Chapter 48 (23) The princess is poisoned and the harem is shocked
[The king is driving in Shengjing, the palace should have been peaceful;]

[The princess died of poisoning suddenly, the harem was shocked and panicked. 】

The emperor, empress dowager, and empress dowager in the palace are gone, and Kunning Palace and Zhongcui Palace are usually on their own, and they don’t communicate very much. Gai Ronger in Kunning Palace only occasionally chats with Zhang Leqi and Yin Ruolan , the harem is very peaceful, Rong'er has nothing to do except to take care of Chenghu with the nanny every day, the queen is not here, she really feels bored, caressing her belly that is getting bigger day by day, Rong'er really misses the emperor According to the time estimated by the imperial doctor, Rong'er's child should be born after the emperor came back, but Rong'er was also worried that there would be something on the emperor's way that would delay his return to Beijing.

In the blink of an eye, it was October, and Su Ya hurried to Rong'er's room that day, Rong'er was taking a nap, and Xiaoqing was waiting beside her and hurriedly stopped her: "Su Ya, master is resting, you are so flustered and noisy With the master."

Su Ya pulled Xiaoqing and said, "Quick... wake up Master Rong, something happened to Princess Kehui."

As soon as Su Ya entered the door, she woke up Gai Rong'er. Hearing that something happened to Kehui, Rong'er hurriedly got up and asked, "What's wrong with Kehui?"

"Master Rong, go and have a look, the princess suddenly turned pale, her mouth turned blue, she kept vomiting and diarrhea." Su Ya said anxiously.

"Why is this happening so well, have you passed on the imperial doctor?" Xiaoqing helped Rong'er get out of bed hurriedly.

"It has been passed on. The servant has just passed on the imperial doctor and rushed over to inform Young Master Rong. Now I will go to inform Master Concubine Zhao. The servant will leave first." Su Ya turned around and ran out after finishing speaking.

Gai Ronger, with her big belly, said to Xiaoqing beside her: "Let's go and have a look." I watched Kehui yesterday, and she was obviously fine and refreshed, so why is it like this today.

When Rong'er came to Zhang Leqi's wing room, she saw Kehui lying on the bed with a pale face, and the imperial doctor was treating her. Rong'er hurried over and asked Zhang Leqi: "Sister, what's wrong with Kehui? I saw Kehui was fine yesterday. "

Zhang Leqi shook her head: "I don't know, it was fine at noon, but it just happened suddenly."

The imperial doctor looked at Zhang Leqi and asked: "My lord, what can the princess eat today?"

Zhang Leqi thought about it and said: "At noon, I fed some of my meal to Kehui, but Kehui didn't eat well, so I asked the imperial dining room to cook soy milk for her to drink."

"Is the young master feeling unwell?" the imperial doctor continued to ask.

"I'm fine, there's no problem at all, what's going on here." Zhang Leqi asked anxiously.

"Well, back to my lord, according to what I saw, the princess' symptoms are symptoms of poisoning." The imperial doctor said slowly.

"What? Poisoned?" Gai Ronger and Zhang Leqi were shocked at the same time, "How could they be poisoned?"

"It's difficult for this minister to judge the poison just by looking at the disease, but according to what Zhang Xiaozhu said, the princess also ate what the princess ate, and the little master is fine, but the princess is, so it should not be in the lunch food." The imperial doctor frowned and said.

"Is that soy milk?" Zhang Leqi hurriedly saw Sun Xiaoqiao who was waiting beside her: "Xiaoqiao, you went to the imperial dining room to get this soy milk yourself."

"Back to the master, the master said that soybean milk is nutritious and asked the imperial dining room to cook it. The servant girl went to order and watched the master of the imperial dining room grind the beans and cooked the soybean milk. The servant girl brought it herself." Sun Xiaoqiao was anxious Explanation.

The imperial doctor nodded and said: "According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica": Soybean milk can benefit Qi and enter the water, control wind-heat, and detoxify. It is suitable for princesses to drink."

Seeing Kehui's non-stop vomiting, Rong'er interrupted and said, "Physician, it's better to save people first. You see Kehui is like this, so hurry up and take medicine."

The imperial doctor next to him was already sweating profusely on his forehead, and hurriedly replied: "My lord, it's not that I don't use the medicine, but that I can't find the cause of the poisoning, I can't use the medicine, please pass on the instructions from the Tai Hospital again, my lord." The imperial physician is here."

After hearing this, Rong'er hurriedly called Xiaoqing to go to the imperial hospital and send the imperial doctor over.

At this time, Zhang Leqi looked at her daughter like this, walking back and forth anxiously, wondering where the poison came from: "Xiaoqiao, Kehui has been in this room all this time, right? I don't remember Kehui going out."

"Return to master, today the princess has been staying with master in the house." Sun Xiaoqiao hurriedly replied.

"No one came in this room today. How did Kehui get poisoned? Who did it? Who do I have a grudge against? Who wants to harm our mother and daughter like this?" Zhang Leqi said with tears in her eyes. Get out.

Seeing this, Gai Rong'er also felt very strange, how could someone poison in this palace, this was something she had never thought about, at this moment, Wen Xun's Concubine Zhao came over, after all the queen was not here, Zhao Concubine in the harem The concubine is in charge.

Concubine Zhao came to see Kehui like this, Rong'er explained the whole situation to Concubine Zhao in detail, and Concubine Zhao was also shocked when she heard that she was poisoned. The Empress Dowager and the Empress are not here, what should I do if such a big event happened in the palace, panic appeared in my eyes, Concubine Zhao was young after all, Rong'er said softly: "Concubine Zhao, according to my concubine, invite the head of the House of Internal Affairs to come over This matter should be handed over to the Shangfang Court for strict investigation, okay?"

Concubine Zhao has lost her mind, upon hearing what Rong'er said, she nodded her head hurriedly, and ordered the maids around her to recruit the head of the House of Internal Affairs.

After a while, two more imperial physicians came, and the three imperial physicians circled around the princess for a long time to diagnose and treat, but they still couldn't determine the poison, and said that they could only prescribe some commonly used antidote first, but they couldn't guarantee the right treatment. .Zhang Leqi was already in tears, she didn't expect that Kehui's poison would not know how to get rid of it, now that Kehui is her only sustenance, she was suddenly very scared.

The head of the House of Internal Affairs brought the doctor of Shangfangyuan to arrive a moment later, Rong'er told them the details, and they were all shocked when they heard that the princess had been poisoned, Concubine Zhao ordered them to investigate carefully, if they couldn't find out, the emperor would definitely punish them severely.They received the decree and asked the palace lady Sun Xiaoqiao about the situation, then they all retreated, saying that they had to go to the imperial dining room to check first.

Gai Rong'er returned to her room late at night, feeling exhausted physically and mentally. Zhang Leqi was still crying to take care of Kehui. The father-in-law of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was accompanying the imperial doctor to continue the consultation. Kehui's condition still did not improve. Kehui Such a big thing happened, what is going on here, how can a good person be poisoned, Kehui is so well-behaved, I just hope that God will not treat Kehui like Chengrui and Chengqing, it will be fine, It will be fine, Rong'er said silently in his heart.

Since the cause of the poison could not be found, Kehui died three days later. The emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager were not there. He hurriedly came to discuss with Rong'er, and the cause of the poisoning was still under investigation by the Shang Fang Yuan.The Princess' funeral was handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the news of the princess's death from poisoning was immediately transmitted to Shengjing, waiting for the emperor to send a decree to come back.A few days later, news from Shengjing came back, saying that the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager were very sad when they heard that the princess had passed away. Who did it? In addition, it will take time for the emperor, empress dowager, and empress dowager to return to the palace, so concubine Zhao and Rongchang should take care of the matter in the harem.

Kehui died, and Zhang Leqi sat quietly all day long, not like Rong'er and Huigui who lost their princes, but just sat there without speaking or moving, Rong'er knew The number of times the emperor summoned her was very few. Kehui was her all sustenance. Now that Kehui died, she didn't cry, but held back. She was ill, so even though Rong'er was eight months pregnant, she still went to comfort her every day with her belly up, even if it was a big cry.

Rong'er really couldn't figure out who poisoned her. Zhang Leqi has been keeping a low profile for more than two years since she had Kehui, and she rarely left Kunning Palace. there.
