Abandoned concubine auspicious

Chapter 573 Shocked
Looking at Mo Chuge, whose neck was broken at a strange angle and leaning against the wall, motionless, a chill rose in her heart.

Her eyes fell on the severed wrist, especially the blood on the wrist, which proved that the left wrist was severed shortly after death.

All of a sudden, her neck felt a little itchy. She touched it with her hand and felt it was very sticky. When she spread her palm, she saw that it was covered with blood and mixed with some stench.

She raised her head in a daze, and said to Li Jiong who was standing in front, "Master Jiu..."

Li Jiong's shadow swayed and blurred in front of her, her body began to shake, and her neck ached. Seeing Li Jiong's face full of panic, she remembered to comfort him, "Don't worry, Master Jiu."

Her hand dropped.

As soon as Li Jiong turned around, he saw Qin Zhi'er's left hand was covered with blood, and her frail body seemed to be unable to stand upright, and she was about to fall down. Zhi, Zhi Zhi, what's wrong with you?"

She smiled weakly and said: "Don't worry, Master Jiu, I was scratched by that woman, I thought it was okay."

Was it because of this that the woman was silenced?
Li Jiong gently turned her head away, checked her neck, his face suddenly sank, how could this be a scratch?
In less than an hour, the scar on her neck swelled up, and pus and blood flowed out.

This is clearly a sign of poisoning.

He wanted to take out a handkerchief to wrap it around her, but found that his hands were trembling, so trembling that he couldn't even pull out the handkerchief.

Under the faint light, Qin Zhi'er's face turned blue.

With great difficulty, he bandaged her neck, carried her over the wall, and as soon as he left the gate of Jingning Palace, he met the group of patrolling guards. Seeing someone coming out of the Forbidden Palace, they raised their weapons and went forward to arrest them. In the end it was the head guard who had good eyesight and saw clearly who the person in the bodyguard suit was. He stopped his subordinates with a trembling voice and said, "You want to die, that's the Ninth Prince."

Only then did the guards stop, seeing Li Jiong speeding away on the roof of the palace with a young eunuch in his arms, they were all so shocked that they couldn't speak.

In the middle of the night, all the imperial doctors were called to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and even the emperor was awakened. He thought that the Empress Dowager Xiande was ill, but when he found out what was going on, he threw two cups in a row and cursed, "Nonsense, nonsense! ! What nonsense."

After scolding, he sent people out of the palace, called back all the imperial doctors who were not on duty, and sent them to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

In the inner room of Zining Palace, all the imperial doctors retreated after seeing it.

Under the guidance of the imperial doctor, the wound on Qin Zhi'er's neck was washed and bandaged up by the palace maid with disinfectant and heat-clearing traditional Chinese medicine juice.

Outside, Li Jiong sat on a chair, looked at the imperial physician kneeling below, his eyes were full of anger, and said, "Since it is poisoned by hydrangea juice, why can't it be cured?"

The imperial physicians knelt under the hall, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

The head physician is a 60-year-old man with white beard and hair. His surname is Song. The venom is very different from others, I have never seen it before, and I can recognize that it is indeed the smell of the flower stem, but it is much hotter than usual. If it is an ordinary hydrangea, it is poisonous. How could it be so strong? Weichen and others have never seen this type of hydrangea, damn it."

He kowtowed heavily, and there was a plopping sound of kowtowing in the room.

Qin Zhi'er woke up from a coma, and what she heard was the sound of kowtow. She sat up on the edge of the bed, and Xiao Hei hurriedly stepped forward to help, wanting to tell people outside that she woke up. lips, hissed.

Xiao Hei helped her and walked to the outer room.

Qin Zhi'er felt that her neck was not as itchy as it used to be. She knew that the medicine given to her by the imperial physician, although it could not cure her completely, did have some detoxification effect.

She went to the outside room and looked out through the curtain, and saw the group of poor imperial doctors kneeling there, each one looking like a concubine, and saw a young imperial doctor kneeling behind, kowtowing a few times, hesitant to speak, wanting to say He didn't dare to say anything.

She then said: "My lord, please don't be angry, my daughter's injury has been cured by them."

Li Jiong was overjoyed to hear that she woke up, stood up, helped her out, and said, "Why don't you take a good rest?"

Seeing her speaking, the imperial physicians kneeling below were all relieved.

Qin Zhier was helped by Li Jiong to sit on the short couch, Qin Zhier pointed to the young imperial physician behind, and whispered to Li Jiong twice.

Li Jiong frowned, pointed at the man and said, "Qian Ning, just say what you have to say, don't be afraid."

Qian Ning's status was low, and he knelt at the back. He was thinking about whether he should say that, but Li Jiong called his name. He hurriedly got up, bent down and walked to the front, saying: "Ninth Prince, my humble minister I have seen Princess Pingle's injury, it is true that the sap of hydrangea stalks entered the blood, causing blood poisoning, this kind of situation is extremely rare, Weichen, Weichen Su likes to read books, and only saw Chinese herbal medicine in one medical book I saw a commentary by an unknown person in the botanical record, saying that these harmful flowers are made by a special method of human factors. It is said that when the sixth patriarch emperor, someone planted this harmful flower in large quantities. Therefore, perhaps, Wei Chen thought, if we can find the manuscripts that were lost in Zangshu Pavilion before, maybe we can save the life of the Princess."

Another letter from the Sixth Patriarch Emperor?
Qin Zhi'er and Li Jiong looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

At this moment, a palace official passed on a promise, "The queen mother is here."

Li Ji hurriedly went up to greet her, and said to the Xiande Empress Dowager, "Emperor Grandmother, why are you here?"

The Empress Dowager Xiande saw Qin Zhi'er at a glance, pulled her to her side, looked her up and down, looked at her neck specially, and said, "Why is it hurt?"

Qin Zhi'er rubbed her neck and said, "It's nothing serious, there are so many imperial physicians who have diagnosed and treated her, she will definitely be cured."

The Empress Dowager Xiande sighed and said: "The Ai family has heard it outside, and it is the scourge left by the Sixth Patriarch's handbook."

She waved everyone in the room back.

Qin Zhi'er knew that she had something to say, so she exchanged a glance with Li Jiong, and helped her to sit on the couch.

The Empress Dowager Xiande showed a look of reminiscence on her face, and sighed: "That bitch Mo Chuge, who was born in the Mo family of a scholarly family, the ancestor of the Mo family, was also one of the heroes who fought for the great Han ancestor. The Qin family has even more, so it has become one of the best aristocratic families in Korea, and as soon as she entered the palace, she was named queen."

Qin Zhi'er thought to herself, the Xiande Empress Dowager seldom uttered foul words, but she couldn't help calling Mo Chuge like this, obviously she hated her very much.

What did Mo Chuge do to make the Empress Dowager Hate so much, for so many years, to tie her hands and feet with iron chains and trap her in Jingning Palace, making her life worse than death?
"As for the Ai family, because of their family background, even though they came from the Qin family, when they first entered the palace, they were just sealed as a beauty. After three years in the palace, they gradually gained the favor of the late emperor and accompanied him all the year round. But at that time, Accidents happened to the concubines in the palace one after another. Whether it was the Yamen of Dali Temple or the Buddhist monks invited from outside, no one could find out how they died. After a while, a beauty will die, all beauties favored by the former emperor, only me, because of my low status, have not been harmed yet, but at that time, I was pregnant, and on that day, I Accepted by the queen, I came to her bedroom, and only stayed in her bedroom for a while. When I came back, I saw blood, and I became suspicious in my heart. I used the Qin family's secret guards to secretly We found her. Fortunately, the former emperor had long been suspicious of her. After our investigation, we found out that the flowers and plants planted in her yard look ordinary, but they are not ordinary varieties. Just ask, An ordinary flower looks harmless, but it is poisonous, it will kill people if you touch it or smell it, how terrible is this?"

Although the Xiande Empress Dowager said it lightly, Qin Zhi'er knew that the battle for investigation and verification of this matter back then must have been extremely fierce, and all of them involved life and death.

The Qin family has hidden guards to help, and the Mo family, as the number one family in Korea, doesn't it also have dark guards and dead soldiers?
In addition, the Queen's status is noble, and the Empress Dowager Xiande's status was not as good as hers back then. In the end, it was the Empress Dowager who won the victory. It can be seen that the Empress Dowager Xiande was extremely wise back then.

"The first emperor was furious. He destroyed the flowers and plants in her yard, executed and exiled hundreds of members of the Mo family who helped her. He hated her to the extreme. Being trapped in Jingning Palace makes her life worse than death."

Qin Zhier was startled. Mo Chuge was dressed in loose clothes. She only thought that her hands and feet were bound by shackles, but she never thought that her hands and feet were penetrated by the chains.

Such a punishment really makes life worse than death.

Seeing that Mo Chuge was walking normally, he thought he had been trapped for decades, so he figured out a way to relieve the pain with medicine?

"This Mo family, where did you learn how to grow these flowers and plants?" Qin Zhi'er asked.

The Empress Dowager Xiande smiled bitterly, "Speaking of which, it's really an injustice. Mo Chuge was loved by the former empress since she was a child, and she often walked in the palace. She likes to read books, so she often stopped at the library. For some reason, she discovered the sixth patriarch According to the records of those strange cases during the period, there was a case where flowers and plants were used to kill people. Relying on the wealth of the Mo family, she tried her best to recruit strange people and strangers. After implementing it, those favored concubines will all die because of her."

The Empress Dowager Xiande had no children in her life, so she was recruited after all. No wonder she hated Mo Chuge so much.

And Mo Chuge was the imitation murderer of the two sisters.

Unexpectedly, those two sisters had such a great influence, they didn't show up, just a few volumes of the Sixth Patriarch's handbook, and a Mo Chuge was stirring up trouble in the harem.
