Princess Zhaohua's symptoms did not improve until Jiang Yuanzheng and his favorite student arrived at Shoukang Palace.
She kept instinctively grabbing her neck, twitching uncontrollably, and gasping for breath intermittently. This went on and on, her expression painful.
"Doctor Jiang, what happened to her?!" The Queen Mother was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. She could only hold her in her arms. "Today's diet and environment are no different from usual. Why did she become like this?"
"In reply to the Empress Dowager, Her Highness the Princess... appears to have been poisoned. I had no idea..."
"Assholes! What's the point of the emperor giving salaries to people like you? The poison in the fish soup needed to be identified by the imperial master. Now, I can't even find the cause of my most precious granddaughter's illness!"
Jiang Yuanzheng was terrified and had no choice but to kowtow, admit his mistake, and ask for forgiveness.
After all, as an old imperial physician in the palace, he rarely had the opportunity to deal with difficult and complicated diseases in the world.
Aunt Zijin was also extremely anxious: "Empress Dowager, how about I go and invite the Imperial Preceptor?"
“…” The Queen Mother did not respond.
She also had concerns about this powerful imperial tutor. She feared that the royal family would attach too much importance to him and habitually turn to him for solutions to difficult matters, which would in turn bring disaster upon themselves.
However, her own granddaughter was lying in front of her, suffering terribly from illness, and she couldn't bear to let her continue to suffer.
After thinking it over again and again, he finally agreed to Zijin's request.
The urgent news from Shoukang Palace was passed to Yiqingtai——
"Sir, I heard that the little princess is ill and has been poisoned. I need your help in diagnosing and treating her!"
"knew."
Yu Huai still sat there, not moving.
The servant, not understanding his attitude, added, "Sir, the aunt of the Empress Dowager has arrived, which shows that the situation is urgent. Would you like to go and take a look?"
"Tell her that I am in seclusion practicing. If I am interrupted, my meridians will be severed and I will die."
"grown ups?!"
Yu Huai slowly opened his eyes, his cold and arrogant face full of impatience: "Don't you understand?"
"Yes, yes, I understand. I will report this to Auntie right away."
Zijin, who was waiting in front of Yiqingtai, obviously found it hard to accept such a result.
"Why would the Imperial Master choose to go into seclusion at this very moment?"
"Yes, Auntie, I dare not deceive you!" The man repeated the original words, "If I force the door of the underground palace open and interrupt the Imperial Master's practice, his meridians will be severed and he will die!"
"That's not necessary."
Zijin didn't find any reinforcements and became more and more anxious.
After returning to Shoukang Palace, he was inevitably subjected to another barrage of questions: "How dare he! The princess is critically ill, and he actually uses seclusion as an excuse to refuse? Just because he previously offended Lord Yu Huai, he is going to watch my granddaughter die?!"
"Your Highness, I have already informed His Majesty. I hope he has a miracle doctor who can save the little princess."
At this time, Xie Yanci was discussing state affairs with important officials in the Changsheng Palace. Even Eunuch Yang was not allowed to enter without permission.
Therefore, the news that Zi Jin had delivered earlier was delayed for a long time before it reached the emperor's ears.
"What?! Zhaohua is unwell, why didn't you inform me earlier!"
Eunuch Yang was also in a dilemma: "Your Majesty, you issued a ban when you entered, and I dare not trespass."
"Do you know that in an emergency, we must act decisively?! Forget it, let's go to Shoukang Palace!"
——Sang Yuxuan.
Concubine Xin was still lying at the table studying Taoism seriously, but she couldn't stand the fatigue and could only nod and doze off.
"Sister Yi, why hasn't the matter of the rally been resolved yet? I also want to find out who poisoned Lady Wen. She's such a good person who knows right from wrong!"
"Hush, keep your voice down." Wei Shuyi was embroidering clothes for her daughter again. "We should just wait and see what happens. There's no need to pay too much attention to this matter. The one who's trying so hard to find the real culprit should be the one in the Yanxi Palace."
"That's right! Sister Yi, why are you embroidering these every day? Her Highness is still young enough to be held in my arms. Does she grow that fast?"
"You don't know, Zhaohua is changing every day now. If I don't prepare clothes early, I'm afraid..."
"Sister Yi, she is the most honorable eldest daughter of the Emperor of our Great Zhou!" Concubine Xin played with her sewing box. "Are you afraid that the people in the Clothing Bureau will be tactless and deliberately not send clothes to the princess?"
The two were talking and laughing when they heard someone running towards them in a hurry!
It's a silver candle!
The last time I saw her like this was because Zhaohua vomited milk.
Wei Shuyi's heart was instantly shrouded in dark clouds: "What's wrong?"
"Noble Lady Yi, do you know anyone who's proficient in medicine?" Yin Zhu was running out of breath and couldn't bear to tell her the truth. "Shoukang Palace is in chaos, and we urgently need someone like this to calm the situation."
"Yes, is Zhaohua sick?"
"Noble Lady Yi, calm down first and think carefully. Is there such a person? Then we can talk about other things, okay?"
This is a disguised form of acquiescence.
Seeing that she had lost her mind, Concubine Xin hurriedly reminded her, "Sister Yi, there is! My senior brother! Not only is he proficient in Taoism, he was also a great doctor who saved lives!"
"really?!"
"Yes, aunt, please go to Qingming Pavilion and call my senior brother, Taoist Yu Pei. I will accompany Sister Yi to Shoukang Palace to visit the princess first!"
Yin Zhu immediately agreed: "Okay!"
Wei Shuyi didn't know how he got into Shoukang Palace. He was in a daze until the moment he saw his daughter's twitching body.
"Zhaohua!"
"Lady Yi, watch your step!"
If Aunt Zijin hadn't supported her in time, she would have stumbled and fallen to the ground.
Ever since entering Yonghua Palace, she had always required herself to remain calm and composed, never losing her composure. However, when it came to her daughter's affairs, she lost her composure!
The Queen Mother couldn't bear it either: "Now that you're here, come and hug Zhaohua."
"Why...why did it turn out like this? Who murdered Zhao Hua?!"
She never believed that her daughter, who had accompanied her through so many hardships and never left her side, would become ill due to her "weak constitution" after being born safely.
Zhaohua is a healthy child. Someone must want to harm Zhaohua!
The Queen Mother did not try to stop her hysterics, and the deep sorrow in her eyes surged. "The imperial physicians in the palace could not find the cause of the illness, so I asked Zijin to find the Imperial Preceptor. Who would have thought that he was in seclusion practicing cultivation? In desperation, I asked Yinzhu to ask you..."
"Master Yu! Is Master Yu here?!"
Wei Shuyi came back to his senses and began to look around, expecting to see the unprepossessing old man.
Yinzhu also quickened his pace and rushed back to the main hall at this moment.
The wine gourd on Yu Pei's waist was missing.
He even changed into court robes and saluted them respectfully.
"Excuse me for keeping you waiting, Your Majesty."
