Duan Qingxi leaned closer to the Queen and whispered, "Could Your Majesty please dismiss all the servants?"
The queen was stunned for a moment, but thinking that her son had given her the jade pendant, he must be a very trustworthy person, so she dismissed all the servants as she wished.
After making sure the servants had left, Duan Qingxi said seriously, "Your Majesty, I was actually sent by the Ninth Prince to treat you. May I take your pulse now?"
see a doctor?
Although the queen was suspicious, she thought that Duan Qingxi had Helian Sheng's jade pendant and would not harm her.
Besides, it was just taking the pulse, there was nothing to worry about, so he stretched out his hand.
After Duan Qingxi took the Queen's pulse, he examined it carefully with a serious expression.
As Helian Sheng said, the queen was not sick, but poisoned.
Moreover, the signs of poisoning were very strange, because her pulse was normal, but there were two energies of fire and cold colliding in her body, causing the queen to look normal during the day, but once night fell, she would inevitably suffer.
I just have this feeling and can't find any reason why.
After withdrawing his hand, Duan Qingxi asked, "Her Majesty, are you unable to sleep every night, feeling extremely restless, and always feeling as if there are two different auras colliding wildly within your body?"
The Queen was surprised that Duan Qingxi could actually see her problem, and quickly said, "That's right! I feel fine during the day, but at night I suffer terribly. Not only can I not sleep, but I also feel like something is causing trouble in various parts of my body."
After a pause, she continued, "I've been feeling this way ever since I returned from the Emperor's incognito visit. The imperial physician said it was most likely caused by an evil wind. He prescribed some medicine, which did provide some relief, but... every time it gets better, it gets worse again."
Duan Qingxi said, "My Lady, you are not ill, nor have you been struck by an evil wind, but you have been poisoned!"
"What?!"
Although the queen was surprised, she did not seem shocked. She must have expected this to happen.
As expected, her expression became very serious again as she said, "In fact, I have suspected it for a long time, so I mentioned it to Sheng'er, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
She asked, "What kind of poison is in this palace?"
Duan Qingxi said shamefacedly, "I am incompetent and cannot yet determine what kind of poison this is. However, I will go back and study the medical texts carefully, and develop an antidote for Your Majesty as soon as possible."
The Queen nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. She took her little hand and said softly, "At your young age, you've already figured out that I'm poisoned, not sick. That's quite remarkable. Since you were sent by Sheng'er, you must be able to develop an antidote. My life is no longer in danger, and I can hold on for a while."
I didn't expect the queen to be such a gentle and tolerant person. Even though she knew she was poisoned, she didn't force herself to develop an antidote within the specified time.
Just for this reason, Duan Qingxi will definitely save her!
Holding the Queen's hand, Duan Qingxi said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Although I don't know what this poison is, I know it won't kill you for now. However... because I don't know the other party's intentions, please don't tell anyone about this for now, lest they take advantage of you first."
The Queen naturally understood this truth, but she hesitated and asked, "Can't I even tell the Emperor and the Crown Prince?"
Duan Qingxi insisted, "We can't tell them! Firstly, I'm afraid they'll worry. Secondly... even if they won't harm the Empress, they always have confidants around them. If one of those confidants is in cahoots with the one who's going to harm the Empress, they'll be able to tell. Then we'll be in a very passive position!"
Hearing this, the queen also felt that it made perfect sense, so she nodded in agreement.
