Chapter 55: Poisonous mushrooms are terrifying
The sobbing of the woman and the hurried footsteps of the palace people echoed in the room for a long time.
The eyelashes trembled slightly, and He Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and saw the dazzling light through the slit of his eyes.
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er, you're finally awake!" Mrs. Cai's crying eyes were so red and swollen that she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, walked over from a distance with a smile, and sat at the head of Hexuan's bed.
"Mother, don't cry. I... What's wrong with me? He Xuan was supported by the palace people and leaned against the head of the bed, took a sip of tea, and said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Imperial Physician Wang, who was originally dispensing medicine, immediately knelt at the head of the bed, bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "It's all Weichen who didn't check, so that the villains got a loophole." ”
He Xuan was thirsty, and Qing'er immediately offered a cup of tea with both hands and handed it to He Xuan.
"What the hell is going on?" And Xuan resulted in a teacup, and asked in confusion.
Imperial Physician Wang looked up at Mrs. Cai, who nodded with tears in her eyes, and then Imperial Physician Wang said slowly.
"Princess, the day before yesterday, you suddenly fell unconscious, and Mrs. Cai summoned Weichen to come for treatment. Weichen noticed that the princess seemed to be poisoning, and you drank four or five pairs of medicine, and finally woke up at this moment. God forbid! ”
He Xuan's face was very pale, his complexion tightened, and he asked, "Poisoning?" What kind of poison did you get into? ”
"Weichen doesn't know, it should be something that he ate by mistake. Dare to ask what the princess has eaten lately? Imperial Physician Wang's face was ashamed, and his eyes were full of apologies when he looked at Hexuan.
"Accidental ingestion? This... Every day for breakfast and dinner, and Xuan are eaten with his mother and Ji Tai, and lunch is eaten in Ling Shudian, everyone else is fine, it should be fine... Yes! He Xuan remembered that one night about five days ago, I was reviewing my homework and asked the small kitchen to deliver the food directly to the room. He Xuan suddenly said.
"The princess is right!" Qing'er's eyes flashed with a twinkle and said, "The slave remembers that the dishes sent by the small kitchen that day were chicken stewed mushrooms, cabbage stewed vermicelli, steamed fish, assorted fresh vegetables, sweet and sour tenderloin, braised tofu, shredded potatoes, glutinous rice balls, and sour and hot shredded potatoes. ”
Qing'er slowly said those dishes, evoking the memories of Hexuan.
He Xuan nodded, his peeled lips looked particularly haggard with a smile, and said, "Yes, I still remember joking with Qing'er that day, saying that the mushrooms in the chicken stew mushrooms have the smell of potatoes." Qing'er also said that I should stop eating, she was going to the small kitchen to ask those uncaring minions if the pot was not cleaned. ”
When Imperial Physician Wang heard this, he said with a straight face: "Princess, non-poisonous mushrooms only have bitter and fruity flavors. Only poisonous mushrooms are potato or turnip-flavored. If Weichen guessed correctly, the princess was afraid that she had eaten poisonous mushrooms. ”
can do tricks and feet on ingredients, and only in the past two years has been sent to Zhaohua Palace, only that Cuilan.
Is it Empress Zhao? She finally couldn't bear it anymore and made a move? He Xuan fell asleep and asked himself in his heart.
Concubine Lian was poisoned, Zhao Ruier slipped the fetus, and Jiang Wanrong was poisoned. He Xuan destroyed Empress Zhao's careful layout again and again, and every time it appeared so appropriately, it would be strange if Empress Zhao, who was dominating in the harem, hadn't noticed her.
If it is said that the last time Suzaku Street was in distress, it can almost be concluded that the poisoning was instigated by Empress Zhao.
Mrs. Cai's face changed greatly, and she said in a panic: "Which slave is so careless that my son almost died." ”
He Xuan glanced at Ruolan, who was standing opposite, and the latter immediately understood and quietly slipped out.
"Mother, this matter has been a few days ago, and if there is a clue, it has already been destroyed, and there is no trace." He Xuan looked at the very worried look of the mother concubine and persuaded softly.
"That's true. Princess, the toxins of poisonous mushrooms will destroy people's consciousness, poisoned people will hallucinate, be emotionally agitated, and eat too much will cause the accumulation of toxins, and even kill in serious cases. Wei Chen looked at the princess as if this was a symptom. Imperial Physician Wang explained.
"So that's how ... Good thing I didn't eat much. He Xuan muttered to himself, and his heart was full of fear.
"It's also to blame Weichen for not taking good care of him, so that the princess suffered this catastrophe!" Imperial Physician Wang knelt on the ground and said solemnly.
"What's wrong with you, the imperial physician has been serving in Jiang Mansion for the past few days. It's because I don't study medicine myself, and I don't care about my diet. ”
The imperial physician Wang was even more ashamed, and said, "When the princess says this, she is tormenting the ministers. ”
Mrs. Cai is a gentle and kind person, and she thought that on weekdays, Imperial Physician Wang asked Zhaohua Palace to check her pulse, so she said: "Imperial Physician Wang should hurry up!" The ground is hard and cold, and kneeling for a long time is not good for your knees. ”
Doctor Wang slowly got up and said, "The princess still needs to recuperate for a few days, and Weichen will open a new recipe and decoction three times a day." ”
"Then there is the Imperial Doctor of King Lao!" Mrs. Cai's eyes were full of gratitude, and she said with a smile.
"Madame doesn't have to be polite, this is the duty of the minister." Doctor Wang bowed and slowly retreated.
After Imperial Physician Wang left, Mrs. Cai gave another instruction, and seeing that He Xuan's complexion was really not good, she hurriedly asked Qing'er to cover He Xuan with a quilt, and walked out of He Xuan's bedroom.
"Call Ruolan in." Seeing that Mrs. Cai was far away, He Xuan whispered to Qing'er.
As soon as Ruolan came in, she knelt at the head of Hexuan's bed and said, "Princess, the slave is guilty, the slave failed to keep an eye on Cuilan for the princess, so that the princess was poisoned." ”
"Get up, you can't be blamed for it, it's the eyeliner that was placed next to her was not careful." He Xuan motioned for Ruolan to get up.
The slave maid just secretly asked Fei'er, the palace maid who was staring at Cuilan, and she said that she didn't find anything unusual about Cuilan. The slave maid thought that it must be Fei'er who was not paying attention, and just reprimanded a few words. Ruolan said word by word.
Qing'er, who was standing beside the bed, said anxiously: "Princess, what should we do now?" Do you want to arrest Cuilan? Let her confess who is behind the scenes? ”
"No, as I said earlier, five days have passed since this incident, and the evidence has long been destroyed. Without real evidence, it is very difficult for Cuilan to recruit Empress Zhao. Even if she did recruit her, who would believe it? After He Xuan finished speaking, he thoughtfully took a sip of tea.
"It's better to find a reason to transfer Cuilan to clean the backyard. After leaving the small kitchen, it will be difficult to do things in the future. Ruolan raised her head and said softly.
"Well, that's a good idea. Then try it, and remember to send a reliable person to keep an eye on her this time. He Xuan stroked the hair that had been blown off his sideburns.
"No." Ruolan replied with a respectful salute, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes revealed a kind of firmness.
He Xuan only felt that the clothes on his body had been soaked with sweat. It was already summer, and the mother concubine ordered someone to cover her with a quilt, how could she not sweat? The feeling of the clothes sticking to the body is really uncomfortable, and the smell is terrible.
It's a pity that her body is still very weak, her spirit is not good, and she can't afford to bathe and change clothes. I had to wrap myself back in the hot quilt with a slight smell, and soon fell asleep again.
Recuperating for a few days, in addition to eating and sleeping, it is boring.
As soon as He Xuan is energetic, she will send someone to take Ji Tai's notes and take a look, she doesn't want to fall behind Li Fuzi's class, and she doesn't want to resume classes after recovery, and her grades will become the bottom of the class.
When Ji Tai came back from class to visit and Xuan, he angrily told her that some people were sneering at Ling Shudian, saying that it was good that she was sick and didn't need to take Master Li's class. She just smiled faintly.
It's just a group of arrogant children, how can He Xuan care about them!
Qi Hou sent someone to send supplements, and Mi Xian also sent a little through Ji Tai.
Qi Hou sent things, Zhaohua Palace was accustomed to it up and down, and He Xuan didn't think much about it, but only ordered Ruolan to count it and store it in the small warehouse.
As for the things sent by Mi Xian, He Xuan didn't look at it, and he couldn't wait for Ji Tai to send it back as it was. It's just that the sister and brother have had a few unpleasant times because of Mi Xian, and Mi Xian doesn't know what means they used to coax Ji Tai around. Mi Xian became more and more important in Ji Tai's heart, and He Xuan didn't want to make trouble with his brother at this time, so he gave up.
It's just that she asked Ruolan to put all the things sent by Mi Xian in the study, and secretly asked Qing'er to send them back when she got better.
Emperor Zhou Ming, who didn't know the truth, also came to visit He Xuan once or twice in his spare time, instructed her to have a good life and recuperate, and even instructed the people below to check the ingredients well, so that there can be no more accidental eating in the future.
"Princess, the slave maid just heard that something big happened in the palace!" Qing'er hurried to Hexuan's dormitory.
"Oh?" He Xuan slowly put down the scroll he was holding in his hand, and turned his head sideways to look at the impetuous little girl.
"The slave maid just heard that Dongfang Xiu was reprimanded by His Majesty, demoted to a fourth-grade woman, and fined for one year. The will should soon spread throughout the six houses! Qing'er's eyes were a little flustered, and she said very quickly.
Hearing this, He Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oriental contouring? She is a cautious person, what angered her father? ”
Qing'er's expression on her face was a little embarrassed, she lowered her head, and said, "Yes... It's Your Majesty... Your Majesty has bumped into it... Bumped into... Cheating... ”
"Oriental contouring? Cheating? With whom? He Xuan couldn't hear what Qing'er was muttering, so he asked loudly.
"No... It's not Oriental contouring... Be... It's the eunuch in her palace... And the palace maid... When Qing'er said the last few words, her head was almost lowered to her chest, and her voice was extremely soft.
"Eunuchs and palace maids? In the contouring palace? Just happened to be seen by my father? He Xuan didn't really hear it, his face was a little impatient, and he asked loudly.
Qing'er lowered her head and didn't speak, and He Xuan looked at Qing'er's little girl who seemed to be very taboo, so she was patient and comforted: "Qing'er, don't be afraid, make it clear, there are no outsiders here." ”
After a long time, Qing'er slowly raised her head, her bright eyes were full of horror, and her little face was suffocated red.
