Chapter 229 Knocking on the Mountain and Shocking the Tiger
"What?" Hyman was surprised.
"I said Aunt Han had left yesterday. She was poisoned and felt that she had no time and wanted to go home for retirement, so she pleaded with her mother and let her go out of the palace!"
"Do you know where Aunt Han's house is?"
"I don't know!" The maid shook her head, "Aunt Han never said it, but maybe the Empress knows it."
Hyman asked many people, and only learned from Ye Er that Aunt Han's hometown seemed to be in a strange city far away. Aunt Han has been out of the palace for a day and a night, and I'm afraid it's too late to chase her. After all, she only has three days.
This clue is gone, and the only thing that can be investigated is poison mushrooms. Whether it is poison or poisonous grass and poisonous mushrooms, it is taboo in the palace. Generally, it is not easy for palace people to get this, and they may be able to find out something.
She doesn't know much about poisonous mushrooms, so she has to ask Tang Nian for help.
"Oh, oh, it seems that I really have a tacit understanding with you!" Tang Nian listened to her explanation and smiled proudly twice. "I have investigated that the poisonous mushroom in the fish belly is called hairy mushroom. After eating it, it will cause gastrointestinal colic, facial convulsions, tears, sweating and drooling. In severe cases, the whole body will convuls and even fall into a coma!"
"Brother Tang, do you know where there is this poisonous mushroom in the palace?"
Tang Nian shook his head and said, "This is not good. Although this is a palace, it is not isolated from the outside world. There are a large number of chariots and horses coming in and out every day. It is not impossible to bring them in. It is really difficult to check this.
"Yes!" Hyman's eyes dimmed, and it seemed that the clue was also broken.
"Don't worry, I'll check it for you to see if there are any clues!" Tang Nian patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.
Hyman nodded, "Then trouble Brother Tang!" Suddenly remembered something, "Das, Brother Tang, on the day of my accident, a Han aunt in Changqing Palace suddenly fainted, and a doctor went to treat her. Can you help me ask which imperial doctor passed there, how Han Gu was poisoned, and what poison was in it?
"No problem, no problem, I'll ask for you!" Tang Nianman agreed, "I'll tell you when you're ready. Go back first!"
"Hmm!" Hyman nodded and thought for a moment. Even if he found out how Aunt Han was poisoned, I'm afraid it was not evidence. If he wanted to correct the poisoned man, he had to make a fierce move. "Brother Tang, can you help me get some mushrooms?"
"What are you going to do?" Tang Nian became vigilant, "Now the emperor suspects that you have poisoned. Not only do you not avoid suspicion, but also want to make hairy mushrooms for others to grab the handle?"
Heman knew what he was worried about, "Brother Tang, don't worry, I'm measured. The emperor gave me three days to investigate, but he didn't say how to investigate. If I am really condemned for that thing, you can prove it for me! There is no other way to prove my innocence than this method!"
Tang Nian listened to her and hesitated for a long time before nodding, "Okay, I'll find a way to do it for you. But you should be careful not to be seen by others. Who knows which bad-hearted person will stab you in the back!"
"I know!" Hyman looked at him gratefully.
Wen Caiqing stepped into Shou'an Palace. Seeing a sneer in Queen Su's eyes, she felt that there would be nothing good today. She went to see the ceremony, sat down, and chatted a few words. Queen Su really opened her mouth.
"I heard that the emperor released the palace man and asked her to investigate the truth by herself!"
Empresses Shu asked Lou Ming about Jiang Shize's situation every day these two days. Naturally, she also heard about this matter, and she also knew that Haiman said a sentence that made Jiang Shize take the medicine happily, and she had a good impression on her.
"Concubine Li, I heard that the palace man is the palace man who asked his family to release the palace when Qin Guifei left." Empress Dowager Shu sighed, "The mourning family has promised Qin Guifei, and I really don't want her to be the poisoner!"
"I also like her very much and don't believe she did it." Wen Caiqing smiled.
"Of course, Sister Lifei doesn't believe it's her. Who knows who did it?" Empress Su said with some meaning and paused, "Yes, I just went to see Dr. Tang..."
deliberately lengthened her voice and observed Wen Caiqing. Seeing a surprise flash of panic on her face, she smiled and said, "Is it true that I heard that Lifei's sister met Dr. Tang before she entered the palace?"
Wen Caiqing smiled uncomily, "Oh, yes. Dr. Tang is a famous doctor outside the palace. Cai Qing's brother is often injured because he likes to dance knives and guns, so he met Dr. Tang, and Cai Qing also met him several times.
"Oh? Have you only seen each other a few times? Empress Su pretended to look at her in surprise and said, "When Dr. Tang mentioned the expression of Concubine Li's sister, I thought you were very familiar with each other!"
"No, we don't know each other very well!" Wen Caiqing lowered his eyes and dodged.
Empress Dowager Shu felt that the atmosphere was unusual. She didn't know what riddles they were playing and frowned doubtfully.
When Empress Su saw her like this, she couldn't help sneering in her heart, "Well, no matter what you do, your fox tail has been exposed."
The three chatted for a moment, and Wen Caiqing took advantage of his discomfort and hurried away. Empress Su believed that she had a role in knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, so she also left Shou'an Palace. When she returned to Fengzhi Palace, she ordered Zhu Hong and Biluo, "From now on, you will keep an eye on Concubine Li for twelve hours!"
"Yes!" The two answered, but their hearts were secretly crying. These days, they took turns to circle around the Changqing Palace, and suffered a lot from the wind and sun. Isn't it killing them to keep stalking at twelve o'clock now?
Queen Su felt that the moment of her revenge was coming, and she couldn't help but be excited. She was not in the mood to do anything, and she was waiting for Wen Caiqing to take action.
But Zhu Hongbiluo came back to report the news for a long time, and gradually became impatient. After waiting for most of the day, I finally saw Zhu Hong running back breathlessly. "Mother, Chun'er just hurried to the hospital. The maid followed her and saw that she really went to the imperial hospital to find Dr. Tang. The two whispered for a long time, and Chun'er hurried back.
Queen Su's eyes lit up when she heard this, "It seems that she has been flirted with by this palace, and the fox spirit is a little panicked. You two stare at Concubine Li and Dr. Tang respectively!"
"Yes!" Zhu Hong left in a hurry.
After another half an hour, Biluo ran back in a hurry, "Mother, I saw the Empress Li go out alone and went to the direction of the Provincial De Palace!"
Without waiting for Empress Su to speak, Zhu Hong hurried back again, "Empress, Dr. Tang came to the harem and went in the direction of the Provincial De Palace!"
"Ha, as expected!" Empress Su slapped the table excitedly and smiled coldly, "It seems that today is the time for the fox spirit to die. Zhu Hong, you should invite the empress dowager to the provincial palace to see the play immediately!"
"Yes!" Zhu Hong responded and rushed to Shou'an Palace. When she entered the door, she saw that Jiang Shize was also there. She couldn't help beating drums in her heart. What should she say to the Empress Dowager? On second thought, anyway, it's better for the emperor to see it with his own eyes. So he invited Empress Dowager Shu and Jiang Shize to the provincial palace.
There were obstacles in the investigation, and Hyman had nothing to do, so he continued to draw the drawings explained by Wen Caiqing in the room. As soon as two were drawn, Ye'er came, "Man'er, there is a palace man outside who said he has something to do with you. Go and have a look!"
"Who is it?"
"I don't know it either. Why don't you go and see?"
Hyman frowned doubtfully. When he went out, he saw a black and thin palace man standing there. "I'm Man'er. What can I do with you want me?"
"Someone asked me to send you a message!" The maid came over mysteriously, whispered in her ear, and then turned away.
Ye'er saw Hyman listen to the maid's whisper, stood there frown and thought about something, and touched her, "Man'er, what's wrong with you? What on earth did the palace man say to you?
"Nothing!" Hyman came to his senses, "I'll go out for a while!"
Ye Er felt that her expression was a little strange and asked, "Where are you going?"
Haiman smiled at her, but did not answer. He quickly walked out of the door and went straight to the provincial palace...
