Not a humble minister

Just when everyone was waiting expectantly for Concubine Xi to tell her where the hair ornament was, Concubine Xi suddenly dropped her head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I seem to have failed."

While talking, he took out the hair ornament from somewhere on his body and timidly showed it to Emperor Wen.

Everyone: "."

Bai Jiuxiao sneered.

Just knew it would be like this.

Obviously, he just coveted Ning Si and found a high-sounding reason for himself.

"shameless!"

Bai Jiuxiao always had no scruples in the court, and naturally he would not hide his words, but speak directly and loudly.

Everyone present heard it.

Concubine Xi's eyes immediately turned red and she turned to look at her.

"I told you before the performance that I don't know if it can happen. It means that I have no chance of winning. I just want to help the emperor and everyone, so I boldly recommend myself. Do I want to fail? Failure is embarrassing.

I, I am already very sad, why would the Ninth Prince humiliate me like this and say I am shameless? How did I offend the Ninth Prince and why would the Ninth Prince target me like this?"

Concubine Xi looked like she was about to cry.

Bai Jiuxiao didn't agree with her: "You said yourself that you were the one who was embarrassed. You've lost face. Isn't that just shameless?"

Concubine Xi: "."

She was speechless.

Emperor Wen raised his sleeves and signaled Ning Shi to move down.

Ning Shiqian bowed and was about to leave when Concubine Xi suddenly snorted, then covered her chest and stooped.

No one knows what happened.

It wasn't until Concubine Xi fell to the ground that everyone realized something was wrong.

Everyone was shocked.

Ning Shiqian's expression also changed.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Wen quickly stood up from his seat and stepped forward to help Concubine Xi.

"it hurts."

Concubine Xi replied hoarsely. The moment she raised her head, everyone was shocked to find that bright red blood was flowing out of her nostrils.

ah!

what's the situation?

Emperor Wen also saw it immediately, his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Imperial doctor!"

The great eunuch Qin Fulai next to him also shouted: "Where is the imperial doctor, Hu Yuanzheng, Hu Yuanzheng!"

Hu Ming, who was present at the Taiyuan Hospital, quickly got up and stepped forward.

When I stretched out my hand to feel for the pulse, I remembered that due to the great defense between men and women, when the imperial doctors usually asked for the pulse of the harem mistress, they had to feel the pulse through a gauze.

He didn't wear any gauze.

The fabric used is too thick.

He looked up and saw the veil on Ning Shiqian's face, and asked anxiously: "Master, can I borrow the veil?"

Ning Shiqian glanced at Bai Jiuxiao subconsciously.

"Give it to him." Bai Jiuxiao said.

Concubine Xi was the favorite of her emperor's younger brother, and she would not care about her at this time.

Ning Shiqian pulled off the veil from his face and handed it to Hu Ming.

Only then did the people in the audience see Ning Shiqian's face clearly. Bai Jiuxiao looked back at the area where the female family members were, and sure enough, he saw everyone staring at him.

Bai Jiuxiao looked grim.

In this room, Hu Yuan was about to spread the gauze to check her pulse, but was pulled away by Emperor Wen: "At this time, why should we spread the gauze? It's more important to save people. How can you still be frivolous with her when I'm here? Quickly detect!"

Hu Yuanzheng was so frightened that he quickly put his finger on Concubine Xi's pulse and examined it carefully.

Then his face changed.

"What's wrong with her?" Emperor Wen asked.

"Back to the Emperor, Concubine Xi has been poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Emperor Wen was shocked, "It's fine, how could it be poisoned?"

Everyone in the audience had the same reaction as Emperor Wen.

Even Bai Jiuxiao was surprised.

She stared at Concubine Xi and saw that her complexion was pale, her lips were black, and the blood flowing from her nostrils was also dark in color. It was indeed a symptom of poisoning.

But all aspects of today's birthday banquet and all the food were carefully checked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she asked Lu Chengxi and Tongquan to confirm carefully.

How could it be poisoned?

And why was she alone poisoned?

Hu Yuan was checking Concubine Xi's pulse again.

"Back to the emperor, if Wei Chen is not wrong, Concubine Xi was poisoned by a poison called 'wrist hunting'. This poison is extremely rare, and few people know that Wei Chen also once got a fragment of a medical book. I’m lucky enough to know.”

Before Hu Yuanzheng finished speaking, Emperor Wen interrupted him sharply: "I don't need to know this, just focus on it!"

Hu Yuanzheng was so frightened that he quickly accepted the order: "Yes!"

"This poison is poison, but it is not poison. If you eat it, it is not poison. If you touch it, it is not poison. There is no harm to the body. But if you enter it from the pulse on your wrist, it is the pulse that Wei Chen just asked for. When it merges into the wrist veins from here, it becomes extremely poisonous, so it’s called wrist hunting.”

The whole audience was horrified.

There is such a strange poison in this world!

Bai Jiuxiao was equally shocked.

She knew this poison when she came from Si Ya, but hadn't this poison disappeared from the world long ago?

Si Ya said that because the method of poisoning this poison was too limited, it was abandoned by various poison sects. Gradually, no one would be able to make this poison.

Emperor Wen came back to his senses with a pale face: "Then why are you still standing there in a daze? Quickly detoxify!"

Hu Yuan was lifting his robe and kneeling on the ground: "Wei Chen is incompetent and cannot detoxify. As far as Wei Chen knows, when this poison appeared in Jianghu, there was no antidote. Because there were few people using it, no one from each poison sect developed an antidote. , and later it became extinct."

No antidote?

The audience was in an uproar.

"What should we do?" Emperor Wen roared angrily and pushed Hu Yuanzheng with his palm: "Find a way quickly!"

Hu Yuan was being pushed so hard that he fell on his back.

Bai Jiuxiao frowned.

If it is this poison, there is indeed no antidote.

She stood up and stepped forward, ready to check Concubine Xi's pulse, but Concubine Xi frightened away as if she saw a ghost.

"Your Majesty, it's the bracelet. It belongs to the Ninth Prince. Didn't Your Majesty say that you asked him to buy the bracelet in Yunlai? He bought it because he wanted to poison me."

Bai Jiuxiao: "."

The whole audience was shocked.

Emperor Wen looked at Bai Jiuxiao and then at the agate bracelet on Concubine Xi's wrist that he had given her before the banquet. He certainly didn't believe it.

He quickly pulled off the bracelet and handed it to Hu Yuanzheng: "Have a look, is there any poison on the bracelet?"

Hu Yuan Zhengcheng took it in panic, looked at it carefully, put it under his nose and sniffed it, rubbed the wall of the bracelet with his fingertips, and then licked his fingertips with his tongue to confirm again.

"Return to the Emperor"

Hu Yuanzheng looked at Bai Jiuxiao fearfully and did not dare to say anything.

"Speak quickly!" Emperor Wen said angrily.

Hu Yuanzheng raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and replied: "The bracelet has indeed been smeared with poison."

One sentence was like thunder on the ground, exploding in everyone's ears.

Everyone is shocked!

Emperor Wen was also shocked. He raised his eyes and looked at Bai Jiuxiao in disbelief.

Ning Shiqian watched all this silently from the side, and the doubts in his heart gradually became clear.

With his eyebrows slightly raised, he looked at Concubine Xi and then at Bai Jiuxiao.

Everyone at the scene looked at Bai Jiuxiao.

Bai Jiuxiao said nothing, pursed her lips tightly, and with a cold expression on her face, she stepped forward and took the bracelet from Hu Yuanzheng's hand to take a closer look.

After reading it, I put it under my nose and smelled it just like Hu Yuanzheng.

It's indeed poisonous.

Bai Jiuxiao's pupils narrowed slightly, and the coldness on his face became even worse.

Obviously, someone wanted to frame her.

"Not a minor minister." Bai Jiuxiao told Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen remained silent.

The dying Concubine Xi in his arms said: "It's you"
