Chen Palace

Chapter 192 Palace Change
Unlike Yunluo's clumsy "miscarriage" incident last time, there was no herbal incense in Concubine Mei's Xihua Palace. The imperial physicians were discussing with each other, and the wolf hair soaked in thick ink was put aside, but they were still unable to write.

"How's your pulse?"

When the emperor arrived, he had regained his composure. He glanced around and asked about the imperial physician.

The imperial physicians prostrated themselves on the ground as if they were sifting chaff, and none of them would speak first.

"Are you all dead?!"

The emperor said grimly.

The leading doctor looked distressed, and only kowtowed without saying a word, but the two imperial doctors who checked the pulse every day were out of their wits, and said anxiously: "The pulse has always been calm, and there is nothing wrong now."

"Okay, you guys can't tell why, if something happens to the fetus, you will have to wait for your life!"

Seeing that life was at stake, the doctor couldn't help but whispered: "There seems to be something wrong with the armpit..."

"what?!"

"Three inches under the armpit."

Chen Lu returned from the inner room, took over the words and said.

With a flash of her eyes, she looked at the doctor's pleading and grateful eyes, and continued: "Although the pulse condition is calm, but the internal fire is weak and cold, and the three inches of the armpits are slightly bruised."

"That's because the empress stumbled."

Aunt Yue said in a trembling voice.

"yes?!"

Chen Lu glanced at her with a half-smile, and said: "Right now, there are such scumbags as you, pretending to be ignorant... You have been serving the Mei family for half your life, have you ever had a pinhole injury?"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Aunt Yue's complexion was pale, and her whole body was paralyzed by it.

It was only then that Yizheng suddenly realized, and tremblingly appointed her: "Weichen is taking the pulse through the curtain, and I asked this girl to check your mother's injuries..."

As soon as the emperor waved his hand, someone dragged Aunt Yue aside.

"Is the mother and child still alive?"

The doctor didn't dare to answer, for a long while, there was no sound in the hall, the silence was trembling.

"can."

Chen Lu finally spoke, her eyes were deep and deep, as if she was looking into an unknown void.

The emperor suddenly turned around and stared at her, as if a needle was piercing his heart, he shuddered in pain, "Blame me for being incompetent and dragging you into this matter."

"Am I the kind of woman who waits for jealousy?!"

She burst into a smile, elegant and calm, but there was a bit of sadness deep in her black eyes.

The imperial physician took the golden needles, scalded them with flames of boiling water, penetrated through the relevant acupoints, Mei Fei's complexion turned from purple to white, but she still couldn't wake up.

Chen Lu pulled out the golden needle and cut a line on the sole of her foot with a sharp knife, immediately black blood gushed out and soaked the bedding.

"The child's poisoning is still shallow, and he was lucky enough to be rescued, but the mother may not live long..."

She shook her head slowly, expressing her hopelessness.

Aunt Yue couldn't hold her hand any longer, she struggled and wept softly, "My grandson... I have a pity that this single seedling is in their hands, the conscience of heaven and earth, I watched my mother grow up, there is nothing evil! God! Ah, they forced me!"

She wailed, her voice rising in despair, and the emperor approached her and asked, "Who are they?"

Frightened by the coldness in his eyes, Aunt Yue shook her head desperately, but didn't say a word.

"How did Concubine Mei get the bruises and pinholes on her body?"

"I wrapped the needle in a handkerchief when I was supporting her... She didn't feel any pain at all."

Chen Lu inspected the few black needles as thin as a cow's hair, a very ordinary poison beyond the Great Wall, but couldn't see any clues.

Concubine Mei on the collapsed moaned slightly, and was about to wake up, Chen Lu sighed, and said to Yuan Qi, "You can accompany her!"

She didn't take a chariot, and walked back alone. Along the way, she saw the bleak autumn scenery and the gorgeous maple blossoms, and she didn't want to watch it, so she returned to Yunqing Palace.

The soil in the flower garden was wet, and a figure was busy in it. Chen Lu smiled slightly, and stepped forward to call: "Sister Rong!"

Rong'er raised her head suddenly, as if frightened, the flower shovel in her hand fell to the ground.

She kowtowed in a hurry, but Chen Lu quickly stopped her and asked, "I didn't tell you to rest, why are you here to work again?"

"No way, I can't stay idle..."

Rong'er's complexion was a little pale, and the messy hair on her forehead was blown by the wind, she said in a low voice: "I am restless, so it's good to do something for other sisters."

Chen Lu smiled and said, "These flowers are about to wither, but there is still a lingering fragrance. It's because of your good care."

Rong'er trembled when she heard this, and hurriedly said that she didn't dare to take it seriously, but her eyes never left Chen Lu.

Until Chen Lu walked into the hall, she was still leaning against the vermilion pillar, staring blankly.

Before Chen Lu could sit still, Jian Qing came in a hurry, and she said anxiously: "There's news from Pei Zhen that King Jing may change a lot in the near future!"

"What is he going to do?"

"He had secret discussions with his own personnel, as if he was discussing the defense of Beijing and China."

Jian Qing replied that she seemed to have remembered something, and a shy dark red appeared on her dark face, "The guard Guo Sheng also told me this morning that he met several fathers and elders on the way to court. They are all retired veterans, and they never go out easily."

Chen Lu looked at her with weird and subtle eyes, until she blushed and lowered her head, then she laughed and teased: "You are so familiar with Guo Sheng!"

After laughing, her complexion turned serious, and she murmured: "Beijing Central Defense...does he want to make a palace change?"

"Is he confident that he can check and balance the Beijing camp? Sun Ming is the brother-in-law of today?!"

Jian Qing dare not believe it.

"Hmph... It doesn't really matter whether the general is loyal or not."

Chen Lu sneered, when it came to military affairs, her eyes instantly shone brightly, as if she was a peerless magic weapon that was unstoppable in the world——

"If you can instigate rebellion against mid-level and lower-level officers, you can do whatever you want in the capital—the soul of the army is on them."

She got up and said: "When the emperor comes back, I will ask him to take strict precautions. Now is the time when Tuqiong's dagger appears. If there is any mistake, he will be defeated."

She changed into a simple outfit and left the dormitory. She did not bring one with her, and went to the ruins next to the imperial garden, and stepped into it again.

The familiar palace is still the same as before, standing in the ruins of the former dynasty, as if expressing its grief and indignation without words.

She walked into it, skillfully opened the main hall door, and entered the dark study room.

The place had been ransacked long ago, and there was a man curled up by the empty corner of the wall.

"Lin Kuang, by now you should know how determined your sister is to get rid of you, right?!"
