Shen Yuerong felt more and more that the person in front of her must be very familiar with her father.
Could it be that the Queen also knows something about my father’s death?
"Empress, the Queen Mother is still waiting for Miss Shen. If you don't have anything else to do, there is no need to chat here. If the Queen Mother's illness is delayed, neither you nor I can afford it."
Nanny Qin's expression was very cold, and her tone towards the Queen was also very cold, not to mention that as a servant, she should respect her master.
The queen seemed to be a little afraid of Nanny Qin. When she heard her question, she quickly took two steps back and said, "I'm fine. Miss Shen, please."
Shen Yue nodded. Although she felt it was a little strange, she had seen the Queen's fear and tolerance of the Empress Dowager before. Perhaps it was because Nanny Qin was the Empress Dowager's confidant and also represented the Empress Dowager to some extent.
Led by Nanny Qin, Shen Yuerong walked into this fairly familiar palace.
Chi Mu followed behind until he was stopped by Nanny Qin.
"Go ahead and you will reach the Empress Dowager's bedroom. It would be inappropriate for Your Highness to follow us. Please wait outside."
The queen also stopped and looked as if she would not go in either.
Chi Mu looked at Shen Yuerong with some worry, but the latter just waved her hand to reassure him.
"I can go in by myself."
Shen Yuerong reached out her hand and took her medicine box from Qinghua beside her, then looked at Nanny Qin, "Please lead the way for me, Nanny."
Nanny Qin nodded, took her and walked deeper into the palace for a while before they finally reached the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
The Empress Dowager I saw a few days ago was still very beautiful, but now she looked a little haggard.
When the Queen Mother saw Shen Yuerong, she happily stretched out her hand and pulled her to her side.
"It has been a long time since we last met. I heard about what happened to you in Jiangnan. The prince really lost his sense of propriety. I have already asked the queen to keep an eye on the prince and not to do such ridiculous things again."
Although the Empress Dowager was locked up in this deep palace, she knew everything about the previous dynasty.
Chen Yuerong lowered her head, "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother, but everything is in the past. There is no need to blame the person in front of you for the past. Why don't I take the Queen Mother's pulse first to see what is going on."
Shen Yuerong obviously didn't want to mention the matter of Jiangnan and the prince's lineage. The Queen Mother wanted to say something, but in the end she just whispered, "Whatever."
Shen Yuerong took out all the things she was going to use, and then took the Queen Mother's pulse.
It's just that the pulse is a little strange. It seems that there is nothing wrong, but in fact, there are signs of poisoning.
After half an incense stick.
"How? I asked those doctors, but none of them would tell me the truth. You should tell me the truth. How long can I live?"
Shen Yuerong didn't know where to start with this. Although the poison in the empress dowager's body was not common, there must be an antidote for any poison.
Even if it's fighting poison with poison, there is a solution.
Just from the pulse, it seems that this imperial physician must have followed someone's instructions. In recent days, although it was known that the Empress Dowager was in poor health, no one prepared an antidote for the poison. Instead, they just prescribed some blood-replenishing medicine.
Although it is very mild, it still has some effects on the body.
"I…"
At this moment, Shen Yuerong didn't know how to answer and just wanted to get away with it.
But the person in front of her was the empress dowager, so how could she let a little girl like her fool around?
At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the group of people who walked in was led by the emperor.
Shen Yuerong stood up and saluted the emperor, then looked at Chi Mu.
Chi Mu quickly walked to her side and gave her silent support.
Shen Yuerong's eyes were fixed on the Queen and the Emperor who barged in.
The Queen was obviously much more flustered today than before, and the Emperor who appeared at this moment also looked guilty.
Could it be that the poison in the Empress Dowager's body was caused by this couple?
But if the two of them were involved, how could the prince possibly get this thing? On Shen Yuerong's head.
This is becoming increasingly incomprehensible.
"Miss Shen, what did you see? For the Queen Mother's health, I have invited famous doctors and physicians in the capital to see her, but in the end they just said that she was weak and had some symptoms at an old age, and asked her to rest well. But I see that the Queen Mother's complexion is getting worse day by day, and those medicines seem to be useless."
It's not suitable for the disease, it's just some warm tonic medicine?
If the Queen Mother was in good health, those things would have had some effect, but right now there was poison in Queen Mother's body, and the poison was harming her body.
Shen Yuerong looked at the emperor's expression and did not intend to alert the enemy for the time being, so she smiled and replied, "It's not a serious illness. After all, the queen mother is old, and her body is naturally not as strong as before, so it's normal to have some minor illnesses and disasters. Don't worry too much."
When everyone heard Shen Yuerong's words, they all looked relieved for some reason.
"Since the Queen Mother has always been in good health and there is nothing wrong with her, I can rest assured."
The emperor seemed to be afraid that Shen Yuerong would say something, and after hearing that there was no problem, he pulled them out of the Empress Dowager's residence together.
Just when Shen Yuerong was about to say goodbye, she heard the Queen say, "Miss Shen and I have always hit it off, and there are some women's intimate talks. Didn't His Majesty just say that he had something important to talk to the prince about? Why don't you men talk about men's topics first, and I will talk to Miss Shen."
The emperor nodded, turned around, glanced at Chi Mu, and walked forward.
Chi Mu was a little worried about Shen Yuerong, but there was nothing he could do in the palace, so he could only hint with his eyes that Qinghua should come to him immediately if anything happened.
The Queen looked at their reluctant eyes and said jokingly,
"Look at the way you two are acting. If you don't know, you might think I want to separate you two. I just want to talk to you..."
Shen Yuerong just nodded and followed the queen back to the queen's courtyard.
Thinking of what the Queen had just said outside, Shen Yuerong. He always felt that the queen in front of him must have said something that could not be told to others.
Sure enough, the queen blocked her left and right, and then looked at Shen Yuerong. He spoke with some worry.
"If Miss Shen hadn't told the Empress Dowager the real situation, she would have become even more depressed, and I'm afraid she would have been even sicker."
"You know the Queen Mother..."
The Queen sighed, looking very embarrassed. "The Imperial Physician has already warned me and Your Majesty that the Queen Mother was poisoned, but the cause has never been found. What exactly is the poison? Your Majesty and I can only put it aside for now."
