imperial concubine

Chapter 178 Mysterious Elixir
Since the father left the capital, the crown prince supervised the country, and I have been by his side to help him manage the government.Although the crown prince is a little unfamiliar with court affairs, his enthusiasm is high, and he will definitely go to the imperial study room early every day to discuss state affairs with the ministers of the court.

I was also an assistant in the imperial study before, and I have never seen the prince feel tired, and I am very relieved in my heart. I never thought that he would secretly take pills to forcibly overdraw his energy!
After a moment of silence, Yun Jingya's face was gloomy, and she asked in a cold voice: "Why are you talking about such an important matter now? Don't you know that those pills are harmful and should not be taken at all?"

But any elixir that overdraws energy must be poisonous, and even cause people to die for no reason.Therefore, taking pills has always been a taboo in court.Not to mention the prince, even ordinary officials should know that this thing cannot be taken!

Hearing Yun Jingya's words, Dexi knew how angry she was at the moment, that's why she was so cruel.So he said quickly: "Your Highness, please forgive me. It's not that the villain refuses to speak. It's really that His Highness refuses to let the villain speak!"

Dexi naturally knew that pills should not be taken indiscriminately, but in Dexi's view, the crown prince was his master.What's more, if the crown prince is seen to be out of spirit in dealing with the affairs of the court, I am afraid that he will not be able to ascend the throne smoothly in the future, and then he will not be able to be the chief eunuch in the palace. For his own future and loyalty to the crown prince, Dexi can only Keep this matter a secret.

Seeing Dexi kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly, Yun Jingya even wanted to kill him!After finally suppressing her anger, Yun Jingya asked, "Why doesn't the prince let you speak?"

She is the prince's biological sister, and the queen mother has always loved the prince very much.If it is really lack of energy, just tell yourself and the queen mother, of course you will find a way, how could he think of such a stupid way?

Dexi, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't even dare to lift his head, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness said that Her Royal Highness works day and night, and I don't want Her Highness to be distracted by this; so I won't let the little one talk."

The bright golden phoenix shook slightly, and Yun Jingya gently held her forehead with her hands.Unexpectedly, my always well-behaved little brother would cause such a big disaster now!If the emperor knows, I'm afraid the crown prince will be deprived of it!
After a long time, Yun Jingya slowly asked: "Dexi, who else knows about this matter besides you?" Now is not the time to blame the younger brother, the most urgent thing is to control the matter first, and then slowly find a solution.

That being the case, the first task is naturally to find out all the people who know about the prince, so that they don't know the importance, and gossip everywhere in the harem, splashing dirty water on the younger brother.

Hearing Yun Jingya's words, Dexi tremblingly said: "His Royal Highness, in the entire East Palace, only villains know about it. His Royal Highness knows the seriousness of this matter, so he is extremely cautious every time he takes medicine, and only the young one is on the sidelines." serve."

Yun Jingya nodded lightly, since this is the case, then the matter will not cause too much trouble.Now first control all the upper and lower parts of the East Palace, and when the younger brother wakes up, the matter will naturally be resolved.

The queen who was sitting on the side suddenly asked: "Dexi, I want to ask you, how long has the crown prince been taking this elixir? Has this happened before? Why did you suddenly faint today?"

Hearing what the queen said, Yun Jingya breathed a sigh of relief.The queen mother was so anxious about the prince just now that she lost her position.Now it seems that the queen mother must have recovered her composure, so she can take a little breath.

Hearing the queen's question, Dexi quickly said: "Reporting to the empress, His Highness the Crown Prince has been taking this pill for about ten days, and every time he took it before, he must be full of energy. Unexpectedly, after taking it this time, His Highness the Prince Passed out suddenly."

The reason why Dexi didn't report back to the queen and Yun Jingya before was because the prince didn't have any serious problems after taking it, but he would be in good spirits, so Dexi secretly assisted the prince to conceal this matter.

After seeing her mother, she stopped talking, Yun Jingya said to Dexi: "I will write down your account for now. Now you should immediately close the gate of the East Palace. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter and leave without my handwriting. The people of the middle class are cautious in their words and deeds, if anyone spreads rumors indiscriminately, or stirs up right and wrong, and shakes people's hearts, immediately arrest me in front of this palace!"

Dexi's mind relaxes, knowing that his life cannot be lost for the time being.Just now he was really afraid that Yun Jingya or the empress would push him out and behead him in a moment of anger.After calming down, Dexi immediately took orders to clean up the people in the East Palace.

Seeing Dexi going out, Yun Jingya said to the people outside: "Call the imperial physician to see you." The maids outside agreed, and then the imperial physicians who had just left entered the hall one by one, kneeling in front of the queen and Yun Jingya to pay their respects.

A few people had a careful discussion outside the hall just now, and none of them could see what the prince's illness was. Although two of them felt that the prince had suffered from erysipelas, they didn't dare to speak without authorization, and could only speak in extremely cryptic words. A few words.

Looking at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground, Yun Jingya narrowed her eyes slightly.Now that things have developed like this, the imperial physician who is not absolutely trusted must not be used, otherwise, if this matter spreads out, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be disgraced!
Thinking of this, Yun Jingya looked at the imperial physicians on the ground, then named the names of three of them, and said, "The three of you go back first! It is enough for the three of them to take care of you in the East Palace."

According to the usual rules of the imperial hospital, when the imperial concubine or the prince is sick, three imperial physicians must be present at the same time to diagnose the pulse; only when the majesty, the prince, and the queen are sick will six imperial physicians be dispatched.Although they didn't know what was going on with Yun Jingya at this time, the three of them were lucky to be able to get out of this matter, and couldn't help but thank you again and again for their retreat.

After those three people went out, Yun Jingya looked at the remaining three people and asked: "You are all confidantes of my mother and I. Let me ask you, how do my mother and I treat you on weekdays?"

The harem is full of turmoil, but there are very few places that can be tempted.So many concubines came up with the idea of ​​the imperial hospital. After all, everyone has a headache, and it is impossible to say that this imperial doctor will be useful someday.And the three people in front of Yun Jingya are the cronies cultivated by the Queen and Yun Jingya in the imperial hospital.

The three of them didn't know each other's identities before, but now they were relieved to hear that they were all from their own people, and they said in unison: "The Empress and Her Royal Highness have treated me with great kindness, and I will definitely be your empress. already."

These three people had either been favored by the queen before, or they had been protected by Yun Jingya.In the harem where many interests are intertwined, they are also closely attached to the two backers of the Queen and Yun Jingya, so naturally they have to do things for them.

Yun Jingya nodded and said: "In this case, I will not hide it from you anymore. After the meal today, His Royal Highness secretly took a pill. It is after taking this pill that His Royal Highness will Passed out."

Hearing this news, the faces of the three of them became solemn at the same time.Most of these refined elixirs are toxic. This time, the prince must have erupted from the accumulation of toxicity in his body, which is why he suddenly fainted.

One of the imperial physicians frowned and asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, how long has Your Highness the Crown Prince been taking the elixir?" If it was taken for a short time, it might be able to force out the toxins in the Prince's body. Into the bone marrow.

After telling several imperial physicians about the crown prince taking the elixir, Yun Jingya asked: "The matter has come to this point, you are all Qihuang sages in the imperial hospital, is there any good way to rejuvenate?"

Things have come to this point, we can only hope that the few imperial physicians in front of us might be able to revive the prince.If they have no choice, they can only wait for the prince to wake up by himself.

After discussing with several imperial physicians, one of them said: "Your Majesty, dare to ask the empress and the princess to use needles on the crown prince's body to force out all the toxins in the body!"

The crown prince is the crown prince of a country, and the body of a dragon is precious, so no one would dare to touch the crown prince's body unless it is absolutely necessary.It's just that the prince has passed out now, if he doesn't make a decision, the prince will be in greater danger.

When the queen heard it, she immediately wanted to object.Then he frowned and thought about it, and asked, "Since you say so, how sure are you that you can force out all the toxins in Huang'er's body?"

It would be good if the toxins in the Prince's body could be forced out.Although it is disrespectful to move the needle on the dragon's body, but the matter is urgent, and now I can't take care of so many.

The imperial doctor pondered for a while, and then said, "If His Highness is really suffering from erysipelas, I'm still [-]% sure that I can force it out. As for how much I can force out, I dare not lie to the empress, I'm afraid I won't even have [-]%." arrive."

Since the crown prince took the elixir after meals, the elixir must have been absorbed by the body along with the meal, and what can be forced out at this time is only today's erysipelas, as for the previous erysipelas, it can only be recuperated slowly.

Hearing the imperial physician's explanation, the queen pondered for a long time, and then said: "Everything is worth it! Go quickly! Don't waste your time."

It has been nearly an hour since the prince fainted, and it is true that there is no further delay.Otherwise, the erysipelas would penetrate to the bone, and the prince might not even be able to save his life.

Hearing the queen's words, several imperial physicians quickly thanked them, and then entered the inner hall.Only Yun Jingya and the queen were silent in the outer hall. After a moment of silence, the queen gritted her teeth and said, "It must be Concubine Shu, a bitch, who has such a dirty trick!"

There is no one in the palace who has such means except Concubine Shu.Only a cruel woman like Concubine Shu has such a vicious heart, she even did not hesitate to poison and assassinate the emperor!

Yun Jingya on the side shook her head and said: "Mother, in my humble opinion, this matter may not be that simple. Although Concubine Shu is incompatible with us, the two sides are evenly matched, so they will not do such a desperate thing. Presumably someone I want to take this opportunity to disrupt the situation in the palace, and then take advantage of it."

As she spoke, Yun Jingya's eyes gradually lit up.
