The most arrogant in history

Chapter 497: Palace Intrigue.



Chapter 497: Palace Intrigue.

The young eunuch was sweating profusely and stammered, "The eldest prince... suddenly went crazy, crying and laughing at the same time... The imperial physician was helpless..."

Ye Kun ran away before he finished listening.

Fengyi Palace was in chaos.

Ye Feng was crying and laughing, talking nonsense, and rolling on the ground. Several eunuchs couldn't hold him down.

Jiang Yourong was at a loss, and kept shouting, "Has the emperor returned? Imperial physician, call all the imperial physicians!"

The imperial doctors held Ye Feng down and began to diagnose him, but they did not dare to draw any conclusions.

Ye Kun arrived and shouted, "Don't panic, stay calm. What's going on?"

Jiang Yourong rushed over and grabbed Ye Kun's hand: "Feng'er was fine this morning, but after breakfast, he suddenly went crazy and didn't even recognize me..."

"What did you have for breakfast?"

“Mushroom stewed chicken!”

"Ouch, it's mushroom poisoning!"

Ye Kun waved at the eunuchs and doctors: "Hold Ye Feng down and give him an enema with clean water immediately! Come, take care of the Queen!"

These days, there is no specific medicine for mushroom poisoning, and the only treatment is enema.

Whether you can survive depends on God's will.

But Ye Kun felt that it should be no big deal.

Ye Feng was held down tightly, and he drank two full basins of water and vomited out all the yellow bile.

Gradually, Ye Feng also got tired and stopped struggling. He just begged: "Father, Mother...don't force me to drink anymore..."

Ye Kun nodded: "I already know him, it seems that everything is fine. Help the eldest prince up and send him to the bedroom to rest."

Jiang Yourong breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, thank you for the blessing of our ancestors..."

Ye Kun called the eunuchs and maids on duty in the kitchen and asked, "Where do the mushrooms that the eldest prince eat come from?"

"It was given by the Queen...

"Empress, where did the mushrooms come from?" Ye Kun asked Jiang Yourong suspiciously.

Jiang Yourong thought for a moment, then pulled Ye Kun into the inner room and whispered:

"It was before the Chinese New Year, when I was in Xiangyang. Baochan, Ruliu, Hongyun and the others came to see me. They all brought me local specialties from their hometowns and put them together, including dried mushrooms. But I don't remember who sent them.

Later, when we moved to Zhuo County, I brought those dried mushrooms with me to the kitchen for fear of wasting them. ”

Aunt Xue whispered, "Could it be that someone did this on purpose, wanting to harm Feng'er, and then..."

Ye Kun was startled and waved his hands hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense."

If this was a harem struggle, it would be terrible.

Ye Feng was the designated crown prince, although it was not announced, everyone knew it.

It is not ruled out that a certain lady, wanting her son to succeed her, took action against Jiang Yourong and Ye Feng.

Jiang Yourong was also a loyal person. He nodded and said, "Yes, they sent us gifts out of kindness. We can't just doubt them."

Ye Kun sighed: "Let's ask the imperial kitchen to bring the remaining dried mushrooms to have a look."

The Imperial Study soon delivered a bag of dried mushrooms.

Ye Kun didn't recognize it either, so he took a look and threw it aside.

All the ladies in the harem came to visit Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was no longer seriously injured and was lying on the bed to rest.

Several imperial doctors were watching and taking care of him.

Ye Kun called Xie Baochan, Xiao Ruliu and Madam Hongyun to talk to them privately.

"Feng'er was poisoned because she ate this poisonous mushroom. I heard from Yourong that you gave it to her in Xiangyang before the New Year, right?"

"Your Majesty, this is not a gift from me."

Xiao Ruliu looked at the mushroom and was the first to deny: "At that time, I gave Sister Yourong eight things, including pine flower cake, caviar, shark fin, Jiangnan lotus root powder..."

Xie Baochan also shook his head: "I have never seen these mushrooms."

"Did I send it?"

Madam Hongyun scratched her head and said, "I remember that my cousin came over and brought me some dried mushrooms. But I don't think I gave them to Sister Yourong."

Xiao Ruliu was on the side, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe you sent it, but you don't even remember it?"

Ye Kun waved his hand and smiled, "It doesn't matter who sent it. I just told you that some mushrooms are poisonous and can't be eaten carelessly. When you go back, check the food in the kitchen and make sure it's safe."

In fact, Ye Kun already had a suspect in his mind.

Not Madam Hongyun.

If this incident was done deliberately, Xiao Ruliu is the most suspicious!

Because she answered questions fluently and even remembered the eight gifts delivered that day!

Xie Baochan's son is three years younger than Ye Feng, and it cannot be said that there is no suspicion at all.

Madam Hongyun has no children and has a carefree personality. She doesn't understand Chinese culture and probably won't play any palace tricks.

Ye Kun was very relieved about Liu Yuejuan, Wei Caiqin and others.

Xie Baochan and others bowed and left.

Ye Kun went to see Ye Feng and comforted Jiang Yourong.

Jiang Yourong was still blaming herself: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given the mushrooms to the kitchen..."

"Yourong, this is not your fault. Could you have such bad intentions as to harm your own son?" Ye Kun held Jiang Yourong's hand:

"Feng'er is fine now, don't worry. Let's set up safety regulations in the kitchen in the future so that things like this won't happen again."

Huang Ye said on the side: "Your Majesty, let's restore the rule of tasting dishes in the future. We will strengthen the inspection of all ingredients in the imperial kitchen in the future."

Whenever the emperor ate, there was always someone to taste the food first to prevent it from being poisonous.

Ye Kun nodded: "I'll leave this matter to you. You must ensure the food safety of Fengyi Palace!"

After a pause, Ye Kun continued, "It's the same with the other ladies. They all need to ensure safety."

Sang Buyi and others were also waiting outside the palace, asking about the eldest prince.

Ye Kun said to Huang Ye: "Go tell the adults outside that the eldest prince is fine and let everyone go back."

In the afternoon, Ye Kun stayed with Jiang Yourong and his son.

Fortunately, Ye Feng recovered quickly and was full of energy and vitality shortly after noon.

Ye Kun instructed Huang Ye: "The ladies were all frightened today. Go and inform them to come to Fengyi Palace for dinner in the evening. I will chat with everyone."

Huang Ye took the order and left.

Ye Kun also instructed the imperial kitchen to prepare a few more dishes in the evening.

Everyone arrived before dusk.

Ye Kun asked everyone to sit down and called Ye Feng over: "Feng'er, you got into trouble today and scared everyone. These ladies are all your mother's sisters. They all care about you and came to see you. Go over and bow to everyone and thank them."

Ye Feng nodded and bowed to express his gratitude one by one.

Everyone stood up and returned the greeting.

Only Madam Hongyun nodded and said with a smile, "My dear son, you're welcome."

Everyone laughed.

Ye Kun couldn't help but smile, and said, "Feng'er has grown up. I plan to send him to the military school in Zhuo County, and he will live in the school in the future. I just don't know if the Queen is willing to let him go."

Jiang Yourong thought for a moment and said, "I'd be willing to let her study in Zhuo County. But do I have to go to a military academy at such a young age?"

"Military academies are for training people." Ye Kun nodded and said:

"It stands to reason that a king should not appoint a crown prince. But Feng'er's grandmother left a will that if I become the emperor, the crown prince must be Feng'er. So I plan to discuss with the nine ministers to appoint Feng'er as the crown prince as soon as possible and build a crown prince's mansion outside the palace. Let him learn to live independently, learn to leave his parents, and grow up gradually."

By making Ye Feng the crown prince, other people's ideas would be put to rest.

The Prince's Palace was built outside the palace to protect Ye Feng.

Everyone nodded.

Xiao Ruliu looked very uncomfortable and her smile was forced.
