The Favoured Medical Princess: 311 poisoning

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

"Is the prescription heavy?"

Mr. Wu couldn’t believe it. Taiyuan Hospital was best at prescribing safe prescriptions. It never sought merit but no fault. This prescription was even more cautious. If Nangong Yue said that the medicine should be used lightly, Dr. Wu might still You think it's right, but the prescription is too heavy...

"I have diagnosed the Ping'an pulse for the Queen Mother. Her constitution is relatively cold. Although she looks healthy, her foundation is not very good." Nangong Yue looked at the prescription and said, "For someone like the Queen Mother, once she is infected When dealing with summer heat, you must not use cold medicines. Instead, you should use warm medicines to slowly get rid of the heat. ... This prescription is indeed a good medicine, and it will definitely cure the disease when used on most people. However, it does not It’s just too suitable for a queen.”

Physician Wu also knew that the Queen Mother's constitution was on the cold side, so the prescription was two points lighter than what she used in the past. But they did not consider that the summer heat caused the Queen Mother's early illness to break out at the same time. The illness came so hard that even the usual prescriptions to relieve summer heat could not be withstood.

"Miss Wanxin, please remove a few ice basins from the Queen Mother's room, leaving only one basin."

In order to lower the temperature in the room, the imperial doctors specially ordered people to put in a few more ice basins, and asked all the people who were serving to retreat, leaving only the eldest maid Wan Xin. At this time, after Nangong Yue's instructions, Wan Xin quickly went out and called a few servants to come in and move the ice basin out.

Nangong Yue slightly tilted her head towards Dr. Wu and said, "I will perform acupuncture on the empress first."

Several imperial doctors stepped away one after another. Nangong Yue took out the golden needle and applied it carefully. Because she was picking acupuncture points on the top of her head, she did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. In just a moment, she was already sweating profusely. After about a cup of tea, Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief, calling Wan Xin to help the Queen Mother. Open your clothes and continue your needlework.

The screen blocked the eyes of all the imperial doctors. They waited anxiously, always feeling that the acupuncture time seemed a bit long.

Finally, Nangong Yue walked out from behind the screen, asked Wan Xin for some pen and ink, wrote a new prescription and gave it to Dr. Wu, saying: "Doctor Wu, please take a look, this recipe is still good."

Physician Wu took the prescription and glanced at it. He felt that the prescription was a bit strange. After looking at it carefully for a while, his eyes widened and he looked at Nangong Yue in disbelief.

Nangong Yue tilted her head at him and said, "Please ask Dr. Wu to prepare the medicine according to the prescription. I will report the Queen Mother's condition to the Emperor."

Physician Wu couldn't help but exert a slight force on his hand while holding the prescription, and responded calmly on his face: "Yes, Crown Princess." He had no doubts about Nangong Yue's medical skills and did not give the prescription to anyone else. , and directly asked his little medicine boy to take the medicine according to the prescription.

As soon as Nangong Yue walked out of the inner room, the empress and Yun Cheng who were waiting outside immediately stood up anxiously. Yun Cheng couldn't wait to ask: "Girl Yue, how is the empress?"

Nangong Yue smiled and said with a relaxed look: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please rest assured. The Queen Mother is just suffering from heat stroke. Yue'er has already had an injection and prescribed a prescription. After taking the medicine, The Queen Mother will wake up. Just adjust her a little later."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and then he sat back on the chair as if he had lost all strength. He took a long breath and said, "It's okay if your mother is okay, it's okay if you're okay..."

The queen and Yuncheng also felt relieved, and then they heard the queen think and say: "Your Majesty, I see that the heat will not come down for a while. After all, my mother is old, so we can't make any mistakes. ”

"The queen is absolutely right." The emperor said with lingering fear, "I immediately decreed that we go to the palace to escape the summer heat together. ... Queen, please make arrangements in the palace, and we will set off when the queen mother is more stable."

The queen agreed gently, and Yuncheng asked Nangong Yue, "Can I go in and see the queen now?"

Nangong Yue nodded and said: "Of course."

Hearing this, Yuncheng hurried into the inner room without even bothering to say a word to the emperor. The queen also followed in at the emperor's signal.

It was only then that Nangong Yue suppressed the smile on her face and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, can you speak further."

The emperor couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. He knew that Nangong Yue had always done things safely, and now he waited until Yuncheng and the queen were gone before saying such words, which must be of great significance.

The emperor nodded, took Nangong Yue to Dongnuan Pavilion, and sent everyone away, leaving only Eunuch Liu alone, and then asked: "Girl Yue, if you have anything to say, just say it. Could it be the queen's illness..." At this point, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"The Queen Mother is indeed suffering from summer heat." Nangong Yue paused and said, "It's just that... when Yue'er diagnosed the Queen Mother's pulse, she found that she seemed to have been poisoned by some kind of chronic poison."

"Poisoned?!" The emperor was shocked and blurted out, "Girl Yue, you said the queen..."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Queen Mother has not been poisoned for a long time. Yue'er has just given her an injection and her life is not in danger now." Nangong Yue said after a few words of comfort, "This time The heat is so intense that the toxicity will occur in advance."

Actually, there was nothing wrong with the prescription prescribed by the imperial hospital to relieve summer fever. The only mistake was that the imperial doctors did not diagnose that the Queen Mother was poisoned, so the medicine was not suitable for the patient. Her prescription not only relieves summer heat but also adds several drugs to suppress toxicity, so that the effect of the medicine can be exerted more thoroughly.

The emperor's face was ashen and he didn't speak for a long time.

Nangong Yue has been waiting quietly. After a long time, she heard the emperor say: "Do you know what kind of poison it is?"

Nangong Yue said truthfully: "There are thousands of poisons in the world, but Yue'er doesn't know about them. Yue'er's current prescription is based on the Queen Mother's pulse. It's no longer important whether she knows the type of poison."

The emperor confirmed again and again: "Is the Queen Mother really not in fear of her life?"

"That's the case for now." Nangong Yue said and added, "But if we can't find the source of the poisoning and continue to ingest this poison in the future, I'm afraid..."

In the palace, everything the Queen Mother entered was tested for poison by a dedicated person, but even so, it turned out to be poisonous.

The emperor felt a chill coming from the bottom of his heart. He suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice: "Who else knows about this?"

Nangong Yue replied: "Mr. Wu should be able to guess a few things about Yue'er's recipe when he sees it. Apart from that, only the emperor knows."

The emperor knew that she was doing things safely, so he nodded and waved her to leave.

When Nangong Yue returned to the Queen Mother's dormitory, most of the imperial doctors had been sent out, except for Imperial Physician Wu. Not long after, the emperor also came in and sat in front of the queen mother's couch, his face full of worry.

The medicine was cooked, and the emperor personally fed the queen mother to drink it.

After waiting for nearly two hours, the Queen Mother finally woke up and her face gradually turned rosy. Yuncheng cried and laughed, holding the Queen Mother's hand and talking incoherently.

Nangong Yue checked the Queen Mother's pulse again. After confirming that there was no serious problem, she wrote a new prescription and gave it to Doctor Wu.

At this time, it was already dark and the palace gate was about to close, so Nangong Yue submitted her resignation to the emperor.

The emperor originally wanted to keep her with the Queen Mother for a few more days, but after all, she was a married woman with a vocation, and she was not a medical woman. After all, it was inconvenient to stay in the palace all the time. In addition, the Queen Mother's condition had obviously improved, so he nodded. Yes.

Nangong Yue left Changle Palace, sat on the chariot and hurried towards the palace gate.

Her chariot was parked in front of the palace gate.

Nangong Yue rubbed her forehead with a tired look, and saw a figure getting off the Zhulun Car from a distance and coming towards her.

It’s Xiao Yi!

After Nangong Yue realized that she might have to stay in the palace for a long time, she asked Lily to come over and tell Xiao Yi to let him go back first. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi hadn't left yet. He had been waiting for him for at least four hours.

Nangong Yue quickly signaled to put down the walking chariot. As soon as she got off the walking chariot, Xiao Yi was already in front of her. There was a pampering in her peach blossom eyes that almost made her addicted. He held her hand and said with a smile: "We Go home."

All the fatigue seemed to be swept away at this moment, and a bright smile appeared on Nangong Yue's face.

The two got on the Zhu Lun chariot together. Xiao Yi poured her a book of herbal tea to relieve the heat, watched her drink it, and then ordered her to set off.

Nangong Yue did not blame Xiao Yi hypocritically for waiting for her for so long and not going back. It was a very happy thing to be remembered by others. She leaned on Xiao Yi's shoulder contentedly and let him feed him a few candied fruits, and then quietly told the Queen Mother about her condition.

Xiao Yi did not expect that the Queen Mother would be poisoned. He thought that the Queen Mother was just in a serious condition and the emperor refused to let Nangong Yue come back. Unexpectedly, the matter was much more serious than he expected.

Of course it is impossible for the Queen Mother to be poisoned for no reason.

The Queen Mother has never been involved in politics and has always lived in her own Changle Palace without fighting against the world. How could someone deliberately want to poison her. Or what are the benefits of poisoning her?

Nangong Yue continued: "The Queen Mother's poisoning should not last long, only about one or two months. Although I don't know what kind of poison it is, but judging from the pulse, it should take one or two years to react. It’s just that the person who poisoned me probably didn’t think that the Queen Mother was old, and no matter how well-maintained she was, her physical condition couldn’t be compared to that of an adult, so it would show up in advance because of a hot summer. If it hadn’t been for this hot summer, I’m afraid she would have His body will only gradually decline, and no one will even suspect it until he dies..."

In the past few years, the Queen Mother has treated her like her own granddaughter. Although it is to enable her to treat the emperor more devotedly, this feeling is still there to some extent. Now seeing that she almost lost her life due to poisoning, Nangong Yue couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"Stinky girl, don't think too much." Xiao Yi hugged her and comforted her, "I will take you back later and go to Xiaobai's place. The Queen Mother's poisoning will definitely affect the court. I will go and talk to Xiaobai. Let’s discuss what to do next.”

Nangong Yue nodded.

Nothing is trivial in the royal family. If you are not careful about anything, it may be deeply implicated. The emperor is pure and filial, and the poisoning of the queen mother will definitely cause the king's anger. No matter how the situation develops, they must be prepared first. .

After returning to Zhennan Palace, Xiao Yi sent Nangong Yue to Fufengyuan before leaving in a hurry.

I didn’t come back until two hours later.

At this time, Nangong Yue had finished washing and was leaning on the beauty's couch with her black hair spread out, absently reading a book. When she heard the door open, she raised her head and saw it was Xiao Yi. She was obviously relieved. She stood up and said, "Ayi, you're back... I asked them to prepare for midnight snacks." As she said this, she called Lily to come in and take a closer look. The ground ordered.

Xiao Yi happily watched her working for him. Although he had already used some things at Guan Yubai's place, it would be okay to eat more.

When Lily was ordered to go out, Xiao Yi pulled her back to sit on the beauty's couch and said bluntly: "Xiao Bai said it might be related to the establishment of the crown prince."

Nangong Yue's eyes widened, "Establish...the crown prince?"

"If the Queen Mother dies, she must be mourned, and during the mourning period, naturally she cannot appoint a prince."

Nangong Yue suddenly had an enlightenment. The Queen Mother was poisoned for about a month or two. At that time, the government and the public were speculating that the emperor would appoint the fifth prince as the crown prince. If everything went well, the Queen Mother would "die from the poison" in one day. Around the year, that time was also the end of the one-year inspection period given by the emperor to the fifth prince...

After the death of a mother, a son must observe mourning for three years.

If the Queen Mother dies, the emperor can only keep her for thirty-six days by replacing the sun with the moon, but due to the emperor's filial piety, it is very likely that she will be able to stay for three years. By that time, the matter of establishing a prince will probably be delayed indefinitely.

Nangong Yue felt chilled and looked at Xiao Yi blankly.

"That should be it." Xiao Yi nodded, confirmed her guess and said, "According to Xiaobai and I's inference, it should be one of the three adult princes, but who it is, we still don't know for the time being. ...Before I left, the emperor ordered someone to summon Xiaobai into the palace."

After Guan Yubai entered Fu Ling into the royal capital, the emperor seemed to want to deliberately ignore this person at first and would never take the initiative to summon him. But in the past few years, Guan Yubai has unknowingly entered the emperor's field of vision, making the emperor accustomed to asking him for advice when encountering difficulties.

Now that I think about it, it was also because of the poisoning of the Queen Mother.

The night seemed to have passed extremely long. When the morning came the next day, the emperor suddenly mentioned in the court that the summer heat this year was unbearable, and even the Queen Mother fell ill due to the heat, so he decided to take the Queen Mother with him. Went to Yinglan Palace to escape the summer heat and set off three days later.

This sudden decree caused an uproar throughout the entire court.

The Yinglan Palace was left behind by the previous dynasty. Every June, the emperor of the previous dynasty would take nearly ten thousand people, including princes, ministers, royal guards, and even concubines, princes and princesses, to this palace to escape the summer heat. They would not return to the palace until around the autumnal equinox. All.

Since the founding of the Dayu Dynasty, the late emperor occasionally went to Yinglan Palace for a walk, but now since he ascended the throne, he has never been there again. How could he suddenly think of going to escape the summer heat?

Some well-informed people knew that the Queen Mother had fainted from heat stroke the day before, and secretly lamented that the Emperor was truly filial.

The emperor appointed a list of those who would accompany him. Except for some noble families, the three adult princes and several princesses all accompanied him, leaving the five princes alone in the royal capital to supervise the country.

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Only the prince can supervise the country!

The emperor didn't care what they thought, he gave all the orders, and after preparing the trip with the Ministry of Rites, he withdrew from the court.

Not long after the disbandment of the dynasty, the news that the emperor was going to Yinglan Palace to escape the summer heat and that the fifth prince was supervising the country spread throughout the royal capital in a short period of time.

Not long after, Nangong Yue of Zhennan Palace also received the imperial edict and ordered Xiao Yi to drive to Yinglan Palace with her companions.

Although the emperor did plan to go to the palace to escape the summer heat yesterday after learning that the Queen Mother had suffered from heatstroke, Nangong Yue thought he would change his mind after learning the truth. Unexpectedly, he left even more hurriedly.

The fifth prince was left to supervise the country...

If the Queen Mother's poison is really as Guan Yubai speculates, it is because a certain prince wants to make the crown prince unable to succeed, then for the emperor, I am afraid that only the fifth prince is the least suspicious candidate at present. .

Nangong Yue shook her head and decided to wait until Xiao Yi came back to discuss it with him.

This sudden order to accompany the king caused chaos in the Zhennan Palace. Although Yinglan Palace was only one day away from the capital, after all, you had to prepare some essential travel items before you left the palace.

Nangong Yue asked Lily and Baihui to pack their luggage and entered the palace herself.

For several days, Nangong entered the palace at Yue Chen time and returned home at You time. Under her careful care, the Queen Mother's complexion gradually improved, and until the day of departure, she was able to get up and walk around.

On that day, when the genius was bright, Xiao Yi had already left the palace. He would enter the palace first and set off from the Meridian Gate with the civil and military ministers. Nangong Yue, on the other hand, will go to the west gate of the west city to greet the holy driver together with the female family members of other mansions, and then join the motorcade.

Nangong Yue told no one except Xiao Yi that the Queen Mother was poisoned. The maids just went to the palace to escape the summer heat and packed several carts of things. Even so, An Niang was still worried. I checked it carefully several times before leaving.

Lily comforted her with a smile: "Ms. An, the summer resort is only one day away from the capital. Even if you really need something, I can just come back and get it!"

It was okay if she didn't say it, but An Niang became even more worried if she did. How could she come back in time to get it?

Baihui glared at Lily secretly, and Lily stuck out her tongue, no longer daring to speak casually.

The hour was almost up soon. An Niang was afraid of missing the hour, so she began to urge Nangong Yue to go out... When the group of carriages and horses arrived at the west city gate, it had just reached the hour. At this time, the emperor's chariot should have just set off from the Meridian Gate, and there was still more than enough time.

After a while, the convoys of the Fu family brother and sister and the Yuan family brother and sister also arrived, but Yong Yang and Yuncheng were not seen. They entered the palace like Xiao Yi to accompany the emperor and empress dowager.

A few people chatted for a while by the official road, and then they saw the flag embroidered with the nine-clawed golden dragon waving, and the carriages and horses rumbling.

Everyone got off their carriages and horses, and after greeting the holy driver, they followed. It took nearly two hours for all the convoys to leave the west city gate.

Yinglan Palace is located in the northwest of the royal capital, only one day's journey away from the royal capital. It is surrounded by mountains and water, with beautiful scenery, and is suitable for summer vacation.

It was evening when we arrived at Yinglan Palace. After getting off the Zhu Lun Chao, Nangong Yue felt a cool breeze coming towards her face. The temperature here was obviously much cooler than that of the royal capital. It was indeed a summer escape left by the previous royal family. resort.

Nangong Yue quickly entered the palace under the guidance of the palace people.

The area of ​​this palace is several times larger than that of the imperial palace. The villa can be roughly divided into two parts: the palace area and the garden area. The palace area is centered on the main palace where the emperor lives, and is surrounded by many palaces, The courtyard is for the residence of royal ministers.

The scenic area of ​​this garden is even larger. It can be said that there are mountains, rivers, pavilions and pavilions.

This time, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue were arranged to live in Jingyuezhai, which was a courtyard closer to the main palace. It could be regarded as the emperor's attention to Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan.

As soon as they entered Jingyue Zhai, the servants settled down neatly, cleaning and tidying up... while Nangong Yue took a quick shower and changed clothes first, and when she was still drying her hair, Xiao Yi came back .

When the servants saw their master coming, they immediately went to help him prepare hot water for bathing. Baihui and Lily also hurriedly left.

Nangong Yue gathered her slightly messy black hair. Her hair was as dark, thick and thick as seaweed. When it was let down, it made her look particularly petite.

"Stinky girl!" Xiao Yi sat down next to her, holding a small basket in his hand, "What do you think this is?"

He couldn't wait to open the basket and bring it to Nangong Yue.

In the basket, there were clusters of red fruits and longan-sized fruits. They had obviously been chilled, and there was a clammy air blowing over them.

Nangong Yue picked up one and played with it, looking at the cracks on the shell of the fruit, she smiled and said, "Lychee?"

Of course Nangong Yue has eaten lychees, but they are mostly dried lychees. Lychees are abundant in the south. The fruit period is short and cannot be stored well. It is difficult to eat fresh lychees in the northern capital.

Nangong Yue smiled and asked again: "The emperor rewarded you?" Probably only the emperor and those wealthy businessmen who spent a lot of money would order people to send lychees all the way from the south,

Xiao Yi nodded. This morning he felt that it was extremely unlucky to be asked by the emperor to accompany him, but for the sake of the baskets of lychees, it was still barely worth it.

"Smelly girl, these are the lychees that have just been sent as tribute from the south. They are still fresh!" Xiao Yi also took out one and said diligently, "I will peel it for you!"

The lychees served as tribute are naturally of the best variety. The shell is thin and crisp. If you tear it open a little, you can see the gelatinous pulp and the white juice overflowing.

Xiao Yi thoughtfully brought it to Nangong Yue's lips. After she took a bite, she couldn't wait to ask: "Is it delicious?"

The cold lychees are sweet, juicy, mellow and full, and naturally delicious.

"Yes." Nangong Yue nodded vigorously, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, filling her face with the sweetness of lychees, blooming into a bright smile. His wholeheartedness is of course very sweet!

Xiao Yi seemed to have tasted the sweet taste, and smiled, and said: "Smelly girl, I will send someone to buy some from the south later, so that you can enjoy it!" With that, he took her place again. Peeled another lychee.

Nangong Yue looked at him with a smile, her eyes sparkling, and she picked up one and carefully peeled it off, then put it to his lips.

Xiao Yi’s eyes lit up and he took a bite with joy.

The fingertips traced across his lips, Nangong Yue's face turned red and she quickly retracted her hand.

Her face was full of shame, and she was even more charming. Xiao Yi was stunned and leaned over to kiss her lips gently...

Dong dong.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, followed by Lily's voice: "Prince Concubine, Miss Fu Liu is here to find you."

Xiao Yi looked annoyed. He must, must, immediately warn Xiao Hezi to take care of his little sister who is running around all day!

Nangong Yue's cheeks were brightly red, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but burst into laughter, then buried her head on his shoulder, and her laughter gradually started.

Seeing that she was smiling happily, Xiao Yi was no longer upset and patted her back gently, fearing that she would stop laughing.

After a while, Nangong Yue pushed him away and glared at him with feigned annoyance. The flowing eyes made Xiao Yi's heart flutter, as if there was a feather gently tickling the tip of his heart. With.

Until Nangong Yue called Lily in to pull up her hair, he was still looking at her happily, reluctant to move his eyes away.

Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan went to greet the queen together. When they came back, the night was already very late. The night in Yinglan Palace was much cooler than that in the capital. After dinner, Nangong Yue opened the window and let The cool breeze blew into the house, and she sat by the window and played the piano to Xiao Yi. The corners of her lips were curled up, and she was in a good mood.

At the same time, far away in the Royal Capital, Lianxi Nunnery was also quiet and peaceful at this night, with the moonlight filling the courtyard outside the window.

Bai Muxiao was wearing a white dress, and her long black hair was only tied with a white ribbon. She had just bathed and changed under Bihen's service, and she was still carrying a slight moisture on her body.

"Girl, you've been kneeling all day, why don't you take a rest early?" Bihen said softly.

Originally, the third prince's concubine specially asked the queen for a decree so that Bai Muxiao could accompany her to Yinglan Palace. However, Bai Muxiao was not willing to accept the love of the three imperial concubines. In addition, today the Bai Mansion was going to make a life sacrifice for the deceased Mr. Bai in the nunnery. As his daughter, Bai Muxiao naturally could not leave, so it was decided that Wait a few days before going.

On this day, Bai Muxiao worked really hard and knelt for almost the whole day.

She couldn't hide the tiredness in her brows. She rubbed her brows, glanced out the window, and said, "It's getting late, it's time to rest."

Bai Muxiao stood up and walked to the couch. After lying down, she closed her eyes.

Bihen blew out the candle. She was about to exit the inner room, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance, which seemed not to be there, and then she felt dizzy. Come up. Her body swayed, she lost consciousness instantly, and fell softly to the ground.

The house fell into an eerie silence. Not long after, a black figure pushed open the window from the outside, then jumped into the house with a ghostly look, and walked softly to Bai Mu. In front of Xiao's bed...
