Chapter 455 Overdose

"What's the reason?" King Lu asked.

Yuan Zhen lowered his head, his messy hair covered the emotion in his eyes.

Meng Yu said: "His Royal Highness King Lu, according to my investigation, the empress must have taken an overdose of some kind of medicine. As for the specific medicine...you have to ask the people who serve the empress."

Bi Yan knelt down in front of the crowd.

"Bi Yan, you have been serving the queen, tell me, what medicine is the queen taking recently?" the emperor asked.

Bi Yan leaned down, choked with sobs, and said: "I dare not hide it, my lady has been eating cold food lately."

"What, Hanshi San?" The emperor's face changed slightly.

He has always hated these things that wear down the mind and body.

Zhao Yuanjing stood not far away, showing a thoughtful expression.

Wrapped in a cloak, Jin Yao said in a low voice, "Your Highness, why would the Empress eat this kind of thing?"

"In recent years, it has become more and more popular to eat this in Beijing. However, it is mostly eaten by men, but it is rare for women to take it." Zhao Yuanjing said.

At first, older men ate it and wanted to strengthen their yang. Later, even young men also took it as a fashion.

Of course, there is no need for Zhao Yuanjing to explain this to Jin Yao.

If it were Yun Dai instead, he would be happy to say more.

The emperor was already angry.

He didn't expect that the queen, as the mother of a country, would eat these things privately.

"The queen mother has always been in the palace, and she doesn't even go out recently. Where can I get these things?" King Lu didn't believe that the queen mother would be so depraved. "Someone must have intentionally harmed the queen mother!"

Bi Yan cried and said: "Your Majesty has been eating cold food powder for a while. Although she has a bad temper, her body has always been good and it doesn't affect her. But today she suddenly..."

"Han Shi San, bring it to me!" Lu Wang said.

Bi Yan hurriedly got up, went to the back room and found a bottle, and held it in front of King Lu with both hands.

King Lu took it, opened it, looked at it, and frowned: "It's empty?"

Bi Yan was stunned: "No, there is only one full bottle in it, and I saw it at noon."

"Look for yourself!" King Lu threw the bottle to her.

Bi Yan hurriedly picked it up, but sure enough the bottle was empty, and there was no cold food powder left.

She turned pale, and muttered to herself: "Why is this happening? I obviously saw that there is still a full bottle...According to the usual habits of the empress, this is a month's supply. The empress has always paid attention to it, because she knows Eating too much is not good, so pay attention to controlling the amount.”

Doctor Meng took the bottle, sniffed it, and said, "That's right, it's exactly this one. It's because the Empress took too much Hanshi Powder once that caused..."

"The queen mother is always cautious, why did she suddenly eat so much cold food powder today?" King Lu refused to believe that the queen mother would kill herself no matter what.

He firmly believes that someone murdered his mother.

The emperor said: "This matter is indeed strange. Let this Biyan be interrogated."

Bi Yan usually served the queen, she was the most suspicious.

Biyan cried and said: "Your maidservant has been serving your empress for more than ten years, how could you harm your empress? Your empress is really in a bad mood today, and she vomited blood in anger this morning. After the imperial doctor came to see her, your empress fell asleep for a while. Meals are used. The slaves really don’t know!”

"Is the queen mother vomiting blood?" Lu Wang grabbed her and asked, "Who made the queen mother spit blood?"

Bi Yan looked in the direction of the prince hesitantly, and said in a low voice: "Yes, it is His Royal Highness, who ordered people to send so many peonies and peonies, and the empress vomited blood when she saw it..."
