Doctor Liu returned to Xishan Villa with the Tianshan Snow Ginseng brought back from Beiwang Mansion.
"Is Jiang Rong suspicious?" Concubine Zhao was overjoyed and asked cautiously.
Doctor Liu reported:
"The Crown Princess didn't say anything, but her maid complained that you were robbing things... Apparently she only thought you were robbing jade ginseng and didn't think of anything else..."
"Hmph, this little vixen only knows how to seduce men. She seduced Xie Lingxi so much that she fell head over heels for her. What does she know about the tricks in this house?" Concubine Zhao felt relieved and said proudly:
"Take this jade ginseng and cook it with safflower, and feed it to Mrs. Qiao to drink."
Doctor Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "But the young lady is not in good health. If she uses strong medicine again, I'm afraid... she will be harmed... and it will be difficult to have children in the future..."
"We have come this far, and you are still saying what to do, hurry up and do it!" Concubine Zhao waved her hands impatiently.
If Mrs. Qiao couldn't give birth, it's not like her son couldn't have a concubine.
It's not important to overthrow Jiang Rong.
Doctor Liu stopped talking and went down to boil the medicine.
Bring the cooked soup to Mrs. Qiao.
Qiao was very reluctant to let go of the fetus in her belly, but the baby was gone, so she could only drink the medicine with tears...
"Ah! It hurts! My stomach hurts so much..."
Not long after Mrs. Qiao drank the decoction, she started bleeding profusely...
……
Afternoon.
Jiang Rong and Xie Ruojiao were in Songhe Hall together, drinking tea with the old concubine.
"Grandma, look at this article. Isn't it very well written?" Xie Ruojiao took "Qianqiu·Juanxi", pointed to an article signed by Zhu Ke, and secretly recommended it.
Old Concubine Xie nodded with a smile, "It's really good with great literary talent. But I've read this book a long time ago."
How could the old concubine not support the study shop opened by her granddaughter-in-law?
I sent a stewardess to buy every issue.
"It turns out that grandma has also watched "Qianqiu"..." Xie Ruojiao suddenly realized.
While talking.
The nun who was guarding the door hurriedly came in and said, "His Majesty, Concubine Zhao is here crying..."
"What's going on? Let her in quickly..." Mrs. Xie suddenly had a bad premonition.
As soon as Concubine Zhao stepped in the door, she knelt on the ground, her eyes red, and she cried so hard:
"Mother-in-law! My daughter-in-law is useless. She failed to take good care of Ms. Qiao...she...her child is gone!"
Concubine Xie's face changed instantly, "How could this happen!"
"The jade ginseng... was given by the imperial concubine. The doctor ignored it for a while and did not check it carefully before taking the medicine... It was only when Qiao's accident happened that he discovered that the medicine contained potent abortive drugs..." Concubine Zhao wiped her tears. , cried miserably:
"We checked one by one and found that the jade ginseng had been soaked in safflower."
The maid accompanying her immediately presented a fragment of jade ginseng.
"This is the only thing left for later use, and I found it smelled like safflower medicine... I really didn't expect Jiang Rong to have such vicious thoughts..." Concubine Zhao looked at Jiang Rong aside, with anger in her eyes:
"You couldn't get pregnant yourself, so you were jealous of Mrs. Qiao and poisoned Mrs. Qiao. You are too cruel!"
Xie Ruojiao said, "You are talking nonsense! My sister-in-law is not such a person!"
"Old concubine! You must make the decision for Mrs. Qiao and her great-grandson who was killed!" Concubine Zhao kowtowed heavily and cried sincerely.
At first glance, someone who didn't know the inside story would really think that it was Jiang Rong who did it.
But Mrs. Xie's face was very serious and she just looked at her coldly, "Are you sure that the problem is with the jade ginseng and not some other negligence?"
"It's absolutely true! The jade ginseng is here, you will know after checking it..." Concubine Zhao said with tears.
"Then who knows if this jade ginseng was tampered with after it arrived at your place?" Xie Ruojiao asked.
Concubine Zhao immediately called out to Qu Dao, "How could Mrs. Qiao and I harm this child! He is Mr. Qiao's son and my grandson!"
This made Xie Ruojiao speechless.
Indeed, Mrs. Qiao and Concubine Zhao would not harm their own children, right? But her sister-in-law is really not this kind of person!
"Then will I harm my great-grandson?" Old Concubine Xie asked coldly.
Concubine Zhao stopped crying, "Concubine, you..."
"The jade ginseng in Jinyu Garden can't be found. This one was taken from me. Are you saying that I poisoned Mrs. Qiao?" Old Concubine Xie stared at Concubine Zhao and said coldly.
Concubine Zhao is like being struck by lightning, what? This jade ginseng actually belongs to the old concubine...
"The old concubine will definitely not harm the child. It must be Jiang Rong who borrowed it before she did it!" Concubine Zhao tried her best to argue:
"What she does after this jade ginseng falls into her hands has nothing to do with the concubine."
Jiang Rong said calmly:
"I have never seen this jade ginseng. After Feicui took the medicine from Songhetang, he went straight to deliver it to Dr. Liu who was sent by you. By the way, there were grandmothers beside Feicui along the way to deliver the medicine. I will accompany you. If Feicui did anything along the way, you can ask Aunt Zhou."
The personal nun beside the old concubine immediately stepped forward and said:
"Feicui took the jade ginseng from Songhetang's warehouse and gave it to Dr. Liu. The old slave testified with his own eyes that Feicui did not do anything!"
When Jiang Rong asked Feicui to pick up Jade Ginseng, he specifically asked her to find an excuse to take her grandmother's nanny to accompany her...
Be a witness for her.
Concubine Zhao was completely stunned. Jiang Rong seemed to know what she would do and cleaned everything up in advance.
"Ms. Zhao, what happened? Who harmed Mrs. Qiao's child?" Old Concubine Xie asked angrily.
Concubine Zhao came to her senses in a daze and stammered, "I don't know..."
"Grandma, the jade ginseng Dr. Liu came to borrow. Since something happened to the jade ginseng, it must be related to him. Catch him and torture him, maybe he will know something." Jiang Rong looked at Old Concubine Xie and said .
Old Concubine Xie nodded, "Come here, go to the Xishan Villa and arrest Doctor Liu!"
Concubine Zhao felt cold in her heart.
Although this Doctor Liu was a doctor that her family knew well and he was at her disposal, she didn't think he could handle the forced confession...
Done, done!
This is how to do.
……
soon.
The palace guards arrested Doctor Liu.
"Grandma, there was something wrong with this medicine in his hands. Even if he was beaten to death, we can explain it to the government." Jiang Rong looked at Doctor Liu and said calmly:
"Let's give him eighty strokes first. This kind of quack doctor with evil intentions wants to murder my sister-in-law. Let's beat him first!"
Doctor Liu was originally somewhat loyal to Concubine Zhao.
but……
This loyalty is only worth ten pieces.
After the guard slapped her ten times, Doctor Liu couldn't hold on anymore and wailed: "I'm just following orders! Concubine Zhao ordered me! The Yinan soup she gave to Mrs. Qiao hurt her." The fetus! The child cannot be saved! So she blames the Crown Princess!"
Concubine Zhao, who was in a state of anxiety, turned even pale when she heard these words.
