Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 165
When Lu Zong went in, Xiao Duzi was dragged out of Yikun Palace by several guards with his legs limp.

He went in to meet the emperor, and only then did he find out about Xiao Duzi's poisoning.

"You came just in time, look at the medicine jar, what kind of poison is it?"

The emperor frowned, "Lv Zong takes care of the pulse of the logistics concubines. All the medicinal materials are brought to Yikun Palace for frying, and Bailu is watching."

Li Dequan, Lu Zong and Bai Lu both nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, there is no residue of other medicines in this jar."

Lu Zong carefully turned over the medicinal residues in the jar with a silver pick, but he didn't see any clues, so he poured the medicinal residues onto the lid of the medicinal jar.

He picked up each medicinal material separately, and didn't see any medicine that was different from the prescription.

Li Dequan said: "Just now Xiaoduzi has admitted that even if the silver needle test is wrong, Xiaoduzi will not be innocent and plead guilty, right?"

Lu Zong picked up the silver needle for a closer look, and lifted the small glass bowl to look at the color of the medicinal juice.

This glass is colorless and transparent, and looks extraordinarily clear.

He brought the concoction to his lips, and slowly fanned the scent.Tasting a little more at last, he turned his head away quickly.

With his back facing the emperor, he spit out the medicine juice in his mouth onto the veil.

"My minister is rude."

Lu Zong turned his head and confessed to the emperor.

"It's okay, you just say it."

The emperor was concerned, and he couldn't care less about loathing Lu Zong.

"Concubine Qin's medicine was indeed poisoned, but it was poison powder that had been tempered. It was invisible when it was melted into the medicine, so I didn't find the medicine residue."

"This medicine is not rare, but it is commonly used by bandits among the people. It is a kind of medicine powder called Menghan medicine."

The emperor frowned and said, "How could it be Mongolian sweat medicine?"

No matter if it's Concubine Tong or whoever, taking such a big risk to prescribe Chen Wenxin, what's the point of just prescribing Mongolian medicine?
Lu Zong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, for an ordinary young and strong man, this Mongolian sweat medicine is only a matter of coma for a day. But for a soft woman, it is at least two or three days in a trance and drowsy."

"The concubine Qin hasn't woken up yet, if she takes this sweat medicine, she might never wake up again..."

"Bastard!"

The emperor slapped the table and was furious, "It's such a vicious trick, and it's just a poison for others. It's nothing to others, but it's a poison that will surely kill the concubine Qin."

The person who administered the medicine must have many eyes and ears in the palace, who can know the current situation of Chen Wenxin, whether he is awake or still in a coma.

The palace people in Yikun Palace may not know it clearly, except for Bai Lu, there is no one else serving in the main hall.

This kind of handwriting really seems to come from Concubine Tong Gui.

No one else has such long tentacles.

"Your Majesty, if the concubine Qin still hasn't woken up in another quarter of an hour, please forgive me for being disrespectful."

He took out a set of needles from the medicine box, and said: "I want to use the method of pricking the acupuncture points with golden needles to force the concubine Qin to wake up."

To prick acupuncture points with golden needles, dozens of golden needles, large and small, should be pricked in many large points on the hands and feet.

Some are as thin as a hair, and some are as thick as a small sword.

The emperor has been pricked before, he knows the thickest golden needle, because of the dull pain of slowly piercing into the skin because of the roughness.

She is the most afraid of pain. She used to complain to him that her body was hurt by him after going to bed.

It is cowardly and shy at the same time, which makes people love it.

The emperor nodded, "I entrusted her to you, and you must restore her to her former health."

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Bai Lu took out a pocket watch from her sleeve, this was a habit she and Chen Wenxin had learned.

"The servants are here to record the time. If the master is still awake for a quarter of an hour, please invite the imperial physician in."

After finishing speaking, she saluted and walked to the inner room.

The moment she turned her head, there was a strange look on her face, and she looked very anxious.

It's not because of Chen Wenxin's illness, but because of what Lu Zong said about the golden acupuncture points!

The master is so afraid of pain, once the needle is stuck, it will definitely reveal his secrets.

This Imperial Physician Lu is also too deep into the drama, and he is very good-looking, what kind of golden acupuncture points are you talking about with the emperor!

Doesn't the master just think it's not realistic enough and want to faint for a while?
It's not going to work now, she has to hurry to remind the master that she must find time to wake up before Lu Zong gives her the needle.

She kicked her skirt with her toes, step by step softly and quickly, bypassing the screen, and bent down in front of her bed to raise the curtain.

"Master, master."

She called out to Chen Wenxin's ear with her airy voice, "I'm alone."

Chen Wenxin, who was sleeping peacefully on the embroidered bed, opened one eye, and after confirming that Bai Lu was the only one, opened the other eye.

Following Bai Lu's example, she said in a draughty voice, "I'm starving to death!"

"Why are you still thinking about whether you are hungry or not, Master, Doctor Lu said that if you don't wake up for a quarter of an hour, he will use golden needles to prick the acupuncture points!"

Bai Lu spoke in a hurry, she couldn't believe her ears, she widened her eyes and said, "What are you talking about?"

Bai Lu repeated again, "Golden acupuncture points! With such a big needle, it takes dozens of needles on the hands and feet!"

She gestured on her finger with her nails, "The thickest needle is as thick as half my little finger!"

Chen Wenxin made a decisive decision, "Go out and tell the emperor, I'm awake."

This Lu Zong really got into the drama too deeply to come up with such a bad idea.

If she really fainted, it would be fine if she was stabbed.

How can a living person who is awake can bear the pain of being pricked by a needle?

She is simply Xia Ziwei, and Lu Zong is the male version of Nanny Rong!
Bai Lu nodded knowingly, and exhaled softly like an Oscar queen.

"Master, are you awake?"

Chen Wenxin gave her a thumbs up.

Bai Lu got more and more energetic, and ran out in small steps, "Your Majesty, our master is awake. Doctor Lu, please go and have a look!"

Both the emperor and Lu Zong rushed to the inner room, Li Dequan followed behind, hastily following.

Bai Lu stepped forward first and pulled up the curtains of the embroidery bed on both sides with gold hooks.

Lu Zong stepped forward to check his pulse, and he didn't care about any taboos. He just smiled and said, "Your Majesty's pulse has stabilized a lot. It seems that the medicine I took earlier is still effective. I will cook another bowl."

He looked into the eyes of the emperor, and quickly added: "I will watch it myself!"

The emperor couldn't care less about him, he just nodded and sat on the edge of Chen Wenxin's bed.

Lu Zong turned his head and rolled his eyes towards the sky angrily.

He kindly wanted to act a little better for Chen Wenxin, but she didn't appreciate it, hum.

Seeing that he was about to sacrifice the set of golden needles that had not been used for a long time, he was excited for a long time in vain.

Ugh.

He sighed silently, touched the bundle containing the gold needles in his arms, and yelled in his heart what a pity.

The emperor looked carefully at Chen Wenxin lying on the bed, her complexion was pale and her lips were dry.

She breathed out slightly, not knowing what to say.

Bai Lu brought tea, "Master, moisten your lips first."

Looking at Chen Wenxin's eyes, one could tell that she was thirsty.

The emperor raised her back with his own hands, and Bai Lu fed her some tea, which she drank.

"emperor……"

Her voice was thin and weak, and she cleared her throat unconsciously.

I had been talking to Bai Lu with Qiqi for a long time just now, but now I can't speak properly.

The emperor hurriedly said: "I am here, Nian Nian. How do you feel now?"

She felt much better after clearing her throat, and her voice was finally normal.

"Your Majesty, I'm so hungry..."

Bai Lu lowered her head, trying her best to pretend she didn't hear anything.

The emperor was taken aback, thinking he had heard wrong.

She shook her head anxiously, trying to get the emperor's attention, thinking he didn't hear.

"Hungry, did you hear me? I said, hungry..."

She looked at Bai Lu, this stupid girl didn't know how to get her something to eat first.

She didn't eat well at Concubine Hui's birthday banquet today, and she was already hungry until now.

Although she didn't know why she was hungry when she woke up, the emperor quickly reacted and asked Li Dequan to get food.

"Yes, yes. The small kitchen has made porridge and your favorite Gaoyou salted duck eggs."

As long as there is something to eat, it is better than starving.

Chen Wenxin nodded repeatedly, as if waiting for a meal.

This is different from what the emperor imagined.

He thought that when Chen Wenxin woke up, she would either cry aggrievedly at him, or refuse to see him indifferently.

If it's the former, it means that she doesn't bear any grudges against herself, and everyone will be happy.

If it's the latter, that's common sense, he is willing to coax her well slowly.

But now she only thinks about eating, and she looks very weak again.

Is he going to take the initiative to open this mouth?

Forget it, she just woke up, it's better not to stimulate her yet.

"Nian Nian, how do you feel now?"

What the emperor cared most about was her body. He had to understand her physical condition first, so that Lu Zong could prescribe the right medicine.

However, Chen Wenxin didn't seem to hear it.

She glanced outside from time to time, as if waiting for someone to come.

Oh, she is waiting for dinner.

It looked like she was really hungry.

The emperor couldn't help but feel happy, she is thinking about eating now, does it mean that she has forgiven herself?
Lu Zong said that she had no intention of eating or drinking a while ago because of depression.

Now she is willing to eat, which is always a good thing.

He shouted loudly to the outside: "Li Dequan, why is the food still not served?"

Seeing this, Bai Lu hurriedly said, "Maidservant, let's go outside and have a look."

After she finished speaking, she was about to go out, but Chen Wenxin reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes.

Bai Lu was her most trusted personal maid, and Bai Lu took care of her every step of the way when she was sick.

The emperor thought for a while, and said: "You are still here to accompany your master, let me go."

He carefully leaned Chen Wenxin's back on the pillow, and took a deep look at her.

Her gaze was never on herself.

The emperor sighed slightly, turned and walked outside.

After he walked out of the inner room, Chen Wenxin and Bai Lu looked at each other with a clear look in their eyes.

Everything is in her plan.
