The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

This time the evidence is conclusive and there can be no more mistakes. The emperor immediately ordered people to interrogate him, but Lu'an refused to say anything. Even though he was beaten to pieces, he still only said one sentence repeatedly: "It's the villain who has deceived his heart. This is all the villain's fault. The emperor chopped him off." A human head!”

This Lu'an is different from Wang An. Wang An is already the eunuch second only to Eunuch Wei. If he is said to have the ability to obtain this secret medicine from the Western Regions, the emperor will believe it; but Lu'an is just a rough man who cleans tea cups. Eunuch, will he be able to get this secret medicine from the Western Regions? Neither the emperor nor the queen mother believed it.

The emperor said with great certainty: "There must be someone behind this Lu'an."

The Queen Mother turned the Buddhist beads on her wrist and squinted her eyes slightly: "The mastermind behind this is really smart. He actually chose a young eunuch who cleans the tea cups to give the emperor medicine. He must have cleaned the tea cups and then This colorless and odorless secret medicine from the Western Regions was applied to the inner wall of the tea cup. If not for the imaging agent from Divine Doctor Tan, who would have discovered it?"

They all understand the truth, but they can't pry Lu'an's mouth off. What can they do? The Queen Mother and the Emperor were at a loss what to do, and the matter reached a deadlock.

At this time, Dong Yi asked to see him.

The little prince's illness was also the emperor's biggest concern, so even though he was still worried about giving the medicine, he immediately ordered someone to bring Dong Yi in and asked: "Have you gone to see Princess Yingchuan? Is Princess Yingchuan good?" Can cure the little prince’s illness:”

Dong Yi said: "Back to the emperor, Princess Yingchuan was not sure what disease the young prince was suffering from, but she only gave a possible effective treatment plan."

Can not be sure? Might it work? The emperor was greatly disappointed.

Dong Yi then added: "But Princess Yingchuan discovered something fishy and wanted to ask the emperor to make a decision."

"What's weird? Tell me quickly." The emperor asked.

Dong Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you call Concubine De, the young prince's wet nurses, and Doctor Chunxiao first, and I will speak in front of them."

What's so strange about having to mobilize so many people? The emperor was full of suspicion, but he still followed Dong Yi's words and called all these people.

As soon as Concubine De entered the Yangxin Hall, she was busy reporting the good news to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Princess Yingchuan asked Dr. Chunxiao to stop the little prince's milk and switch to glucose. The little prince's condition has improved greatly."

When the emperor heard this, he became even more confused and asked Dong Yi: "Isn't this little prince's condition improved? Why do you still say there is something fishy?"

Dong Yi cupped his hands and said: "Today, when Dr. Chunxiao asked the nurse to feed glucose to the little prince, something happened. The nurse actually used an unclean spoon to feed glucose to the little prince."

"Is there such a thing?" The emperor's face darkened and he looked at Chunxiao.

Chunxiao nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it is true."

"Such a nanny who doesn't do her best should be beaten to death." After the emperor finished speaking, he still had doubts, "This matter is not something strange at all. It's just that the nanny didn't do her duty."

Chunxiao said: "Your Majesty, the strange thing is that the residue on the unwashed spoon is honey, and it is wild honey."

"So what if it's wild honey?" The emperor still didn't understand.

Chunxiao explained: "Your Majesty, although wild honey is a good thing, it is not suitable for children under one year old. The little prince is only three months old. After taking wild honey, a three-month-old baby is likely to cause nausea and vomiting. , this is consistent with the illness of the little prince in the past two days, so Princess Yingchuan suspects that the illness of the little prince is man-made, and someone gave him wild honey in the past two days."

"Oh?" The emperor looked at Concubine De.

Concubine De immediately defended: "Your Majesty, in the past two days, the little prince has almost lived under the eyes of the imperial physician and the female doctors of Mingche Medical Center. You might as well ask them, who has fed the little prince any honey? Today, my mother... I was careless and used an unclean spoon for the little prince. This was due to my lax supervision. I am willing to accept the punishment, but because of this, I can't blame the little prince's illness on wild honey, right? Didn't Princess Yingchuan fail to find out the real cause of the little prince's illness, so she made it up at random to prevent the emperor from blaming the female doctors at Mingche Medical Center? Really, the emperor had no such intention, so why did Princess Yingchuan do this? "

The emperor nodded and said to Xiao Zuan: "I think what Concubine De said makes sense."

Xiao Zhuan glanced at Concubine De and said: "The nurse must have put honey on her nipples, so that every time the little prince drinks milk, he will swallow the honey together. This This is probably the reason why the little prince's illness relapses as soon as he drinks milk."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Did you see the nanny applying honey?" Concubine De said angrily, "Besides, three-month-old children cannot eat honey. It was Princess Yingchuan who said it, but I have never heard of it. This argument."

While Concubine De tried her best to refute Chunxiao, she also tried her best to defend the nanny. The emperor thought that her attitude was a bit extreme and looked at her in surprise.

Concubine De realized this and immediately said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the little prince has disturbed the eyes of many people since he was born. I believe that many people want to murder him, but I really have no idea. I’ve heard that honey can kill people.”

The emperor thought for a moment and asked Dong Yi: "Have you ever heard before today that children under one year old cannot eat honey?"

Dong Yi did not dare to hide it: "Today is the first time I have heard of it."

"Look, even the envoy from Dongyuan has never heard of it." Concubine De was very proud and added, "I remember that when my nephew was just born, he drank honey water and there was nothing wrong with it. , If you don’t believe me, call my concubine’s brother and ask.”

The emperor nodded slowly: "I also know that there are many children who drink honey water. They are all under one year old, but I have never heard of anyone getting sick because of this."

When Dong Yi heard what the emperor said, he couldn't help but secretly thought that Ye Yuxiao was really good at predicting things. With Concubine De's sweet words, the emperor really didn't believe that the cause of the little prince's illness was honey.

Fortunately, he listened to Ye Yuxiao's words and waited until Tan Shizhao helped the emperor find out about the tea cup's drugging before he asked to see him. Dong Yi thought to himself and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, don't blame me for talking too much. Just think about what happened yesterday. Princess Yingchuan is about to give birth, and the little prince will fall ill immediately; the little prince will fall ill with his front feet, and your back feet will be injured." Someone was drugged. The timing is perfectly connected."

The word "drug" quickly made the emperor think. According to the Empress Dowager, Ye Yuxiao had an attack at the beginning of Shen yesterday; the little prince got sick at 3 o'clock in Shen Shi, and he suddenly fell asleep during Shen Zheng... This link is indeed suspicious, and even more disturbing. What makes people suspicious is that Lu'an drugged him, why was it just to make him fall asleep? For normal rebellion, shouldn't he be killed directly?

Could it be that the purpose of the person who administered the medicine was not for him, but to take advantage of his impoverished situation to cause trouble with his imperial edict and cut off the lives of Ye Yuxiao, mother and son? The more the emperor thought about it, the more he realized that there was no problem with this logic. He looked at Concubine De coldly: "Did you say it yourself, or did I order someone to torture you?"
