My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons

It was only when Yan Shu woke up that she found out about what happened in court this morning.

Surprised and angry, like Yu Wenlan, she immediately guessed that Taoist Baihe did it.

It's just that she was still a little puzzled. Isn't the demon way in Minyue? A few days ago, I heard that he was chased by Jin Yiwei and jumped off the cliff. How could he suddenly come to the capital?

But the system jumped out and said, 【Because the one who jumped off the cliff was not him at all, he had found a substitute for himself. When Jin Yiwei was chasing that substitute, he took the opportunity to escape from Minyue, and he had already come to the capital. 】

Yan Shu's eyes widened when she heard the words, 【This monster can still find a substitute? 】

System, [Isn't there someone who built a Taoist temple for him? Don't underestimate his brainwashing ability. 】

Yan Shu,【....That's what you said. 】

So, this demon way is indeed full of tricks, and it has created so many evils on its own! Inadvertently causing him to harm so many lives in the capital that were not born in time!

No, now that she knows, how can she stand by and watch?

So he immediately asked the system about the location of the other party, went to the desk and wrote it on paper, and asked Liandong to send it to Qianming Palace.

After thinking about it, she felt uneasy—she was so angry even after she found out about this matter, the Queen Mother must be even more angry, right?

But her boss just finished the course of treatment yesterday, so it's better not to trigger the old disease again.

So he asked people to prepare the sedan chair, and after breakfast, he put on thick clothes and went to Ci'an Palace.

After arriving at the place, the Queen Mother was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't you be told not to come here yesterday? Why are you still here?"

Yan Shu said, "Last night's snow has already melted, and this concubine sees that the ground is not slippery. I am worried that my mother will be bored by herself, so I come to talk to you."

The queen mother nodded and said, "It's hard for you to have a heart, but the Ai family is looking for someone to ask, and I just heard that there are many pregnant women in the capital who have miscarriages. I don't know what's the situation?"

Yan Shu said, "There is such a thing. It is probably the work of that white crane monster. I heard that when he was in Minyue, he used the placenta to make some kind of elixir. His Majesty was furious when he found out. He ordered Jin Yiwei to go and arrest him, but the one who jumped off the cliff in Minyue a few days ago was actually a substitute he found, and this person has fled to the capital recently."

After finishing the words, the Empress Dowager frowned, "What? It turned out to be that demon again?"

Yan Shu nodded hurriedly, "This person is a Taoist priest on the surface, but he is actually a traitor. He has a very vicious heart and a lot of tricks. I heard that a minister mentioned it in the court this morning, saying that something like this happened a few years ago. He should be in the capital at that time, so there should be no one else except him."

As soon as the words came out, the Queen Mother nodded her head, said nothing more, but gritted her teeth in her heart, 【That old thief is still doing such utterly unconscionable things!

Why didn't I kill him then! Dog man, this is all caused by you! 】

As soon as these words came out, Yan Shu frowned

The queen mother used "still working".

In other words, the Empress Dowager already knew what the old Taoist had done back then.

Then, the late emperor should also know about it.

But the system said, [Otherwise, what do you think? If there was no acquiescence of the first emperor for this kind of outrageous thing, how could he, a Taoist priest, continue to do it in the capital? 】

Yan Shu was taken aback, but I couldn't hold back and said, 【The first emperor is the king of a country! How could he allow the old demon to harm his own people so much? 】

After talking for a while, another creepy possibility arose in my heart, 【...Did the late emperor also eat it? 】

System, [That's right, he wants to live forever, since he knows it's a "good" thing, how can he not eat it? 】

"Ouch..."

After the words fell, Yan Shu subconsciously felt nauseous, couldn't hold back for a while, and almost vomited on the spot.

The Queen Mother was startled, and quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

Yan Shu caressed her chest and said, "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable."

The Queen Mother hurriedly said, "Go back and have a rest, hurry up and ask Doctor Jiang to take a look, you must be careful these few days."

Yan Shu hurriedly responded, and persuaded the Queen Mother, "Don't be too angry, empress, it's not a bad thing that the demon is close. Your majesty is wise and powerful, and the capital is well manned. He will definitely be able to arrest this person."

It's not easy for the Queen Mother to be such an absurd and unreasonable dog emperor at the stall. Such a person with a sense of justice must have been **** off at the beginning.

Fortunately, the dog emperor is dead, but her boss must not get sick again.

But the queen mother nodded and said, "Don't worry about Aijia, you are the most important thing now. That monster has many tricks, even though it is in the palace, it must not be taken lightly."

Yan Shu hurriedly responded, and retreated back to Ganlu Palace.

~~

Thinking of what the late emperor did with that monster, Yan Shu felt terribly sick, and even had no appetite to eat during the tiring noon, so she simply ate some porridge and fell asleep.

After taking a break, the sky was already dark, and it was almost time for dinner.

She was still thinking about something important, so she hurriedly asked the system, 【Did the demon catch it? 】

Unexpectedly, the system said, [No. 】

Yan Shu frowned, 【What's going on? Didn't everyone tell Jinyiwei that it's the guesthouse near Sajin Lane? Even the room number is mentioned, why hasn't anyone been arrested yet? 】

System, [I told you that the demon way is full of tricks, and the monster way changed places before Jin Yiwei arrived. 】

Yan Shu was about to vomit blood when she heard the words. There are no communication tools in this era. She can't command Jin Yiwei to arrest people in real time. Now that she has a big belly, she can't go to the scene in person like when she caught the trafficker last time. Time is life now, but How could he immediately catch that monster?

At this moment, the system said something, 【Maybe I can catch it right now. 】

Yan Shu was taken aback, "What?"

Unexpectedly, I heard the system say, [But first check if your windows and doors are closed. 】

Yan Shu, [? ? ? 】

Before he could ask another question, he heard Imperial Doctor Xun's hasty voice outside the door, "Please Concubine Yi, please order people to close the doors and windows, and don't let anyone in or out for the time being."

Yan Shu was taken aback again, why is it the one who told her to close the window again?

Unexpectedly, in the next second, I heard the doctor Xun say again, "The minister smells the smell of medicine outside, which may not be good for pregnant women."

What?

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Fortunately, the weather is cold at the moment, the doors and windows were originally closed, but Lian Dong originally planned to go out to pass the meal to the master, but he didn't dare to move for a while.

At this moment, another voice sounded outside the door, but it was Yu Wenlan who asked, "What happened?"

Yan Shu didn't dare to open the door, but fortunately there was Imperial Physician Xun answering outside, "I want to report to your Majesty, I just heard a strong smell of smoke in the palace, which should contain medicines that are not good for pregnant women. I was afraid that something would happen to my mother, so I hurried Come and report."

In fact, Yu Wenlan had already smelled the smell of medicine in the air along the way. Hearing this, he realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately said to Yan Shu, "Don't go in and out, close the doors and windows."

As he spoke, he asked Imperial Physician Xun, "Do you know where the smell of smoke comes from?"

Doctor Xun said, "I walked all the way from the guard house, and it became more and more obvious as I got to the harem. It should be near here."

Yu Wenlan immediately ordered Fu Haidao, "Immediately ask the guards to follow Imperial Physician Xun to look for it, and no one can stop it."

Fu Hai should be so, hurriedly greeted more than a dozen guards, and followed Imperial Physician Xun to search for it in the palace.

After all, there is no one in the harem now, and it didn't take long for everyone to find out the source of the medicinal smell.

But it was the Cuiwei Hall where Wang Zhaoyi was.

Hearing the report, Yu Wenlan was furious and immediately interrogated herself.

However, Wang Zhaoyi denied it flatly, "Your Majesty, please be clear, the concubine is just sick, and I asked the family outside the palace to buy some moxa sticks for fumigation. It is definitely not to harm the concubine Yi!"

She also said in her heart, 【This Concubine Yi really made a move! She is so vicious, and framed me like this! 】

Hearing this, Yu Wenlan was not easily moved, but ordered the guards to say, "Take out what she burned just now and show it to Imperial Physician Xun."

The guard should be, and immediately took out the "moxa stick" that was seized in Cuiwei Hall just now, and asked Xun Taiyi to check it on the spot.

However, after doctor Xun peeled off the moxa stick, he immediately sprinkled the powder on the ground.

After some inspections and without much effort, Imperial Physician Xun concluded, "Your Majesty, there are many blood-invigorating medicinal materials such as red peony root, salvia miltiorrhiza, safflower, musk, turmeric, and impatients. Smell the smell, there is also the risk of tire slippage. Although it is cold now, but it is dinner time, people in the palace come and go, there will still be a smell into the palace, it must be not good for the concubine Yi and the emperor's heir."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Yu Wenlan immediately looked at Wang Zhaoyi again, and said coldly, "Where did you get this thing? Who ordered you to do this?"

But Wang Zhaoyi was stunned, and immediately cried again, "Your Majesty, my concubine really didn't know there was such a thing here. It was because my concubine had been ill for a long time, and there was really no other way, so I asked my family to buy some moxibustion outside the palace. , I really don't know that there are so many poisons in here..."

[God, what's going on, how can there be such a thing in moxibustion? Could it be that Concubine Yi ordered this imperial doctor to deliberately frame me! 】

However, Yu Wenlan lost all patience, and only ordered the guards in a cold voice, "Take control of the Wang family immediately, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Be sure to find out the source of this poison!"

The guards immediately responded and rushed to Wang Zhaoyi's natal home outside the palace.

~~

At this time, Yan Shu has followed the system to know the progress of the matter.

She pondered, 【Could it be that Wang Zhaoyi was also used by that demon way? 】

The system said, [That's right, the moxa stick was actually made by the demon Taoist. Since he came to the capital, the demon Taoist has been replaced by a doctor. A few days ago, he just used medical skills to cure the stomach problem of the old man of the Wang family. Well, the father of the Wang family regarded him as a miracle doctor, so he bought this moxa stick from him, and entrusted someone to send it to the palace for his daughter. 】

Yan Shu nodded, but she still didn't understand, 【But why didn't Wang Zhaoyi see the imperial doctor when he was sick? Light fumigation and moxibustion are not good either! 】

System, [Because she is very afraid of you now, and thinks that the imperial physician is with you and wants her life, so she has never dared to see the imperial physician. 】

Yanshu, […]

Well, since that's the case, she doesn't force it anymore, let's think about the problem of the demon way.

[In this way, the pregnant women who had miscarriages in the capital city were also harmed by the demon way? 】

The system said, [This is not necessarily the case, after all, this method is expensive, and it is quite expensive. It is just used to deal with you. For other pregnant women, he usually inquires first, and then waits for an opportunity to put the powder into the well water of others, and then buys a nearby stable woman in advance, and obtains a fresh placenta after the pregnant woman has a miscarriage. 】

Hearing this, Yan Shu couldn't help but want to vomit again.

Heh, this dead demon has actually set his mind on her! This time he must be caught!

But the system said, 【This time it's easy to handle. This person is currently in the second room in the west wing of the apricot garden medicine store in Yongding Qiaotou. His hair was only dyed black in the afternoon, and he looks about forty or fifty by visual estimation. 】

Just dyed hair?

Yanshu raised her eyebrows. As far as she knew, the current hair dyeing technique is to boil black beans with vinegar sauce, and then apply it on the hair after the black paste is cooked. Of course, some reinforcement methods are needed afterwards, but This person dyed his hair in the afternoon, so it must be too late to strengthen it...

She immediately came up with an idea, took up a pen and revised a book again, and sent it to Qianming Palace.

~~

Ci'an Palace.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the Queen Mother had been waiting for news.

It wasn't until he heard that Wang Zhaoyi had seized the source of the poison, and Yan Shu was not affected, that he was relieved.

Danshuang hurried forward to persuade, "Your Majesty hasn't had dinner yet, since Concubine Yi is not affected, you should eat something too."

The queen mother sighed, "Ai's family has no appetite, and Taoist Baihe hasn't caught it yet."

— After all, if the demon has not been caught for a day, it means that the pregnant women in the city are still in danger.

Although they are unborn children, they are all human lives! How could she still eat with peace of mind?

After all, it's her fault too.

If the Taoist priest could be eliminated when that person died, how could there be hidden dangers now?

Fortunately, not long after, Qiao Fushun, the **** who had gone out to inquire about the news, came in to report, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, I just got the news from the Ming Palace, and Taoist Baihe caught him!"

The queen mother paused, and quickly asked, "You really caught it? Did you catch it wrong?"

But Qiao Fushun nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, ma'am, you have already proven yourself. It is said that the demon dao just dyed his hair black this afternoon to pretend to be a doctor, and hid in the area of ​​Yongding Bridge. The Jinyi guards followed the sour smell and found the vicinity of Yongding Bridge. The houses and shops there were surrounded by layers of shops and checked one by one. They found a man wearing black clothes and a black hat with sour hair. When he poured hot water on his head, his black hair faded into white hair. , after confirmation, it is undoubtedly the demon way."

What?

The queen mother was startled when she heard the words, why is this method a little... tricky?

But no matter what, it's good to catch this person.

The big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, she clasped her hands together, and recited Amitabha Buddha.

Seeing this scene, everyone was relieved, and Danshuang stepped forward again and said, "Your Majesty, can you pass on the food now? Your illness is good, you can't go hungry."

The Queen Mother said, "Just tell them to prepare a bowl of porridge."

Danshuang should be, busy going out to pass the meal.

The Queen Mother was going to sit on the warm couch for a while, but Qiao Fushun said again, "By the way, Ma'am, just now when the servant returned, he met the guard guarding the palace gate who came to deliver a letter, saying that Zhang Shengkang's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xu, died today. .”

The Empress Dowager's face turned cold, and she said, "If you die, you can die. Her husband and son have done so many evil things. Your Majesty has already given her mercy by not asking her to drag her sick body to torture."

Qiao Fushun hurriedly responded, but then said, "When Mrs. Xu died, someone sent a letter to the gate of the palace, saying that I would like to invite you to see it."

As he spoke, he presented a letter.

The queen mother paused, and finally reached out to take it, opened it and scanned it.

But unexpectedly startled.

It turned out that this letter was not written by Mrs. Xu, but by Zhang Shengkang.

— After all, Zhang Shengkang had written prescriptions for her for so many years, and she was still very familiar with this person's handwriting.

At this time, I saw Zhang Shengkang wrote in his letter, "Back then, when the first emperor kunbu soup was mixed with moonlight, when I was about to die, I had already told the imperial doctor Xun, Madam Wanwang, be careful."

The Queen Mother has a meal.

Oh, what a Zhang Shengkang!

…

~~

After repeatedly confirming the identity of Taoist Baihe, Jin Yiwei immediately took him into the dungeon.

It was already late at night, and Yu Wenlan breathed a sigh of relief, and then planned to go to the Ganlu Palace to rest.

— After catching that idiot Wang Zhaoyi, the crisis has been resolved, and now the Temple of Manna can be entered and exited.

Unexpectedly, before he got up, Jin Yiwei came to report, "Your Majesty, the demon said that he had a secret about the late emperor, and wanted to report it to you."

Yu Wenlan paused.

After a while, he nodded and said, "I will see him then."

Coincidentally, he has always wanted to see what the Taoist priest who harmed the late emperor looks like now.

After speaking, he got up and went out.

Not long after, Yu Wenlan saw the man in the prison.

But seeing that there are not many wrinkles on the other party's face, except for the slightly funny hair that has faded, his face is indeed much younger than before.

But he just felt sick.

Why did the late emperor trust such a person back then?

At this moment, before he could open his mouth, he smiled at Fangfang, "Your Majesty has finally come. Since you are so kind, I will offer you a secret to Your Majesty."

Yu Wenlan remained expressionless and said, "What secret?"

However, Taoist Baihe said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't think that the late emperor was killed by a poor Taoist. At that time, the poor Taoist and the late emperor lived and ate and lived together, and they all wanted the same diet. Except for one thing, the late emperor would drink every day at that time." A bowl of kombu soup. Later, the poor were fine, but the late emperor vomited blood and died. Do you know why? The person who poisoned the late emperor was a member of the palace!"

After the words fell, Yu Wenlan was not moved, but asked in a cold voice, "You ate and lived with the late emperor. In this way, the late emperor also ate the elixir you made from the human placenta?"

Taoist Baihe was stunned, and then laughed, "Your Majesty is indeed smart. Yes, the poor have a heart for the late emperor, and such a precious thing should naturally be the first to be presented to the late emperor."

Yu Wenlan narrowed his eyes.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice came from behind, "Shut up."

Everyone looked together, but saw that it was the queen mother who appeared at the door.

Before saluting, the queen mother had already come to Yu Wenlan a few steps away, glanced at him, and then said to the white crane, "You lured the late emperor to persecute the common people, and did such things as devoid of conscience. Now that you are about to die, you still want to Frame others?"

Taoist Bai He paused, and then said to Wen Lan, "Could Your Majesty have the heart to watch the late Emperor die without understanding?"

"shut up."

But Yu Wenlan said in a cold voice, "When he is about to die, he still deceives the crowd with demonic words. Someone cut off his tongue and severed his tendons and tendons. Let the world know that tomorrow at noon, he will be executed in public."

Then he lowered his head and said to the queen mother, "This place is bloody, please return to the palace, mother mother."

The Empress Dowager paused, and had no choice but to agree first, and left the prison with him.

In the middle of the cold winter night, the cold air chokes one's heart and lungs.

The Queen Mother did not get in the car, but said to Yu Wenlan, "The Ai family has something to tell His Majesty."

But Yu Wenlan said softly, "It's getting late, mother, go back and have a good rest first, if there's anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
