After Han Ling carried the medicine box into Concubine Lu Jing's bedroom, the main hall was not quiet for long, and began to discuss.

Among this group of concubines with different looks, there was still an age when Shicai was at odds with Concubine Xiang, and she couldn't help but question: "Can this girl really make Sister Jingfei good?" I don't think she's old yet, right? I don't know where His Royal Highness King Jing got the folk medicine girl? Your Majesty, you can rest assured that she will go to the doctor, in case she really accidentally takes the life of Concubine Jing's sister......"

Another older concubine with a flying bun and eight golden hairpins on the top of her head continued: "Why is Sister Shang so anxious, no matter whether this girl can be smelting well or not, she has already made an oath in front of the emperor, if she is not completely sure, I don't think she will be so stupid to gamble with her life." ”

"Maybe if this girl came to the palace for another purpose, what does she care about her life? The concubines heard that there were many dead soldiers who were not afraid of death. ”

"Sister Shang's words are a little strange, do you mean, His Royal Highness King Jing will send dead soldiers to the palace to assassinate his biological mother?"

King Jing's face changed slightly.

Concubine Shang Shou's pretty face immediately turned pale, she didn't dare to look at King Jing, so she hurriedly turned to the emperor above, and blurted out: "Emperor Mingjian, the concubine didn't mean this, and the concubine was just worried about her sister's safety." ”

"I'm afraid that what Sister Shang is really worried about is that Sister Jing will find out who wants to harm her when she wakes up, right?"

The two of them quarreled to this point, and the emperor was already very impatient to interrupt: "Okay, what is the quarrel, are you still upset enough?" ”

The two concubines were so frightened that they all changed color, and they all bowed and said yes, and the main hall was immediately silent again, only Concubine Xiang looked up at the emperor with a small face with pear blossoms and rain, and her eyes were extremely painful.

It's noon now, and the midsummer sun is particularly blazing, if Ah Xuan kneels for two hours on such a day, he will definitely not be able to stand it.

"Your Majesty, if that girl really woke up Sister Concubine Jing and asked the emperor to forgive Lingxi, okay?" She was stubbornly willing to plead, and her expression looked sad and pitiful.

The emperor was almost soft-hearted, but Concubine Shang Shou still continued in a cold voice: "One yard is one yard, even if that girl can smelt Sister Jingfei, it is none of your business, Sister Xiangfei, why do you have to follow and rob the merits of others, sister?" ”

Concubine Xiang's face also changed sharply, and her eyes turned to Concubine Shangshou with a hint of secret hatred, this is the emperor's new favorite woman, who was just a palace maid on duty in the West Garden, but when she occasionally collected the dew on the flowers, she met the emperor who was playing in the garden, and she didn't know what means this palace maid used, but she quickly got the emperor's favor, although the emperor did not snub her now, but always asked this palace maid to sleep with her and enjoy the blessings of all people.

The emperor was naturally happy, but her life was not so easy, and she felt the resistance to do many things, and this woman's eyes were still sneering and sharp, like two sharp knives, always looking for an opportunity to pierce her, and today this incident happened in the imperial garden, she grabbed the handle, and she fought with her vigorously.

What else did Concubine Xiang have to say, the emperor had already opened his mouth and instructed King Jing: "Chengyun, that girl was brought by you, go and see, how is she doing to your mother's concubine?" ”

After King Jing said yes, he also glanced at Concubine Shang Shou, and then strode into Concubine Lu Jing's bedroom, and saw that Han Ling was seriously inserting a very thin silver needle under the nose of his mother.

Concubine Lu Jing's eyes were closed, and she didn't move at all, and it seemed that she was about to wake up.

King Jing asked a little anxiously: "How is my mother now?" Are you sure you can do it? ”

Han Ling didn't look at him, but continued to concentrate on piercing one silver needle after another on Concubine Lu Jing's Lingtai acupoint and the soles of her feet, and after the last silver needle fell, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to King Jing.

"His Royal Highness King Jing can go out with me now, and in a quarter of an hour, your mother will wake up, but before that, I have to negotiate terms with your father." She said.

Seeing that her eyes were firm and cold, King Jing asked with a little worry in his heart: "What conditions do you want to negotiate with my father?" ”

Han Ling glanced at him and smiled softly.

"You won't know when you come out!" With that, she took the lead in taking the lead, lifted the green flower curtain, and walked outside.

King Jing was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Concubine Lu Jing, who was still lying on the bed, and followed him out of the dormitory to the main hall.

Almost as soon as Han Ling came out, the eyes of everyone in the hall focused on her face again, as if they wanted to find something from her face.

And Han Ling's expression was very calm and indifferent, she walked in front of the emperor and knelt down on her knees.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jing's fainting this time was not because she was frightened at all, but because she was poisoned!"

Han Ling's voice was crisp and clear, and his words suddenly caused an uproar in the hall, and everyone's faces showed a complex and changeable wonderful color.

King Jing's expression changed in surprise, and the emperor squinted his eyes even more, and asked incredulously, "Poisoned?" ”

Han Ling nodded and continued: "Yes, it is a pollen poison called the blood cuckoo, there is this kind of pollen left on Concubine Jing's hair and clothes, originally this pollen poison will not cause fainting if inhaled in a small amount, but if you inhale a little bit every day, people will easily have mental paralysis and faint!" ”

"The emperor might as well ask, the other ladies or palace maids who visited the imperial garden with Concubine Jing Niangniang today, can Concubine Jing Niangniang show signs of paleness, chest tightness and shortness of breath on the way to the tour?"

As soon as Han Ling finished speaking, Concubine Xiang continued: "Your Majesty, this girl is right, the concubine and Concubine Jing's sister enjoyed playing together, she had mentioned to the concubine many times that her chest was hot and dry, and she was a little out of breath!" ”

"How can you believe what you say, so many of our sisters haven't seen it, but you have seen it?" Concubine Shang Shou said coldly.

After that, she turned to Han Ling again and sneered, "Why do you say that Sister Jing is poisoned by pollen, so we should believe you?" What if it's your nonsense? ”

"Then dare to ask this lady, do you know medicine?" Han Ling also looked at the charming concubine and asked coldly.

Concubine Shang Shou actually said confidently: "The concubine naturally doesn't know medicine, but there are also people here who understand medicine, Imperial Doctor Jiang, tell me about it, have you ever heard of a flower called blood azalea, and the pollen of this flower is still poisonous?" ”

Imperial Physician Jiang lowered his head, his expression was complex and changeable, he hesitated for a long time, and finally under the urging of the emperor, he raised his head and replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen has studied medicine for many years, and I really haven't heard of this kind of pollen poison called blood rhododendron. ”

When Concubine Shang Shou heard this, a gloomy smile appeared on her face, and she laughed with great joy.

"Little girl, Imperial Doctor Jiang is not confused, he has been practicing medicine for many years, he has much more experience than you, even he has never seen or heard of things, where did you know about it? I think you can't cure Concubine Jing's sister's illness, so you want to say that she was poisoned, right? ”

Han Ling snorted even more coldly, disdainful of arguing with this woman anymore, so he turned to the emperor again and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, it is very simple to prove whether what the people said is true, as long as the emperor orders someone to move the blood cuckoo flower in this palace, and then ask someone to try whether this flower will cause chest tightness and shortness of breath!" ”

"And the person who harmed Concubine Jing Niangniang in this way should be in this Yaohua Palace at the moment, she can hide the pollen in Concubine Jing's hair and clothes, so this person often touches this pollen, and there will be more or less this kind of pollen left in his nails, and the color of his nails will gradually become black, and the people implore the emperor to order someone to carefully check the hands of all the palace maids and eunuchs in this palace to see whose nails are different from everyone else?"

As soon as Han Ling finished speaking, the voices of many people in the palace fell silent, and King Jing was even more angry in his heart, and also pleaded to the emperor: "Father, the mother concubine is only worthy of this life worry if she is calculated, and the son begs the father to investigate this matter thoroughly and find out the hidden spies in this palace!" ”

After the emperor paused for a while, he finally raised his right hand and spit out a word heavily: "Check!" ”

After a while, all the palace maids in the Yaohua Palace lined up, and the two eunuchs carefully examined their fingernails one by one, and Han Ling and King Jing also swept their eyes on the faces of these palace maids one by one.

Almost every palace maid lowered their eyebrows and waited for orders and inspections, but just when the two eunuchs checked half of the number, one of the palace maids suddenly shouted: "The slave maid heard Concubine Jing's voice, it seems that the maid is awake and is calling the slave maid, and the slave maid will go to the dormitory to serve the maid and change her clothes!" ”

With that, the palace maid lifted her skirt and rushed towards Concubine Lu Jing's bedroom, but at this moment, Han Ling suddenly dodged over and stopped in front of her.

"Are you responsible for Concubine Jing's usual diet and daily life?" Han Ling asked.

The palace maid pursed her lips and said: "Yes, but it is not only the slave and maid who are responsible for the mother's diet and daily life, but the slave and maid are only responsible for dressing and changing the mother!" ”

After hearing this, Han Ling nodded knowingly.

"But you are very honest, and you have admitted it, so tell me who instructed you to do these things?" She asked coldly.

The palace maid's face turned pale, and she shouted sharply, "What did you say? When did I admit to poisoning Concubine Jing? ”

As soon as the palace maid's voice fell, another voice in the hall soon sneered.

"Just now, you said that you poisoned Concubine Jing, but this female doctor didn't say that you poisoned Concubine Jing, Caidie, didn't you say that you didn't confess?"

"Yes! Butterfly, don't you stretch out your hands and let everyone see, are your fingernails different? ”

Under the urging of everyone, the palace maid named Caidie seemed to understand that she would not be able to hide it in the end, so she twisted her face and grabbed Han Ling's face with her teeth and claws, Han Ling immediately dodged, and the palace maid fell to the ground with a stumble.

The two eunuchs hurried over, lifted the palace maid, and dragged her to the emperor.

Under the emperor's extremely cold gaze, the palace maid was raised by the eunuch with her face broken.

"You sprinkled the pollen of the blood cuckoo on Concubine Jing's clothes and hair? Who taught you to do that? The emperor asked coldly.

The palace maid lowered her eyelashes, and her eyes seemed to glance to one side, but she was speechless for a long time, and when one of the eunuchs pulled her hair and asked, the palace maid's face suddenly turned blue, and she actually fainted with both eyes!

The two eunuchs were so frightened that they quickly let go of their hands and shouted, "Your Majesty, she is dead!" ”

King Jing hurriedly walked in front of the palace maid, but when he saw the black blood overflowing from the corner of the palace maid's lips, his eyes were dissipated, and he knew that the palace maid had already lost her breath.

When Han Ling saw it, he also sighed: "She committed suicide by taking poison, it seems that she has already hidden between her teeth and is ready!" ”

Concubine Shang Shou on the side couldn't help but show a sneer. The emperor also sighed a little helplessly and impatiently: "Forget it, carry it down!" ”

The two eunuchs should be, and immediately threw the newly dead palace maid out like garbage!

At this moment, there was a painful cry in the palace, and the emperor motioned to a palace maid to look at it with his eyes, and after the palace maid entered the palace, she only glanced at it, and immediately shouted with joy.

"Concubine Jing is awake! Concubine Jing finally woke up! ”

This sentence suddenly swept away the tension and haze in the palace, Concubine Xiang's face also became a little overjoyed, and several concubines followed the emperor into Concubine Lu Jing's bedroom curiously, at this time, Han Ling had pulled out all the silver needles on Concubine Lu Jing's body.

Concubine Lu Jing opened her misty eyes and glanced at the people around her curiously.

When she saw the emperor, Concubine Lu Jing's face suddenly flashed with joy, and she quickly got up and wanted to sit up, saying, "What's wrong today?" Why are so many people here? The emperor is also here! ”

"Mother, your body is just better, let's lie down and rest for a while!" King Jing hurriedly stopped.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Lu Jing, and also nodded: "Chengyun is filial piety and pure, he is right, you will take care of your body well, you don't have to get up and salute!" ”

After the emperor's words, several concubines led by Concubine Du Kang also went to Concubine Lu Jing's bed and said "self-conscious words".

Han Ling felt that this matter was almost solved, as long as Concubine Lu Jing woke up, she could negotiate terms with the emperor, as for the open and secret battles between the concubines in the harem, she didn't want to care so much, and she was very disgusted, so she quietly withdrew from Concubine Lu Jing's bedroom and came to Concubine Xiang, who was still kneeling on the ground in the main hall.

"Aunt Qingluo, I'm Ah Jiu!" She whispered in Jiang Ling's ear, and then wrote on the palm of her hand, "Ah Jiu wants to take you and your mother out, after a while, please ask your aunt to cooperate with Ah Jiu, is it okay?" ”

Jiang Ling's face immediately flashed with stunned shock, and a pair of eyes that seemed to contain blue spring autumn water looked at Han Ling in a daze for a long time, until the emperor also walked out of Concubine Lu Jing's bedroom, at this time, Han Ling had stepped aside, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty!" ”

"The little girl's medical skills are good, but I am very curious, you are young, where did you learn your medical skills, and what is your name?"

The emperor stood in front of a pear blossom wooden chair carved with dragons and phoenixes, and while sitting, he looked at Han Ling curiously, and asked suspiciously.

Han Ling immediately knelt down and replied crisply: "The people's daughter doesn't dare to bully the king, the people's daughter's name is Yang Ling, she has been studying medicine since she was seven years old, and she has been instructed by a master, and what she has learned is the medical skills of the Nangong family!" ”

I don't know if it was Han Ling's illusion, when she said the words Nangong family, the emperor's face sank slightly.

"Got someone to advise? Is this master you are talking about from the Nangong family? The Emperor asked.

Han Ling shook his head and replied, "The Minnu doesn't know, the master didn't tell the Minnu his name and true identity, he only gave the Minnu a few medical books to teach the Minnu to distinguish herbal medicine. ”

"And where is this master now?" The Emperor asked again.

Han Ling replied: "Back to the emperor, this master likes to wander around, if he doesn't come to find the people's daughter, the people's girl doesn't know where he is now?" ”

"Bold! Are you fooling me with such words? The emperor suddenly shouted, and his solemn face was full of anger.

King Jing was startled, and when he was about to distinguish Han Ling, he heard Han Ling answer in a very steady voice: "The people's girl is true, don't dare to bully the king!" Your Majesty, you just said that as long as the people's daughter wakes up Concubine Jing's mother, the emperor will give the people's daughter a reward, may I ask if the emperor's words still count? ”

"My words naturally count, what do you want? Gold taels or pearls, jade, silk and satin? ”

Before the emperor's words were finished, Han Ling interrupted: "These folk girls don't want them, the folk girls only ask the emperor to pardon Concubine Xiang and the palace maid beside her!" ”

"In addition, the people's daughter begs the emperor for permission, and Concubine Xu Xiang will return to Ning to visit relatives!"

As soon as the two sentences came out, there was an uproar in the hall again, and the emperor's face sank even more, but Concubine Shang Shou's face showed a touch of pride in watching the show.

"You don't ask for gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, but you want to intercede for Concubine Xiang and the palace maids around her, why is this?" The emperor asked suspiciously, and immediately remembered, "You just said that your name is Yang Ling?" Is it the daughter that Mrs. Yang brought back to the Yang family after she reconciled with Guangning Bo Han Mo? ”

Han Ling nodded and replied: "It is the people's daughter, although the people's daughter has left the Guangning Bo Mansion, but some people's kindness, the people's daughter will not forget, before the Xiangfei Niangniang entered the palace, she was the aunt of the people's daughter, in the entire Guangning Bo Mansion, only this aunt treats the people's daughter and mother well, the aunt has not returned to Ning for seven years after entering the palace, and now it is the Duanyang Festival is approaching, so the people's daughter asks the emperor to allow the Xiangfei Niangniang to return to Ning!" ”

"Joke, what does Concubine Xiangniang's relationship with whether she returns to Ning or not?" Concubine Shangshou's sneering voice sounded again.

Han Ling was really angry when he heard this, and turned to her and asked sharply, "This is what the emperor promised the people's daughter, what does it have to do with you?" Could it be that this lady thinks that the emperor is not wise enough and wants to make decisions for the emperor? ”

"You-" Concubine Shang Shou's face turned white and red for a while, and she finally had nothing to say.

Han Ling turned to the emperor again and said: "The emperor is a man of his word, and the emperor can agree to this little request of the people's daughter!" ”

The emperor pondered for a long time, and finally beckoned to a eunuch and ordered: "Go, let Lingxi in, since this female healer's request, I will forgive the sins of their master and servant!" (To be continued.) )
