501 Your Master Is Not Hopeless
When Nanny Yang saw them coming out, she pulled Gu Xiaoxi into the house quickly.
There was only Concubine Zheng in the room, lying on the bed, coughing violently.
Nanny Yang closed the door and Gu Xiaoxi walked to the bedside.
Concubine Zheng was terribly frightened when she saw the door suddenly close. If Gu Xiaoxi hadn't covered her mouth, she would have screamed.
Nanny Yang pulled off the invisibility talisman from her body and stepped forward, bowing. "I apologize for my offense, Your Majesty. The people outside your palace are all Concubine Dong's people. My master can only allow me to come in and see you this way."
When Gu Xiaoxi heard Nanny Yang speak, she let go of the hand that was covering Concubine Zheng. She then walked over and set up a formation in the room so that no one outside could hear the conversation inside.
However, before she came, she disguised herself and put on a mask.
"Who is this?" Concubine Zheng looked at Gu Xiaoxi curiously.
“You should know that our master almost died before, and it was only with the help of this master that he was cured of his illness.
"The master heard that your health was getting worse day by day, so he begged the master to come and see you." Madam Yang made up an excuse.
But, she knew that this was what her master had always wanted to do.
There are not many concubines in the harem who can speak to the master. Concubine Zheng is one of them, but she was too busy to take care of herself before. Moreover, Concubine Pang did not want to implicate Concubine Zheng because of her own affairs.
"Sister, you are so thoughtful." As Concubine Zheng said this, her eyes suddenly turned red and she started coughing uncomfortably.
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at Nanny Yang, who was waiting at the door of the house. She went forward to see Concubine Zheng what was going on.
At this time, Nanny Zheng came back and found the door closed. She was wondering if she had closed it just now?
She pushed the door open and saw Nanny Yang with her mouth wide open in surprise.
Nanny Yang locked the door and pulled Nanny Zheng to the side to wait.
When Nanny Zheng saw someone examining her master, she probably guessed that Concubine Pang had invited an expert for her master.
After Gu Xiaoxi gave Concubine Zheng a brief examination, she asked Nanny Zheng about Concubine Zheng's usual diet.
After listening to it roughly, she asked the two to leave first.
Nanny Zheng glanced at her master worriedly.
Concubine Zheng said with a wry smile, "I've already become like this, there's nothing to be afraid of. Go ahead! Don't reject my sister's kindness."
"Yes, Master!" Madam Zheng wiped her tears sadly, then knelt down and kowtowed in front of Gu Xiaoxi: "Please save our Master, our Master is suffering so much."
“Get up, get up, your master is not hopeless, don’t be so pessimistic.
However, those around you need to reconsider. Your master has been given a slow-acting poison, and only servants can take effect. "Gu Xiaoxi told the master and servant the result.
The master and servant were a little surprised after hearing this. They originally thought it was just an illness and never thought it was a chronic poison.
"How come these mediocre doctors in the palace couldn't figure it out after all this time?" Matron Zheng said angrily.
"It's probably not that they can't see it, but they just don't want to offend certain people.
"Before, wasn't there anything we could do to cure our master's illness? If it weren't for the master, our master wouldn't be alive today." Nanny Yang got angry when she thought about it.
Concubine Zheng knew about what happened to Concubine Pang before, and she was very worried at the time, but it was useless to worry. She was in such a state that she couldn't even go to visit her.
"Go out, Madam Yang, don't let anyone else see you." Gu Xiaoxi ordered.
"Yes!" Nanny Yang nodded in understanding, put on an invisibility talisman, and pulled Nanny Zheng out of the room.
Gu Xiaoxi sealed the door with a talisman, and then gave Concubine Zheng a cup of medicine.
She waited until Concubine Zheng fell asleep before she started giving her acupuncture.
Concubine Zheng kept coughing, and her shaking body would affect the acupuncture, so the procedure could only be performed when she calmed down.
After giving the injection, she took the patient to a space to draw blood and take X-rays. The whole round took about an hour and a half.
After coming out, she immediately went forward to open the door and let Nanny Zheng and the others in.
After they came in, Gu Xiaoxi handed a porcelain bottle to Madam Zheng and said, "Since you are still restless, just take this pill. Let them continue to boil the medicine they prepared before. Bring it in and pour it out. You don't need to give it to your queen.
I'll come back to check on her in three days. Once the poison is cleared from her body, her cough will gradually subside. However, you all know the current situation in the palace, so feigning illness is still necessary."
"Thank you, Master. I understand." Madam Zheng bowed and thanked him. Then she looked at the master on the bed and asked, "Master, when will our master wake up?"
Gu Xiaoxi stepped forward and gave her an injection. After Zheng Fei woke up, she spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Empress!" Madam Zheng was terrified.
"Don't worry, look, the blood is all black. Spitting it out will be good for your master." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi looked outside and suddenly said, "Madame Zheng, go out and shout that your master is vomiting blood. Let those people outside cheer it up."
"Yes, let those people be happy, and your master will be safer." Nanny Yang also thought this was a good idea.
"Thank you, Master, and thank you, Madam Yang, for making the trip. When I get better, I will definitely come to thank you." Concubine Zheng said gratefully.
“No, no, no, the palace is not peaceful right now, it’s better for you to pretend to be sick for the time being.
But there's one thing you need to be aware of." Nanny Yang said, looking towards Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi nodded, and Nanny Yang told Concubine Zheng that the Queen wanted to adopt the Seventh Prince.
After hearing this, Concubine Zheng became angry and anxious, and started coughing violently again.
Gu Xiaoxi patted Concubine Zheng on the back and said, "Your Majesty, there's no point in being anxious. The more anxious you are, the less likely you are to come up with a good solution."
"Yes!" Nanny Yang also comforted Concubine Zheng.
Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment and said, "In fact, the Emperor has long wanted to deal with the Queen. He may not agree to the Queen's suggestion. I'm worried that the Queen will take action against you.
Therefore, you have to think of a way to let the Seventh Prince bring the Emperor to stay in your palace more often.
Also, tell the Seventh Prince that no matter what happens, he must not speak to the Emperor. The Emperor is your only support."
"I'll remember what the master said." Concubine Zheng nodded in understanding.
Thinking that the queen was going to take her son away, she told herself that she must get better as soon as possible.
"With your health condition, if you eat well and take medicine properly, you will be well in less than a month. However, all the food you eat must be tested for poison." Gu Xiaoxi explained to Concubine Zheng, and then took out a processed silver needle.
"Use this to test poison. It can detect poisons that ordinary silver needles cannot detect. If you see blue or black on the bottom of the needle, it is poisonous." She explained in detail.
"Thank you, Master!" Nanny Zheng stepped forward, took the silver and put it away.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Gu Xiaoxi whispered, "We'll leave first."
