Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Jingxuan fell in a pool of blood, and the court ladies and eunuchs were in a mess.

Eunuch Fu also panicked. He had served Emperor Jingxuan for many years and had never seen such a scene.

Emperor Jingxuan was in his prime, and his body was always strong. How could he fall down, or vomit blood?

The imperial physician came quickly, and so did the empress, concubine Xian and other concubines.

Emperor Jingxuan was lying on the bamboo bed in the empress dowager's bedroom. It was said to be a bamboo bed, but it was actually very soft and luxurious. After all, it was the place where the empress dowager and her elders used it for treatment.

As soon as Concubine Xian entered the room, she pulled her veil and began to cry: "Your Majesty—"

The Queen Mother frowned.

The rest of the concubines also gathered around, took off their handkerchiefs and began to wipe away their tears.

The only one who is calm is the Queen.

The queen glanced around and said to the queen mother: "Mother, I surprised you."

At this time, the gap between the queen and the concubine came out.

When everyone was crying and worrying about Emperor Jingxuan, only she still cared about the overall situation and knew to take care of the Empress Dowager's phoenix body first.

"It's okay to mourn the family." The queen mother said with a weary look.

The queen looked at Su Xiaoxiao in front of the phoenix bed, and several imperial physicians in the bedroom, and asked, "What happened?"

The imperial doctors looked at each other.

Imperial Physician Li said: "If you want to return to the Empress, I will follow your Majesty to give the Empress Dowager a pulse. Your Majesty... After taking some ointment made by Dr. Su, he vomited blood after a while... fell to the ground, and his symptoms... ...like being poisoned."

"Doctor Su?" The queen's suspicious eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao's face.

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands with an innocent face: "I don't know what's going on either."

"Didn't you test the poison?" the queen asked.

These words were obviously addressed to the maids and eunuchs of Yongshou Palace.

The eunuch in charge said: "I didn't try the silver needle, but Xiaohezi tried it, but... But maybe it was because I ate less, it didn't show up at the time, and now I feel a little dizzy."

The queen pondered: "In this case, it is not extremely poisonous."

If it was highly poisonous, Xiaohezi would react severely on the spot, and Yinzhen would not fail to test it.

So here comes the question, since it is not highly poisonous, how did His Majesty make it like this?

"How much did Your Majesty eat?" the Queen asked.

The eunuch in charge fell silent.

Eunuch Fu cleared his throat and said embarrassingly, "One... one jar... finished."

"How big is the jar?" asked the queen.

Eunuch Fu silently carried the empty jar over.

The queen looked at the medicine jar that was almost as big as half of her head, and her temples twitched! The villain in my mind quickly fell down!

It's okay to grab Jingning's snacks in Kunning Palace on weekdays, but now they don't even spare ointments?

The queen could hardly maintain her motherly aura.

She took a deep breath and said to Eunuch Fu, "Aren't you trying to persuade me?"

Eunuch Fu cried out in his heart that he was wronged.

He also wanted to persuade him, but who would have expected that His Majesty would dry up a jar of ointment after just running around in the imperial dining room.

I never realized that His Majesty loves to take medicine so much!

Naturally, the queen cannot blame the queen mother.

She looked at Su Xiaoxiao at the side: "Since Dr. Su is a doctor, didn't he tell His Majesty the dosage of the ointment? If His Majesty didn't take so much, maybe the poisoning would not be so serious."

The queen mother said in a deep voice: "She has gone to make medicine for Ai's family."

The empress bowed, and said politely: "Empress, I heard that there is another doctor who came with Dr. Su. I don't know where that doctor is?"

The queen mother said lightly: "He has already left."

There were only two doctors in the first class, and Fu Langzhong went back immediately after giving the empress dowager acupuncture.

The empress dowager's words are very protective of the first hall, the empress is not easy to force it.

What's more, Su Xiaoxiao is also a friend of Princess Jingning.

However, this is a big matter, and in front of so many people, she needs to investigate the matter clearly and give everyone an explanation.

The queen said seriously: "Doctor Su, did you make the ointment yourself?"

Su Xiaoxiao said truthfully: "I asked my master to make it."

The queen was slightly taken aback: "Your master?"

Eunuch Fu hurriedly said, "It's that Doctor Fu who just left."

The queen said again: "What disease does the ointment treat?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Exorcise evil spirits and dissipate heat, dispel wind and relieve appearance."

Queen: "For the Queen Mother?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Yes."

Imperial Physician Li suddenly pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and complained: "I understand, you must be trying to murder the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother was useless, and instead poisoned Your Majesty by mistake!"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him strangely: "Why did my master and I murder the Queen Mother? What good does it do us? In private, we have no grievances with the Queen Mother; Yu Gong, curing the Queen Mother is tantamount to giving the first trial to the Queen Mother." I have created a living signboard, I hope that the Queen Mother will recover before it is too late, so how can I harm her old man?"

These words successfully shut up Dr. Li.

Imperial Physician Wan said: "Then, then you just want to murder His Majesty!"

Imperial Physician Li suddenly realized: "That's right! You hated Your Majesty for favoring Qin Jiang's family again and again, and you were annoyed, so you thought of a way to take revenge on Your Majesty!"

Su Xiaoxiao said unhurriedly: "This jar of ointment is for the Queen Mother. I didn't press His Majesty's neck to force him to eat the ointment."

The queen mother said in a deep voice: "It was given to the emperor by the Ai family. Do you want to say that the Ai family murdered your own son?"

Su Xiaoxiao boiled a large pot, divided it into two small pots, and took one of the pots to heat.

The queen mother just couldn't eat the breakfast, and saw that Emperor Jingxuan was getting angry recently, so she let him eat first.

The queen mother did not expect Emperor Jingxuan to eat so much.

The queen said to Su Xiao: "No matter what, this bottle of medicine was brewed in the first class of yours. Anyone who has come into contact with it or has the opportunity to come into contact with it will be taken to Dali Temple for interrogation!"

"Mother!"

"Father!"

It is Princess Jingning and Princess Hui'an who are here.

Princess Jingning called the queen mother, and Princess Hui'an called the emperor father.

When they were in class, they suddenly heard that Emperor Jingxuan had been poisoned, and the two skipped class immediately.

The queen's last words were heard by both of them.

Princess Jingning said sternly: "Mother, excuse me, I said bluntly that it is not appropriate to make public about the poisoning of the emperor, for fear of causing panic among the people, it is better to send someone to investigate."

Princess Hui'an pointed at Su Xiaoxiao angrily: "She poisoned the emperor, and you still speak for her!"

Princess Jingning said solemnly: "Stop talking nonsense without evidence! The medicine was brewed in the first hall, but after entering Yongshou Palace, it's not like no one else has touched the ointment."

Princess Hui'an widened her eyes: "Are you suspecting that people from Yongshou Palace poisoned the emperor?"

Princess Jingning looked away: "I didn't doubt anyone, I just raised all the possibilities."

Princess Hui'an was anxious: "You—"

"Huian!" Concubine Xian stopped her daughter.

"Okay, stop arguing!" The queen mother said solemnly, "The emperor's dragon body is related to the country and the country. According to Jing'an's words, let people come to the door for questioning, and don't just arrest them in prison!"

The queen immediately got off the donkey along the slope: "What the queen mother said is very true."

The queen mother asked again: "Is the third child investigating the case in Dali Temple recently?"

As soon as Concubine Xian heard that her son had been named, she hurriedly stood up and replied, "Yes, Queen Mother."

The queen mother waved her hand: "Then I will leave it to the third child and Dali Temple to investigate."

Concubine Xian was overjoyed: "Third Highness will definitely not have your trust, and will definitely investigate and find out!"

The eldest prince has been grounded, the second prince is not in the capital, the fourth and fifth are useless... now the only one who can count on her son!
