AWB Chapter 183 Sachet
Chapter 183 Sachet
Soon, Hua Dexing came in with a large group of imperial doctors, some of whom came to learn "clinical experience".
After a busy period, the empress dowager actually woke up for a while in the evening, but she just opened her eyes, looked around, and then closed them again.
This was enough to surprise Mingyue and the others. Yuan Tianzhen even cried with joy. Jiang Hetang's attention was all on the empress dowager on the bed, so he could only help wipe her tears.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's complexion had improved, and that she seemed to have a certain peace that she had not had in the past few days, Jiang Hetang relaxed. "Hua Dexing, is this a good sign?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry so much. The Empress Dowager is just a little tired."
After Hua Dexing told Jiang Hetang and Yuan Tianzhen some details of the illness, he withdrew to prepare some detoxifying and solid medicines.
Mingyue held the Queen Mother's hand tightly. Fortunately, the source of the poison was found in time.
Jiang Hetang looked at Mingyue with gratitude and affection, and whispered, "Mingyue, thank you so much."
"Why should you thank me? The person on the bed is not only your mother, but also my grandmother." Mingyue rolled her eyes. She was really not used to such sentimental occasions.
"If you have time, go and investigate the source of the incense and the background of that palace maid."
When talking about this, Jiang Hetang still felt a chill down his spine. Who was controlling all this in the dark?
Yuan Tianzhen was half-hugging Mingyue at this moment. She stopped patting Mingyue's hand and looked at Jiang Hetang seriously, saying, "As the Empress Dowager, your mother has never made enemies. I think this is an unprovoked disaster."
"It's very likely that the person they want to deal with is me, or Brother Huan."
Neither Jiang Hetang nor Mingyue said anything.
Indeed, if the enemy wasn't targeting the Empress Dowager, then they must be targeting Empress Yuan Tianzhen, or the only little prince in the royal family. It couldn't be Mingyue, a fat kid who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
After dinner, the investigation into the unique aroma yielded results. However, the results were clearly somewhat unexpected.
In the side hall of Yongshou Palace, Jiang Hetang's memorials have been reviewed here recently.
He was sitting at the top seat at this time, listening to the reports from the people below.
"Your Majesty, according to my investigation and verification by Imperial Physician Hua, the strange fragrance is indeed emitted from this sachet." He then bowed and presented an object with both hands. Upon closer inspection, it was a sachet embroidered with a familiar pattern. "However, this item... was... made by the Empress herself..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present stared at the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He lowered his head nervously, trying his best to avoid looking at anyone.
Jinyiwei Deputy Commander: Who understands? I'm just telling the truth!
Yuan Tianzhen's heart tightened, and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Hetang, eager to know his attitude.
Jiang Hetang was seen rubbing the sachet vigorously with his fingertips, seemingly without any emotion.
Mingyue looked at him and then at her. Why were these two people not talking?
She stepped forward, snatched the sachet from Jiang Hetang's hand, took out the herbs inside, and smelled them. She then took out the sachet hanging from her waist and smelled them for comparison. "Uncle, look, this isn't the sachet my aunt made! The inside has been replaced!"
She was holding up the two sachets, waiting for praise, when she saw Jiang Hetang's face darken. "Come here, Empress Yuan Tianzhen is attempting to murder the Empress Dowager. This crime is unforgivable. Take her and the little prince away with you. Imprisoned in Kunning Palace, not to be released without summons."
Yuan Tianzhen glanced at Jiang Hetang without saying a word. She just threw the phoenix hairpin that the emperor had given her at their wedding to the ground, then took Xiao Huan'er's hand and turned to leave.
Mingyue was about to ask Jiang Hetang if he was crazy, but Mingyang held her back. He shook his head, signaling Mingyue not to act rashly.
Mingyue didn't care. She shook off his hand and looked at Jiang Hetang fiercely, baring her teeth like an angry little beast.
She also imitated Yuan Tianzhen's way of leaving, wanting to throw something away, but couldn't bear to do so. She simply stomped her feet hard, snorted at him, and ran out to chase Yuan Tianzhen.
Even Zhizhi and Taotao followed suit. They didn't dare to glare at the emperor, but they dared to glare at Mingyang. They thought to themselves that all men are bad, and then they chased Mingyue out.
Mingyang shook his head. These two little girls were corrupted by Mingyue.
Only Jiang Hetang broke a set of tea sets, and the tea splashed on the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei intentionally or unintentionally.
On the other side, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was working day and night to investigate the whereabouts of the smart palace maid after she left the palace, as well as her background before she entered the palace.
He sorted out the information sent by his subordinates and was about to pass it to the emperor when he found that Jiang Hetang had already sent a secret letter in advance.
When I unfolded it, I was stunned and shocked.
The subordinates had never seen their boss behave so miserably and were curious about the contents of the letter.
Some people even secretly felt that the boss had finally come to his senses, and the letter must have been sent by a girl.
Only the commander himself knows the bitterness of it, and he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to keep his official hat.
Mingyue followed him to Kunning Palace, but was stopped outside.
She slammed the palace door vigorously, "Open the door! Open the door! I am Princess Mingzhu!!"
"Why won't you let me in! Let me in!"
"Brother Huan! Brother Huan!"
Hearing this, Huan Ge'er stopped and stood there, hesitating.
Huan Ge'er: My sister only calls me by my name and never calls mother, which shows that she cares about me more!
Before I could think about it, Yuan Tianzhen pulled me forward and said, "Let's go. Let's stay here."
"Yes, mother," Huan Ge'er replied obediently, hoping his sister would leave quickly. "Stop clapping, stop shouting. If you hurt your throat, or hurt your hands, there's no Huan Ge to blow them away for you."
She could see that this was clearly a frame-up. She was really afraid that Yuan Tianzhen would be heartbroken and would shut up her heart and love with him from then on, and Jiang Hetang would be burned to death after chasing his wife.
Mingyue waited at the gate of Kunning Palace for a long time, but there was no movement. She felt sad, thinking that at least Yuan Tianzhen would be with her, but...
At this moment, Mingyang came with an umbrella, "Mingyue, it's going to rain soon, brother will take you back."
"Brother." The little crybaby was aggrieved, tears welling up in his eyes. When he saw his big brother coming, he suddenly threw himself on him and burst into tears, "Wuwuwu."
Mingyue was finally carried back by Mingyang, and fell asleep on the way back.
When I woke up, it was already the next day.
In just one trance-like night, the capital city was in turmoil. The news that the Empress had murdered the Empress Dowager, and that the young prince had fallen from favor, spread throughout the streets and alleys.
