Chapter 167 Ying Luo's Proposal
Er Qing is worthy of being someone who has stayed in Changchun Palace for a long time. She is very familiar with every tree and blade of grass in Changchun Palace.
It seemed that she must have colluded with Concubine Chun, and sent this pot of orchid to me while I was away, and then placed it in the Queen's reception room.
Empress Fucha was talking to Concubine Xian in the reception room just now, so the Empress’ poisoning must be closely related to this pot of orchid.
After a careful inspection, Wei Yingluo discovered that although the orchid was non-toxic, a strange spice was mixed into its soil...
Then, she held the orchid and looked around the Changchun Palace for something.
After hearing the emperor's angry roar, Wei Yingluo reluctantly came to the queen's bedroom.
"Wei Yingluo, don't you boast of your medical skills? The Queen has been in a coma for a long time, where have you been? And you were holding the orchid that I gave to the Queen. Are you so idle?"
The emperor looked at Wei Yingluo's unhurried appearance and became even angrier.
Wei Yingluo put the orchid aside, knelt down respectfully, and said in a loud voice: "In reply to the emperor, this orchid is not yours, but the one that Qing promised to send. It has been placed in the Queen's reception room recently."
The emperor was almost pissed off by Wei Yingluo, but he could do nothing about it because he was just talking about the orchid. He had to ask again, "What I want to ask is, do you know what happened to the queen?!"
"You may not have known it just now, but now that I see you, Your Majesty, I know that the Queen has been poisoned by a conflicting poison." Wei Yingluo was not frightened by the emperor's aura. She looked at the emperor with firm eyes and spoke in a steady and confident tone.
The emperor frowned slightly, and his anger instantly turned into doubt: "What does this have to do with me?"
Wei Yingluo took a deep breath and said directly: "Your Majesty, the scented powder in the sachet on your waist and the scented powder in the orchid mud, when combined together, can make people sleepy."
After hearing this, the emperor's face changed slightly. He subconsciously touched the sachet around his waist, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Ye Tianshi also hurried over. He carefully examined the flowerpot, then carefully picked it up and sniffed the fragrance.
Then he turned to look at the emperor, sniffed the air, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please take out the sachet!"
The emperor hesitated for a moment, but still followed Ye Tianshi's advice and took off the sachet from his waist.
Ye Tianshi took the sachet, opened it, and gently poured out the fragrant powder inside.
As the incense powder poured, Ye Tianshi's expression became more and more solemn.
His eyes widened in shock. Finally, he poured all the scented powder in the sachet into a sealed box.
At the same time, Wei Yingluo also acted quickly. She directed the palace maids to move the orchid out of the Queen's bedroom and put it in a sealed box.
The whole process was tense and orderly, and no one dared to slack off at all.
Ye Tianshi said quickly: "In reply to the emperor, Yingluo is right. This is a conflicting poison. It is not a big deal to inhale one spice for a short time, but if you inhale both for a long time, you will fall into a coma. After being poisoned, inhaling any other spice will increase the toxicity."
The emperor's face darkened upon hearing this, his eyes flashing with anger, and he said angrily: "The person who poisoned me is so vicious!"
As he spoke, the emperor slammed the table with great force, causing a loud bang. Li Yu was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Li Yu, go and investigate this matter thoroughly! Make sure to investigate carefully and don't miss any clues! Once you find out, punish the perpetrators severely!" The emperor ordered with gritted teeth.
Li Yu answered tremblingly, "Yes." He secretly complained in his heart that this tough job fell on him again, but he had no idea what to do.
Thinking of this, Li Yu couldn't help but secretly pray that Miss Yingluo could help him again.
The emperor frowned and looked at Ye Tianshi who was still kneeling on the ground, with a hint of dissatisfaction and impatience in his tone: "Ye Tianshi, what are you still doing here? Go and prepare the antidote!"
Ye Tianshi looked embarrassed and answered respectfully: "To answer your Majesty, to be honest, this poison is probably only detoxified by my master. But he is erratic and travels around, so it is difficult to find him for the time being. This poison is not something I can cure."
Ye Tianshi lowered his head even lower, fearing that the emperor would be angry, but deep down he really hoped that he would be angry. It would be best if he would be driven out of the Forbidden City in anger and stay away from this place of trouble.
However, the emperor's anger did not erupt as he wished, but instead became more anxious.
The emperor covered his forehead tightly with his left hand, as if trying to suppress his throbbing temple.
He stared at Ye Tianshi, his tone filled with helplessness and urgency: "Then what do you think we should do? I can't just watch the Queen suffer!"
After a moment's silence, Ye Tianshi suddenly raised his head, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not. Fortunately, my master once taught me the art of detoxification. I am afraid that my attainments in detoxification are not as good as hers."
After saying that, Ye Tianshi turned his gaze to Wei Yingluo, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but turn to look at Wei Yingluo, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity.
Wei Yingluo hesitated to speak, a sad look on her face, and said in a low but firm voice: "This poison may be cured, but the Queen will not only suffer unbearable pain, but may also be left with serious sequelae, and even the little prince may not be able to..."
The emperor felt a pang of pain in his heart when he heard what Wei Yingluo said.
"I beg the emperor to severely punish the murderer." Although Wei Yingluo's voice was low, it revealed an unwavering determination.
In fact, the poison that Empress Fucha was poisoned by was not incurable. It only took three to five days of acupuncture to expel the toxin from the body.
However, Wei Yingluo did not want to put the matter so simply, because she knew that only by saying this could the person who poisoned the food receive a more severe punishment. Otherwise, wouldn't it be an easy opportunity for those with ulterior motives?
The emperor clenched his hands, and the anger that he had suppressed with great difficulty rose again. He secretly sighed in his heart: This Wei Yingluo is really good at controlling people! She always finds the most appropriate time at the critical moment, making it impossible for him to refuse.
The emperor took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and tried to keep his tone calm. He looked down at Wei Yingluo who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly:
"Of course I will severely punish the murderer. Wei Yingluo, you must heal the queen. After the queen recovers, no matter what you ask for, I will agree to it."
Wei Yingluo kowtowed with tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
However, she did not give up. Instead, she raised her head, looked at the emperor firmly, and said with courage: "I dare to ask the emperor to grant me a marriage with Fu Heng."
