Chapter 53 Taking the Pulse

After all, for a talented person of such status, it is good enough to have the chief imperial physician to see her. In the Imperial Medical Bureau, under the Imperial Medical Officer is the Imperial Medical Assistant, under the Imperial Medical Assistant is the Imperial Medical Supervisor, and then the Chief Imperial Medical Assistant.

Most of the time, even the imperial physician would not be able to take a look, so just an ordinary physician would be enough to take a look.

But now, the emperor not only arranged for Doctor Zhao to be appointed, but also specifically ordered that no strong or dangerous drugs should be used.

This is because he was afraid that the Imperial Medical Bureau would think that the Emperor wanted Concubine Shen to get well quickly.

But the women in the harem, especially those of good family background, were all fragile and could not withstand such medicine.

Chusi was thinking that the emperor must have taken Shen Cairen seriously.

This caused everyone in the harem to look at her with awe.

In Fengzao Palace, Lu Xiaoyi was accompanying the queen. When she heard about this, she smiled and said, "Sister Shen is really favored."

The Queen said calmly: "When has Shen Chuliu ever been a soft persimmon? Don't provoke her if you have nothing to do."

Lu Xiaoyi replied with some embarrassment.

After sending Lu Xiaoyi away, the queen sneered: "The Lu family is really hopeless."

"Your Majesty, why bother worrying about her?" Emei said.

"I worry about her? I'm not that kind." The queen stood up and said, "Let her be."

"Your Majesty, look at this Concubine Shen. She has surpassed Li Xiaoyi for a moment." Peilan said with a smile.

They, the master and servant, have never paid much attention to the people in the harem.

"Did you think that Concubine Shen was not as favored as Li Xiaoyi?" The Queen rolled her eyes at Peilan.

"I just feel that...she doesn't sleep with me often." Peilan stuck out her tongue.

"Silly." The queen poked her.

"You don't see, how many times did the emperor ask her to serve the emperor? She stayed there for most of the day. Do you think Concubine Yi has this opportunity? What does it mean to sleep with her for so many times? Don't you remember your father's Xun Guifei?"

What she was talking about was, of course, the emperor of Chao State. Concubine Xun was the most favored person by her father.

"When she was still a concubine, she didn't serve the emperor in bed very often, but she could often go in and out of my father's study," the queen recalled.

Naturally, there was no such position as concubine in the Dayi Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, so what you mean is... this Talented Lady Shen... should we be on guard against her?" Emei frowned.

"People are different. I don't care about doing those things. I'll talk about it if I give birth to a son. Life is long. If you are on guard against one Shen, there will be tens of millions of Shens behind you. It's unnecessary." The queen smiled lightly: "I don't care about this."

She would only smile so beautifully when she was with her personal maid.

Peilan and Emei looked at each other and thought that the queen didn't care. Alas...

Shen Chuliu met with Doctor Zhao and asked Yuanxiao to thank him in person. She also conveyed a message: I will definitely take good care of my illness and try to see the emperor as soon as possible.

Although she had a fever, she knew it was nothing serious.

But there is a saying that goes: Take advantage of your illness to kill you.

At first, Shen Chuliu didn't really take her illness seriously. It was just a cold and a fever. She had a good constitution and only got sick once or twice a year, so it seemed serious.

But three days later, she still had a fever and she realized something was wrong.

This fever didn't seem to be caused by a cold, but rather a burning sensation in her stomach, but she didn't have gastroenteritis.

Doctor Zhao only came to see me on the first day, prescribed some medicine, and left.

At this moment, Shen Chuliu called Zirui and Zizhu to talk about this matter.

Both slaves were terrified.

"Don't be nervous. I won't take the medicine today. Let's see how the situation goes." Shen Chuliu said.

Zi Rui Zi Zhu calmed down and responded.

But there was no improvement after not taking the medicine for a whole day, and the fever became even worse at night.

The next day, Shen Chuliu began to doubt his diet.

I tried the needle and it didn't seem to be a big problem. Until nightfall, that bowl of chicken soup.

I tested the rice first, and then when I tried the soup, the silver needle changed color.

There is nothing wrong with using a silver needle to test rice or chicken soup alone.

Shen Chuliu looked at the silver needle that changed color and smiled: "The person who poisoned me is not very brave. If it was a little more ruthless, my intestines would have been pierced and my stomach would have rotted."

This poison must be extremely toxic, otherwise the silver needle wouldn't have changed color. It was a pity that they didn't dare to poison her directly.

"Go and ask the emperor for help. Tell him that I have found poison here." She thought that since she was in great favor now, she would not have any trouble asking the emperor for help.

Zi Rui went there in person. She brought the food with her from Cairen Shen's home, so naturally the quantity was larger.

"Help me change my clothes." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "The emperor has come, so I have to look presentable."

Zizhu hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed. She thought that it would be good for her master to look a little haggard when meeting the emperor.

But Cairen obviously didn't think so.

Shen Chuliu changed into a moon-white skirt and a thick water-red cape. Her hair was tied into a lily bun, but she didn't wear any jewelry.

During her illness, her appearance was naturally not as good as before, so she put on a layer of powder and a little rouge to look a little more rosy.

In Taiji Palace, Qi Yixiu had just finished dinner. When he heard about what happened to Shen Chuliu, his face fell.

Just lift your legs and walk away.

Shen Chuliu was not yet able to receive the emperor alone, so the emperor had never been to Cuiyunxuan.

This is the first time.

Yao Baolin had already brought people to greet her outside, wondering in his heart how favored Shen Cairen was.

Qi Yixiu ignored the people kneeling outside and went straight to the side hall where Shen Chuliu lived.

Inside the side hall door, Shen Chuliu held Zizhu's hand to greet them. Although she was very sick, she still smiled sweetly: "Greetings to the Emperor, may the Emperor live long and happy."

Qi Yixiu looked at Bu Luoren and picked her up: "If you are sick, there is no need to get up so quickly."

"It's not a big deal that I'm sick. I'm young and I'll be healthier after a few days of recovery. But someone is taking advantage of my illness and wants to kill me. How can I let them do what they want?"

Although Shen Chuliu spoke weakly, leaning in Qi Yixiu's arms, she seemed to be on the verge of death.

But the meaning behind the words couldn't be stronger.

Qi Yixiu was surprised again. This woman was indeed a powerful woman with a bad temper.

He thought she was going to cry about the suffering she had endured.

He didn't mind. He doted on her now, so it wasn't a big deal if she cried a little after being wronged.

However, Shen didn't do what he expected. He was surprised and looked up to Shen.

"Call Imperial Physician Zhao. Also, call Concubine Yi and Concubine Song to come immediately. The other concubines must not wander around. Also call the steward of the imperial kitchen. I want to see how this poison got into the concubines' food."

Things like poisoning cannot be taken lightly.

No matter whether it can be found out in the end, at least it should be checked.

Shen Chuliu leaned in Qi Yixiu's arms: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"If you don't have the strength, just take a nap. I'm here and will definitely give you justice." Qi Yixiu still felt a little sorry for her at this time.

"Yeah." Shen Chuliu tried to hold on, but of course he couldn't.

Soon, Doctor Zhao arrived, and he regretted his decision deeply.

I knew I should have come the next day or the day after that, why did I only come once? I didn't have time to apologize at this moment, so I took Shen Cairen's pulse first.

Our Chu Liu is still a girl studying botany.
