NOVEL NEXT Chapter 129: Gift from His Highness
Xiao Jinyu went to Fengyi Palace early in the morning.
As soon as the emperor left after visiting the queen, Xiao Jinyu strode in.
"Mother." Xiao Jinyu was worried when she saw the queen lying on the bed.
The queen had just finished breakfast and was surprised to see her youngest son, "Yu'er, why are you here?"
Xiao Jinyu saw that the queen's face was red, just like his face, and although he was puzzled, he didn't bother to ask.
"Why didn't you tell me that something happened to my mother? Or the prince told me, otherwise I wouldn't know that my mother was poisoned."
"The prince told you?" The queen thought of the prince's initiative to go out to find mandrake to detoxify him last night, and now she was surprised when she thought about it.
"Well, the prince went out early in the morning, and I couldn't wait to come to visit my mother. Don't worry, my mother, with the prince brother, my mother will be fine." Xiao Jinyu comforted.
The queen nodded, "I know, I hope the prince will come back soon."
Xiao Jinyu glanced at the palace and saw that there were no outsiders. He leaned close to the queen's ear and whispered, "Mother, you were poisoned by the chronic poison because of the incense in your palace. Someone poisoned the incense."
The queen looked at the incense burner beside the bed. Incense must be lit every day. If the incense was poisoned, it would not be easy to find.
The incense has always been taken care of by Qingying. Qingying is her dowry maid and has been with her for many years. It can't be her.
She looked at her son in confusion, "Yu'er, how do you know there is something wrong with the incense?"
Xiao Jinyu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It was the prince who said that he asked you to check who the incense passed through. It is most important to catch the person who poisoned it."
The queen didn't expect the prince to be so careful. She called Qingying and said, "Change the incense."
"I know." Even if the queen didn't say it clearly, Qingying guessed it. She took the order and left, extinguished the lit incense, and replaced it with an incense that was not often used.
The queen said, "Now the three palaces and six courtyards probably know that I was poisoned. They dare not take action now. When the prince comes back, I will be safe and sound, and the person who poisoned me will definitely be restless."
Xiao Jinyu said, "That's what the prince brother said."
Xiao Jinyan led people out of the palace before dawn and divided them into several groups to look for Mandragora.
Finally, two days later, he brought Mandragora back.
After Mandragora was found, he immediately gave it to the imperial physician to prepare an antidote.
After the queen drank the antidote, the imperial physician re-diagnosed her pulse and confirmed that the poison was completely eliminated.
"Queen, the poison has been completely eliminated, and there is no danger." The imperial physician said with a faint smile.
The queen heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She looked up at the prince standing beside the bed and said with relief: "This time it was all thanks to the prince for finding the antidote in time. The prince has been tired these two days."
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyebrows and nodded: "These are what my son should do. I am relieved that my mother is safe and sound."
Although the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards and many beauties.
But there is only one queen. When the emperor was still the prince, the queen, as the princess, always accompanied him, restrained her temper, and took care of the affairs of the East Palace for him.
Until the emperor ascended the throne, the princess became the queen and the emperor's first wife. From the East Palace to the harem, she managed everything in an orderly manner.
It is naturally a happy thing that the queen is fine.
When the emperor looked at the prince, his eyes were full of appreciation: "The prince's ability to do things is getting stronger and stronger. He is worthy of being my son."
Xiao Jinyan bowed and saluted: "Thank you, father, for your praise."
After spending a few days in peace, the poisoning incident was also settled.
The queen ordered: "Qingying, check who has handled the incense?"
After Qingying came out, she checked the incense. There was still some left from the last time. She usually went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get it after using it.
She put the remaining incense into a small bottle, and then called Cui'er, "Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some incense."
"I will get it now." Cui'er turned and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Qingying followed all the way to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and saw Cui'er take the brand new incense from Eunuch Wang.
The whole process of taking the incense was in Qingying's eyes.
The queen asked: "Do you mean that the person who poisoned the incense may be from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
"My queen, Cui'er always took the incense and gave it to me. No one else touched it." Qingying said.
The queen thought about it carefully and ordered again: "Go and check the details of Eunuch Wang."
"Yes."
When Qingying came back again, she had already found out the details of Eunuch Wang.
"Eunuch Wang is a distant relative of Concubine Qi. Five years ago, he got a good job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs because of Concubine Qi's backdoor."
The queen immediately understood when she thought of Concubine Qi.
"Concubine Qi is really a traitor. When she was in the East Palace, she wanted to compete for the position of Crown Princess."
"Catch him and torture him."
"Yes." Qingying brought a group of eunuchs to tie up Eunuch Wang and interrogate him.
At first, he was stubborn, but later he couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave up Concubine Qi.
With the witnesses and evidence, the queen took people to Huayu Palace.
At this time, Concubine Qi was dressing up and preparing to pay respects to the emperor. When she saw the queen and a group of people rushing in, she immediately said unhappily: "Queen, what are you doing?"
The queen said nothing and ordered: "Come here, arrest Concubine Qi for me."
"I'll see who dares to touch me." Concubine Qi slammed the table angrily, stood up and glared at the eunuch who tried to approach her, "Queen, what right do you have to arrest me?"
The queen said coldly: "It is clear that you asked eunuch Wang to drug me. The evidence is here. Do you still want to quibble?"
When Concubine Qi heard this, she fell on the chair in fear. It was not until the eunuch caught her that she reacted, "I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor."
The queen said: "Don't worry, Concubine Qi. I have handed over the evidence to the emperor. The emperor will decide how to deal with it."
In the imperial study, the emperor just finished reading the confession and issued an order: "Concubine Qi is arrogant and domineering, coveting the position of the queen, and is too scheming. Deprive of her title, demoted to a concubine, and locked up in the cold palace."
The queen was quite satisfied with the order. As for Concubine Qi, she didn't even see the emperor, and was dragged by the eunuch to the cold palace.
It has been four days since Xiao Jinyan went out and hasn't come to Xiyun Pavilion.
Shen Chuwei was so happy that she didn't have to learn how to play chess, didn't have to get up early to pay respects, and slept until she woke up naturally. It was so cool.
After a few days of fun, Xiao Jinyan came to Xiyun Pavilion with a big thing wrapped in cloth.
Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan bringing such a big thing, and thought that Xiao Jinyan was rewarding her for her previous contribution.
She stared at the long thing for a while, and knew at a glance that it was not food.
"Your Highness, you come here, why do you bring a gift?" In fact, she was still quite curious about what Xiao Jinyan gave her.
Xiao Jinyan saw her expectant and curious eyes and whispered: "Xiaojiu, open it and take a look."
