PNB Chapter 165 Repeated Rejection
Chapter 165 Repeated Rejection
Wei Yingluo acted promptly and asked the little medicine boy to sign a confession and keep the evidence for future use in accusing Liu Baizhi.
However, Wei Yingluo still had difficulty making an accurate judgment about Liu Baizhi. If Liu Baizhi really wanted to frame her, she could have chosen to use aconite powder instead of such a conspicuous aconite block.
However, she still sent someone to poison her, which shows that she could not escape responsibility for murdering the queen.
Wei Yingluo knew very well that the poisoning with Aconitum was probably just a cover to make her let down her guard.
In the future, there will surely be more conspiracies and tricks waiting for him and Changchun Palace, like carefully laid traps, just waiting for them to fall into them.
However, what she had not expected was that the trap came so quickly... Wei Yingluo secretly warned herself that she must remain calm at this moment. Only in this way could she better use the poison identification method taught by her master and find out the problem as soon as possible.
"No, I can't leave. Since I am innocent, why should I leave?" Concubine Xian decisively rejected Wei Yingluo, frowning, and began to recall the situation when she met Concubine Chun today.
After hearing this, Wei Yingluo didn't say much, but just looked at Concubine Xian quietly. She knew Concubine Xian's character, once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change.
"Then please sit for a while, Empress Xian." Wei Yingluo's tone was extremely respectful. She had been with Empress Xian for many years, and from her performance and tone, she knew that what happened today must have nothing to do with Empress Xian.
In this case, the person who did this should be either Chuxiu Palace or Zhongcui Palace...
Wei Yingluo then walked around Changchun Palace and began to search, thinking about possible clues as she searched.
Zhang Yuanpan was soon invited over by Mingyu. He immediately put down the medicine box and took the queen's pulse.
But as time passed, big beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Yuanpan's forehead, but he didn't say a word and was extremely panicked.
Because he couldn't tell what was wrong with the queen. Her pulse was very stable and she looked like she was asleep...
On the other hand, the emperor summoned Fucha Li Rongbao.
He stubbornly believed that Empress Fucha had worked very hard to give birth to children for him and to manage the harem, and that the Fucha family should be rewarded.
So he decided to bestow more honor and wealth on the Fucha family to express his gratitude to them.
Fucha Li Rongbao knelt on the ground respectfully and said in a loud voice: "Your servant greets the emperor."
The emperor extended his hand, helped him up, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, I want to reward the Fucha family today. The Fucha family is loyal to the court and has devoted themselves to it. And the queen has managed the harem in an orderly manner! My dear minister, you have worked hard."
Hearing the emperor's praise, Fucha Li Rongbao was filled with pride, but he knew very well that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, and he should not get carried away by temporary glory.
He humbly replied: "Your Majesty is too kind. It is an honor for our Fucha family to serve you and the court."
The emperor nodded slightly to show his approval.
He went on to say: "I intend to grant the Fucha family some land and property to recognize your merits."
However, Fucha Li Rongbao immediately knelt down to thank the emperor and said firmly: "Your Majesty, the Fucha family has been deeply blessed and is already very satisfied. We dare not ask for any more rewards."
Seeing that Fu Cha Li Rongbao refused so straightforwardly, the emperor felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He reached out and touched his forehead, saying helplessly:
"It's okay. Since you insist on refusing, I have an excellent marriage proposal. The Guarjia clan has a daughter who is both talented and beautiful. Why not marry her to Fu Heng?"
Fu Cha Li Rongbao's heart was filled with alarm. He waved his hands vigorously, his voice trembling a little: "No, no, no, Your Majesty, Fu Heng is already engaged, this is against etiquette!"
He secretly groaned in his heart. He had already been troubled by his wife and son because of the engagement. How could he dare to change it easily now?
The emperor's face darkened slightly when he heard this, and he said firmly: "But I think that little maid Wei Yingluo is really not worthy of Fu Heng."
Fu Cha Li Rongbao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He knelt down and kowtowed, saying with great fear and trepidation, "Your Majesty, as a father, I really cannot interfere too much in my children's marriage.
As long as Fu Heng is willing, I have no objection. I really don't want to destroy the relationship between father and son because of a marriage."
After hearing this, the emperor was unwilling, but he didn't say anything more. He just frowned and scratched his head continuously.
Now he couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
At this moment, Li Yu came hurriedly and whispered a few words to the emperor.
The emperor's face suddenly changed. He stood up and asked nervously, "What happened?"
Li Yu lowered his voice and replied, "Your Majesty, the Queen suddenly fainted for some reason and has not woken up since."
The emperor was extremely worried. He turned to Fu Cha Li Rongbao and said, "My dear minister, let's put Fu Heng's matter aside for now and discuss it next time."
Then the emperor turned to Li Yu and said, "By the way, take out ten thousand taels of gold and give it to Lord Fucha."
After saying this, he wanted to leave in a hurry, leaving behind Fu Cha Li Rongbao with an uneasy look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I feel unworthy of receiving ten thousand taels of gold. Why don't you just let me see your daughter?"
Fu Cha Li Rongbao had long wanted to say that he missed his daughter very much and wanted to see her, but he did not dare to speak. When he saw that the emperor was about to leave, he hurriedly spoke.
The emperor became even more panicked. How could he let his father-in-law see his daughter now?
So he could only smile awkwardly and said, "My dear, I will arrange for you to meet in a few days. You go back first. I have something important to do today."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and left, and asked Li Yu to bring ten thousand taels of gold. Fu Cha Li Rongbao looked at the gold in the tray, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Inside the Changchun Palace.
Zhang Yuanpan still frowned and said nothing. Mingyu was so anxious that she jumped up and down. She shouted, "Zhang Yuanpan, please say something. What happened to the Queen?"
"What's wrong with the queen?" the emperor's voice sounded at the door.
After hearing this, Judge Zhang knelt down immediately, sweat running down his cheeks and soaking his clothes.
He answered tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the Empress' pulse is stable... I really don't know why she is unconscious!" Judge Zhang spoke hesitantly, his voice trembling violently.
After saying this, he secretly looked up at the emperor, and seeing the emperor's gloomy face, he became even more frightened.
"Perhaps, the young prince has exhausted the Queen's body. I will prescribe some medicine to nourish her body..."
