From God's point of view, it's easy to think that Hua Fei poisoned it, but why did the bald head say it wasn't her? There are three reasons:
(1) First of all, we need to know that the real mastermind of the fake pregnancy rivalry is Cao Qinmo. As we said earlier, Cao Qinmo is a man who knows how to take advantage of the situation. Even by creating the illusion of pregnancy for eyebrow zhuang, a woman who has been a mother like Jifei and Xinchang was invited to help her, so she is different from Huafei who knows how to hide behind the scenes and be a passerby.
In the whole fake pregnancy competition, except Liu Fan, other aspects can be said to be almost perfect. The result of this incident is that Shen Meizhuang can hardly turn over. Cao Qinmo is not stupid enough to poison her again. Being a thief is a crime, and it will only expose the fox's tail, so even if Huafei wants to do this, Cao Qinmo will stop her.
(2) Is it possible that Hua Fei hates Shen Meizhuang and wants to assassinate Shen Meizhuang behind Cao Qinmo's back? Let's take a look at Hua Fei's attitude towards this matter: if the emperor doesn't kill Shen Meizhuang, it is her ancestor. If you make fun of the dragon, she will die of old age in the palace!
This sentence of Hua Fei has two meanings: first, it shows that this matter is really serious, serious enough to be beheaded. Even if the emperor doesn't kill Shen Meizhuang, she can only wait to die of old age and have no chance to turn over; Second, it shows that Hua Fei is very sure about this matter, and she is confident that Shen Meizhuang will never be favored again.
In addition, when Hua Fei was in charge of the Sixth Palace during the palace epidemic, when she wanted to take advantage of the epidemic to harm Shen Meizhuang, she once said: It is really cheap for her not to cure Shen Meizhuang's capital crime!
Pay attention to this sentence, "Cure Shen Meizhuang's capital crime". Who can cure her of capital crime? The emperor, of course. Therefore, what Hua Fei expressed here is: It is very cheap for her not to let the emperor execute Shen Meizhuang through a fake pregnancy competition! This is in line with the previous statement that "the emperor did not kill Shen Meizhuang, which is the virtue of her ancestors." And if Hua Fei poisoned herself, her line was "I couldn't have poisoned Shen Meizhuang at the beginning".
(3) The above mentioned irrationality of motivation, let's take a look at the testimony results. After Hua Fei's downfall, Zhou Ninghai's testimony in court included Cao Guiren's talk about cassava flour, the death of Chun Guiren, accepting bribes to sponsor officials, ordering the Yu family to poison Wan Guiren's medicine, pushing Hui Guiren into the water, framing Hui Guiren's false pregnancy, and giving Hui Guiren something used by imperial secretary suffering from epidemic diseases, so that Hui Guiren could catch the epidemic disease together.
Have you found that Zhou Ninghai, who has such a good memory, actually made a qualitative conclusion that Yu was responsible for the early drug poisoning of Wan, and also poisoned Shen Meizhuang? Why didn't he admit it?
If "food poisoning" is "attempted murder", it is not a big deal. Zhou Ninghai wants to escape guilt and be punished less. I have tried many things. Zhen Xuan's attempted poisoning and Shen Meizhuang's drowning are no big deal. Although Mei Zhuang finally got the epidemic, he was cured, so these Zhou Ninghai can completely admit it.
Therefore, to sum up three points, Hua Fei did not do it.
Why not the queen?
First of all, there is still no motive.
Some people say you think the queen is an old hand at poisoning. He poisoned Chunyuan around May 4th.
It seems so, but we still have to look at the problem from a developmental perspective. When the queen used this tactic, she was particularly anxious and the situation was even more serious. Now the situation in the harem is that the imperial concubine is full of energy and needs someone to divide it. At this time, the queen will not do it herself, and even if she does, she will be behind it.
Secondly, what the queen doesn't like is arrogant and bossy, such as Fang Guiren and Fu Chagui. Empresses often think that this person's status will threaten them, fearing that these people will become the second imperial concubine in the future.
But Shenmeizhuang has always been a typical safe and proper place. Even if the emperor gave him the right to associate with the sixth house, eyebrow zhuang was not arrogant, and the queen recognized this person.
So the Queen and eyebrow zhuang never had any problems. When Mei Zhuang fell into the water, the queen was favored by Shenyang. At this time, eyebrow zhuang fell out of favor. At this time, the backup knife is really superfluous. This is not something a queen can do.
Why Jingjing?
Poisoning eyebrow zhuang's food, of course, Jin Jing didn't really hurt eyebrow zhuang, so why did she do it?
(1) From the incident of Shen Meizhuang falling into the water, Jin Jing found that this was the means of Hua Fei. But at that time, I forbeared because I was afraid of the influence of Huafei, so after fake pregnancy and rivalry, Jin Jing naturally guessed that this was a despicable means of Huafei's team.
As mentioned earlier, Jin Jing predicted that Zhen Xuan's team had the strength to dominate the harem and had taken the initiative to show kindness to Zhen Xuan; But Zhen Xuan doesn't seem to care about it. He still plays well with Mei. While Mei Zhuang was with her in Xianfu Palace, she only had a heart-to-heart meeting with Zhen Xuan once, and never had a chance to join this clique. Then this fake pregnancy confrontation event is another good opportunity to close the relationship between her and Zhen Xuan's team, so Jin Jing will play along and make a simple game to design a food poisoning event.
(2) In this harem, not only eyebrow zhuang and Hua Fei were sworn enemies, but she was once the princess in Hua Fei's room, and suffered too much torture and humiliation, so she also wanted to kill Hua Fei from the bottom of her heart, but she was alone and lacked strength.
As I said before, in the harem, the struggle to reach the top position is not on our own, but on the basis of the situation. For example, Empress and Duan Fei Cao Qinmo, who have worked hard for so many years, still have the ability to observe and learn. She especially understands that only by uniting with the enemy as much as possible and with the help of more people can she have a chance to win a difficult war. Besides narrowing the distance with Zhen Xuan and eyebrow zhuang, we should further intensify their hostility with Hua Fei.
Let's take a closer look at the whole process of Shen Meizhuang's discovery of food poisoning: first of all, from eating in eyebrow zhuang to testing poison, it is under the guidance of respect; Secondly, when eyebrow zhuang found that the food was poisonous, he judged that the emperor was afraid that she would defile the royal reputation and poison her, but he was guiding her to think of Hua Fei, and at the same time saying "You are my palace lady" and "I can't escape" to close the strategic alliance with eyebrow zhuang. In the whole process, Jin Jing has been cleverly leading the target to Huafei's head.
After Ai Jing secretly told the emperor about it, the emperor said, Thank you for telling me that the food in Shen Shi is poisonous. Jin Jing once said: The emperor said it, but after listening to it, he forgot it. Why thank male and female servants?
Why didn't Ai Jing want the emperor to announce it? First, because there is no real evidence to prove Shen Meizhuang's innocence in the fake pregnancy contest, if the food poisoning incident is investigated, it is basically unresolved; Second, because it's her fault, she doesn't want to put herself in danger because of it.
If you don't pursue this matter, there are two advantages: first, you can take the opportunity to show that you are unwilling to participate in the struggle and hope to make peace, which is especially in line with the emperor's psychology and can win the favor of the emperor; Second, with the help of the emperor's suspicious personality, through the behavior of someone trying to poison eyebrow zhuang, it shows that someone wants to kill Shen Meizhuang to kill him, which proves from the side that Shen Meizhuang is probably framed.
That's why, in the later period, the imperial concubine will make Zhen Xuan toss and turn, with a headache. Therefore, on the surface of the harem, the struggle is just a kind of last-time geisha. The real masters are sweeping monk, keeping a low profile. If he moves the orchid finger, he can make full use of his own strength to reverse Gan Kun.
