Chapter 320 The medicine was transferred
"Why is the princess still acting like a child? It's so funny~" Su Qing laughed.
"You girl, how dare you laugh at me~" The two chatted and laughed all the way to the princess's mansion, and Su Qing said goodbye to the princess.
When Su Qing returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it was already quiet. She went back to Yilan Courtyard, prepared the medicine for the Queen, ground it into powder, and packed it in packets, preparing to go to Jishidiang tomorrow to pretend to get some medicine.
Two days later, Su Qing entered the palace, handed the medicine to the queen, and told her how to take it.
The queen was very grateful to Su Qing for this and gave her some gifts that she had brought from the Xia Kingdom.
When the queen saw that the medicine did not need to be decocted, she simply asked the palace maid to put it away.
A servant from Concubine Qing's side came to report, "Madam Concubine Qing, I just found out that the wife of Young Marquis Jiang Weiyang went to prescribe some medicine for the Queen, saying that it can cure the Queen's illness."
"Oh? Then how can we cure her? Come here, I'll tell you something."
The servant came forward and whispered to Concubine Qing, "Find a palace maid you know well and replace the Queen's medicine without anyone noticing. Replace it with something that takes a long time to work. Be careful. Do you understand?"
The servant received the order and left in a hurry.
A few days later, the queen suddenly fell ill! This happened without any warning, catching everyone off guard. The emperor was extremely worried and quickly summoned various doctors with superb medical skills to treat her. However, despite the best efforts of these doctors, they were still helpless in the face of the queen's illness.
The emperor was furious. He could not accept the fact that his beloved queen was suffering from such a disease and no one could cure her. He issued a strict order to investigate the matter thoroughly, find out the cause of the disease and seek effective treatment.
When Concubine Qing heard the news that the Queen was ill, she was secretly delighted. She had always been jealous and resentful of Su Qing, and she hoped that Su Qing would be punished for this incident. At the same time, Concubine Qing also saw a great opportunity to eliminate the Queen and improve her own status.
At this critical moment, the power struggle within the palace becomes more intense. Everyone has their own goals and intentions, and the fate of the queen becomes the focus of this struggle. Who can finally solve the mystery of the queen's illness? Who will have the last laugh in this ever-changing palace contest? Everything is full of unknowns... However, after some investigation, the emperor called Su Qing and asked her to explain in front of everyone.
After Su Qing took the medicine, she had a little doubt in her heart. She carefully looked at the medicine foam in her hand. With years of experience and keen sense of smell, she immediately realized that there was something wrong with these medicines. This was definitely not the medicine she prepared personally!
What was even more shocking was that after some testing, Su Qing discovered that these medicinal foams were actually chronic poisons! Her face turned pale instantly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Even with her toes, she could understand that someone was trying to murder the queen, and she became a casualty. Such a sinister and cunning method was really shocking!
At this moment, the first suspect that came to Su Qing's mind was Su Wanrong. She knelt down without hesitation and explained to the emperor eagerly: "Your Majesty, please check! This medicine was definitely not prepared by me. The medicine I presented to the Queen before was absolutely fine. I am willing to guarantee it with my life!" There was firmness and fear in her voice, hoping to arouse the emperor's trust.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, staring at Su Qing with a pair of majestic eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Is there any evidence?"
Su Qing's heart tightened, but she quickly calmed down. She took a deep breath, raised her head to meet the emperor's gaze, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask the imperial doctors to check the ingredients of this medicine."
The emperor nodded slightly to indicate his agreement. Su Qing immediately took action and personally led a group of imperial doctors to conduct a detailed examination of the medicine.
She observed the herbs with full concentration, using her years of accumulated medical knowledge to identify them one by one. Gradually, her brows began to frown - she actually discovered that several key herbs had been quietly replaced with highly toxic substances!
Su Qing's heart was filled with anger and shock. These poisons would not only affect the efficacy of the medicine, but could also cause serious harm to the body of the person taking it, or even endanger his life! She was secretly glad that she had discovered the problem in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
However, on the surface, Su Qing remained calm and composed. She presented the results of the examination to the emperor and explained the ingredients of the medicine in detail.
After Su Qing finished her report, the emperor slammed the table and stood up, angrily scolding: "How dare you do such a thing under my nose! Come on, investigate this matter thoroughly and find out the mastermind behind it!" With his order, the palace suddenly fell into a tense atmosphere...
"Your Majesty, someone has tampered with the medicine. Someone intends to murder the Queen! And they want to put the blame on me!" Su Qing said in a firm tone.
The emperor's face turned gloomy. He was determined to find out who had done this to his beloved. He would do whatever it took to get rid of the queen.
The emperor ordered the palace to be sealed off and all those who had come into contact with the medicine to be closely scrutinized. For a time, the entire palace was in a state of panic and everyone was in danger.
Su Qing knew that this matter was of great importance, so she decided to secretly assist in the investigation, hoping to find the real culprit as soon as possible and give justice to the victim. Therefore, she used her wisdom and connections to launch a secret investigation in the palace.
During the investigation, Su Qing carefully analyzed every clue and did not miss any clues. After some effort, she found some strange clues, which seemed to point to Concubine Qing. Although she was a little confused, Su Qing did not jump to conclusions easily, because she knew that before there was solid evidence, everything was just speculation.
However, the next thing that happened made Su Qing more suspicious. One day, Su Qing accidentally discovered the meeting between Concubine Qing and a mysterious person in the palace. She was shocked and immediately realized that this might be an important clue. So, she quietly followed them and observed their every move from the dark.
The mysterious man whispered, "How is it going?" Concubine Qing replied proudly, "Everything is going according to plan, except that the woman is not dead yet. But we will achieve our goal soon."
Hearing this, Su Qing's face turned very ugly. She finally confirmed that Concubine Qing was the mastermind behind the incident! However, she couldn't alert the enemy and had to find a way to get solid evidence to bring Concubine Qing to justice.
Su Qing secretly made up her mind to uncover the true face of Concubine Qing and seek justice for the Queen and herself. So she asked Ruyi to continue to follow Concubine Qing and look for more evidence...
Su Qing finally handed the collected evidence to the emperor. The emperor was furious and ordered Concubine Qing to be sent to the cold palace.
Su Qing came to the palace every day to treat the queen, and the queen's condition gradually improved.
Su Qing was rewarded by the emperor for her contribution in curing the queen.
