Chapter 121: Ask Huahua silently
There has been no news for a few days, Yifang is trapped here and can't get out, and the other palace people are also unable to move an inch. Yifang had to let Teng Ling replace her and go out to see the children over the wall at night. But this look brought back a bad news, Liu Qi's body was not healed from the injury of the board, and he was scratched by the cat again.
"Cats? How can you get scratched by a cat? What do the eunuchs and grandmothers around the prince eat? Yifang suddenly remembered the wild cat that Liu Heng brought over that day.
"Don't be excited, the slave heard that the prince was better, so she went out to play. The cat, which had been fed by the prince before, suddenly went berserk when the prince approached it this time. At that time, things happened too fast, and the eunuchs and grandmothers around the prince didn't have time to rush forward, and the prince's arm had already been scraped by a cat's claw. ”
Yifang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Is it just scraping your arm?" That's a blessing in disguise. ”
But Teng Ling shook his head sadly: "Niangniang, you must cheer up, the slave maid heard that although the injury on the prince's arm is not deep, but the cat's paw is quenched with poison, His Royal Highness the prince was poisoned, and he is still unconscious." ”
Yifang suddenly stood a little unstable, if it was an ordinary injury, it would be fine, but once it was stained with poison, it would be difficult to do. Yi Fang bracked himself up and continued to ask, "Do you know what kind of poison is in the prince?" ”
Teng Ling shook his head: "The slave maid inquired, and the imperial doctors in the hospital were helpless about it, and no one could find out what kind of poison the prince was, so naturally they couldn't prescribe the right medicine." ”
"What about Zili? Where is Zili? Yifang was so flustered that he stumbled and was about to run out to find Zili.
"Don't panic, I'm here, I'm here."
Yi Fangyi grabbed Zili's hand: "Zili, you must find a way to see Qi'er, and you must find out what kind of poison he has been poisoned." He is only so young, and he has to suffer such a sin, and this palace really can't get over it in his heart. ”
"Okay, don't worry, I'll sneak out with Teng Ling tonight to take a good look at His Royal Highness the Prince." Zili also heard the news of Liu Qi's injury, so he hurried over. She was worried that Yifang would not be able to withstand such a blow and would break out without regard for anything.
Teng Ling and his son left the palace where the prince lived, but at night there were imperial doctors guarding here, and the eunuchs and grandmothers were also here, and they couldn't find a chance to enter for a while.
"You are tired from your errands these days, I will give you an hour, go down and rest!" Liu Heng suddenly gave them an order, and the imperial doctors were naturally grateful, but the grandmothers who really felt sorry for Liu Qi were unwilling to leave.
"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are not tired, if there is no one around the prince to take care of him, it will not be good if he wakes up and can't find anyone, we don't need to rest, let's just stay here and take care of it!"
"You have been staying here, and the whole room is stuffy, and you can't breathe, which is not conducive to the prince's awakening." Liu Heng seemed to deliberately glance at Teng Ling and Zili in the direction where they were hiding, before continuing, "Go out and rest for an hour, and wait until an hour has passed, and then you can come back here." ”
Since it was Liu Heng's order, they couldn't refute it many times, so they walked out step by step. And when all the people were emptied, Liu Heng also looked inside twice and left with Wu Ping.
"Your Majesty, since you deliberately want the queen mother to come to see the crown prince, why do you want to be so sneaky? If you lift the queen's grounding openly, you won't have it. Wu Ping followed Liu Heng's side, asking as he walked, he was really puzzled.
"What do you know, it's not her who came, it's just the two palace maids beside her." Liu Heng glared at Wu Ping, as if he was complaining that he shouldn't have mentioned this matter.
"Then since the queen mother is not here, why do you want to clear everyone away?" Wu Ping didn't realize Liu Heng's unhappiness at all, and continued to ask.
"I cleared everyone out so that the palace maid who knew medical skills could go in and see if she could find out what poison in Qi'er had anything to do with the queen?"
"Then you can also let them come and see in the open, Queen Mother......" Wu Ping continued to make noise, and Liu Heng directly interrupted him.
"Shut up!"
But after Liu Heng took everyone away, Teng Ling and Zili finally entered the room smoothly.
"It's really good, I didn't know how to get in, so I met the emperor and asked everyone to rest, we are lucky today." Teng Ling didn't think of the reason for this at all, so he sighed happily.
But Zili expected this, she didn't keep quiet, and only treated Liu Qi with peace of mind.
"The queen mother guessed right, the sticky thing on the cat's body is really the culprit who poisoned His Royal Highness the Prince." Zili can see it at a glance.
"You mean, the cat I mentioned to us last time wasn't clean, and it was because of the poison?"
"Yes, at that time, Niangniang was just worried that there were those sticky things on the cat's body, which would make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stain his clothes, so we asked the eunuchs and grandmothers to pay attention to wash them, but I didn't expect those things to be poisonous, which led to the coma of His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Now that we know the source of His Royal Highness the Prince's coma, can we have any solution?" Teng Ling didn't know any toxicological skills, she only thought that the prince could wake up quickly, so that Yifang could feel more at ease.
"I already know what kind of poison this is, but this matter is very important, and I have to discuss it with my mother." Zili's expression was a little solemn, and Teng Ling was inconvenient to ask more questions at this time, so he hurriedly covered her and left.
Back in Jiaofang Palace, the two hurriedly went to find Yifang, and she happened to hear the movement and rushed out.
"Zili, have you been to see Qi'er? How is he doing now? Are there any signs of waking up? What kind of poison is it? After asking several questions in a row, Yifang looked at Zili with a very worried gaze.
"Niangniang, this poison in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is called a hundred gels, which is extracted from some poisonous animals and plants and mixed together. This poison is a sticky substance, the same thing you found earlier in cats. Zili paused for a moment before continuing, "This poison is complicated because of the complicated production process, so the antidote is only in the hands of the Lu clan who created this poison. ”
"Lu clansmen?" Yi Fang was taken aback by these words, she only suspected that it was Mrs. Shen's hand, but she didn't expect that it would involve the rest of the Lu family.
"Does the emperor know about this?"
"The slave has not yet been reported to the emperor."
"Then you hurry up and ......," Yifang said here, but suddenly remembered something.
It is very likely that Mrs. Shen did this, but if she used the poison unique to the Lu clan, it must have something to do with the Lu clan. But if he rashly told Liu Heng like this, with his current love for Mrs. Shen, he would definitely not believe it, but would punish her for a false accusation.
Yi Fang thought about it, and suddenly someone got into her head.
"That's right, Yuan An! Yuan Ang used to be Lu Lu's retainer, and he must have known something about this poison. Yifang's heart suddenly ignited hope, he hurriedly instructed Teng Ling, "This matter can only be handed over to you, you must find a way to contact Yuan An, he is deeply trusted by the emperor, if he hands over the antidote, the emperor will definitely believe it." ”
"Don't worry, the queen mother, the slave will do it." Teng Ling is used to going in and out of the palace over the wall, and this matter is related to Liu Qi's life, she will definitely do everything to do it well.
In the past few days, Yuan Ang has often come to the palace to see Liu Heng in order to follow up on disaster relief, and it is easy for Teng Ling to find him.
In the evening of this day, Teng Ling hid in Tibet to avoid the palace people, waiting on the way for Yuan Ang to leave the palace. I don't know how long I waited, but I finally saw a person walking slowly, and Teng Ling hurriedly rushed out to stop him.
"Lord Yuan, the slave can be regarded as waiting for you." Teng Ling sighed first, and when he saw that he was at a loss, he quickly explained, "The slave maid is the personal maid of the queen's mother, and the queen mother specially asked the slave and maid to wait here." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yuan An's expression really softened a little: "Since the queen mother asked you to come here to wait for me, there must be something very important to say." I heard that these days, the queen mother has been grounded by the emperor, but what happened? ”
"Lord Yuan, do you know the situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Teng Ling secretly ran out of the Jiaofang Palace, worried that he would be discovered by others, and he wouldn't stay long, so he told him the key point directly at this time.
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured and poisoned, and he hasn't woken up yet." Yuan Ang heard about this incident, but he was busy with official business, so he didn't inquire much and didn't know the specific situation.
"Lord Yuan is right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been poisoned, and in order to cure this poison, the Queen Mother wants to seek the help of adults." Tengling looked at him with hope.
"But I don't know any antidote to poison, why would the queen let you come to me?" Yuan Ang didn't know what it meant.
Teng Ling hurriedly continued: "Although the lord does not know the method of detoxification, the queen mother told the slave maid that the lord used to be a retainer of the Lu family. This poison in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the unique Hundred Gels of the Lu Clan, and I heard that only the Lu Clan can get the antidote. ”
"Hundred gels?" Yuan Ang was shocked, "How long has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince been poisoned?" ”
Teng Ling thought about it carefully: "It's been about three or five days. ”
"This is not good, we must detoxify it quickly, otherwise, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will never wake up."
Teng Ling trembled with fright, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a way for Lord Yuan?" ”
"Hundred gels are widely spread among the Lu clan, and I have been exposed to some before, and there are still antidotes. You go back and tell the queen that you don't have to worry, I will definitely let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wake up safely. ”
Teng Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "Then thank you, sir." ”
