imperial concubine

Chapter 179
The situation in the harem has always been clear, that is the dispute between concubine Shu and the empress, and in the court it is the dispute between the second prince and the crown prince.Although the Queen's side has a righteous reputation, but the Second Prince's side is stronger. Comparing the two sides, they are evenly matched.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Concubine Shu will never do such useless tricks.Then the only possibility is that someone wants to sow discord, and then take advantage of the melee between the two parties, so that she can take advantage of it.

Hearing Yun Jingya's words, the queen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Although this harem is huge, there is no other person with such powerful means except Concubine Shu. Only she has the ability, means and opportunity to do it." This kind of thing."

In the harem, only concubine Shu is almost as powerful as the empress.Although other people have also had this idea of ​​fishing in troubled waters, firstly, they are not strong enough, and secondly, they have no chance at all.After all, the palace is full of the eyeliner of the Queen and Concubine Shu. Before these things are done, one of them will find out.

Hearing what the queen said, Yun Jingya nodded and said: "It is true that no one in the harem could do it before, but it doesn't mean that no one in the harem can do it now. Empress, do you think so?"

The queen's eyes gradually lit up, and she knew who Yun Jingya was referring to.If you look at Jingya's deduction, it is somewhat possible.Although this plan is a bit difficult, it is easy for that person.

At this moment, a court lady rushed out of the inner hall, knelt down in front of the two, "Empress, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, just vomited blood!"

The queen and Yun Jingya got up at the same time, bypassed the maids and ran towards the inner hall at the same time.In the inner hall, three imperial physicians were taking turns administering needles to the prince. The prince was lying on the bed, and a copper basin on the ground was full of black dirty blood.

The two came to the front quickly, frowning and asked: "What's the matter, Your Highness the Crown Prince? Why did you vomit blood when you are fine?" The Crown Prince just fainted just now, but now he still hasn't woken up despite the needles.Not only that, but he started vomiting blood.

One of the imperial doctors gave the last injection, and then said to the queen: "Your Majesty, I just forced the poisonous blood out of His Highness the Crown Prince's body just now. Wait a little longer, and His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely wake up."

As soon as the words fell, the prince on the bed hummed softly, and then slowly opened his eyes, looking at the people standing in front of the bed, his eyes were blurred, and he looked extremely weak.

Seeing her younger brother like this, Yun Jingya's heart ached. Regardless of the stench of blood in front of the bed, she threw herself directly beside her younger brother, and said softly, "Little brother, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

Although Yun Jingya was in the outer hall just now, she wanted to whip this ignorant younger brother severely, but recently, seeing that the younger brother has become so weak, her thoughts just disappeared, leaving only pity and heartache in her heart.

The prince wanted to speak, but he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.Seeing his sister crying like this, he wanted to raise his hand to wipe away her tears, but just as he raised his hand, it fell down feebly.

Yun Jingya immediately held her little brother's hand, she forced a smile and said, "Little brother, it's okay, the imperial doctors have seen you just now, as long as you take care of it for a few days, you will definitely get better."

Seeing the tears disappearing from Yun Jingya's face, the prince smiled very weakly, his eyes full of self-blame.I just don't want others to look down on me.But never expected that a moment of carelessness would bring such a big trouble to the queen mother and sister.

The queen on one side looked at her son, feeling extremely sad.It's just that she was extremely calm, and she didn't show all her feelings like Yun Jingya did, but said to the imperial physician lightly: "The prince must be cured!"

Although the queen's words were light, they still fell into the prince's ears.He wanted to raise his head, but there was no strength left.In the end, he could only turn his eyes to the queen, look at the corner of the queen's skirt faintly, and called out, "Mother queen." Then he tilted his head, and passed out again.

The imperial physicians at the side hurriedly asked Yun Jingya to step aside, and then they were checking pulses and administering needles. After a long time, they finished their work. One of them got up and said to the queen and Yun Jingya: "The empress, your highness, the prince is really too weak now. I don't even have the strength to speak. Now that the minister is giving acupuncture to His Highness, His Highness has already fallen asleep. Tomorrow, it should be better."

Yun Jingya looked at her little brother lying on the bed who didn't even have the strength to speak, and felt extremely angry.If I let myself know who the person who paid the tribute is, I will definitely chop her up to vent my hatred!

The queen sighed softly, and then said: "In this case, the rest of the maids serving His Highness should step down! Imperial Physician Chen, the three of you come out with me, I have something to ask you."

Hearing what the queen said, the three imperial physicians responded repeatedly.Then he told the palace maid to call herself immediately if something happened.Then the three of them followed the queen and Yun Jingya to the outside of the hall.

Looking at the sky in the nunnery outside the window, the queen said slowly: "Three imperial physicians, from your point of view, what is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I don't understand this, so I ask the three imperial physicians to enlighten me."

It was said before that the prince had a stagnant stomach, but later it was said that the prince had suffered from erysipelas.Now that the three of them were able to revive the prince, it meant that the three of them must have found out the cause of the prince, so the queen asked.

Chen Taiyi stepped forward and reported: "The Empress, Your Royal Highness, in my humble opinion, the blood that His Royal Highness just vomited out is extremely black in color and has an extremely unpleasant stench. Two situations."

After giving the prince the injection just now, the prince's body twitched continuously, and then he opened his mouth to spit out black blood, which had a pungent and unpleasant smell. Such symptoms were not the symptoms of the two diseases just mentioned at all.

Hearing Chen Taiyi's words, Yun Jingya anxiously asked: "Then what happened to His Royal Highness? Why did he faint? And he spit out so much black blood?"

Yun Jingya loved her younger brother very much since she was a child, and the relationship between the siblings was extremely deep.Later, her younger brother was registered as the crown prince, and Yun Jingya studied hard even more, thinking that she would do her best to help her younger brother in the future, but she didn't expect that such a thing would happen to her younger brother who had just been in charge of the country.Seeing her younger brother suffering, Yun Jingya wished she could replace her with her own body.

Seeing Yun Jingya's anxious look, Imperial Physician Chen said slowly: "Just now, I tried using a silver needle in the black blood spit out by the prince, and the silver needle turned black instantly. Coupled with the prince's symptoms before, I boldly speculate that, The prince must have been poisoned!"

Apart from being extremely poisonous, no illness would have deteriorated so quickly.At noon, he just fainted, and in the afternoon he started to vomit blood. Although he said that the black blood was the toxin he forced out, in fact, the black blood was just spit out because the prince couldn't hold it in his body. .

When the queen heard what Chen Taiji said, her lips were tightly pressed together, and then she asked, "Do you know this kind of poison? Can you dissolve this poison?"

The most urgent task now is not to find out who poisoned the prince, but to save the prince's life first.If the crown prince can't be rescued, I will let the nine clans of the poisoned person be buried with the emperor!
Imperial physician Chen was silent for a moment and said: "I will report to my lord, the minister and the other three are all doctors of general medicine, and we can only postpone it but not resolve it. My lord should invite a general doctor to come here at this time."

The Tai Hospital is divided into thirteen departments, and I belong to the Dafang Department.Although he was taught a few ways to detoxify by an expert when he was walking in the rivers and lakes in his early years, the matter is of great importance, so it is better to invite doctors who specialize in poisons in miscellaneous subjects to come here.

The Queen asked lightly, "Since Imperial Physician Chen said so, then follow what Imperial Physician Chen said. It's just that I don't know who has the best medical skills in the miscellaneous subjects of the Imperial Hospital. Imperial Physician Chen can recommend someone to me!"

Imperial Physician Chen was silent for a while, knowing that the queen trusted him, this matter was of great importance, and unreliable people could not recommend to the queen at all.If the medical skills are too poor, it will not work.

After a while, Imperial Physician Chen said to the Queen: "Although Li Fangyuan, a doctor of miscellaneous medicine, is still young, his medical skills are extremely superb. The Queen Mother can send someone to announce that this person will come to resolve the poison for His Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing what Chen Taiji said, the queen immediately ordered Li Fangyuan to enter the palace.About half an hour later, under the leadership of Dexi, Li Fangyuan walked into the East Palace, sweating profusely.

Looking at Li Fangyuan, who was kneeling on the ground with a beautiful face, the queen first asked a few words that were neither painful nor itchy, and then asked slowly: "Are you confident that you can bring His Highness the crown prince back?"

At this moment, only five people knew the news that the prince was poisoned. Apart from the three imperial physicians, there were only the queen and Yun Jingya, so the queen didn't mention the poisoning of the prince in front of Li Fangyuan at all.

Li Fangyuan didn't know why the queen came to him in the middle of the night. Only then did he realize that it was to treat the prince's illness. "I can't guarantee that I have little talent, but I will do my best."

Hearing this, Yun Jingya was furious, if you can't save your little brother, what use are you?Just as she was about to speak, she saw the queen shaking her head slightly. Yun Jingya restrained her anger and waited for the queen to speak.

The Queen said slowly: "In that case, you can do whatever you want. Imperial Physician Chen, you guys should help Imperial Physician Li. Go quickly! Time is running out."

Doctor Chen knew that the queen was worried about Li Fangyuan, so he let himself stare at him.So he quickly responded, and led Li Fangyuan to the inner hall, and told Li Fangyuan the prince's symptoms in a low voice while walking.

Seeing several imperial physicians go in, Yun Jingya said worriedly: "Queen, do you think my younger brother can survive this test?" .

The queen glared at Yun Jingya, and then said: "The emperor is the true son, and this ups and downs will definitely pass. You just need to rest assured. If I let this palace hear such words again, I will definitely punish you !'

Yun Jingya knew that the queen mother was also scared.Not only was she afraid of what she said, but even when her younger brother woke up just now, the queen mother didn't dare to step forward and take a look.If she saw her younger brother's appearance, she might collapse immediately, right?

I don't know how long it took, Li Fangyuan came out from the inner hall, and said to the queen: "Your Majesty, the toxin in the body of His Highness the Prince has been temporarily stabilized by the minister, and it will not flare up tonight."

The queen nodded, and waved for Dexi to take the four of them to the side hall to rest.At this time, the prince has just stabilized, and the news cannot be spread.That's why the queen strictly guarded these four imperial physicians.

Hearing that the younger brother's condition was temporarily stable, Yun Jingya squinted her eyes slightly, and said through gritted teeth, "Mother, should we find out all those who want to harm my younger brother now, and then behead them for public display, ransacking the family and exterminating the family?"

No matter in which dynasty, assassinating the prince is a serious crime, and ransacking the family is already the lightest punishment.If Yun Jingya is allowed to hold the power this time, when that person is caught, he will definitely be hacked into pieces, and then his nine clans will be wiped out!
The queen on one side shook her head, and said softly, "I'm not in that mood right now. Let's talk about it after the emperor wakes up!" Then the queen turned and walked towards the inner hall, presumably to see the prince.

Seeing her mother's appearance, Yun Jingya's heart ached. She could tell her mother about her pain, but who should she confide in her mother's pain?Looking at the Queen's back, Yun Jingya couldn't help but be infatuated.
