The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 240 The Tea is Poisonous
Wen Xianqing was also sweating profusely, obviously having rushed here in a hurry.

He took the wet wipes from the hand of the palace maid next to him and wiped the sweat from his palms before quickly taking Princess Kangle's pulse.

Yinzhen sat on a chair nearby, tapping the armrest with his left index finger.

Su Peisheng knew that the emperor would make this move when he was anxious or had something on his mind.

Wen Xianqing took Princess Kangle's pulse for a long time, then looked at Princess Kangle's tongue coating before replying with concern.

"Your Majesty, I have felt the princess' pulse and found that she has a spleen and stomach disorder at such a young age.

But the princess has not been under your care for a long time. Judging from her pulse, she has been suffering from this disease for some time.

It was just that it suddenly broke out today, causing the princess to vomit continuously."

Yinzhen's expression changed instantly.

"What is the cause? Can Doctor Wen diagnose it?"

Wen Xianqing pondered for a moment and said.

"Can you please let me see what the princess has eaten recently?"

Su Peisheng hurriedly ordered the imperial kitchen to bring the food that would be prepared for the princess in the near future.

Wen Xianqing looked at them one by one. Unlike babies who only drank breast milk, three-year-old children could already eat a lot of light food.

Wen Xianqing carefully checked the food he had eaten in the past, but found nothing unexpected.

It is impossible for the imperial kitchen to make such a mistake as food incompatibility.

Wen Xianqing pondered for a moment, but still couldn't figure it out.

Nian Shilan suddenly said.

"Doctor Wen, in addition to eating these things during the day, I heard that the princess also drinks milk when she is hungry at night.

There is no problem with the child's diet. How about asking Doctor Wen to check the pulse of the two wet nurses who are taking care of the princess? "

Ulanara looked at Nian Shilan and said.

"Hua Fei, you are worrying too much. If there is something wrong with the wet nurse's milk, why doesn't she have these symptoms?"

Nian Shilan smiled.

"The Queen, like me, has never personally fed the young child.

Of course, we don’t know that some diseases can also be transmitted to young children through breast milk.

But the adults are much healthier than the children.
The disease that is almost fatal to the young child is not obvious in the adult. "

Yu Changzai suddenly became curious.

"I have never even heard of what Concubine Hua said.

Concubine Hua also said that you, like the Empress, had never personally fed the young child.
How do you know all this, Madam?"

Nian Shilan ignored Yu Changzai's words, but said to Yinzhen Fuli.

"Your Majesty, please be wise. You only need to ask Imperial Doctor Wen to find out whether what I said is true or not.

Now, it would be appropriate to ask Imperial Doctor Wen to check the nurse's pulse."

Nian Shilan naturally would not say it. The reason she knew all this was because in her previous life she gave her tranquilizer to the wet nurse to drink, and the wet nurse turned the tranquilizer into breast milk and fed it to Princess Wen Yi.

Only when Nian Shilan had her own child in this life did she realize how much harm such an action could do to a little baby.

Today, when Nian Shilan saw that there was no problem with Princess Kangle's diet, she immediately thought that someone might have tampered with the wet nurse's diet.

Yinzhen said.

"What Concubine Hua said is absolutely right. Doctor Wen, please take the nurse's pulse first."

The two wet nurses knelt tremblingly and took a few steps forward. They stretched out their arms and exposed their wrists to make it easier for Wen Xianqing to feel their pulse.

Wen Xianqing first took the pulse of one of the wet nurses, nodded slightly, and said.

"This wet nurse is in good health, but she must have been feeling unwell these past few days, so I guess she hasn't breastfed the princess."

The wet nurse opened her eyes wide, very surprised. "Doctor Wen, take the pulse, it is true. I have my period these days, so it is not appropriate for me to breastfeed the princess."

Wen Xianqing nodded and turned to take the pulse of another wet nurse.

As soon as Wen Xianqing placed his hand on the wet nurse's wrist, he felt her pulse was heavy and sluggish. He looked at Doctor Qiu suspiciously.

Normally, as Imperial Doctor Qiu was in charge of Xianfu Palace, he should have checked the wet nurse's pulse regularly. How come he couldn't diagnose such a pulse condition?

Judging from her pulse, the nurse had been experiencing symptoms for some time, but they were suppressed and had not broken out.

Yinzhen noticed Wen Xianqing's gaze. He followed Wen Xianqing's gaze and saw Imperial Doctor Qiu looking panicked.

"Doctor Wen, you can talk as you please."

Yinzhen said.

Wen Xianqing looked around and saw that on the days of family banquets in the palace, almost all the concubines were there. It was a pity that the princess suffered so much, and no one knew who was responsible.

"Reporting to the Emperor, I have taken the pulse of this wet nurse and found that she has had spleen and stomach problems for a long time, so her milk is not of the best quality.

According to my experience, if the wet nurse herself is unwell, the milk that the princess drinks will be of little nutritional value at best.

But the princess and her wet nurse both have the same disease. I suspect someone has put drugs in the wet nurse's food.
As a result, the breast milk fed to the princess also had medicinal effects, and the young child's spleen and stomach were weak, which is why he got sick."

Nian Shilan thought to herself, I guessed right.

It’s just strange, who could have drugged him?
Concubine Jing has always been low-key in the palace, and Princess Kangle is also well-behaved and cute.

And Princess Kangle is not a prince, who would do this to a child like this? What is the purpose?
Nian Shilan pretended to be casual and looked at everyone one by one.

Concubine Jing was trembling all over.

"I beg Your Majesty to help the princess! How can the princess, who is so young, endure such harm?"

Yinzhen suppressed his anger and comforted Jingpin.

"You stand up and talk first. Let Doctor Wen prescribe medicine for Kang Le first.

I will get to the bottom of this matter.

Dare to touch my daughter, this is intolerable, what can not be tolerated! "

Wen Xianqing checked the wet nurse's diet one by one, but still found nothing.

Just when Wen Xianqing was puzzled, the wet nurse who was diagnosed with the disease suddenly said.

"I know, it's the tea! There's something wrong with the tea!
The daily diet of the slaves is all prepared by the imperial kitchen. When the princess was young,
We servants dare not drink tea, but some time ago, someone gave us some tea.

I secretly thought that the princess was already three years old and her milk was getting less and less.

You can drink tea occasionally, it will not affect milk secretion.

Other than that, I have never eaten anything outside of the regulations!"

Yinzhen frowned and looked at the wet nurse who was speaking.

"If you say even a single lie, I will not let you off easily."

The wet nurse quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, please understand! The princess has been raised by us since she was three years old. How dare we treat her badly?
The tea leaves are still in my room!"

Su Peisheng had already sent Xiao Xiazi to fetch the tea from the wet nurse's room.

“This tea looks like last year’s Maojian.

Doctor Wen, please take a look at this tea to see if there is anything wrong with it."

Yinzhen only needed to look at the tea can taken from the wet nurse's room through Xiao Xia Zi's hand, and he knew what kind of tea it was.

Wen Xianqing hurriedly took the tea can, poured all the tea leaves onto the table, and used a silver needle to poke the tea leaves bit by bit.

After just a few strokes, Wen Xianqing stopped and used a silver needle to pluck out a few inconspicuous tea leaves.

Nian Shilanqi said.

"Doctor Wen, what is this? If you don't look closely, it looks no different from tea leaves."
