Chapter 79 Poisoning
Kunning Palace.

All the court ladies hurried in and out, the imperial physician was still waiting, Wei Yunqing gradually woke up in the evening.

Wei Yunzhu immediately grabbed her hand and called eagerly: "Sister! Sister!"

Today, my sister was reviewing the memorial in the study room, but before she was about to have lunch, she fell down inexplicably and fell into a coma. Now, Wei Yunzhu has been guarding her for a day.

Wei Yunqing was half-supported by a court lady, and she said leisurely: "Everyone go down, Ai's family is fine."

Then he smiled at Wei Yunzhu: "Don't worry."

"Sister, you can't work so hard in the future. The imperial doctor said that you need to rest." Wei Yunzhu wanted to persuade her to take a good rest.

Wei Yunqing sighed and shook her head, her brows were tightly frowned, as if she meant something.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside. An old eunuch from Kunning Palace held a bowl of white jade cup, lowered his head, and said respectfully, "Queen Mother, it's time to use the decoction."

Wei Yunqing looked amicable: "Let's put it there for now."

But the old eunuch seemed to hesitate for a while, as if he didn't want to be put aside, he stayed in the hall and didn't leave.

Wei Yunzhu looked at the old eunuch, he looked very familiar, he used to be with the emperor's brother-in-law, but now he is serving in front of sister.

Wei Yunqing glanced at the old eunuch, his expression as usual: "You go down first, the Ai family wants to have a few words with the princess."

As soon as the old eunuch left the hall, with a "bang", the small white jade cup full of soup and medicine suddenly hit the floor, it was torn apart, and the brown juice splashed, leaving a deep mark.

However, Wei Yunqing felt that smashing the cup could not relieve his anger, so he sneered and cursed angrily: "You dog slave, you treat your master very sincerely!"

"Zhuzhu'er, tell me, where did these slaves who serve us come from? It looks like a royal palace, but it's completely riddled by them!"

Wei Yunzhu glanced at the brown soup.

"Sister, is there something wrong with this soup?"

Wei Yunqing closed his eyes, with a cold light in his eyes: "I have been drinking this soup for almost a year, and I usually don't think there is anything wrong with it, but recently I feel more and more dizzy for no reason. To no avail."

"It's a coincidence that half a month ago, I accidentally sprinkled this decoction in the trough of the parrot in Kunning Palace. Unexpectedly, the parrot ate the feed that was stained with the decoction, and then barked violently, and then convulsed and died. !"

Wei Yunzhu was shocked, who was so bold to poison?
"I asked Cui Yue to investigate, and it turned out that there was something wrong with this decoction. There was an extremely weird medicinal material in it, which was rare. If you take it for a long time, it will make people unconscious, confused and forgetful. This is someone who feels sorry for the family. And the emperor is too smart!"

Wei Yunzhu was terrified when he heard this. Although this matter has been exposed, my sister will naturally not continue to take this soup, but it is such a powerful poison that I have been taking it for almost a year. If the toxin accumulates in the body, wouldn't my sister be extremely dangerous .

Presumably the sudden fainting this time must have something to do with the poison.

Thinking of this, she said anxiously: "Sister, how is your health now?"

Wei Yunqing calmed down a bit: "I have already found a prescription from Imperial Physician Zhao for clearing fire and detoxification, and I take it every day. Besides, this medicine is not fatal. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, and it is not too late."

Wei Yunzhu was extremely worried: "Then who is the poisoner, have you found out?"

Wei Yunqing shook his head helplessly: "Cui Yue is already investigating, but there is still no clue. However, Cui Sanlang is a loyal and benevolent person. If you think about it, with his ability, it won't be long."

Every word she said was relaxed, and Wei Yunzhu understood that it was to comfort herself. Sister has always been like this, she bears any suffering by herself, and always thinks of her wholeheartedly.

There are jackals on the outside and tigers and leopards on the inside. It can be said that internal and external troubles are difficult at every step. If she doesn't return to the palace, she really doesn't know how hot the situation is right now, and there is no one trustworthy around her.

Wei Yunzhu gradually understood what Pei Ji meant when he said that day that the palace was dangerous.

Wei Yunqing seemed to have thought of something, subconsciously sighed: "Actually, I'm more worried about Yan'er."

"Yan'er's soup and tea are fine, but I feel uneasy!"

Wei Yunzhu held her hand: "Sister, we should send someone more suitable to stay by Yan'er's side and protect him at all times, so as to guard against those wolves."

Indeed, she must be on guard.

Then she nodded: "That's right, in fact, sister already has a suitable candidate in her heart..."

Just as he was talking, someone reported outside, and Cui Shaoqing asked to see him.

Wei Yunqing supported his sick body and stood up, but his face was stained with joy: "Say Cao Cao is here, and Cao Cao will be there."

After Cui Yue came in, he greeted him: "I have seen the queen mother, and I have seen the princess."

Cui Yue is a 45-year-old German, a No. 3 Jinshi in the Renxu Division. Since he became an official, he has fulfilled his duties and was excluded because of his integrity.

In addition, although the Cui family is a descendant of heroes, after three generations, the descendants of the family are ignorant and ignorant, and the family fortune has fallen. It has been passed down to Cui Yue's generation, and the previous prestige has long since ceased to exist.

In Chang'an City, where there are many aristocratic families and powerful families, the word Cui is like a mud cow entering the sea, without a sound.Among the current descendants of the Cui family, only Cui Yue has an official position in the court, but he has been unable to be promoted for a long time, and can only be a young minister of Dali Temple who has no real power.

Seeing him, Wei Yunqing asked, "How's the investigation going?"

Cui Yue took out a bright yellow sachet from his sleeve, and presented it: "Your official found something wrong with this sachet. The spices inside contained a medicine, which was exactly the same as the medicine in your decoction."

Wei Yunqing sniffed it after taking it, and immediately said angrily: "A bunch of crazy things!"

Wei Yunzhu recognized that this was the sachet that the little emperor usually carried close to his body, and they dared to do something, it was really daring.

After a pause, Wei Yunqing's face became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "Cui Yue, I called you here today, but there is actually one more thing I need you to do."

Cui Yue said: "But according to the Queen Mother's order."

Wei Yunzhu then asked: "Would you like to be the Minister of the Dali Temple?"

Cui Yue was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood.

Today's Dali Temple is full of people who pervert the law for personal gain. On one side is the chief assistant, and on the other is the flourishing Lanling Gu family. When encountering matters that touch the interests of both parties, Dali Temple will do nothing. If the Queen Mother wants to become her own power To contend with these two parties, one must start from Dali Temple.

Besides, in this way, it will be easier for him to assist the little emperor.

Thinking of this, Cui Yue clasped his fists together: "Your Majesty is willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty and the Queen Mother."

Wei Yunqing tapped again: "There are strict factions in Dali Temple. If you want to gain real power, it may not be easy, and it will be difficult for you to move forward. If you make trouble, you will lose your career."

Cui Yue just said: "As long as I can share the worries for Your Majesty, let alone my future, it is my life. I, Cui Yue, am willing to give up."
