Chapter 157: Empress Chu is poisoned
In Zhongcui Palace, Queen Chu was lying on the bed, unconscious, and her face was as white as paper.
Emperor Yun and Yun Qingyan stood aside, and after the imperial doctor finished taking the pulse, Emperor Yun immediately asked.
"What's wrong with the Queen?"
"Your Majesty, the queen's pulse is very chaotic, as if she suddenly had an emergency."
"What emergency?" Yun Qingyan immediately asked.
"This ......" the imperial doctor hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth in a hesitant manner, "I also ask the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the eldest princess to forgive me, because the pulse of the queen mother is too chaotic, so Wei Chen can't diagnose what the emergency is for a while." ”
"It's ridiculous, as a doctor, I can't even diagnose the symptoms now!" Emperor Yun frowned and reprimanded.
"Please also ask the emperor to forgive your sins." The Imperial Physician immediately knelt down and spoke in fear.
"How should the queen mother's symptoms be alleviated now, and what is the cause of these symptoms?"
"This ......," the Imperial Doctor thought for a moment, "according to the pulse of the queen mother, it may be that she has been restless during this time, so it has affected her health." It's just that this disease is really a bit menacing, and if you really want to find out what the cause is, I'm afraid it will take a little time. ”
Although he had a faint guess in his heart, but after all, the other party was the queen mother, and his identity was extraordinary, if he couldn't confirm it, he naturally didn't dare to say anything.
"In that case, what should we do now?"
"Please rest assured, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Wei Chen will immediately prescribe some soothing and calming prescriptions now, and give it to the queen mother first. In this way, it can help the queen mother stabilize the pulse. ”
"Then what are you still doing here, why don't you hurry up and prescribe medicine!" Emperor Yun frowned and spoke.
"Yes, Wechen obeys." The imperial doctor hurriedly got up and hurriedly went to prescribe medicine.
Yun Qingyan looked at Empress Chu who was lying on the bed, and then looked at Emperor Yun, "Father, uncle, they are still waiting outside, I'll go and tell them the news first." ”
Just when they were about to leave, Empress Chu suddenly fainted, and Empress Chu naturally couldn't rest assured, she didn't leave immediately, and now she was waiting in the lobby of Zhong Cui Palace.
"Okay." Emperor Yun nodded.
Yun Qingyan left the room, but he didn't immediately go to the lobby, but went to the outer room where the imperial doctor prescribed medicine.
"Eldest princess, this is the prescription, Wei Chen immediately ordered someone to go and grab the medicine now."
"Okay." Yun Qingyan got the prescription, found Qiu'er, and handed the prescription to her, "You take the prescription now and hurry to the pharmacy to grab the medicine." ”
Qiu'er hurried forward with the prescription, but Yun Qingyan still stayed outside, looking at the imperial doctor.
"Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, you are ......"
"Imperial Physician Hu, did you have anything to hide in front of your father just now?"
"Eldest princess, what are you talking about, where do you dare to hide anything." Imperial Physician Hu hurriedly spoke.
"Then about the sudden emergency of the queen mother, does Mrs. Hu really have no idea in her heart? Or do you have some vague guesses, but you just don't dare to say it in front of your father? Looking at Imperial Physician Hu's expression just now, she guessed that she was afraid that Imperial Physician Hu was hiding something.
Listening to Yun Qingyan's words, the expression on Imperial Physician Hu's face became more and more entangled.
"This, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, there are some things that Weichen doesn't dare to speculate about, and everything will have to wait until a careful diagnosis to get the results."
"Imperial Doctor Hu, you can tell the guess in your heart, whether it is right or wrong, the eldest princess will definitely not pursue it. And if Imperial Physician Hu is not at ease, I can also promise you that I will never tell my father what you said. ”
Although she also knew that Empress Chu had been restless during this time, even if it was really difficult to sleep and caused physical problems, it should not be as serious as Empress Chu.
Imperial Physician Hu hesitated for a moment, looked at Yun Qingyan, and after a long while, he spoke: "Since the eldest prince wants to ask, then Weichen doesn't dare to hide it. Looking at the pulse of the queen's mother, it looks like she has been poisoned. ”
"Poisoned?" Yun Qingyan was shocked.
"That's right." Imperial Physician Hu nodded, "The Empress Niang's pulse is very chaotic, if it is just an ordinary emergency, I am afraid it will not become like this." It's just that it can't be found out what poison the queen mother has been caused by now, and it can't be determined just because the pulse is confused. Therefore, Weichen didn't dare to speak in front of the emperor, thinking that he would wait until the queen's current situation was a little calmer, and then diagnose it carefully to see if it was poisoning. ”
After all, the queen mother is the mother of a country and the master of the harem, and the matter of poisoning is not trivial, so you must not talk about it.
Yun Qingyan thought quickly in his heart, if Empress Chu was really poisoned, then who poisoned Empress Chu?
If it had been placed before, there would have been a Wan Guifei who had been eyeing her behind. But now that Concubine Wan is dead, there shouldn't be much contradiction between the other concubines in the harem and Queen Chu on weekdays.
What's more, there was only one concubine in this harem before, even if something really happened to Queen Chu, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the queen's position to be their turn, and it is more likely to re-select a woman with a noble status who has not left the cabinet to be the queen.
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, this matter is not because Weichen deliberately concealed the results, there is really no way to be sure, so Weichen hopes that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can keep quiet for the time being." Imperial Physician Hu looked at Yun Qingyan nervously.
"Okay." Yun Qingyan nodded, "Don't worry, Imperial Doctor Wu, I won't make a noise about this matter for the time being, but the queen mother still has to worry about you, whether it is poisoning or illness, you must ensure that the queen mother is safe and sound." ”
"Weichen obeys the order, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Qing can rest assured, Weichen will definitely do his best to treat the queen mother well."
After Imperial Physician Hu left, Yun Qingyan went to the lobby to see Chu Xiping again and told them the news.
"It's good, how can there be a sudden emergency!" Chu Xiping frowned tightly, his expression full of worry and nervousness.
"This matter has not been clarified yet, and everything needs to be looked at." Yun Qingyan paused, "Uncle, now that the queen mother is suddenly sick, I'm afraid that there is no way for me to go with you here." ”
Chu Xiping nodded, "This is naturally how it should be, now that the queen is suddenly sick, you should naturally stay and take care of it." In fact, this border pass is a long way to go, and I am also worried that you will suffer. ”
"Uncle and cousin, do you plan to stay in this imperial city for a while now?"
Chu Xiping sighed, and the crease between his eyebrows and eyes became even deeper.
"Now that the queen is suddenly sick, I naturally can't rest assured in my heart, but I have been in the imperial city for a long time before. Not to mention that there are border affairs waiting for me to deal with, and I'm afraid that the emperor will not be able to speak very well. But even if I have to leave, I have to make sure that the queen is safe and sound, so that I can relax. ”
Otherwise, how can he be at ease on the way back to the border pass!
