"Let's go." *** held her hand, and he really liked this bold, steady and intelligent girl more and more.
Wei Ziran's proposal yesterday came to mind again. It was a good suggestion.
"The Queen is here." A palace servant saw the Queen coming and hurriedly saluted.
Then he hurried in to notify them, and when he arrived at the main hall, the empress dowager happened to be helped out by someone.
"Why did Showa come to the palace to visit the Queen Mother today?" The Queen Mother looked at *** lovingly, and *** hurried forward to support the Queen Mother.
"Mother, it's been a while since I last visited you in the palace. How are you feeling lately?"
The Empress Dowager looked unwell. Qiu Yinong looked at her carefully and thought that there might be something seriously wrong with her health.
The Queen Mother coughed lightly a few times and replied with a smile, "They are all old ailments. I'm feeling fine these days, just a little tired."
"Yier." *** suddenly remembered that Qiu Yinong had just said that she knew medical skills.
Qiu Yinong quickly stepped forward to answer. Empress Dowager looked at her tenderly and said with a smile, "I remember you said you knew medicine. Could you please take my mother's pulse?"
The empress dowager looked at Qiu Yinong curiously, then looked at her daughter, not understanding why her daughter wanted a little girl to take her pulse.
"Mother, the little girl's master is a miraculous doctor. If you don't mind, please let her take a look at you."
"Okay, since we, the Showa family, all trust her, so Queen Mother will naturally feel at ease. Let this girl show me!"
"But where is Yimei, the girl who used to serve you? Why is there such a little girl serving you instead?" After sitting down, the empress dowager looked at *** and asked curiously.
***'s expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, "I've assigned her to other tasks today. Yi'er is not a maidservant serving this son. She is a young lady from the Qiu family."
"I like this girl very much. She is beautiful, intelligent, and has excellent medical skills. I don't have a daughter, and I want to adopt her as my adopted daughter, so I brought her here for you to see."
"!?" Qiu Yinong was surprised. Why would *** say that?
*** couldn't help but laugh when he saw her surprised look. It turned out that this girl also had mood swings.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother also looked at Qiu Yinong carefully.
She was indeed a pretty little girl. Qiu Yinong quickly regained her composure and walked forward to take the empress dowager's pulse.
At the moment of taking the pulse, a cold light flashed in Qiu Yinong's eyes.
She looked at *** and then at the Queen Mother.
She even caught a glimpse of a palace maid standing not far away, looking over here cautiously.
Qiu Yinong then withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother has had some evil spirits enter her body. She should be taking medicine these days and is almost fully recovered."
*** looked at Qiu Yinong suspiciously, then glanced inconspicuously at the place she had just looked at.
He also happened to see that the palace maid was staring at Qiu Yinong cautiously, and he understood instantly.
She smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved."
"Mother, you must take care of yourself and take your medicine on time so that you can recover soon."
Hearing her daughter admonishing her as if coaxing a child, the Queen Mother was also amused: "I still remember when you were little, you were most afraid of suffering. When you had a cold, you always refused to take medicine properly. But now you are advising me instead."
*** was also happy to hear this, and as he was speaking, a palace servant brought the medicine over.
The Queen Mother's face wrinkled instantly, and the Queen Mother laughed and pointed at the little palace maid who was peeking and said, "Go and get some candied fruit for the Queen Mother."
"Yes, ***." When the palace servant saw *** pointing at him, he immediately bowed and accepted the order.
After the palace servant left, Qiu Yinong walked up directly, took the medicine bowl, smelled it, and then the coldness in her eyes became even stronger.
It really is a palace that eats people without leaving any bones. They even dare to poison the empress dowager.
However, what made Qiu Yinong even more curious was who had a grudge against an old lady and actually poisoned her in such a secret way.
Although anyone who can survive in this harem and sit on the throne of the empress dowager cannot be very good.
But this empress dowager is different, she simply got the position by chance.
She is not a wicked person. She was able to survive the last fight because she fought so fiercely that both sides suffered heavy losses and died together.
Their children also died. At that time, the old emperor was on his last legs, and the only one who had made any achievements in adulthood was the current emperor. His other sons were either still breastfeeding or too young to be able to take on such a heavy responsibility.
So, the current emperor took advantage of the opportunity.
However, the novel did not say that the Queen Mother was poisoned. It only said that one morning in the spring of the following year, the Queen Mother was found dead in her sleep by palace servants.
The reason I brought this up was because the Queen Mother died on the day before Zhiyi's birthday.
"Yier, how is the Queen Mother's health?" The Queen Mother saw that the only people left in the palace were her trusted palace maids, so she asked anxiously.
Qiu Yinong glanced at the other people in the hall and asked the small system to block the space so that only the Queen Mother and the Queen could hear it.
"Replying to @***, the Queen Mother has been poisoned."
"What!"
"Poisoned!" *** was horrified. He thought there was something wrong with his mother's body, but unexpectedly, she was poisoned.
The Queen Mother also looked at Qiu Yinong blankly, and asked puzzledly, "Didn't the little girl just say that I was just suffering from an evil wind entering my body?"
"No, Queen Mother, you've been poisoned. The poison is very secretive. It's a chronic poison that will slowly weaken your body. Have you been feeling sleepy recently?"
"Yes, I do feel sleepy easily, but I think it is caused by a cold." The Queen Mother was even more confused.
Qiu Yinong shook her head and said, "This poison should have been administered for some time. If my estimate is correct, it should have been administered for three months."
"It's been so long." *** covered her mouth. Who wanted to harm her mother?
"Well, otherwise the Queen Mother wouldn't be drowsy. If she continues to take this poison, there's a high probability that she will fall into a deep sleep forever and never wake up again."
"This is the most vicious part. By then, everyone will think that the Queen Mother died of old age and won't think of poisoning."
*** was so angry that she stood up and said, "Who on earth could have found such a vicious poison to harm my mother? Not a single doctor in the Imperial Medical Bureau could diagnose it."
"If I hadn't brought you into the palace today, wouldn't my mother be..." *** couldn't go on.
"This poison originates from the Western Rong, extracted from a certain flower. It's truly secretive, and the Imperial Physicians' fault is hardly it."
Qiu Yinong kindly said something good for the imperial doctors.
"Yier, I beg you, since you know what kind of poison this is, can you also detoxify it?" *** looked at Qiu Yinong with pleading eyes.
Qiu Yinong nodded and said, "I can solve it, but damn, this matter must be made public, otherwise, that person will try to harm the Empress Dowager."
*** frowned and agreed with Qiu Yinong's words.
