Chapter 254: Salvia
Updated: >
The atmosphere in the bedroom of the Feng Dynasty Palace was a little weird, and everyone was watching Xiao Ruo with fear as he put the medicinal soup in his hand into his mouth. The heavy breath and the flowing air began to become viscous.
Xiao Ruo took a sip, closed his eyes slightly and felt the bitterness in his mouth. Just in an instant, Xiao Ruo suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at Le'er, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, his eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
Le'er was already nervous and didn't know what to do, but suddenly saw Xiao Ruowang coming over, and suddenly felt exhausted. What used to be just kneeling on the ground has now become kneeling. She's not weak-hearted, she's really not weak-hearted. Because she knew very well that she was not doing anything. Who is it, who is trying to frame her, who is it
Le'er swept over everyone in the dormitory, and suddenly found that everyone was so suspicious. It was only when she came back to her senses and noticed the emperor sitting on the edge of the phoenix not far away that she finally knew what she should do at the moment.
"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the slave and maid have not done anything, the slave and maid have really done nothing" A hoarse begging for mercy, one by one resounded through the palace, Le'er just wanted to tell the master that she was innocent.
But will anyone believe her?
"Dumb girl, that medicine, that medicine, what's wrong" Xie Danniang's face was full of panic, and her hands tightly grasped the bright yellow around her, as if she wanted to get some strength from above and support her courage to listen to the answer.
Lan Shikang felt Xie Danniang's trembling all over his body, and in addition to worrying, he was more of an unquenchable anger: "Saying" this is naturally for Xiao Ruo. But Lan Shikang's eyes were like two poisonous snakes, staring closely at Le'er who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly.
"Back to the emperor, although the slave maid is not good at medicine, she has also taken countless medicinal materials since she was a child, so she has some feelings in terms of discrimination. Among the fetal pills that Niangniang took just now, there is a traditional Chinese medicine called salvia. This herb has a bitter taste, cool nature, has the effect of invigorating blood and regulating menstruation, clearing the heart and removing troubles, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, and is naturally of great benefit to ordinary people. It's just that anyone who has read some medical books should know that this medicine is a poison for pregnant women. In mild cases, miscarriage occurs; If it is heavy, then one corpse has two lives" Speaking of the latter, Xiao Ruo put the fetal pill aside and knelt on the ground.
"The head of the Chuan Tai Hospital." Lan Shikang's eyes had gradually narrowed into a straight line, but the evil aura exuded from his body was enough to force all the palace maids and eunuchs present to kneel down and kowtow, not daring to raise their heads.
It didn't take long for Gonggong Zhang to hurry over with the head of the hospital. Before he could salute and say hello, Lan Shikang had already pointed to the bowl of fetal pills that Xiao Ruo had tasted and said, "You, go and taste it." ”
Being able to bother Gonggong Zhang to summon him personally, the head of the courtyard knew that today was not a trivial matter. Entering the dormitory, the heavy atmosphere verified his idea. But at this time, where can he want to ignore the fact that his breath is unsteady for a long time, the head of the courtyard stepped forward a few steps, picked up the fetal pills on the ground, scooped a small spoonful and put it in his mouth.
"There is no doubt that this medicine should be prescribed by the Tai Hospital, but" The head of the hospital was full of doubts, but he didn't know if what he had detected just now was wrong.
Seeing Lan Shikang looking over, the head of the courtyard didn't dare to hesitate any longer, put down the medicine bowl, bowed down and continued: "Please forgive the emperor for being rude, but dare to ask the emperor if this medicine can be the fetal medicine used by the imperial concubine."
"Yes, it's the fetal medicine used in the palace," Xie Danniang replied as she looked at the head of the courtyard eagerly. It's like a drowning man who finally grabbed a straw on the water.
"Dare to ask Niangniang, did Niangniang take this thing just now" The head of the courtyard suddenly looked a little anxious, and stepped forward to ask.
"I used it, but this palace thought it tasted bitter, so I only used a small sip." The look on Xie Danniang's face was about to cry.
"The minister is offended." The head of the courtyard arched his hand towards Lan Shikang and Xie Danniang, stepped forward quickly, and reached out to the meridians of Xie Danniang's wrist.
It's not that he's fearless, and it's not that anyone borrowed him a leopard guts to eat. It's just that if something happens to the imperial concubine Niangniang in front of him at this time, he still has to come to see him. Instead of waiting for the imperial concubine to have any symptoms before treatment, it is better to find out now, just in case.
At this time, Queen Jiang Ruyue hurriedly rushed over from outside the palace with Mama Fang and others, and after blessing Lan Shikang, she said eagerly: "A palace maid came to the palace to tell that the emperor ordered Gonggong Zhang to invite the head of the courtyard to come over, but something happened to my sister."
"The head of the courtyard is taking the pulse, so let's sit on the side first." Although Lan Shikang's face was a little ugly, the tone of his voice was still plain, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Ruyue nodded, and sat down on the side according to her words. When she turned her gaze to Le'er, who was kneeling in the middle of the dormitory, her whole heart suddenly jumped, and it almost jumped out of her throat.
Seeing that the queen was looking at her, Le'er didn't dare to say anything, so she had to look at her. I hope that the queen will say two good words for her for the sake of her usefulness. After all, she really didn't do anything. Who knows how there would suddenly be more blind Dan staff officers in that medicinal soup to harm the master, and plot to kill the future prince of the Lan Dynasty, even if she was given ten guts, she wouldn't dare to do it.
The queen was shocked, and when Mama Fang saw Le'er, she was not shocked. Mama Fang and Jiang Ruyue looked at each other for a moment, and shook their heads gently, wanting to comfort Jiang Ruyue. After all, she had only met Na Le'er once, and all she thought about was to let Na Le'er help them keep an eye on Xie Danniang's every move. Now they only know that the emperor has sent the head of the courtyard, but they don't know what happened. In such an unclear situation, it is better to wait with peace of mind.
These three people, pleading for mercy, frightened for fright, and appeased, didn't know that Lan Shikang had been staring at their every move when the queen came in.
Thinking of what Xie Danniang said, this palace maid was promoted by the queen for her, and now that there is a problem with this decoction, Lan Shikang's first reaction will naturally think of Jiang Ruyue. But he didn't understand that the prince was going to be fostered in the name of the queen in the future, why did the queen still make dangerous moves, she had to cause Xie Danniang and the fetus in her womb to die without a place to be buried
For Jiang Ruyue, this matter is naturally of no benefit except for being able to vent her anger. Lan Shikang's suspicion of her has also decreased a lot. It's just that when Lan Shikang saw Jiang Ruyue, Mama Fang, and Le'er's eye movements, he had to increase his suspicions. Just because, in itself, he is a suspicious person.
If it doesn't matter, why didn't the palace maid who decocted the medicine ask for her master, but put her hope on the queen If the queen really didn't do anything, why did the look on her face panic appear when she saw the palace maid
Lan Shikang's eyes were closed, and everything that had just happened in front of him appeared in his mind. Some things, even if he thought it was impossible, but in the end, they came true.
Xiao Ruo lowered her head and knelt on the edge of the phoenix couch. Because no one could see her face, no one could pay attention to that bright smile. The opening of this scene is really good
The head of the courtyard took a step back, bowed to Lan Shikang and said, "If you go back to the emperor, there is a medicinal herb called salvia in the bowl of fetal medicine of Niangniang. This herb has the effect of invigorating blood, and is not suitable for pregnant women to take it, which is easy to cause slippery fetus. So Niangniang just took a small sip, and at this time, Niangniang's pulse was normal, and she couldn't see anything wrong. ”
According to ordinary women, the amount of salvia in that bowl of fetal pills is actually very small, and even if the tocolytic pills are drunk, there will only be some signs of miscarriage, and it is impossible to cause a slippery fetus. But this drinker, but the emperor's favorite concubine, and the future prince in his stomach, he didn't dare to say that the small sip that Niangniang drank was completely fine.
The words of the head of the courtyard and the words of Xiao Ruo are completely consistent. However, who wanted to murder the fetus in the womb of the imperial concubine, and put the salvia into the fetal medicine of the imperial concubine
"Your Majesty, the slave maid just put the fetal medicine retrieved from the Tai Hospital into the medicine jar and decocted it as usual, and I don't know what salvia is in the medicine, Your Majesty" Le'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, trying to gain trust.
Originally, the head of the hospital just wanted to wait on the sidelines, and had no intention of interfering in this matter. Ke Le'er's words suddenly made his face tighten: "The presumptuous little palace maid dares to speak wildly," as he spoke, the head of the hospital bowed to Lan Shikang and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang's fetal medicine is indeed prepared by the Tai Hospital, but it is a matter of the master, each medicine has been checked by several imperial doctors to ensure that the medication is correct, and it is impossible to put medicinal materials such as salvia into the fetal medicine." Please also ask the emperor to be clear."
The harem conspiracy, there is no reason to ask him to get involved in the hospital. Whether it was someone from the hospital who mistakenly put salvia into the fetal pill, he absolutely couldn't admit it.
"The head of the courtyard is waiting for the concubine here, and it is inconvenient to leave. Gonggong Zhang, go to the Tai Hospital to find a person, take out the medicine residue in the medicine jar of decoction of fetal medicine, and carefully check whether there is salvia. Lan Shikang said with a rather unkind face.
After Gonggong Zhang left, Lan Shikang looked at Le'er who was kneeling on the ground, and said in an unusually dark tone: "When you decoction of tocolytic pills, have you left?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the slave maid is staring at the fetal medicine all the time, for fear that something will go wrong, the slave and the maid really have no second heart for the imperial concubine, the emperor" At this time, where does Le'er still have any scruples about whether she can go to the queen's side to serve in the future, the most important thing at this time is to save her life
"Then before this fetal pill is sent to the bedroom of Feng Dynasty Palace, it can pass through the hands of others" Lan Shikang's face darkened.
"No, the slave and maid brought it all the way." Le'er gritted her teeth and shook her head in reply.
