The imperial physician who was examining Zhao Xun's pulse stood up and said, "Your Highness, the poison has already penetrated Zhao Xun's internal organs. I am powerless to treat this poison."
Fortunately, he wasn't checking the pulse of Tu Liangyuan, His Highness's favorite. If it was Tu Liangyuan, he wouldn't dare to speak so directly, fearing that His Highness would say, "If you can't cure her, I will bury you with her."
I heard that several colleagues encountered this problem while treating a prince's favorite concubine.
Fortunately, in the end, the favorite concubine was stabbed with a hairpin by another favorite concubine and died on the spot.
The prince was in a hurry to deal with another favorite concubine and had no time to deal with them, so he escaped.
Otherwise, they might really be implicated.
Sure enough, the next moment he heard the tall man ask indifferently, "What poison?"
There was no sign of forcing him to be cured.
The imperial physician bowed and said, "I need to see what Zhao Xun eats before I can make a judgment."
At a glance from Jiang Jingchuan, Li Shi brought the things to the imperial physician.
While the imperial physician was identifying the poison, the imperial physician who was taking the Crown Princess's pulse also stood up on the other side.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess was frightened and choked on some water. Fortunately, it's summer now and the water in the pool is not cold. The Princess's pregnancy is fine and she will be fine after taking two doses of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine."
"Go down and get the medicine."
"promise."
Dabao sighed, "The pregnancy pill left by the young master's fox friend is really good."
Tu Qingyu: "It's good only if there's nothing wrong with the fetus. If there's something wrong, she can't be considered good."
The advantage of the pregnancy pill is that it will not be easy to miscarry the baby once you are pregnant. Even if you are given an abortion drug, as long as the drug is not too strong, the fetus will still cling firmly to the mother's body.
But the mother has to bear the damage.
Just like this time, under normal circumstances, after such a shock, even if the miscarriage does not occur, there will be spotting.
But the Crown Princess was fine, which only meant that the fetus was madly absorbing nutrients from the mother to protect itself.
If this happens a few more times, the fetus will be fine, but the Crown Princess's health will get worse and worse.
"Your Highness," another imperial physician stood up. "This poison is called the Throat-Sterling Poison. Just as its name suggests, only a tiny amount is needed to instantly sever the throat.
The poison is extracted from a tree that grows in the south called the Gorgon."
"south?"
"Yes, in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou."
"You should leave now."
"promise."
He lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and tapped the table with his fingers intermittently.
After a long while, he finally spoke, and directed his attack at the Crown Princess first. "Crown Princess, can you please tell me, is this flower viewing banquet just for the sake of enjoying the flowers?"
"No, what else?" The Crown Princess was still trembling. Facing the Crown Prince's questioning, she lost her usual gentleness and courtesy for the first time. "Your Highness, do you think that I would hold such a flower viewing banquet to murder Tu Liangyuan?"
"Or do you think, Your Highness, that I would risk my own life to frame someone?"
"Your Highness, am I such a person in your heart?"
"After being married for so many years, I have lost all credibility in your heart, haven't I?"
"I am not as important as Tu Liangyuan in your heart, Your Highness. So I deserve to be pushed into the water and questioned by you, right?"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and by the end her voice was trembling.
His eyes were filled with disappointment towards the prince.
The prince remained unmoved and continued to ask, "Then why did you specifically ask Tu Liangyuan to come to you?"
The Crown Princess's face froze, as if she remembered something, but she eventually calmed down.
"It's just that Tu Liangyuan is not interested, so I want to take her to see the scenery."
The prince gave her an ambiguous look, "Really?"
The prince didn't look at her again, but looked at Li Shi, "Did you find out who the woman was?"
"Your Highness, Wu Fengyi refused to admit her guilt. Later, when her family was mentioned, she began to relent. She should be giving her statement now."
"But we have found out something else." He San glanced at the Crown Princess sitting below and hesitated.
"explain!"
"Yes, Wu Fengyi is the legitimate daughter of Wu Tongzhi of Qianzhou. Your servants have found out that Wu Tongzhi was once a student of the Prime Minister. When Wu Fengyi came to Beijing for the selection, she lived in the Prime Minister's residence for a period of time."
"That's impossible!" the Crown Princess retorted in disbelief. "She lived in my house for a while, how could I not know?"
He San: "When Wu Fengyi entered the palace, Your Majesty had already been the Crown Princess for eight years. I guess your family didn't tell you."
"This is also the cover-up done by the Wu family and the Prime Minister's Mansion. If it weren't for me putting in some effort, I really wouldn't have been able to find out what was going on."
What this means is that the Prime Minister's Mansion may not have told anyone, not even the Crown Princess, and he did it quietly.
"This is impossible. Dad is the Prime Minister. How could he do such a mean thing?"
But although she said this, she was a little shaken in her heart.
She remembered that her mother came to the palace to see her a few days ago.
What he said implied that he hoped the baby in her belly would be the eldest son. If it was the eldest son but not the eldest, given His Highness's favor for Tu Liangyuan, who knew who he would favor in the future.
After all, since ancient times, there have been very few legitimate sons who ascended the throne.
She also said that the lotus flowers outside were blooming beautifully, and if she felt bored during her pregnancy, why not hold a lotus banquet and have fun with everyone in the harem.
She guessed what her mother wanted to do at that moment and refused out loud.
But her mother repeatedly assured her that they would not do anything, but if anyone wanted to harm Tu Qingyu, she was also asked not to interfere.
