Chapter 106: Blaming Others (1)
Yun Jingman changed his clothes casually and then hurried to Fengsheng Palace. He came as if jogging with his hair a little messy. In front of the gate of Fengsheng Palace, he tidied his hair, straightened his clothes, took a breath, and walked into Fengsheng Palace calmly.
Yun Jingman walked along the way and did not see any palace servants who came to deliver messages. The bleak autumn night seemed a bit eerie and gloomy. Yun Jingman suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and led Chu'er into Fengsheng Palace.
The main door of Fengsheng Palace was tightly closed, and only a strong light could be seen shining through. Standing in front of the door, Yun Jingman hesitated, not knowing what would be waiting for her if she opened the door. She mustered up the courage to push open the door...
"Squeak, squeak." Yun Jingman pushed the door open little by little...
As soon as Yun Jingman opened the door, he felt the low pressure in the main hall, which made him feel breathless. He looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned for a moment. The whole main hall was filled with kneeling imperial doctors, palace maids, guards, eunuchs...
His eyes quickly caught sight of Baili Haoxuan, who was sitting in the highest seat with a cold face. It seemed that the low pressure in the hall was all caused by Baili Haoxuan...
Yun Jingman always had a bad feeling in her heart, but on the surface she pretended to be calm and composed. She walked forward gracefully, passed the imperial doctors and palace maids who were kneeling on the ground, and greeted Baili Haoxuan, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor."
Yun Jingman half bowed his body, and for a long while, he did not see any movement from the person in the high position. Yun Jingman did not dare to look up, so he had to continue the half-bow ceremony.
The hall was completely silent; one could hear a pin drop. Everyone kneeling on the ground held their breath, not daring to breathe, waiting for the emperor's thundering wrath.
"Imperial Physician Chen, please explain to me why the Queen had a miscarriage." Baili Haoxuan's cold tone froze everything in the palace.
"In reply to the emperor, the queen took a decoction containing safflower, so, so...she had a miscarriage..." Imperial Physician Chen said tremblingly, his body shaking and his forehead covered with cold sweat.
"Why are there red flowers?" Baili Haoxuan had a cold aura, a chill that seeped out from his bones.
"Your Majesty, I found a small amount of safflower in the residue of the medicine that the Empress just drank." Imperial Physician Chen said truthfully.
"A small amount of safflower. How can a small amount of safflower cause the fetus to be in danger?" Baili Haoxuan asked with a cold face, his blue eyes scanning over Yun Jingman's half-bent body.
"Ordinary safflower, with low dosage, will cause miscarriage if taken for a long time. However, the safflower I found in the Empress's medicine residue is from the frontier region. A small amount of this safflower is enough to cause miscarriage, and in severe cases it may endanger your safety." Imperial Physician Chen glanced at Baili Haoxuan's expression, then lowered his head again, not daring to look directly at him.
"Border territory?" Baili Haoxuan asked in confusion, but he understood the truth in his heart.
"Yes, this red flower is produced in the border territories, especially in Modan."
Modan Country, Modan Country, the spearhead was immediately pointed at Yun Jingman. She came from Modan Country...
Hearing the words "Modan Kingdom", Yun Jingman felt a little cold in his heart. How could it be such a coincidence that the red flower of Modan Kingdom would appear in the palace of Xuanhuang Dynasty? Who on earth wanted to harm the queen? Could it be Zi Yan?
When Baili Haoxuan heard the words "Modan Kingdom", a murderous aura burst out from his blue eyes, which he slightly suppressed and said in a cold voice: "Who made that medicine? The Empress's pregnancy-maintaining medicine has always been prescribed by the Imperial Pharmacy. Who is it?"
The imperial doctors all cowered, not daring to raise their heads. The abortion-preserving medicine had indeed always been prescribed by the imperial pharmacy, and nothing had happened so far...
"Zui Lu, you speak." Baili Haoxuan looked at the imperial doctors who were silent, and suddenly his eyes turned and shot towards Zui Lu, the personal maid who was cold and silent below.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has been taking the pregnancy-maintaining medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and has been doing fine. But, but..." Zui Lu choked up and glanced at Yun Jingman, who was half-bending.
After feeling Zui Lu's gaze, Yun Jingman's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...
"But what! Explain yourself to me clearly!" Baili Haoxuan said violently, his hands clenched into fists under his dragon robe, his blue eyes drifting towards Yun Jingman.
"Today, Concubine Qing came to Fengsheng Palace to feel the Queen's pulse. The Queen said that she couldn't eat and had no appetite, so Concubine Qing prescribed some appetite-stimulating medicine for the Queen. Before the meal, after the Queen drank the medicine, she suddenly cried out that her stomach hurt, and then... then... the prince was gone..." Zui Lu couldn't say any more at the end, and cried softly with her hands covering her mouth.
"My dear concubine, is this true?" Baili Haoxuan said with gritted teeth, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"In reply to the emperor, I came to take the pulse of the empress as instructed by the emperor. The empress said that she had no appetite and could not eat, so I prescribed some appetite-stimulating medicine for her. That's all. I had no idea about the safflower incident." Yun Jingman said calmly.
"Bring up the prescription for the appetizer you wrote for the Queen."
"I left the prescription for Zui Lu to get the medicine, but the prescription is not with me."
"Drunk Green!"
"Your Majesty, it's true that the medicine was prescribed by Concubine Qing for me. However, when I was decocting the medicine, the palace maid beside Concubine Qing came and said that one ingredient was missing, and asked me to add it. It was not on the prescription." Zui Lu blamed Yun Jingman with tears in her eyes, and the hatred in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Palace maid? When will I send someone over?" Yun Jingman stood up and looked coldly at Zui Lu who was accusing her.
"Just after noon, I went to the imperial kitchen to boil medicine. The palace maid said that she was the maid of Concubine Qing in Qingyue Palace. She said that she missed a medicine in the prescription when she wrote it in the morning, and now she has brought it to me." Zui Lu recalled the scene at that time and told it word for word.
"Nonsense. The first time I returned to Qingyue Palace, I went to sleep. Why would I send anyone?" Yun Jingman cursed in anger.
"Your Majesty, I dare not deceive your Majesty. If I say even a word wrong, I hope I will be struck by lightning and struck by five thunders." Zui Lu crawled to Baili Haoxuan's footsteps and swore with tears in her eyes.
When all the unfavorable evidence points to Yun Jingman, can she find her own redemption?
