Chapter 285: Silver Powder
"Imperial Physician!"
Concubine Xiang was so frightened that she almost fainted. She fell to the ground and backed away repeatedly.
"Go quickly, go to the Imperial Hospital and call the imperial physician."
The third prince spit out a mouthful of blood and then fainted on the ground. Concubine Xiang held the unconscious person and noticed that the third prince's body was twitching and shaking under her palm.
"Rui'er, Rui'er!" Xiang Guipin shouted desperately and hugged the person tighter and tighter.
But the Third Prince fell in his arms, his eyes closed, and he couldn't shout no matter how hard he tried.
Concubine Xiang was almost going crazy.
The servants in Changqiu Palace did not dare to delay and immediately went to the Imperial Hospital to find the imperial physician.
Upon hearing that the Third Prince had been in trouble again, the imperial doctors did not dare to delay and came over.
Just seeing the third prince lying in a pool of blood, everyone shook their heads with bitter expressions.
"Slave, I'm afraid I can't do anything."
The third prince was so seriously ill that his breathing became shallow and he was obviously on the verge of death.
In this state, who else would try?
Given Concubine Xiang's temper, once she was provoked, the Third Prince would not be able to save her.
If anything happens to the third prince, all of this will be blamed on them.
That's it, who would dare to rescue?
The imperial doctors shook their heads one by one: "We are not very skilled. Your Majesty should seek help from someone better."
"Useless! They are all a bunch of useless things!" Xiang Guipin's hands were shaking as she held the Third Prince.
She could clearly feel the Third Prince's body twitching a little bit in her arms.
The little person was trembling, as if he was going to die at the next moment.
Concubine Xiang had never experienced this feeling before. Even when the Third Prince was in Concubine Rong's palace, she did not have this feeling.
She felt like she was about to lose the person in her arms.
As this thought gradually flashed through her mind, Concubine Xiang Guipin hugged the person in her arms tightly.
"If you can't do it, there will always be others who can." Xiang Guipin looked at the useless people in front of her and said, "Who else is there? Are you the only useless people in the entire Imperial Hospital?"
She yelled: "Where is the imperial physician? When will he come?"
"Imperial Physician..." The young eunuchs knelt on the ground with trembling expressions: "Your Majesty, these are the only doctors in the Imperial Hospital."
When Concubine Shen gave birth to a son, His Majesty ordered most of the imperial doctors to be sent to the Hehuan Palace.
Now the Imperial Medical Service is empty and no one can be hired.
However, the young eunuchs, looking at Concubine Xiang's expression, did not dare to say these words out loud.
Ling Chun stood aside and saw the third prince with his eyes closed.
The heart that had been hanging in the air finally settled down. She breathed a sigh of relief.
The Third Prince's body was already at the end of its strength.
He seemed to be better these days, but that was only because the medicine he had been taking had been discontinued. In fact, my body has been in poor condition for a long time, and I am lucky to be alive for these few days.
Ling Chun looked at the third prince with a look of pity on his face.
But soon, this reluctance disappeared completely.
She lowered her head and stepped forward to remind him, "Your Highness, you forgot that the imperial doctors are now with Concubine Shen."
"I heard that Concubine Shen gave birth recently, and His Majesty ordered all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to go there."
These words were like a ball of fire, which immediately woke up Concubine Xiang.
She raised her head suddenly.
That pretty face was filled with hatred.
Concubine Xiang held the third prince in her arms and gritted her teeth.
"So what if Concubine Shen is more precious than the prince?"
In his arms, the third prince no longer even twitched.
Concubine Xiang felt a fear she had never felt before. She hugged the Third Prince tightly, her nails digging into his flesh.
"This is the prince, the biological son of His Majesty! If anything happens to him, all of you will be killed!"
Xiang Guipin picked up something nearby and threw it at everyone, "Go, all of you!"
"All of you go to the Hehuan Palace and invite all the imperial physicians to come to me!"
"If anything happens to the Third Prince, I will bury you with him!"
After hearing this, Ling Chun felt relieved and lowered his head quickly: "I will go and ask the imperial physician to come."
The servants in Changqiu Palace swarmed towards Hehuan Palace.
But the entrance to the Hehuan Palace was full of guards, and the servants couldn't even get close.
Ling Chun looked at the guards standing in front of him, but he did not look panicked at all.
She knelt down, kowtowed, and begged at the entrance of the Hehuan Palace: "Shen Guipin, Shen Guipin, please save the Third Prince."
Ling Chun's voice was so loud that the servants passing by stopped to look.
But she didn't care, her forehead hit the ground, and her head slammed hard on the ground: "Shen Guipin, Shen Guipin, please save our third prince."
"Our queen has offended you, but the Third Prince is innocent. Please be magnanimous and forgive the Third Prince this time."
Ling Chun knelt on the ground, begging desperately, and every word he said was calling Shen Fu for mercy.
The sound was so loud that people passing by could hear it.
Zi Su stood at the door, listening to the noise, and was so angry that she wanted to rush out.
"I'm going to rip that bitch's mouth off!"
Zi Su was about to rush out of the door, panting, but Lin An behind her held her back: "Your Highness is in a critical moment and cannot be without someone by her side. If you go over now, you will only be criticized."
"Are we just going to let her shout at the door like this?" Zi Su's eyes turned red with anger.
Turn your head and look behind you.
Doctor Xu said that the queen would be able to give birth to a baby today. I have been drinking the medicine to induce labor since early this morning, and the imperial doctors are guarding the room.
How can we call the imperial physician over at this time?
"Xiang Guipin did it on purpose. Seeing that our young lady was about to give birth, she chose to invite people at this time. It's obvious that she doesn't want our young lady to have an easy life! She is deliberately trying to disgust us!"
"I'm afraid it's not just a deliberate attempt to disgust the queen." Lin An's face darkened as he listened to the voices outside the house.
His Majesty asked him to keep an eye on Concubine Shen and make sure nothing went wrong.
Lin An guarded the Hehuan Palace as if it were an impregnable fortress, and watched as Concubine Shen was about to give birth. When Concubine Xiang Guipin brought up this matter at this time, he couldn't help but think too much.
"No matter how you deal with this matter today, your Highness will be used against you in the future."
Lin An thought much more thoroughly, and he had seen a lot in this palace.
Today is the day that Concubine Shen gave birth to a child. No matter whether this child is a prince or a princess, with His Majesty's love for Concubine Shen, the child's status will not be too low in the future.
But the third prince is also the son of His Majesty.
If something really happened to the Third Prince today, His Majesty might not care now, but what about in the future?
Whenever His Majesty thinks of the Third Prince in the future, there is no guarantee that there will always be a thorn in his heart.
Even the most terrifying thing is the rumors in the harem.
With everyone's gossip, Concubine Shen might not be able to live like this anymore.
Ultimately, this matter will be blamed on Shen Fu.
Without any soldiers, a seriously ill prince could plant a thorn in the emperor's heart and easily overthrow Concubine Shen.
This trick is really clever.
Lin An just felt that today's matter was not that simple, but he couldn't say it directly.
He just said: "The most important thing now is how to deal with this matter."
Outside the door, Ling Chun was still kneeling on the ground, crying and shouting.
Zi Su was so angry that she was about to cry. She stamped her feet and said, "What should we do? If she keeps shouting like this, they will turn black into white."
"The Queen must not know about this!" Lin An made a prompt decision: "You go and look after the Queen. Don't let her get angry."
Childbirth for a woman is a big deal in itself. If something goes wrong, it could be dangerous.
Zi Su also understood the seriousness of it and nodded.
She rolled up her sleeves and wiped away her tears, then raised her head and asked Lin An, "What about you, father-in-law?"
"We can't let this servant keep shouting at the door and ruin the reputation of the queen." Lin An frowned and said, "I'm going to find the emperor."
His Majesty had previously instructed that if anything happened to Concubine Shen, she must report to him.
Zi Su watched Lin An leave and quickly turned around and went into the house.
In the room, Shen Fu was being supported by the midwife to walk around.
The imperial doctors around were preparing prescriptions.
His Majesty attaches great importance to Concubine Shen's pregnancy and will not allow any mistakes to occur.
Since last night, several imperial physicians have taken turns to look after Chen Fu. Now that she is about to give birth, the imperial physicians are discussing the medication and various problems that will be caused by premature birth.
Zi Su stood at the door and glanced at the imperial doctors, then hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room.
"Your Majesty, would you like to have some ginseng soup and take a rest?" Zi Su came forward holding the ginseng soup.
Chen Fu's baby was premature, and in order to avoid difficulties in delivery, the midwife helped her walk around the room again and again.
Seeing that the tenth lap was about to be completed, Shen Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She took the ginseng soup handed to her by Zisudi, paused and was about to take a sip.
But I saw that the corners of Zi Su's eyes were red.
Shen Fu paused with the spoon in her hand: "What's wrong with you?"
"Have you just cried?"
Zi Su lowered her head quickly, her eyes drooping, and shook her head: "No, no."
"I just thought about the hardship of having a child, so I couldn't help it."
Zi Su was obviously not telling the truth, and Shen Fu didn't have time to think about it.
The most important thing now is her baby, which is about to be born. Chen Fu dare not think about anything else at this moment.
******
As soon as Lin An walked out of the Hehuan Palace, someone received the news.
"Your Majesty, Ling Chun is pregnant." Xi Que whispered in Concubine Rong's ear.
"Eunuch Lin has already gone out. Now there is no one guarding the Hehuan Palace except the guards."
The winter jasmine outside the window was blooming brilliantly, and Concubine Rong was standing in front of the desk, holding a brush and painting.
Hearing this, she remained expressionless. After the forsythia flower fell on the paper, she shook her head and said, "I was too impatient and lost my composure."
His Majesty decorated the Hehuan Hall like an iron barrel, and even deliberately kept Lin An.
After much consideration and careful planning, all he did was to hope that Shen Fu would give birth to a child safely.
It was obvious that His Majesty had put a lot of effort into this, but it was just a little Ling Chun who easily saw through it.
At this moment, the Hehuan Palace was like a pile of loose sand, and it was easy to do anything about it.
Concubine Rong smiled softly and handed the brocade box on the table to Xi Que: "Find an opportunity to bury it around the Hehuan Palace."
The magpie took the brocade box and opened it, but suddenly raised his head.
It turned out that the brocade box contained nothing but a little man, with the birth date of the third prince written on the wooden man.
And what was written on the wooden man's chest was clearly a curse.
The magpie just felt the heat in his hands.
"How is the third prince?" Concubine Rong put away the brush and asked casually.
The magpie quickly put the wooden man back into the sperm box: "It should be almost out of air."
The medicine that Zhou Shuyun gave to Concubine Rong before could make the Third Prince fall ill silently without anyone being able to detect any flaws.
Concubine Zhou did not give much, and although Concubine Rong appeared to listen to Zhou Shuyun's words, she actually sent someone to secretly check what the medicine was.
The medicine was nothing else but a large amount of silver powder.
Children's bodies are not fully grown yet, and their spleen and stomach are relatively fragile.
The silver powder was ground into small pieces and mixed into the third prince's daily diet for him to eat.
As time goes on, the Third Prince will feel uncomfortable. He had loss of appetite, headaches, and fever, and all sorts of other ailments were diagnosed.
But it wasn't poison, so the imperial physician couldn't find out what was wrong.
If the amount of silver powder was too much, the Third Prince's internal organs would rot and he would be dead for sure.
When the magpie thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Concubine Zhou only gave a small packet of silver powder, and the rest was ordered by their queen.
Thinking of this, she felt a pang in her heart: "My Lady, what should we do with Concubine Xiang?"
"The Third Prince hasn't even died yet, and Concubine Xiang is naturally reluctant to see the favor she had fought so hard to win die overnight."
There was a thunder outside the window. Concubine Rong put down her brush and admired her painting.
He looked satisfied: "With Lin An no longer in charge of the Hehuan Palace, the guards dare not take action."
"Is there someone who can give me some advice? Let Concubine Xiang go to the Hehuan Palace by herself. The Hehuan Palace won't let the imperial physician go there. Isn't it the same if we let her take the Third Prince to the Hehuan Palace to ask for help?"
When the magpie heard this, he quickly raised his head.
When her eyes met the smile on Concubine Rong's face, she felt a chill in her heart.
The third prince is clearly doomed to die.
It was obvious that the Empress wanted Concubine Xiang to blame Concubine Shen for the death of the Third Prince.
Today, Concubine Shen gave birth to a child, and even the Third Prince, the Great Luo Immortal, could not save the child.
If Xiang Guipin is provoked by this, she will probably blame Shen Fu for today's disaster without caring about anything.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shen gave birth to a child today..." Xi Que couldn't help but remind her.
His Majesty has high hopes for this child. If anything happens to Concubine Shen, I'm afraid even the Empress will be held responsible.
"How come I didn't know that Concubine Shen gave birth to a child?" Unexpectedly, when Xi Que said this, Concubine Rong laughed.
She laughed several times in succession, and then immediately suppressed her expression: "I just want Concubine Xiang and Concubine Shen to fight."
One is the younger sister of Concubine Dunhe, who ignores her because she raised the third prince.
The other one, not long after entering the palace, was already favored by the Emperor.
She was promoted to a noble concubine at such a young age. Sooner or later, she would be surpassed by him.
"I planned everything today just to make these two kill each other!"
She just wants to reap the benefits.
There was a loud thunder outside the window. Concubine Rong closed her eyes tightly and said, "Go."
Today, whether Chen Fu can give birth to the baby depends on whether Xiang Guipin is capable!
