Chapter 158 An unexpected gain
Quanzhong took the order and left.
"Your Majesty, do you agree to the autopsy?" Shen Yindi's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile again.
"Yes! I will verify everything you just said one by one!" Emperor Chu promised solemnly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The King of Chu felt his mood became even more complicated and heavy.
Sure enough, when you are in the imperial family, you have to be careful at all times.
If you are not careful, you will fall into someone else's trap. Even he is no exception.
"You wait here too, waiting for a result."
"Okay." She didn't want to leave.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Everything can be solved. Being too anxious is draining your energy! It's bad for your health." Shen Yindi expressed his concern at the right time.
"I know. I have been taking the medicine you gave me during this period of time, and I feel much better."
"That's good. As long as you are safe and healthy, that is my greatest wish. My prince will definitely find evidence quickly and clear my name!" Shen Yindi said solemnly, and she was suddenly full of confidence again.
The King of Chu said nothing, but his complexion was obviously much better than before.
When it was quiet, Shen Yindi's stomach suddenly rumbled.
The King of Chu looked at her. Shen Yindi scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I am sorry to have embarrassed you. This morning, before I even got up, you sent someone to call me into the palace. I didn't even have a sip of water..."
"Come on, accompany me to have breakfast."
The Emperor of Chu felt inexplicably much better at this moment.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Yindi didn't hesitate. She was really hungry.
They walked to the outer hall of Empress Xian's bedroom.
The King of Chu asked Duofu to serve breakfast.
Shen Yindi was not in a hurry to sit down, but began to observe the place where Concubine Xian was.
"What are you looking at?" Emperor Chu couldn't help but feel curious when he saw that she was still looking around.
"Your Majesty, where did you eat when you were at Concubine Xian's place before?" Shen Yindi asked curiously.
"It's the round table I'm sitting at now."
Shen Yindi came over and saw a tablecloth on the round table. As soon as she saw it, she felt something was wrong.
She gently stroked the surface of the tablecloth with her hand...
"Your Majesty, please go and call Doctor Xu from the Imperial Hospital! I have something to say to him. Ask him to bring his own poison testing tools," Shen Yindi reminded.
When the King of Chu heard her say this, his brows furrowed.
"What are you going to do?"
"Forgive me for being so bold, but I'll keep it a secret for now, okay?"
"Let Doctor Xu come and verify it later. Otherwise, it's just my one-sided statement and it doesn't seem convincing." Shen Yindi's tone relaxed a little.
"Okay." Emperor Chu did not object.
About an incense stick of time later, Doctor Xu came hurriedly with a medicine box in his hand.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"
"Ai Qing, please be fine."
"Haven't you always wanted to meet the doctor who treated me? It's her, Shen Yindi." Emperor Chu introduced indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu looked at Shen Yindi in surprise.
It was a little hard to believe, perhaps because I didn't expect her to be so young.
After the shock, his eyes turned into admiration.
"Miss Shen, I'm sorry for your rudeness! You are truly amazing!" Doctor Xu didn't know how to praise her.
For a moment, I was at a loss for words.
Shen Yindi didn't care about this.
She still has work to do.
"Doctor Xu, can you take a look at this table mat? Is there anything wrong with it?" she asked directly.
Doctor Xu was suddenly frightened. Was it so sudden?
He's going to be tested as soon as he gets here? Then he has to perform well.
Doctor Xu began to observe the table mat carefully, and then rubbed it with his hands.
Tried it in various places.
Sure enough, he discovered something was wrong.
The thickness of the tablecloth on the table is different from the thickness of the cloth hanging below!
He took out a scraper and tried to scrape something off the surface of the round table.
You know what, he actually scraped off a tiny layer of something that looked like wax.
The King of Chu looked at this and his expression turned ugly.
Doctor Xu took out some paper to wrap up the thin layer of things. It turned out that he scraped off quite a lot. He wanted to continue scraping, but was stopped by Shen Yindi.
"Doctor Xu, please save some. It will be useful later!"
"Um... okay." He didn't know what else it would do, but since the little doctor said so, he would of course wait and see.
At this time, Duofu brought breakfast over with the palace maids.
Shen Yindi asked them not to do it yet.
She looked at Duofu and asked, "Which one is the hottest? Put it on top first."
The palace maid put the soup of bird's nest porridge on top first.
"Okay, put these down and you can go out first."
"Everyone, step back." Emperor Chu waved his hand, and even Duofu was not around.
The other items were placed on another table first.
After that, there were only three people left here.
"Your Majesty, please smell it carefully. Is there any odor? Doctor Xu, please smell it too." Shen Yindi reminded.
Generally, medical students have a very keen sense of smell.
Doctor Xu was no exception.
After all, he is Dr. Liu's most proud student. He is gifted.
Not long after, he exclaimed: "Miss Shen, I smell it. It's a faint fragrance. If you don't smell it carefully, you really can't smell it!"
"I understand what Miss Shen means!"
The King of Chu pursed his lips, looking displeased.
He doesn't understand.
"Lord Xu, what does this mean?" Seeing that they all understood but he was the only one who didn't, he felt a little embarrassed.
Doctor Xu quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this table mat is coated with a layer of wax. When hot food is served, the wax will melt and emit a light fragrance."
"I need to go back and test whether this fragrance is poisonous or not. I will report to you as soon as I have the answer."
The Emperor of Chu's expression became even uglier.
Good, very good. It turns out that he had been plotted against without knowing when.
I was totally unaware of it!
Thinking about how he had been dining with her ever since he brought her back, he had almost three meals a day here.
No wonder he felt that his health had been getting worse in the past one or two years!
It’s really painstaking!
Who could have thought that there was a way to poison someone like this? Without anyone noticing!
If it weren't for Shen Yindi, he would have been kept in the dark his entire life.
At this moment, Emperor Chu felt that his previous affection was so ridiculous!
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Let's eat first. I'm really hungry."
"Doctor Xu, would you like to eat together?" Shen Yindi actually invited him over.
Doctor Xu was immediately terrified: "I dare not."
Who knew that the King of Chu said, "Lord Xu, please sit down and eat with us. I will need you to do something later."
Doctor Xu was flattered. When had he ever had breakfast with the emperor? He couldn't even think about it.
At this time, Shen Yindi suddenly suggested: "Your Majesty, can you summon my prince to the palace as well?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Chu's expression changed slightly: "Why did you summon him to the palace? Give me a reason!"
