Poor children

Chapter 20 Wujin Grass Poison
一
The play started again and everyone sat down to watch the play and chat and laugh.
The old lady also chatted and laughed with the ladies around her, but Jiang felt aggrieved, but had to stay with her smiling face.
"Now that the golden elixir is here, Fourth Sister-in-law, why don't you hurry up and eat it and let us take a look?" the seventh princess said

"This is really a rare fate, let us have a better experience today," Mrs. Kan said, "I heard people say that the elixir made by this old god is so good that even the emperor didn't give face to the old god when he asked him to, but here he is today." Seeing two of them, Amitabha... is truly a blessing."

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The old lady waved to Jinfeng, and Jinfeng immediately took the golden elixir box over.
The old lady took out a golden elixir and drank it, and drank half a cup of tea. Before she could share the taste with others, she suddenly felt a salty taste in her throat, a surge of air inside her, and her vision went dark. In an instant, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

The seventh princess fainted after hearing a scream. At this time, the courtyard was in chaos. Several ladies were so frightened that their legs went weak and they fainted from crying. The princes and nobles over there also gathered around.
"Hurry and ask Dr. Gongsun," the prince said. A young boy heard this and hurried over.
"It was fine just now, why did it suddenly happen?" The prince held the old lady in his arms and called "Mother" loudly

"Go back to your lord, the old lady just took one golden elixir." Jin Feng was so anxious that she knelt down beside her and kept crying.
The prince thought in his heart, this golden elixir was given by the old immortal, and the old immortal could never harm my mother. The golden elixir has always been kept by Jinfeng. This girl has served her for many years and is especially loyal. The only person who has ever touched the golden elixir is the Jiang family. Got it
"Come on! Look at her." The prince pointed at Mrs. Jiang

At this time, Mrs. Jiang was completely stunned. She had never seen such a scene before, but she felt vaguely ominous in her heart. When she saw that the prince had sent someone to take her, she knew that what happened today was more serious than bad.

"This matter really has nothing to do with me, why do you want to take advantage of me?" Jiang said
"We will find out after we investigate whether it is relevant or not," the prince said angrily.
"I am innocent. If you don't believe it, I...I..." Ms. Jiang was looking around as she spoke. When she turned around, she found another golden elixir in the brocade box on the table. She immediately rushed forward to grab it. He started to eat the golden elixir, but Mr. An who rushed over snatched it away.

"What are you doing?" Mr. An said
At this time, Mrs. Jiang fainted due to being too excited...

The prince dismissed the visitors, and several people who fainted were sent to the room to rest.
At this time, Dr. Gongsun, the imperial doctor, had hurried over. After taking the old lady's pulse, he asked for the golden elixir to take a closer look.
"Excuse me! Imperial Physician Gongsun, is the old lady in serious trouble?" Mrs. Wang was very anxious. Seeing that the imperial physician had not spoken a word, she hurriedly asked
The prince was also anxious and restless. The second lady sat aside and wiped her tears. The third lady was also very anxious when she saw it.

"The old lady was poisoned by Wujincao. I checked the golden pill carefully, and I saw several small holes on it. I cut it open and looked closely. The black juice left in the holes should be Wujincao juice," said the doctor Gongsun.
"Is there any cure for this poison?" the prince asked.

"Wujincao grows on the cliffs of deep mountains in Turks and is very difficult to harvest. If a person is poisoned by this poison and does not have an antidote within three days, his internal organs will turn into blood and water and die." Dr. Gongsun said, "Only one person in the Central Plains can cure this poison."

"who?"

"I wonder if the old god King Qingfengguan is in the house?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Wang said, "I'm still setting up an altar in the backyard to practice..."

"Hurry up and invite me!" The prince arrived
After a while, the old immortal came into the room. Dr. Gongsun rushed up to greet him and explained the matter of Wujincao in detail. The old immortal was busy with the old lady and came to check, and ordered someone to bring the silver needle.

I saw the old fairy administering a lot of silver needles and then ordered someone to pour white vinegar into the old lady's mouth. As soon as she finished drinking it, the old lady immediately spat out a large pool of black blood with a "wow" sound.

"Most of the poison has been vomited out for the time being. Go quickly and order someone to prepare a big bucket, boil water with mugwort, and ask the old lady to take a medicinal bath. If you take a medicinal bath for two hours a day, you should be fine after soaking for half a month." The old god said again I want to see the golden elixir

"Do you know who poisoned it?"

"It's Mrs. An, Mrs. Jiang," the third lady said.
The old fairy twisted his beard and looked at her, "This poison is not easy to obtain. Does Mrs. Jiang have anything to do with the Turks?"

At this time, Ms. Jiang had slowly woken up and was being helped by Mr. An. She knelt down when she saw the prince, "I would like to ask the prince to find out clearly. I have no enmity with the old lady. Why should I harm her? I have been timid since I was a child. Let alone murder, I have never killed a mosquito," Jiang cried.

"Does Madam have any relatives in Turks?" the old god asked

"Turks?" Mrs. Jiang wiped her tears. "My ancestors have been from the Central Plains for several generations. Let alone Turkic relatives, they have never been there."

"Hongshun..." the old god said, "Wujin grass is very difficult to obtain. A hundred or ten people will die if you pick this grass, which is not a lot. Therefore, it is very precious and cannot be obtained by ordinary people."

"Yes!" The prince responded, "Go and find out who owns this grass in the Central Plains, and who in the Turks has it?"

"Mrs. An, what happened today was outrageous and I wronged you..."

Before the prince could finish speaking, Mrs. Jiang fainted again. Dr. Gongsun raised his hand to check his pulse and said, "Congratulations, Mr. An! Madam, you are happy..."

Master An was very happy when he heard that. He kept thanking the imperial doctor, said goodbye to the prince, and took his wife home to rest.

The prince spent half of his life in the army, either in the killing field or in the officialdom. He knew that this matter was definitely not something that a person like Jiang could do. He was just a little anxious when the incident happened, and it became clear after the old god gave some advice. Second, the purpose of the poisoner is still unknown. He just set up this trap to make Jiang the person who blocked the arrow.
Two hours later, the old lady came back from the medicated bath and was helped to lie down on the kang. At this time, her face had turned red and she could open her eyes and speak.

Several people in the house saw that the old lady was getting better and it was getting late, so they left and went back to rest.

In the west courtyard of the palace, cups, plates, and bowls were broken all over the floor again in the third lady’s room. I didn’t expect that her plans for the past few days would be over like this. I wonder why the godmother gave her such poison, why didn’t she get some ordinary ones?

This afternoon, while everyone was at the banquet, the third lady ordered Yun'er to secretly put laxatives in the tea of ​​the old lady who was attending the hospital in the east courtyard.
In the evening, they found an ugly girl to lure Mrs. Jiang to the old lady's room. However, before Jiang went there, Yun'er had stolen the golden elixir and drugged it while the old lady was going to the latrine. She also took advantage of the chaos when Jiang was sitting down. Put the brocade box containing the golden elixir into the suitcase

The third lady originally thought that as long as the old lady was poisoned, the Jiang family would definitely die, but unexpectedly, the poison was bad, and she never expected that the Jiang family was pregnant. At this time, the third lady was even more angry. Angry and angry...

"Yun'er! Where is the girl who led Jiang to the east courtyard?" The third lady knew in her heart that this person must not be kept. She is in chaos right now. When the prince finds out in the future, he will have to find her.

"I gave her some money. She is naturally happy. It's too late to rest now," Yun'er replied.

"Go get a pen and paper, and I'll write a letter. Tomorrow you send her to Baiyun Temple to deliver a letter to the abbot Shitai..."
