"Aunt Lan, there are people outside. They said they are here on the orders of His Majesty to check on the Empress Dowager's pulse."
"Please come in quickly!" Aunt Lan didn't have time to think about it and immediately asked someone to invite the imperial physician in.
The imperial doctors were a little unhappy at first, thinking that why did they have to ask for a safe pulse when the patient was fine in the middle of the night.
Can't you wait until tomorrow morning before coming over?
But when they entered the Empress Dowager's bedroom, they were all shocked.
Without even bothering to salute, the most skilled imperial physician trotted over to check the Empress Dowager's health.
In just a short while, the blood coughed up by the Empress Dowager had completely soaked the handkerchief.
After examining the Empress Dowager's body, he frowned and spoke solemnly.
"This pulse... sometimes it's normal, just like an ordinary person, and sometimes it's hard to tell. You guys should come and take a look."
"I will first help the Empress Dowager with acupuncture to stop the bleeding."
Upon hearing this, other imperial doctors with different areas of expertise also hurried over.
Who in the entire palace doesn't know how much respect His Majesty has for the Empress Dowager?
They dared to say that if they could not cure the Empress Dowager tonight, they would all be buried with her.
"This pulse is really strange, so strange!"
"Is this poisoned?"
"Excuse me, what has the Empress Dowager eaten in the past two days?"
"If the food or containers you used to eat are still there, please bring them all here."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lan's expression became solemn.
There weren't too many servants in the Empress Dowager's palace because she liked quietness.
Even her food is taken care of by someone special.
And it will be recorded every day.
She really couldn't figure out what means those villains had used to poison the Empress Dowager.
Unless there is a traitor in their palace.
Wait, in addition to the daily meals of the Empress Dowager, it seems that His Majesty also sent someone to deliver food during the day today.
No, it's not possible.
She and the Empress Dowager both believed that His Majesty would not do such a thing.
Others may not know what kind of person His Majesty is, but she and the Empress Dowager know him very well.
She will not tell anyone about this matter until the results of the investigation come out.
The investigation in Changle Palace had not yet been completed when Aunt Lan heard someone outside reporting that Concubine Si had arrived.
"Please invite Concubine Si in."
As soon as Simuqiao arrived, he asked Aunt Lan about the Empress Dowager's situation.
"Aunt Lan, how is the Empress Dowager doing now?"
"Hey, the doctor is still trying to save him."
"Why did she suddenly start coughing up blood when she was fine?"
"Who on earth wants to harm her?"
"If Aunt Lan believes me, you can send someone to arrest Aunt Huirong of Changle Palace and Xiaojing who came to deliver the meal today for interrogation."
These two people were revealed by the Queen Mother after she was given a truth-telling talisman.
As for the other matters she confessed, Murong Qingli would handle them.
However, she really didn't expect that the people with ulterior motives pointed out by the Queen Mother actually included Princess Kangjia's father, Marquis Weiyuan.
According to her, Weiyuan Hou, who was far away in Rongcheng, had privately opened iron mines and salt mines and built a secret army over the years.
Now he has contacted King Kang's former subordinates and gathered them in the capital, determined to overthrow the tyrant's rule.
As soon as there is news from the palace, they will enter the palace.
In the palace, there were also people arranged by the Queen Mother to make arrangements in advance.
Whenever she thought about the fact that Murong Qingli didn't show any surprise at all when he heard the Queen Mother's words, she felt that he was truly amazing.
Or, he hides his emotions very well, and his anger is not limited to sex.
Or maybe he already knew all this and was not surprised.
Damn, it seems that the job of emperor is not something that just anyone can become.
The only thing she felt fortunate about was that Princess Kang Jia and Murong Che, whom she knew, were not involved.
But it’s hard to say what will happen to them after this incident.
Why.
Forget it, this is too complicated a matter. Let the emperor Murong Qingli worry about it.
She was extremely grateful that the exchange of transformation cards had a time limit.
This sounds like a headache, but it's not her turn to deal with it.
"Huirong? Xiaojing? Okay, I'll have someone arrest them right away." Aunt Lan didn't ask any more questions and directly arranged for people to arrest them.
Even though Huirong has been in their Changle Palace for at least more than 30 years.
Even so, that Xiao Jing could be considered a member of the imperial study.
"I'm going to go see the Empress Dowager."
When Simuqiao entered the Empress Dowager's bedroom, she was still unconscious.
Several imperial doctors stood together, nervously discussing the treatment methods.
Seeing Si Muqiao coming in, he immediately knelt down to greet him.
"Please excuse me, my lords. I wonder if you can tell what poison the Empress Dowager has been poisoned by?"
"This old minister is ashamed."
"The old minister is incompetent."
Several people knelt down again.
"Let me take a look." Si Muqiao walked over and pretended to feel the Empress Dowager's pulse.
In fact, through the truth talisman, she already knew from the Queen Mother the name of the poison that the Grand Empress Dowager had been poisoned with and its reaction.
Including what medicinal materials the Queen Mother used when preparing the poison.
However, the current situation does not allow for direct naming.
After all, even though the fake empress dowager was fake, the body belonged to the real empress dowager.
It's really hard to tell anyone about her resurrection through a dead body.
Even if it were told to others, not many people would believe it.
On the contrary, everyone might think that the dog tyrant is so cruel that he came up with such a ridiculous excuse to deal with his own biological mother.
No, she didn't want Murong Qingli, who had never done anything bad, to bear the unwarranted bad reputation.
So, she has to take the blame.
The poison that the Queen Mother was poisoned with needed to be felt through her pulse before she could tell the truth.
Instead of asking any questions or examining the patient, she directly told the imperial doctors what kind of poison the Empress Dowager had been poisoned by.
"It's a three-day cough."
"This poison is colorless and tasteless. Once you are poisoned by it, you will cough up blood for three consecutive days."
“After three days, the poison will flow through the body’s meridians to reach the internal organs, and even gods will not be able to cure it.” Simuqiao said.
"Three-day cough? This..."
"I have never heard of this!"
"I have heard of it. It is said that this three-day cough is mainly made of Xanthium sibiricum, Styrax strychnos, gourd vines, etc."
After Si Muqiao said this, several imperial doctors immediately felt more confident.
After knowing this, they only need to take out the counteracting drugs and mix them up, and they may be able to develop an antidote.
Several imperial doctors worked almost all night and finally came up with the best formula for detoxification.
However, although the antidote can be prepared, but...
Based on the age and physical condition of the Empress Dowager.
If she were given it directly, although it could detoxify her, it would also have a certain impact on her body and shorten her life.
