Chapter 70 Yan zhòng

After the emperor heard about Zhong Su's poisoning, he was furious, and immediately ordered Chang Gonggong to investigate thoroughly, and sent the best doctors from the Tai Hospital to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to treat Zhong Su. In the emperor's opinion, it is one thing for him to have an attitude towards Zhong Su, and it is another thing for others to harm Zhong Su under his nose, if he doesn't find out the result, where is his majesty?

And Chang Gonggong, who took this errand, was also very worried, the banquet was over, so where should he start to investigate? And which one of these palaces is not a nobleman? Even if he is the person around the emperor, he doesn't dare to offend those people he can't afford to offend at all.

After the imperial doctor rushed to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei overnight, he began to take turns to check Zhong Su's pulse, and after communicating with Imperial Doctor Wang's condition, they discussed a pharmacy together. Zhenbei Hou naturally let people arrest him immediately, but after boiling it into a decoction, it has been replaced and has become a medicine prescribed by Zunchen.

This toss was tossed until midnight, Zhenbei Hou is old, even if he is in good health, he can't stand staying up like this, Ran Ning wiped his face with a hot towel for Zhong Su, and said to Zhenbei Hou: "Grandfather, you go back and rest first, here is the master and me, no problem." It's not early, your body is important, don't be fair, you're tired. ”

Zhenbei Hou sighed and left, walked to the side of the bed and looked at Zhong Su, who was still in a coma, his grandson is really good for everything, but it is difficult for him to feel distressed.

"Well, then I'll go back and lie down for a while, if there's anything wrong with Su'er, someone will call me immediately." Zhenbei Hou said.

"Yes, grandfather, don't worry." Ran Ning responded and said to Xiao Wu: "Send my grandfather back." ”

"Yes." Xiao Wu bowed and followed Zhenbeihou's side.

Zhenbei Hou glanced at Zhong Su again before leaving.

Tan's eyes were red, but he didn't cry, and he was very strong. has been sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Zhong Su with a distressed face, expecting him to wake up soon. Ran Ning didn't know how to persuade her to rest, so she had to look at General Zhong.

General Zhong also sighed, got up and walked to Tan's side, and said, "With Zunchen here, Su'er will be fine." Don't stay up here, if Zhong Su wakes up and sees you working hard for him, he will definitely feel uncomfortable. If you're really worried, go to the next room and rest and you'll know what's going on. I'm with you. ”

Tan touched Zhong Su's face and said, "My Su'er has a hard life, since he entered the palace as an official, he has been suffering from internal and external injuries, and now that he is like this, how can I rest at ease?" "She's probably not going to be able to sleep.

General Zhong understood Tan's mood very well, and he felt sorry that Zhong Su was no less than Tan's, so he stopped persuading, and only said: "If you are tired, go and lie down on the couch for a while, Su'er doesn't seem to be able to wake up for a while." ”

"yes, I know." Tan's eyes are now full of Zhong Su, for fear of missing the moment Zhong Su woke up.

Ran Ning couldn't persuade anymore, Tan's worry about Zhong Su was no less than her, she didn't fall asleep, she just wanted to wait for Zhong Su to wake up, let alone Tan.

I asked Bizhu to prepare some refreshing tea, and added some charcoal to make the house warmer. Zhong Su's body was very cold in a coma, Ran Ning was afraid that he would freeze, so she added a quilt to him, so she sat down next to Tan and waited for Zhong Su to wake up.

The Imperial Doctor has been arranged to the guest room, and he will only come back tomorrow morning to check the pulse and see if there is any improvement.

When it was almost dawn, Tan finally couldn't stay up anymore and fell asleep on the side of the bed. General Zhong was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he carried her to the next door.

"Young lady, you can sleep for a while." Bizhu saw that her eyes were red, and she was really worried. The young lady of her family seemed to be very calm, but Bizhu had followed her for so many years, so she naturally knew that Ran Ning was very panicked, otherwise it would be impossible to keep guarding without clothes.

"I'm fine, you can go to the small kitchen and make some ginseng soup." The lack of sleep made her body temperature a little unbalanced, and she felt a little cold from time to time, so she wanted to drink some hot warmth.

Bizhu is still very worried, Ran Ning has not stayed up all night since she gave the old Wan Pingbo a wake.

"I know in my heart that if he doesn't wake up, I won't be able to sleep soundly. Instead of having nightmares, wait for him to wake up. "Ran Ning is not mentally sleepy at all except for being a little tired now.

Bizhu nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned around to boil ginseng soup. She estimated that Ran Ning didn't have much appetite now, and was going to make some light porridge for Ran Ning to eat, so that it could be digested and ironed for the stomach.

Not long after Bizhu left, Zhong Su's eyes trembled a few times, and Ran Ning immediately held his hand and whispered, "Xianggong, Xianggong......"

Zhong Su slowly opened his eyes, and after seeing Ran Ning beside the bed, he shook Ran Ning's hand back, but his face was still not good-looking, and he didn't have much strength on his body.

"It's good that you're awake, and the family is worried about it. Master said that you were poisoned, and you will have to wait for Master to come before you can completely detoxify you. Didn't you go to the palace for a feast? How could it be poisoned? Ran Ning made a long story short and told Zhong Su about the situation. She could see that Zhong Su still had no energy and needed to rest, so she didn't mention the stubble of the emperor and the imperial doctor.

"Haven't slept all night?" Zhong Su's voice was very hoarse, not as good as usual, but Ran Ning didn't mind at all.

"I'm worried about you. Mother also kept watch over you all night, just went to sleep. Ran Ning fed him a little water, and then asked, "Do you have any suspicions about the poisoning?" ”

Zhong Su's voice was not loud, but the words were clear, "The poison is in the wine, and I felt something wrong when I smelled the smell." But because my body is resistant to poison, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just ordinary poison. If I take this opportunity to be poisoned, firstly, it will not arouse suspicion, after all, the person who poisoned it must know it, and secondly, I can also use this to cultivate at home, and the emperor will not let me go to Nanyan for the idea. It's just that I didn't expect this poisonous domineering to be beyond my scope of resistance, it's me who overestimated myself and made you worry. ”

"Master said that this poison may not be owned by Beixin, and you must wait for the master to come to completely detoxify, and now Master can only control your toxicity and prevent it from eroding your five organs." Ran Ning said.

"Well, I know ......" Before Zhong Su could finish his words, blood broke out from his mouth again, because he didn't have the strength to get up, so the blood gushed out of his mouth.

"Xianggong!" Ran Ning's heart, which was originally slightly relieved, immediately lifted up again, and rushed outside and shouted, "Come on!" Call Master Zunchen to come over, quick! ”

Xiao Wu outside the door heard the movement, didn't bother to ask, and rushed directly into Zunchen's room. Zunchen also rested in Qingfeng Temple last night, and he came quickly.

As soon as Zunchen entered the door, he saw that Zhong was vomiting blood incessantly, and Ran Ning helped him wipe his handkerchief so red that even his sleeves were stained a lot.

"Master, come and see Xianggong." Ran Ning was so anxious, for the first time, she felt that she couldn't help Zhong Su at all, she could only watch him suffer alone, and tears just fell.

Zunchen picked up Zhong Su and used his internal force to protect his heart. At this time, Xiao Wu also ran in with Zunchen's medicine box, and Zunchen immediately ordered him to take the silver needles and a few medicine bottles in the box.

Ran Ning couldn't help, so she could only watch from the sidelines, tears blurred her eyes again and again, falling silently. It's not that she doesn't want to calm down, but in the current situation, she can't calm down at all. Even when Zhong Su was crazy, she had never been so afraid, after all, Zhong Su was at least alive at that time, not as if he was about to vomit all the blood on his body and leave her like now......

After Zunchen took the silver needle, he first sealed several big points on Zhong Su's body, then took off Zhong Su's clothes and pierced the silver needle into his body, and in a blink of an eye, Zhong Su had already been pierced with more than 20 needles. Gradually, Zhong Su stopped vomiting blood, and the person passed unconscious. Zunchen uncorked a few more bottles, poured out a few medicines, and fed Zhong Su in one go, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, General Zhong, who sent the Tan family to rest, and Zhenbei Hou, who had already rested, also entered the door, and they were also startled when they saw the situation in the house, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing that Zhong Su seemed to have eased up, Ran Ning seemed to have regained his soul, wiped his tears and told them what Zhong Su said after waking up, and vomiting blood again.

"Su'er is really careless!" General Zhong understood Zhong Su's position, but this did not mean that he was willing to watch Zhong Su suffer.

Zunchen helped Zhong Su lie down and said, "It's not that Su'er is careless, even I didn't expect this poison to be overbearing like this." I have already contacted Senior Brother overnight last night, he should be there in three days, and when he comes, Zhong Su will be fine. ”

Zhenbei Hou looked at Zhong Su's situation and said, "It's not that Su'er is careless, it's the people in the palace who forced him to this job." Although our Zhong family is in a high position, we do not take the initiative to make enemies with others, but this does not mean that we have to watch others come to harm Su'er. It's time for our Zhenbei Hou Mansion to attack, and there are some things that can't wait, and we can't wait. ”

Pushing the six princes to the throne has always been the goal of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but they have never done it as obviously as the eldest prince and the third prince, because of their daughter, the Zhenbei Hou will still take care of the relationship between the emperor and the virtuous concubine, and do not want to do too much, hoping that the emperor can finally voluntarily pass the throne to the six princes. But now it seems that not only the emperor may be afraid of Zhong Su, but even those princes and concubines are afraid that they are eager to kill Zhong Su and break the arms of the six princes, how can the Marquis of Zhenbei bear it? Zhenbei Hou, the person who poisoned the palace banquet, felt that it would not be the emperor, and the emperor would not be so reckless, but no matter who was found, I am afraid it would be a matter that affected the whole body, and their Zhenbei Hou Mansion was not afraid of this hair, but they also had to be prepared to suppress the mud that was brought up around those radish!

Zhong Su fell back into a coma, and Ran Ning didn't know when he would wake up, so he could only accompany him like this and wait for him. The Tan family was still sleeping, and Zhenbei Hou and General Zhong had something to arrange, so they went to the study temporarily, and only Ran Ning was left in the house. Breakfast was at hand, but Ran Ning didn't have much appetite, and only drank a few sips of ginseng soup.

"Young lady, the little prince is here." Bizhu entered the doorway.

"Let him in." Ran Ning said. Zhong Su is injured, I'm afraid Chu Yan is also uneasy in his heart.

"Sister." Chu Yan called Ran Ning after entering the door.

Ran Ning smiled at him and beckoned to him.

Chu Yan walked over, glanced at Zhong Su who was lying on the bed, lowered his voice and asked, "Is my brother-in-law okay?" ”

Ran Ning didn't know what to do, so she had to pat Chu Yan's hand and say, "It'll be fine." ”

Chu Yan pursed his lips, and there was some sadness in his eyes, "Brother-in-law is like this, but I can't help much, it's useless." ”

Ran Ning touched Chu Yan's hair and comforted: "You are much more useful than me." ”

Chu Yan looked at Ran Ning puzzled.

"Because I want to take you as an apprentice, the master and uncle decided to come back, and the next few days will come, and the prince will be safe by then. If it weren't for you, Uncle Shi wouldn't know where to go, and he would definitely not have come here so quickly, that would be the worst. Whether intentionally or not, at least you can get your master back. And I could only watch him lying here, helpless. Ran Ning knew that when the master came, it would be fine, but she still couldn't help but worry, after all, it was Zhong Su who was lying here.

"Sister, don't say that, you are here with your brother-in-law, your brother-in-law must know." After listening to Ran Ning's words, Chu Yan felt a little better in his heart.

"Hmm." Ran Ning smiled slightly, if her company could make Zhong Su feel better, she would rather stay awake until Zhong Su woke up.

Chu Yan stayed in the house for a short time, and Bizhu came to report again, saying that the six princes and the fifth princess were here.

Zhong Su's matter must not be hidden, and he didn't want to hide it at all, it is inevitable that the virtuous concubine will know, the virtuous concubine can't leave the palace, she can only let a pair of children come to visit.

Ran Ning also officially met the six princes for the first time, the six princes looked like virtuous concubines, looking gentle as jade, but the sharpness and shrewdness in their eyes were no less than anyone else's, and that kind of friendly and friendly smile also came from the bottom of the eyes, so Ran Ning's impression of him was not bad. On the contrary, if the sixth prince is an ignorant person, she will have a headache.

"You haven't slept all the time?" Di Yan couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw the bloodshot in Ran Ning's eyes.

"How can I sleep like this?" Before she was really sure that Zhong Su was fine, Ran Ning felt that she couldn't sleep at all.

"You can't do that." Di Yan didn't know how to persuade her, she was also anxious, otherwise she wouldn't have begged the queen to let her out of the palace early in the morning.

"I'm fine." Ran Ning smiled slightly.

Di Yan was also helpless, thinking that after returning to the palace, someone would ask her to send more supplements.

The sixth prince, Di Yao, carefully inquired about the specific situation, and Ran Ning also answered them one by one. It wasn't until the doctors came to consult them that they temporarily retreated to the other side of the room. Then the six princes were called over by the Marquis of Zhenbei, General Zhong listened to the conclusions of the imperial doctors in the house, and Ran Ning greeted Di Yan in the warm pavilion.

Di Yan had already noticed Chu Yan beside Ran Ning, but she didn't have time to ask, and now she was so easy to relax a little, so she asked, "Who is this little boy?" ”

Chu Yan didn't let Ran Ning introduce him, he hugged his little fist and said: "My name is Chu Yan, I am a distant cousin of Uncle Zunchen, and I came to Zhenbei Hou Mansion to celebrate the New Year together." Dare to ask who this sister is? ”

This is the identity that Zhong Su made up for Chu Yan, after all, Chu Yan's identity is sensitive, and it is his private agreement with Chu Chuan, so naturally the fewer people know, the better. Zunchen has always been mysterious, even if there is a relative, there is nowhere to find it.

Di Yan is a child who likes it, and when she saw Chu Yan, she also liked it, so she smiled and said, "My name is Di Yan." ”

Chu Yan knew that "Di" was Beixin's national surname, but he didn't say anything, and called out like a naïve child: "Sister Yan." ”

"Hmm." Di Yan pinched his little face, and the smile in his eyes was very strong.

"My sister has the word 'Yan', and I have the word 'Yan', which feels very fateful." Chu Yan smiled.

"Yes." Di Yan nodded, "So I'm glad you called me sister." ”

Chu Yan smiled shyly, and was honestly pulled by Di Yan to sit down beside him.

Ran Ning smiled lightly: "Yan'er is not in good health, so follow the master to adjust her body." Xianggong and I also hope that he can get as good as possible. ”

Looking at Chu Yan's thin appearance, Di Yan knew that this child's body and bones were probably not very good.

"I have a lot of things to replenish qi and blood, I'll have someone send them to you when I go back, and you and Chu Yan will make up for it." For the people of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Di Yan has always been not stingy.

"Then you're welcome." Ran Ning responded with a smile, she didn't care about herself, it was mainly for Chu Yan, the things in the palace were naturally better than those in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

"Thank you, sister." Chu Yan thanked Di Yan.

"You're welcome." Di Yan touched his hair, and sighed in her heart that she had not seen such a simple child for many years.

While the three of them were chatting, Bizhu hurriedly walked in, and after saluting Di Yan, he walked to Ran Ning's side, lowered his voice and said, "Young lady, someone from Wanpingbo's Mansion came to report that the eldest girl had a miscarriage." ”
