This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 298 Is it milky or light milky? 1

Wen Shichu was using acupuncture to detoxify, while Zhang Mi and Wei Lin were outside explaining the reason to the emperor.

"How to poison?" The emperor stopped stringing beads in his hand and asked Zhang Mi who was lying on the ground.

The Queen, Concubine Hua and Shen Meizhuang remained silent, all waiting for Zhang Mi to explain.

"It should be that the wooden comb used by Concubine Wan was stained with oleander pollen. She combed her hair with the comb every morning and night, and the pollen poison penetrated into her scalp. Over time, it may be that Concubine Wan's physique became sensitive after pregnancy, so it was discovered in time today. If it was any later, I'm afraid..."

Zhang Mi wanted to say something but stopped himself. Everyone present knew what he was going to say next.

"Your Majesty, because Your Majesty had a hard time during her pregnancy, Doctor Wen suggested that you use a wooden comb to comb your hair every morning and evening. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would be poisoned. The person who poisoned her had sinister intentions. Your Majesty, please help Your Majesty." Jinxi knelt down and pleaded with the emperor.

"How did the oleander pollen get on the comb?" Shen Meizhuang asked.

"To reply to Concubine Hui, the person who poisoned her must have sprinkled oleander pollen into the osmanthus hair oil that Concubine Wan used every day. She would dip the comb in the osmanthus hair oil before using it." Wei Lin replied.

"Oleander pollen has a faint sweet fragrance, just like the light milky aroma of milk, but the smell is lighter. Therefore, the osmanthus scent covers the smell of oleander pollen, and most people can't detect it." Wei Lin went on to explain.

There is a milky scent, or a light milky scent, but it is covered by the fragrance of osmanthus. The person who poisoned it was really thoughtful.

"Where does the osmanthus hair oil come from?" The emperor looked up at a row of things and his eyes fell on the small porcelain bottle of osmanthus hair oil that Pei'er was holding.

Using osmanthus oil to nourish hair is a common thing used by women in the palace. Even if ordinary people are on guard, they would not think of this. The intention to harm people is really omnipresent.

Shen Meizhuang felt something was wrong when she looked at the osmanthus hair oil, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"This osmanthus hair oil was obtained from the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the quota. Concubine Wan has always used it." Jinxi said.

"I remember that Huang Guiquan, the general manager of the Imperial Household Department, is a distant relative of yours, Concubine Hua?" The Queen had been silent for a long while, and now she suddenly spoke to Concubine Hua.

"What does the Empress mean by this?" Concubine Hua was confused at first, but she heard that the Empress was trying to divert the trouble to her side. "The Empress and the Emperor and the Empress Dowager made the final decision on who to hire in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although I have the power to assist in managing the six palaces, I have never overstepped the boundaries in managing the six palaces."

"Could it be that this osmanthus oil came from the Imperial Household Department and that is my fault?" Hua Fei directly pointed out the implication in the Queen's words. If she didn't point it out, the Emperor, who was a very suspicious person, would really doubt her in his heart.

But if it is made clear and denied, the emperor will only have a little suspicion.

"Although this osmanthus oil comes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we don't know how many people it passed through before it was delivered to Suiyuxuan."

Shen Meizhuang suddenly spoke up, "Besides, you have this osmanthus oil, and I have it. Every palace has it, and the bottles are the same. If we poison it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and then send it to Suiyuxuan, it will be quite troublesome."

"Oh? So Concubine Hui means that the person who poisoned is from Sui Yuxuan?" The Queen followed up on Shen Meizhuang's words and spoke.
