Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Skill of Medicine is on Display

A pigeon suddenly landed in Sheng Zhiyao's yard, it fluttered its wings and stopped under a tree in the courtyard, and then it opened its mouth and barked, this sound soon caused Ju'er to keep vigil in the next room, because Sheng Zhiyao couldn't bear to let them make a bunk at the door every night, so he vacated the next room for them to sleep.

"What's that?"

Ju'er ran out of the house, and Ju'er, who saw the pigeon, immediately squatted down, grabbed its feathers, and flicked it with her hand a few times, and then took out the letter from the bamboo tube on its ankle.

"Miss, there is a letter!"

Ju'er handed the letter to Sheng Zhiyao, and Sheng Zhiyao took the letter handed over by Ju'er and read it, with a smile on her face.

"Miss, seeing that you are so happy, let me guess." Ju'er pretended to hold up her chin and quipped, "It's a letter from Childe, right?" ”

Sheng Zhiyao smiled and didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Is it Childe, have they already arrived at the border?"

"Well, I just arrived yesterday."

"It's good to arrive safely, Miss won't be able to meet Childe for a long time." Ju'er looked at Sheng Zhiyao with a smile and said.

Sheng Zhiyao's cheeks turned crimson, glared at Ju'er, and then changed the subject and pointed to the pigeon and asked, "How did you say it found me?" ”

"Miss, you can ask me about this, the slave doesn't know." Ju'er shook her head blankly, in fact, she knew that this pigeon was raised by Yuchen Palace, and the jade characters engraved on the bamboo tube were markers, so it was not strange to find Miss.

"Forget it." Sheng Zhiyao closed the window and went back to bed, she didn't have the strength to care about anything else now, she was a little sleepy.

At the moment, however, there was no peace in the palace.

A group of imperial physicians were kneeling in the queen's bedchamber while they discussed the queen's condition.

The emperor sat on the edge of the bed, and a pair of sharp eyes like eagles and falcons were staring at these imperial doctors: "Imperial Doctor Wang, you said that the queen was poisoned?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to be presumptuous, the queen is indeed poisoned, but the ministers still need to check the degree of food and clothing before they can make a conclusion."

"You mean there's something wrong with the Queen's food?" The emperor's face sank, and his eyes looked at the imperial physician coldly.

"It's possible, Your Majesty, please rest assured, the old ministers and others will do their best to save the queen's mother, but it's just ......" The imperial physician did not dare to answer the emperor's question at all, because the queen's meals were all sent after being examined by the imperial doctor.

"Just what?"

"It's just that although the ministers know that it is poison, they don't know which poison is mixed." A drop of sweat oozed from Imperial Physician Wang's forehead, and his body trembled involuntarily, he knew that the emperor was really angry.

"Hmph, aren't you the head of the hospital? I don't even know what kind of poison I have, I don't think there's any need for you to do it at the head of the hospital! ”

"Your Majesty spares your life, and the minister will definitely do his best to save Niangniang, and he will definitely live up to His Majesty's high hopes!"

A trace of disdain flashed on the emperor's face, these imperial doctors are really wasteful, the queen has been in a coma for several hours, they can't even distinguish a little poison, he really wants to make them apologize immediately.

The emperor's anger frightened the imperial doctors present, the head of the imperial hospital was their only reliance, if the capital of the hospital could not be saved, then they would wait to be executed.

The emperor looked at Gonggong Cui on the side, and Gonggong Cui immediately understood what he meant, so he immediately walked towards the outside of the hall.

The emperor looked at the queen lying on the bed, and then looked at the night sky that was already dark outside, his eyebrows were full of worry, and now he could only pin his hopes on Gonggong Cui to find Sheng Lixin quickly, he didn't want to see this group of incompetent imperial doctors, so he walked towards the outside of the hall.

At this time, Sheng Lixin was drinking and chatting with Steward Li in his Qingliu Courtyard when he saw Grandpa Cui hurriedly running in the direction of Qingliu Courtyard.

Steward Li, who heard the movement, stood up: "Gonggong Cui, why did you come to the Hou Mansion so late?" ”

Father-in-law Cui ran all the way, with anxiety on his face: "The old marquis is not good, the queen mother is poisoned!" ”

Sheng Lixin was shocked when he heard this, and immediately stood up and asked, "What kind of poison is in the queen's mother?" ”

"I don't know, the doctors are investigating." Grandpa Cui looked annoyed, if he knew what poison the queen had, he wouldn't have to come to the old marquis.

"I'll go and see, Li Qiao will call him away."

"Yes, Master Hou."

Li Qiao hurriedly agreed, and then turned to leave, and Grandpa Cui followed him with another trot.

"Miss, are you sleeping?" Steward Li stood at the door of Sheng Zhiyao's house and shouted into the room.

Sheng Zhiyao woke up immediately when she heard Steward Li's voice, she opened the curtain, got up and pushed the door open, and saw Steward Li and Grandpa Cui standing at the door of the room, their faces full of anxiety.

"Is something wrong?"

"The queen mother is poisoned!"

"What!"

"Who did that?"

"Your Majesty is still investigating, and now the top priority is to detoxify the queen's mother, and the old marquis asked the county lord to enter the palace with him."

"Good!"

Sheng Zhiyao agreed, and then quickly dressed up and followed Gonggong Cui out of the mansion.

At this time, the palace was brightly lit.

The three of them hurried to the queen's bedroom, and at this time, the imperial doctors were kneeling on the ground to check the queen's pulse.

Old Marquis Sheng saw His Majesty outside the hall just nodding and walked in: "You all get out!" ”

Sheng Lixin looked at the imperial doctors and shouted, and the imperial doctors saw that it was the old marquis Sheng who lowered his head one by one and hurriedly made a way.

The queen's face was as pale as paper, her lips were purple, and black blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.

The imperial doctors all had solemn faces on the side, as if they had encountered a problem.

The old marquis took the pulse, and the emperor anxiously walked back to the hall to look at Sheng Lixin's face and asked, "How is it?" What kind of poison is it in the queen? ”

"This is a mixed poison, the poison is mixed with all kinds of poisons, once the poisoned person takes this poison, he will remain unconscious, and the queen mother will die in three hours at most, and only by finding a matching antidote can he live." The old marquis said his judgment unhurriedly.

"Can we find a matching antidote?" The Emperor continued to ask.

"I can't help it, but it's far away." The old marquis turned his head to look at Sheng Zhiyao.

Sheng Zhiyao nodded, she walked to the queen's side and looked at the black blood left at the corner of her mouth, she stretched out her right hand and picked up the handkerchief to wipe it, and then put it in the cuff.

"Far away? Can you find the antidote? The emperor looked at Sheng Zhiyao with a little surprise, it's not that he didn't believe it, even Sheng Lixin couldn't do anything, what could she do as a five-year-old child?

"Yes, I can." Sheng Zhiyao nodded affirmatively: "But I have a place where no one is disturbed, and I don't want anyone to approach." ”

"Okay, Mama Rong will take her to the side hall, and no one is allowed to take half a step forward without my permission." The emperor commanded solemnly.

"Yes, slave and maid."

Sheng Zhiyao followed Mama Rong to the side hall, and she stopped at the door of the side hall: "Mama Rong, this side hall is the one I slept in last time?" ”

"Back to the county lord, yes."

"Then trouble Mama Rong to help me guard this door, no one is allowed to enter this door without my orders, and no one is allowed to come in, I am afraid that someone has bad intentions." Sheng Zhiyao instructed.

"The slave obeys the order, and the county lord can rest assured." Mama Rong said respectfully.

Sheng Zhiyao nodded, and then walked towards the side hall.

She closed the door and checked the room, then quickly entered the cottage.
