Chapter 121 Shocked! The Empress Dowager wants to sell me!
That was what happened to "Mei Wen'er" after she was forced to have an abortion in the original book!
At that time, for some unknown reason, Ye Chenfeng had the desire to unblock "Mei Wen'er".
But "Mei Wen'er" had just been released from the ban, and at a government banquet, her personal maid poisoned Mei Wenhua!
"It's also bleeding from the seven orifices..."
After thinking about the plot, Mei Wen'er just thought what a coincidence! It happened that she had other ideas.
After all, the so-called substitute maid was not brought over from the Prime Minister's Mansion by "Mei Wen'er" at all, but was assigned by Mei Wenhua!
Moreover, after the maid was caught, she hit a pillar and died. There was no evidence of her death! Therefore, "Mei Wen'er" was put back under house arrest.
"Come again now." Mei Wen'er laughed inwardly, with a cold light in her eyes, but she was already pulled to the Empress Dowager by Ye Chenfeng.
The emperor also shouted, "Royal doctor! Test the poison quickly! Huicong, where are you taking people to see Prince Shenchao and others?"
"Yes!" He Huicong immediately accepted the order and left.
The imperial doctors have also tested the poison and saved lives!
Everyone in the hall sat upright one after another. Some of those who had drunk the ginger soup turned extremely pale, wondering if it might be poisonous as well. Those who had not drunk it were very happy.
"It's not arsenic. I don't know what kind of poison it is. This poison is a bit strange."
The doctors who discussed it among themselves didn't know what kind of poison it was.
Mei Wen'er wanted to break away from Ye Chenfeng's hand and step forward to take a look.
But Ye Chenfeng didn't allow it, and only asked: "How? Is there still hope for help?"
"There must be rescue!" The Empress Dowager, who had recovered from her fright, urged, "This poison is aimed at the Ai family! Wanwan has suffered on behalf of the Ai family, and must be saved!"
"That's right." Ye Chenfeng nodded and said, "Yun Zhong, go back to your house and bring Yun Gu over. She has a lot of research on poisons and may be able to help."
"Yes!" Yun Zhong immediately took the order and left.
When the emperor saw that the imperial doctor had completed a round of poison tests, he asked: "What's going on? Is this bowl of ginger soup the only one that's poisonous?"
"Your Majesty, according to current tests, only the bowl of the Queen Mother is poisonous." The doctor from the Royal Hospital affirmed.
Many imperial doctors came to attend the court banquet today. As soon as the incident happened, everyone immediately cooperated! The efficiency was very fast.
Everyone who heard that other ginger soups were not poisonous felt relieved, but——
"Have all the dishes in the imperial dining room been tested with a silver needle?" someone asked.
The doctor said, "Currently, it is speculated that the bowl is poisonous, and the bowl may have been replaced halfway through."
This possibility exists. There is still a long distance from the imperial dining room to the banquet hall, and it can be manipulated.
It's just that the ginger soup is unified and not only supplied to the Empress Dowager. How can the poisoner be able to poison accurately?
No one understood it, but the emperor had already ordered people to arrest the relevant people in the royal kitchen, palace maids, and eunuchs. As for the investigation...
"The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are cooperating in investigating this matter! The two beloved ministers are implicated, and the case must be solved within three days!" the emperor issued an emergency order.
The Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple hurriedly knelt down to accept the order, "My lord, accept the order!"
"Don't delay, check quickly! The emperor's grandmother has not attended the banquet for a long time, and she was poisoned just after leaving the palace! This is so wanton! Once the murderer is found, he will be severely punished!" the emperor angrily shouted in front of the palace.
All the guests knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager looked tired, "The Ai family is tired, Xiaojiu, please send the Ai family back to the palace, Wanwan's side..."
"Don't worry, Grandma Huang, we will definitely rescue her." Ye Chenfeng assured.
The Empress Dowager gave no hope, "I hope, Emperor, after finding out the murderer, he can show it to the Ai family."
"Royal grandmother..." The emperor hesitated.
The Queen Mother didn't want to say any more, "That's it, the Ai family has returned."
"Farewell to the Imperial Grandmother." The emperor could only say.
Ye Chenfeng accompanied the Empress Dowager to leave first, not forgetting to take Mei Wen'er with him.
At this moment, Mei Xiang has also been protecting Mrs. Xiang, comforting her frightened heart.
Since the prime minister's wife had an old illness, Prime Minister Mei said goodbye and said, "Your Majesty, I am not good at investigating cases. Please accompany my wife back home first."
"Go." The emperor waved his hand in a very talkative manner, "Do you need to bring an imperial doctor back with you?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. There is a doctor in the house, which is enough. The imperial doctor should stay here. It is important to assist the two adults in investigating the case."
"That's fine." The emperor didn't say anything more, but he didn't allow anyone else to leave, in case the poisoner wanted to leave.
The Queen Mother, who had always had no sense of presence, looked at Mei Wenhua who was still receiving first aid with a thoughtful expression.
Could it be that this woman wrote and acted in the current poisoning incident? After all...
This woman was so scheming that she was able to take advantage of her imperial edict to quickly get in touch with the Empress Dowager and gain her trust.
"!"
The Queen Mother, whose heart was beating slightly, vaguely felt that there was a possibility. If this woman really did it herself, then this woman would be really cruel to herself! It's interesting.
The Queen Mother, who had not seen such a clever daughter for a long time, smiled slightly and didn't care about the matter anymore. She wished that something happened to the Regent's lineage. If only she could kill the old woman! That would be great!
"Emperor, the Ai family are also tired, so they went back first. Alas, what is this?" After saying this, the Queen Mother asked Shunde to help her back to the palace. She consciously took Mei Wenhua out of the palace. Maybe it was a good move.
There may be surprises.
…
Wutong Hall, the quiet residence of the Empress Dowager, is located deep in the harem.
It took a long time to walk from the banquet hall, even if there was a soft sedan to ride on my behalf.
Seeing that the palace door was approaching, Ye Chenfeng said softly, "Grandma Huang, here we are."
The Empress Dowager, who had been closing her eyes to rest her mind, looked really tired. At this moment, she opened her eyes slightly, feeling a little dazed, "Do you think that child's life is too hard?"
Ye Chenfeng didn't answer the words, "Grandma Huang, please get off the sedan first. Someone will bring her here later. She will be raised by you. It's a great treat."
With the support of Ye Chenfeng, the Empress Dowager became soft and charming, but she felt that the late autumn wind was really cold, "As I get older, I can't stand such thrills anymore.
Maybe I experienced too much when I was young, and when I get older, I just hope to live in harmony, but this is the palace, fighting is normal, and harmony is a luxury."
"You, don't think too much, and don't pay too much attention. Don't you think you were living quite comfortably before?" Ye Chenfeng's implication was that Mei Wenhua was the cause of the disaster.
The Empress Dowager understood clearly, "Why do you have so much prejudice against her? The Ai family also knew about the incident before, but the fault is not entirely hers, and she has been punished. She was also your close friend.
what……"
"Grandma Huang, stop talking." Ye Chenfeng didn't want to hear it, and was worried that the person beside him wouldn't be able to bear these words.
The Empress Dowager asked, "If it is true that someone from the Western Region poisoned me, Wen'er, would you be willing to take a step back?"
Ye Chenfeng's expression changed after hearing these words! He was about to speak...
Mei Wen'er responded first, "I don't want to."
She understood that the Empress Dowager wanted to use her position as a side concubine or even as a principal concubine in exchange for the antidote to save Mei Wenhua, but it was absolutely impossible!
