When Ming Lanruo entered the inner palace, all the maids had tears in their eyes and looked pale.
As soon as Nanny Tan saw her, she immediately came up to her and asked worriedly: "Princess Ming, what should I do?"
The Queen Mother suspected that she had been poisoned, but the doctors from the Imperial Hospital and the old ladies from the Palace Affairs Department who knew all kinds of dirty tricks all investigated the matter.
Nothing was found.
Only Ming Lanruo's prescription contained cantharis, five-step snake, and five ghost poisonous scorpions... The imperial doctors were full of doubts about Ming Lanruo's prescription.
At first, the Queen Mother was too lazy to let them nag her ears, so she stopped letting the doctors ask her for Ping An's pulse. In the end, it became "evidence" that Ming Lanruo had evil intentions and deceived the Queen Mother.
Ming Lanruo nodded: "Commander Mu has already told me the whole story. I'll see the Queen Mother first."
She was actually very touched that the close associates around the Queen Mother believed in her.
Aunt Qin accompanied her to sit down next to the pale and unconscious Queen Mother. She immediately began to diagnose the Queen Mother's pulse, check the blood that the Queen Mother vomited, and examine the Queen Mother's body.
After this inspection, Ming Lanruo's face became darker and darker, and she became more and more frightened.
She originally believed that the Queen Mother was poisoned, but after checking, she found that the Queen Mother's pulse condition was in chaos, her Qi and blood were suffocated, and her pulse was getting weaker and weaker. It was indeed like a heart attack!
Now the Queen Mother is using ginseng and other things to hang on to her life. If this continues, the Queen Mother will not be able to survive tomorrow!
But why!
She was obviously very sure that the Queen Mother's disease was developing in a good direction. Although it could not be cured, it was absolutely impossible for her to suddenly attack and die now!
Ming Lanruo took a deep breath, tried to calm down, took out the silver needle and began to apply it to the Queen Mother quickly!
At the same time, he ordered Aunt Tan to drive the other palace people out, took out the rhubarb herself, took a small silver spoon and slapped it on its butt: "Pee! Hurry up, or we won't survive!"
Dahuang raised his butt in displeasure and peed a few drops.
Really, if you use it as medicine all day long, it can’t cure all diseases!
Ming Lanruo seemed to see through its unhappiness and whispered: "You are a treasure that is used to hang your life!"
Of course she knew that rhubarb could not cure all diseases, but this guy was full of treasures.
The life-threatening effect of its urine is more than a hundred times stronger than that of ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.
Many times, what is needed to treat a patient is the crucial time to save his or her life. Only when the patient is saved can he come up with other life-saving methods!
Rhubarb proudly akimbo - hum, this witch still knows it is a treasure.
Before it finished humming, Ming Lanruo roughly stuffed it back into his pocket.
Ming Lanruo watched Aunt Tan bring water in, and immediately put the small spoon in her hand between the Queen Mother's lips for fear of scaring Aunt Tan.
Aunt Tan didn't think much about it, let alone ask any questions. She only knew that Ming Lanruo would not harm the Queen Mother! After all, if the Queen Mother died, Ming Lanruo would die too.
Sure enough, after a while, the Queen Mother's face seemed not to be so pale anymore, and Aunt Tan immediately became happy: "Is the Queen Mother saved?"
Ming Lanruo frowned slightly: "No, this time is very serious. If we can't find out what caused the Queen Mother's illness, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will be in danger..."
"Surely it's poisoning?!" Grandma Tan asked immediately.
Ming Lanruo shook his head: "It's not poisoning, but... the sudden heart attack was so serious, it seems like something stimulated the Queen Mother's illness. We need to find out the cause."
Aunt Qin sighed: "I have also checked this direction with many people in the palace. Even the chief manager and the chief have sent people to help check. The food and clothing expenses have been met, and indeed no abnormalities have been found."
Dongchang will use some special methods. If they don't find out, I'm afraid even if there is something, it will be gone by now.
Ming Lanruo frowned slightly and looked out the window, when a butterfly suddenly fluttered its wings and flew away.
She narrowed her eyes, no, whatever she did, it would leave traces.
Those people were so sure that the Queen Mother would die, that she would not be able to stand up, and that there would be some flaws.
There are some things that people cannot see. So... what if they are not people? Can they detect traces?
She looked at Aunt Tan: "Auntie, I need your help. Jinghe will bring someone into the palace, but I can't get her into Ci'an Palace!"
Jinghe could only get Aunt Wusang into the palace with her power, but Emperor Ming was here and Ci'an Palace would never be able to enter.
She also didn't want to expose Aunt Wusang's identity, so the more hidden the people around her were, the better.
Aunt Tan nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
As long as she can find out the truth, she is not afraid of taking risks!
An hour later, Aunt Tan came in with Aunt Wusang dressed as a grandma.
Ming Lanruo immediately told Aunt Wusang all the situation.
Aunt Wusang checked the condition of the Queen Mother, then thought about it, took out a small bottle, and found two small flesh-colored insects crawling out of it.
Aunt Wusang put the two little bugs into the Queen Mother's nasal cavity.
After a while, the two little bugs crawled out of the Queen Mother's mouth and turned into a strange black color.
That scene frightened Grandma Tan, but with Ming Lanruo's comfort, she endured her fear and watched nervously.
Two small flesh-colored insects suddenly sprouted a pair of wings and flew up, flying around the inner hall.
Then it fluttered like a butterfly on the silk flowers worn on the heads of several palace ladies.
Aunt Wusang's face darkened: "The bugs I released are called smell-seeking bugs. They can search for poisonous smells. There is something on those silk flowers that caused the Queen Mother's heartache!"
Grandma Tan's face changed drastically, and she looked at the maids with stern eyes: "Bring the silk flowers over here!"
Several of the maids were instantly frightened. They trembled and picked off the flowers, kneeled over and offered them to them: "Mommy, we are all old people who have been with the Queen Mother for six or seven years. How could we harm the Queen Mother!"
Ming Lanruo thought for a while: "Where did these silk flowers come from?"
Although it is difficult to bribe one or two palace maids to attack the Queen Mother, it is not impossible.
But with so many maids, many of whom are die-hard loyalists to the Queen Mother, it is indeed impossible.
Grandma Qin thought for a while: "This batch of silk flowers is made of Kesi material. Because the color is calm, Si Zhifang only gave it to us Ci'an Palace."
Ming Lanruo raised her eyebrows: "Oh, are they only made for Ci'an Palace? Where did those tapestry materials come from?"
Kesi silk is such a precious material that no one would use it to make silk flowers. This is a strange thing.
Aunt Qin said: "The Grand Princess' Mansion made a batch of materials before. I heard that they were spoiled, so I simply gave them to the Si Manufacturing Workshop."
As soon as she finished speaking, her expression changed: "Did the eldest princess do what happened this time?!"
The silk tapestry material is luxurious and steady. To put it bluntly, the silk flowers made into it are gorgeous and quite old-fashioned.
Generally, concubines and princesses would not wear them outside the house, only the elderly would wear them. The silk flowers made by Si Zhi Workshop must be sent to Ci'an Palace.
"I'm going to report this to the Queen Mother!" Aunt Tan was almost furious and said angrily with a livid face.
But Ming Lanruo grabbed her sleeve and said, "Mommy, don't go, it's useless."
She sighed softly: "Even if these silk flower materials were tampered with or drugged, there will only be a little smell left, so there is no way to prove the eldest princess."
Aunt Wusang's method of using search bugs is a strange and obscene trick that cannot be recognized by everyone. She may even be criticized for using witchcraft.
This is why the eldest princess and the others are so sure that she will find nothing, the Queen Mother will definitely die, and she will be implicated and beheaded.
"Then what should we do? Let the eldest princess and the others get away with it!" Grandma Tan was so angry that she was shaking all over.
The eldest princess started planning more than ten days ago. She is really vicious!
Ming Lanruo said silently: "Let me think about it."
Emperor Ming promised her until tomorrow, so she still had time to think of something.
Time passed minute by minute, night fell, and Ci'an Palace became quiet.
Ming Lanruo was tired and took a quick shower. She came out of the clean room, passed by the study and was about to go to the Queen Mother's room.
Suddenly someone covered his lips and pulled him back hard.
Ming Lanruo was dragged into the shelf in the study, and her whole body was pressed against the wall.
The other party's slender and hot body pressed against hers, which was dangerous and evil.
With a cold look in her eyes, she stabbed the attacker's neck hard with her backhand, but the attacker grabbed her wrist.
"Tsk, after working hard all day, you are still so fierce. Concubine Ming is in good spirits." A cold and sandy voice sounded in her ears, and a long, slender hand gently stroked her soft back.
Ming Lanruo trembled sensitively, raised her hand to block his pressed lips and chin, and trembled slightly: "You are crazy, this is the Queen Mother's palace."
She would be in trouble if she couldn't prove her innocence tomorrow, but he was still interested in teasing her.
"I just want evidence, isn't it very simple?" Cang Qiao carelessly stroked her slender waist.
I haven't seen her these days, but she is living a comfortable life.
Ming Lanruo's eyes lit up: "Master, do you have any idea?"
His dark phoenix eyes glowed eerily in the darkness, and he suddenly lowered his head and stretched out the tip of his scarlet tongue to lightly lick the soft palm of her hand that was pressed against his thin lips: "Yes, please."
