Chapter 301 Your Highness, Your Master
Since the problem lies with the silver needles, they will definitely replace them when Yu Hai isn't looking.
Jiang Wan Ning glanced at Song Zhu Ran on the bed and said to Empress Song Zhu Yi, "Your Majesty, I will go and take Consort Song's pulse first."
The Empress nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty!" Imperial Physician Han spread his arms to stop her, "This humble servant has already examined and treated Consort Song. This Princess of Langya is Yu Hai's apprentice. How can we trust her to treat Consort Song?"
"If you don't shut up, I'll have your tongue cut out." This was the first time in her life that Empress Song Zhuyi had spoken such cruel words to someone.
Upon hearing this, all the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground.
Even Song Zhuran, who was 'dazed' on the bed, woke up groggily, her voice weak, "Sister, sister, please don't blame me, it's all because Physician Han is too concerned about my health."
"Sister Jiang, come here." Song Zhuran pulled her arm out from under the covers and said as Jiang Wanning approached, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Jiang."
“I also believe it wasn’t Doctor Yu, but in order to clear Doctor Yu of suspicion, I just sent someone to summon His Majesty.”
"After all, my elder sister has a good relationship with you, Sister Jiang. If this matter is not handled properly, it will have a negative impact on her. I believe His Majesty will handle it well."
Jiang Wan Ning remained calm and said lightly, "Consort Song should rest first. Her Majesty is your elder sister and the head of the harem. She will naturally give you an explanation for this matter."
"Even if I have a very good relationship with Her Majesty the Empress, I am still an outsider. Her Majesty would not turn against her own sister for the sake of an outsider, wouldn't you agree?"
Jiang Wan Ning's words left Song Zhu Ran speechless, and in the end she could only manage a forced smile, "Sister Jiang is so insightful."
"Ranran didn't think that much about it. Sister Jiang and my elder sister misunderstood."
Jiang Wanning did not reply further, but sat by the bed and took Song Zhuran's pulse.
"Ningning, how is Consort Song?"
Empress Song Zhuyi asked. If it were in the past, Song Zhuyi would have been full of worry, standing by the bedside constantly comforting Song Zhuran, and calling her "Ranran" repeatedly.
Now the Empress only says "Consort Song."
If Song Zhuran were to ask, she would only say that the rules cannot be broken, and as the mistress of the harem, she must abide by the rules.
Song Zhuran naturally couldn't say anything more. Everyone around her thought that Song Zhuran and Emperor Xiao Yu had inexplicably slept together, and that Empress Song Zhuyi had caught them in the act.
The Empress was angry, so she no longer treated Song Zhuran the same way as before.
Jiang Wanning placed Song Zhuran's hand under the covers, stood up, bowed to the Empress, and said, "Your Majesty, Consort Song is not in any danger."
"She must have been poisoned first, but only in a trace amount that was not fatal; she just needed simple acupuncture."
Jiang Wanning looked at Yu Hai as she spoke, and Yu Hai nodded, "That's right, that's exactly it."
Jiang Wanning continued, "But when Yu Hai was applying the acupuncture, there was another kind of poison on the needle. This poison entered the body through the skin. The two poisons collided, and instead of accelerating the spread of the toxins, they restrained each other."
"Later, Physician Han came and used acupuncture on Consort Song to control the two poisons, preventing them from invading her internal organs."
"But now, if we want to completely detoxify, the most important ingredient is the blood of a close relative."
"So you mean, you need my blood?"
Jiang Wan Ning nodded, "If it's from Lord Song or Madam Song, that's fine too."
"No, going back and forth like this will not only waste time, but the toxin may also spread rapidly. If it reaches the internal organs, then there will truly be no cure."
Physician Han immediately stopped him.
The Empress glanced at Physician Han and asked, "Ningning, is what he said true?"
The Empress now only trusts Jiang Wan Ning and the people Jiang Wan Ning recommends to her.
Jiang Wan Ning nodded, "It is indeed as Physician Han said."
"Then let me use my blood," the Empress said. "Someone, go and fetch a dagger and a bowl."
“Your Majesty, this is quite a large amount, requiring a large bowl. Even most people would find it difficult to handle under normal circumstances, let alone someone as pregnant as you are now,” Jiang Wan Ning reminded her.
Empress Song Zhuyi then realized that Song Zhuran not only wanted to get rid of Yu Hai, but also wanted to weaken her body so that even if the child was fine, she would die if she had a difficult birth and bleeding later.
When the time comes, the emperor will definitely think it would be better to hand the child over to his aunt. He really plans so far ahead every step of the way.
To put it another way, if she were to lose her child because of something wrong, the Song family would definitely find a way to get Song Zhuran pregnant, and in the end, her position as empress would be meaningless.
Once she dies, Song Zhuran will rightfully take her place again.
The key question is, she used all her cunning to enter the palace, not because she really wanted the position of empress. What exactly does Song Zhuran want to do?
"Sister, you're pregnant, don't do such a thing for Ranran." Song Zhuran's voice was extremely weak.
Imperial Physician Han continued, "Actually, Consort Song didn't want us to tell Her Majesty the Empress just now because she heard what I said about this matter and didn't want Her Majesty to be in a difficult position or worry."
"Hmph." Yu Hai glared at Physician Han. "So you're going to tell the Emperor, to make him misunderstand the Empress?"
Jiang Wan Ning suppressed the urge to smile. Ever since she met Yu Hai, she had always avoided important people and avoided provoking them if possible.
He always says there are no human rights here, that people kill without warning, and that he'd better not step forward and play the subservient role.
It seems he was really angry this time, which is why he said such things at this moment.
Physician Han was furious. "You murderer, what right do you have to talk about others here?"
"Smack!"
No sooner had Physician Han finished speaking than Jiang Wan Ning slapped him hard across the face.
"Princess Consort of Langya..." Imperial Physician Han covered his slapped cheek, looking shocked. "I am, after all, an official of the court. How could you hit me like that?"
"I hit you for your own good." Jiang Wan Ning casually straightened her sleeves. "Do you know who you just framed?"
Physician Han glanced at Yu Hai, looking completely clueless, and said, "Yes...yes, Doctor Yu, Your Highness's master."
"She is not only my master, but also the son-in-law of the Western Xia and the son-in-law of the leader of the Lingxiao Sect."
“You said that you were disrespectful to him today and even tried to frame him for murder. If the Western Xia princess comes to demand the person, His Majesty will not be able to hand over the person, which will cause a war between the two countries.”
"I'm afraid it wouldn't be too much to exterminate your entire family."
“At that time, neither you nor your master will be able to escape.” Jiang Wan Ning said, deliberately glancing at Song Zhu Ran on the bed.
