Chapter 579 Poison
When Princess Zhengna saw everyone sitting down, she also quietly found an empty seat to sit down. Seeing that the emperor and Xia Zihan were chatting happily, her eyes filled with jealousy.
Why, wherever she goes, she is surrounded by people, and she... no matter what she does, no matter what her identity is, she is always the supporting one.
Could it be that... she was going to live under Xia Zihan's feet for the rest of her life?
Princess Zhengna's eyes were full of gloom.
Another person present who was jealous of Xia Zihan was the queen.
Seeing the emperor's gentleness towards Xia Zihan, the smile on his face was as gentle as water. She had never seen him in so many years of marriage, but the emperor showed it to Xia Zihan.
The queen's face was gloomy, her forehead was dark with anger, and her silver teeth were chewed to pieces. Just when she was about to speak and intervene in the conversation between the emperor and Xia Zihan, she suddenly felt pain in her chest and turned pale.
"Queen...what's wrong with you?"
The maid standing next to her saw something wrong with her face, as if she looked uncomfortable, and she almost slipped off the chair. The little maid was so frightened that she was so frightened that she was so panic-stricken that she ignored the presence of the emperor and hurried over. He dragged the queen to prevent her from falling.
The little palace maid's sharp voice attracted the attention of everyone present.
The Emperor and Xia Zihan, who were chatting animatedly, also turned around and saw the Queen sweating profusely on her painful forehead, her face twisted, and her body trembling.
The emperor's face changed drastically and he shouted loudly, "Please call the imperial doctor quickly. Someone, please call the imperial doctor quickly."
When the people present saw the queen's sudden illness, they were too frightened to speak or even move for fear of disturbing the queen and getting into trouble.
The emperor opened the hand of the little palace maid and wanted to hug the queen and run to the Millennium Palace.
Xia Zihan said, "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor is not at the imperial hospital. We have to go to their house to invite him. It will take some time to arrive. Should I let my wife take a look at the queen first?"
"Okay."
Only then did the emperor remember that Xia Zihan also learned good medical skills from Bai Shen.
The emperor hurriedly carried the queen to the Arhat bed nearby. Xia Zihan sat on the chair beside the bed, stretched out his hand and pinched the queen's wrist.
After half a cup of tea, Xia Zihan put on a solemn face and withdrew his hand.
"The queen... was poisoned."
The emperor was shocked, "What kind of poison was poisoned? He was fine just now."
"It's purple orchid grass and snake venom." Xia Zihan said, "Half an hour after being infected with cobra venom, if you don't get timely treatment, you will probably die."
"However... with the blending of purple orchid grass, the toxicity of snake venom is greatly reduced. This is also the queen's great fortune."
After listening, the emperor asked anxiously. "Then can you detoxify the queen?"
"Okay."
As soon as Xia Zihan finished speaking, the emperor ordered the maid to prepare paper and inkstones.
When Xia Zihan was writing about the house, the emperor suddenly looked at everyone present. He coldly informed the palace guards, "Guard the door and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
If the murderer dares to poison the queen today, he will dare to do evil to him tomorrow. Such a person is like a knife flying in his chest, and he cannot let it go.
The faces of all the noble ladies present turned pale. They all knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my wife has not harmed the Queen. Please be more careful." "Your Majesty, my wife has never been close to the Queen."
"Your Majesty, you must be aware of everything..."
……
Looking at the ladies and ladies kneeling on the ground, the emperor's expression softened a little and said, "Don't worry, the pure will become pure themselves, the dirty will become dirty themselves. There is no need to be afraid of those who have not poisoned the queen. I am not A foolish king who can express his anger and kill without blinking an eye.”
After the emperor made a promise, the people present were no longer afraid, but they did not dare to be casual anymore, and no one crowded together to gossip.
There was no sound in the entire hall, no one was breathing, Xia Zihan wrote the pharmacy and handed it over to the emperor.
The emperor sent a confidant, his young father-in-law, to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine, and then began a personal interrogation.
At the end of the interrogation, the suspect turned out to be Xia Zihan.
The reason was that only Xia Zihan and Princess Zhengna were too close to the queen, and the queen even held Xia Zihan's hand to chat.
The only person present who had physical contact with the queen was her. Even Princess Zhengna was sitting next to the queen, but she never got too close.
Princess Zhengna looked at her and smiled proudly, and told the emperor, "When Chu Yu came in, the queen didn't see it, so she asked her to stand below for a while. She must have held a grudge."
"Chu Yu is the only female doctor present. I heard that Princess Chu Yu is very skilled in martial arts. If she orders something for the queen, it will be a piece of cake."
What he said made sense. Many of the ladies present agreed with Princess Zhengna's words, and looked at Xia Zihan with a bit of complaint and blame.
Even the queen, who was in great pain, stared at her fiercely with eyes that wanted to eat her.
Xia Zihan was wrongly accused, but she was not in a hurry, because, as the emperor said, the pure will become clear from itself, and the turbid will become turbid. Since she was not the one to do it, if she was in a hurry and opened her mouth to explain, it would be self-defeating. It will make people feel that there is no three hundred taels of silver here.
Xia Zihan thought for a while and then said, "Your Majesty, purple orchid grass is an uncommon herb. Anyone who touches it will leave purple marks on their hands. Your Majesty, you only need to check the hands of everyone present and see if See if the murderer is present."
"Oh, by the way, purple orchid grass is dried in the sun and ground into powder, but as long as the paper bag containing purple orchid grass, or the hand holding the purple orchid grass, will emit a purple orchid grass scent, the emperor can also use this aspect Get started.”
Xia Zihan provided several investigation clues to the emperor one after another, and the emperor ordered the maids to investigate one by one according to Xia Zihan's instructions.
When I found out that there was a little palace maid next to the queen, the little palace maid was shaking as if she was sifting something, very powerful.
Xia Zihan and the emperor both found out.
The emperor was not stupid. He immediately ordered the guards to arrest the little palace maid.
The little palace maid was so frightened that her knees bent and she knelt down to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, slave... I haven't done anything. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"You didn't do anything, why are you so scared?" The emperor looked at her coldly, his tone also very cold.
The little palace maid could not help but shudder, and then she lay on the ground, trembling, and did not dare to tell the reason.
The emperor snorted and ordered the guards to drag her aside for questioning.
The little girl kept crying until she cried hoarsely and her heart was broken. Finally, the emperor was so angry that he ordered someone to slap her several times.
