Chapter 225 It depends on whether the emperor wants to investigate
There was silence in the palace. The queen's heart was inexplicably gripped again, but her reason told her that nothing was wrong.
She didn't send that thing to the Yanxi Palace two days ago.
It is definitely impossible to find out.
"Your Majesty, someone put a lot of Indigo in Noble Lady Fucha's pregnancy-preserving medicine." Wei Lin felt relieved. His life, which was precarious, was finally saved.
The Emperor had been looking at Wei Lin on the ground. If he had looked at the Queen like Concubine Hua did, he would have been able to see the momentary panic in the Queen's eyes.
"Ma Lan?" The emperor didn't understand the medicinal properties of Ma Lan and leaned forward involuntarily.
Baoque was a calm and clever man. After Wei Lin checked it, he moved the tray to Zhang Mi and asked him to check it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this medicine contains a lot of Indigofera ovata. I think it's because Noble Lady Fucha used a whole bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine just now, which caused the heavy bleeding." Wei Lin explained.
Zhang Mi, who was standing by, tasted the medicinal juice at the bottom of the bowl and nodded affirmatively.
"But, just now the two imperial doctors checked the residue of the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine, why couldn't they find Alanine from the residue?" Chun Changzai couldn't help asking.
The Queen's heart began to beat fast. She never expected that it would be Concubine Chun who would raise this question.
"Your Majesty, my lady, this indigo grass can also have medicinal effects if it is dried and ground into powder. It does not necessarily have to be boiled in medicine." Wei Lin instantly thought of the indigo grass he had talked about with Concubine Hua in Yikun Palace a few days ago.
It turns out that this is the reason.
However, the number of Ma Lan in the Imperial Medical Bureau did not decrease, and the number of Ma Lan sent to each palace was recorded.
Wei Lin pondered in his mind, wondering if telling this matter out loud would delay what Concubine Hua was going to do.
"Your Majesty, the Bencao Zheng states that Indigofera can cure plague, heat toxins, madness, wind-heat rashes, carbuncle swelling and pain. It is the best herb for treating this epidemic. However, Indigofera is extremely cold in nature. If a pregnant woman eats it by mistake, it will definitely be harmful to the fetus.
"When Imperial Doctor Wen was drafting the prescription for treating the epidemic, he and I discussed it again and again and decided to remove this medicine. We were afraid that the prescription for treating the palace ladies and the prescription for treating the noble lady would be mixed up and the noble lady would take it by mistake."
"So, there is nothing wrong with the pregnancy-maintaining medicine and the medicine for treating epidemics that we got from the Imperial Hospital. That's why we couldn't find anything wrong with the medicine residue just now."
The queen stared coldly at Zhang Mi who was lying on the ground. How could this old bastard have managed to clear himself so cleanly?
It was said so clearly that the Imperial Hospital was not guilty and the imperial physician was not guilty. This was not something that could be made clear on the spot during a tense situation like this.
Zhang Mi had never felt so relaxed before. He told all the things in one breath. There was no need to hide anything or be afraid.
The Queen always asked me to delay Noble Lady Fucha's epidemic and not let her recover. I didn't understand why, but now I finally understand.
It turned out that it was to put medicine in the decoction.
There is nothing wrong with the drug residue. Even if Noble Lady Fucha had a miscarriage, no problems could be found in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
In order to get Zhang Mi to work for her, the queen also protected Zhang Mi.
But I didn't expect that this old guy would clear himself so quickly.
The queen did not tell Zhang Mi what she would do.
Under pressure from the Queen, Zhang Mi just followed the Queen's orders and gave Concubine Fucha acupuncture, which made Concubine Fucha feel drowsy all day long, as if she had not yet recovered from the epidemic and was suffering from the disease.
Zhang Mi didn't know how the queen was going to do it, nor did he want to know. The more he knew in this palace, the faster he would die.
A doctor has a kind heart and benevolent medical skills. I have done so much for the Queen over the years.
In the past, Concubine Xiang gave birth to Wen Yi, Concubine Xin had a miscarriage before that, and Concubine Fucha gave birth to her baby last year. Even though Zhang Mi was greedy for power and wealth, so many children died at his hands. Zhang Mi really felt sorry for his original intention of studying medicine since he was a child.
Concubine Hua: That’s not what you said before you accepted the ten thousand taels of silver from me.
"It seems that someone in the Yanxi Palace did something." The emperor slowly twisted the beads.
"This bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine, from picking the medicine to delivering it to the Yanx Palace, and then to boiling it and sending it to Noble Lady Fucha, has been handled by too many people. Even if we want to check, it would be difficult to find out." The Queen sighed worriedly.
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. The things that the concubines took in, how much they took out, how much they spent, where they came from and where they went are all recorded. When I was pregnant with Jinghe, I helped Your Majesty to manage the affairs of the six palaces. I have seen that the accounts of each palace and the cashier's transactions are all recorded clearly. It just takes time to look through them, but it's not that complicated."
Concubine Hui, who had been silent for a long time, spoke slowly. Her words were clear and distinct, with no trace of sadness or joy on her face.
I never thought that the Queen, in order to lose her prestige among the six palaces, specially asked the Emperor to order her to assist in managing the six palaces during her pregnancy, but now she can be used by me.
"As for this decoction, since Imperial Physician Zhang of the Imperial Hospital has solemnly guaranteed that there are no problems with the medicinal materials in the Imperial Hospital, then the problem must have come from the Yanxi Palace."
"As for who prepared the medicine before it entered Noble Lady Fucha's mouth, and who served Noble Lady Fucha to take it, how many people did it pass through? We can find out by questioning everyone in the Yanxi Palace."
Every word Shen Meizhuang spoke sounded particularly clear and fair in the main hall of Yanx Palace. This matter was not as complicated and difficult to investigate as the Queen had just said.
Empress Hui, who had just been enthroned, was indeed not to be underestimated.
"But there are so many people coming and going in this palace, and no one knows exactly how many people have handled this medicine." The queen still looked weak, helpless, and worried.
Concubine Duan took a glance and then looked away.
"Queen, you have forgotten that due to the epidemic, everyone in the Yanx Palace stays at home and rarely goes out. The staff is simple, so it won't be that complicated to check." Concubine Hua had been sitting aside for a long time and was a little bored playing with her handkerchief.
Concubine Hua and Concubine Hui work together very well, one is good and the other is evil.
One of them tried to find a loophole in the queen's words from the perspective of palace rules, while the other one directly criticized the queen for having a bad memory, making the queen's words immediately untenable and losing face.
"Yes, it all depends on whether the emperor wants to investigate." Concubine Hui said something to the emperor in a neither light nor heavy tone, and the spearhead fell back on the emperor. Shen Meizhuang easily obscured the fact that Concubine Hua's words were directly targeting the queen.
Everyone is just discussing countermeasures, and the one who makes the decision still has to be the emperor, that's all.
Whether to fish out a few small fish or catch them all in one net behind this confusing account depends entirely on the emperor's wishes.
The concubines present all saw it clearly and were just waiting for the emperor to express his attitude.
Today I have made things clear. If I get pregnant in the future, I will have an idea of how I will be treated.
"Investigate, of course we have to." The emperor knew very well that Concubine Hui was complaining about him. With so many women looking at him, he must give them some reassurance.
