Seeing this, the palace maid advised, "Don't worry, Princess Consort. There are thousands of capable people in this world. If one imperial physician can't do it, another might. If a doctor can't do it, a common doctor might be able to!"
This palace maiden was originally from the common people and had no status or position, but she knew that there have always been many folk remedies, which are said to cure serious diseases. Perhaps there is someone who can cure this poison.
She said this to enlighten Su Mengyan, and on the other hand to give Su Mengyan a suggestion.
Su Mengyan sighed and said, "It's only been a few days since the Crown Prince left the palace, and the Eastern Palace has become like this in my hands. Sigh."
In her heart, she felt guilty towards the prince.
The prince had great trust in her before leaving, and she also told the prince that she could handle the affairs in the capital. But now not only did the seventh prince suddenly escape, but so many people in the palace were poisoned. Thinking about it, he felt speechless to the prince.
She wondered if the prince would blame her for her incompetence when he returned and knew about these things. She wasn't afraid of being blamed, she just didn't want to disappoint Situ Yao.
However, the palace maid's words also gave her an idea. Yes, if one imperial physician is not capable, then maybe someone else can do it.
Thinking of this, she hurried to ask to see the emperor.
"That's right. I know that this mistake was made because I didn't manage the harem well enough. All of this is my fault, but the lives of those palace maids are innocent. I would like to ask the emperor to recruit miracle doctors to save several lives in my Eastern Palace." Su Mengyan knelt down in front of the emperor.
Su Mengyan said this after explaining the whole matter clearly.
"What?" The emperor slammed the table.
Someone in the harem was poisoned, and many people were poisoned. The poison was also contagious. Now that he knew about this, how could the emperor not be angry?
Although he was angry, those lives still had to be saved, so the emperor issued an order allowing all famous doctors in the world to enter the palace to see patients.
The news quickly spread throughout the country, and many people came, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to make their name known.
But these people came and examined the patient, but just like the imperial doctors, they couldn't figure out what was going on.
Looking at these people one by one, he shook his head, indicating that he was powerless.
The emperor was worried.
Is it really true that no one can cure this poison? No, that's impossible. Since this poison has been discovered, there must be an antidote.
That day, the eunuch came to report that another man who claimed to be a miracle doctor had arrived.
During this period, the emperor met many people who claimed to be miracle doctors, but he found that those people had no real talents or skills, and he had no good impression of those who claimed to be miracle doctors.
But he did not refuse. After all, one more person means one more hope. Maybe this person can just cure the poison.
Let the eunuch bring the man in.
The man bowed to the emperor and introduced himself as Fan Chen'an.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the disease first broke out in the Eastern Palace. I believe the source of the disease is in the Eastern Palace. Could you let me enter the Eastern Palace to find out what's going on?" Fan Chen'an said.
The emperor thought for a moment and thought that this person actually knew that the Eastern Palace was the first to be poisoned. It seemed that this person had made a lot of plans.
Since this person came here after careful consideration, he should have some confidence in his medical skills.
Thinking of this, a long-lost smile finally appeared on the emperor's face.
"If you can suppress these diseases, then what's the harm in going to the East Palace for a visit?"
After getting the emperor's permission, Fan Chen'an did not hesitate and, led by a eunuch, came to the gate of the East Palace.
But before he could go in, he was stopped outside by a palace maid.
"Who are you and what are you doing in the East Palace?" the palace maid scolded.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the capital now, and a strange man suddenly came here. She was naturally on high alert, fearing that there would be rumors that would be detrimental to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.
The eunuch leading the way saw this and hurriedly said, "Young lady, what are you doing? This man is a doctor. He wants to come here to see how to cure your illness."
After hearing this, the palace maid hesitated. There were many people coming to the East Palace for treatment during this period, but this was the first time someone came to the East Palace.
"But our Crown Princess is the only one in this palace. Isn't this a bad idea?" The palace maid was still hesitant and unwilling to let Fan Chen'an in easily.
The eunuchs were people close to the emperor, so how could they be helpless because of a little palace maid?
"How dare you! I'm speaking to you in a nice and gentle manner, yet you're so ungrateful! If you delay the doctor from treating you, what will be your punishment? Be careful! I'll report you to the Emperor, and you'll have to be careful."
Loyalty is a good thing for him, but he cannot disregard the lives of so many people just because he is worried about the reputation of the Crown Princess.
The palace maid was startled and quickly made way to let them in, constantly comforting herself in her heart.
How could it be such a coincidence that news unfavorable to the Crown Princess would be spread.
At this time, Su Mengyan didn't know that a doctor had come here. She was taking care of the poisoned palace maid.
"Cough cough. Phew~" Su Mengyan coughed a few times, then suddenly lowered her head and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The head maid saw this and hurriedly brought water for Su Mengyan to rinse her mouth: "Crown Princess, are you okay?"
Now even Su Mengyan's health condition is very bad.
Su Mengyan spat out the water in her mouth and sighed: "Alas, I don't know if there is anyone who can cure this poison."
She was worried after all. Originally, that person was coming for her, but now so many innocent lives were implicated. How could she not be worried?
Fan Chen'an took out a stick of incense from his bag and asked, "Excuse me, could you give me a light?"
A palace maid responded and handed the fire to Fan Chen'an, who lit the incense he had taken out.
At this moment, Su Mengyan came over. She had heard the palace maid come to announce that the doctor had arrived, so she hurried over.
At this time, a little bit of black ash slowly fell from the sky.
"This..." The palace maid was shocked.
What's going on? Su Mengyan was very surprised.
We know this situation because of the incense stick that Fan Chen'an lit.
"What is this?" Su Mengyan came to Fan Chen'an and asked.
Looking at Su Mengyan's attire, Fan Chen'an knew that the person in front of him should be the Crown Princess.
He bowed to Su Mengyan and said, "To answer the Crown Princess, this thing is poisonous fog, which is what poisoned the people here."
What? Su Mengyan was also surprised.
No wonder we can never find the person who poisoned the people or the method of poisoning. It turns out that these poisons exist in the air, and people have to breathe it every day, so more and more people are poisoned.
