Hu Ling'er narrowed her eyes and immediately realized the Queen Mother's intention. She wanted to diagnose herself.
She was so direct that he made a surprise attack on her without saying a word.
Hu Ling'er didn't react much, but glanced in the direction of the Queen Mother, with a slight smile on her lips.
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, two palace maids came forward carrying chairs.
Hu Ling'er sat down silently, but Doctor Wang did not appear for a long time.
The Queen Mother was probably impatient with waiting, and said to the palace maid beside her: "Why hasn't Dr. Wang come yet?"
Listening to her obviously sullen tone, the palace maid hurriedly said: "Go back to the Queen Mother, I will take a look again."
After saying that, she hurriedly walked towards the door. At this moment, the door of the palace was pushed open, and an old man carrying a medicine box walked in with his head lowered. This man must be the Doctor Wang mentioned by the Queen Mother.
After Doctor Wang came in, he quickly greeted the Queen Mother and said, "Old minister, I wish you good luck to the Queen Mother."
"Didn't I tell you to be in the side hall a long time ago? Why did it take you so long to come?" the Queen Mother asked impatiently.
Doctor Wang's face looked a little panicked, and he said quietly: "Please... please forgive me, Queen Mother. I just... just felt anxious about each other, so I..."
This reason is indeed difficult to explain. Before Doctor Wang could finish his words, the Queen Mother interrupted him with a wave of her hand and said: "Come on, come on. You can go down first."
After the Queen Mother gave an order, all the maids who were waiting in the palace retreated. In an instant, only the Queen Mother behind the bead curtain, Hu Ling'er and Doctor Wang were left in the room.
Doctor Wang should have received the order from the Queen Mother a long time ago. Seeing that the ladies in the palace had retreated, he walked straight to Hu Ling'er, lowered his head and said: "Princess, let me diagnose you."
Hu Ling'er raised her eyes and glanced at him, but saw that he had his head lowered from beginning to end and never glanced at her.
She knew that if she refused to diagnose now, the Queen Mother would also confirm the fact that she was pregnant, because this was clearly a sign of something evil in her heart.
Therefore, it is better to let the imperial doctor diagnose it openly and then think of a solution.
Stretching out her hand towards him, Hu Ling'er smiled calmly: "Thank you, doctor."
The imperial doctor covered Hu Ling'er's wrist with a white handkerchief, and then placed his finger on her pulse.
He kept his eyes lowered all the time. Hu Ling'er couldn't see his expression clearly. She glanced in the direction of the Queen Mother, thinking that after the doctor diagnosed her pregnancy, her pregnancy would be completely exposed. What would happen later?
Is it appropriate to talk to the Queen Mother?
After a moment, Doctor Wang withdrew his hand, raised his gaze slightly, glanced at Hu Ling'er's indifferent face, and then turned to the Queen Mother.
Although his eyes glanced at him, Hu Ling'er still noticed the complex divine light in him, which was filled with surprise, shock, and even a touch of panic.
Is he afraid of himself?
He paused in his heart, wondering whether he had seen it wrong or something. How could Doctor Wang be afraid of him?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard him reply to the Queen Mother: "To the Queen Mother, I have completed the diagnosis."
"Oh, tell me, how is the princess' health?" The Queen Mother's voice came out lightly, sounding casual, but with a hint of nervousness.
Hu Linger knew that the Queen Mother was actually on her side, otherwise she would not have sent out all the maids in the palace.
But for the dignity of the royal family, she had to do this, which was really embarrassing for her.
At this time, the voice of Dr. Wang slowly sounded: "Back to the Queen Mother, the princess has just recovered from a serious illness. Although her breathing is still a little weak, it is still stable and there is nothing serious."
After Dr. Wang finished speaking, not to mention the Queen Mother, even Hu Ling'er looked at him in astonishment.
What does he mean?
Sure enough, the Queen Mother's slightly majestic voice sounded again: "Is there nothing else?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, there is no more." Doctor Wang lowered his head, his attitude was humble, but his tone was unusually affirmative.
"Are you sure you have made a proper diagnosis?" There was disbelief in the Queen Mother's voice. Listening carefully, the tension in it seemed to have disappeared a lot.
Doctor Wang still lowered his head and said: "The Queen Mother's order, I dare not slack off."
what is going on?
Hu Ling'er looked at the back of Imperial Physician Wang, feeling confused.
She was obviously pregnant, so there was no way he couldn't diagnose her, and the Queen Mother would let him diagnose her secretly, so she must have trusted him extremely.
Moreover, the Queen Mother asked him so many times. Although she did not specify the question, she was obviously asking him whether she was pregnant. Why would he lie to the Queen Mother?
This thing is really weird. Did she see it right just now? Was he really afraid of her?
But he doesn't know Doctor Wang at all. He has no reason to be afraid of her, let alone help her?
After Dr. Wang finished speaking, the Queen Mother did not speak again, and the palace fell into silence again.
After a while, the Queen Mother's voice finally sounded again: "It's okay, just go down."
When saying this, the Queen Mother's voice became obviously much more relaxed.
"Old minister, please retire." Doctor Wang followed the instructions and retreated.
It was only then that Hu Ling'er saw the Queen Mother, who had been leaning on the couch behind the bead curtain, move. Then she slowly straightened up and waved to Hu Ling'er: "Wan'er, come in."
That kind and kind voice has returned to the way it was when we first met him.
Hu Ling'er smiled, then stood up and walked towards the Queen Mother. The moment she opened the bead curtain, she saw the Queen Mother sitting on the bed looking at her apologetically.
The smile on her face did not diminish. Hu Ling'er slowly stepped forward, walked to the Queen Mother's side, and called softly: "The Queen Mother."
"Wan'er..." The Queen Mother grabbed Hu Ling'er's hand and pulled her to sit on the edge of her bed. She looked her up and down. Seeing her sincere and calm smile, she couldn't help but said apologetically: "Don't you blame me?"
Ai Jia doubts you, right?"
Although she never said what she was looking for from the beginning to the end, she knew that with Hu Ling'er's intelligence, she must have guessed her intention from the beginning.
The Queen Mother obviously believed Dr. Wang's words and thought she had misunderstood Hu Ling'er.
"Of course not." Hu Ling'er shook her head and covered the back of the Queen Mother's hand with her other hand, "The Queen Mother would do this because you care about the prince and Wanru. How could Wanru blame you?"
Although I still don’t know why Imperial Physician Wang did this, he has finally solved a problem for himself.
"As long as you understand." The Queen Mother held her hand tightly, her smile full of relief: "It is his blessing that Han'er can marry a wife like you, and it is also the blessing of my Qi family."
Having said this, the Queen Mother paused, her face changed slightly and she said, "The Ai family will never let go of this person who spreads rumors outside, slanders Princess Han, slanders King Han, and insults our royal family."
She thought that as soon as she woke up this morning, she received the news sent by the emperor to her. When she heard the specific content of those rumors, she was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.
At that moment, she wished she could have Hu Ling'er arrested immediately, punished for her crime, and then fucked up the Right Prime Minister for doing such a treasonous thing.
But after she calmed down for a while, she began to think about it carefully.
Although she had only met Hu Ling'er once, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't think she would do such a thing.
Although she has lived in the palace for a long time, she has long been trained to observe women's eyes, otherwise she would not have been favored by the late emperor.
So she decided to first confirm whether Mu Wanru was pregnant. If so, she would investigate and punish her carefully. If not, everyone would be happy.
Fortunately, the result was what she expected.
Seeing the resentful expression on the Queen Mother's face, Hu Ling'er quickly consoled her: "Queen Mother, you don't have to worry about this matter. Your Majesty has already gone to find out the truth."
"Really?" The Queen Mother thought for a while, then nodded and said: "In that case, let you handle it yourself. I will go to the emperor and tell him, no, I have to issue an edict, not only
After sealing the mouths of those people, I still have to clear your name."
"Queen Mother, Wanru has made you worry." Listening to the Queen Mother's ramble, Hu Linger smiled on her face, but she felt a sense of guilt in her heart.
After all, she lied to her after all.
But she really didn't expect that this matter would be solved so easily. What was going on with Dr. Wang?
"Sneeze!" Doctor Wang sneezed hard as soon as he walked out of the gate of Ningshou Palace.
He didn't even have time to rub his nose, so he looked around in a panic. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he turned into a secluded intersection and walked straight towards a locust tree in front of him.
When he arrived at the locust tree, he carefully looked around and made sure no one was around before he started searching on the thick trunk.
Perhaps he was hesitant and too nervous. He wandered around for several times but found nothing. He couldn't help but whispered anxiously: "My hero, I have followed your instructions. Didn't you say you would put the antidote here?"
?Where is the antidote? Where is the antidote..."
While he was thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, he suddenly stopped and stared straight at the tree trunk in front of him.
He saw a small hole as big as two fingers on the mottled tree trunk. There was a small brown paper roll stuffed in the hole. Because it was about the same color as the bark, he had never noticed it before.
He quickly reached out and took out the paper roll and opened it. Sure enough, there was an antidote inside.
Doctor Wang couldn't wait to pick up the antidote and put it into his mouth, but found a few words written on the paper: If anything today is leaked, die!
With a shake of his hand, the antidote in Doctor Wang's hand almost fell to the ground, and his heart that had calmed down after seeing the antidote started to rise again.
He had also heard the rumors about Princess Han. When the Queen Mother ordered him to diagnose Princess Han, he thought he could make a great contribution and make the Queen Mother value him more.
But while he was waiting for the Queen Mother's order in the side hall, a man wearing white clothes and a white scarf covering his face suddenly appeared in front of him.
Before he could call someone, the person threw a pill into his mouth. It melted in his mouth and caused abdominal pain like a twist.
He was shocked and frightened, and asked who that person was and why he wanted to harm him, but he didn't answer anything. He only said that when Princess Han was diagnosed, he was not allowed to tell the fact that she was pregnant. As long as he did it, he would
Go to the locust tree here to find the antidote.
In order to survive, he had to betray the Queen Mother. Even though it was clearly confirmed that Princess Han was pregnant, he still lied to the Queen Mother.
It is impossible to say that he does not feel guilty, but if he loses his life for loyalty, that is something he will never do.
Now he had followed the man's instructions and had obtained the antidote, but looking at the warning on the paper and the antidote in his hand, he was not sure whether it was the real antidote.
What should we do if the person takes another kind of poison to silence him?
Does he want to eat it or not?
Just when he was hesitating, a faint voice suddenly came from his ears: "If you are afraid, don't eat it. But after twelve hours, your internal organs will be rotten. By then...
"
"I'll take it!" Before the voice could finish speaking, Dr. Wang, who was already sweating profusely with fear, stuffed the antidote into his mouth without hesitation.
After standing there for a while, he touched his belly and took his own pulse. Perhaps the situation had improved, so he turned around and looked around. There was no one around.
Although the voice just now was very soft, it fell into his ears very clearly, and it clearly belonged to the man in white.
Is he still looking at me here?
When he thought of this, Doctor Wang quickly said: "My hero, I have already taken care of the matter. I will pretend that this matter has never happened and I will never mention it to others. I... I will leave first."
After saying the last word, Doctor Wang had already run away in a hurry.
He was afraid of the strange man in white, and even more afraid of his poison and threats.
It wasn't until the figure of Imperial Physician Wang completely disappeared that a white shadow descended from the leafy locust tree and landed on the place where Imperial Physician Wang was standing just now.
The peerless face looked at the direction in which Dr. Wang was running in panic, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "Since you are still obedient, I will spare your life."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
But at this moment, an exclamation came from the side: "You...you...Jian Xinan, why are you here?"
