Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 286 The Emperor is Poisoned
In the palace, Concubine Song came to the imperial study with ginseng soup, and the little father-in-law outside the door saw her smiling and greeted her.

"My concubine, why are you here?"

"I know that the emperor is busy with government affairs recently, so I specially boiled ginseng soup and brought it here." Concubine Song said, walking inside.

Seeing the person coming in, Manager Li bowed and said, "I've seen the imperial concubine."

Concubine Song didn't have a chance for him at all, she came directly to the emperor and put down the ginseng soup, and was about to give the emperor a shoulder squeeze, when the emperor suddenly put down the memorial in his hand.

Concubine Song raised her slender jade fingers, pinched them lightly, a stern look flashed across her eyes, the emperor was indeed on guard against her.

The emperor pressed her hand and patted it, "I have neglected you these few days."

"The concubine knows that the emperor is busy with government affairs, so she doesn't dare to disturb him, and she is worried about the emperor's health, so she specially boiled ginseng soup to nourish the emperor." Song Guifei said, and handed over a bowl of ginseng soup.

The emperor did not extend his hand, but glanced at her and said: "Put it down, I will drink later."

"Your Majesty, it's not good if the ginseng soup is cold. You will leave after drinking the ginseng soup, and you will not disturb the emperor's handling of government affairs." Song Guifei said with a virtuous face.

The emperor hesitated again and again, but continued to drink the ginseng soup in her hand.

Seeing the person who drank, Song Guifei showed a meaningful smile on her face.

"Okay, you go back and rest first." The emperor put down the soup bowl in his hand, and picked up the memorial again.

"The concubine resigns." Song Guifei turned and left.

That night, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill, and the whole palace was in a mess.

All the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital gathered in the emperor's palace, and the empress dowager, who had been eating fast and chanting blessings, came here to preside over the overall situation.

"The emperor's situation is very critical. If we can't find a way to detoxify tonight, I'm afraid the emperor won't survive tonight. Now we can only do our best to treat it well!" Liu Yuanping knelt on the ground and said anxiously.

Several other imperial doctors also had the same expression, and everyone's face was full of sorrow.

All the imperial doctors look at me and I look at you, there is nothing they can do, because the emperor's symptoms have exceeded their expectations, and there is no way to start.

Time ticked by, and the room fell into dead silence.

Finally, the queen mother who was standing in front of the bed and turning the beads in her hands slowly said, "No matter what you do, you must heal the emperor, otherwise, you will go to the funeral together!"

"I believe that this poison is rare in a hundred years, and we must find an antidote to break it. Otherwise, even if we find the most precious medicinal material in the world, it will be useless unless we can find the antidote." Liu Yuanjue said. .

Hearing this, everyone agreed.

"But, where can we find such a precious thing? Where are we going to find it?" The imperial doctor at the side asked sweating profusely in fear.

After contemplating for a while, the queen mother called Mr. Li: "Immediately pass down an order that all doctors in the world, no matter ordinary doctors, genius doctors, eminent monks, or hermits, will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels of gold if they can develop a good prescription that can cure the emperor. If you can save my emperor, I will make him a national teacher."

When Mr. Li heard the emperor's words, he immediately took orders.

"My lord, may I ask you a question, do you know what kind of poison the emperor has been poisoned by?" Li Yuyi asked beside him.

"I have searched all kinds of strange people and strange things, and found that no one can solve it. Moreover, it is said that this poison can kill a person in just three days. Therefore, the emperor is seriously injured now, and if he is a little negligent, he will be doomed The realm." Liu Yuan judge sighed.

An ominous premonition vaguely rose in his heart, how could such a poison appear in the palace?Who is the poisoner?
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks of someone." Another imperial doctor suddenly stood up and said.

"Oh, who is it? Tell me quickly."

"This man's name is Shen Yichen. He is extremely skilled in medicine. He is known as 'Skillful Hands and Kindness'. He is especially good at poisoning. I believe he will have a way to detoxify this poison." The imperial doctor said.

"Shen Yichen?"

"Shen Yichen is a man of the rivers and lakes. He traveled all over the world in his early years, and he was obsessed with medicine all his life. He never accepted apprentices, so not many people knew of his existence. He has always lived in nowhere."

The queen mother nodded, and gave another order to ask people to look for Shen Yichen, as long as they provide clues, they will give a hundred taels of gold.

This incident caused an uproar in the court, but no one dared to discuss it. After all, the emperor's life was the most important thing, and other things were trivial.

Outside the emperor's bedroom, Song Guifei came to visit the emperor, but was stopped by Li Gonggong, "Your concubine, please stay, the queen mother ordered that no one is allowed to enter."

"What? Can't even my palace go in? I want to go in to take care of the emperor." Concubine Song's tone was chilly, she didn't expect that the queen mother would come out of the temple.

"Don't blame the imperial concubine, the empress dowager has a decree that no one is allowed to enter the emperor's bedroom today." Eunuch Li still stopped him, refusing to let Song Guifei in.

Concubine Song glared at Eunuch Li fiercely, she lifted her skirt and was about to rush inside, she had to see the emperor with her own eyes.

Suddenly, two guards stood in front of Concubine Song, and Concubine Song said angrily: "Go away, or don't blame me for being rude!"

"Sorry, empress dowager, the empress dowager ordered that no one is allowed to enter." The guard said coldly, they were guarding by the empress dowager's order, absolutely not allowing anyone to approach, including any princes and harem concubines.

"you……"

Concubine Song wanted to say something, but Eunuch Li came over to dissuade her and said, "Your concubine, the empress dowager is doing this for the emperor's benefit. Now that the person who poisoned him has not been caught, the empress dowager must be more cautious. Don't embarrass us any more." These slaves!"

Hearing this, Concubine Song only felt that it was extremely ironic, the queen mother clearly refused to let her in on purpose.

"Is the queen mother suspecting that the palace has poisoned the emperor?" Concubine Song asked with a contemptuous smile.

"This……"

There was a sound of "creak", the door of the palace opened, and a woman came out, it was the red-sleeved aunt beside the queen mother.

"Join the imperial concubine." She respectfully blessed her with a calm and calm expression.

Looking at the expressionless person, Concubine Song only felt that her chest was tight. She hated this feeling very much, and was always looked down upon by others.

"I want to go in to see the emperor, so I ask my aunt to inform the queen mother." Concubine Song pretended to be sad, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes.

Hong Xiu said with a straight face: "The Empress Dowager asked the servants to tell the empress that if you insist on going in now, you may be arrested and interrogated as a murderer. You can decide whether you can go in or not."

After finishing speaking, Hongxiu moved away.

Concubine Song raised her foot slightly and then retracted it. After thinking for a moment, she asked concerned: "Dare to ask Auntie, how is the Emperor doing now?"

"I don't know." Hongxiu replied with her head down.

Concubine Song stretched her neck and looked inside, smelling the strong smell of medicinal materials and the voice of the imperial doctor inside, she turned and left.

Seeing the people leaving, Hongxiu turned around and entered the hall, closing the door again.
