Chapter 371 I Can’t Trust Anyone
"Lead the way, I'll go and take a look." Ye Lixuan said.
Nanny Yang led them into the inner courtyard and then into Concubine Pang's bedroom.
After entering, Ye Lixuan ordered: "Except for Nanny Yang, everyone else please go down!"
"Yes!" The maids took the order and retreated.
Ye Lixuan closed the door and nodded to Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi took off the invisibility talisman on his body and appeared.
Nanny Yang was startled and had to cover her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from screaming.
Ye Lixuan shook his head at Nanny Yang, then said loudly, "Is mother just sleeping like this and never waking up?"
Nanny Yang understood what the Second Master meant and replied cooperatively, "Yes, we've invited several imperial doctors to take a look, but they can't figure out what's wrong."
Ye Lixuan asked Nanny Yang about some details, while Gu Xiaoxi began to examine Concubine Pang.
She soon discovered the problem. Concubine Pang was not sick, but was poisoned by a Gu, which was why she was in a deep sleep.
She stood up and walked to the table, dipped some water from the cup on her fingers, and then wrote the reasons on the table.
Ye Lixuan also dipped his hand in water and wrote, "Can you untie it?"
Gu Xiaoxi nodded and asked the two to wait at the door.
Nanny Yang looked at Ye Lixuan with concern, and when she saw Ye Lixuan nod, she walked to the door and talked to him.
There were two maids guarding outside the door. Ye Lixuan glanced at them and they both lowered their heads in fear.
"Okay, you can leave too!" Nanny Yang waved her hand.
The two girls obediently left the yard, leaving only the two of them standing at the door.
"Don't worry, Second Master. Those two girls have served the master for many years and are trustworthy." Nanny Yang said in a low voice.
"In my eyes, I can't trust anyone except you." Ye Lixuan said very clearly.
Nanny Yang couldn't help laughing when she heard this, but after the smile faded, a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes as she said, "The Third Master often said this before."
"Madam Yang, please don't mention my third brother too much in front of our mother in the future, so as not to make her sad." Ye Lixuan suggested.
"I know." Nanny Yang nodded in understanding.
In the room, Gu Xiaoxi performed a trick, then blindfolded Concubine Pang and took her to the space to remove the poison.
After the poison was removed, she was given a thorough examination.
This busy work took about an hour and a half.
It took a while, so Ye Lixuan and Nanny Yang simply sat at the door and talked.
Nanny Yang kept looking at the tightly closed door, fearing that something might happen to her master.
Ye Lixuan patted Nanny Yang's hand and told her not to worry too much.
Boom boom boom!
Finally, a voice came from inside, and Ye Lixuan pulled Nanny Yang and pushed the door open and walked in.
Ye Lixuan deliberately left the door open so that people outside could see what was going on inside to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"See, I told you that mother wouldn't wake up so soon. Maybe she was too tired." He said loudly again.
"Second Master, the Empress needs someone to accompany her." After saying this, Nanny Yang closed the door.
After the door was closed, Gu Xiaoxi came out of the space and wrote Concubine Pang's situation on the table with water so that both of them could see it clearly.
Seeing that the poison in her master's body was cured, the big stone that Nanny Yang had been holding in the air finally fell to the ground.
Gu Xiaoxi wrote down the things that needed attention and asked Madam Yang not to spread the news to others, and asked Concubine Pang to continue pretending to sleep during the day.
In addition, when delivering food to Concubine Pang, you must be careful to use servants who are completely trustworthy.
Nanny Yang bowed to Gu Xiaoxi repeatedly and expressed her gratitude.
Gu Xiaoxi shook her head, nodded to Ye Lixuan, and put on the invisibility talisman.
Ye Lixuan waited until his mother woke up, then stepped forward, took her hand and said, "Don't worry, mother. Tomorrow I will ask the emperor to let you move out of the palace and live with my son for a while."
When Concubine Pang heard this, she excitedly held her son's hand.
She never expected that the queen would be so vicious. Fortunately, her eldest son knew such a powerful girl, otherwise, her life would be in danger this time.
Ye Lixuan patted his mother's hand, stood up and left his mother's bedroom.
After leaving his mother's palace, he got on a carriage and left the palace.
The palace was too quiet, so Gu Xiaoxi could only pull Ye Lixuan into the space to talk.
"Xiaoxi, how is my mother's health?" Ye Lixuan asked anxiously.
"Apart from the poison, there is no major problem, but there are still some minor issues. If she can come out, I will prescribe some conditioning prescriptions for her and give her acupuncture. She will get better soon." Gu Xiaoxi told Ye Lixuan the results of the examination.
Ye Lixuan asked, "Can you find the source of the poison?"
"Yes, but it takes time. It's best to do it during the day. There are too few people at night and the scent can be easily discovered." Gu Xiaoxi said.
Ye Lixuan thought for a moment and said, "Then you can follow me into the palace tomorrow."
"Okay!" Ye Lixuan agreed readily.
At this time, in the palace on the other side, servants hurried in to report.
"Your Majesty, the Second Master went to Concubine Pang's palace and was not back out for several hours."
The queen lying on the bed suddenly opened her eyes and sat up when she heard this.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The master's skills are not so easy to break." Eunuch Cao, who was serving nearby, comforted her.
snort!
The Queen snorted coldly after hearing this and said dissatisfiedly, "If that old fellow was really capable, he wouldn't have let the second son get there first. He should have sent someone to find out if that old bitch has woken up."
"I obey your command!" Eunuch Cao obeyed the order and retreated.
After Eunuch Cao left, the Queen's confidante, Nanny Chen, poured a glass of water and handed it to the Queen.
The Queen took a sip of tea and said irritably, "Why didn't that damned Second Son just die out there? He causes so much trouble the moment he comes back, leaving the Prince no time to visit me in the palace."
"Your Majesty, even if that person doesn't come back, the matter of the imperial mausoleum cannot be concealed. As long as I can handle the matter well, the emperor will definitely be happy.
Besides, the Emperor has always favored you, so you don't have to worry so much," Nanny Chen comforted.
"That being said, it has been so many years, the prince is still a legitimate child, and the emperor has not mentioned the issue of appointing a crown prince. How can I feel at ease?" The queen was actually confused. She could also see that the emperor favored the eldest son.
However, the emperor just didn't mention the issue of appointing a crown prince.
Nanny Chen naturally couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, so she remained silent.
After waiting for a while, Eunuch Cao, who had just gone out, came back.
"Your Majesty, someone is coming over there."
"Call the person in quickly to answer the question." The queen said anxiously.
Eunuch Cao went out again and brought in a little maid.
"Hail, Your Majesty!" The little girl knelt on the ground as soon as she entered the room.
The Queen glanced at the maid on the ground and asked, "What was your Second Master doing there?"
"The Second Master was worried about Concubine Pang, so he went into the palace late at night and stayed with her for a while before leaving.
After they came out, I was pushed out of the yard. I watched from outside as the Second Master and Nanny Yang sat at the door of the house and talked.
They talked for a long time, and then they saw the Second Master yawning, so they went in to check on Concubine Pang, and the Second Master left. The little girl reported what she had seen to the Queen.
The Queen immediately felt something was wrong and muttered, "He came in the middle of the night just to talk to a servant?"
