Chapter 174 The Queen Mother is Angry
The other imperial doctors looked at each other, their hearts filled with worry about the emperor's condition and fear for their own safety.
The eunuchs and palace maids were busy in it...
The palace servants outside were also in chaos. They didn't know how to deal with such an emergency.
As time passed, the emperor's condition became more and more serious.
His face became paler, and his breathing was no longer rapid, but still very weak, which made people even more worried.
Zuo Dongrou sat next to Xiao Ze, but could only watch helplessly as his breath became weaker and weaker.
The imperial physician who was giving the emperor acupuncture retreated. He also looked like he was poisoned, his body trembling and sweating.
"How is it?" Zuo Dongrou asked.
The imperial physician looked at Zuo Dongrou awkwardly, "Empress Dowager, the poison the emperor was poisoned with is... very unusual..."
What this means is that they can't cure it.
"Useless! Are all the nearly one hundred doctors in the Imperial Medical Clinic useless?"
The imperial doctors looked nervous. They had carefully examined the emperor's body and found signs of poisoning.
But they couldn't find the cause of the poisoning or the antidote.
But they can't relax, they must find a way to detoxify as soon as possible, otherwise the emperor...
At this moment, a worker beside the emperor suddenly stood up.
Zuo Dongrou looked over. She had the impression that she had seen this person before, but she was not familiar with him.
The man came to the emperor and took something out of his body.
"What are you doing?" Zuo Dongrou was now nervous. Seeing his actions, she subconsciously stood up and pushed him away.
The man was quickly held down by the guards who rushed in.
He was not nervous, but looked at Zuo Dongrou, "Empress Dowager, don't you want to save the emperor's life?"
"Do you have a solution?" Zuo Dongrou asked anxiously.
The man looked at Xiao Ze lying on the bed and said, "I can only save the emperor's life, but I can't completely detoxify him."
In such an urgent situation, it is already very good to be able to save Xiao Ze's life.
As long as there is more time, the imperial physician will have more time to develop an antidote.
Zuo Dongrou stared at him, sizing up his expression, not wanting to miss any clues.
Looking at the expression of the imperial physician, it was clear that he was at his wit's end.
In that case, "Okay, come on."
Zuo Dongrou signaled the guards to let him go so that he could get closer to Xiao Ze.
"Empress Dowager..." Zuo Dongrou asked a palace maid to treat the emperor's poison. The imperial physician at the Imperial Medical Clinic was anxious, "No."
"If he is the one who poisoned the emperor, I'm afraid he will kill the emperor right now."
But Zuo Dongrou didn't dare to stop them, "I believe you."
The palace servant stepped forward and took out a roll of silver needles from his sleeve. He quickly inserted dozens of silver needles into Xiao Ze's body.
These silver needles are used to relieve pain and promote the excretion of toxins. They are similar to the acupuncture method used by the imperial physician just now, but there are some differences.
He didn't just let the silver needle pierce Xiao Ze, but continued to twist the needle with his hand... and even flicked it a few times.
The imperial doctors wanted to reprimand the emperor, but they found that the emperor's symptoms had eased, his breathing gradually became steady, and his body no longer trembled.
Seeing this, Zuo Dongrou breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew that now was not the time to relax.
Because Xiao Ze's symptoms were only relieved and not completely detoxified, Xiao Ze was still not awake.
Zuo Dongrou glanced at the imperial doctors and said, "All of you get out of here."
Although she didn't call them trash this time, her eyes revealed her displeasure with them.
The imperial doctors withdrew, looked at each other, and finally sighed as if they had escaped a disaster.
"Let's each go back and prepare a prescription of antidote for the emperor and see whose is more suitable."
The Queen Mother told them to get out, but they couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
The emperor's poison still needs to be cured.
The imperial physicians walked towards the Imperial Hospital with their heads lowered... they were already thinking about what kind of medicinal herbs could be used.
In the side hall, everyone in the hall had retreated, leaving only Zuo Dongrou, her nanny, and the lying Xiao Ze and his palace maids.
"Who are you?!" Zuo Dongrou asked.
The palace maid looked at him and regained her voice, which turned out to be a woman's voice. "Your Majesty, there is no need to ask who I am. In short, I can save the Emperor's life."
Zuo Dongrou was not so easily fooled, and since she asked him to treat Xiao Ze, she naturally had her own considerations.
Just now...he showed himself a badge on his waist.
Zuo Dongrou had seen that brand on Ling Chan, so she asked him to treat the poison for Huang'er.
"You are someone close to Ling Chan."
"She has a way to save my son, but she only asks you to save his life?"
Her eyebrows were furrowed, her eyes were wide open, and she stared at the person in front of her, as if her eyes were about to spit fire.
Her teeth were chattering, her chest was heaving violently, and she was shaking with anger. If she had a whip in her hand, she would have beaten the person in front of her to pieces.
"In order to capture Zuo Lun, she allowed my son to be tortured!" Her voice was loud and her cheeks flushed red.
The woman's voice was cold and clear. She was none other than Gong Zi, the renowned Medical Immortal. "Who poisoned the Emperor? Doesn't the Empress Dowager know?"
"My master is willing to save the emperor's life for the sake of the people of Daqi."
"Today's situation... has nothing to do with my master."
As early as a month ago, she was transferred to the capital by Ling Chan and placed next to Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze was really poisoned, and she used silver needles to stop the poison from spreading.
But detoxification...at least it's impossible now.
Zuo Dongrou grabbed the empty medicine bowl beside her and smashed it hard on the ground. The medicine bowl drew an arc in the air with a sharp breaking sound.
Gong Zi was not worried at all. Xiao Ze's life was now in his hands. Zuo Dongrou was just venting his dissatisfaction at most.
After staying with Xiao Ze for a month, she felt really sad for the people of Daqi.
How can an emperor who is only ten years old, relies on the people around him in everything, and can be easily influenced by the people around him, allow the people of Daqi to live and work in peace and contentment?
And what about Zuo Dongrou? How bad is her reputation in the palace?
There are even rumors that she had an affair with King Huai and became pregnant.
"Xuan, Xuan Lingchan enter the palace, Xuan Lingchan enter the palace!" Zuo Dongrou was furious, especially when she saw Xiao Ze lying on the couch, his breathing steady but like a dead person...
She couldn't let the prince lie like this, she had to save him.
"Let her enter the palace immediately!"
Compared with Zuo Dongrou's anger, Gong Zi was very calm.
The people sent by Zuo Dongrou quickly arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion and conveyed Zuo Dongrou's imperial decree.
The doorman did not go in to report, but directly replied, "The princess is unwell and cannot enter the palace. Please return to report to the Queen Mother."
The guards who came to deliver the decree looked at each other. The princess had lost her pregnancy due to Prince Rui's departure, and she had been nursing the pregnancy for a while...
If the princess is unwell, it must be because the fetus is in poor condition. If the princess is forced to enter the palace, what if there is any problem with the fetus? This is the blood of Prince Rui. How can they bear the responsibility?
So the guards sent someone back to tell the Queen Mother about Ling Chan's situation and ask for her opinion.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Dongrou insisted that they bring Ling Chan back.
She looked at Xiao Ze, "Ling Chan must enter the palace today!"
"Even if she is dead, her body must be brought into the palace today!"
Zuo Dongrou was really angry.
She can join forces with Ling Chan to deal with her elder brother, and all plans can be decided by Ling Chan.
But how could Ling Chan allow the prince to be poisoned despite being on guard, and not allow her people to treat the prince?
If she wanted to make those who secretly poisoned the prince mistakenly believe that they had successfully poisoned the emperor, then she could have informed them in advance and let them prepare.
You could also let the prince pretend to be poisoned. Why should he suffer like this?
She is pregnant and a mother, how could he be so cruel?
So Zuo Dongrou was extremely angry at Xiao Ze at this moment. She even wanted Ling Chan to taste the pain of having her child injured, and even wished that Ling Chan would lose the child in her belly.
The guards returned to Prince Rui's Mansion with the Empress Dowager's decree.
"The Empress Dowager decrees that Princess Wanyue enter the palace."
The doorman had no choice but to lead them into the Rui Palace. "Everyone, please wait here. I will go and get our princess."
Ling Chan was not feeling unwell. She had already seen everything that happened in the palace through the surveillance.
I also know why Zuo Dongrou was angry. She just didn't go on purpose.
"Princess..." The doorman was waiting beside Ling Chan. "The guards are waiting outside. They said it was the Empress Dowager's decree that the Emperor has been poisoned, and the Princess must enter the palace at all costs."
"The emperor is poisoned, what's the point of me going there..." Ling Chan drank tea calmly.
She knew that Zuo Lun's men had taken action.
But she didn't let Gong Zi and the others take action, and let Xiao Ze be poisoned.
She just wanted to make Zuo Lun's people sure that the poisoning was foolproof. If she had asked Gong Zi to save Xiao Ze early on, Zuo Lun might have tried a second time.
In addition, the sister who had been keeping an eye on Zuo Lun's every move sent a letter back.
Zuo Lun has already produced a powerful thunder and fire bomb. It has been nearly a month since I received the news. Zuo Lun should have stored up quite a few thunder and fire bombs.
So they can't wait any longer. If Zuo Lun stores more thunder and fire bombs, it will be difficult for them to deal with him.
Of course, Zuo Lun didn't want to wait any longer.
What Ling Chan needs to do now is to dispel all of Zuo Lun's fears and make him act without hesitation.
The doorman didn't understand Ling Chan's thoughts and just waited by the side.
After Ling Chan drank two cups of tea and ate two plates of millet cakes, she slowly stood up...
"Let's go."
Ling Chan stood up and looked in a certain direction, "Get ready for the show."
Xiao Jin, wearing an invisibility cloak, smiled indulgently.
Ling Chan held her belly and walked to the front hall step by step.
"My health is not good enough... I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"I dare not."
"Princess, the Emperor has been poisoned and is unconscious. The Empress Dowager has decreed that you enter the palace to discuss matters."
Ling Chan looked at the sky outside. It was almost noon...
"Let's go."
The doorman quickly went to prepare the carriage, and when Ling Chan slowly walked to the gate of the mansion, the carriage arrived.
"Princess, please go slower and be careful..." The doorman kept reminding Ling Chan. The way she stepped into the carriage with trembling movements was terrifying.
After much difficulty, Ling Chan got on the carriage, and the doorman breathed a sigh of relief.
"Princess, your health is very important. Please be careful." The doorman followed up with a worried look.
Seeing this, the guards also became cautious. When they escorted the carriage forward, they reminded the coachman to pay attention when they encountered bumps.
But when Ling Chan got into the carriage, she immediately became a different person and moved very swiftly.
Counting the days, the baby is due in two months.
Now she only hopes to resolve Zuo Lun's issue before the baby is born. She doesn't want to worry about Zuo Lun's affairs during her confinement.
Ling Chan's carriage went straight into the palace gate and swayed to the side hall where Xiao Ze was lying.
The guard called two palace maids over and helped Ling Chan get off the carriage.
Who knew that the moment Ling Chan stepped on the ground, she suddenly stepped on the hem of her clothes and fell directly to the ground.
The huge belly hit the ground.
"Princess." The two palace maids were terrified and hurried forward to help Ling Chan up.
The moment Ling Chan stood up, her legs went limp again, and her face was frighteningly pale.
"Princess, are you okay?" the maid asked.
Ling Chan held her belly, "I...I...I'm fine, go, go in..."
The palace maid did not dare to delay and helped her into the side hall.
"Queen Mother, Princess Rui just fell outside and her belly landed on the ground..."
Zuo Dongrou looked over, and when she saw Ling Chan's pale face, her expression was stunned.
Think about it, do it...
"Call the imperial physician!" she said anxiously.
Ling Chan sat down, stroking her belly, a trace of pain flashing across her face.
"Empress Dowager, I heard that the Emperor was poisoned?"
"How is it going?"
Zuo Dongrou's anger, which had subsided considerably, flared up again when she heard her ask this, but seeing Ling Chan's pale face...
She could only suppress her anger, "Ling Chan."
"Since you arranged for someone to be with the emperor... why did you poison him?"
"The imperial physician couldn't find out what the poison was, nor could he find an antidote."
"The prince is now poisoned and in a coma, his life or death is uncertain..."
"you."
She stared at Ling Chan's belly and said, "You are going to be a mother too, how can you be so cruel?"
Ling Chan touched her stomach, enduring the discomfort, "Hmph, so cruel?"
"It's his uncle who is cruel."
"If the emperor wasn't truly poisoned, how could Zuo Lun believe it?"
Zuo Dongrou didn't want to hear her reasons, "You're just quibbling."
He lowered his voice and said, "You could have had your men replace the poison, or discussed it with me in advance and have the prince pretend to be poisoned."
"Why, why do you really want to let the emperor be poisoned?"
"Do you... have any way to detoxify?"
The spiritual pool water in Ling Chan's space can cure all kinds of poisons, so it can certainly cure Zuo Lun's poison.
In fact, Xiao Ze has been cured of the poison, but Zuo Dongrou doesn't know it.
When Gong Zi stepped out to give Xiao Ze acupuncture, he found an opportunity to let Xiao Ze drink a few drops of spirit pool water.
The reason why Xiao Ze was still unconscious was because Gong Zi used acupuncture to prick his sleepiness point again.
Xiao Ze is just asleep now, and it doesn't cause any harm to his body.
Seeing that Ling Chan didn't answer him, Zuo Dongrou's anger rose again, and his voice became louder, "Ling Chan, are you listening to me?!"
Ling Chan glanced at the imperial physician at the door, she suddenly stood up and saluted Zuo Dongrou.
"Queen Mother, please forgive me, I..."
"Ah..." Ling Chan cried out in pain just as she started to speak, and bright red blood flowed between her legs...
