Chapter 181 Perfume is poisonous

Of course, perfume cannot be poisonous, but after the perfume is bought by others, it may be poisoned by others.

What a coincidence. In order to please the nobles in the palace, Tong Guan took the task of purchasing perfume into his own hands.

It is worth mentioning that even now, perfume is still a luxury product. Even if Ning Fu gives the palace a discount, a bottle of perfume is still worth a lot of money.

There is a lot of money involved in the purchase of this kind of luxury goods, not to mention that Ning Fu and Tong Guan are so familiar that they can give him more discounts, so of course Tong Guan is not willing to let go of such a big money.

In the end, Tong Guan's greed finally killed him. He bought the perfume used by Concubine Liu, and even delivered it to Concubine Liu himself. Therefore, Concubine Liu was poisoned, and Tong Guan was also highly suspected.

After listening to Tong Guan's story, Ning Fu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing Tong Guan crying and mourning just now, he thought that Tong Guan had been convicted, but he didn't expect that he was just a suspect.

But this is normal. If Tong Guanzhen had been convicted, he would not have come to me for help. He would have been arrested long ago.

"The officials have so much trust in you, they shouldn't doubt you, right?"

Ning Fu thought for a while and then asked Tong Guan.

"The officials believe me, but the matter is so important that they must investigate this matter. So now that I have been temporarily dismissed from my post, I can't do anything but wait for others to investigate me."

Tong Guan also showed deep uneasiness at the end.

Although Tong Guan is a chamberlain, he has held a high position in recent years and can be said to have his destiny in his own hands.

But now his fate is in the hands of others, which is an uncomfortable feeling.

"So what has been found now? Do you know what kind of poison Liu Guifei was poisoned and what happened to the fetus in her belly?"

Ning Fu asked a series of questions.

"I don't know either. Now that I have suspicions, even if I find something, they won't tell me. It can be said that my eyes are completely dark now, and I can only ask Brother Ning for help."

Tong Guan replied with a grimace again.

"That's all, I'm going to the palace to meet the officials now!"

Ning Fu stood up immediately and said.

Liu Guifei's poisoning was related to the perfume, so Ning Fu reluctantly felt a certain degree of responsibility. At this time, he also had a legitimate reason to go to the palace to see Zhao Xu.

"Great, brother Ning, if you are willing to come forward, you will definitely be able to help the officials investigate this case!"

Tong Guan was overjoyed. He didn't believe that Ning Fu could really find out the truth, but he believed in his relationship with Ning Fu. At least he didn't have to worry about being framed by Ning Fu.

Without further ado, Ning Fu rushed to the imperial city immediately.

When he arrived at Chui Gong Hall, before he could enter, he heard Zhao Xu's angry scolding coming from inside.

When Ning Fu stepped into the main hall, he saw his father-in-law Liu Zheng standing there being scolded.

"I would rather see the official family again!"

Ning Fu quickly stepped forward and saluted.

Seeing Ning Fu come in, Zhao Xu was too embarrassed to scold Liu Zheng anymore. After calming down the anger in his heart, he said, "Ning Fu, why are you here?"

"I heard that there was something wrong with the perfume sent to the palace, so I went to the palace to apologize to the officials!"

Ning Fu stepped forward very sincerely.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Someone poisoned the perfume. There is no problem with other perfumes."

Zhao Xu explained to Ning Fu with a slightly brighter expression.

"I wonder what kind of poison Liu Guifei was poisoned with, and how is her health?"

Ning Fu took advantage of the situation and asked again. Even if the poisoning had nothing to do with the perfume, as a miracle doctor who had helped Concubine Wu deliver her baby before, it was normal for him to be concerned about Concubine Liu's mother and child.

"The poisoner had sinister intentions and used nux vomica. Although the dose was very small, it had a great impact on the fetus. Fortunately, it was discovered early and Liu Guifei was in good health, so they did not succeed!

"

Zhao Xu showed an expression of gritted teeth at the end.

He already had a daughter before, and Concubine Liu is pregnant this time, which is likely to be a son. If something happens to this child, Zhao Xu will definitely go crazy with anger.

When Ning Fu heard "nux vomica", his heart sank. This thing is highly poisonous, but it is also a traditional Chinese medicine. Taking a small amount can reduce swelling and relieve pain, but for pregnant women, it is a medicine for abortion.

.

"Officials, this is obviously someone targeting the fetus in Concubine Liu's belly. I wonder where the officials want to start investigating?"

Ning Fu asked again.

"Let Liu Shaoqing tell you!"

Zhao Xu stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Zhengdao.

Liu Zheng also had a sad face at this time. He was originally just a young minister, but the minister of Dali Temple was old and had already submitted his resignation, so the case fell on him.

"Ahem, we now suspect that the other concubines in the palace were jealous of Concubine Liu Guifei, so they attacked the fetus in her belly, so we arrested all the maids and chamberlains around the concubines in the palace and interrogated them one by one, but now

Nothing came of it."

Liu Zheng said again with a helpless look, it was precisely because the interrogation did not yield results that he was scolded by Zhao Xu.

"No, how did you find out that perfume is poisonous before?"

Ning Fu suddenly asked Liu Zheng, and looked at Zhao Xu while speaking.

“Dali Temple didn’t find out that perfume is poisonous!”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xu suddenly spoke at this time.

"Concubine Liu Guifei was poisoned before. I immediately ordered people to carefully check Concubine Liu's palace. It was found that the perfume had been opened and the color of the perfume had changed a little. Finally, the imperial physician in the palace discovered that the perfume had been poisoned."

"That's even more wrong. Pregnant women cannot use perfume. There is an instruction manual in the perfume packaging box. Anyone who uses perfume regularly will definitely know this!"

Ning Fu questioned again.

Perfume not only uses alcohol, but also some spices and Chinese medicines. The effect of these things on pregnant women is unknown and may cause abnormal fetal development.

Therefore, there will be instructions for use in the perfume packaging box, and even the store will clearly inform the user that pregnant women are not allowed to use perfume. Liu Guifei should know this, so it should be impossible to use perfume after pregnancy.

"Huh? Are you saying that Concubine Liu has never used perfume since she was pregnant?"

Zhao Xu's heart moved and he immediately asked Ning Fu.

"Pregnant women cannot use perfume. This is something we have been warned many times when selling perfume in stores. Concubine Liu Guifei must know this!"

Ning Fu was very sure that although Tong Guan was the middleman, he should have told Concubine Liu, not to mention that the instructions for the perfume also said that no one would neglect it.

"Quickly, send someone to ask Concubine Liu whether she has used perfume since she was pregnant?"

Zhao Xu immediately ordered, and immediately some of the servants rushed to the harem.

After a while, I saw the chamberlain rushing back to report: "To report to the official family, Concubine Liu said that she has indeed not used perfume since she was pregnant!"

"That's strange. Since the imperial concubine has never used perfume, even if someone poisons the perfume, it should have no effect unless..."
