Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 460: Pregnancy-inhibiting Drug

Yizhen said "oh" softly, thinking that maybe she was too sensitive. A medicine jar was not a big deal, but why did she always feel a little panicked and had a bad feeling?

The chef was busy. After answering Yizhen's questions, he left in a hurry. Yizhen was alone in the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.

I don't know why, but my heart just can't calm down.

When I was washing vegetables, the water had already overflowed the basin but I didn't notice it until I felt a dampness at my toes. Then I suddenly realized that there was a small flood on the ground. I hurriedly turned off the water, sighed, and simply gave up the idea of ​​cooking.

Before leaving, his eyes once again fell on the medicine jar in the corner.

There was still a small fire burning there, and if you listened carefully, you could hear the "cuckoo" sound of boiling water.

I wanted to go back, but my steps were uncontrollably moving towards the medicine jar. When I came to my senses, I was already standing next to the medicine jar.

With a casual glance, I found that there seemed to be some words printed on the lid of the medicine jar.

Since the medicine bottle is black, the writing is printed lightly and cannot be seen at all if you don't look carefully.

Yizhen bent down and stared at the handwriting for a long time before finally recognizing that it was the word "西".

West?! My body shook unconsciously, and I remembered what my mother had told me before I entered the palace - my fate was in conflict with the West, and I must never get close to anything related to the West.

Yizhen had a bad feeling in that moment, but she quickly calmed down and thought: Could this "West" refer to the West Palace? Could this medicine jar... be a product of the West Palace?

After Concubine Baogui passed away, Shui Furong, who was diagnosed with being pregnant with a dragon son, was promoted to Imperial Concubine and was in charge of the West Palace.

Why does the medicine jar in the West Palace appear here?

Yizhen and Shui Furong had a grudge since the first day they entered the palace, and their relationship has always been cold. After Ji Anni and Shui Furong gradually became sisters, Yizhen became more jealous of Shui Furong. But after all, she was the daughter of the governor and had a noble status, so she never dared to offend her. When she saw Shui Furong, she always subconsciously avoided her. Now, although she didn't see her, but only her things, she subconsciously wanted to leave quickly.

Without thinking too much, he started moving and gently called Die'er outside the door. The master and servant left one after the other.

Die'er was well-behaved and docile, but she couldn't speak. Yizhen and she only had the simplest communication, so although she was a close maid, she was not a close confidant, and the relationship between the master and servant was relatively weak.

After returning to the Dong Congfei Palace, Yizhen rested in her room.

Soon it was lunch time. Dier brought the food as usual, put it on her table and left.

Yizhen sat alone in the room, with no appetite. After returning from the imperial kitchen, all she could think about was that strange medicine jar.

If Shui Furong ordered someone to make the medicine, why did she do it in her own kitchen? Shui Furong has always been able to run and jump, and is full of energy. It is hard to tell what disease she would have. If she really had to take medicine... it would be the abortion-preserving medicine from the Imperial Hospital...

Pregnancy protection? Yizhen shuddered violently.

The chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear, and all the messy clues were connected. The vague uneasiness in my heart suddenly upgraded to a clear warning: This is definitely not a coincidence, but someone is trying to frame me! - Framed me to drug Shui Furong!

Thinking of this, Yizhen had no appetite to eat. She quickly closed the doors and windows and started searching through all the drawers and cabinets in the room.

If someone wanted to frame her for drugging Shui Furong, they would definitely hide the evidence in the room in advance.

If we don't find the evidence quickly and it's discovered by the palace maids and eunuchs in the future, we won't be able to clear ourselves of the charges even if we jump into the Yellow River.

After Zhao Ji fell out of favor, she was the one who was favored the most by Long Mohan, so it was inevitable that someone would want to harm her.

After searching all the drawers, cabinets, and even the floor, she found nothing suspicious. Exhausted and out of breath, Yizhen sat on the bed, and her hand subconsciously touched the pillow. Something in her head was plucked hard, and she suddenly lifted the pillow! As expected, a strange paper bag appeared under the pillow.

Suddenly I forgot how to breathe and my mind went blank.

As expected, I had predicted it! They first started a fire in their own kitchen, and then hid the poison in their room. As long as Shui Furong pretended to be poisoned, she could frame me for poisoning her!

Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous...

Yizhen quickly came to her senses, grabbed the paper bag and tried to throw it out of the window.

But as soon as I picked up the paper bag, I found a red mark on the bedside where I had put the paper bag. The paper bag was wrapped in red paper. I don't know what dye was used to dye the red paper, but the color was quite strong. Not only the bedside, but even the pillow was left with red marks. I looked at my hand again, and there was a mark on the place where I had picked up the paper bag!

Yizhen was a little panicked and hurriedly washed her hands with tea, but found that the mark could not be washed off at all.

I don't know who could be so sinister! Even if they threw away the paper bag, they could have an excuse that they destroyed the poison out of fear of crime, but the marks left on their hands, bed and pillow were irrefutable evidence.

If I don't get rid of these traces as soon as possible, I'm afraid I will still be convicted as a criminal.

Thinking that she would be imprisoned, and that the happiness that she had just seen at the dawn was about to disappear, Yizhen felt cold all over and shivered unconsciously. She sat back at the table with her legs trembling slightly, not knowing what to do.

His distracted eyes moved around the room, searching for something that could save his life - suddenly he saw the food on the table.

Yizhen thought of someone, someone who could take the blame for her.

As long as someone took the blame for her and helped her get through this difficult time, she would never be so careless and make the same mistake again.

Thinking of this, she immediately called Die'er and asked her to help her clean up the room, especially emphasizing that she should clean up the head of the bed.

Die'er was a little surprised, wondering why she didn't eat at lunch time but cleaned the room? But she was an obedient maid after all, and she made the bed according to Yizhen's request. When she lifted the pillow, she found a red paper package under the pillow, just like Yizhen just did. She paused suddenly, and several thoughts emerged in her mind, but none of them were the worst.

When she put down the pillow and wanted to continue making the bed, Yizhen suddenly screamed from behind: "What are you doing? What did you put under the pillow?"

Before Die'er could react, Yizhen rushed over and grabbed her wrist.

Yizhen stuffed the red paper bag into Dier's hand, so that Dier would also be stained with red marks like herself. In this way, the marks on her hands could be explained as accidentally stained when Dier was captured, and Dier was the culprit who put the red paper bag under the pillow.

The sudden change made the timid Dier cry.

She cried out "Ah Ah" but could not utter a word to defend herself because her throat had been burned by Concubine An's use of hot oil.

Only she is the best scapegoat for Yizhen. A person who cannot defend herself or explain the truth can only bear it silently and never get justice even if she is framed with any crime.

Yizhen was secretly grateful to Ji Anni for keeping her by her side.

Everything is destined, maybe Die'er is the best weapon God uses to help her survive this disaster.

"I saw it! You are hiding something under your pillow! What is this? Where did it come from? Who told you to hide it?" Yizhen's voice became louder and louder, deliberately trying to alarm the other concubines in the Concubine Palace.

It was lunch time, and the concubines were eating in their rooms. After hearing the noise, they sent their maids out to find out what was going on. When they learned that Yizhen had caught a maid framing her, they all crowded to the door to watch the fun out of curiosity.

More and more people came, all chattering.

Yizhen kept pulling Die'er, and took the opportunity to question Die'er to explain the whole story to the onlookers.

Die'er would whimper and resist at first, but then she realized from Yizhen's eyes that she could not explain herself. Yizhen's crazy eyes were like a mad dog that would bite its target and not let go. Who hid the red paper package? Didn't Yizhen know it in her heart? The reason she asked me to clean the room was that she had already made up her mind to frame me.

Thinking of this, Die'er stopped arguing and just looked at Yizhen in despair, her clear eyes filled with tears.

Someone among the audience crowded near the door suggested handing Die'er over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This was exactly what Yizhen wanted. She pulled Die'er up from the ground and was about to walk out when there was suddenly a commotion outside the door.

After a while, the crowd blocking the door spontaneously parted, and Nuanhong appeared in front of Yizhen with three eunuchs.

When Ji Anni was still the imperial concubine, Yizhen met Nuanhong when she was a guest in the right courtyard. Later, Nuanhong became a maid in the west palace of Shui Furong. When she saw Nuanhong, Yizhen's heart sank, and she guessed that Shui Furong had sent her to catch the stolen goods.

I felt somewhat proud in my heart, and was glad that I had dragged Die'er out as a shield before Nuanhong. If it had been a little later, I would have been the poor person who had no way to complain and was so anxious that his eyes were filled with tears.

Nuanhong relied on Shui Furong's power and spoke with the air of a housekeeper. She raised her head and walked forward, asking Yizhen, "Madam, what happened?"

Yizhen wiped her tears and said, "This girl secretly hid something under my pillow and I just caught her."

As he spoke, he pushed Dier forward and pointed at the red paper bag that had fallen on the ground.

Nuanhong picked up the paper package, handed it to the eunuch behind her and said, "Hurry up and send it to the Imperial Hospital and have someone check what it is. If it is a sterilizing drug, the criminal has been caught."

"A pregnancy-inducing drug?" Yizhen was stunned, somewhat unexpectedly. She thought it would be some intestinal poison that could rupture the stomach.

Nuanhong is talkative, and before Yizhen could ask, she started to talk: "Just now, when Concubine Shui was drinking the pregnancy-preserving medicine, she suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain. It turned out that someone had given her a pregnancy-inhibiting drug. I sent someone to the imperial kitchen to ask, and only then did I know that only the queen had been to the room where the medicine was boiled today. I came here originally to ask the queen to explain, but I didn't expect that the queen had just caught the culprit."

When they heard that Shui Furong had drunk the sterilizing drug, all the concubines who were watching started talking about it.

If Shui Furong had a miscarriage, the only bloodline of the Long family would be cut off.
