Chapter 47 Crossing the Poison with Yourself
"Finding out the truth?" Hearing this, Song Jinyan was slightly surprised.
"That's right, investigate the truth thoroughly," Kou Shu nodded, "It's really strange that my father Kou Yunwu and my mother died that day. My father was loyal and dedicated to the country, and he never did anything to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, but for some reason he was imprisoned for such crimes. And in the future, before he could be interrogated, he died like this. Doesn't it feel strange? β
Song Jinyan frowned, he was a little suspicious of this matter, but there were many things involved behind it, and it would take some time to find out. Today's queen seems to want to get involved.
Song Jinyan nodded: "Okay, I agree to your request." I will order Dali Temple Qing to re-investigate Kou Yunwu's case, and every ten days, I will ask Marble Qing to come to explain the progress of the investigation, and the queen can also go to Dali Temple to read the investigation files. β
A smile appeared on Kou Shu's face: "Okay, we'll make up our minds." β
Kou Shu did what she said, left the imperial study, and went straight to the Ningci Palace, where the Queen Mother was located.
The Ningci Palace was full of people, and now the Queen Mother was in critical condition, everyone was holding their breath, and they didn't dare to breathe, and even the sound of water dripping down in the entire palace could be heard clearly.
The Governor of the Royal Court and the people from the Imperial Hospital were all standing in front of the Queen Mother's bed not far away, with a helpless and anxious look on their faces. For now, the only way to do this is to calm the mind of the Gu creature through medicine, so that the Gu creature will not attack for the time being. Even so, these imperial physicians also disagreed on how this prescription should be prepared.
"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrivedβ" Su Peiyuan shouted.
Song Jinyan waved his hand and retreated from everyone, and the originally crowded room suddenly became a lot empty.
"The queen mother wants to cross the poison with her body, what can a few imperial doctors do." Song Jinyan asked.
When the superintendent of the royal court heard this, his expression turned pale, and he turned his head to look at the other imperial doctors, and several of them looked at each other, all of whom saw the same meaning in each other's eyes. The Governor of the Royal Court took a step forward, arched his luggage and said: "Your Majesty, although this method is feasible, there is one thing that Weichen has to explain. The method of crossing the Gu is extremely dangerous and needs to be thoughtful, but now the situation of the Queen Mother cannot allow so much preparation, if she acts rashly, the danger of the Queen Mother will increase a few points. β
Kou Shu waved her hand, her eyes full of determination: "Needless to say, just prepare as soon as possible." The house that this palace bears. β
When Song Jinyan heard this, he glanced at Kou Shu in some surprise.
Niangniang wanted to cross the poison with her body, and even the ripples and mandarin ducks were driven out, standing at the door and waiting anxiously.
In the Ningci Palace, Kou Shu slowly untied his coat, leaving only a thin middle coat: "Governor Wang, let's start." β
The governor of the royal courtyard nodded, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said to Song Jinyan behind him: "Your Majesty, the Gu thing has been pulled for a while, and the form is distorted and terrifying, so it is better for the emperor to avoid it." β
Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows and sneered: "I haven't seen anything, just do your thing." β
Hearing this, the governor of the royal court stopped talking, and motioned for Kou Shu to sit on the side of the queen mother's sickbed, and brought a bowl of soup for Kou Shu to take first: "Niangniang, this soup is hot, and after drinking it, it has the effect of attracting Gu matter, this medicine is slightly toxic, just because Niangniang has a special physique, and the minister has doubled the dose." to ensure that it can attract Gu objects. β
Kou Shu nodded, took the medicine cup, and drank it in one gulp.
The royal court governor gently lifted the queen mother's wrist, and one by one extremely thin silver needles pierced into her body with the ups and downs of her hand.
Outside the door, Mandarin Duck and Ripple had been waiting anxiously for a long time. At this moment, Ripple was holding a tray in his hand, and he was almost crying: "Mandarin duck, why don't you say that Niangniang hasn't come out yet, it's all over the meal." β
The mandarin duck glanced at the closed door: "Wait a little longer, don't go in, in case you disturb the imperial doctor." β
Ripple's cry was even stronger: "Should the queen mother-"
As he spoke, the door creaked open.
Both of them exclaimed in surprise and rushed in.
Between Kou Shu lying on the edge of the bed, her clothes had been soaked with sweat for most of her time, showing a translucent appearance, her face was pale, and she was sweating profusely, if she looked closely, her fingers were still trembling slightly at the moment, as if she was enduring great pain.
"Queen Mother, now that the Gu poison has been stored in your body, Niangniang, you are invincible, and this Gu is helpless against you, but when the Gu poison attacks, the body is weak and floating, cold and hot, these symptoms will be there, and you still need to deal with them carefully." After the royal court governor finished cleaning up the silver needle, he instructed carefully.
Kou Shu nodded, signaling that the Governor of the Royal Court did not need to bother.
On the other hand, although the Queen Mother has not woken up at the moment, there is a trace of fresh blood on her originally pale face, and her weakened breathing is also a lot stronger. Obviously, after Gu Poison was lured away, he felt much more comfortable.
Kou Shu put on her coat with the help of ripples, relieved herself a little, turned around and saluted Song Jinyan and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing to do, the concubine will retire first." β
Song Jinyan looked at Kou Shu meaningfully, the Gu thing just now drilled directly into Kou Shu's wound, surging and struggling in his body, but Kou Shu gritted his teeth and didn't shout a word from beginning to end. The events of the past few days have really impressed me with my queen.
When he came back to his senses, Song Jinyan waved his hand: "The queen will go back first, in the future, I will arrange someone to help you take care of the six palaces, and I will also send more people in Changle Palace to ensure the queen's safety." β
A cold smile appeared on Kou Shu's face, but she still said respectfully: "Thank you for your love." β
Walking out of Ningci Palace, Kou Shu suddenly felt that the whole person had been evacuated, and leaned weakly on the ripples and gasped.
"Niangniang, what do you mean by this, General Kou's matter, do you have to investigate it like this?" Seeing Kou Shu like this, Ripple was angry and anxious.
Kou Shu shook her head and said: "Now that I am alone in the palace, there are only you and the mandarin duck, it is really difficult to find out the death of my father, in this case, it is better to give it a go, if the emperor agrees, this matter will be easy to do." β
"But you can't joke with your bodyβ" Ripple frowned, dissatisfied.
Kou Shu smiled slightly, didn't say much, but turned his head to the mandarin duck and said: "Mandarin duck, release the news, just say that I crossed the poison with my body, although the poison was successful, but because the time was too hasty, the preparation was not thorough, and the self-damage was great, and I didn't see anyone for the time being." β
Kou Shu's eyes showed a rare decisiveness and firmness, and said: "From today on, no matter who it is, it will be closed on the grounds that I am not feeling well. If anyone wants to see me, let them come back by the decree. β
Hearing this, Ripple and Mandarin Duck trembled, and they both nodded yes.
