Chapter Twenty-Three: Drugged to Avoid

"Queen's motherβ€”it's time to take your medicine." Ripple said respectfully as he held the tray.

Glancing at the black-brown medicine on the tray, Kou Shu's eyes quickly crossed a pain, this medicine was originally a medicine for himself to regulate his body since he was in a coma for three months, but since a few days ago, the medicine was inexplicably added, Qingchengmen is a well-known medical door in the rivers and lakes, and she is an extremely outstanding disciple of Qingchengmen, the taste of that medicine is very familiar, she knew that it was a cold cicada grass as soon as she smelled it, and the temperament of the cold cicada grass was extremely cold, and it only used one effect - avoiding children.

couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, Song Jinyan rarely touched himself, but he still had to give himself such a medicine in one more move, how much he didn't want him to conceive a child.

Thinking of the child he once lost in vain, that fresh life, Kou Shu's heart was even more dull like a knife, Ah Yan, why, you always hurt me deeply again and again.

"The emperor has arrivedβ€”" Grandpa Su's slender voice came.

Kou Shu smiled slightly and picked up the medicine bowl. The extremely bitter cold tide grass was completely tasteless in his mouth, and a large bowl full of medicinal juice was drunk by Kou Shu.

"Ashu, have you been feeling better lately?" In Song Jinyan's tone, there was a rare gentleness.

Kou Shu was indifferent, nodded, and said respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, the concubines have been much better recently." ”

Frowning, Song Jinyan was a little dissatisfied: "Auntie, you shouldn't be like this to me." ”

Raising her head, there seemed to be a trace of confusion in Kou Shu's eyes: "What should I do?" ”

"You shouldn't be so angry," there was already a hint of anger in Song Jinyan's tone, "You are my queen, and you are the closest person to me." ”

Kou Shu smiled brightly, but her eyes were full of sarcasm, which made Song Jinyan extremely uncomfortable, turned her head Song Jinyan looked at the empty medicine bowl, and asked, "Are you taking medicine?" ”

Kou Shu burst into a strange smile: "Yes, this medicine concubine drinks it every day." ”

Song Jinyan chuckled in his heart, his eyes skimmed over the bowl that still had medicine residue left, and instead played with Kou Shu's ornaments on the table.

Seeing that Song Jinyan didn't speak, Kou Shu actually took off her hairpin and combed her hair in the mirror, with a cold attitude of sending off guests.

Song Jinyan frowned slightly, and just wanted to say something, but he saw a little eunuch crawling into Changle Palace, and fell to his knees in front of himself and Kou Shu with a puff and said: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, the queen mother, poisoned-"

"What-" Song Jinyan took a step forward suddenly, his expression tightened, and then looked at Kou Shu: "Let's go, follow me to have a look." ”

Kou Shu nodded: "The emperor will go first, and Concubine Rong will change her clothes and then arrive." ”

Song Jinyan walked out of Changle Palace with his feet raised, whispered a few words to the secret guard, and then hurried to Ningci Palace. Kou Shu also followed closely with ripples.

The originally quiet Ningci Palace was full of people, concubines, imperial doctors, palace maids and eunuchs, all of whom bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

"What's going on?" Song Jinyan spoke.

Mama Song knelt down and said: "The Queen Mother said that she was a little scared when she got up early, and the slaves and maids originally thought it was hot in the summer, but they didn't know that the Queen Mother didn't wake up when she took a nap in the afternoon." ”

Mama Meng stepped forward and said, "The old slave went to ask the imperial doctor to come, and several imperial doctors took turns to diagnose and treat, but they couldn't make up their minds. It wasn't until the governor of the hospital came to take the pulse carefully that he was poisoned. After speaking, he glanced at Mama Song, as if he was reproaching her for saying too much.

Song Jinyan's face was calm, this harem is really getting more and more peaceful day by day: "Since it is poisoning, what can be found?" ”

The Governor of the Courtyard took a step forward, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the Weichen and several people have now carefully investigated the diet of the Queen Mother in recent days, and only one thing seems to be different. ”

"What is it?"

The maid on the side stepped forward with a tray in her hand, and the governor gently lifted the silk, and under the silk was a good deer antler velvet, exuding a faint golden light.

The court governor pointed at the antler velvet and said: "This deer antler velvet was originally taken by the Queen Mother every day to replenish qi and blood, but the antler velvet was smeared with a thin layer of moon Jiao powder, and this moon Jiao powder was also a qi tonic thing, but when taken with deer antler velvet, it will form heat poison because of excessive qi." ”

Song Jinyan opened his mouth, and before he could make a sound, he heard the sound of the secret guard coming from the air, Song Jinyan's face suddenly turned pale, and a terrifying chill suddenly erupted in his eyes, he turned his head suddenly, looked at Kou Shu coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Then, what is the solution to this poison?" ”

The superintendent continued: "The hot poison is not difficult to solve, only more than ten flavors of Chinese medicine such as honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, and white tea need to be boiled and concentrated, and the medicinal juice is taken in three timesβ€”β€”"

"No needβ€”" Song Jinyan's aura around him dropped suddenly, his eyes pointed at Kou Shu as if he had been quenched with poison, and coldly interrupted the words of the court governor: "I see that this method is too cumbersome, I have an idea." ”

Looking at Song Jinyan's weird and cold smile, a thought involuntarily flashed in Kou Shu's heart.

"The queen's body is invulnerable, and its blood can cure all kinds of poisons, and now the queen mother is critically ill, and the queen mother naturally wants to let blood to save people." Song Jinyan looked at Kou Shu, smiled coldly, and said word by word.

When the governor heard this, he couldn't help kneeling down and said: "Your Majesty, the heat poison is easy to solve, but bloodletting is extremely harmful to people. ”

"What does the queen mean?" Song Jinyan didn't hear the words of the superintendent at all, and looked at Kou Shu directly, with a strong playfulness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, our mother's body is already weak, since the imperial doctor said that you can take medicine, why bother-"

Song Jinyan raised his foot, and kicked the ripples who stepped forward to intercede to the door, and said coldly: "Presumptuous, I will talk to the queen, and it is your turn to intervene with a cheap maid?" ”

"Your Majesty, you don't know, the queen mother, she-"

"Ripples!" Kou Shu's voice sounded slowly, and there was indescribable exhaustion and disappointment in her tone, "The concubine understands, the concubine is willing." ”

"Good! She is worthy of being a good queen of mine. Song Jinyan laughed, "Did you hear that?" Why don't you go get a knife yet? ”

In a few moments, the knife was presented.

Holding the handle of the knife, the court governor hesitated again and again, but still couldn't do it: "Queen Mother, you are also proficient in medical science, why don't you come by yourself." ”

Kou Shu nodded, took the handle of the knife, and a thin silver blade immediately sank into the wrist, Kou Shu's hand moved slightly, and the pain in the heart came one after another, but there was no pain on his face, and he said indifferently: "Take the bowl." ”

The maid on the side had already prepared a bowl, and after a while, a bowl full of blood was received, and Kou Shu's face was as pale as paper, but her body was still motionless, as if nothing had happened.

"The queen is so affectionate and righteous, and she really admires her husband." Song Jinyan sneered: "Why don't you go and give it to the queen mother!" ”

After putting a bowl full of blood, Kou Shu's head was a little cloudy, and she barely stood up with the ripples, but she still made a standard salute to Song Jinyan and said, "If there is nothing to do, the concubine wants to retire first." ”

Song Jinyan snorted coldly and did not speak.
