Chapter 192 Killing Two Eagles with One Arrow
Zhan Jingxuan glanced at Concubine Zhao with deep eyes, "What else is there, Concubine? If you are not feeling well, take a good rest."
If he couldn't even see this point after all these years on the throne, then he had been the emperor for nothing.
In the past, he didn't care about the turmoil in the harem. As long as it didn't affect the overall situation of the previous dynasty, he would turn a blind eye.
But the imperial concubine should never have plotted such schemes against the gentle and kind Rou'er.
I have turned a blind eye to her problems over the years, which has only encouraged her arrogance and made her so lawless that she even dared to do things right under my nose.
Concubine Zhao gritted her teeth. Was the Emperor annoyed with her? On the surface, he told her to have a good rest, but privately he was reminding her to stop meddling in other people's business.
But this time, it was obviously me who was poisoned! Although it was my own design, Tang Xirou, this bitch, was not necessarily that obedient and soft.
"Your Majesty, please let the two imperial physicians go with you. They can also have a discussion with Princess Chen."
They are sisters, they will definitely speak up for each other, and we absolutely cannot let her go to investigate alone.
Tang Xiluo nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. The two imperial doctors should go with me."
Zhan Jingchen also stood beside her, "I will go with you."
Zhan Jingxuan also pulled Tang Xirou to stand up, "Let's all go together, so that we can have a witness and clear Shi Ji's name."
Tang Xirou also stood up, but her expression was obviously a little flustered.
She pretended to be calm and turned to look at the emperor beside her, but unexpectedly met her sister's gaze.
Tang Xirou's expression naturally did not escape her sister's eyes, and she lowered her head in shame.
Tang Xiluo couldn't help but feel relieved. His sister finally knew how to protect herself. Of course, it would be better for her to avenge herself.
So he gave her a reassuring look, telling her not to be afraid and not to panic.
Tang Xirou also slowly calmed down. She felt very at ease with her sister around.
"Masters, please move."
The two imperial doctors followed tremblingly.
Tang Xiluo turned his head and glanced at Zhan Jingchen, and the man was looking at him.
She pursed her lips, then took the initiative to hold his hand.
Zhan Jingchen was flattered. The little girl rarely took the initiative! Although he knew that she must have something to ask for this time, he still couldn't help but be ecstatic.
The next second, a small package was stuffed into his palm.
The little girl wrote a few more words on his palm - and scattered them on the flowers.
The man was helpless and had no choice but to nod imperceptibly.
He knew clearly that he could not refuse any request from the little girl, even if it meant helping her to lie.
"Ahem... Lei Er!"
Lei Er quickly knelt down, "Please give me your orders, Your Majesty."
Everyone turned to look.
"It's a bit windy today, go and bring the princess's cloak."
"I obey my orders."
Zhan Jingxuan blinked, "Wait, my brother, don't bother me. I have a piece made of white fox in my warehouse. Just give it to my sister-in-law."
Zhan Jingchen nodded. He had no intention of letting Lei Er really go back to the palace. He had helped this brat so much, so wasn't it normal for him to ask for some benefits?
The concubines could not help but be shocked. White fox fur is extremely rare. Even though the imperial concubine was so favored at the time, she wanted to ask for it from the emperor, but was rejected by the emperor.
But I didn't expect that it would be given to Princess Chen now, and it wasn't even a reward, but just a gift for ordinary chatting.
Tang Xirou didn't understand the twists and turns, but she was happy for her sister. She only knew that white fox fur was very precious.
Zhan Jingxuan knew it in his heart. His brother was trying to trick him again! But there was nothing he could do. Who asked him to rely on them for help today?
My brother once said that brothers should settle accounts clearly. His white fox fur! My heart is bleeding. I wanted to give it to Rou'er...
Tang Xiluo blinked, what a good man! He got the benefits without knowing it, it was really not a loss at all, killing two birds with one stone, not only let Lei Er complete the task, but also get benefits from the emperor.
"Ahem, let's go."
Zhan Jingxuan felt helpless and could only turn around and continue walking with everyone.
The small package had already been delivered to Lei Er without anyone noticing.
After an incense stick of time, everyone walked to the front of Tang Xirou Temple, and Lei Er also brought the white fox fur over.
The concubines had no time to care whether the flowers were poisonous or not. They were all staring at the precious white fox fur, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?
The two daughters of Tangxi family are so lucky. Even though such a thing happened to the concubine, it did not affect their favor in their husband's family at all.
There is only this one woman in Prince Chen's mansion, and he doesn't even have a concubine or maid.
The emperor has recently been favoring Tangxi's legitimate daughter Shi Ji.
Zhan Jingxuan turned his head away from looking at the precious treasure and forcibly dragged it back into everyone's sight.
"Sister-in-law, two imperial doctors, please go and take a look."
Tang Xiluo handed the white fox fur to Zhan Jingchen to report to the police. Such a good thing must not be contaminated with poison.
Three people stepped forward to diagnose the case.
Everyone was nervous, and Chen Yueyi felt nervous and gloating at the same time.
It won't be long before the cold palace welcomes a new owner.
She couldn't help but sneer in her heart, wondering how long she could be so arrogant, because not only would she fall out of favor, she would also be banished to the cold palace.
Doctor Liu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this flower is not poisonous."
Doctor Chen also bowed and said, "I didn't realize that this flower is poisonous."
Tang Xiluo also nodded, "It's indeed not poisonous."
"how so?"
"We really misunderstood Lady Shi Ji."
Those concubines who were unaware of the situation began to discuss it one after another.
Chen Yueyi's face changed drastically. How could this be possible? How could it not be poisonous?
The poison did come from the imperial concubine and somehow ended up in Shiji's hands.
She didn't believe that Shi Ji didn't want revenge! Shi Ji had long known that the incident at the Mid-Autumn Festival was caused by the imperial concubine.
How could she give up such a good opportunity for revenge?
Besides, the cakes were indeed poisonous. Could it be that she was really so smart? She only poisoned a certain flower in advance? Then how did she know which flower the maid would pick?
"This is impossible!"
The imperial concubine who was following behind just happened to hear these words, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
She was still worried, so she followed. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she had to kill this bitch. Otherwise, she would be on guard and it would be difficult to touch her again in the future.
Tang Xiluo curled her lips and said, “Your Highness, you can question my medical skills, but you cannot question the medical skills of the two imperial physicians!” She emphasized the word “two” very heavily.
She was reminding everyone that one imperial physician could make a mistake, but how could two imperial physicians make mistakes at the same time? Even both imperial physicians were famous ones.
