The old doctor secretly glanced at Chu Xingchen with resentment as he left. Zhou Buyan nodded with satisfaction.
After solving the problem of taking medicine, we must prevent this situation from happening again.
Not to mention the thorough investigation throughout the East Palace, Zhou Buyan calculated over and over again, and when he found an omission, he came to the door again.
This omission was Chu Xinghai. Chu Xingchen was afraid that Chu Xinghai would be uncomfortable and frightened if he found out, so he didn't let him know that he had personally fed her the medicine that almost destroyed her body.
But Chu Xinghai is smart. Even if he didn't notice it at first, he still noticed it later.
He couldn't help but hide in bed and cry secretly. He was crying secretly that night when the quilt was lifted.
Chu Xinghai burped and looked at Zhou Buyan who suddenly appeared, "Brother-in-law Zhou..."
"It's useless to cry. Do you want to identify the poison?" This is Zhou Buyan's idea of solving the problem from the root.
Zhou Buyan didn't comfort him, but Chu Xinghai's eyes lit up, "I want to!"
So Zhou Buyan had one more thing to do, which was to teach the young prince how to identify poisons so as not to harm His Highness again.
Chu Xinghai just embarked on the journey of study. The study time was irregular, sometimes during the day, but basically at night. He was forced to study in the middle of the night every day. He was simply not a human being. Fortunately, he was sensible and did not say anything when he was tired and fell asleep.
This is a story for another time. Based on several days of observation and tracking, I finally found out the forces behind it through Na Chuntao.
Chuntao was arrested quickly. She was quite strong, but in the end she realized that there was no point in hiding it, so she took action anyway.
She is a member of Chen Ruoshui's mother's Qi family. She drugged Chu Xingchen to avenge her daughter and to prevent Chu Xingchen from giving birth to an heir to Chu.
She couldn't watch Chu Xingchen give birth to a child in good health. No matter whose child she gave birth to in the Shen Lingxiao family, it would only make Chu Xingchen's position more stable, and she had to stop it.
Qi used the thread that had been buried in the palace and used the secret medicine. If Chu Xingchen hadn't been lucky enough to break it by himself, no one would have been able to find her.
Mrs. Qi saw that the medicine was going smoothly and Chu Xingchen didn't notice it at all. He was in a very good mood and thought that after a while, Chu Xingchen could be completely disabled.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened right away. That night, Qi suddenly felt severe pain in her wrists and ankles in the middle of the night. When she woke up from the pain, she found that she could not move her hands and feet.
The maid was awakened by her cries of pain. When she turned on the lamp, she saw blood bleeding from Qi's wrists and ankles. She hurriedly called the doctor and called for someone to catch the assassin.
The assassin was not caught, or the shadow was not seen, but the Qi family suffered an unprecedented blow.
"My wife's tendons were all severed. I can only give injections and medicine to recover first, but the recovery depends on luck. If it's better, she may be able to stand up and walk, and her hands can also move. If it's worse..."
"How about almost?"
"Within a year's time, I may still be able to move my hands and feet, but I can't use my strength." This is actually a nice thing to say, but what's worse is that it's completely useless.
"I don't want it to be any worse. If it can't be cured, you won't be able to live." Ms. Qi interrupted the doctor with a sharp voice.
The doctor went to prescribe the medicine with a grimace and was already thinking of running away. Qi quickly had thoughts about her enemy.
"It was Chu Xingchen. It must have been Chu Xingchen who asked Shadow to do it. This bitch, how could she do this to me!"
Mrs. Qi scolded Chu Xingchen, but she didn't even think about what she had done. After scolding for a while, she suddenly asked, "Where is Ruoshui? Protect Ruoshui!"
Mrs. Qi was very nervous about Chen Ruoshui, but she soon received a reply saying that Chen Ruoshui was not in the house.
A little girl is not at home in the middle of the night. What can she do? The answer is to go on a date. Chen Ruoshui, who has many admirers, is very busy.
Tonight she went to see Xie Ziqing. Xie Ziqing was driven to Zixiao Temple. As Chu Xingchen expected, it was convenient for him to fall in love. He had long been involved with Chen Ruoshui and had gone back and forth with men like Chen Ruoshui several times.
Very powerful.
Xie Ziqing knew that many people liked Chen Ruoshui, but he did not expect that Chen Ruoshui would be so close to all of them, making him jealous and angry.
But the more exciting thing is yet to come.
Chu Xingchen went to bed early because she took the medicine. When she got up early the next day, she found out that the person who drugged her was Qi. At the same time, she also learned the news that Qi's hands and feet were picked and broken last night. Maybe it was bad.
Maybe I won’t be able to use my hands and feet anymore.
At the same time, when Chu Xingchen was in court, he heard many stories about impeaching the Chen family, embarrassing the Chen family and putting pressure on the Chen family.
There’s no need to guess about Qi’s hands and feet, it was probably Zhou Buyan who did it.
In the previous dynasty and outside, the Chen family received pressure from the Shen family, the Ling family, and the Xiao family. The three of them had a very unified attitude on this point.
Reporting any grudges on the spot really makes people feel good.
When Chu Xingchen returned to the East Palace, he received even more exciting news. Chen Ruoshui was carried to the palace to beg the old gynecological expert for help because she had suffered a miscarriage and was bleeding heavily, and the bleeding could not be stopped.
Qi's hands and feet were amputated. For Zhou Buyan and the Queen, this was just an appetizer, not enough.
Treating others in their own way is the best revenge.
Now that Mrs. Qi is old and her children are already so big, she is naturally not afraid of being drugged to lose her fertility. She herself no longer has children, but she still has Chen Ruoshui, her lifeblood.
The reason she did all this was to avenge Chen Ruoshui, so she returned all the medicine that was originally intended for Chu Xingchen to Chen Ruoshui.
In the past, Chu Xingchen had been given it slowly, for fear of being noticed if it was too violent, but for Chen Ruoshui, it was done all at once.
The colorless and odorless medicine was put into Chen Ruoshui's water, but it took effect within a moment. The medicine actually hurt the uterus.
No one expected that Chen Ruoshui would already have a pregnancy in her boudoir when she was waiting for her husband. She would have a miscarriage as soon as the medicine took effect and her bleeding would not stop.
Chen Ruoshui was staying with Xie Ziqing at that time. When did Xie Ziqing see such a scene? His hands and feet were so frightened that he desperately carried her down the mountain to seek medical treatment.
But the doctors outside could not save her at all, and even other imperial doctors could not do anything. They said that only the old imperial doctor could save her. In the end, they could only ask the old imperial doctor on duty to come to the palace to save her life.
Regardless of how Qi convinced the old lady, when Chu Xingchen came back, Chen Ruoshui temporarily stopped the bleeding.
"Although a small life was saved, the child in her belly was not saved. The news that Ms. Chen became pregnant out of wedlock has spread, and because of the excessive bleeding and the damage to her roots, she will not be able to conceive children in the future."
Late winter reported the latest situation to Chu Xingchen, and at the end he couldn't help but gritted his teeth, "You deserve it, let them harm His Highness, now it's their turn to taste the consequences."
Chu Xingchen just wanted to say good job, but his expression was a little weird.
If Chen Ruoshui has trouble getting pregnant in the future, what will her men do? She can't give birth to seven or eight children, but she will have to lose seven or eight heirs.
Moreover, the most important thing is that in the novel, the child who replaced the princess became the empress, and the second-generation heroine with an extremely noble status, the dove that occupied the magpie's nest, will be lost in this life?
