Chapter 326 Fortunately, I didn’t send him away

The emperor's face softened slightly after the imperial concubine expressed concern. He took the initiative to stand up and helped Concubine Li up from the ground.

"You have been by my side for many years, and you have always been diligent and diligent in serving your mother. You are also tired today, so go back and rest first." The emperor said casually.

Concubine Li still looked concerned, looked at the emperor and said, "As long as I can help His Majesty, I will be satisfied."

The emperor patted Concubine Li's shoulder comfortingly, then called the people around Concubine Li into the room, and asked them to help Concubine Li leave.

Concubine Li lowered her head to cover the brewing storm in her eyes. When she returned to her palace, she immediately called her confidants over.

"Where is the Imperial Master? After such a big incident, is the Imperial Master still in seclusion?" Concubine Li said in a deep voice.

The old aunt knew Concubine Li's cruelty better than anyone else. When she heard this, she lowered her head and said, "Replying to your Majesty, it is true that the Imperial Master has not yet left seclusion, but he has sent a Taoist boy to deliver the message, saying that it will be as long as half a year or less. I will definitely be released in March, so I can wait for you with peace of mind.”

When the imperial concubine heard this, she was so angry that she slammed the tea cup on the side to the ground.

"Waste! They're all waste! Just start pretending to be dead when you need them!" the imperial concubine scolded.

The old nanny said softly from the side: "Mother, there is a message from the Imperial Master. He said that the skills you borrowed are still there. As long as you are careful during this period, nothing big will happen."

Concubine Li was not very happy when she heard this, but she still had a gloomy face.

"Useless thing! I know how to retreat every day! I have been in retreat for so long, and my Taoism has not improved at all!" The imperial concubine cursed a few times, but there was no other way.

At this time, in the Shoukang Palace, the treatment plan approved by the three imperial doctors who were diagnosed with poisoning has now taken effect.

The Queen Mother finally woke up.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother was able to wake up so quickly because the poison was not deep enough. If it were not three points deeper, it would have been dangerous," the old doctor said.

The emperor immediately came to the bedside and asked his mother: "Mother, do you still feel uncomfortable? Does it hurt?"

The Queen Mother nodded weakly.

"Emperor, Aijia...What happened to Aijia?" the Queen Mother asked.

The emperor said helplessly: "Mother, you were poisoned. Fortunately, you were discovered early and were lured out in advance by the good boy beating your legs. Otherwise, if the poison had entered your heart, you would have ignored the medicine!"

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother's expression changed drastically: "This...how is this possible?"

The Queen Mother had been in the harem for many years, and the Shoukang Palace had been treated like an iron bucket by her. How could anyone do such a thing?

She also couldn't figure out what this man's motive was.

The emperor was puzzled: "My mother has been in the palace for a long time and rarely participated in the political affairs of the harem and the previous dynasty. I can't understand why someone would attack you?"

The Queen Mother held her son's hand again: "Emperor, you must carefully investigate the people around you... Your mother is old and has lived enough. You must not fall for the tricks of these traitors!"

The emperor nodded and said: "Mother, don't worry, my son knows it well. This time at Shoukang Palace, the son may have to carefully interrogate the palace people, but this will inevitably hurt the mother's dignity."

The Queen Mother took a breath and said, "The master of the Ai family has been assassinated in such a way, why should we care about people's dignity?"

Although the Queen Mother said this, she added: "Li Shunfu and Grandma Sun do not need to undergo interrogation."

The Queen Mother turned to look at Niu Niu again and said softly: "My dear baby, if it weren't for you, the Ai family would have been assassinated without knowing it." Niu Niu was still lying beside the bed, with tears streaming down her face, and said: "The Queen Mother Grandma, Niuniu is scared, Niuniu is so scared.”

Listening to the little girl's worried words, the Queen Mother herself was not fully recovered yet, so she was busy comforting the child: "Don't be afraid, grandma will be fine. Grandma will always protect the baby."

The emperor watched from the side as his grandfather and grandson almost hugged each other and cried. Thinking of how he almost sent the little girl out of the palace when his mother was in a coma, he immediately touched his nose with a guilty conscience.

Most of the servants in Shoukang Palace were empty. The interrogation of ordinary broom palace servants was a little easier, but the interrogation of palace servants who were concerned with the things at the entrance was very strict.

The people from the Shenxing Department interrogated him for three days, but still didn't get any results.

To this day, even the Queen Mother is still unclear as to how she was poisoned.

The emperor ran to Shoukang Palace after the morning court. When he learned of the result, he was naturally furious.

"What do the people of the Shenxing Department do for a living? Why can't they handle such a small thing?" the emperor reprimanded.

Qian Rongsheng, who was in charge of the matter, looked very ugly at this time and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the inside and outside of Shoukang Palace, even the courtyard, have been dug out, and there is still no trace of poisoning. , the imperial doctors didn’t find anything wrong.”

The emperor frowned and asked again: "Did you really find it everywhere?"

It was about the Queen Mother. Qian Rongsheng did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He lowered his head and said: "From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, we have carefully checked the food, food, and even the residences of the palace people. Although we found some things that cannot be It’s a humane thing, but there’s really no trace of poison.”

When the emperor heard this, he felt even worse.

"Where is Imperial Physician Li? What did Imperial Physician Li say?" the emperor asked.

The other imperial doctors who did not diagnose poisoning were simply investigated and released, but in the end they were given the title of "not good at medical skills".

As the Queen Mother's regular physician, Dr. Li did not detect any abnormalities in the Queen Mother's body after checking her pulse so many times, so he naturally had to check again and again.

Qian Rongsheng naturally felt very embarrassed and said: "In reply to Your Majesty, Dr. Li is only willing to plead guilty to poor medical skills. He insists that he was unaware of the poisoning of the Queen Mother."

"If we look at the source of the poison, this poison comes from Lingnan. It has been in the Queen Mother's body for many years. The old slave did a superficial search of everyone in the harem, but no one was found to have deep contacts with Lingnan." Qian Rongsheng said lowly. He nodded and said.

After hearing this, the emperor frowned so hard that he could kill a fly.

So far, the entire investigation has reached a stalemate. The person who poisoned the house has been hiding very deep. Now we only know what kind of poison he was poisoned, but not even the method of committing the crime.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent several groups of people to inquire about this matter. Do you want me to tell the truth?" Qian Rongsheng asked in a low voice.

The emperor sighed and said, "That's all, I'll go there myself."

As soon as the emperor stepped into Shoukang Palace, he heard some laughter coming from inside.

"It's hard for a child like you to tell such things to make the Ai family happy." The Queen Mother laughed so hard that tears came out.

The Luo Meiren on the side also covered her handkerchief and laughed until tears came out.

Niu Niu said: "Grandma Queen Mother, this was either my idea or my third brother's doing! When he saw the monk for the first time, he really said that his head was shining! He also said that his eyes were shining. , my parents apologized for a long time!”

The emperor looked at this happy look from a distance and thought that it was a good thing he didn't send Niuniu away, otherwise the Queen Mother would be very sad.
