Chapter 119: The Empress is poisoned
[I came back late today. It's still three or four hundred words, and it takes about half an hour to replace. In the past few days, I have been helping to act as a temporary singer in a friend's newly opened bar, so I came back late at night, and the update was not very stable. After a few days, my friends will find a good singer by themselves, and I will be liberated. Let's take care of it a little more these days. I'm sorry. 】
Only three days later, Fang Xiaoyu received a carrier pigeon from afar, the carrier pigeon was sent by Fang Jianzhang, but there was no text on the carrier pigeon, just a blank piece of paper.
Fang Xiaoyu spread out the paper, sprinkled some powder on the top of the paper, then brushed the powder off, and then put it in the water, and the handwriting began to appear.
"Peace for the Father. See the Queen. There are inner ghosts. ”
In just a few words, it seems that Fang Jianzhang wrote in a little hurry, but except for reporting safety at the beginning, Fang Xiaoyu couldn't figure out what the last two sentences meant.
Seeing the queen is very simple, she has a sign that she can enter and leave the palace freely, and the queen is courting her for the sake of the prince, if she asks to see, the queen will not refuse her request. But what did you do when you saw the queen? What does it mean to have an inner ghost? Is it the inner ghost of the fox wolf grassland in the capital? Or is it in the court? Or is it the emperor or the queen's side? Or is the inner ghost the queen?
Fang Xiaoyu pinched the bridge of his nose, secretly complaining about why his father was so confused and didn't make his words clear. This kind of guessing puzzle with almost no clue, each of which is very probable, what should she do?
Destroying the note, Fang Xiaoyu finally decided to go to meet the queen first. She instinctively felt that the queen couldn't be the inner ghost, if so, her father would not ask her to see her. So, maybe the inner ghost is near the queen?
Fang Xiaoyu immediately entered the palace with the sign, and the emperor was still facing up, so Fang Xiaoyu went straight to the queen's bedroom.
The minions guarding outside went in to report, and Fang Xiaoyu stood in the garden and took a closer look, compared to the last time he came, the layout in the garden seemed to have undergone some slight changes. There is an extra pot of beautiful and delicate flowers. This flower is called Linglong, the petals have some sense of transparency, red, yellow, white, a pot of Linglong blooms three colors. It is indeed beautiful and delicate, and it is a rare good thing.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't take it to heart, but just looked at it twice.
When Aunt Lan Ruo came out, she happened to meet the pot and stared at the pot with a smile, so she smiled and said, "This is given to the queen by Su Guiren, and the queen sees the beauty of this flower." It's also a special favorite. It's just that this flower can't be separated from the sun, so it was moved to the courtyard, and once the queen is free, she likes to take a few looks. ”
"The sudden visit of the courtiers disturbed the purity of the queen's mother." Fang smiled politely.
"Why did Miss Fang say this? The queen mother likes it, and Miss Fang likes it tightly. If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince had already married a wife, and the sixteenth prince was still young, the queen wished you could be her daughter-in-law. Aunt Lan Ruo said with a smile, with some intimacy in her words.
"Aunt Lan Ruo, don't laugh and laugh. Just laughing at this temper, the queen can't look down on it. Fang Xiaoyu smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Miss Fang is really interesting. The girl went in, but the queen could only talk to Miss Fang with a curtain. I'm afraid of being sick to the girl. Aunt Lan Ruo's face suddenly darkened.
"The Queen Mother is sick?" Fang Xiaoyu was stunned in his heart, is it time to be so sick?
"Somehow, the queen always feels dizzy and panicked these days. I thought it was because there were a lot of things in the harem, and I was tired, and I could get better by taking a few pairs of medicines, but the imperial doctor changed one after another, and the disease was not better, but it was stricter. Aunt Lan Ruo was very worried. She is a palace maid who has followed the queen since she entered the palace. After so many years, I finally became an 'aunt'. The queen trusts her, and she really cares about the queen in her heart. Although they are in the relationship between the master and the slave, they have been in the palace for many years. After going through hardships together to achieve success, that affection is no different from that of sisters.
"Aunt Lan Ruo, although she is not as holy as the imperial doctors, but I also know some Qihuang techniques, can I give the queen mother a pulse?" Fang Xiaoyu became more and more suspicious. My dad sent a message on the front foot. The queen fell ill immediately, and always felt that there would be some inexplicable connection between them.
"Miss Fang also understands medicine? I dare to be kind, and I don't hide it from the girl, I watch the queen mother get thinner and thinner every day, and my heart is worried. The girl is the person who is blessed by the Buddha, and the queen will be safe. "Aunt Lan Ruo has reached the point where she is in a hurry to go to the doctor. The imperial doctors in the palace have all called to see it, but none of them can see any problems. The prescription is Kaile one after another, and he eats it all, but it is not good. She could only watch the queen mother become depressed day by day, and sometimes she had a splitting headache, and she was worried when she looked at it.
"I don't dare to give Aunt Lan Ruo any guarantees. It's just that if the queen's illness comes suddenly, there should always be some reason. All I can say is try my best, and if I really can't, my aunt shouldn't blame me. Fang Xiaoyu will not say it to death. The queen's true illness or false illness is still unknown, and when the time comes, she will fall into someone else's trap, then she should really cry.
"The girl can rest assured, even the imperial doctor is helpless, and the slave and maid have thought of all the ways they can think, so they pin their hopes on the girl. Even the girl can't, and the slave and maid only have gratitude, how dare they resent. Aunt Lan Ruo said this, and she had already led Fang Xiaoyu to the queen's bedroom.
Fang Xiaoyu saw that the queen was reclining, she seemed to be a little lazy or weak, and a yellow gauze curtain was separated in the middle, blocking the queen's graceful face.
"This palace is sick, and I'm afraid that I will give you the sickness, so I can only talk through the curtain, don't be surprised." The queen's voice was a little hoarse, as if she had been tortured by something, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.
"The queen must not say this, it is the courtiers who disturb the mother's recuperation." Fang Xiaoyu didn't look at the curtain when he spoke, but saw everything in the room clearly. Immediately, she couldn't help frowning.
Aunt Lan Ruo watched Fang Xiaoyu's every move. Seeing that she was always staring at the furnishings in the house, I didn't know what she was looking at, and she frowned because of what.
Fang Xiaoyu was silent at first, and then said with a smile: "I just heard what Aunt Lan Ruo said, but even the imperial doctor is helpless?" The queen's mother, the courtiers also know a little bit about the art of Qihuang, why don't you let the courtiers take the pulse of the mother? ”
"Oh? Laughing, you still have the ability. Perhaps, this palace is restless day and night tormented by this sudden disease, so you come to take a look at this palace, but can you still be saved? "The queen was really tormented by this disease, and she had such negative thoughts.
Didn't refuse?
Fang Xiaoyu was silent on the surface. Secretly I wondered.
If the queen is faking illness, then she shouldn't let herself take her pulse. In this way, the furnishings in this house are slightly different from those in the courtyard. It's not that the queen did it on purpose to show her, but that she lives in such an environment?
Fang Xiaoyu didn't have time to think about it, opened the curtain, and was startled when he saw the queen's sickly appearance.
Once upon a time to see the Queen. Always be a graceful and luxurious person. That is the master of the harem of the mother's world, and every move and smile carries the majesty and momentum of the mother of the country.
However, now this person who finds it difficult to even open his eyes, how can he still see the slightest trace of that graceful shadow?
It's like a terminally ill old woman, who looks like she's aged by ten or twenty years in an instant.
Such symptoms are obviously very severe, and this is by no means a stage. If the queen had a problem, she didn't have to act out this play in front of herself in such a self-harming way. Then, at least it proves that the queen is really sick, and the sick has lost a lot of weight. This disease does not become like this in a day or two.
Fang Xiaoyu's hand was on the queen's wrist. Then his brows furrowed even tighter, and he said, "When did the queen's illness start?" ”
"It's been four or five days. At first, the queen just felt a little dizzy and didn't take it seriously. In the past, when he was in charge of the six palaces, he also worked day and night, and headaches were common. Therefore, the queen thought it was just an ordinary headache, so she just drank a few cups of soothing tea, but who knew that the disease was getting more and more serious. It is said that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread. The Queen's Illness. It turned out to be strict to such a point. The imperial physician couldn't find anything, and the emperor was also in a hurry, so he thought of many ways, and even forced the imperial physician to make a military order. It's a pity that no matter how much medicine she takes, the queen's illness has not been alleviated at all. ”
"Four or five days ago? The Word is right. Fang Xiaoyu put the queen's wrist back into the quilt, and asked, "Dare to ask Aunt Lan Ruo, the furnishings in this room seem to be a little different from when the courtiers came before, but what's the point?" ”
Aunt Lan Ruo saw Fang Xiaoyu and suddenly changed the topic to the furnishings in the house. His brows furrowed, and he didn't know what Fang Xiaoyu meant.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't wait for Lan Ruo to speak, and then said, "There, there's an extra pot of ghost face orchids." And here, if I'm not mistaken, this was a piece of silver bell jade at that time. Such a large silver bell jade is very rare, and even if you have silver, you may not be able to find it. ”
"Miss Fang, what is wrong?" Lan Ruo has been in the palace for many years, and many methods have been seen. She has seen too many times using the characteristics of food or plants to harm people.
However, whether it is an orchid or a jade, she has looked at the imperial doctor, and said that there is no problem, and it is not compatible with each other, is there anything else she has overlooked?
"Dare to ask Aunt Lan Ruo, when did these things come on and where did they come from?" Fang Xiaoyu stared at the pot of ghost-faced orchids intently.
"This ......" Aunt Lan Ruo looked at Fang Xiaoyu's solemn expression, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart: "These things were sent by the concubines of various palaces, and speaking of which, it happened that they were all sent four or five days ago. ”
"Why do good public concubines give gifts to the queen?" The strange color in Fang Xiaoyu's eyes flashed.
"A few days ago, the queen's maiden brother made a meritorious service and was rewarded by the emperor, so the concubines from various palaces came to give a lot of congratulatory gifts...... Aunt Lan Ruo explained.
"However, the slave maid also asked the imperial doctor before, these things themselves are not poisonous, and they are not compatible when placed together, could it be that Miss Fang thinks that these things caused the queen mother to get sick?"
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said with a calm face: "The queen mother is not sick, but poisoned. ”
"Poisoned?" Aunt Lan Ruo was shocked, and even the queen sat up suddenly, because the range of movement was too large, the whole person arched up, but it was difficult to hide the surprise and anger on her face.
Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly went to help the queen lie down again and said: "It seems that this poison has been infected for four or five days, and if it continues like this, in another ten days and a half months, I am afraid that even the immortals will be difficult to save." ”
"Are you telling the truth?" At this time, the prince was seen hurrying to the house. It turned out that he came to see his mother after going down to the court, but he was told that Fang Xiaoyu was also there. He was about to smile when he came in directly, but he didn't want to hear such words.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Fang Xiaoyu didn't expect that it was the prince who broke in directly, so he had to bow slightly.
"No courtesy. Miss Fang, what you just said about the queen mother being poisoned is true? "The prince is very respectful and filial to the queen, when he hears that his mother's life is in danger, can he be calm?
"The queen has been poisoned for a few days. It's very toxic, but it's not the traditional poison. It creates the illusion of being overworked all year round, headaches, palpitations, malaise, back pain, and the person is getting thinner and thinner. If you wait for another ten days and a half months, even if the gods come, they can't be saved. ”――
