Sure enough, on this afternoon, there was a sudden order to interrogate me. The internal supervisor who came to interrogate me was not familiar with him, but the officials of the Internal Affairs Office were quite polite to him. I understood in my heart and did not ask much. I asked the guard for a silver hairpin on the grounds that I was disgracing the temple and simply tied up my long hair.
As expected, the internal supervisor brought me to Benevolence Palace. As soon as I entered the main hall, I knelt down from afar.
According to the regulations of our dynasty, in the main hall of Renshou Palace, except for the queen who can come close to serve, the other concubines can be as close as ten feet when they are not summoned, the third grade and above can be as close as ten feet, the fifth grade can be as close as twenty feet, and the rest must be thirty feet away. I am currently a sinner, so I have to kneel the furthest.
Looking up, besides the Empress Dowager, there was also Rong Xiuyi, Jing Guipin, Lan Jieyu, Yi Wanyi. They were all five levels above me and needed to kneel."ChenQie greets Empress Dowager, niangniang and masters.”
"Yes."
The Empress Dowager replied. Since it was an interrogation, she naturally wouldn't wake up. I straightened my body and quietly knelt by the door. In front of me was the Imperial Academy of Medicine's envoy, but I didn't see Li Rengui. Wenlang wasn't here, so the situation made me a little confused.
"He went to invite the emperor.”I don't know who the Empress Dowager was talking to, but I felt a little more at ease.
Very soon, a messenger came to inform Wen Lang that he had arrived. He hurriedly strode into the palace door and obviously paused when he passed by me. Everyone stared at him, so I naturally did not dare to look up at him. Wen Lang had seen the Empress Dowager and exempted the concubines from the etiquette. As soon as he sat down, he asked,"Mother, what happened today?"
The empress dowager spoke steadily. Her expression was gentle, but her tone was unquestionable."Emperor, Qing Wanyi's matter has dragged on for a few days. The entire harem is watching, so let's conclude it today.”
Although Wen Lang had objections in his heart, he could only agree.
The Empress Dowager turned to look at the Imperial Physician.”
The first sentence of the decree from the Golden Institution was shocking, causing my heart to skip a beat."Yes, Empress Dowager, Emperor, the sixth rank imperial physician Li Rengui was sentenced to 10 days of seclusion and expelled from the Imperial Academy of Medicine due to misdiagnosis and inadequate supervision of the medicine. However, we received a report today that Li Rengui has gone missing.”
The Empress Dowager and the concubines obviously already knew about this news. Only Wen Lang looked surprised, but he didn't ask anything. I noticed the word misdiagnosis from the Headmaster's mouth and frowned. At this moment, the Empress Dowager said,"Continue."
Emissary Jin bowed." Yes. After the Imperial Academy of Medicine's investigation, Qing Wanyi's medicinal soup, diet, and daily necessities were not particularly abnormal. There was indeed something added to the medicinal soup. It matched the medicinal dregs found in Jinghe Palace."”
My heart sank bit by bit. Li Rengui was missing, and there was nothing unusual about his daily necessities. The medicinal dregs matched, and that bowl of bird's nest that I couldn't deny. He really wanted to kill me.
I looked up and saw that Wen Lang was also frowning. He said in a deep voice,"Are you sure?"
The envoy trembled and quickly replied," Yes, I have something to report. These two days, I and the two judges have carefully examined it. The Daphne genkwa and Lobelia lobelia contained in the addition seem to be of no use to the fetus, but they are well supplemented and are good prescriptions for expelling poison and protecting the fetus. They have the same effect as the prescription I recently treated Master Qing. This can also explain why Master Qing's health had improved for a few days because of that medicine.”
Seeing that everyone was surprised and puzzled, the Academy Envoy continued,"" A few days ago, Master Qing's fetus was abnormal. After investigation, it wasn't due to blood heat. It only showed symptoms similar to blood heat. Li Rengui misdiagnosed it as blood heat. The prescription he prescribed was mild and unremarkable, which delayed Master Qing's treatment. Therefore, although the addition came from Jinghe Palace, it wasn't the cause of Master Qing's miscarriage. Instead, it delayed the illness to a certain extent.”
Wen Lang nodded." You're saying that Wanyi's miscarriage didn't originate from the decoction?" Then what is the reason?"
The Headmaster carefully reported: " Replying to the Emperor, Mistress Wanyi should have been poisoned by some kind of slow-acting poison. Although she got better after taking the medicine, she came into contact with a catalyst on the last day, causing the poison to cause a miscarriage."”
Rong Xiu Yi spoke from the side, his meaning obvious,""A catalyst. Didn't little sister Qing not eat anything on the last day? What kind of catalyst would there be?”
" Yes." The empress dowager understood." Did you check Yan Wo?"”
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, there's no more bird's nest left.”
After the Academy Envoy left, my heart was still in a knot. It seemed that most of my suspicions had been eliminated, but in fact, there was still this last important point. If it was confirmed that the bird's nest was the catalyst for the poison, then my sin would be even greater. The person who had deliberately poisoned the bird's nest for a long time was me, Mu Guanyu.
Just as they were in a stalemate, a eunuch from Renshou Palace suddenly came to report that Qing Wanyi wanted to see him.
The people above were all surprised. The Empress Dowager frowned slightly."Call her in."
Soon, I saw a light blue skirt pass by. From her swaying footsteps, I could tell that her body was weak.
Qing Wanyi walked forward and was about to kneel when the Empress Dowager said,""Alright, no need to be polite. Why didn't you come out of Xiaoyue's room and run out?”
But Qing Wanyi still knelt down shakily,"Empress Dowager, Emperor, ChenQie specially rushed over because she had something to report and didn't dare to delay.”
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager looked doubtful and immediately said," Tell me.”
" Yes." Qing Wan Yi lowered her head." Empress Dowager, Emperor, ever since ChenQie was pregnant, she had been careful and cautious, but she still lost her child. ChenQie doesn't dare to say that someone is harming her, but I have to take revenge."
She paused and turned her head to me as if she wanted to see me. I didn't see her expression and bit my lip.
Soon, he heard her voice again." That day, although the snow bird's nest that Sister Yu sent was indeed delivered to ChenQie, ChenQie did not actually take it because her body was not feeling well. At that time, there was no one else in my house, so Xiaohe did not say it clearly when she reported it to the emperor, causing Yu's sister to be wronged. These few days, ChenQie had been unable to get out of bed. Today, she had just recovered, so she hurried over to report.”
Wen Lang narrowed his eyes.”
Qing Wanyi kowtowed." ChenQie's body has always been weak. It is only ChenQie's bad luck that I was unable to protect the Imperial heir. Please, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, stop investigating. Peace in the harem is the most important."”
The Empress Dowager was very touched and signaled Zi Qi to help Qing Wanyi up,""Wanyi is really righteous. She is able to not have any hatred in her heart despite such misfortune and prioritize the overall situation.”
The Empress Dowager looked at Wen Lang as she spoke. How could Wen Lang not understand? He immediately said,""Wanyi's lost son is still able to understand. She is promoted to Ronghua as a reward and has other rewards.”
After a pause, he added," However, this matter cannot be left uninvestigated. We have to give an explanation to the harem. Let Rong Xiu Yi and Jing Gui Pin work together to investigate this matter as soon as possible."”
" ChenQie obeys the imperial edict and will do her best to complete it." Rong Xiuyi accepted the edict." Emperor, Younger Sister Qing is a righteous person. Since Younger Sister Yu has been cleared of her grievances, should we give her some rewards and compensation?"”
Wen Lang was quite pleased to hear this. Before he could speak, the Empress Dowager had already said,""I didn't expect Yu 'Er's medicine to be the right medicine. We've really wronged her and let this child suffer for so many days.”
He looked at me and said,"Come, Yu 'er, come to the front. I've wronged you."”
I took a few steps forward and continued kneeling."ChenQie does not dare to be wronged. At that time, ChenQie did not consider things properly and acted rashly.”
The Empress Dowager smiled." What crime have you committed? You boldly helped people when they were in danger, and you didn't defend yourself when you were wronged. You're really a rare good child. You're really a model for the harem."”
The latter part of the sentence was obviously meant for Wen Lang to hear. The rest of the people were shocked. The words " model of the harem " would not easily describe concubines. This meant that he was going to be promoted.
Wen Lang smiled." Mother is right. Yu 'er is gentle and virtuous. She is good at understanding the emperor's will. She will be a noble concubine of the Jin Dynasty and will be the palace lord of Jinghe."”
When these words were spoken, everyone present was in an uproar. Their gazes all turned towards me. There had been cases of concubines in the inner palace being promoted three levels, but it was all due to the meritorious service of a low-ranking concubine. I, as Wanyi, had been directly promoted to the main position of a noble concubine, but it had never happened before. The compensation for the past few days in prison was too high. Everyone at the side had an indignant expression.
I subconsciously wanted to refuse, but just as I raised my head and was about to speak, I saw Wenlang looking at me firmly. The Empress Dowager's expression was normal, just like her usual loving and dignified expression. There was even a smile on her face. I didn't know what was going on, so I hesitated. Despite my doubts, I still lowered my head and thanked her.
Soon, the Empress Dowager dismissed everyone, leaving me alone. The palace maids who served in the palace also retreated, leaving only Nanny Sun standing at the side.
"Yu 'er." The Empress Dowager calling me like this again made my heart tremble as I looked at her.
The Empress Dowager's expression was calm." I won't ask you how you found out about the pregnancy in the Shihua Palace. You have your own way." Aijia only asks you why you want to interfere, that has nothing to do with you.”
That's right, why am I asking for trouble? I lowered my eyes and sighed in my heart."Because ChenQie knows that the emperor cares.”
The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and looked at me deeply. After a long time, she said,"It's good that you have this intention. It's not in vain that the emperor trusted you and protected you.”
My heart moved. Such things happen in the palace one after another. Every time a few people die in vain, a few people are free. If it wasn't for Wenlang who vouched for me in front of the Empress Dowager, how could I be so easily exonerated and even promoted to a noble concubine?"ChenQie is reckless and truly terrified!"
The Empress Dowager snorted." It's good that you know how to be afraid. I don't want to know what you are thinking about. I only believe that you are a wise person. Now that you have taken the throne, you will serve the emperor with all your heart and maintain the peace of the royal family. Don't disappoint me again."”
I hurriedly replied respectfully. The Empress Dowager said,"This matter ends here. Don't mention it again.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 48PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
