Chapter 338 Poisoning
"Poisoned?"

Fang Ruxuan had an incredulous expression on her face.

King Yao can be said to be the most important person in the palace. Not to mention the daily meals, as long as it is imported, there is nothing that has not passed the silver needle inspection. How could it be poisoned?
The hand beside him was clenched tightly into a fist because of anger, and a heavy haze had accumulated in Chu Yuan's deep eyes. At this moment, there was a biting chill all over his body, making people just look at him. Fear arises at a glance.

"are you sure?"

Fang Ruxuan stretched out her hand to hold Chu Yuan's cold hand, and asked in a soft voice.

Chu Yuan shook his head, "My father said it himself."

This time, Fang Ruxuan was even more surprised.

"Father said that he knows his own body and size. I'm afraid it's not a simple faint this time, otherwise, he is really old. Could it be that he is still weaker than the Queen Mother's body?"

Said in a deep voice, Chu Yuan's complexion became more and more dignified.

The Empress Dowager Lou is over 70 years old, and she will be ill every spring and autumn, but even if it is a lingering sick bed, with the meticulous care of the palace people around her, she will recover within half a month.

This time, King Yao just passed out, but he has been bedridden for half a month, and until now, he still feels weak in his legs and feet, unable to walk too far.

As King Yao said, I am afraid I know best about my own body. I didn’t have any serious illnesses in the past few decades. How could I faint because of the short-term bad air in Qian’an Hall, and then I have been bedridden all the time?

"But the five stone powder from a few days ago?"

Apart from this, Fang Ruxuan couldn't think of any other way to poison King Yao in the palace.

Chu Yuan shook his head, "Father said that after fainting last time, he never touched Wushisan again, and he felt refreshed after almost two or three days. But this time, it seemed that every day was heavier than before. It's getting more and more serious, so he has such doubts."

"Then, do you want to find a doctor from outside the palace to come into the palace to show my father?"

Fang Ruxuan came up with an idea.

Chu Yuan remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Although medicine and poison are interlinked, if King Yao is poisoned, there are so many skilled imperial doctors in Tai Hospital who can always tell, but if the poisoner really intends to do so, how can he use ordinary poison?Wouldn't it be irritating to be seen by others at that time and to show one's feet?
Therefore, if King Yao was really poisoned, then the poison might not be so simple.

Moreover, the person who poisoned him must be staring at King Yao and Qian'an Hall all the time. If Chu Yuan wanted to take someone there to see King Yao, it would not be so easy.

Thinking deeply layer by layer, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help feeling a little terrified.

That man is King Yao, who is the god of Yao country, who is so bold as to dare to poison King Yao?
Although she knew in her heart that there were only a few suspects, Fang Ruxuan still felt a little unbelievable.

"What did the father say?"

Now, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but feel a little headache when she was really in a dilemma.

Thinking of the bitterness on King Yao's face when he talked about it, Chu Yuan felt a pain in his heart, and his clenched fist made a "cracking" sound.

After a while, he calmed down and said: "Father didn't say anything, he only said that he suspected that he was poisoned. I think he probably wanted me to know the current situation inside and outside the palace, and let me be on guard. .As for the father...I'll just think of another way."

Sighing sadly, Chu Yuan slowly let go of his hand, smiled at Fang Ruxuan, stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, got up and went out.

"Daddy, Daddy..."

Brother Ming's dissatisfied voice came from the entrance of the hall. Fang Ruxuan stood up and walked out. The little guy held Nurse Chen's hand with a worried expression on his face.

On the other side, Chu Yuan had long since disappeared.

"Daddy is busy, mother will play with you, okay?"

Fang Ruxuan patted Brother Ming's head and said.

Nodding her head, her pouting mouth could still hold an oil bottle, Fang Ruxuan sighed to herself, took Brother Ming's little hand and turned back to the inner hall.

After a while, Hu Moyan came.

"The womb is not peaceful these days. When it comes time for you to give birth, why don't you let Brother Ming and the wet nurse go to the Qixia Palace, and I will take care of you, so you can give birth with peace of mind."

Hu Moyan said softly.

"It's okay..."

Fang Ruxuan shook her head, "I feel more at ease when he is by my side."

Chu Yuan was in the palace, and the Xuanyi Palace was full of people, so no one dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, Hu Moyan nodded and talked with Fang Ruxuan for a while.

Seeing that Fang Ruxuan was a little absent-minded, Hu Moyan didn't ask any more questions. After sitting for a while, he got up and left. However, before leaving, he said to Fang Ruxuan: "If there is any embarrassing thing, you might as well leave it to me. It's always free." Being idle is also idle, with something to do, life will not be so boring.”

Fang Ruxuan smiled and nodded in agreement, watching Hu Moyan's leaving back, she gradually had an idea in her heart.

Chu Yuan didn't come back until Haishi, and seeing Fang Ruxuan lying under the quilt, leaning against the corner of the bed waiting for her, she couldn't help complaining, Fang Ruxuan smiled, and while ordering Ding Xiang to prepare supper, she waved to Chu Yuan and signaled him to come over Sit beside yourself.

"If the father was really poisoned, then the person who poisoned him must be someone close to him. Now, inside and outside the Qian'an Hall, I am afraid that there are eyes full of eyes, staring at the people who come in and out of the father's side."

Chu Yuan wanted to find someone to enter the palace to treat King Yao, but also wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears, this was what made him difficult.

Seeing him nodding, Fang Ruxuan continued: "In this palace, no matter who goes to Qian'an Hall, I'm afraid they will attract attention, but there is only one person who won't."

"Who?"

Chu Yuan asked curiously.

"Concubine Hu."

Speaking softly, Fang Ruxuan revealed her plan, "See if I can find a female doctor outside the palace. When the time comes, I will take Brother Ming and Concubine Hu to Qian'an Temple to visit the sick, and the doctor will pretend to be a doctor." It's the female officials or maidservants next to Concubine Hu, most likely, they can get away with it."

Apart from the unfavored concubines, Hu Moyan can be regarded as the most reclusive person in the palace.

At the beginning, she entered the palace by draft, in order to avoid serving the servants, she even stayed in bed with illness for more than three months. Later, she found out that she was mediocre. After getting close to Fang Ruxuan, she went to the hunting ground of Yuyuan the most.

At other times, except for the grand New Year's Day to pay respects to Empress Dowager Lou and Queen Zhou, she would hardly step out of the Eastern Palace.

Therefore, those who follow Hu Moyan will not show up outside the East Palace, and it is only reasonable that no one in the palace knows about it.

Seemingly feeling that Fang Ruxuan's proposal was promising, Chu Yuan was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly.

However, in an instant, he asked Fang Ruxuan suspiciously, "Where is the Hu family..."

Hu Moyan has been in the East Palace for more than two years. Even though they often go to Qixia Palace to rest, the two of them don't talk much except playing chess. Compared to Fang Ruxuan, Chu Yuan knows little about Hu Moyan.

"I believe her..."

Speaking with certainty, Fang Ruxuan smiled and said, "I'll arrange these things. You just need to find a female doctor who is proficient in poisonous arts outside the palace as soon as possible and send her to the East Palace."

Chu Yuan nodded, held Fang Ruxuan in his arms, and said with guilt, "I have wronged you, and I want you to worry about these things."

"Fool, we are husband and wife, husband and wife should be one, shouldn't we?"

Annoyed softly, noticing that Ding Xiang came in with a tray without looking sideways, Fang Ruxuan pushed Chu Yuan, "Hurry up and eat something."

Chu Yuan moved very quickly. At noon on the third day, Mrs. Lin'an entered the palace to greet the Empress Dowager Lou. Chu Yuan didn't know how to do it, but a middle-aged woman sneaked into the palace, and then went to the East Palace.

Near noon, Queen Zhou was in Shouchang Palace, Fang Ruxuan took Brother Ming, Hu Moyan, and the middle-aged woman to Qian'an Palace.

Apart from Li Sheng, Fang Ruxuan hardly knew the servants serving in Qian'an Palace, but when she saw Fang Ruxuan coming, Li Sheng nodded and welcomed her in.

After a while, Chu Yuan also arrived.

On the surface, it seems that the prince brought his wife, concubines and son from the East Palace to pay his respects to the king, and the family shared a family relationship. Therefore, it seemed natural for Li Sheng to drive all the people serving in the palace out of the palace to serve.

After more than half an hour, everyone left. In the inner hall, King Yao still looked sluggish, leaning lazily on the side of the bed. Everything was the same as before.

The maidservants of the inner palace walked into the inner hall lightly, each busy with their own errands, and in the An'an Hall, the tranquility of the past was restored.

After lunch in Shouchang Palace, Madam Lin'an left the palace and returned home.

From the beginning to the end, no one noticed that there was one person added or subtracted beside the carriage in the Marquis of Lin'an.

In the evening, when Chu Yuan returned to Xuanyi Hall, Fang Ruxuan greeted her eagerly, "How is it?"

Sighing lightly, Chu Yuan said in a low voice, "It is indeed poisoning."

"Then, is there a cure?"

Fang Ruxuan's heart froze.

With a bitter smile on his face, Chu Yuan led Fang Ruxuan to sit down on the soft couch, and said in a somewhat dejected way: "Doctor Hua said that if she knows what kind of poison she has been poisoned, even if the disease has reached the bone marrow, she can do something about it. But, now The difficulty is that one does not know what kind of poison one is suffering from. The poison hides silently in the body, and the person who has been poisoned looks like he is about to recover from a long illness. Therefore, if it is not for careful diagnosis and treatment, it is impossible to find out that it is poisoning. Moreover, as far as she knows, the origin of this poison is probably not simple, and the poisons commonly used in the market are not even as good as this poison."

A heart sank little by little with Chu Yuan's words, and Fang Ruxuan's expression changed from hopeful at the beginning to depressed.

It's no wonder that the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital couldn't diagnose him. The person who poisoned him was really deep and vicious. It is expected that even if the poison was placed on King Yao, no one would be able to see the root cause.

The lingering sickness dragged on for some time, and King Yao gradually withered until he finally passed away. I am afraid that no one would think that there was anything wrong, and only thought that King Yao was at the end of his lifespan.

"What a vicious mind..."

Fang Ruxuan sighed in a low voice.
