Chapter 422 I Will Give You an Explanation
Jinzhong had just accepted the assignment and was about to leave with King Bahrain when Jinshou came in with two bowls of medicine.
Jinzhong lowered his eyes and followed behind King Bahrain and his wife, ready to leave at any time.
Hongli frowned and said, "Tell the people outside that Concubine Ling is ill and they don't need to visit her these days. Also, tell them to go back to their tents and no one is allowed to leave until the matter is investigated."
Jinzhong responded again: "Yes."
Hongli waved his hand, and the King of Bahrain and his first wife said goodbye and walked out.
Jinzhong took long strides to catch up, and when he passed Jinshou, the two looked at each other, then quickly lowered their eyes.
When he left the tent, he heard the emperor ask Jin Shou, "Why are there two bowls of medicine?"
In front of Hongli, Jin Shou knelt down respectfully and held up two bowls of medicine: "I thought that I would be late when I go, so I asked someone to get another dose according to the prescription and boil it again, thinking that if something goes wrong, I will have a backup."
Hongli's eyes darkened: "Zhang Yun."
Zhang Yun hurried out and looked at the two bowls of medicine following Hongli's expression. He immediately understood what was going on and walked over quickly to smell them one by one. When he smelled the bowl on the left, he paused slightly.
Hongli frowned: "Is there a problem?"
Zhang Yun's face was solemn. "I added three ounces of chrysanthemum in this. Chrysanthemum is cold in nature. Your Majesty is weak right now. If you eat it, I'm afraid the cold will enter your body. Add to that the powerful pregnancy-preserving medicine in this, and the Emperor needs to have sex with your Majesty... I'm afraid your Majesty will die of hemorrhage within six months, and there will be two lives lost."
Hongli was so angry that he laughed: "Great! That's great!"
This person figured out a sinister plan that he couldn't even think of.
He suppressed his anger and asked, "Is the bowl on the right okay?"
Zhang Yun affirmed: "No problem, it is indeed the medicine I prescribed."
Hongli said: "Chunchan, feed your master the medicine, and help Zhang Yun give your master acupuncture."
Zhang Yun and Chunchan hurriedly agreed and went behind the screen without daring to breathe, to give Yanwan medicine and acupuncture.
Meanwhile, Hongli said in a deep voice, "Go, use all the methods your master taught you. If you can't find out today, you won't have to serve me anymore in the future!"
Jin Shou's face was serious: "Huh!"
He left in a hurry and went to the small kitchen, where he first detained everyone and then took Kotoko alone.
This is really true. His brother Zhong only asked to add two taels of chrysanthemum, but he didn't expect that Xiao Qinzi was so bold. Knowing that the emperor was watching, he still dared to add two other strong drugs!
When Kotoko was locked up in a remote tent and tied up, she still believed that she had not been exposed and thought she was just being interrogated one by one.
Until Jin Shou said in a cold voice: "You deliberately made a small mistake in the Imperial Hospital and were sent to the kitchen. The chief steward thought you were talented and could keep an eye on the emperor's food safety to prevent food conflicts. I didn't expect that you were actually planning a rebellion."
Kotoko's face changed drastically: "How could Eunuch Jinshou slander a servant for such a serious crime?"
Jin Shou sneered, picked out the longest needle that didn't bleed the most from the torture instruments, pinched Xiao Qinzi's trembling hand, and said with a smile: "Wait until these needles pierce your fingers, then think about it, do you miss alone, or do you want to kill all your clans?"
Just as Xiao Qinzi was about to open her mouth, she let out a scream and almost fainted.
And this kind of tragedy is just the beginning.
……
At the same time, at the banquet, Jinzhong followed King Bahrain and interrogated everyone who had come into contact with the soup one by one.
However, everyone answered fluently, and for a moment it was impossible to tell whose question was raised.
But interrogating them one by one seemed to take too long.
King Bahrain frowned, his eyes full of hostility.
Jinzhong stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Don’t be impatient, Your Majesty. I thought that this white jade bamboo shoot soup was something that the Imperial Concubine Ling often ordered from the Emperor’s special chef. But after coming to this grassland, the Imperial Concubine was reluctant to use it herself, so the Emperor stopped using it and used it less.
Your Majesty, why don't you ask who recommended this dish and who used the small stove to cook something before the banquet today. I think that the other queens and princes who used it are fine, which means that the medicine was only put in the queen's soup.
And this mushroom soup... must be cooked."
As soon as he said this, King Bahrain's eyes lit up and he immediately began to interrogate him. After a while, he captured a young eunuch who helped in the kitchen and his palace maid, who happened to be the one delivering meals to Yan Wan.
After some torture and interrogation, the King of Bahrain was not good at this, but he found that Jinzhong could always handle it with ease, so he simply handed the field to Jinzhong and watched from the side, just acting as a witness.
When the two men gave a name, King Bahrain stood up suddenly and asked, "Who? Who are you talking about?"
His eyes were cold and hard.
Jinzhong held the branding iron in his hand, and his handsome face was scratched by the splashing blood, leaving a red mark that looked very evil. However, his tone was still as gentle as usual:
"King Bahrain, please don't be angry. I will ask them three more times. If their answers are still the same and there are no mistakes or omissions in the details, then that is the real answer. Perhaps these two people are making false accusations."
King Bahrain felt goose bumps all over his body when he saw the harmless man, and he really wanted to go out for a walk.
Jinzhong called out in a gentle and harmless voice: "Prince?"
King Bahrain said in a deep voice: "Just check it."
After a pause, he frowned and said, "You better be careful. Don't kill him. The emperor may ask more questions."
It has been so long. After the first round of punishment, he felt like the days were passing by so slowly just watching. And the third time... No wonder this man could sit in the position of chief steward. His hands are really ruthless and his heart is really cruel.
Jinzhong bowed respectfully, turned around, stared at the young eunuch with his dark fox eyes, pursed his lips, and smiled happily: "Well, let's start asking the second time now."
……
In the emperor's tent, Yan Wan drank medicine and had an injection, and finally woke up.
Hongli walked quickly to the bed and sat down, holding her cold hand: "How do you feel?"
Yan Wan leaned her head towards him weakly and said, "Your Majesty, I am still here."
Hongli paused, and a feeling of unpleasant bitterness surged into his heart.
She was the one who suffered, but the first thing she did when she woke up was to comfort him that she could still stay with him.
To him, she had never been someone who required long-term attention. As long as he provided her with fertile soil and occasionally trained her, she would always grow wildly into the way he liked.
After a long time of living like this, he thought that with the miracle doctor and the power of the palace, she would be able to live a peaceful and good life for the rest of her life. As long as he turned his head, he would be able to see this lucky star at any time.
He said in a deep voice: "I will give you an explanation." No matter who it is.
