Chapter 15: Chronic Poisons
Of course I knew that she was saying this to me, but she must not have known that Xiahou Ying had already died. However, I am really not interested in the queen's false name, because no matter what my identity is, Willow's feelings for me will not change.
"Queen Mother, did the Imperial Doctor come over today to ask for a pulse?" Willow sat on the edge of the bed, took the Queen Mother's thin hand and asked.
The Queen Mother snorted lightly and said in a low voice: "It's all useless things, let the mourning family take so many medicines but it doesn't get better." I'm afraid that the mourning family is running out of time, I just hope that before I die, I can see you and Ying'er can add a king and grandson to the mourning family. β
"You already have a prince and grandson, me and Concubine Zhao's Jing'er! Besides, the queen mother is deeply blessed, and she will definitely be healthier than Nanshan. Willow patted the back of her hand and comforted.
The Queen Mother retracted her hand, with a look of displeasure on her face, "The mourning family said that the identity of that child is unknown, and you will wait until you take him to the palace to make a blood confession and confirm his identity." β
"This ......" Wei Luo turned around and looked at me with some embarrassment, and then said to the Queen Mother: "These things will be talked about later, the beginning of next month is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the sons want to invite the monks of Xuanshan to pray for the Queen Mother." β
"Genzan? The monks of Changqing Temple? β
Wei Luo nodded, then pulled me to the side of the bed and said, "Let Concubine Zhao check the pulse of the queen mother, maybe she has a way to cure the queen mother's illness." β
The Queen Mother's expression tightened, and she hurriedly wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and said in a deep tone: "I don't believe in her medical skills, and she will definitely take the opportunity to kill me." β
"Queen Mother......" Willow whispered helplessly, then got up and pulled me to leave.
The Queen Mother was a little shaken, moved her lips slightly, and Zuihou sighed helplessly: "Diagnose the pulse, anyway, I won't live long like this now." β
I sat down on the edge of the bed, put my index and middle fingers on her pulse, and after a few moments, I examined her eyelids and tongue again, and a feeling of unhappiness welled up in my heart.
The Queen Mother's symptoms are very similar to poisoning, but the toxicity is very strange, some like chronic poison, could it be that the Queen Mother was poisoned after Vero passed the throne to Su Che?
Who is it that wants to harm her?
"What? If you don't know how to diagnose and treat, you can just say it, and the mourning family never thought of counting on you! The Queen Mother withdrew her hand and turned her head a little displeased.
After leaving Huichun Palace, Wei Luo whispered, "What happened just now?" Any questions? β
I was silent for a while, and then I whispered back: "The Queen Mother's symptoms are somewhat like poisoning......"
"Poisoned?" Willow frowned, and his face changed several colors in an instant, and Zuihou muttered to himself: "Could it be ......him?"
"Don't worry, even if I can't solve it, isn't there still my father!" I stood on tiptoe and patted him on the back and comforted: "My father wants to be the king of medicine back then, and there should be no poison in the world that he can't decommit." β
"Then I'll send someone to Tongshan to bring your father into the palace now."
"No, my father's personality is very eccentric, if he knew that he was invited over because of the Queen Mother's affairs, I'm afraid he wouldn't agree. I'll have to go there myself, and he'll come over for my sake. After speaking, Masase looked at Willow fixedly.
I know that he will not refuse me, for the life of his mother is at stake, and even if he no longer wants me to leave the palace, he will not stop me at this time.
Wei Luo took my shoulder and walked in the direction of Yeyang Palace, and said as he walked, "I'll go with you!" β
"Huh?" I stared at him in disbelief, "How long have you been on the throne, and now the world is not at peace, how can you, as the king of a country, accompany me to another country." Besides, the Queen Mother's body is so weak, you are still staying with her, and you can also use this time to investigate the poisoning. β
Willow slid the hand on my shoulder all the way to my waist and said tightly: "Su'er, you must be careful on this trip, I will let the secret guards protect you secretly, you go and go back quickly." β
When she returned to the palace to pack her bags, Ni Meng hadn't come back yet, and she thought that the letter was too big a blow to her, but since she wanted to go back to Tongshan, take her with her!
The purpose of her trip was originally for Xiao Ran, but now that Xiao Ran is gone, her age should indeed refer to her family, and staying by my side will be delayed after all. In the future, I will not interfere with whether she wants to leave the palace, return to Tongshan, or stay here.
At dinner, Ni Meng came to Jingxuan Hall a little distracted, I handed her haode bags, and said in a light tone: "We will leave for Tongshan early tomorrow morning." β
"What? Did you quarrel with Junshang? You're running away from home...... Ah no, running away from the palace? Ni Meng wiped away his previous decadent color and asked with a curious expression.
"...... "What should I say to her, raised his hand and patted her on the head, and said in a muffled voice: "The Queen Mother is sick, I will go back to Tongshan and ask my father to come over to treat the Queen Mother." β
Ni Meng breathed a sigh of relief, raised the corners of her mouth and said, "So that's the case!" β
"You have to look at Xiao Ran's affairs...... Taking you back to Tongshan this time is also to let you make your own choice, whether to stay with me or go to Tongshan, or return to Princess Zhaowen. I've always wanted to find you a good person, and I'm not young now, so it's not a problem to spend it like this all the time. I stroked her round face and couldn't help but sigh.
When I first saw her in Lou Wang's Palace, she was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, but now in a flash, she has become a slim girl.
"What do you mean by this, Sister Tassel? Although Ni Meng is stupid, he still wants to continue to stay by his sister's side, and since Brother Xiao already has someone who can be with him until he is old, Ni Meng has nothing else to ask for, but wants to be able to serve his sister well. β
Seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, I hurriedly took her into my arms and patted her back comfortingly, "Okay, I understand, my sister will never leave you in the future, whether I stay in this palace as a concubine or go out to the end of the world, I will take you with me." β
Mud Meng rubbed in my arms, rubbing her face full of snot and tears on my white placket...... I held back my anger and slapped her on the back with uncontrollable force.
Ni Meng was slapped by me and coughed lightly, and then quickly left my arms and said with a smile: "Sister Tassel, do you know if you have misunderstood whether you are with him daoqian?" β
daoqianοΌ
I looked stunned, and quickly glanced at her and said: "I want daoqian, because he has something to say and hide it from me, if he confesses earlier, he will not be suspected by me." β
Ni Meng shook helplessly and quietly retreated.
After driving out the maid who had entered the temple and held the lamp, I lay on my back on the bed alone, my eyes closed a little tired. I had been worried about Xiao Ran's affairs before, but now the big stone in my heart has finally fallen.
Even if this news is not good news for me or Ni Meng, as long as Xiao Ran is alive and well, we have no choice but to secretly pray for him in the distant Yiwang Palace, hoping that his life will be better in the future.
