After a while, Chu Yue quietly came to Concubine Mei's dormitory, Ye Jin was waiting in front of the tent, Chu Mo was guarding outside the dormitory, and when she saw Chu Yue coming, her face immediately showed an inquiring look, and she shook her head slightly in tacit understanding: "I have settled in the side hall, don't worry." ”

As she spoke, she had already come to the bed, and handed Ye Jin a look that made her feel at ease, in the days when Chu Mansion got along day and night, there was already a tacit understanding between them.

Ye Jin took out a half-old medical book and handed it to her: "This is what my mother left me, I can't read, and I never knew that this was a medical book, you take a look, I don't know if I can find Concubine Mei's disease." ”

Chu Yue took it, and without saying much, she looked at it directly, buried her head in the book, and turned her eyes to Concubine Mei from time to time, time passed little by little, a pair of beautiful eyebrows became tighter and tighter, her expression became more and more serious, and the consternation in her eyes became more and more obvious, I saw that she suddenly put down the book, quickly cleaned her hands, took out a brocade box from her sleeve, took out a sharp knife, ran to Chu Mo outside the hall, grabbed his hand, decisively drew a blood mark in his palm, collected the blood and smeared it on her fingertips, and then gently stroked the sinuous scar on Concubine Mei's face, I saw that the brown scars seemed to be alive, and they all spread out around her fingertips in panic.

After verifying the guess in his heart, Chu Yue was a little excited: "Sure enough! This is not a scar, it is a Gu worm, Concubine Mei was cut off*, and her perennial cold disease is also due to this. She wiped the blood from her fingertips, and took out a piece of silver and pierced it at the light red place of Concubine Mei's eyebrows, the silver needle suddenly turned black, and a dark black blood flow flowed out along the eye of the needle, Chu Yue took out a small medicine bottle and continued, until the blood injection gradually turned into a normal red, then slowly pulled out the silver needle, and the light red in the center of her eyebrows gradually dissipated.

"Medically speaking, the broken * is made of a kind of insect that grows in the ice of the North Hanging Country, the larvae have wings, can fly, and the wings fall off when they are adults, and they live in the ice underground, this kind of insect is fed and refined by the Gu people and even the poisonous grass Chitose Twilight to make a poisonous Gu, after the Gu is lowered, the Gu worms enter from the top of the Gu people's hair, attach to the skin to build a nest and perch, and for a long time they are mixed with the skin, becoming a scar, the Gu worms live by sucking human essence and blood, and emit cold poison, so that the Gu people not only have a ruined appearance, but also suffer from cold all year round. Therefore, Concubine Mei's body will become weaker and weaker, and a slight wind chill can kill her. ”

"Then ......" Ye Jin was shocked for a while, and then slowly regained his voice and asked hesitantly.

Chu Yue put Concubine Mei's hand back under the brocade quilt, with a solemn expression: "Look at the color of the scar, according to the medical skills, Concubine Mei Niangniang has been a Gu for more than seven years, and the cold disease has already invaded the heart, don't say that this Gu poison is not easy to solve, even if it is solved, this life span will not be long." ”

"Is there a way to solve Gu in that book?" Chu Mo opened his mouth and asked what Ye Jin was thinking.

Chu Yue hesitated for a while, and shook his head helplessly: "...... No, I've read it several times, and the book only describes the symptoms and their sources, but there is no way to solve the Gu, I guess...... I'm afraid there is no solution. ”

Ye Jin looked at Concubine Mei sleeping on the bed silently, she was Ming Zisu's mother, she must save her!

She grabbed Chu Yue's hand, and her tone unconsciously begged: "Then do you have a way to make her at least sober up a little occasionally?" It's better than falling asleep all day long like this and letting others slaughter you. ”

"Don't worry, now is not the time to speak, Fang Guiren is only afraid that he is going to wake up at this time, I will take this medical skill back and study it carefully, and think of a way."

After Chu Yue finished explaining, he and Chu Mo hurriedly returned to the side hall, Ye Jin looked at the sleeping Concubine Mei with a solemn expression and was stunned, she thought it was just a common jealousy in the harem, but she was drugged, and it was just a matter of prescribing the right medicine to detoxify the poison, but now it seems that the internal situation is so complicated, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as concubines competing for favor.

Moon Shadow comes in with a steaming meal.

"Master, eat something, it's the second half of the day, you haven't eaten anything, I specially went to our own palace to make the ones that you like to eat, you can taste them."

Ye Jin came back to her senses, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the red and swollen left side of Moon Shadow's face, and she touched her injury guiltily: "I have wronged you." ”

Moon Shadow smiled nonchalantly: "What kind of grievance is this, I'm happy to help you!" ”

"Go back and rub some medicine, don't leave a scar." Ye Jin admonished.

"Yes, thank you, master, by the way, I have heard some news today, which must be useful to you." Moon Shadow said as if offering a treasure.

"Tell me about it."

"I inquired today, it turns out that Concubine Mei is actually the biological mother of our Royal Highness!"

"What are you doing asking about this again? Is it really too long? Ye Jin was not surprised by this news, but she was a little surprised that she had just been punished by the queen for inquiring about the matter, and even almost lost her life, so she dared to inquire.

"I said that I must help you inquire clearly, you treat me like a mountain, I can't live up to you, this is okay not to inquire, a query to know, this Mei Concubine Niangniang is amazing, she was recommended into the palace at the age of fifteen, with a flute sound to order the plum blossoms of the floating fragrance garden to bloom, the emperor was shocked, immediately named her a nobleman, included in the harem, and also gave the title of Mei, Mei Guiren gave birth to the prince at the age of seventeen, that is, our Royal Highness the Prince, was promoted to be the Mei Concubine, given to live in the Jiaofang Palace, which is closest to the emperor's Dezheng Palace, Since then, Concubine Mei has been a special favorite, and it has lasted for several years, I don't know why she was suddenly moved to this remote and deserted Lengwu Palace, and her appearance was ruined, and the emperor never came to see her again, I want to ask clearly, but they all avoided keeping silent, and I couldn't ask anything anymore. ”

When Ye Jin heard this, he couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time, and was silent for a long time, and said faintly: "Back then, Concubine Mei was a wealthy and glorious family, but I never thought that after more than 20 years, I would have such an ending. ”

Suddenly, a terrible thought suddenly came to her mind, to kill her mother and take her child......

But the queen obviously has her own son, why doesn't she support her son? Don't......

With a thought in her mind, she asked Moon Shadow, "Do you know what kind of person His Royal Highness King Qi is?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Qi...... He is the favorite prince of our palace maids, he is good at learning and virtue, he is gentle and kind, he has never embarrassed us when he was in the palace, and he will not be punished for making mistakes, just reprimand a few words without pain, we all hope that one day he can be assigned to serve in the palace of His Royal Highness King Qi, but unfortunately now His Royal Highness King Qi has married the princess and built a mansion outside, we just want to repay his kindness and can't repay it. At the end of the sentence, Moon Shadow's face was full of regret.

"So you've received his favor too? Have you served in King Qi's side? ”

Moon Shadow sighed and said: "How can I have that blessing, when I first entered the palace, I didn't understand the rules, so I didn't make fewer mistakes, and I didn't get beaten and punished, one day I was punished for kneeling for an hour, I didn't walk steadily, I accidentally bumped into His Royal Highness King Qi, and broke the scroll in his hand, he not only didn't punish me, but also asked about my injuries and rewarded me with a bottle of ointment, I have never seen such a good master, except for you, His Royal Highness King Qi is the best person in this palace." ”

Ye Jin couldn't help but smile, "Look at you, talk to him like a saint." ”

"In my heart he is a saint, he is good at everything, and he is the prince born to the queen's mother, I think, if he is not suffering from a stubborn illness and cannot enjoy the life of ordinary people, maybe the crown prince is his, if he becomes an emperor in the future, he must be a benevolent king......"

Can't enjoy the life of ordinary people? Ye Jin quickly grasped the key point, and looked at the moon shadow thoughtfully, could this be the reason why the queen did not support her son but supported Ming Zisu as the crown prince? But if it is really the queen who has harmed Concubine Mei so far, Ming Zisu and her only have an enmity against the sky, how can they be willing to be in the same vein as her? The queen is a smart person, how could she do such an unwise act of raising tigers.....

Moon Shadow's smiling face gradually froze under Ye Jin's gaze, and suddenly realized what he had said, his brain turned white, he knelt down with a plop, and slapped his mouth heavily: "The slave is speechless!" That's not what slaves mean! Slaves and maids should be damned! ”

Ye Jin was startled, grabbed her and shouted, "What are you doing?!" ”

"The slave is dizzy and talking nonsense, the slave and the slave should be damned!"

Moon Shadow didn't take it lightly at all, as if she didn't know the pain, and after only a few hits, blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, and her already red and swollen face was even more swollen at this time.

"Okay, I didn't take it to heart, don't be nervous." Ye Jin hurriedly grabbed her insignificant hand, lest she beat herself up, and changed the topic: "Did you go to King Qi's mansion today, how is King Qi?" ”

Moon Shadow choked back tears and replied pitifully: "Go, His Royal Highness King Qi didn't hurt the vital point, but he shed a lot of blood, Princess Qi took care of her all night, and she has been much better, but it's ......" Moon Shadow said and suddenly became speechless and stopped.

"But what? If you have something to say, don't babble. ”

"I heard that the assassin had been caught, and His Royal Highness interrogated him overnight, and the assassin said that it was Princess Qi's own meaning, saying that she was unwilling to marry King Qi, so she hired robbers herself...... The emperor was furious and had already ordered someone to go to King Qi's mansion to get people......"

Ye Jin got up suddenly: "Moon Shadow, I'll go out, you are guarding in Lengwu Palace, looking at Bamboo Shadow, and I'll deal with it when I come back." ”

Hastily explained a few words to Moon Shadow, Ye Jin went straight to the palace gate, only to find that she didn't know where King Qi's mansion was when she got out of the palace, and was about to find someone to ask, when there was a sudden commotion ahead, the crowd retreated to both sides of the street in panic, a group of officers and soldiers were escorted by a few people to face each other, Ye Jin stood in the middle of the empty road very conspicuous.

The leader of the officers and soldiers was a discerning man, and quickly dismounted, and came to her to say goodbye.

"Humble Qin Ji to the crown princess to say goodbye."

Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Jin saw a familiar face, Yun Jing's personal maid, she was escorted by officers and soldiers, panicked and embarrassed, and saw Ye Jin shouting as if she had seen a savior: "Princess, save our young lady!" Please! ”
