Chapter 309: The Cause of Princess Dongping
June is here in the blink of an eye, and the Shen Mansion is getting busier and busier, Mrs. Shen is looking forward to Shen Ruohua marrying into the British Mansion to no longer be bullied, and she will not be looked down upon by the Fu family, but she is also carefully preparing for the marriage, the appearance of the clothes and jewelry has been carefully selected by herself, and the style of several sets of large items is the most fashionable one that Tiangongfang picked, which is much better than the one sent to the Marquis of Guangping before.

Shen Ruohua looked at the dowry boxes that kept moving into the mansion, and couldn't laugh or cry, and said to Mrs. Shen: "The previous ones from the Guangping Marquis Mansion moved back as they were, so it is better to send these to the past, and there is no need to spend money to buy them again." ”
Mrs. Shen shook her head again and again: "How can it be done, this is a happy thing to get an auspicious thing, how can I send those in the past." ”
She ordered Mama Xia to ask someone to count the newly made dowries and pack them up, and they would be carried to the British government in a while, but there could be no negligence. Shen Ruohua couldn't persuade her, so she had to let Mrs. Shen take care of it, and she had a rare chance to sit under the begonia tree in the yard and read a book.
It's just that before she turned two pages, a girl came in and bowed down: "Lady, the Dongping Wangfu sent someone to come, and then invited the lady to come to the house to see a doctor." ”
Shen Ruohua's face became solemn, for the Dongping Palace, she is now full of doubts, Zhou Qiyou can think of using Liang Wan'er to steal the Liang family's army map, there must be other plans, and then think about the palace change, the Zhou family father and son did not rush to the palace Qin Wang as soon as they got the news, but waited until the overall situation in the palace was decided, attacked King Kang's mansion, and took the life of King Kang's family, which is really suspicious, I am afraid that Dongping Wangfu also has a heart of disobedience!
She closed the book and didn't speak for a while, and the girl didn't dare to say more, so she could only keep her head down and wait for her command.
"Prepare a carriage for me, and I'll go and have a look." Shen Ruohua thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go to Dongping Palace, even if there was really anything, she couldn't act rashly now, so as not to startle the snake.
The Dongping Palace, which is also full of lights, and the wedding date of Zhou Qiyou and Yao Erniang will be shortly after, two days later than Shen Ruohua's, so the servants in and out of the Dongping Palace are busy preparing for the marriage.
When Shen Ruohua got out of the carriage, the previous grandmother greeted her with a smile and saluted: "There is Lord Shen to go again, originally Lord Shen was about to get married, and I didn't dare to disturb it, but the princess's illness is getting worse and worse, so I still have to invite Lord Shen to help take a look." ”
Shen Ruohua only knew what it meant to be more and more sick when she saw Princess Dongping, this time Princess Dongping was already lying on the couch and couldn't get up, her eyes were sunken, her face was scorched and thin, and she only opened her eyes slightly when she heard Mama's report, and looked at Shen Ruohua and nodded slightly: "Female Doctor Shen is here." ”
Shen Ruohua was very surprised, the last time she checked Princess Dongping's pulse, there was nothing abnormal in the pulse, how could she be so sick.
She went to the princess's couch and sat down, looked at the princess's haggard color, and said softly: "Didn't the princess invite other imperial doctors to come and take a look?" She remembered that the previous time the grandmother mentioned a Mr. Zeng several times, presumably he was also proficient in medical skills, and he must have extraordinary medical skills to be trusted by the Dongping Palace, so he was not invited to come and take a look?
The grandmother on the side said softly: "I haven't been invited, even Lord Shen can't diagnose the symptoms, and there is no way to come to other imperial doctors." But he never mentioned Mr. Zeng's affairs.
Shen Ruohua stretched out her hand to check the pulse of the princess again, but this time the pulse surprised her, the pulse that was originally stable was slow at this time, and it would only happen again when it stopped. How so? However, in just a few days, Princess Dongping's illness suddenly became so serious, and the cause of this illness is still not understood!
Shen Ruohua's face was very ugly, she didn't diagnose the princess's illness that time, she originally thought that it was not tight, but she was only occasionally uncomfortable, but she didn't expect it to develop so quickly, if she didn't come up with a way as soon as possible, she was afraid that Princess Dongping's illness would be difficult to treat.
It's just that Shen Ruohua still has no clue what the reason is. She asked the grandmother carefully, and checked Princess Dongping's food and utensils, but she still didn't find anything wrong. The rules of the Dongping palace are strict, and the servants are very tightly controlled, especially around the princess, except for her food, clothing, housing and transportation, except for a few of the most trusted grandmothers and girls who serve around her all the year round, others are inaccessible, and her food is something that someone has tried before it can be delivered, and there is no possibility of mistakes.
Princess Dongping has always been in good health, except for phlegm drinking, there are no other diseases, and it stands to reason that she will not suddenly become so sick for no reason. In this way, Shen Ruohua was even more puzzled, why did he have such a disease for no reason, and he was about to lose his life.
She sat on the edge of Princess Dongping's couch, frowning and thinking carefully, trying to find out the root cause of this disease, but she never had a clue. Just as she was thinking hard, a quiet floral fragrance wafted over, not the ordinary fragrance of peach pear and plum orchid, it was very special and fragrant, which made Shen Ruohua stunned, this fragrance was very familiar, as if she had smelled it somewhere, and she was very impressed.
She looked up and saw that there was a pot of flowers and trees like light purple and pink wind chimes by the window of the wing, with lush branches and leaves, and the flowers were bright and abnormal, which looked very beautiful, and the fragrance emanated from the pot of flowers. But when Shen Ruohua saw it, his face changed, and it took a while to ease his complexion, and he raised his hand to the flower and asked Mama: "This flower is blooming well, where did it come from?" ”
Where does Mama have the heart to chat with Shen Ruohua at this time, she just wants to be able to cure the princess's illness as soon as possible, but Mr. Zeng has never returned to Kyoto when he stayed in Bashu, and now he only expects Shen Ruohua to cure the princess, so he has to deal with a few words, and said patiently: "It was given to the prince and the princess by the queen mother some time ago, saying that it was a Western tribute of golden bellflowers, which is very rare, it is beautiful and smelly, and it is expensive, so it is placed in the princess's room." ”
Shen Ruohua slowly lowered his eyes and said lightly: "It's really a rare thing, it looks good and smells good." ”
She also only saw once, it was the Western envoy sent to the Ciming Palace, the Queen Mother saw it very much, and wanted people to put the flowers in the Ciming Palace, but was stopped by the Western envoys, and said that this flower can be used in medicine, and it is highly toxic, although I don't feel it on weekdays, I only feel that the fragrance of flowers is delicate and beautiful, but after a long time, the toxin will enter the body, and slowly die of heart failure. The Queen Mother hurriedly asked people to take the flowers out and send them to the corner of the imperial garden to be planted, so that no one would know. It's just that she didn't expect to see this pot of flowers rewarded by the Queen Mother in Princess Dongping.
Looking at the pot of golden bells, Shen Ruohua figured out why the cause of the disease could not be diagnosed at the beginning, probably because of this pot of flowers, it would take a long time to slowly show symptoms, but Princess Dongping originally had phlegm drinking and had been using decoction, so the time for poisoning became shorter and shorter, and the symptoms were quickly revealed.
However, in any case, it will not be so sick in such a short period of time, even if the bell flower is poisonous, it will not be so fast, there should be other reasons for this!
