Chapter 1395 Taking the Wrong Medicine
Nan Yan looked at him and opened her mouth obediently.
With a gurgling sound, the medicine that had just been drunk was spit back into the bowl.
After she spit it out, Zhu Feng finally relaxed his tense breath. At this moment, Wang Baizhi and the others also rushed in and saw this scene.
"Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng glared at Nan Yan again before loosening his hands that were twisting her face.
Without even turning his head, he said, "Wang Baizhi, come here and try it—come and see what kind of medicine this is!"
"yes."
Wang Baizhi immediately stepped forward and took the medicine bowl. Of course, he couldn't taste it like before, and there was no need to taste it. He could smell it just by smelling it.
"Your Majesty, this is a pregnancy-preserving medicine!"
"What?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nian Qiu, who was kneeling on the ground, cried out in shock. Aunt Tongyun, who had just been busy outside and had rushed over when she saw Zhu Feng and the others suddenly come back, had just walked to the door when she was also frightened by these words and widened her eyes.
She even forgot to greet him and rushed over.
"this--"
He looked at the medicine bowl in Wang Baizhi's hand and smelled it again.
He was suddenly shocked.
This bowl of medicine is really a pregnancy-maintaining medicine!
Aunt Tongyun was a little confused at this time. She looked at the medicine bowl, then at Nanyan, who was pale and frowning, and asked anxiously, "How could this happen? Wasn't the Empress drinking aconite soup? How did it become a pregnancy-preserving medicine?"
Zhu Feng and Wang Baizhi looked at each other.
Others may not know yet, but the two of them have already understood it now.
The Imperial Concubine's Aconite Soup and the Concubine Ning's pregnancy-maintaining medicine have been swapped.
Aunt Tongyun hurriedly walked to Nanyan's side again and asked her anxiously, "My lady, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Nan Yan shook her head: "No."
Although the pregnancy-maintaining medicine was not the Aconite Decoction she needed, the herbs in it were harmless to the body, so even if she drank it, there would be no effect.
only--
Aunt Tongyun was still a little at a loss, but Wang Baizhi had already stepped forward and asked solemnly, "My Lady, is this the same 'Aconite Soup' you've been drinking these days?"
Nan Yan said, "I, I don't understand pharmacology, so I don't understand."
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Wang Baizhi thought for a moment and said, "Aconite Soup tastes bitter, which means it's very spicy. But in this pregnancy-maintaining medicine, the amount of Eucommia ulmoides, Cuscuta australis, and donkey-hide gelatin is relatively large, so the taste is relatively sweet."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "The medicine I've been taking lately is quite sweet."
“……!”
Wang Baizhi gasped.
Aunt Tongyun's face also turned pale: "My Lady, what you have been drinking is the medicine for pregnancy maintenance!"
"Really?"
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Abortion-preserving medicine? How could that be?"
“…”
"Why did the pregnancy-preserving medicine get sent to me?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her without saying anything, but everyone's eyes once again fell on the young eunuch from the imperial pharmacy who had just been brought in by Eunuch Yu and others. He was so scared that his whole body was sore and he was kneeling on the ground trembling.
Zhu Feng asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
The young eunuch was so frightened that he almost fainted. He kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, this servant really didn't know. I was only in charge of delivering medicine in the Imperial Pharmacy. Every time the medicine was boiled, it would be placed on the table. I delivered it according to the label on the tray. The label clearly stated that it was medicine for the Imperial Concubine!"
He kowtowed as he spoke.
The sound of "dong dong dong" shook the entire bedroom, and soon, blood came out on his forehead.
Judging from his expression, he really doesn't seem to know.
But the anger in Zhu Feng's heart would not be extinguished just because they "didn't know".
With a cold face, he first said to Wang Baizhi: "What effect will this medicine have on her?"
Wang Baizhi hurriedly said, "In reply to the emperor, although the medicine is not suitable for the condition, most of the ingredients in the pregnancy-maintaining medicine are beneficial to women's health, so there will be no harm to the imperial concubine after drinking the medicine."
"Then why is she still so sick?"
"The medicine is not suitable for the condition. Aconite Decoction is the best medicine for dispelling cold and relieving coughs, but this medicine does not have such an effect. Moreover, Your Majesty caught a cold a few days ago, which has made the condition worse, and now—"
Zhu Feng's face darkened.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.
"The Queen has arrived."
Hearing this voice, everyone in the bedroom stood up. Nan Yan also raised her head and saw Xu Miaoyin and several palace maids walking in from outside.
Everyone immediately knelt and bowed: "Greetings to the Queen."
Xu Miaoyin walked straight in and saw Nan Yan lying on the bed at a glance, but she still knelt down in front of Zhu Feng first.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
Zhu Feng looked down at her and said, "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Why is the Queen here today?"
"Oh, I heard early this morning that the imperial concubine had arrived at the emperor's bedroom, so I came here to take a look."
Then she walked to the bedside and asked, "Sister, how are you?"
Nan Yan looked up at her and was about to speak when she couldn't help coughing twice. After finally stopping, she said softly, "I lost my composure. Your Majesty, it's nothing serious. I just took the wrong medicine."
"What?"
"The Imperial Pharmacy made a mistake with my medicine, and I've been taking the medicine to maintain my pregnancy."
"Pregnancy-maintaining medicine?"
Xu Miaoyin frowned and immediately understood what was going on: "Concubine Ning's pregnancy-maintaining medicine?"
"Exactly."
Nan Yan said, "The imperial physician just said that the medicine is not suitable for my condition, so I have been suffering from a cold these days."
"How could this happen? The people at the Imperial Pharmacy are so careless that they even made such a mistake!"
When Xu Miaoyin heard the news, she was immediately filled with anger. She turned around and glared at the young eunuch kneeling on the ground, and angrily asked, "Are you from the Imperial Pharmacy?"
The blood on the young eunuch's forehead flowed down his face, it was a horrible sight.
At this moment, facing the Queen's anger, she was so frightened that her whole body was shaking like a sieve, and she kept saying, "Queen, please spare me, I really don't know."
Xu Miaoyin said angrily, "Call the people from the imperial pharmacy to me!"
Upon hearing this, the young eunuch breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, if he continued to stay here, he would be the one who was wrong, but if he asked him to call the people from the Imperial Pharmacy, he would be investigating someone else.
So he immediately stood up from the ground and was about to walk out.
But Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
However, before he could finish his words, Nan Yan, who was sitting on the bedside, said, "Her Majesty, you should punish the people in the Imperial Pharmacy. They could even make such a mistake. If the medicine sent that day was poison, wouldn't I have died unjustly?"
“…”
The young eunuch ran away in a flash.
After hearing her say that, Zhu Feng was at a loss for words. He just frowned slightly and turned to look at her.
But Nan Yan remained calm and just tucked the corner of the quilt.
The young eunuch ran out and delivered the message to the imperial pharmacy.
But the news spread faster throughout the palace.
