They just want to take a look at the medicinal herbs that are being boiled, so the people behind the scenes can't stand it? Princess Lian's condition is really not simple?

This is the common idea of Imperial Physician Liang and Imperial Physician Xu.

Prince Lian is not there, Princess Lian is seriously ill, just when Imperial Doctor Xu gave her pulse, she was unconscious, there is not even a person in charge of this Prince Lian's mansion, everything can only be decided by the two imperial doctors, but even the second elder is just a imperial doctor, but he still has to investigate the affairs of the inner house, and they all complain in their hearts.

Soon, the fallen mother-in-law was helped up, and Mrs. Xu ordered the maids and mother-in-law to stand aside, and he himself stepped forward and squatted down, carefully inspecting the medicinal materials scattered on the ground.

A maid stepped forward, ready to pick up the broken casserole fragments, only to hear the Imperial Doctor Liang on the side shouting: "Don't move!" ”

"Doctor, do you want to check this casserole fragment too?" The maid raised her head and glanced at Imperial Physician Liang with a pair of timid eyes.

"Naturally! There's everything in this room that has to do with medicinal herbs! None of you can touch it! Imperial Physician Liang said solemnly.

The maid groaned, and stood up, but her eyes were lowered again to look at the debris on the ground.

Imperial Physician Liang's heart moved, and he immediately said loudly: "There is no need for so many people here, you all retreat!" ”

But when his voice fell, no one in the room moved.

"Why, you're going to let the Imperial Guards from outside come in and invite you, aren't you?" Imperial Doctor Liang said with a cold face.

As soon as these words came out, the mother-in-law who had just fallen immediately said loudly: "Doctor, can't you say this?" We are serving the princess, and although you are the imperial doctor, you are also men! I'm afraid it's not like you're the only one left in this room, right? ”

"yes, yes! For the sake of our princess's reputation, we can't quit! As soon as these words came out, the maids and ladies on the side began to echo them.

"You are presumptuous!" When Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Liang heard this, they trembled with anger, they were ordered to investigate the case, but they didn't expect to be said so unbearable by these maids!

The maids did not refute, but no one retreated.

Imperial Physician Xu had a cold face, turned around and walked out.

Imperial Physician Liang immediately said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Imperial Physician Xu didn't reply: "I'll send someone to inform the emperor and ask him to send a few experienced grandmothers from the queen mother to investigate this matter!" ”

As soon as these words came out, at least half of the maids in the house suddenly changed their faces!

As soon as the queen's people come, I'm afraid that nothing will become something!

Now, the mother-in-law who insulted the two imperial doctors loudly regretted that her intestines were about to be broken.

"Good! You go! I'm here to watch! When Imperial Physician Liang heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face.

Imperial Physician Xu came to the outside of the palace, found the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and told him everything that had just happened in the house

self-suggestion.

"Good! Imperial Doctor Xu, I will definitely send someone to report this matter to the emperor truthfully! When the commander of the guards heard this, he immediately agreed. As he spoke, he called a guard and told him to go back to the palace to report. Ya Zhao Zhuang number.

Only then did Imperial Physician Xu return to the house.

The few maids and ladies in the house had already lost their arrogance just now, and they didn't dare to say that the two imperial doctors were men, so they just stood aside and let the two imperial doctors investigate.

Imperial Physician Xu returned to Princess Lian's bedside and continued to take the pulse.

And Imperial Doctor Liang squatted down and picked up all the medicinal herbs and casserole fragments that fell on the ground one by one, but they were placed separately. When he had finished inspecting all the corners of the room to make sure nothing was missing, he sat down in the outer hall and began to examine the things carefully and in the same way.

Some of the maids had a twinkle in their eyes, but none of them moved.

Just kidding, all the people standing outside are the Royal Foresters, and whoever dares to do it will be killing themselves!

An hour later.

There was a commotion outside the Changchun courtyard. Soon, there were many footsteps coming this way.

Imperial Physician Xu had already stood up from the princess's bed and walked over, and Imperial Physician Liang also put down the medicinal herbs in his hand.

Not long after, two old ladies with serious faces and extraordinary extravagance walked in from outside, followed by countless eunuchs and palace maids behind the two people.

Imperial Physician Xu recognized that this old lady was the grandmother in the queen's palace, and the other was Aunt Jingyue.

It turned out that when the guards entered the palace to report the news to the emperor, Concubine Shu had been staying at the door of the imperial study, and when she heard that the emperor was going to send the queen's grandmother to investigate the matter, she immediately lied and desperately wanted to break in.

The emperor had no choice but to let Concubine Shu in.

As soon as Concubine Shu entered the door, she knelt down, and wept and appealed to the emperor about her son's grievances, and said that she must not only let the queen's people investigate the matter, but also need to find another impartial person to investigate.

The emperor was so entangled by her that he had no choice but to send someone to Cining Palace to borrow Aunt Jingyue.

Therefore, there is a situation where the two grandmothers came to this Changchun Courtyard together.

As soon as she entered the door, Aunt Jingyue directly said to the maids and women standing on both sides: "Okay, you all retreat and stay in the courtyard!" ”

She has been by the Queen Mother's side for a long time, and she naturally has a majestic momentum on her body, which is caused by the fact that she often accompanies the Queen Mother. Although the grandmother on the side said that she was the person next to the queen, she didn't dare to confront Aunt Jingyue head-on at this time. Not to mention these maids and ladies in Prince Lian's mansion.

"Yes! Slaves obey! Although everyone could not guess who this majestic grandmother was, they all withdrew with each other. Some of them had deep disappointment in their eyes

Come. But he kept his head down and was not noticed.

After sending away these eyesore maids, the two grandmothers came into the house and greeted Xu Liang, the two imperial doctors.

"I'm really sorry, I'm sorry to trouble the two of you to run this trip in person." Imperial Physician Xu said apologetically.

Aunt Jingyue smiled slightly, and said unconcernedly: "What's this, both of them are doctors who heal and save people, and they don't understand these twists and turns in the back house, so they don't need to blame themselves at all." ”

Mama pursed her lips and smiled, looked around, and asked, "Two imperial doctors, you came early, have you investigated and found any results?" ”

Imperial Physician Xu opened his mouth first: "Princess Lian suffers from asthma, which seems to have been a problem since childhood, if she had been raised well, she would not have become terminally ill at this stage, but you look at her, she is as thin as firewood, and her eye sockets are deep, which is clearly a sign of dying soon." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to Imperial Physician Liang and the two grandmothers to come to the bed.

Sure enough, the woman lying on the bed was very thin, although she was asleep, her eye sockets were deep, and it was indeed as Imperial Doctor Xu said, this was the appearance of a dying person.

Imperial Doctor Xu continued: "I suspect that someone added something to the medicine she drank, so it caused her body to weaken rapidly, a year ago, the old man was invited by Prince Lian to come here to check the pulse of Princess Lian, at that time her body was far less weak than it is now, at that time, I had asserted that she had at least ten years to live, if nothing happened." ”

This is a tactful remark, but it has confirmed the rumors outside.

Jingyue and Mama were a little surprised and smacked.

Imperial Physician Xu turned to Imperial Physician Liang and said, "Imperial Physician Liang, I remember that you also checked the pulse of Prince Lian before, didn't you?" Would you like to take another look? What I say alone is not convincing. ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, Imperial Physician Liang nodded again and again: "Half a year ago, I also checked the pulse of Prince Lian, but I just looked for it, and there doesn't seem to be the one I opened half a year ago in that pile of prescriptions!" ”

"It doesn't matter! Imperial Physician Liang still has a pulse for Princess Lian first! Imperial Physician Xu said slowly: "Regardless of whether there is a prescription to testify to, Prince Lian's body is here, it is just a simple asthma, and it will never kill people in a short period of time, there must be something strange in this." ”

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Liang nodded, and said, "What you said is very true." Then he turned around and sat down in front of the hospital bed, stretched out two fingers to catch the pulse of Prince Lian.

At the same time, Prince Lian Xuanyuanshu, who was more than ten miles away in the suburbs of Beijing, also received a flying pigeon letter.

He opened the letter and looked at it at a glance, his face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "This is a trap! Deliberately diverted me so that I could investigate the conspiracy on the matter! ”

"Then, Lord Wang, what should we do now? is to continue to the next county,

Or go back? The lieutenant general who was following Xuanyuan Shu immediately asked out loud. He had never seen Xuanyuan Shu's face so ugly. "Nonsense! Naturally, hurry back to Beijing! Hopefully it can be saved! Xuanyuan Shu scolded his subordinates with a dark face.

"Yes! Rajah! Everyone lowered their heads and responded, and no one dared to look at Xuanyuan Shu's face.

Soon, the group turned around and returned to the capital at a gallop. Xuanyuan Shu had a black face the whole time.

At the same time, inside the Changchun Temple. The results of the investigation of the two imperial doctors, Jingyue and others have also made progress.

"The old man has checked, and there is no problem with the decoction and medicine that Prince and Princess Lian drink on weekdays, and even the prescription." Imperial Physician Liang said slowly: "The casserole that just boiled the medicine was broken by the next person, and the old man in it has also carefully checked the medicinal materials, and there is no problem." ”

When Aunt Jingyue heard this, her eyes flashed, and she couldn't help asking, "No problem?" ”

"Yes!" Imperial Physician Liang said firmly.

Mama Qi asked on the side: "Dare to ask the imperial doctor, what you said is that there is no problem with the herbs and prescriptions, right?" Have you carefully examined this jar? ”

"Even the medicine jar has to be checked?" Imperial Physician Liang couldn't help but be a little surprised, these grandmothers in the palace were really unwilling to let go of the slightest clue!

"Yes! Of course you have to check! Aunt Jingyue nodded and said, "Everything that is directly related to Prince and Princess Lian's daily diet." Bother the two imperial doctors to carefully inspect it! ”

When Xu Liang heard this, they both nodded, and then continued to check, one studying the broken medicine casserole, and the other continued to search in the room. Prince Lian eats, drinks tea, and drinks medicine on weekdays, and all the utensils are checked from scratch one by one.

Jingyue walked over and sat down on the edge of Princess Lian's bed, she took a closer look at the sleeping Princess Lian, nodded and said: "About a year ago, I also saw Prince Lian, at that time, although she was delicate, but she could still participate in the grand ceremonies in the palace, and she was not so thin, I didn't expect it to be only a year." That's what she became. ”

"Isn't it! The slave maid had also seen Prince Lian before, and at that time she also had meat on her cheeks, not like this, which made people sad to see. Mama Qi walked over, stood on the edge of the bed and glanced at it, and echoed.

When Jing Yue heard this, she sighed, turned to the palace maids standing on the side and ordered: "You go to the courtyard to find a maid who was originally serving in this house, and let her continue to decoct the medicine, this princess Lian is still sick!" can't delay her time to drink medicine because of the investigation. ”

"Yes! Aunt! Soon, a palace maid answered aloud, turned and went out of the house.

That's when it happened. Mama Qi didn't know what to think, but suddenly her eyes lit up and she followed.

In the courtyard, those maids and mothers of Prince Lian's mansion are all together

They all stood there bored. The palace maid and Mama Qi came out together, and instantly pulled everyone's attention over.

"You go alone, and then boil medicine for the princess!"

"Wait!" As soon as the palace maid's words came out, Mama Qi stepped forward, and after looking around at everyone, her face was as deep as water: "Your princess uses medicine on weekdays, it's not a jar, right?" There's always something to spare, isn't it? ”

"Back to Mama, there are still two jars to spare." In the crowd, a little maid timidly asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, she attracted the angry eyes of several older mothers-in-law next to her. The next moment, another grandmother stepped forward with a smile and said: "Back to Mama, there were originally two medicine jars for backup, but the head of the previous house said that the princess's jar of medicine was used for too long, and I am afraid that it will not be good for the princess's health, so she has thrown away the old medicine jar, and today I was originally going to use the new medicine jar to decoct the medicine." ”

When Mama Qi heard this, her face immediately turned cold, she was the most majestic mama in the queen's palace, she had been used to being high over the years, when had she ever been questioned by a low-level mother-in-law? She snorted coldly and said, "It turns out that the subordinates of Prince Lian's Mansion are so unruly!" Did I ask you? Answer: What answer? Mama Xuanyuan, slap your mouth! ”

As soon as the words fell, two strong mothers-in-law immediately came out behind Mama Qi, pulling the mother-in-law who had just interjected and pumped her mouth fiercely, the people who came out of the palace were ruthless, Xuanyuan Mama and others were holding a long piece of bamboo with a thickness of one inch in their hands, and when they pulled it down, the mother-in-law's three front teeth fell out, and there was blood in her mouth.

But Xuanyuan Mama and the others should have beaten ten times before stopping.

When she let go of her hand, the woman immediately collapsed to the ground softly, almost dying of pain!

The rest of the maids and ladies around were all horrified, and they couldn't say a word with their mouths open, and some of them even began to shake their legs. At this moment, they finally realized that these people in front of them were sent by the palace, and they were familiar with the battle between the women of the back house, and they were not afraid at all! It's not at all the Imperial Doctor Xu and Imperial Doctor Liang who could be sent away by them in just a few words.

Mama Qi looked at everyone's frightened eyes, the corners of her mouth hooked, and slowly showed a smile. She knew that this trick to kill chickens and monkeys really played a role, and these people at the bottom would never dare to come out with any moths anymore.

Immediately after, she walked up to the little maid who had just spoken, looked directly at her and asked, "What's your name?" What do you do on a daily basis? ”

"Back to Mama's words, the slave maid's name is Xiaocao, and she is a second-class maid in the lady's room, and she does some work to clean up her clothes and jewelry on weekdays." When the little maid saw the mother-in-law being beaten, she couldn't help but be even more frightened at this time.

Seeing this, Mama Qi's voice slowed down a bit, and said, "In that case, you are serving in the lady's room." ”

Xiaocao nodded immediately.

Mama Qi asked again: "

You just said that there are two spare jars, do you know where to put them? ”

When Xiaocao heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at Mama Qi hesitantly, but she pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.

Mama Qi was not angry either, she continued to ask in a softer tone, "You know where it is, right?" Your wife's condition is a little strange, as a maid, don't you want to find out the truth, and then let your master get better quickly? ”

This last sentence played a decisive role, Xiaocao listened to it, and her eyes lit up: "Can our princess's illness really get better?" ”

Mama Qi is not a doctor, and she doesn't know if the two doctors Xu Liang can save Princess Lian, who has already stepped into the ghost gate with one foot, so it's not good to promise anything to Xiaocao, she muttered: "As long as the root of the disease is found, I think it will get better." ”

"Slave maid, go get those two medicine jars!" As soon as Xiaocao heard this, she immediately became excited: "Just now Mama Wang said that she was wrong, the medicine jar was not thrown away!" It's just that there are a lot of new medicine jars in the house. ”

"Mama Wang?" When Mama Qi heard this, she immediately turned her head and glanced at the mother-in-law who had just been beaten and almost fainted, and secretly remembered the name.

"Yes!" Xiaocao nodded vigorously.

Mama Qi smiled slightly, and then called a palace maid and a guard to follow Xiaocao to fetch the other two medicine jars.

The other maids of Prince Lian's Mansion who were standing on the side and silently paying attention to this side all had different expressions when they saw this scene.

After Mama Qi finished speaking, she watched Xiaocao and the guards leave the courtyard, then turned her head and frowned and glanced at the other people in the courtyard.

As soon as they met her gaze, everyone lowered their heads.

Mama Qi turned around and instructed the guards, "You all be in good spirits!" Look at them carefully, no one is allowed to collude, they are not allowed to whisper, and they are not allowed to go out of this courtyard, you know? ”
