The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 395 Is it good or bad?
In a blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the palace was celebrating the New Year with great joy.

Except for Sui Yuxuan, the servant was trembling in fear all day long.

Five days have passed, and this is the sixth day, but Lady Wan's face does not look any better.

When Lady Wan looked in the mirror early in the morning, she felt irritable and uneasy.

She couldn't suppress her anger towards Cui Jinxi.

"Jinxi, go get Doctor Wen for me.

Isn’t he the most powerful physician in the palace?

Why is it that after five or six days of treatment, there is no improvement at all?
My face still looks like this!

If this continues, when will it get better?!"

Cui Jinxi went forward to check, and saw that Concubine Wan's face was as red as it was in the past few days.

"My lady, please be patient. I will go and get Doctor Wen right away!"

After a while, Wen Xianqing came to Suiyuxuan.

But this time he didn't carry the medicine box himself, but brought a younger man, his son Wen Shichu.

Wen Shichu has been staying with Yunli for the past few days, and the two gradually get along like brothers.

The reason why he was able to follow Wen Xianqing to the inner garden of the imperial palace today was because Yunli gave him a few days to manage his own affairs.

Secondly, Wen Xianqing asked Yinzhen for help and wanted to keep his son by his side to teach him personally.

Wen Shichu had no achievements and had not passed the layers of examinations, so Yinzhen thought about it again and again and agreed to Wen Xianqing.

Now Wen Shichu followed Wen Xianqing to Suiyuxuan, and Wen Shichu remembered his father's instructions firmly.

He only held the medicine box at his side. When Wen Xianqing knelt, he knelt too.

When Wen Xianqing stood up, he also stood up and stood quietly beside him with his head down.

Lady Wan didn't care much about it and just thought that Wen Xianqing had brought a disciple.

Wen Xianqing took Wan Guiren's pulse, but the more he examined her, the more confused he became.

"My lady's pulse a few days ago only showed that the middle jiao spleen and stomach were out of harmony.
In the past few days, the medicine I took has not shown any improvement.

Now I feel the pulse, it seems like..."

Wan Guiren's heart sank. She probably knew that Wen Xianqing never concealed the truth about his patients when he was treating them.

"Doctor Wen, please tell me what it is like."

Concubine Wan had some vague guesses in her heart, but when she heard Wen Xianqing say that it seemed to be caused by poisoning, Concubine Wan still became uncontrollably angry!

Lady Wan slammed the table and stood up!
"Poisoned? What kind of poison could Doctor Wen diagnose?!"

Wen Xianqing said hurriedly.

"My dear, please be patient. You are not in good health right now and you should not get angry.

I am not sure what the poison is.

It looks a bit like a poisonous weed that I have seen among the people before.

I still need to confirm it."

Cui Jinxi hurriedly helped Concubine Wan to sit down. Concubine Wan calmed down before speaking.

"How can Doctor Wen be sure?"

Wen Xianqing said.

"It's not difficult, but it will hurt your body a bit."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shichu immediately opened the medicine box and took out Wen Xianqing's silver needle.

Lady Wan couldn't help but take a look at this clever young man.

But her face was still covered with a veil, and she looked away with just a quick glance.

Feeling the gaze of Lady Wan on him, Wen Shichu remained calm and slowly prepared the silver needles for Wen Xianqing.

Wen Xianqing took the silver needle handed to him by Wen Shichu and said softly.

"My lord, I am sorry."

Without waiting for Concubine Wan's reaction, he inserted the silver needle into the Hegu point on Concubine Wan's left hand.

Wen Xianqing gently turned the silver needle, and Concubine Wan frowned in unbearable pain.

When the pain was so severe, Lady Wan couldn't help but moan. However, her voice was gentle and beautiful, and this painful sound had a certain meaning that made people daydream.

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Wan Guiren bit her lip tightly and refused to say anything.

No one noticed that Wen Shichu, who was standing behind Wen Xianqing, blushed quietly.

Wen Shichu, who has gradually learned about the world recently, felt a little nervous. He lowered his head and bent his waist a little more.

Wen Xianqing had no time to take care of these. He stopped rotating the silver needle and pulled it out of Lady Wan's Hegu acupoint.

Wen Xianqing looked carefully at the black mark on the silver needle and confirmed his guess.

Lady Wan didn't care about the aching needle hole and asked anxiously.

"What did Doctor Wen diagnose?"

Wen Xianqing handed the silver needle to Wen Shichu, who came to his senses and put away the silver needle.

Wen Xianqing said.

"My Lord, I have diagnosed that you have indeed been poisoned by a kind of poison that I have seen in the folk.

People call that poisonous substance "Autumn Grass". Just hearing the name, it is hard to imagine that it is poisonous.

But its toxicity is not fatal, it just causes discomfort to the skin.

Initially, a red rash will appear on the face, and after a while, the rash will also appear on other parts of the body.

This rash is different from other rashes. It does not hurt or itch, but it will be red and connected into patches.

The whole thing looks like a cooked shrimp, so it is also called red shrimp grass.

I just gave you an acupuncture injection. A normal person will not feel any pain when the needle is inserted.

But seeing that the young lady was in unbearable pain just now, and the silver needle turned black when I carefully observed it,
Combined with the symptoms you have had these days, we can be very sure."

Lady Wan asked anxiously.

"If that's the case, why didn't you and Doctor Qiu diagnose it at the beginning?

So much treatment time has been wasted!"

Wen Xianqing cupped his hands and said helplessly.

"My lord, calm down. The poison was very light in the beginning, and it must have been mixed into your daily diet.
It was difficult for others to notice. In addition, the young lady had obvious symptoms of spleen and stomach disharmony at the time.

This led to our failure to diagnose the disease in time.

It can be diagnosed now because the poison gradually accumulates in the body.

I dare to ask, where else on your body is this?

Have you had similar symptoms in the past two days?"

Lady Wan was stunned for a long time without saying anything. Since Cui Jinxi helped her take a bath last night, she noticed that there were faint red marks on her thighs.

She always thought she had no enemies in the harem.

However, she didn't expect that the enemy was hidden and she was in the open, making it hard to guard against.

Wen Xianqing said again.

"I need to investigate the young master's diet these days.

As for where this poison came from, I am powerless to do anything about it."

Lady Wan lowered her eyes, and after a while she raised her head with a firm look in her eyes.

"Before this matter is fully investigated, if I rashly tell the emperor, please make the decision.

Now, in the first month of the year, it would either cause a disturbance, or the price would be being disliked by the emperor for being ignorant.

Either the cause cannot be found out and nothing is done about it. The person who poisoned the person is extremely vicious.
Don’t let it go unchecked and end up working in vain.”

Wen Xianqing understood and followed Lady Wan's instructions to suppress the matter, only prescribing some antidote.

Only after taking Wen Shichu out of Shuiyuxuan did Wen Xianqing sigh.

Wen Shichu was puzzled, so he moved closer to his father and asked in a low voice.

"Why is father sighing? Is this young lady's illness difficult to cure?"

Wen Xianqing did not answer Wen Shichu's words, but spoke with a heavy heart.

“As a father, I don’t know whether it is right for you to learn medicine and inherit the medical skills of our ancestors.

Now, I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to seek a job with you in the palace.”
