Chapter 29: Bergamot

"It's been three full days, and the child still hasn't woken up." In the side hall of Lanyue Palace, Princess Taiping sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the little person lying quietly on the bed, she couldn't help but raise her hand and press her temple: "Qiuyuan, do you think I did something wrong this time?" ”

"Someone deliberately did it, this is something that cannot be prevented, Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself too much." Standing aside, the afterglow of the corner of Akihara's eyes swept over the girl who had almost lost weight, and sighed slightly in his heart: "It's just that the little county lord suffered, and it is really pitiful to encounter this experience on the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet." ”

"This time, her situation is more than pitiful." Squinting her eyes, Princess Taiping stroked Tao Yao's hair, and the breath around her body became a little cold: "If it weren't for the Gao family kid who came to me in time, and found the national hand of this dynasty to treat her for the first time, I'm afraid this little girl would lose her life on the spot." ”

And even so, the situation that night can be said to be very dangerous, and the head of the Tai Hospital sacrificed his life's mastery, and only then did he use the silver needle puncture method to retain Tao Yao's breath. Then, several people took turns to fight, applying needles and needles, feeding medicines, tossing until dawn, and barely got her out of danger. As for now, it is still in the observation period, and only when Tao Yao really wakes up can she be safe, otherwise, it is not impossible for her to fall asleep and be a living dead for the rest of her life.

"Just now, Your Majesty sent someone over to ask again, and the slave and maid replied, it seems that Your Majesty is also very concerned about the little county lord." Although they were cautious at the night banquet at that time, they did not alarm anyone, and even the Tai Hospital gave a gag order, but with such a big movement, it was impossible to hide it from Wu Cao. Therefore, Princess Taiping went to Zhenguan Hall after settling down Taoyao, firstly, to explain everything in detail, and secondly, to see what the emperor's attitude was.

Under the New Year's Day, such a thing happened inexplicably, and Wu Cao was naturally not in a good mood. However, just looking at Tao Yao's physical condition, she definitely doesn't look like a person who will suddenly fall seriously ill, so the empress also attaches great importance to the investigation of this matter, and privately dispatched internal guards, not to mention, and sent her most trusted Shangguan Wan'er to visit from time to time. In Qiu Yuan's eyes, this is already a great honor, and it is even to the extent that it can be compared with Princess Taiping.

"Mother, I'm a little annoyed." Princess Taiping understands Wu Cao's thoughts very well, and the perspective of looking at these is essentially different from Qiu Yuan: "Attacking the royal lord of the royal family under her nose is obviously dissatisfied with the emperor's arrangement and wants to slap the emperor in the face." Oh, the people behind this scene are so bold that they even dare to touch the scales of the Son of Heaven. ”

"I don't know how the internal guards are investigating." Thinking of Wu Cao's overly cruel punishment methods, Qiu Yuan couldn't help but shiver: "If that person is found out, I'm afraid he will end up with a life worse than death." They deserved to have the wrong idea, and even a cute child like the little county lord could do it. ”

"According to the head of the hospital, the child was poisoned, and the poisonous gas attacked the heart, causing the blood to be unable to surge, and then caused suffocation and paralysis." Recalling the overly flustered diagnosis that night, Princess Taiping was also puzzled: "It's just that they can find out the cause but can't tell what kind of poison it is, let alone how it was used to descend on Xiao'er." It is precisely because of this that even if the internal guards turned the things used in the banquet upside down, they did not find the slightest clue, which really made people anxious.

"Then ......" Qiu Yuan frowned, and just wanted to say something more, but he heard the palace people guarding the door preaching: "Your Highness, General Gao Sheji and Gao Gongzi will meet you." ”

"Let them in." Princess Taiping stood up, straightened her clothes, and went outside to meet the father and son. After handing over Tao Yao to himself on the day of the hair, these two people never entered the palace again. Now, I chose this time to come over, I'm afraid it's not as simple as visiting, right?

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess, Your Highness Wan An!" After giving a salute, Gao Sheji and Gao Xianzhi raised their heads, and their two good-looking faces showed full tiredness, which made Princess Taiping raise her eyebrows clearly.

"If you don't have anything to do, you don't want to go to the Three Treasures Palace, it seems that you have eyebrows." The woman in a graceful and luxurious body sat upright for a long time, waiting seriously for the two below to give an answer.

Gao Sheji is a general who travels from south to north, and his experience is not comparable to that of those old people who have been detained in the hospital all their lives. The head of the hospital said that the poison was too special for them to think of, and that was just a restriction in their thinking. And the Gao family's father and son are away all the year round, of course, there is no such limitation. Therefore, she can only pin her hopes on this now.

"Yes, Weichen and Inuzi went back and looked through all kinds of classics collected in various places over the years, and also recalled the symptoms caused by many highly poisonous things, and finally found the one that best matched the signs of poisoning of the little county lord." There is already a deep crease between the eyebrows, which is obviously caused by thinking about it for too long, which makes the appearance of the Gao She Chicken instantly become a lot older: "There is a plant in the depths of the Nanzhao rainforest, called bergamot, the flower is like Guanyin, the leaf petals are dripping, the appearance is very pleasing, and the local people will often move it back to their homes for ornamental purposes." ”

"However, its stems and leaves are highly poisonous, as are the sap and splashed water droplets inside, which can cause itchy skin and even blindness if touched by mistake." After receiving Gao Sheji's words, Gao Xianzhi's face was solemn, and under his eyes, there were two blue and black imprints on his fair and jade-like complexion, which was even more thick and deep, and he didn't know how long he hadn't slept well: "And once it is ingested by mistake, it will burn the throat and the human body, and at worst, it will cause damage to the heart and veins, and the blood will not be able to surge, making people suffocate and paralyze and die." ”

With the last two words, he unconsciously lowered his voice. Because until this moment, he still remembered the terrifying scene when Tao Yao fell in front of him.

She covered her heart and told herself that she was uncomfortable, but in addition to panicking, he didn't even have the ability to save her. Almost, just a little, he was going to watch her die in front of him.

Obviously, one moment ago, she was blaming her for not relying on and trusting herself, but the next moment, the truth gave him such a cruel and direct slap. yes, why should he blame her? Xiao'er is not wrong, it is simply that he thinks he is too much, and when he doesn't recognize his current situation, he makes a lot of nonsense, and almost hurt her.

"Bergamot ......" Princess Taiping muttered this unfamiliar name, with a thoughtful expression: "It sounds like it is indeed the same as the symptoms of a child." But how is this thing used? Blatantly poisoned at the night banquet, in full view of everyone, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right? ”
