Thinking of this, Wang Qing couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, secretly glad that he could get out.

The little palace maid who had been assigned by Ah Zi before hurriedly ran back, holding a porcelain bowl and a paper bag in her hand like an offering to a bodhisattva.

Because she was in a hurry to bring the porridge bowl back, the little palace maid didn't notice Wang Qing, who was silently standing aside thinking about her thoughts, and bumped into the other party, Wang Qing hissed in her mouth, grabbed the little palace maid's arm and pulled her back.

"Don't you have eyes? Reckless, there is no one who serves in the palace at all! ”

said it on his lips, but he thought in his heart that when this matter passed, the people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also be rectified, and some people who had no vision and saw that they were not reliable were sent away early, so as not to make such a mess this time in the future.

This time, it was a fluke to bump into a scapegoat like Xin Zi who came to the door, if there is a next time, I am afraid that it will not be so easy for me to get out.

The little palace maid was reprimanded by Wang Qing, and then she trembled and wanted to kneel down and salute, Wang Qing waved her hand impatiently and said, "Don't go in quickly, Miss Xin is waiting, how can you have time to rub here." ”

When the little palace maid rushed into the inner room, she saw that the prince had been untied from his wide clothes, and Ah Zi was kneeling at the head of the bed to massage his body and neck.

The little palace maid had just entered the palace, but at the age of eleven or twelve, when she saw the scene in front of her, she blushed and stood in place, neither retreating nor entering.

Ah Zi acted as if his subordinates were busy with needlework in the hands of ordinary women, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all

I have been practicing medicine with Master for many years, if you want to taboo men and women, you should guard against those. Then she must have stopped her path of studying medicine early, and now in her eyes, all patients are the same, there is no difference between men and women, and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority.

So when she saw the little palace maid coming, she only smiled faintly at the other party, and instructed one of the guards who helped her to continue to carry the prince's body and maintain a sitting posture.

"Be sure to ensure that the air intake is unobstructed, and you must not flatten your body."

After repeated instructions, he turned around and took the porcelain bowl and paper bag in the hands of the little palace maid. First, I leaned closer to the mouth of the bowl and sniffed it. He went deep out of his tongue and licked the remaining porridge water on the wall of the bowl.

The little palace maid thought that this was the food that almost killed the prince, and when she saw that Ah Zi actually went to taste the porridge herself, she was so shocked that her face turned white, and she stretched out her hand as if she stepped forward to stop it. saw that Ah Zi just smiled and shook his head at her. Show yourself to know the measure.

"In this paper bag is the soybean flour that Wang Chuanchao asked you to add to the porridge?"

The little palace maid nodded. Ah Zi opened the paper bag, dipped her fingers in some powder, put it in her mouth and tasted it.

The powder melted on the tip of her tongue, and Ah Zi frowned—as expected.

"There is nothing wrong with the porridge itself, but this is in a paper bag. It's not soybean flour at all, it's a powder of broad beans, and it's faked with yellow colorants and powdered sugar. ”

"Fava beans?"

The little palace maid was at a loss when she heard this, but when she understood what was going on, she was already so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, covering her mouth and unable to speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Ah Zi said bluntly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have had symptoms of broad bean allergy since he was a child, right?" Those of you who serve in close quarters should have been repeatedly told that no fava beans should be used in your food before you were assigned. ”

The little palace maid was so shocked at the moment that she even forgot to cry, and only looked ahead with a dull gaze.

She felt like she couldn't live today.

The broad bean flour was sprinkled into the porridge of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he had just been transferred to the Prince's bedroom for less than three days. If you say that you don't know in advance that the soybean flour is actually made of broad beans, you are just being plotted by others, but I am afraid that no one will believe it.

And now, among the people serving in this temple, there is not even a person who is familiar to him, and no one will be willing to say a word of justice for himself, but I am afraid that everyone will think that they have made a big mistake by their own negligence......

Thinking of this, Dou Da's tears slipped down her face, and she wanted to cry loudly, but she only felt that her throat was dry and she couldn't make a sound at all.

At this time, Ah Zi's voice came into her ears little by little.

"Don't be afraid, I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, and you were also framed by Wang Chuanchao. We will do our best to save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, and as for the investigation after that, you just have to return what you just said to me, and you will definitely be fine. ”

Hearing this, the little palace maid looked up at Ah Zi and saw that she was nodding at herself, her smile looked so kind, like a ray of sunlight shining into the ice cave in winter, melting the chill in her heart little by little.

She didn't know what the origin of the Xin Zi girl in front of her was, and she was only sure if she could really keep herself when the emperor or the empress dowager blamed her afterwards, but when she looked at Xin Zi's gaze, she felt inexplicably relieved, and the blood on her face recovered little by little.

The little palace maid nodded, and could only bet her life on Ah Zi.

A few guards who had gone out before rushed back one after another and brought back all kinds of things that Ah Zi wanted.

After Ah Zi counted, he instructed the little palace maid to help him adjust the salt water. "You can have as much as you want." Ah Zi commanded like this, the little palace maid didn't know why, but her subordinates were unambiguous, and after a while, they prepared a bucket full of salt water.

"Knock open the mouth of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and pour as much salt water into it as possible."

Ah Zi said, and the guards standing on the side all showed an unbelievable look, thinking that they had misheard the order, but looking at Ah Zi's calm expression, they could only reluctantly step forward and do so.

On the other side, Ah Zi roasted the prepared silver needles on the fire, and after it was cool, he pierced the prince's ten fingers, and ordered people to keep squeezing the ten fingers to let the blood flow out little by little.

Time passed little by little, the room was filled with the smell of charcoal fire, mixed with the smell of sweat, and everyone was busy with their work according to Ah Zi's instructions, but their attention was all focused on the prince's face.

The prince lay there as before, with his face pale, his eyes closed and motionless.

"Does this really work?"

Wang Qing, who had been standing aside and watching coldly, finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward and asked softly in Ah Zi's ear.

Ah Zi looked at the prince and saw that the two black clouds under his eyes had faded, but he didn't wake up. I don't know how many bowls of salt water have been poured into it, and the bleeding of the ten fingers has not stopped......

She frowned, trying to think of any other way to work faster, her eyes swept over the prince's slender ten fingers, the fingertips were already bruised from over-pinching, and the blood flowing out was getting less and less......

Ah Zi settled down and decided to make a risky move. (To be continued.) )
