Chapter 318 Bite
The maidservant who was guarding her was terrified. She cried and shouted, "Your Majesty, please save the queen! Quickly order someone to kill the dog!"
Youyi stamped her feet anxiously: "No, the Fold Eared Dog wouldn't be so vicious. It's very well behaved and never bites anyone. The reason it went crazy and bit Madam De must have been provoked by something!"
The maid turned a deaf ear and reached out to strangle Zhe'er's neck.
In an instant, the vicious little folded ear directly bit off the piece of flesh that was biting Concubine De.
"Ah!" Defei screamed and fainted from the pain.
Lin Yiwan quickly stepped forward, raised her hand and pierced the folded-ear snake with a silver needle, and it calmed down in an instant.
It whimpered in grievance, then turned around and hid in the grass, shivering.
Emperor Sheng An's face was ashen and ugly, and the annoyance in his eyes made people terrified.
He did not order the doctor to come forward to treat Concubine De's injuries, but turned to look at Li Delu: "Go and bring a basin of cold water and wake Concubine De up quickly!"
The maid was stunned: "Your Majesty, the queen was bitten, we need to let the imperial physician treat her wound!"
Emperor Sheng An's sharp eyes suddenly fell on her: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The little maid was so frightened that she immediately crawled on the ground: "I dare not!"
Soon Li Delu brought over some ice water and, ignoring everyone's complicated looks, poured it directly on Concubine De's head.
She woke up slowly, her eyes full of fear.
Emperor Sheng'an's expression quickly changed to one of worry. "Defei, are you awake? Are you okay?"
Defei's teeth were trembling violently from the cold. How could she be okay?
How can you wake someone up like this!
What does the emperor want to do?
Although she was extremely angry in her heart, she said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, please help me. The dog that Madam Meng brought in bit off a piece of my flesh!"
Emperor Sheng An nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you. I will investigate thoroughly to see who is using Zhe Er to murder the concubines in the harem!"
Defei suddenly had a bad premonition in her mind. Wouldn’t the investigation lead to her being the one to find out?
As expected, Emperor Sheng An ordered Lin Yiwan, "Bring Zhe Er out and see what's going on with the tower."
Lin Yiwan walked to the bushes and held the poor dog in her arms.
She reached out and rubbed its little head: "Be good, don't be afraid, let me see what stimulated you and why you suddenly bite me."
When Concubine De saw this, she only hoped that the zhe'er would bite Lin Yiwan like it had bitten her.
It would be best to bite through her throat in one go and let her die on the spot!
However, it is counterproductive.
Zhe'er lay in Lin Yiwan's arms, refusing to move at all.
This made Concubine De very disappointed!
After a moment, Lin Yiwan had come to a conclusion. She said with a grim expression, "Your Majesty, someone smeared a dog-inducing poison on Xiaozhe'er's nose!"
Yuyi's eyes widened in disbelief, like a little deer's: "How could this happen? The Fold Ear is so well behaved, who would want to harm it?"
A complex expression flashed across Emperor Sheng An's face. He didn't want his daughter to be contaminated by the evil in the harem.
But she also understood that as a princess of the current dynasty, this was something she had to experience and deal with.
He said in a gentle voice: "Youyi, it's not that someone wants to harm Xiao Zhe'er, but they want to use your Zhe'er to murder your mother!"
Youyi burst into tears: "Father, don't do that. Youyi doesn't want anything to happen to Mother!"
Emperor Sheng An comforted him: "Your mother is fine. The one in trouble now is Concubine De. I have to help her find out the real culprit who poisoned Xiao Zhe'er!"
Youyi nodded vigorously: "Investigate. After finding out, I must make her apologize to my Scottish Fold. Why would she take advantage of an innocent little black dog?"
Emperor Sheng An quickly spoke: "Bring Madam Meng!"
Soon, Madam Meng, looking pale, came before Emperor Sheng An. She trembled and said, "I swear to heaven that when I entered the palace, little Zhe Er was still very docile and fine!"
When Concubine De saw the jade pendant hanging around her waist, she immediately felt relieved.
What a scapegoat, and he comes at the perfect time!
She gritted her teeth and said, "Mrs. Meng, you said you were wronged, so do you dare to let someone search you?"
Madam Meng replied in a trembling voice, "I was searched when I entered the palace, and I didn't bring anything dangerous with me!"
De Fei interrupted dissatisfiedly: "How can those people search thoroughly? Besides, they wouldn't recognize some medicinal powders. Now let the Marquis's wife search for you. Isn't she an expert in medicine? She will definitely be able to tell what is dangerous!"
Lin Yiwan curled the corners of her lips and found it ridiculous to see Concubine De thinking that everything was planned.
She said calmly, "Thank you, Her Majesty, for your kindness. Everyone knows that I have a good relationship with Madam Meng. If you ask me to search her, won't that obviously lead to suspicion?"
De Fei frowned and stared at her: "What do you mean?"
Lin Yiwan pointed at the maid beside her and said, "Let your people search. Only the results she finds will be convincing!"
Concubine De's ankle was in great pain. At this moment, she just wanted to quickly convict Madam Meng so that she could go back and treat her wound.
She said impatiently: "Hui'er, then you go!"
Hui'er pretended to touch Mrs. Meng's body a few times, and after a while, she grabbed her purse.
She hurried to Lin Yiwan and said, "Madam Hou, there's some powder in here. It should be the dog-inducing medicine that makes dogs go crazy!"
Lin Yiwan looked at her in surprise: "How do you know? Do you know about herbs?"
Hui Er looked away guiltily and said, "I don't understand. I was just guessing. Looking at this powder, it's definitely not a good thing!"
De Fei complained, "Lin Yiwan, why are you still hesitating? My maids have already found the dog poison. Are you going to deny it and protect this guilty woman?"
Lin Yiwan ignored her and lowered her head to carefully identify the herbs in her purse.
De Fei immediately burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I just returned to the palace to live, and a stray dog came from nowhere and bit off a piece of my flesh. I am in so much pain. I beg Your Majesty to uphold justice and not let the sisters in the harem be murdered again!"
Emperor Sheng An interrupted indifferently: "Isn't the Marquis' wife helping you investigate? Why are you howling?"
Concubine De froze. The emperor had changed!
In the past, whenever she frowned, he would scratch his head anxiously.
But ever since the queen became pregnant, he no longer cared about her!
Not to mention that he cruelly sent her sister Ye Ling to the top of Hongshan to be a bell ringer, just the fact that he looks so lonely now really makes her feel heartbroken.
At this time, Lin Yiwan slowly spoke: "Empress Defei, your maid Hui'er really misjudged it. This is not dog poison at all, but ordinary mosquito repellent. If you don't believe me, you can ask other imperial doctors to verify it!"
