Resourceful beauty

Chapter 342
"Other things can be taken slowly. Detoxifying the king is an imminent matter now. Is there any prospect?"

In the inner hall of Xuanyi Hall, Concubine Han looked at Chu Yuan with concern in her voice.

Chu Yuan shook his head, "Since I found out that the father might be poisoned through this way, I have secretly arranged for the Qian'an Palace. In addition, the father is not in good health these days, so I didn't call my concubine to accompany me. Therefore, it will not continue to deteriorate. But the poison accumulated in the body before, now I want to get rid of it by the root, but there is no way, I hired someone to develop an antidote, and there is no progress yet."

Hearing this, Concubine Han Gui nodded her head, the melancholy between her brows deepened.

Fang Ruxuan had been listening quietly, and after a while, she said thoughtfully: "Now that it has been confirmed that the poisoning of the father was caused by the complementation of the incense and the dragon birth incense on those people, then why did Fang Ruxuan become poisonous?" Is the concubine, nobleman Ming and others alright?"

Sure enough, Concubine Han Gui and Chu Yuan also followed Fang Ruxuan's train of thought and began to meditate.

On the one hand, King Yao is old, on the other hand, it may also be related to Longdanxiang. After all, only a few kinds of incense can be mixed together to achieve a certain effect. It's just a few hours, but King Yao is in Qian'an Hall all day long.

So, speaking of it this way, King Yao was poisoned, but Concubine Fang and the others were fine, which is quite reasonable.

When Chu Yuan said this, Fang Ruxuan shook her head disapprovingly, "Even if they are not as serious as father, I think they must have been poisoned, but the symptoms are not obvious."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan's expression froze.

Fang Ruxuan's analysis was not unreasonable, the same types of incense were also washed into the body, it was impossible to say that if it accumulated in King Yao's body, it would become poisonous, while Concubine Fang and the others would be fine.

Either, Concubine Fang and the others had the antidote in their hands, or, they were actually poisoned too, but it was not obvious.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuan couldn't help cheering up.

As if asking questions, Chu Yuan looked at Fang Ruxuan and asked, "Xuan'er, what do you mean, we can start with Concubine Fang and Lady Ming to see if they have any antidote?"

Fang Ruxuan hesitated for a while, then shook her head and said: "It seems that this incense is definitely not concocted by Concubine Fang herself. If so, it was given to her by someone else. No matter who gave her the incense, she must not He will be kind enough to tell Concubine Fang clearly about the consequences. After all, Concubine Fang is not poisoned, and what will happen in the future, that person doesn't care. On the contrary, if Concubine Fang and the others die because of this, it will make the concubine behind People are safer."

Such a bold thing, as long as it is done, it will definitely leave traces. If the concubine Fang and the others go away, even if the poisoning of King Yao is revealed one day, the concubine Fang and the concubine will be broken if they are found. The person behind is really safe and secure.

"It's really a good calculation..."

Han Guifei sighed softly, then turned her head to look at Fang Ruxuan, waiting for her next words.

"So, instead of sitting still and waiting to die, we might as well take advantage of the situation to attack. After all, people are selfish. If Concubine Fang is ill, do you think she will not fight hard? She has children next to her, and she is one of the four concubines. After leaving, she still has honor in this palace. As long as she raises a pair of children with peace of mind, there will be no problem with Jinyi Food until the end of her life. If she knows that she is also poisoned, one day she will be as unknown as her father What will she do if she dies in vain?"

Guessing Concubine Fang's thoughts, Fang Ruxuan's analysis was very thorough.

Anyone would be afraid of death, let alone someone as ambitious as Concubine Fang.

Helping Queen Zhou, pulling Chu Yuan down from the throne, and then pushing King Yong to the throne, in the future, even if she couldn't tell others that King Yong's son was born to her, she was indescribably proud of it.

If she knew that she would die soon, how could she let go of the person who persuaded her to use this method to persecute King Yao?
It is naturally impossible to break the skin and make a fuss about this matter. Then, the only possibility is to ask that person for an antidote relentlessly.

Concubine Fang naturally has her own means if she doesn't give it. If she gives it, then on Chu Yuan's side, even the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole can be regarded as a bargain.

No matter how you calculate it, it is much faster than waiting for Mrs. Gong Wai Hua to develop an antidote.

Chu Yuan's eyes lit up, and regardless of Concubine Han's presence, he happily walked to the bedside and held Fang Ruxuan's hand and praised, "Xuan'er, you are really my smart star."

"But, could Concubine Fang not have thought of this?"

On the side, Concubine Han was still contemplating, as if she still had doubts, "I don't think Concubine Fang is so stupid. Since the king will be poisoned by this, no matter how small they inhale, it is inevitable. I don't believe it. Concubine Fang will trust that person so much, and use herself as bait to facilitate this matter, and will not hold back at all."

Concubine Han's words were true, for a while, Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan began to think separately again.

After a while, it seemed that there was no perfect solution, Concubine Han Guifei said: "Let's go down according to your plan first, take one step at a time, and we can only wait for the next thing to happen. Considered."

Nodding in response, he sent Concubine Han Gui away, and Chu Yuan returned to the inner hall to discuss with Fang Ruxuan for a while.

Fang Ruxuan did not participate in such details as whether to start from the Imperial Hospital or from Lord Lanyue. However, when she heard that Concubine Fang was sick and did not go to Fengming Palace to pay her respects the next day, Fang Ruxuan was still surprised by Chu Yuan's quick actions for a moment.

It was the end of March and the beginning of April. Although the weather had warmed up, there was still some chill in the spring breeze. Therefore, no one suspected that Concubine Fang had contracted an illness.

In the inner hall of Lanyue Pavilion, Concubine Fang coughed lightly from time to time, leaning against the bedpost with a pale complexion, frowning as she looked at the bowl of black medicine in Liu Shang's hand, a little impatiently, "This is a quack doctor in Tai Hospital , Will you see a doctor? I have taken the medicine for three days, but Bengong's illness has not improved at all."

"Sickness comes like a mountain, and goes away like a thread. Master has to be patient. It will be fine in a few days."

Liu Shang persuaded with soft words, while beckoning, let Qing'er bring the candied fruit box over.

After taking the medicine, rinsing her mouth, and eating a few pieces of candied fruit, Concubine Fang lay down panting lightly, but in her heart, there was some strange feeling that could not be explained clearly.

Calling Liu Shang over, Concubine Fang ordered softly: "Go to Qian'an Palace and have a look, the king is better. Also, ask Eunuch Li, which imperial doctor in the imperial hospital is responsible for the king's illness now."

Liu Shang nodded in response, turned around and went out, came back in less than half an hour, and replied carefully: "Your Majesty is still lying on the bed weakly like before, but Eunuch Li said that when the weather is good, use The soft sedan chair carried the king outside for a walk, and the king's spirit would be better. As for the king's illness, Qin Yuanzheng of the imperial hospital was in charge of it himself. Soon the king will recover."

The more I listened, the more frightened I felt. Thinking about how I had been sick for the past few days, a terrible thought suddenly popped up in Concubine Fang's heart.

Waving her hand to signal the cup to go down, Concubine Fang looked at the curtain above her head and fell into deep thought.

I didn't do anything, just fell ill for no reason. I thought it was just like what the imperial doctor said, it was caused by inadvertently catching a cold, and the evil wind entered the body, but it was really caught by the wind and cold, and I drank the medicine for three days , there should be some improvement, right?Why didn't I feel better, but showed signs of getting worse?

The seeds of doubt took root in her heart, and the more Concubine Fang thought about it, the more something was wrong, and in the evening, she heard that Mrs. Ming had a high fever and had gone to the imperial hospital to invite an imperial doctor. Concubine Fang's heart sank suddenly.

All night, waking up and falling asleep, Concubine Fang only felt a hand rushing towards her in the darkness, and outside the window lattice, there seemed to be a pair of ghostly faces looking at her, full of triumphant smiles.

In the early morning of the next day, she forced herself to get up and finished her grooming, and ordered Liuzhang to thicken the powder on her face so that she could not look sick, and Concubine Fang went to Fengming Palace.

After asking for greetings, she intentionally stayed at the end, and waited until there were no other people in the hall, then Concubine Fang raised her eyes to look at Queen Zhou and said: "I ask myself that everything I have done this year has been in accordance with your mother's heart, why should your mother be in such a hurry Get rid of my concubine?"

The gentle eyebrows turned cold instantly, Queen Zhou looked at Concubine Fang's face with a little worry, "What does Concubine Fang mean by that?"

"Using the incense given by the empress, the king has today, and the concubine, but he expressed his loyalty to the empress early in the morning, and even sent the little prince to the empress to raise him. But now, the concubine and the nobleman, They are all suffering from diseases, maybe it will not be long before they will return to the West with the king."

While talking, while paying attention to Queen Zhou's expression, Concubine Fang said in a deep voice: "I also ask the empress to give you the antidote, otherwise, if there is something good or bad about my concubine, I will definitely pull her back."

"Are you threatening me?"

King Zhou's back was as sinking as water, and his dissatisfaction grew more and more in his words.

"I don't dare, it's just that people don't kill the world for themselves. Since I dare to do this, I must stay behind. Otherwise, how can I gain a foothold in this deep palace?"

Not to be outdone, Concubine Fang looked at Queen Zhou, as if she was sure that Queen Zhou would not dare not give her the antidote.

"If I say that there is no antidote, what will you do?"

Thinking of something, Queen Zhou smiled instead of anger.

Concubine Fang didn't answer, she just sat quietly, after a while, she got up, saluted and planned to leave.

As soon as she reached the entrance of the main hall, Queen Zhou called her from behind.

When Concubine Fang turned around, she saw Fang Shanggong went to the inner hall, and when she came out again, she held a box in her hand, inside the box was a palm-sized white jade porcelain vase.

Stepping forward slowly to the Queen of Zhou, Concubine Fang prostrated herself, "Thank you for the medicine."

Concubine Fang who came out of Fengming Palace smiled complacently.
