Chapter 104 Buried with Ai
This sentence shocked Rong Ruxiang so much that her eyes widened and she stared at Nanny Xian intently, "What did you say?"
Nanny Xian fell to her knees with a plop. "Queen Dowager, please forgive me, Queen Dowager, please forgive me. I have spoken nonsense. I deserve to die."
"No." Rong Ruxiang shook her head. "Madame Xian, please continue. What are the symptoms of that bitch Yunshu?"
"She...she's afraid of the cold. She wears a woolen coat even in the spring, and her eyelashes are frozen in the summer..."
"Your Majesty, you were in good health before the New Year. How could you suddenly... That's why this old servant has this guess."
Rong Ruxiang looked away, eyes full of disbelief, "Someone poisoned me?"
Was it the 'Ice Heart' poison she usually used?
But, Mr. Ge said that there is no cure for the poison of 'Ice Heart'!!!
There is no cure!!!
"Hurry, go and invite Mr. Ge into the palace." Rong Ruxiang was in a panic, her voice trembling.
She had been in the harem for thirty years and had used Bingxin poison to harm countless concubines and palace maids, but she had never seen Bingxin poison take effect.
She never imagined that she herself would be poisoned by Bing Xin.
"Go quickly." Rong Ruxiang yelled at Nanny Xian, "Go quickly."
Don’t waste a moment!!
After Nanny Xian left, Rong Ruxiang was still mumbling to herself, "How could this be? How could it be Bingxin Poison?"
No wonder the imperial doctors couldn't see anything. This poison was prepared by Mr. Ge, specially for her. It is colorless and odorless when the poison is administered, and it cannot be detected after poisoning. It is even more impossible to detect after death, so it can kill people invisibly and without evidence.
"Who is it? Who poisoned me?"
It is very difficult to prepare the Bingxin Poison. It contains a very rare herb. Mr. Ge once said that it would be impossible to make more Bingxin Poison.
All the ice hearts are in her hands.
How could others be so cruel to her?
So, it can’t be Bing Xin.
Thinking of this, Rong Ruxiang breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't Bing Xin, it definitely wasn't Bing Xin.
Nanny Xian was moving her legs and trying to get out of the palace. When she reached the palace gate, she saw the palace maids beside the emperor bringing Mr. Ge in.
"But are you going to see the Queen Mother?" Nanny Xian hurried over.
The palace maid nodded, "That's right."
"Mr. Ge, please come with me." Nanny Xian nodded to the palace maid, "Please also inform the emperor that this old servant has taken Mr. Ge to Ningshou Palace."
"good."
Nanny Xian told Mr. Ge about Rong Ruxiang's condition, "Sir, the Queen Mother's symptoms...are very similar to Bing Xin's..."
Mr. Ge is an old man with gray beard, and he can hardly walk properly.
No one knows what he is thinking now...
When she arrived at Ningshou Palace, Rong Ruxiang didn't even bother to put an embroidered handkerchief under her and asked Mr. Ge to take her pulse.
Rong Ruxiang stared at Mr. Ge's expression and waited silently.
But Mr. Ge's expression became more and more solemn, and Rong Ruxiang's heart sank.
"Sir?" Rong Ruxiang couldn't help but speak.
Mr. Ge changed his hand again, but his expression did not change at all.
Finally, he let go of Rong Ruxiang's wrist, "Empress Dowager, the poison you were poisoned with is indeed Bingxin."
With a loud bang, Rong Ruxiang was stunned as if struck by lightning.
After a long while, she finally asked in a stern voice, "Mr. Ge, who else did you give Bing Xin to?"
Mr. Ge knelt tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I only made so many Ice Hearts in the beginning, and I gave them all to you. I didn't keep any of them, and I never made any more."
Speaking of this, Mr. Ge also felt aggrieved.
He practiced medicine throughout his life, the first thirty years outside the palace and the last thirty years inside.
If he had not accidentally offended a high-ranking official outside the palace and been saved by Rong Ruxiang, who was still a girl, and recommended to the Imperial Hospital by her father, he would not have been blackmailed by her into preparing the Bingxin poison for her.
Whenever someone in the palace died from Bingxin poison, he would feel extremely guilty and in pain.
I finally managed to retire and leave the palace...but I still couldn't escape.
"Then how did I get poisoned? Could it be that I poisoned myself?" Rong Ruxiang was panicking, fearful...
How could Mr. Ge know...
"Mr. Ge, is there really no cure for Bing Xin?" Rong Ruxiang asked. She couldn't care less now. She had to rely on Mr. Ge to help her detoxify.
Once her poison is cured, Mr. Ge will no longer need to stay, including his son who is a doctor...
Gritting his teeth, Rongru waited for Mr. Ge's answer.
"Replying to the Queen Mother, Bing Xin...there is truly no cure."
Rong Ruxiang propped up her upper body, grabbed the teacup beside her, and threw it to the ground with all her strength.
"Ge Fu!"
"I order you to immediately begin preparing Bing Xin's antidote."
"If you can't make the arrangement, the day I die will be the day your Ge family will be exterminated."
Ge Fu prostrated himself on the ground, "Queen Dowager, I am useless. Please kill me and spare my family..."
Before she finished speaking, Rong Ruxiang smiled cruelly, "How can my life be worth the worthless life of Ge Fu?"
"If you can't find the antidote, I will pray that all members of the Ge family will be buried with me."
Ge Fu stood up and looked at the crazy Rong Ruxiang with horror...
The little girl who saved me back then had such a kind smile on her face, but now... Was it a blessing or a curse to be saved by her that year?
Rong Ruxiang glared at Ge Fu, "Why? Mr. Ge, do you think I've changed?"
She threw her head back and laughed until tears streamed down her cheeks. "Have I changed? Haha... After entering the harem, how can I maintain my true nature?"
"Just like Mr. Ge, didn't he also regard saving lives as the sole mission of practicing medicine?"
"Didn't you later prepare the Ice Heart that could kill people for me?"
"Isn't it because of me that I killed the innocent heir to the throne..."
"Hahaha."
"Mr. Ge, you don't think you can get away with your crimes once you leave the palace, do you?"
Ge Fu swallowed his saliva and said, "Old minister, I will do my best to prepare an antidote for the Queen Mother."
"If... this is accomplished, please, please ask the Queen Mother to spare the Ge family."
"Hmph." Rong Ruxiang lay back on the couch, "Mr. Ge, please hurry up. I don't know how much longer I can hold out with my current health."
Bing Xin, the warmer the weather, the colder the body...
Spring begins, summer begins...
Rong Ruxiang predicted that if there was no antidote, she would definitely not live until autumn.
She wouldn't live to see the fall... That was her intention when she poisoned Ling Chan. Now...
Rong Ruxiang didn't suspect Ling Chan at all, but she couldn't figure out who poisoned her no matter how hard she tried.
When Nanny Xian came back after sending Ge Fu away, Rong Ruxiang looked at her and even felt that she might harm her.
How could Nanny Xian not know what she was thinking?
"Empress Dowager." Nanny Xian knelt before Rong Ruxiang. "Shulan is devoted to the Empress Dowager. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this. She would never poison the Empress Dowager."
Rong Ruxiang had reason to suspect her, as everything she did was done by Nanny Xian.
Every time someone was poisoned, Bing Xin...was handed over to Nanny Xian.
If Madam Xian always left some...
"Shulan, I'm in a difficult situation, but... I have to be on guard."
"You just serve outside these days."
