Chapter 26 Your Majesty is Poisoned
  At the Peking Palace, Wei Shao was a little surprised when he heard the news.

"The two sisters have never been on good terms, so why are they suddenly so close?"

"My maid doesn't know. It's just that the princess cried very sadly. I guess she couldn't bear it, so she stayed."

Wei Shao couldn't say anything more, but he just told Yunrou to be more careful in the palace and to ask his mother and concubine for help if anything happened.

The next day, Wei Shao woke up early to practice boxing, but he was obviously absent-minded and returned to his room not long after practicing.

In just one day, it felt like three autumns had passed. The dining table was much deserted during the meal, and the grandfather and grandson were eating by themselves.

On the third day, Wei Shao opened his eyes just after Yinshi. He looked at the empty bed and felt empty in his heart.

He stood up, held the lamp, and carefully selected clothes in the wardrobe. They were all black and seemed to have no difference. He walked to the big bronze mirror and tidied his clothes in front of it.

After a lot of fussing, the sky turned slightly gray, and it was still early.

When Bai Zheng brought in the face wash, he saw the prince already sitting upright by the bed.

"My lord, why have you changed your clothes? After washing your face, you have to practice sword practice. These clothes are inconvenient."

"I won't be practicing this morning. I have to go to the palace. You should go to the palace now to send me a greeting card."

"Yes."

Outside the palace gate, Wei Shao paced back and forth, waiting for news from the palace with Bai Zheng.

Before he could respond, he saw Wu Xun running towards him from a distance.

"King of Peiping, follow me into the palace quickly."

"Investor, why are you so panicked?"

"Your Majesty stayed at Mrs. Deng's house last night. After waking up this morning, not long after breakfast, his limbs suddenly became cold and his face turned pale. He has already passed out. The imperial doctor is checking the pulse. Please come with me to have a look."

"Where is my mother-in-law? How is she?"

"Mrs. Deng also fainted."

Hearing this, Wei Shao increased his speed.

In the Yueyang Palace, all the concubines, princes and princesses from the harem were all present, guarding outside the dormitory of the Yueyang Palace.

When Wei Shao arrived, he saw people standing outside the dormitory hall, and he hurried forward to salute.

"Queen, how is your father?"

Ban Miao replied: "The imperial doctor is diagnosing His Majesty's pulse. King Peiping, please wait here with us."

"Yes."

Wei Xiao quietly came to Wei Shao while no one was paying attention.

"Brother Imperial, Mrs. Deng is in the side hall, and the Imperial Sister-in-law is with her. Please go and have a look."

"what?"

Wei Shao heard this and rushed to the side hall.

Pei Ying stayed by Deng Shou's bed, and an imperial doctor was checking on him.

"How is the mother-in-law?"

"The situation is very bad."

"What did the doctor say?"

"The cause of the poisoning has not yet been found."

Deng Shou was pale, her limbs were cold, and she was unconscious. The imperial doctor kept checking her pulse, but could not find the cause of the poisoning.

The two of them were anxious, but they could only worry.

"King Peiping, I need to go to the main palace to discuss with my colleagues. I also ask that you and the princess please be patient."

"Okay, if you come to a conclusion, please ask the imperial doctor to come back quickly and treat your mother and concubine."

After the imperial doctor left, there were only a few people left in the hall. Dannu knelt beside the bed and cried very uncomfortably.

Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Pei Ying said in front of Wei Shao: "Wei Shao, it's okay to wait like this. Why don't you let me try."

"Can you detoxify?"

"I don't know how, but I know that procrastinating like this will definitely not work. The longer the time goes by, the deeper the poisonous gas becomes, and the mother-in-law will only become more and more dangerous."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Nv Dan, go to the imperial kitchen and find honey. The more the better, and water. Yun Rou and Bai Zheng, you go boil the water and be quick."

"Yes." "Wei Shao, help my concubine up."

Deng Shou leaned on Wei Shao. Pei Ying stretched out her left hand and pinched Deng Shou's mouth open. The index and middle fingers of her right hand came together and inserted into Deng Shou's mouth. Her fingers reached the front of her throat and pushed her tongue Press down.

Severe nausea spread throughout Deng Shou's body, and she vomited it out with a "wow" sound. Pei Ying hurriedly avoided it, but her clothes were still stained.

She suppressed her nausea, walked up to Deng Shou again, and repeated the actions just now. Deng Shou vomited out again. This happened several times in a row, and his and Wei Shao's clothes were already covered with filth.

After vomiting, Deng Shou's face gradually turned red.

At the same time, Dannu and the other three also brought back honey and water, and Dannu fed her slowly one spoonful at a time.

"Yunrou, make another bowl."

"Princess, this is already the third bowl."

"It's okay, keep drinking, just to let the poison be discharged from the mother's body little by little."

Pei Ying endured her nausea again and helped Deng Shou induce vomiting several times before the imperial doctor rushed back.

"Your Majesty, the results have been found. It's Aconitum. The Royal Hospital has already prepared the medicine."

"Thank you."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that their clothes were full of filth, Dannu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, you go to the bathroom to bathe and change clothes. Madam is fine. We can take care of her here."

"it is good."

Wei Shao and Pei Ying walked to the bathroom, but he stood outside the door and did not go in.

"You take a shower first, and I'll guard the door."

"Thank you."

Not long after, the sound of water splashing came from the room. Wei Shao looked at the lush roses in front of the court, and his thoughts took him back to the New Year's Eve night in Guangyang Palace.

"My lord, why didn't you go in?"

Dannu brought two pairs of clean clothes and was a little surprised to see Wei Shao standing at the door.

"My body is too dirty, let the princess wash it first."

"These are clean clothes. I will send them to the princess."

"give it to me."

"Yes."

Wei Shao stood outside the door holding his clothes and heard the sound of water in the house gradually disappearing.

"Pei Ying, Dannu has brought clean clothes. I'll leave them at the door for you. Come and get them yourself."

"Okay, thank you."

Wei Shao pushed the door open a crack, put the clothes in, and closed the door gently.

Not long after, Pei Ying changed her clothes, wiped her hair and walked out.

"You go and wash it."

Wei Shao looked a little distracted when he saw that her black hair was still dripping with water.

In the bathroom, the aroma after bathing still lingers.

Pei Ying sat next to the big bronze mirror, and the maids in the palace were dressing her up. She looked at herself in the mirror, and she looked completely different from before.

The turquoise blue robe with a curved train and a goose-yellow dark-patterned ribbon tied around her waist. The clear color made her skin fairer. The skills of the palace servants in dressing up were beyond Yun Rou's reach.

Looking at herself in the big bronze mirror, she couldn't believe it. Is this still the same person?

After Deng Shou woke up, he pushed himself to the main hall and sat on the bedside waiting for Wei Yuan to wake up. Wei Shao stood beside his mother and concubine to accompany him.

When Pei Ying walked into the main hall, everyone's eyes couldn't help but stay on her. Wei Shao also noticed it. Following everyone's gaze, he saw that the gentle and charming woman in front of him was Pei Ying.

It was the first time for Wei Shao to see Pei Ying dressed up so carefully, and he was smitten at first sight.

Pei Ying was a little embarrassed, but she still remained dignified.

Walked to Wei Shao and stood side by side with him.

　On the first day of work in 24 years, everyone should work hard. Please read the book, princess and prince!
