Imperial Physician Shen and Imperial Physician Xu hurriedly retreated to the side and saluted.

"Mother, Wan Fu Jin'an."

After Concubine Xi walked in, she just glanced at Concubine Ning on the bed perfunctorily, and then said, "This palace heard that Concubine Ning has the plague, do you have a way to save her?" ”

Imperial Physician Xu replied respectfully, "Niangniang, now the Tai Hospital is preparing a suitable prescription, but it will take some time, and you can't give Concubine Ning medicine for the time being." ”

"If there is no medicine, it is estimated that Concubine Ning will not live long after seeing her like this, she is a concubine after all, she can't be sent out to quarantine with those palace people, or send her to Jingyang Palace." Concubine Xi commanded.

Immediately, several eunuchs behind her stepped forward to prepare to take Concubine Ning away.

Xiao Tao saw that Concubine Ning, who was seriously ill, was about to be dragged to Jingyang Palace, she suddenly knelt on the ground and begged, "Concubine Xi Niangniang, let Concubine Ning stay in Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Ning is still saved, and she will definitely be saved......"

"Shut up!" Concubine Xi scolded Xiao Tao, "Leaving Concubine Ning in Zhongcui Palace will only make everyone else infected with the epidemic, this palace can't take such a big risk for her alone, it's already a gift to let her go to Jingyang Palace, there is no place for you to speak here, don't get out quickly." ”

Xiao Tao didn't dare to plead again with tears in her eyes, but she couldn't bear Concubine Ning being taken away, so she could only continue to kneel aside.

Imperial Physician Shen hesitated for a moment and expressed his opinion, "According to Weichen's opinion, Concubine Ning may not have been infected with the plague. ”

Concubine Xi frowned suddenly, and said coldly, "What did you say?" It's already so obvious, how can it not be a plague! ”

"At first glance, the symptoms of Concubine Ning's illness are very similar to the epidemic, but after careful inspection, you can find that there is a difference. The root of Concubine Ning's tongue is purple, and Weichen suspects that Niangniang has been poisoned. ”

Concubine Xi walked in front of Imperial Physician Shen, raised her eyebrows, and seemed to be smiling, "Poisoned? The palace should ask Imperial Physician Shen what kind of poison Concubine Ning was in and how it was poisoned. Is there an antidote? ”

Imperial Physician Shen avoided her aggressive gaze. He said in a low voice, "The minister can't know for the time being, and he can only give an answer after careful investigation." ”

I don't know why. Imperial Physician Shen had a bad feeling, he felt that Concubine Ning would not be able to escape this catastrophe.

When Concubine Xi heard this, she just snorted, "I see." It turns out that Imperial Physician Shen didn't know, so why do you say that Concubine Ning didn't have the plague? Before Imperial Doctor Shen could reply. She turned her head to ask Imperial Physician Xu again, "Now that there is a disagreement between this palace and Imperial Physician Shen, what about Imperial Physician Xu, what do you think?" ”

Concubine Xi smiled at Imperial Doctor Xu. threw a question over, but Imperial Physician Xu was furious by her, and her mind was blank.

Regardless of what he really thinks. He didn't dare to go against Concubine Xi's wishes, so he had to lower his head and whisper back. "Back to Niangniang, Weichen also felt that Concubine Ning was suffering from the plague. ”

"That's good, since Imperial Physician Xu and this palace have the same opinion, then maybe Imperial Physician Shen is wrong, Imperial Physician Shen, you must be suspicious, how could Concubine Ning be poisoned?" After Concubine Xi finished speaking, she immediately ordered the eunuchs to take Concubine Ning to Jingyang Palace and separate her from everyone.

Imperial Physician Shen glanced at Concubine Ning and knew that she was dying, so he didn't argue again, he planned to investigate this matter secretly behind his back.

After Concubine Xi left, Xiao Tao sat on the ground and kept sobbing, and Imperial Doctor Shen walked over and asked her what Concubine Ning had eaten yesterday.

Xiao Tao has no owner, and sobbed and said, "It's all ordinary food, and someone tested the poison before the mother's meal, and the slave doesn't know how the mother was poisoned." ”

Imperial Physician Shen pondered for a moment and then asked, "Didn't Niang Niang eat anything that she hadn't tried poisoning?" ”

Xiao Tao thought for a long time, "There is nothing else except tranquilizers." ”

Imperial Doctor Shen immediately asked Xiao Tao to take him to find the slag of the tranquilizer, and when they arrived at the dining room, they found that the dregs were gone, but Xiao Tao clearly remembered that she had put the dregs on the ground and had not had time to throw them away.

Fortunately, Xiao Tao forgot to wash the medicine jar that boiled medicine yesterday, and there was still a little medicine base left in it, Imperial Doctor Shen leaned his nose closer to smell it, and could only smell a strong smell of medicine, he took out a silver needle from the medicine box and put it into the medicine jar.

Soon, the tip of the silver needle turned black, and Imperial Physician Shen's face changed greatly, it seemed that Concubine Ning was indeed poisoned.

Xiao Tao panicked, she shook her head and kept shouting, "This is impossible, absolutely impossible, Niangniang has taken a tranquilizer for a long time, how can this medicine be poisonous, impossible." ”

"You said that Concubine Ning has been taking tranquilizers for a long time? How long? Imperial Physician Shen's face was anxious.

Xiao Tao thought for a while, "For more than a month, Niangniang has always been fine, and there has never been a problem." ”

Imperial Physician Shen sighed thoughtfully, "It seems that someone deliberately poisoned yesterday's medicine. ”

But who would do that?

Xiao Tao's expression changed, and she said suspiciously, "Could it be Ping'er?" Ping'er only came to Zhongcui Palace yesterday, and last night the slave maid left the dining room for a period of time in a hurry, and it was the medicine she saw for the slave maid. ”

Imperial Physician Shen frowned and muttered, "Ping'er is a new palace maid?" Then she was indeed suspicious. ”

After that, Xiao Tao took Imperial Doctor Shen to find Ping'er, but they searched the entire Zhongcui Palace, but they didn't see Ping'er, and Ping'er absconded in fear of crime.

Later in the evening, Xiao Tao secretly went to Jingyang Palace to see Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning had woken up and was quite awake, but her internal organs had been eroded by the poison, and the pain was unbearable all over her body, and she was powerless to return to the sky.

When Xiao Tao saw Concubine Ning, she threw herself on her and cried bitterly, she has been with Concubine Ning for seven years, and the relationship between master and servant is very deep.

"Master, it was poisoned in yesterday's medicine, the slave maid felt that it must be Ping'er's poison, she has run away without a trace now, the slave and maid will go to tell the emperor about this matter, and ask the emperor to be your master." Xiao Tao cried and cried, feeling very sad.

Concubine Ning waved her hand weakly, "Don't, you don't have enough evidence, it's useless to go to the emperor, Ping'er must have been instructed by someone, there must be a mastermind behind her, this palace feels that this matter is related to Concubine Xi, if you really go to the emperor, it will only anger Concubine Xi, and it will not be good for you in the end." ”

Xiao Tao wiped the sweat from Concubine Ning's forehead, "What should the slave do, is it possible to see Concubine Ning succeed?" ”

"You can't defeat her, you don't have to work in vain." Concubine Ning was angry, "You have to find a way to tell Concubine Sù Qian about this, so that she must beware of Concubine Xi, maybe she will find a way to avenge the ...... of this palace" (to be continued.) )
