Chapter 791: Who Is Behind the Scenes?

Shao Wanru stood up and stood aside with his head bowed. He looked extremely submissive and did not look at Shao Yanru who was kneeling on the ground and crying non-stop.

"Miss Shao Wu, I heard that you brought some medicinal materials to Miss Shao for pain relief. You put them in Miss Shao's medicine and fried them together for her to use?" the queen asked.

Shao Wanru replied extremely calmly: "Report to the Queen, this is indeed the case. Early this morning, the eldest sister said that she was not in good health and the pain was so bad that she couldn't sleep at night. She asked me to go to the Imperial Hospital. The eldest sister sent someone over. , the people in Chuxiu Palace should also know!"

Although Handan came here early, people in Chuxiu Palace have been early recently, so someone must have seen her.

"Are you in so much pain that you can't sleep at night?" The Empress looked at Shao Yanru and asked coldly, "Is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor bad?"

"Empress, Miss Shao has been taking the medicine prescribed for me in the past few days. The injury is much better than before. It is unlikely that the pain will be so bad that she can't sleep at night." The imperial doctor said hurriedly. He saw this when he entered the door. If there is a big formation, you will know that something is wrong. Even if you are an imperial doctor in the palace, you still have this kind of eyesight.

If something serious had not happened, the Empress would not have come to such a remote palace. Even if Miss Shao was seriously injured a few days ago, the Empress would not have sent anyone to ask more questions, let alone come in person.

"It's much better now. It's impossible to feel any pain anymore?" the Queen repeated with a sneer.

Shao Yanru's expression changed, and she said sadly while wiping her tears: "Empress, I am... I am really hurting. I don't know why, but the pain suddenly became severe last night, so I sent someone to let the fifth sister go. Too hospital.”

She just gritted her teeth and said she was in pain.

After hearing what she said, the imperial doctor hesitated for a moment. Everyone's physique is different. Even if most people don't feel pain, some people will actually feel pain. This is not something that is incomprehensible.

"Maybe... some people may feel different pain..." The imperial doctor hesitated and had to explain a little more.

"Fifth Miss went to the Imperial Hospital and asked which imperial doctor got the medicine?" The Queen no longer insisted on whether it hurt or not, and continued to ask.

"When I went there, there happened to be no imperial doctor in the imperial hospital, so a young father-in-law asked my daughter to get the medicine." Shao Wanru said with a normal expression.

It's as if she didn't know that if she went to get it herself, she would be her biggest suspect.

"Fifth...fifth sister got the medicine by herself? Didn't an imperial doctor give it to you...could it be that...fifth sister got the wrong medicine?" Shao Yanru looked at Shao Wanru and choked with tears on her face. It looked like this Still protecting Shao Wanru.

If there was nothing wrong with the Emperor, the Empress would probably think that Shao Yanru was kind, but at this time, the more she looked at her, the more she felt that she was scheming.

The Queen's eyes did not fall on Shao Yanru at all, as if she did not hear her words at all. She only asked Shao Wanru, "What did Fifth Miss say?"

Shao Yanru felt embarrassed and uncomfortable, so she could only bite her lip and lower her head. She originally had some calculated words, but now the Queen simply ignored her existence, so she couldn't do anything for a while.

Fortunately, fortunately, she had planned it well at the beginning, for fear of what would happen if the matter was exposed. Now it seems that the original decision was still very effective. No matter where this matter went, she was innocent. It was Shao Wanru who wanted to harm her. All these things were caused by Shao Wanru.

Now that even the emperor was being plotted, she saw what else she wanted to say. Even if her grandmother was the eldest princess of Ruian, it didn't matter. The eldest princess was nothing in front of the emperor.

Shao Wanru glanced at Shao Yanru with cold eyes. Shao Yanru, who looked aggrieved and sad, was still wiping away tears. At this time, Shao Yanru thought he could step on her.

"Empress, my daughter did not get this medicine. Although there is no imperial doctor here, there is a young eunuch who helped me get it!" Shao Wanru said in a low voice. He had prepared this for a long time and answered without any hesitation.

"Most of the young eunuchs in the imperial hospital are illiterate. How could they help Miss Fifth get the medicine?" the imperial doctor asked in confusion.

This is no secret in the palace.

The Queen's eyes were fixed on her face, trying to see a trace of hurriedness and panic on her face.

Shao Wanru's face was still very calm, calm without any ripples. After the eunuch finished speaking, he said: "It is true that the little eunuch does not know how to read, but this painkiller is a common medicine. Many imperial doctors use it. They will all be used. The young eunuch took my daughter over to take a look, and she recognized the words. That’s it, I asked the young eunuch to grab the medicine. My daughter has never touched it!"

"Even if the fifth lady knows about medicine, it is impossible to know that this medicine is for pain relief. All the names written on the medicine cabinet are the names of the medicines!" the imperial doctor said in surprise. The ordinary young lady from aristocratic families has no idea what these medicine names mean. Of course, He didn't dare to let the little eunuch grab the medicine, "Miss Fifth, are you sure you didn't grab the wrong medicine?"

The imperial doctor felt that he knew some truth. The young eunuch was illiterate, so he only brought Miss Shao Wu to the medicine cabinet. Miss Shao Wu did not know the medicine, so she mistakenly thought it was the medicine. Then she took the powder and fried it to Miss Shao's medicine. , and then something seemed to happen that alarmed the Queen.

"To the empress, I did not take the wrong medicine. I have some knowledge of medicine and have treated my grandmother before!" Shao Wanru shook his head and rejected the wrong answer given by the imperial doctor.

Even if she didn't reveal her knowledge of medical skills, Shao Yanru would reveal it today.

If you don't know medical skills, you won't be able to blame yourself for this medicine.

Shao Yanru lowered her head and kept listening to Shao Wanru's words quietly. Sensing Shao Wanru's calm and logical explanation, she felt inexplicably uneasy. Shao Wanru's reaction should not be like this.

How could she not be panicked at all? How could she still be so calm when such a big thing happened and the emperor was involved.

Wrong, there must be something wrong, what exactly is wrong!

My heart was flustered, and my mood tightened involuntarily.

"You know medicine, that is, you know the medicines, but do you know what the smell in this room is?" The Queen's face was solemn, and she couldn't understand the meaning clearly.

Shao Wanru raised his nose and smelled it, then shook his head, "It smells like Chinese medicine, and it's the same as the one used by my eldest sister in the past. When I just walked out, the medicine hadn't been served yet, Queen! Is there something wrong with this medicine?" The young eunuch took the girl's medicine and left in a hurry after taking it. If the Queen doesn't believe it, she can go check it out!"

Shao Wanru said.

Even if she knew some medicine, she didn't understand it very well. After all, she hadn't studied it for a long time. Besides, when she left, the bowl of medicine hadn't been served yet. Even if it was there, she didn't know what it was.

Hearing what she said, the Queen's brows frowned tightly. Since Shao Wanru dared to say this, it was true. Even if there was no imperial doctor here, she did not take the medicine herself, so it would be impossible for her to take it again. Whatever other medicinal materials she got, this kind of aphrodisiac was not from her.

But if it wasn't her, then someone would have done it. The Queen didn't believe that this kind of aphrodisiac was prescribed by an imperial doctor.

"Are those papers wrapped with medicine still there?" the imperial doctor suddenly asked the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, yes, it should be still there. When I came here, I was still there!" The palace maid nodded repeatedly and almost cried with joy. She didn't know how to clean herself in the first place. It would be great if she had a medicine bag.

A eunuch went out and soon came over with a bunch of wrapping paper and put it on the table. The doctor came over and picked up each piece of wrapping paper and smelled it. After a while, he picked out a small wrapping paper.

"Queen, this is the paper that contains the medicine." He couldn't speak directly, so he could only say it implicitly.

"Is this the medicine?" the queen asked.

"Yes, it's the one that contains that kind of medicine!" The imperial doctor nodded.

Shao Wanru was standing on the edge, his eyes falling on the wrapping paper. There were creases on the wrapping paper, and it could be seen that it was a small medicine bag.

"Queen, I have never seen such a small paper bag. If you had just seen such a small paper bag, you would have noticed this difference. Miss Shao's medicine is not like this."

After saying this, Shao Yanru was on the verge of falling, clutching her chest and looking at Shao Wanru, her face full of tears and shock. The expressions in her eyes were disbelief, anger and grievance. It could be said that she had all five senses, silently accusing Shao Wanru.

Shao Wanru's eyes also met Shao Yanru's, cold and without a trace of warmth or timidity. After a long while, he said to the Queen: "Where do you think this medicine comes from?"

"If it wasn't there before, someone else must have put it in." The queen's eyes fell sharply on Shao Yanru's face. She still felt that Shao Yanru was very likely. Shao Yanru had an advantage in this matter. It was clearly her plan. To the emperor, this meeting was actually innocent.

In the past, she might have thought that Shao Yanru was a good person and should have been plotted against. But now that she sees how disgusted Shao Yanru is, how can she believe that she is innocent again.

Shao Wanru didn't have a good relationship with the entire Xingguo Duke's office, and her relationship with Shao Yanru was also average. How could she help Shao Yanru do such a thing.

"Have you ever left after cooking the medicine?" the chief steward of Fengyi Palace glanced at the empress, and asked the maid after trying to figure out her thoughts.

"This slave has never left. She has always been there. Even when the eldest lady asked for water, she walked away a little bit, but she also asked Shuqi to help her take a look. The rest of the time, this slave was always there... Later, the fifth lady came in and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he left." The palace maid said timidly.

In this sentence, Shao Wanru is suspected, and so is Shao Yanru's maid.

Shao Wanru understood, and there was a trace of ridicule in her eyes. She could really explain this clearly, "To report to the Queen, when I went in, I just went inside to sit and see how the medicine was cooking, and then left. The medicine jar is far away, and I haven't walked over, let alone spilling something in front of the palace maid!"
