417. 418 Because it is not the only one, it can be indifferent
In the Chengqian Palace, it seems to be quiet as usual.
But in the dormitory, there is an indescribable tense atmosphere at the moment.
Originally, the emperor drank the decoction made by Lin Dongyao himself, and he should have a strong vomiting reaction, but the emperor fell into a coma for a long time.
The Queen Mother was still able to calm down at first, but in the end, she couldn't see the emperor wake up, and the Queen Mother's face was gloomy and uncertain.
"Your Royal Highness, it stands to reason that acupuncture and ice cubes are enough to speed up the penetration of the decoction in the emperor's body, but why is the emperor still unconscious? Is there something wrong with the decoction itself? β
The full moon reminded Lin Dongyao in a whisper.
Lin Dongyao shook his head decisively,
"No, I personally boiled the decoction, and I never left it for a moment during the period, and I also sent Nian Zheng to guard it personally outside the dining room of Xuanji Palace, and there will be no strangers approaching."
"Since it's not a decoction problem, it's the emperor's own physique problem, orβ"
A bold assumption suddenly flashed through Full Moon's mind, which she also thought of in a flash of inspiration based on her previous life's understanding of Lin Donghe.
"Or what?"
Lin Dongyao looked at her suspiciously.
"Your Royal Highness, since the person who poisoned him could think of using a pair of Gu worms to restrain the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, would he have already started to act before and did something in the emperor's diet, even if he didn't do anything, if he chose Gu worms according to the emperor's diet, what we are doing now is likely to be in vain."
The full moon voice fell, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but interject on the side,
"Linghu Full Moon, is there any basis for your guess?"
"Queen Mother, you have to look at the emperor's meal list for the past one to three years before you can draw a conclusion."
The full moon said this, and the Queen Mother felt a sense of froze.
"One to three years in the last year? When is this going to be seen? β
"Grandma Huang, the speculation of the full moon is not unreasonable, now my father has been unconscious, but there is no problem with my grandson's decoction, and now there is one last way left, which is to find out the problem from my father's meals in the past one to three years."
Lin Dongyao also agrees with the idea of a full moon.
"But this doesn't necessarily lead to finding the problem, and besides, it's one to three years, when are you going to find it?" The Queen Mother shook her head, her eyes darkened.
"Grandma Huang, there's only one way."
It was also the first time that Lin Dongyao had such a close contact with Gu worms, and when he encountered an emergency, he was not completely sure.
"Okay, the mourning family will believe you again!"
The Queen Mother nodded, although she agreed, her eyes were obviously suspicious.
When it comes to this, the Queen Mother is also difficult to ride. I want to stop, but the matter has come to this point, and the Queen Mother can't trust other people lightly now, and she hasn't even found out who poisoned her, what if she lures a wolf into the house?
She trusts Lin Dongyao, but the current situation is obviously a little out of control.
ββ
Facing the light meals piled up on the table like a mountain, Full Moon and Lin Dongyao exchanged glances, opened the book in front of them, and browsed it quickly.
It stands to reason that it doesn't take much time to read a book, but the key is that after reading it, you should remember it in your mind, and combine it with what appears later to find the problem.
After reading three books, Full Moon suddenly thought of something, and was about to speak, but Lin Dongyao had already ordered the eunuch,
"Go and find all the tributes that have been paid in the past year."
What Lin Dongyao said was exactly what the full moon wanted.
She swallowed back the words to her mouth, glanced at Lin Dongyao lightly, and quickly lowered her head.
The tacit understanding just now was something neither of them expected.
Full Moon and Lin Dongyao were in the main hall to check the light diet, and in the dormitory, Concubine An was about to lean over to tuck the quilt for the emperor, and was scolded by the Queen Mother.
"Get out of here! The mourning family hasn't settled accounts with you yet! Don't think you're nothing! The emperor vomited blood, and the mourning family is not finished with you! β
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and spoke, a handful of old people, still frightened, and she hadn't rested well for several days, after saying these few words, the Queen Mother only felt that her eyes were dark, her body shook, and she almost fell.
Concubine An watched from the sidelines, didn't say anything, and continued to tuck the quilt for the emperor.
The Queen Mother held on to the table before she stood firmly, sat down and rested for a while before relieving.
Seeing that Concubine An was still staying by the emperor's side to take care of her, the Queen Mother was angry, remembering Concubine An's disrespect to her before, and the past events against her everywhere, the Queen Mother became more and more angry.
The Queen Mother was about to speak, but Concubine An had already taken the lead in speaking,
"Queen Mother, I am the concubine appointed by the emperor to stay in Chengqian Palace to take care of him, if the emperor wakes up and can't see me, the emperor will not directly argue with the queen mother, but the emperor naturally understands in his heart that if something happens to me, it will only be the queen mother! Since the emperor kept me by his side, he believed in my ability and character. In the past many years, I have not been on good terms with the Queen Mother, but I have always been doing my part, many times it is the Queen Mother who has overstepped, even if you are the Queen Mother, this harem, serving the emperor is not still us concubines? The emperor's wife and concubine are us, and in my opinion, this is the matter between the prince and his wife and concubine.
The queen mother manages too much, my temperament will naturally resist, the emperor sees and understands, but he doesn't care much, in fact, he also uses his own way to deal with the balance between the harem, the harem is three thousand, some people are favored, some people are out of favor, some people are domineering, some people are cautious, some people are servile, and some people secretly make a move. It is impossible for the emperor to grasp everyone's mind thoroughly, he only needs to understand the most important people around him.
Although there are many people on the enemy side of the harem, many times, it is involved in the whole body, and the emperor has always seen limited, so the people around him can't be the queen who is indignant behind her back like the queen, and they can't all be obedient and unreciprocated like Concubine Jing, you need to have a self-righteous Concubine Jin and Concubine Hui who seems to be simple but has another purpose, and naturally needs a so-called villain in the eyes of everyone - naturally it's me!
But from beginning to end, I have never had a really dangerous action against the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and even the Queen's throne, I have stayed in the Xuanji Palace most of the time and have never taken the initiative, the Xuanji Palace seems to be the palace of the imperial concubine, and the status in the harem is second only to the Queen Mother and the Queen, but the concubine is the concubine! A concubine with no ambition is favored and cared for by the emperor, if she can think about it thoroughly, she will not be puzzled.
Queen Mother, if you are not good for me, the harem will be in chaos, and the Queen Mother can try it if you don't believe it! β
Concubine An said something calmly and eloquently.
It's like gossiping with the Queen Mother, on the beautiful and dazzling face, there is always a shallow and waveless temperament, and the pupils that seem to be clear and clear are bottomless.
She has been fighting with the Queen Mother for eighteen years! This is the most talked!
But until this moment, the Queen Mother failed to see through Concubine An's true temperament.
The Queen Mother and Concubine An are completely complementary in many ways.
The Queen Mother is strong and majestic by nature, but she is not smart enough.
If it weren't for the fact that she has experienced too many winds and waves in the past so many years, and there is an element of luck, the Queen Mother would not have survived until now.
As for Concubine An, she is extremely smart, but she refuses to bow her head at the critical moment, even if she thinks that what she says and does will offend the Queen Mother, she refuses to compromise.
The Queen Mother had just recovered from her recovery, and after listening to Concubine An's words, she was almost angry.
"Are you threatening the mourners?"
"Queen Mother, if you think carefully about what I just said, you will know if I am a threat."
Concubine An's tone was always calm and indifferent, compared to the Queen Mother's anger at the moment, it was completely one day and one place.
Lying on the bed at the moment is the emperor, the son of the queen mother! Mother and son are connected, the queen mother is usually a strong character, and at this time, she has to use strength to disguise her uneasiness and her body and mind on the verge of collapse.
As for Concubine An, she has long seen through the harem's deception, the man in front of her is the only son of the Queen Mother, but Concubine An is not his only one!
She is just one of the many concubines in his harem!
That's all!
It's just special, not unique!
So Concubine An can be so calm and indifferent at the moment, just because she has never regarded the emperor as her alone in her heart, so in the face of life and death at this moment, she sees it very lightly.
Even if the emperor is really gone, she has no tears.
She is Dongyao's only mother, but Dongyao's father is not the only mother and son.
Only by seeing through can you survive calmly in this cage-like palace.
"Good, good! The emperor is unconscious now, you dare to teach the mourning family a lesson! The mourning family has no time to worry about you now, and when the emperor wakes up, the mourning family will slowly settle accounts with you! β
The Queen Mother's tone is still strong and cold, she is a face-loving person, and she will not show weakness in front of Concubine An.

The next morning, it dawned.
The stiff body under the full moon activity, rubbed his eyes, and was about to look down, but saw a glass of warm water handed in front of him.
"I haven't closed my eyes all night, so rest first."
Lin Dongyao's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were red and bloodshot.
Not only did he stay awake all night on the full moon, but he was too.
Not to mention that he is still in a wheelchair.
When the full moon is tired, he can still stand up and walk around and watch, but he can only sit in a wheelchair.
"Your Highness, it is estimated that we will have to watch it for another day and a night before we can finish it."
The full moon breathed a sigh of relief, and they watched it all night, and only saw a third of it.
"Later, I will arrange for Nian Zheng to come over to replace the shift, and we will go to the dormitory to see my father."
"Hmm."
Full Moon nodded, rubbed her eyes and continued to look.
"Drink the water first."
His voice rang out coldly.
"Got it." The full moon replied almost subconsciously.
Lin Dongyao looked at her with some surprise.
She is not as calm and ruthless as she appears on the surface, and she also has times of submissiveness.
Full Moon's gaze has not left the booklet in front of him, he groped with one hand and took the cup, drank a cup of warm water, put down the cup and continued to look at the booklet intently, Lin Dongyao's eyes fell on her face, as if he saw another her, which made him feel indescribably moved.
Different from the previous temptation, this time it is more profound and clear, but her heart is still on the shelf and cannot be seen.
