  Chapter 45 Burning Incense (3)

  More than a dozen guards came in from outside the palace and dragged away the trembling palace maids and eunuchs one by one.

  "It's unjust, Your Majesty!"

  "Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

  "Your Majesty, this servant doesn't know anything! Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty!"

  …

  Amidst the cries and howls of the crowd, Yu Xingyan and Lu Ji rushed to the side of the man in the palace. When they saw the unconscious woman on the couch, they both had something to worry about.

  Yu Xingyan hurriedly stepped forward to stop the guard and plead with Lu Xuanjing, "Auntie, she has always been kind at heart and treated her servants very well. When she wakes up and knows that your majesty has angered everyone because of her, she will probably be sad for a long time. I am. I dare to beg Your Majesty to spare their lives."

  Snake hits Qicun. As soon as Yu Heng was mentioned, Lu Xuanjing regained some of his rationality.

  Yes, Heng'er is the most pure and kind person. If she knew that she had executed the cronies around her, she would definitely be angry with herself.

  However, he was still angry and ordered the guards to beat the servants they were serving twenty times each.

  Seeing that everyone was no longer in danger, Yu Xingyan breathed a sigh of relief.

  She originally wanted to go closer to see her aunt's condition, but Lu Xuanjing was standing in front of the couch, so she had to give up the idea and began to observe carefully in the palace.

  Lu Ji glanced at the man who was already looking crazy, his expression became cold, he walked to the kneeling imperial doctors at the end and asked them: "How is the imperial concubine?"

  The leading imperial physician sighed and said, "Your Highness, I don't know this either." He exchanged glances with the remaining people: "After the incident, we inspected the entire Xueqing Palace. We went to the refreshments at the entrance to eat, and we checked all the items that the imperial concubine often used, including her personal clothes, but we didn't find anything wrong at all."

  "The imperial concubine seemed to have suddenly contracted this disease. We tried dozens of ways to wake her up, but none of them worked."

  Yu Xingyan listened and frowned slightly.

  A young imperial physician, about thirty years old, also chimed in: "Just now, those slaves said that the food that the imperial concubine eats is the same as usual, and there is no change. We don't even know where to start."

  "Look at this." Yu Xingyan opened the paper package in his arms and put it under the noses of several people.

  The imperial doctors sniffed it, shook their heads and said, "We have already checked the ashes in this incense burner, and there is nothing special about it."

  Lu Ji's eyes flashed and he saw Yu Xingyan bringing a bowl. His heart moved and he watched the movements of her hands.

  Yu Xingyan followed Shen Dai's steps in the afternoon, poured water into the tea bowl, and stirred evenly. When the green foam floated up and a fishy smell came, the faces of several people changed slightly.

  When they checked, their priority was today's food. This fragrance was something the imperial concubine and the empress were used to. After sniffing it, they felt that there was nothing unusual about it, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
