Chapter 298 Knowing She Was Pretending ~ Something Unexpected Happened
Concubine Xu glanced at Xiao Jinyan secretly. I guess she didn't realize that she was pretending?
She glanced at Doctor Wen Yu secretly again and said, "I've taken the money, but you have to speak nicely!"
Xiao Jinyan: “…” And you’re spending money to bribe people?
After Wen Yu finished his medical examination, Xiao Jinyan asked in a cold voice, "How is Concubine Xu's health?"
"Your Highness, Concubine Xu is in good health, but she has been feeling a little uncomfortable in her stomach due to overeating recently." Doctor Wen Yu replied.
After hearing this, Concubine Xu couldn't help but complain, "You've already taken the money, why don't you say something serious? Can this stop His Highness?"
Xiao Jinyan snorted: "Since there is no serious problem, I will go back."
After he finished speaking, he told Caixia, "Take good care of your young master."
Caixia responded cautiously: "I understand."
Xiao Jinyan withdrew his gaze, turned around and left Yixiang Hall.
Concubine Xu knew she couldn't stop it. She glared at Doctor Wen Yu and said, "You've already taken the money, why didn't you say it was more serious?"
Doctor Wen Yu was confused, "I didn't take any money."
This time it was Concubine Xu who was confused.
"So you just said I was not feeling well?"
Doctor Wen Yu said, "Concubine Xu is indeed suffering from food accumulation. Doesn't Concubine Xu feel that her stomach is a little bloated?"
Concubine Xu was stunned for a moment, and touched her stomach, which seemed to be a little bloated.
Xiao Jinyan returned to the Qimeng Palace and heard the melody of high mountains and flowing water from afar. Compared with before, it seemed a little more impetuous, which showed that the person playing the piano was in a similarly impetuous mood.
He walked in slowly.
Shui Yao came in to report in advance, "Princess, His Highness is back."
Xueyan raised her head when she heard that, and saw Xiao Jinyan walking slowly towards her. She was so happy that she stood up to greet him. However, as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
"Princess?" Shui Yao was shocked and ran over to help Xue Yan up.
Xiao Jinyan ordered Liu Xi in a cold voice, "Call Doctor Wen Yu over."
A quarter of an hour later, Dr. Wen Yu was invited over by Liu Xi just after he came out of Yixiang Hall.
Xueyan was lying on the bed, her face pale and sweat on her forehead.
Doctor Wen Yu was taking Xue Yan's pulse, his brows furrowed.
Xiao Jinyan asked in a deep voice: "How is Concubine Xue?"
Doctor Wen Yu said, "Your Highness, Concubine Xue is poisoned."
"How could she be poisoned?" Xiao Jinyan glanced at Shui Yao who was kneeling on the ground and asked coldly, "You are the one who takes care of Concubine Xue's daily life. Do you know why Concubine Xue was poisoned?"
Shui Yao was so frightened that she lost her soul. She replied with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I don't know."
Xiao Jinyan asked again: "Is there anyone suspicious in the Qimeng Palace?"
Shui Yao wiped away her tears and said, "The princess is served by my servants personally. Her meals are tested for poison three times a day. Even if I wanted to poison her, I would not be able to do it."
Xiao Jinyan looked at Doctor Wen Yu and asked, "Why haven't you prescribed the medicine yet?"
Doctor Wen Yu looked ashamed and said, "Your Highness, the poison in the snow smoke is very strange. I have never seen it before, and I have not yet figured out a way to detoxify it."
Concubine Xue was poisoned, which alarmed the Queen.
The Queen came in a hurry to inquire, and only found out that Xueyan had suddenly been poisoned and there was no immediate solution.
She had seen all kinds of intrigues and tricks used by the women in the palace.
Xueyan was poisoned while sleeping with the emperor today, which makes people suspicious.
She asked coldly, "Doctor Wen Yu, you don't even know what poison you were poisoned by, so what kind of doctor are you?"
"Your Majesty, this is a chronic poison. It has been a while. I need to study it further." Doctor Wen Yu answered cautiously.
The Queen frowned and ordered, "Qingying, go to the Imperial Hospital and invite all the doctors here."
"Yes." Qingying quickly went to the Imperial Hospital and called almost all the doctors over.
When everyone's attention was on Concubine Xue, a maid in a purple dress came in and took the lilies off the table.
Carefully go to a secluded place and throw the lilies into the water.
Seeing that no one noticed, he turned around and left.
Several famous doctors studied until midnight but still failed to find an antidote.
The queen waited until midnight before returning to Fengyi Palace.
Just as I took off my clothes and prepared to rest, I heard the shrill voice of Eunuch Li from outside, "The Emperor has arrived."
The dog emperor hasn’t been to Fengyi Palace since he left in anger last time. He always stays at Concubine Ning’s place.
Why did you come here suddenly today?
When the emperor came in, the empress took two steps forward and bowed, "Your Majesty."
The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the queen. "I heard that Princess Xueyan was poisoned. Is this true?"
The Queen's eyes froze when she heard this. It turned out to be about this matter. No wonder he came so suddenly.
"Your Majesty, it is true."
The emperor asked again: "Who did it?"
The Queen replied: "It has not been found out yet, and the antidote has not been prepared yet."
The emperor sat down at the table, tapping his fingers on the table, looking at the queen, his eyes fixed on the tea set on the table, and he said, "I am a little thirsty."
"I'll pour you some tea." The queen stood up and walked to the table, took out a new teacup, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and presented it with both hands.
There is no way. The dog emperor is no longer a thing, but he is still the emperor.
The emperor looked at the teacup in front of him, reached out to take it, put it to his lips and took a sip. The tea was a little cold. He frowned and looked at the empress: "Why is the tea cold?"
The queen couldn't help rolling her eyes. Shouldn't the tea be cold or hot in the middle of the night?
"I'll have someone make some new tea." The Queen turned around and told Qingying, "Make a new pot of tea."
Qingying quickly brought new tea, which the empress served herself: "Your Majesty, have some tea."
But in my heart I thought, if I let you drink, you will not be able to sleep in the middle of the night!
"Hmm." The emperor took the teacup with satisfaction, blew on it to his lips, and took a sip of tea.
The queen stood there, watching the dog emperor drinking tea leisurely, with no intention of leaving.
She yawned lightly. She just couldn't understand why the dog emperor was so fickle. Neither of his two sons was like him.
The emperor took two sips of tea and tried to find an excuse to stay, but there were no steps to go down.
A few days ago, the Queen went too far.
How could they push the emperor of a country to the ground?
"The Queen."
The queen lowered her head and said, "I am here."
The emperor raised his eyes and looked at the queen, "Do you know you are wrong?"
The queen was stunned for a moment, then realized that the dog emperor was bringing up old issues.
"I shouldn't have accidentally pushed the emperor."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction. "These few days, I have been with Concubine Ning. It is not convenient for her to be pregnant..."
The Empress immediately understood what the Dog Emperor was thinking. He felt sorry for Concubine Ning because there were too few people serving her, and the treatment of a concubine was almost catching up with that of a royal concubine.
"Tomorrow, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange a few more maids to serve you well."
Emperor: “…” Can’t you just listen to what I have to say?
Finally, the emperor left Fengyi Palace in anger again.
After leaving the Fengyi, the emperor went directly to Yu's study. He thought it was too much of a coincidence that Princess Xueyan was poisoned while sleeping with him.
"Eunuch Li, call the prince over to me."
When Eunuch Li received the order to go to the East Palace, Xiao Jinyan had already gone to the Hehuan Palace through the back door.
