Chapter 65 Accidental Eating
Su Lingyue lost her appetite and asked someone to remove the meal. However, after about two-quarters of an hour, she frowned and felt that her chest was tight and short of breath, and her face gradually turned pale. "Pass... to the imperial doctor, hurry up..."

When Dong'er and Xue'er saw Su Lingyue's uncomfortable and pale look, their hearts tightened and they said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Call the imperial doctor quickly!"

The maids in the palace instantly panicked. Su Lingyue had been accumulating power for a long time, so they didn't realize that she was no longer a noble concubine. Moreover, the lingering power caused by Qiaoer's last words was still there, so it was impossible for Su Lingyue to do anything excessive. .

Dong'er and the others led the palace servants to lift Su Lingyue to the bed, waiting anxiously for the arrival of the imperial doctor.

Dong'er suddenly turned around and ordered a young eunuch: "You, go and tell His Majesty that someone is plotting to kill your... Concubine Yue."

The little eunuch responded and turned around and trotted out.

Fortunately, the imperial doctor arrived quickly. The person Su Yan arranged for was Qin Kangping, the imperial physician. He was nearly fifty years old, had a very good medical record, and was also the head of the Imperial Hospital.

He put the handkerchief on Su Lingyue's wrist and began to diagnose the pulse. As time passed, his face became a little more serious, and then he quickly took out the silver needle to control Su Lingyue's condition.

Dong'er and Xue'er saw Imperial Doctor Qin's expression and couldn't help but want to ask, but they were afraid of disturbing Imperial Doctor Qin, so they could only worry secretly.

Doctor Qin took back his hand and asked, "What did you eat today?"

"My wife has a poor appetite today. She only ate some dishes made from boiled cabbage hearts, meatballs and fish balls," Dong'er said.

"Is there any left?"

"Yes, slave girl, bring it here." Xue'er continued.

Soon, Xue'er and the little palace maid brought the remaining dishes and put them on the table. The meals must not only have the two or three things Dong'er said, otherwise they would be too shabby. Concubines Xian and Concubine Shu would not be stupid enough to give them in vain. People bring up the topic.

Doctor Qin mainly looked at the few dishes Su Lingyue used that Xue'er pointed at. He only took a rough look at the others, which were all made with very common ingredients. "Does the empress have any taboos about food?" Doctor Qin raised his head and asked.

Dong'er came to serve Su Linyue earlier than Xue'er. She still remembered that when she was a child, she saw with her own eyes that Su Lingyue almost suffocated to death after eating ginger. Her appearance at that time was very similar to her now, and she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't eat ginger. When I was four or five years old, my empress almost had an accident because she accidentally ate ginger."

After hearing this, Doctor Qin took a closer look at the food on the table, tasted it, and found that the fish balls were mixed with ginger. "There is ginger in these fish balls. The queen must have felt uncomfortable because of the fish balls. Fortunately, she didn't eat much. I'll prescribe two more medicines and she'll be fine."

Dong'er and Xue'er looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief, "Please, Doctor Qin, please prescribe the medicine as soon as possible."

While Qin's imperial doctor was prescribing medicine, the emperor came. Eunuch Zhang sang and everyone stood up and saluted to greet him.

"Ping Sheng, what happened?"

Dong'er and Xue'er cooperated tacitly and directly said that Su Lingyue was deliberately murdered, "...Your Majesty, the empress has never eaten food with ginger before, but now the imperial dining room adds ginger to the meal. It is obvious that someone is plotting to murder the empress." , please ask Your Majesty to investigate clearly and seek justice for the empress."

The emperor did not say anything about his promise immediately. He just asked Qin Kangping, "How is Yue Concubine?"

Qin Kangping: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty is fine at the moment, but the situation is really dangerous. If your Majesty takes more, and if I don't arrive in time, your Majesty may..."

Although the words were not finished, the emperor also understood what he meant. The emperor said angrily: "Zhang Dequan, send someone to investigate. In addition, in order to avoid this happening again in the future, we will build a small kitchen in Haitang Palace to provide concubines with meals in the future." No need to go through the imperial kitchen anymore."

Eunuch Zhang: "Yes, Your Majesty." He bowed and left, asking people to investigate whether he did it intentionally.
