Chapter 019: Two Poisons Meet
When Cheng Jingjing and the group came to Youlan Courtyard, Wen Miao's face was almost bloodless. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
The accompanying imperial physician hurriedly checked her pulse, fed her a few pills and said, "Lord An, Mrs. Wen's pulse is weak, the old minister has fed her a few reassuring pills for the time being, and she needs to be observed again to determine the cause." β
"How could a good person suddenly be bedridden?" Yang An looked at Cheng Jingjing with a dissatisfied expression.
There are only two of them living in this courtyard, and Cheng Jingjing doesn't blame herself for being questioned by him, biting her lip and saying: "The slave and maid don't take good care of it, please punish the prince, but before that, you must let the Tai Doctor heal the lady." β
"Do you know what Mrs. Wen has eaten today?" asked the Imperial Doctor after a moment's thought.
Cheng Jingjing thought for a while and said, "Today, Mrs. went out to climb the mountain with the princess and princess, and came back for a family banquet, but other than that, it was the same as usual. Don't...... Is this poisoning?"
The Imperial Physician nodded and said, "The pulse is high and low, the tongue coating is purple, and the whole body is hot, it should be the poison of the dragon snake grass." But this poison has a special feature, it needs an introduction to induce toxicity. β
When Cheng Jingjing heard the imperial doctor say this, she suddenly felt chills all over her body, someone framed Wen Miao so carefully, since they didn't know it, they were still giggling all day long.
"What's the introduction?" Yang An asked.
"Back to the prince," the imperial doctor said, "this introduction is called gentian fruit, in ancient times, someone picked this fruit in the wild and ate it, and then picked the dragon snake grass on the side and chewed it, and after a while, he was hot and died of poisoning." Mrs. Wen was probably bedridden because she accidentally ate both at the same time. β
"Does the Imperial Doctor have an antidote?" Cheng Jingjing asked anxiously.
"When the official writes a prescription, you can grab a few more and come back to see the effect. Although he had never encountered this kind of disease before, the antidote medicine still knew a thing or two. Mrs. Wen's condition is dangerous, and she must hurry. β
Hearing what the imperial doctor said, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after getting the prescription he wrote, Yang An ordered people to go to the best pharmacy in the city to pick up the medicine non-stop.
"Lord Wang," at this time, the imperial doctor whispered to Yang An, "Can you go out with you to talk?"
Yang An saw that something was wrong, so he walked out of the corridor outside with the imperial doctor. After the subordinates left, he asked, "What does Imperial Doctor Yu have to say to this king?"
"Returning to the prince," the imperial doctor said hesitantly, "There is something that the lower official does not know whether to talk about or not." β
"Did the Imperial Doctor think Mrs. Wen's poisoning was strange?" Yang An asked calmly.
Imperial Physician Yu hurriedly said: "The officials in the prince's mansion don't dare to talk much, they just want to tell the prince that few people in the world know about these two poisons, and ordinary people will not buy these things, and only those who are on duty in the Tai Hospital can have access to these two rare medicinal materials......"
"The king understood. Yang An listened to his words thoughtfully.
When Yang An walked into the house, he saw Cheng Jingjing kneeling on the edge of the bed, and everyone else had dispersed, leaving her alone to accompany Wen Miao silently.
"The antidote will come soon, and you don't have to worry too much. β
Yang An walked to Cheng Jingjing's side, but saw her face full of tears and sobbing in a low voice.
"Miao, you must hold on, if you are gone, what is the meaning of my life in this world. There is nothing left in the first place, and if you leave, I ...... I don't want to stay any longer!"
The more Cheng Jingjing spoke, the more excited she became, and in the end she had the idea of looking for a short time, Yang An didn't expect that their master and servant were already like sisters, sighed, and comforted her: "Imperial Doctor Yu gave Miao Miao a reassurance, at least she is safe until the antidote comes." You're crying here, aren't you anxious and out of breath when she hears you?"
When Cheng Jingjing heard him say this, she didn't dare to cry, wiped her tears and stood up, but her face was still full of sadness.
At this time, the maid hurriedly brought the medicine over, Cheng Jingjing helped Wen Miao to feed her the medicine herself, and saw that the other party's face finally had blood, and the big stone in her heart fell.
After calming down, Cheng Jingjing returned to her previous thoughtfulness. She invited Yang An out of the door to a no-man's place, and suddenly knelt down.
"The prince also saw what happened tonight, if the slave and maid found out early, Miao Miao would definitely lose her life! The slave and maid implore the prince to be in charge of the diet of the Youlan Courtyard from now on, and strengthen the guards!"
Seeing that her expression was extremely serious, Yang An said, "Then you blame the king for not being able to protect your master, and he is powerless to take care of it?"
"The slave maid didn't mean that," Cheng Jingjing raised her courage and said: "The prince is wise, he must know that there is a problem with this matter today, the slave and maid dare not say who did it, but it must be inseparable from the concubines in the palace." Your lordβ"
"Bold!" Yang An interrupted her sharply: "As a subordinate, how can you maliciously speculate about the master." The Dragon Princess just has some festivals with you, which doesn't mean that this matter has anything to do with her. You should learn what to say and what not to say. β
Cheng Jingjing was very angry when she heard this, and retorted: "The prince is really too partial, you obviously know that Miao Miao was killed by a traitor, but you don't find out the truth for her, and blame the slave and maid for talking too much, at least I won't act as if nothing has happened! As a man, the prince naturally doesn't like to get involved in the struggle between these women, but at least he must be fair and just to others!"
Yang An didn't expect a little maid to dare to contradict him like this, he was speechless for a while, coughed twice and said: "How to deal with this matter, this king has his own plans, you don't need to say more." Since you are so worried, and your health will be better in a few days, the two of you will go together to buy a few trustworthy maids and come back. β
"Thank you. Cheng Jingjing snorted lightly and stood up slowly, who knew that because she was too injured before, her body fell into Yang An's arms in a shake.
She panicked and wanted to dodge, but was unexpectedly encircled in the arms of the other party.
"Don't move," Yang An's scorching breath sprayed on Cheng Jingjing's ears, he seemed to be trying his best to endure something, and said in a dumb voice: "If you move again, this king will be unkind to you." β
Cheng Jingjing struggled in fear, but she didn't expect Yang An to hug her tighter and tighter, and her two arms tightly clamped her like iron tongs. Between the push and pull, she vaguely felt something down there pressing against her......
"You, did you take the wrong medicine?, what kind of spring did you send to my little girl?!" Cheng Jingjing stammered in fright.
Yang An smiled bitterly in his heart, he did take the wrong medicine, but it just so happened that the person in front of him was this girl, if he couldn't control himself, he was willing to be responsible for her......
"Ahh
With an exclamation, Cheng Jingjing was picked up by Yang An, and the other party ignored her resistance and walked quickly towards the room.
