Chapter 4: Poisoning

The next day I didn't know what was going on outside the noisy noise, since last night I have been suffering from abdominal pain, at first I thought I had a cold, so I didn't tell the concubine, now I can't get out of bed, I only feel like a knife is being wringed.

The concubine came to wake me up, I was so painful that I didn't have the strength to answer, she noticed something strange, and approached the bed, "Gu Yu, what's wrong, why are you so pale," she gently wiped the sweat for me with a handkerchief, her eyes were full of eagerness.

It is extremely troublesome to get sick in this cold palace, if there is money to bribe the guards in front of the palace gate to go to the hospital to grab a few packets of medicine, it is not a difficult thing, but if it is not for the imperial order, the imperial doctor will not enter the cold palace to diagnose the disease.

In a daze, I seemed to be asleep, and I felt that someone was calling me: "Gu Yu - Gu Yu - " I opened my heavy eyelids and only saw the faint face of the concubine, it was already evening, and the light in the room was a little dim.

"Get up and take your medicine" She gently helped me up and put a pillow on my back, and I was half-seated, and my consciousness gradually became clear. She was holding a bowl of thick black potion that she didn't know where she got it. "I'll be fine with the medicine," she coaxed me, and then she fed me the medicine spoonful, spoonful by spoonful, and my sense of taste seemed to be gone, like drinking fresh water.

Then I fell back into a deep sleep......

It seemed to be raining at night, and I didn't seem to be asleep, but I couldn't open my eyes anyway.

A man carried me on the eaves of the house, and at a glance, the palaces of all sizes stretched for thousands of miles, and the layers of glazed tiles shone in the sunlight, and just as I was amazed by this majestic sight, somehow I broke away from the man's embrace and fell straight down.

I almost screamed, but I couldn't, so I had to open my eyes hard.

It was already dawn, and the concubine hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you better?" "I don't seem to have so much pain in my abdomen anymore, but my spirit is worse than yesterday, I just feel in a trance.

In order to reassure the concubine, I got dressed and got up. I've slept for a day, and I don't know what happened to Concubine Rong.

After washing, I went to Concubine Rong's place, because I hadn't eaten anything for a whole day, I only felt that my feet were floating, I couldn't walk, and there was still some pain in my abdomen, so I had to take five steps and take a break, and I walked for half an hour to reach Concubine Rong's place.

From afar, I saw several fathers-in-law standing there, a few younger ones standing outside, trembling, apparently for a long time, and an old father-in-law in a dark purple robe with a red jade crown talking to the closed door.

I quietly approached a little before I heard my husband's earnest voice: "Third prince, Concubine Rong is already a concubine, so naturally she can't be buried according to the etiquette of the imperial concubine. ”

There was no movement inside.

The father-in-law continued: "Third prince, you have been guarding it for a day, it is better to go and rest, so that Concubine Rong can be buried in the earth as soon as possible!" ”

After a long while, seeing that there was still no movement inside, he raised his voice and said, "If the third prince doesn't come out again, don't blame the minions for being unreasonable." ”

I started to have abdominal pain again.

I only heard the sound of the cup breaking inside, and the father-in-law made a look, and the other people stepped forward, and the leader hugged his fists and said: "Three princes, forgive your sins!" Then he slammed the door open.

Then came the angry voice of the third prince: "Presumptuous, don't let go of my mother soon," and then there was a noise, and the grandmother cried: "The third prince, let them take Concubine Rong Niangniang!" ”

I wanted to go forward to help him, but I only felt unbearable abdominal pain, so I had to squat down, and then I saw a few people carrying Concubine Rong out with the quilt, and the third prince chased him out but was forcibly pulled by several people, his eyes were red, his hair was a little messy, his eyes were staring at Concubine Rong's corpse, and he pushed those people back with both hands, trying his best to break free.

I have never seen such a Jiang Qi, unlike the gentleness who usually takes care of his mother, he is like an angry leopard at this time, and the anger in his eyes seems to tear the people around him to pieces.

I stood up in pain, trying to help him, but I felt dizzy and unconscious......

Since then, I have been half-asleep and half-awake, as if I heard someone calling my name, but I couldn't open my eyes.

"What has she eaten," she vaguely seemed to hear someone talking, "she hasn't eaten for three days," as if it was the voice of the concubine, "go and pass on Imperial Doctor Wang, go quickly!" Someone ordered urgently.

There were a pair of thick little hands touching my forehead, I tried to open my eyes to see the man, but the eyelids could not be opened as if they weighed a thousand pounds, I imagined how anxious the man in front of me was, whether he was looking at me as he was looking at his mother, and gently wiping my hands as he was wiping his mother's hands......

There was a medicinal soup poured into my mouth, and I wanted to swallow it but I couldn't help myself.

I want to drink these decoctions, I want to open my eyes, I want to live, I don't want to be left in this boundless darkness, I long to feel the sun and rain, even the withered grass and trees, the cold palace doors that never open, and the chattering women, I long to hear their voices, even the white eyes they cast I like.

It was a long, very, long time before I finally opened my eyes with difficulty. The concubine's face seemed to be much older, Jiang Qi was pacing beside her, and an old man she had never seen before was drinking tea beside her.

"Gu Yu, you're awake!" The concubine took my hand and cried with joy, Jiang Qi hurriedly came to my bed when he heard it, and shouted in surprise: "Imperial Doctor Wang, Imperial Doctor Wang!" ”

The old man hurriedly walked over, looked at me carefully, and then checked my pulse for me, his brows stretched and wrinkled, and he hugged his fists and said to Jiang Qi: "Third prince, although this little girl has woken up, the toxins in her body have not been removed, and the prescription prescribed by the old minister can only be temporarily suppressed. ”

"Then go and configure the antidote and find a way to detoxify!" Jiang Qi said angrily, the man knelt down busily, and said helplessly: "This poison is very powerful, and I have been suffering for a few days, I am afraid that the power of the entire Tai Hospital will ........"

"There's no other way?" Jiang Qi helped the man up and asked him, "Weichen's medical skills are not good, please ask the third prince to condemn him," the imperial doctor knelt down again.

"Imperial Doctor Wang, do you still remember who interceded for you when the Wang family was implicated in the Huaizhou corruption case, and now you are ungrateful as soon as my mother leaves!" Jiang Qi didn't even glance at the person kneeling on the ground, and asked majestically.

"The old minister is terrified!" Imperial Physician Wang buried his head lower, almost touching the ground, and continued with a trembling voice: "How dare Concubine Rong Niangniang's great favor Weichen forget, but Weichen is really powerless!" ”

"No one in the palace can save the outside of the palace? You're thinking about it! Jiang Qi asked eagerly, and helped the imperial doctor up with both hands. Outside the palace? As if remembering something, the man hesitated: "There is such a person outside the palace who may be curable, but ......"

Jiang Qi's smile just now gradually disappeared, and he pondered for a long time and said, "Tomorrow I will go to ask the queen mother." ”
