Chapter 20 Finding the Problem
Within a moment, the imperial doctor hurried over with a medicine box. Gu Yuqing glanced at the imperial doctor. It was one of the people who had just treated Xiao Jingyu.

There was a layer of thin beads of sweat on his forehead. Gu Yuqing guessed that he had just returned to Taiyuan Hospital from Xiao Jingyu's Hehuan Hall. He probably came straight here before he could catch his breath. Unfortunately, he was already over fifty years old. Still going back and forth like this.

After the imperial doctor saluted, the emperor raised his finger and pointed at Dong Ce, "Show him, what he has eaten is unclean." As he spoke, he poured a string of emerald rosary beads from his left hand to his right hand, and twirled them one by one with his thumb. The jade beads looked directly at the imperial doctor's movements, with a solemn look on his face.

The imperial doctor has been walking in the palace for most of his life, so he naturally understands what the emperor's unclean intention is. Looking at the expressions of the people in this room and the emperor, he suddenly felt 12 times more energetic.

It's just that after practicing medicine for decades and being accustomed to the treacherous and dark methods of Bo Yun in the palace, the imperial doctor's expression remained normal.

Carrying the medicine box and walking up to Dong Ce, the imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty, please be patient. I want to take the blood from your right index finger for a look."

If Dong Ce indeed took aphrodisiac drugs, it only took two hours for the imperial doctor to find out what was in his blood.

Dong Ce raised his hand and stretched out his index finger in front of the imperial physician, who already had a half-inch long silver needle in his hand.

A needle pierced the belly of Dong Ce's finger, and Dong Ce couldn't help but frown slightly.

The imperial physician pinched Dong Ce's index finger and placed it at the mouth of a palm-sized white jade bowl. He squeezed out less than half a bowl of blood and said, "That's it, Crown Prince."

Dong Ce raised his hand, took the pricked finger into his mouth and sucked it twice, looking straight at the doctor's movements.

The imperial physician took another slender silver needle from the medicine box, inserted the needle into the blood in the bowl, and observed the change in its color.

While the imperial doctor was doing this series of actions, Gu Yuqing looked at Xiao Duo coldly, and saw that his eyebrows were trembling and his face was gray. His eyes were staring at the silver needle in the bowl, as if his eyes were frozen.

In the last life, after six years of bloody turmoil, Xiao Duo had already cultivated a strong mentality that would not change his face when the mountain collapsed before him. Unlike him now, Gu Yuqing could see through his inner panic and fear at a glance.

Even so, Gu Yuqing did not dare to take it lightly.

Even though the man in front of her has not yet reached the level of proficiency, he has already reached the peak and is invincible when it comes to his dark mind and tricks, and his use of unscrupulous means to achieve his goals.

After a brief intertwining of past and present lives in Gu Yuqing's mind, Gu Yuqing returned his gaze to the imperial physician.

After a moment, the imperial doctor took out the silver needle from the blood, lit a green-white candle, and placed it on the desk.

The flames were burning and jumping, the imperial doctor placed the blood-stained silver needle on the blue outer flames of the flames, bowed slightly, put the tip of his nose in front of the silver needle, frowned and sniffed lightly.

For a moment, except for the crisp sound of the jade beads on the jasper bracelet that the emperor was holding in the hand of the Yangxin Hall, there was silence. It was so quiet that Gu Yuqing could hear Gu Yuhe's breathing beside her. It was rapid and heavy. Obviously, I was extremely scared.

But after a while, the imperial physician took the silver needle, blew out the candle, walked up to the emperor, and reported solemnly: "Dong Shizi has indeed eaten something unclean."

The imperial doctor's voice carried the unique calmness of an older doctor. He bowed his head and did not look at anyone in the hall.

The emperor threw his hand and threw a string of jade rosary beads onto the table. The beads and jade beads collided, and a crisp sound shook Xiao Duo's shoulders.

"What is it?" Xiao Yu who was standing beside the emperor looked at Dong Ce and asked.

"Ecstasy Pill." After saying this name that made everyone in the world change their color, the imperial doctor's voice remained calm without any fluctuation.

What a joke, let alone the Ecstasy Pill. He has been practicing medicine in the inner courtyard of the palace for decades. He has never seen any dirty and dirty methods. He has long been used to it and is unmoved.

The imperial physician could keep his mind steady, but the other people in the hall couldn't. Except for the sisters of the Gu family, all of them changed their faces drastically.

Gu Yuqing already knew the answer in her heart, so her expression was as usual, while Gu Yuhe didn't know what the Ecstasy Pill was at all. In addition, she was so nervous that she had irregular heartbeat and difficulty breathing since she entered the Hall of Cultivation. At the moment, her mind was not on the imperial doctor at all. On this point.

What should be investigated has been found out. The emperor waved his hand with a sullen face to signal the imperial physician to step back. He could not predict what would happen next, so how could he let the imperial physician participate.

Glancing at the Gu sisters, the emperor's gloomy expression became even more unpleasant. Although he had a good relationship with Gu Zhen, the Gu family were outsiders after all. How could outsiders know about things that were detrimental to the royal family's face?

There was a fire in his heart, and the emperor's attitude when speaking to the queen was naturally not much better, "Aren't you hosting some flower-viewing spring banquet? How come he got the Ecstasy Pill at your banquet?"

The Queen was immediately aggrieved by the Emperor's indiscriminate accusations. However, she had to suppress her emotions at this moment. She took a breath and said slowly: "It's my concubine who neglected her duty. It's just that Dong Shizi received this ecstasy pill. It's not my concubine's fault." At the banquet.”

"Huh?" The emperor looked at the queen with sharp eyes.

Gu Yuqing happened to see the emperor's almost knife-like look from the corner of her eye, and her doubts became more and more serious.

"The effect of this ecstasy pill is effective immediately after taking it, but Dong Shizi was still in good health when he left the brocade shed. It can be seen that he did not take the ecstasy pill at the banquet in the brocade shed." The queen said in detail.

"Leaving the brocade shed? Where did he go?" the emperor asked.

"I just reported to Your Majesty that Prince Dong was found in Qihuang Pavilion. According to what he said, there was a poisonous porridge incident in the brocade shed. The second prince felt bored and invited him to take a walk in the imperial garden. During this time, he He only ate a plum that the second prince gave him and never ate anything else. As for how he went to Qihuang Pavilion, he himself does not remember."

The queen once again mentioned that Xiao Duo had given Dong Ce a plum. Concubine Shu immediately picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears and said, "The queen means that the ecstasy pill in Dong Ce was given to him by Duo'er." !”

The queen didn't even look at Concubine Shu, and said in a steady voice as usual: "Your Majesty, I did not point out who the poisoner was, I just told the truth what I heard."

Concubine Shu wiped away her tears and knelt down in front of the emperor's desk. She cried so hard, "The emperor wants to make the decision for Duo'er. The queen's intention is clearly to point out that Duo'er is the murderer. Duo'er is a dignified prince. What do you want to do?" Poison him!"

Concubine Shu knew the emperor's feelings for the queen, so she insisted on clinging to the queen.

Gu Yuqing looked at Concubine Shu who was about to cry, and sighed deeply in her heart, and slowly said two words in her heart: stupid!

At this time, all the fingers were directed at Xiao Duo. As Xiao Duo's biological mother, it was human nature to avenge her son in a hurry, but she shouldn't keep biting the queen, which would only make the already upset The emperor was even more unhappy.

backfires.
