Chapter 72: Poison (1)
After saying this, someone outside rushed over, it was the internal supervisor next to Concubine Xiang, and he said in a panic: "The emperor is not good, Concubine Xiang has fainted......
"How so!" Tuoba Hong immediately got up and followed the inner supervisor to Concubine Xiang's bedroom.
Lin Yuan followed behind the emperor with some doubts, she really didn't understand how Concubine Xiang fainted at this time. Could it be that after learning that he was exonerated from his crime, he still wanted to beg the emperor to kill him? Or even pretending to be sick to this extent?
It's unlikely. According to Concubine Xiang's mind, it was too late for her to be busy making amends to herself at this time to recover the loss in the emperor's heart, how could she continue to ask the emperor to die unreasonably?
There are a total of five floors in the Invitation Moon Building, the first floor is for entertaining, the second floor is mostly used for feasting and drinking with the emperor, and the third floor is the dormitory. After Lin Yuan followed the emperor up to the third floor, she saw that Concubine Xiang was sitting on the ground, and a group of palace maids next to her were lifting the bed with their hands and feet, and the room was in chaos.
Tuoba Hong exclaimed: "What's going on! ”
Shangguan Li was still conscious, she saw the emperor, and she also saw Lin Yuan behind the emperor. At this time, she no longer had the heart to think about the grievances between herself and Lin Yuan, she stretched out her hand to Tuoba Hong with difficulty, and muttered, "Your Majesty ......"
Tuoba Hong stepped forward and hugged her, turning his head and shouting for the imperial doctor to come to treat her. The three imperial doctors all rushed forward, the palace maid panicked and covered a handkerchief on Concubine Xiang's wrist, Imperial Physician Li stretched out his hand and pressed it, and after a while, his head was dripping with cold sweat, and he said to Tuoba Hong: "Back to the emperor, Niangniang's heart is extremely weak, and it should be ...... the oil is exhausted."
"Running out of oil?" Tuoba Hong laughed angrily: "My beloved concubine just fell ill, and you said that she couldn't be saved?" You start by saying that she is seriously ill! ”
"Wei Chen is only a shallow learner......," Imperial Doctor Li was kicked down by Tuoba Hong in the middle of speaking.
There was no need for the emperor's orders, the internal supervisors who ran errands had already rushed out in a panic and went to the internal hospital to ask Lord Liang, who had superb medical skills.
Concubine Xiang's bulging lower abdomen lined her pale as paper, and at a glance it was a little terrifying, and the life in her womb would pass at any time. Although Imperial Physician Li and the two medical officers had no way to save them, there was no one available in this room except for them at the moment, and Tuoba Hong could only endure his anger and order them to come over and do their best.
Imperial Doctor Li trembled and took a long needle wrapped in a cloth bag, knowing that he couldn't even find out the cause of Concubine Xiang's mother, but he still wanted to be a dead horse doctor, and pierced the acupuncture points of the pacemaker heart pulse one by one, just thinking about delaying Concubine Xiang's life for the time being. He lamented miserably in his heart thousands of times, what kind of evil god did he bump into today, first Bai Xiaozhu and then Concubine Xiang...... Finally, the emperor is not to blame for the matter of the little white master, if the auspicious concubine in front of him has three long and two short, his whole family will have to go to the market.
Who knows what the cause of this auspicious concubine is Niangniang, this palace is simply rampant with ghosts, and there are still things I don't recognize after practicing medicine for 20 years, amazing, amazing...... The highest position that a healer can achieve is the royal physician, what a great honor to be able to serve the saints. But when I really came to the palace, I realized that the doctor here was not doing anything to save people......
The inner hospital was not close to the Lintoe Palace, and Liang Yuan judged that it would take at least a quarter of an hour for an elderly person to run over. But this time, Concubine Xiang's illness was menacing, and after a while, her face was already pale and terrifying, and her wheezing voice became weaker and weaker.
Takubahiro felt that the body wrapped in his hands was slowly losing its body temperature. He knows that there are many capable people in the harem, and naturally there are many rare and toxic drugs in the world, and over the years, it is not uncommon for those who have changed from a living life to a corpse in an instant, and many "diseases" cannot be saved by doctors. Now the person in his arms doesn't have much time left.
Tuoba Hong never wants Concubine Xiang to make a mistake, whether it is for personal affairs or the overall situation of the world. In terms of personal affairs, Tuoba Hong doesn't want to lose a woman who has won his heart the most. He will always remember that when the baby boy she gave birth to died three years ago, she said to him with tears in her eyes, "The concubine will not embarrass the emperor." He likes her stunning appearance, and he prefers her understanding of the general situation and understanding of advance and retreat.
In terms of the overall situation, General Weibei, the patriarch of the Shangguan clan and the father of Concubine Xiang, has no sons, only two daughters who have captivated the country and the city. If the eldest daughter died at this time, and was poisoned and died, the Shangguan family would not give up, and they didn't know how much compensation they had to ask the royal family...... General Shangguan's three nephews and several brothers all served in the Sixth Ministry, and if they took this opportunity to seek a position of real power from Yipin Shangshu, the royal family would not be able to give face.
Although the queen's background is higher than that of Concubine Xiang, she can't bear that Concubine Xiang is a general, if the royal affairs make the Shangguan family dissatisfied, how can the strength of a military general clan be feared. If General Weibei still has a daughter, it is easy to say, and then he will be admitted to the palace to seal the concubine, but unfortunately he doesn't even have his own niece at home, only distant relatives...... How can this satisfy them?
Shangguan Li can't die.
Thinking like this, Tuoba Hong's hands became tighter and tighter.
But the verdict of the Liang court has not yet arrived. Seeing Imperial Doctor Li shaking his hands and pricking needles, he became more and more irritable in his heart, wanting to be angry but afraid of delaying Concubine Xiang.
When he was almost holding back his anger, suddenly, a thin palace maid squeezed into the crowd. She knelt in front of the emperor and begged: "Please let the slave and maid give it a try." ”
Tuoba Hong frowned, and Yao Fusheng next to him immediately stepped forward and threw the dust on the back of the palace maid, and reprimanded: "The holy driver dares to come over here to cause trouble!" If you delay your mother, your whole clan will not be able to save their lives! ”
But the palace maid still refused to retreat, and insisted: "Slave maid Rui'er, let the slave maid come to save the mother." ”
Tuoba Hong originally wanted someone to drag her down, but seeing that she was so persistent, he looked at her a few more times. He didn't have a deep impression of this palace maid, he only remembered that she was Concubine Xiang's side, and she was not a powerful palace maid. But now Concubine Xiang is in danger, Imperial Doctor Li is helpless, and Liang Yuanju is still running on the road...... Tuoba Hong's brows tightened even tighter, but he opened his mouth to ask the palace maid Rui'er: "The imperial doctor can't do anything, what can you do with the palace maid?" ”
Rui'er heard that there was hope, and hurriedly said: "The slave maid also practices medicine at home, and he knows a little about ......."
"In the current situation, as long as you know how to heal, you can try it, and try to reward your father's title." Tuoba Hong interrupted her: "It's just that if you have harmful intentions......"
"Lord Li, Lord Du, and Lord Feng are all here, and the slaves and maids will let the adults see everything they do!" Although Rui'er was young, she was not afraid at all when she heard the emperor's cruel question. Tuoba Hong saw that she spoke clearly and convincingly, thinking that this palace maid was unusual, and seeing that Concubine Xiang really couldn't afford it, he nodded in agreement.
Rui'er pressed her finger on Concubine Xiang's wrist under the gaze of the people in the room, and with her other hand, she found three small white bottles with long necks around her waist. Shangguan Li looked at the person with half-closed eyes, and when he saw that it was her, he actually used all his strength to clasp the bed and said word by word: "No, you quickly step down......"
"Mother, it's too late!" Rui'er bowed her head and persuaded her: "You can't wait for Lord Liang, and even if the adult comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you." There are many things that a healer can't do! ”
"But ......"
"Niangniang, it's already this time, let's give up the small and protect the big."
Shangguan Li glanced down at his abdomen, but saw that the cage skirt under him was slowly penetrating with a dazzling bright red. She knew that she couldn't wait any longer, so she was ruthless and finally nodded to Rui'er.
Rui'er immediately opened the porcelain bottle in her hand, took out a black pill the size of a little finger cap and fed it to Shangguan Li, and said to Yao Fusheng and other minions: "Please open all the doors and windows in the room and extinguish all incense and candles." ”
Yao Fusheng hesitated for a moment, and Tuoba Hong said, "Listen to her." ”
"Your Majesty, Emperor. Also, this recipe asked Imperial Doctor Li to look at it, and if it was okay, he would immediately go to boil the medicine. Rui'er had already written a prescription when she was talking to Concubine Xiang, and she refused to delay for a moment.
Imperial Physician Li took the prescription and looked at it twice, and couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "The girl is really a strange person...... Weichen Wucai can't say the beauty of this recipe, but it should be an antidote. With that, he asked Medical Officer Feng to decoct the medicine himself.
Imperial Physician Li, as an imperial doctor, said such words of appreciation and even admiration, and Lin Yuan heard the stunned gasps of several palace confidants in front of the palace.
Tuoba Hong's gaze at the palace maid Rui'er became complicated.
Hearing the words of Rui'er and Imperial Physician Li, people who don't understand medical science also understand that Concubine Xiang is really poisoned, and the fact that Rui'er is a little palace maid can have detoxification is eye-catching. Lin Yuan thought that he still underestimated Concubine Xiang and the Shangguan family, and it was the first time to have a palace maid who was more capable than the imperial doctor in this palace.
However, being able to harm Concubine Xiang like this under the nose of the palace maid Rui'er, the opponent's ability is also amazing. The poison she used must have been unrecognizable even to Rui'er in a short period of time, and it was not discovered until Concubine Xiang was poisoned and fell, which shows that it is powerful.
Lin Yuan only felt fear at this time. Today is a day of calamity, two things colliding.
Chu Huaxin framed her first, and she and Chu Huashang teamed up to overturn the case; Later, someone else wanted to kill Concubine Xiang.
Chu Huaxin originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but unfortunately her arsenic trick was really not enough in Rui'er's eyes, Rui'er could distinguish it the moment she took the soup bowl, and pulled Bai Xiuwei as a shield. Concubine Xiang easily escaped, but she never thought that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and the poison she was afraid of at this time was that someone had just done something at the banquet.
couldn't hide from the fifteenth day of the first year, even if there were capable and loyal maids around her, Concubine Xiang was still taken advantage of. In this palace, anyone with a big belly has countless guns and arrows waiting for them.
Lin Yuan felt that this was also Concubine Xiang's own sin, and she had already been poisoned, but she still put her mind on herself and made a statement to the emperor to kill herself, and she was unaware of the hidden fatal crisis. If she could not get along with herself, maybe she would have found out earlier, and she would not have become half-dead now.
