No one in the entire hospital dared to make random guesses. The Queen just now did not specify that the Prince's illness was caused by poisoning. He just carelessly told the truth. Isn't he rushing to bring disaster on his own?
"The Empress..." Geng Le was startled for a moment, and his back felt cold. He quickly knelt on the ground and bowed his head and said, "I...I am scared...I was just anxious for a moment.
I also ask the Queen to forgive me for my slip of the tongue."
Chu Miao'er had been silently watching his every move from beginning to end, and she pursed her lips. Geng Le's brows had never relaxed since he stepped into Fengwei Palace, and he only frowned when she and Chu Qianqian looked at him occasionally.
But in her opinion, the smile was very forced, and she must be very conflicted inside.
Just now Chu Qianqian said that Geng Le's grandfather, the old doctor Geng, was an upright and upright doctor. He treated the poor without taking any money, and he never flattered the royal family. However, the doctor could not cure his own disease, and he died of illness before he could retire and return home.
at home.
However, Chu Miaoer feels strange that Imperial Physician Geng passed on his life experience to Geng Le, but did not seem to intend to let Geng Le enter the Imperial Hospital to fill his vacancy a hundred years later, so that people in the palace still know Geng Le’s identity.
Very few.
If Geng Le was just living an ignoble life, he would not have been admitted to Taiyuan Hospital through his own efforts. Then there is only one possibility for his hesitant and unwilling attitude now.
The death of Dr. Geng might be related to the poisoner in Jingzhou, and he knew who the poisoner was... The answer seemed to be coming out, and Chu Miaoer couldn't help but take a breath when he thought of this.
Air conditioning.
"Mr. Geng, the prince's health is deteriorating. Even if you don't say anything about this matter, you will definitely find out in the future. By then, the entire hospital will be involved. Dr. Geng thought..." Chu Miao'er said in a calm voice,
"Can you be alone?"
"? But the fourth princess, an ant still lives in vain, why can't she cherish her life?" Geng Le asked in return.
Seeing that Geng Le was so embarrassed, he clearly knew the inside story but refused to speak. Chu Qianqian suddenly became angry, pointed at him and shouted loudly: "Geng Le! Are you sure that I cannot interfere in the political affairs of the previous dynasty?
The person standing in front of you at this time is the Queen of Daijin, and the one who is suffering is the current crown prince, your future monarch. It is a pity that your grandfather has worked hard for Daijin all his life, but you don’t even dare to say that person’s name. You are so timid.
How can I be worthy of the official uniform I’m wearing?!”
Seeing that he was still silent, Chu Qianqian was so angry that her fingers trembled, and she said in a deep voice: "In this case, it's better for Dr. Geng to go back and let the ancestors be in trouble! Chunliu!"
Chu Miaoer guessed her intention and sighed slightly. After hearing the news, Chunliu opened the door and quickly entered the room, standing aside with his head lowered.
"Geng Le of the Imperial Hospital is not good at medical skills. The medicinal food he prepared made me unable to eat, and the old disease almost relapsed. The fourth princess also suffered from it. I would like to ask the Emperor to punish all those who dealt with it in the Imperial Hospital to serve as a warning to others."
." Chu Qianqian specially emphasized the word "all", turned around and said coldly, "Go to Qiankun Palace and tell the emperor this. The more urgent you say it, the better."
Chunliu could clearly hear their conversation outside the door, but she did not dare to say anything more and was ready to leave if she was lucky.
"The Empress," seeing this, Geng Le suddenly raised his head, surprised and angry, "I thought that the Empress, as the empress of the dynasty, should be virtuous, virtuous, knowledgeable, and sensible. How can you fabricate facts out of thin air and slander others like this?"
He was anxious. Such a careless and outspoken person was completely different from those cliquey old ministers.
Chu Miao'er pursed her lips slightly and said kindly: "As the youngest and most promising person in the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Geng should not avoid hardships and take serving the future monarch as his main responsibility. Isn't it the same that he still dares not to speak out for fear of getting into trouble?
"After teasing, he deliberately smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Doctor Geng, I spoke more straightforwardly, but... I'm sorry for the roughness of my words."
Although he asked him to forgive him, he was choked with sentences one after another that made him unable to say anything. Geng Le's face gradually stiffened, he gritted his teeth, and his chest was obviously rising and falling rapidly, as if he had been hit by a big impact.
"I don't want to cause trouble, nor do I want to be the unfaithful and unjust person mentioned by the empress and the fourth princess..." Geng Le clenched his fists, his voice was low and slightly hoarse, "Back then, I overheard someone saying to my grandfather.
What happened in Jingzhou seems to have been caused by Xie Jiabao."
"Xie Jiabao?!" Chu Miao'er and Chu Qianqian said in surprise at the same time.
As the legitimate daughter of the Chu family, Chu Qianqian has been subject to strict etiquette discipline since she was a child. She never leaves or steps outside the palace before entering the palace. She learns all day long how to serve her husband, serve the emperor, and how to fulfill her role as queen. She
He didn't know anything about Jianghu, let alone Xie Jiapu, but Chu Miaoer knew everything.
I heard from Fu Yanshuo that the people from Xiejiabao are best at poison. All their methods are vicious and sinister, but they are extremely mysterious and come and go without a trace. No one has ever really seen anyone from Xiejiabao. However,
It was such a feared sect, but it was wiped out overnight, and no one in the world has heard from them again.
However, the gang that disappeared in the world suddenly appeared in the palace? Is this a coincidence?
"What kind of gang is Xie Jiapu?" Chu Qianqian's heart was full of questions, but it couldn't overcome the joy in her heart. She smiled and said sideways, "But no matter who it is, as long as you know his last name, you can find a solution.
He has cured Li Lian’s poison, right? I will settle all the hardships Li Lian suffered with him in the future, but I can’t delay any longer now, my second sister..."
"The Queen—" Chu Miao'er took her hand that was on his wrist and thought about his words, "Xie Jiabao is a gang that has disappeared from the world. This matter must not be as simple as we thought.
"
"Then why did they hide in the palace, and why did they attack the prince? Why?!" Chu Qianqian couldn't understand, and shouted in a low voice, "After going around and around, they are still helpless. I see that you are all in the hospital.
A bunch of quack doctors can’t even cure the prince’s illness!”
Geng Le raised his eyes for a quick look, then lowered his head. He began to feel anxious and uneasy. He never thought that the usually graceful and dignified Queen would become like this.
"Empress," Geng Le rolled his throat, "the early stage of this poison is no different from that of ordinary wind and cold. It is impossible for anyone to detect it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a precious body. How dare the Imperial Hospital use medicine indiscriminately? Wei Chen's grandfather checked all of them back then.
There is no antidote in any ancient medical books. However, there are rumors in the world that Dongjue is good at using poisons and hidden weapons, so the royal family all wears the 'Wanjie Dan', which can cure all poisons. You can..."
"Okay," Chu Miao'er stopped her. "The queen is emotionally unstable now. Please ask Dr. Geng to come back first. I know this matter is not trivial. The queen and I will keep it a secret for you. If we don't want to cause death,
, you must be careful in your words and deeds after you return."
Geng Le knew that given the Queen's current mood, she would definitely not listen to any advice, so he knelt down and stood up, turned around and left.
The nobles in the palace are all very wealthy, so the hospital naturally does not dare to use strong medicines, and can only use mild medicines step by step. However, if it encounters a serious illness or a sudden illness, it will only die.
If, as Geng Le said, the poison cannot be cured at all, what use will it do when the poison shows up, which is when Fu Lilian becomes terminally ill?
"Sister!" Chu Miaoer came back to her senses and saw Chu Qianqian striding toward the door. She hurriedly called, "Sister, where are you going?"
"Go to Baixiang Palace." Chu Qianqian responded without looking back.
Yes, just now Geng Le mentioned Dongjue's Wanjie Dan, so Chu Qianqian must have gone to Al Yunduo for help. Chu Miao'er felt a slight pain in her neck, so she pressed the back of her neck with her backhand and stood up to follow quickly.
Since the two palace men were expelled from the palace last time, Baixiang Palace has admitted two more maids. They seem to be honest and diligent in their work.
"My servant has met the Queen," Bi'er smiled and came forward to greet her, saluting in turn. "I have met the four princesses." She pointed to the two maids behind her. "They are newcomers sent by the inner palace a few days ago.
The name is..."
"I'm here to see your master," Chu Qianqian reached out to stop her impatiently, "Is Concubine Yun back? Where is she now?"
Bi'er opened her mouth, was startled for a moment, and quickly nodded and said: "Back to the Queen, Concubine Yun has just come back. She should be changing clothes in the inner room right now. Servant, I will go and report to the Queen."
"No need, I know the way." Chu Qianqian said coldly, walking forward first, leaving behind a group of people who did not dare to speak.
The group of them entered the inner courtyard without any hindrance. Seeing that the door was unlocked and only slightly opened, Chu Qianqian pushed the door open without hesitation.
"How bold!" When Qing Glaze heard the noise, he quickly opened his arms to block Al Yunduo behind him. He was about to curse some unruly slave for breaking into the queen's inner room without permission, but was shocked when he saw the person coming.
"What? I want to inform you in advance when I come?" Chu Qianqian looked gloomy, walked to the round table and sat down, "I have important things to do here. After putting on Concubine Yun's dress, get out quickly.
.”
Hearing this, Al Yunduo secretly raised his eyebrows and curled his lips.
"The person has left," Al Yunduo sat down opposite her. At this time, the three of them just formed a triangle. She blew on the hot tea and asked lightly, "I wonder what the queen wants to see me for?"
"Your guess is indeed correct. The prince is most likely poisoned. I came to you just to ask for your help..."
"No, no, no, no..." Al Yunduo crossed his hands in the air, showing a gesture of rejection all over his body, "I told you yesterday, I can neither recognize poison nor detoxify it. I am a member of the Dongjue royal family.
You're just a useless person, why don't you go to the imperial doctor and come to me?"
