported her and said, "Don't panic. Others don't know what kind of character Ying'er is. As a mother, don't you know it? As long as she is innocent, this matter has nothing to do with her."
"Yes." Rongpin nodded absentmindedly with a pale face.
Seeing that she was distracted, Concubine Liang knew that no matter how much she said, she might not listen to it all, so she said nothing more and walked towards the side hall holding Concubine Rong's arm.
As soon as Concubine Rong entered the palace, her worried gaze fell on Chu Ying'er.
Concubine Liang pushed her gently, and Concubine Rong came back to her senses and saluted Queen Song.
