In the outer hall, Li Ru'an took a sip of tea and looked at the two imperial doctors, "My lords, the Empress Dowager suddenly has this symptom today, what do you think?"

Guo Tang, who was about the same age as Gao Yi, stepped forward with his hands behind his back, with a hint of pride in his expression, "I believe that the empress dowager was dizzy and tired due to the cold wind and cold evil invasion in the imperial garden in the afternoon. Soothe the nerves soup, rest more."

Li Ru'an didn't answer, but looked at another old imperial doctor who was thinking deeply, "Where's Mr. Sun?"

"Princess Huan, the empress dowager's pulse condition is weak, dizzy, nausea, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and diarrhea, and the onset is sudden. I think it seems that I have inhaled or eaten something inappropriate."

Sun Wentian looked frank, and said in detail, Guo Tang beside him frowned.

"What does Imperial Doctor Sun say? The imperial dining room, which is the entrance of the empress dowager, is especially important. It has to go through several inspections. The only ones who test the poison are the head of the imperial dining room, the father-in-law of Chuancai, and the personal palace servants. Improper things?"

Sun Wentian still looked unhurried and as steady as Mount Tai, "Doctor Guo, the old man is only diagnosing the disease according to the pulse and reporting it truthfully. Besides, it is almost April and the temperature is getting warmer. The empress dowager is going out for a walk after lunch. The sun was shining brightly, and the cold evil from Imperial Physician Guo invaded, which was not pathological."

"You!" Guo Tang panicked, his face flushed red.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat delicate. Li Ru'an put down his teacup slowly, remembering that Qu Qiubai said that Sun Wentian's medical skills are quite superb, but because of his straightforward temper and straightforward speech, he has offended many masters and colleagues, so he is only sixty now. An imperial physician, not even an imperial physician.

Doctors in Daqing have distinct ranks, the highest is the great doctor, and there are only two places. Now there is only one great doctor, Gao Kuang. After two generations of kings, he is favored by everyone. Six, and then there are eighteen imperial doctors, and the rest have no official rank. Even if you are 80 years old, they are collectively called imperial doctors, but the monthly salary is also very considerable.

"I will consider the diagnosis of the two adults one by one. It is getting late, the two adults should leave the palace first."

Guo Tang was furious, saluted slightly and flung his sleeves away. Sun Wentian cupped his hands and saluted, leaving with a calm and calm pace.

"Princess, you can eat first."

Grandma Zheng directed the palace staff to put the meal on the garden table, Li Ru'an pondered for a moment, "Mommy, send someone to the palace to say that the queen mother is fine, so that the prince won't worry about it."

"Yes."

Li Ru'an sat down, ate the meal silently and elegantly, her eyes were deep in thought, she always felt that this matter was a bit strange.

It stands to reason that the queen mother is getting old, whether it is the cold that Guo Tang said, or the wrong food that Sun Wentian said, it can cause these symptoms.

But the strange thing is that the Queen Mother has walked a few steps to the Imperial Garden almost every day since her legs and feet became looser. , Change the soup without changing the medicine, just change the cooking method, why has it been fine before?Did it happen suddenly today?The symptoms were not too serious, but the people in Yongfu Palace were in a hurry, and the whole thing seemed to be unreasonable, and they couldn't explain it.

In the mansion, Xiao Huan heaved a sigh of relief when he got the news. He sat at the dining table and saw a plate of jasper cake on it.

"The queen mother sent someone to deliver cakes today?"

Zhou Cang next to him stepped forward, "Yes, it was delivered in the evening. The queen mother is still thinking about the prince when she is ill."

He picked up the pastry and took a bite, it was sweet and refreshing, Xiao Huan felt a little helpless, his mother always treated him as a child, and brought some snacks over from time to time, lest he would be hungry.

On weekdays at home, the husband and wife would fight on a chess board, make calligraphy gestures, and sometimes go fishing by the lake. There were endless topics to talk about, such as romance, marching formations, and even gossip about Beijing. Get used to the peace in the house.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Huan felt a little hot on his body, so he said something to Xue Gu outside, and walked into the clean room.

Xuegu responded, went in with a change of clothes and arranged them, and left the courtyard to wait with Zilan, feeling very comforted in her heart, the prince kept himself clean and never liked maidservants to serve him close to him. There is not even a young maid in the mansion, and she likes to be clean like her sister. The mansion is full of elderly people, there is no noise, and it is quiet at all times. It is really comfortable to live this day.

After Xiao Huan washed and returned to the bedroom, Xuegu and the others tidied up the clean room and exited the yard. They only arranged two women outside the yard to stay on duty at night, and they each went back to the side room at the back.

There was silence everywhere, Xiao Huan leaned on the edge of the bed and read a book for a while, the inexplicable hotness just now did not subside, but the feeling deepened. wrong.

Standing up and sitting cross-legged in meditation, he lifted his breath and concentrated his mind. Xiao Huan closed his eyes and slowly maintained a regular breathing.

Late night
The part of the backyard is the residence of the servant girl. Mother Zhao stood respectfully, listening to the woman in front of her gently whispering her orders, nodded repeatedly, went out and quietly walked to the side courtyard where You Jing was.

You Jing waited for more than two hours, lying on the crack of the door and looking out, hungry and anxious, finally saw Mother Zhao approaching sneakily, she hurriedly opened the door with an angry expression on her face.

"Why so late!"

Mother Zhao hissed, went in and closed the door, "Miss, Xue Guxian and the others are really watching closely, the servants are afraid of revealing their secrets, so they dare not come out until they all go back to rest."

You Jing took a deep breath to suppress her anger, "Has the prince returned to the yard? Can he have that jasper cake for dinner?"

"That's fine, I went to the kitchen to check, and there was only a little left. Just now, I saw that the light in the room was off, and the prince must have fallen asleep. After the servants distracted the lady who is watching the courtyard, the young lady will go in quickly. Don't waste time."

"Okay, if I become the prince's side concubine in the future, I will definitely lose your benefits." You Jing's anger dissipated, she excitedly caressed the light gauze dress on her body, pressed her simple bun again, and asked repeatedly, " Is my bun too simple, or can you help me comb it nicely?"

"Miss is naturally beautiful, she looks good no matter what, now I have to go in quickly." Mother Zhao said with a sneer flashing in her eyes.

You Jing thought that the effect of the medicine would only last for half a day, so she put away her desire to procrastinate, nodded her head quickly, followed her out, and carefully approached the main courtyard along the corridor.

The two women watching the courtyard gathered together and talked in a low voice. Seeing that Mama Zhao, who was walking in front of her, suddenly wobbled and fell, she hurried up to help her up.

"What happened to Mother Zhao?"

Zhao's mother softened her body, grabbed the hands of the two, frowned and said, "Oh, I suddenly feel dizzy for some reason, two sisters help me."

"Oh, it's like this when you're old, let's help mother go back." The two women struggled to help up the round mother Zhao, not paying attention to the two figures behind them, one after the other, entered the yard.

You Jing gently pushed open the door, only a glowing butter lamp was lit outside, she walked quietly to the inside, and saw a dim light shining through the exquisitely carved screen, it was extremely quiet, she pressed her excited and ecstatic heart, deeply Take a breath and lift your feet, and suddenly smell a strong fragrance!
Behind him, a man in a black cloak and hat stretched out his white hands to catch You Jing who was lying on his back, dragged her to the potted plant next to him, got up and straightened his clothes, moved lightly with lotus steps, walked around the screen and entered the inner room .
