Chapter 183 The Cause of the Disease (2)

After a while, the fifth prince, who was originally in pain, slowly, his breathing became steady, his brows stretched, and he fell asleep peacefully.

Nangong Yue heaved a sigh of relief, took a dry handkerchief and wiped the fifth prince's forehead before taking his seat again.

At this moment, the queen walked in, followed by Mammy Li and Xueqin.

"Yue girl, how is the emperor's situation now?"

After Nangong Yue stepped forward to greet her, she replied, "Bei Niangniang, the fifth prince's condition has stabilized, and his life is not in danger for the time being."

The queen nodded, still frowning deeply, although she also knew that this matter could not be rushed...

"Girl Yue, look at these..." The queen waved her hand and motioned for Mammy Li to hand over the things to Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue took it and looked at it, but it was a list. It was written in detail what the fifth prince had eaten today, when and where he ate it. Even a sip of water and a sip of tea were clearly written. Chu.

As for the decoction and medicine that the fifth prince usually takes, it is written more clearly, and even the weight of the medicine is written.

This Mammy Li is really careful in her work, no wonder she can become the Queen's confidant.

In her previous life, Nangong Yue only knew that the fifth prince died of a serious illness after the palace banquet, but she did not know the real reason for his serious illness. He said, "Niangniang, I don't know if these three kinds of food are still available? The minister and daughter want to see it."

Without the queen asking, Mammy Li hurriedly said: "These are the food at the palace banquet. After the accident happened to the Fifth Prince, he has already sent someone to preserve these foods."

The queen nodded with satisfaction, and ordered Mammy Li to fetch it.

Mammy Li led the order and hurried away, and brought the three kinds of food in a hurry and displayed it in front of Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue looked at the sesame phoenix roll, sugar chrysanthemum cake and walnut cake on the table, and tasted them one by one with awe.

"Sugar chrysanthemum cake..." Nangong Yue murmured softly, her face changed slightly.

"What, but what's wrong?" The Queen asked eagerly when she saw Nangong Yue's expression was wrong.

"It's fenugreek." Nangong Yue's expression was solemn, "The sugar chrysanthemum cake has fenugreek." After that, she explained without waiting for the queen to ask, "The fenugreek is a kind of tonic with a sweet taste. It's hard to be noticed when it's added to sweet pastries. The problem is that the herbs in the soup that the fifth prince and the five princes drink each day are incompatible with each other, and the toxicity produced is very severe for children!"

"No wonder!" The Queen gritted her teeth with hatred. When she was eating this cake, the Fifth Prince happily told her that the cake was sweeter than usual. Unexpectedly...

"Alas!" Nangong Yue sighed, "Qianhengzi was originally a very precious tonic, but was used for this purpose. Grandfather will definitely be heartbroken when he finds out."

"Very precious?" The Queen's heart moved, "Is this kind of medicine called Qi Hengzi rare?"

"Of course it's rare!" Nangong Yue looked like a doctor, "Qianhengzi itself is a very nourishing and rare medicinal material. Even in the Hundred Herbs Hall outside, this kind of medicine is rarely sold!"

Baicaotang is the largest pharmacy in the capital, famous for its complete variety of medicinal materials. This medicine has been sold for hundreds of years, and the Queen heard a little about it before entering the palace. Even Baicaotang is rare, which is enough to show that this medicinal material is hard to find.

"That's very rare!" The queen's nails were deeply embedded in the palm of her hand. How could such a rare medicine appear in the imperial kitchen for no reason? This must have been planned by someone secretly!

who is it? Who the hell wanted to hurt her prince?

"Empress Empress, what's wrong with you?" Nangong Yue looked anxious. She naturally understands what the Queen is thinking at the moment, because this is also what she intends to guide the Queen to think in this direction.

"Oh! It's okay..." The queen was awakened from her deep thoughts, and she forced a smile, "Yue girl, you've been busy in the middle of the night, and you're tired! Let's take a nap first!" A palace maid said, "Xueqin, take the third girl Nangong to rest!"

"Yes." Xueqin stepped forward, "Miss Nangong, please come with your servant."

"Thank you, Niangniang." Nangongyue bowed respectfully to the queen, and then said, "The minister knows that Niangniang is worried about His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, but she also asks her to take care of her phoenix for the sake of His Royal Highness." After speaking, Nangongyue said She gave another salute, "The servant girl will retire first." Then, she followed Xueqin and withdrew.

Take care of your phoenix body? The queen smiled bitterly. Although she was the head of the first palace in this harem, the emperor had nothing but respect for the queen. Beside her, Concubine Zhang, Concubine Liu, Concubine Li and others had been eyeing them, none of them were simple! If she goes to rest, who will protect her Fengluan Palace? Who will protect her young prince?

After all, the queen is the queen. After a short period of self-pity, she immediately cleaned up her mood. She is the queen who is invincible and in charge of the six palaces!

But in her heart, she felt a little closer to Nangong Yue, who really cared about her at this time.

"Mother Wen," the queen ordered to Mama Wen, "take someone to the royal kitchen in person, and announce that the royal chef who makes sugar chrysanthemum cakes will come to see you!"

"Yes, madam!"

The queen waited for a long time in Fengluan Palace, but she did not see the return of Mammy Wen, who was passing the information on the royal chef. Just when she was impatient, and was about to send another person to see it, Mammy Wen, who she sent earlier, Zhang Huang, was at a loss. came back.

The Queen couldn't help frowning, and she said pantingly, "Mother! Then... that Royal Chef Wang has committed suicide!"

"What?!" The Empress clapped the table angrily, "He must have committed suicide in fear of his crime! Find out! Find out who is trying to kill the Emperor of this Palace!"

"Niangniang..." Wen Ma moved her lips hesitantly, looking like she wanted to say but didn't dare.

"If you have anything to say, say it quickly, and this palace forgives you!" The queen was a little impatient. At this time, there was nothing to hesitate.

"Niangniang, the people in the royal dining room said that what happened to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince was an accident, but Niangniang was ruthless and forced the royal chef to death!" Wen Ma said in a hurry.

"Bengong forced him to death?!" The queen laughed angrily, as if she had heard a big joke, "If something really happened to the emperor, whether he meant it or not, this palace will destroy it. His nine clans will be buried with you!"

Wen Ma shivered, obviously frightened by the Queen's murderous words.

The queen quickly calmed down again. In fact, Wang Yuchu's suicide was to prove her guess from the side. There is indeed a ghost behind this matter! She coldly ordered again: "Continue the investigation for Ben Gong! Although this person is dead, it does not mean that the clues are broken. Ben Gong wants to see where he, Qian Hengzi, came from?"
