"Where is the imperial physician?" Jun Zechen asked immediately.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician will be here soon."
Jun Zechen stood steadily beside the bed, staring intently at Ling Yue with an extremely serious expression.
There seemed to be a myriad of thoughts in his deep eyes, and his heart was like a tide, with worry, anger, and self-blame...
After a while, Imperial Doctors Hu and Li came hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you." The two imperial doctors said in unison, with respect in their tone.
"Why don't you come over and show it to the imperial concubine?" Jun Zechen said with a sullen face, anxiety in his voice.
Doctor Li hurried forward, knelt down beside the bed, and then began to examine the imperial concubine seriously.
His brows were tightly furrowed, his face looked serious, then he turned to ask Meixiang who was beside him with a worried look on her face.
"I wonder if the imperial concubine had any symptoms before she fainted?"
"The master had symptoms of nausea and vomiting before he fainted." Meixiang answered anxiously.
Doctor Li combined the pulse and roughly understood the reason why the imperial concubine was in a coma. His face was heavy and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has been poisoned."
Jun Zechen's eyes instantly flashed with a cold light like ice, and he asked in a low and cold voice: "Is there a solution?"
"Judging from the Imperial Concubine's symptoms and pulse, the Imperial Concubine must have ingested Aconitum by mistake. Fortunately, she didn't eat much, so the poison in her body is relatively shallow. I will prescribe an antidote immediately." Doctor Li replied hastily.
"Go ahead." Jun Zechen waved his hand.
Jun Zechen then turned around and told Doctor Hu, "Come over and check on the imperial concubine."
For these high-ranking officials, except for routine consultations every few days when only one imperial physician was needed, they were usually seen by at least two imperial physicians at other times.
On the one hand, it is to avoid misdiagnosis, and on the other hand, it is to prevent the imperial physician from being bribed.
Doctor Hu hurried forward and carefully felt the imperial concubine's pulse. After a while, he said, "Your Majesty, the result I got is the same as Doctor Li's. The imperial concubine did eat Aconitum by mistake."
"How could I accidentally eat Aconitum?" Jun Zechen frowned.
"Anshun, go down and check it out." Jun Zechen ordered coldly.
Afterwards, Jun Zechen slowly sat down beside the bed and quietly looked at Ling Yue who was lying on the bed.
She sighed inwardly, she had suffered.
Suddenly, Jun Zechen suddenly remembered something. Yaoyao was still waiting for him.
But today Ling Yue was poisoned and unconscious. Under such circumstances, how could he accompany her out of the palace?
Jun Zechen walked out of the bedroom slowly with a gloomy face, then lowered his voice and instructed Fuquan.
"Go tell Concubine Chun Shu that the Imperial Concubine was poisoned today. I really can't accompany her out of the palace. Let her go back to Zhao Chun Palace first. I will visit her later."
Then, he paused for a moment and continued, "Take the purple jeweled headpiece and the full-body glazed mirror from my private treasury and send them to Zhaochun Palace."
After hearing this, Fuquan was shocked. The headgear was fine, but the glass mirror was only owned by the empress dowager when the late emperor was alive. Even the late emperor did not give it to her when the concubine at that time begged her for it.
And now, His Majesty is actually going to give the only glass mirror in the palace to Concubine Chunshu.
Fuquan quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away."
Only after Fuquan left did Jun Zechen feel a little relieved.
But I was still a little worried about her and didn't want her to have an unhappy birthday.
However, Yaoyao cared about the imperial concubine. If she knew that the imperial concubine was poisoned, she would probably understand him.
Su Jingyao, who had been waiting for Jun Zechen in the carriage, was leisurely eating flower cakes, drinking flower tea, and reading a book leisurely.
"Master, Eunuch Fuquan is here." Miaoyun reported softly.
Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, then reluctantly put away all the things.
The expression on his face gradually became a little depressed.
"Your servant greets Her Majesty." Fuquan bowed respectfully.
"Get up, where is His Majesty?" There was a hint of urgency in Su Jingyao's voice.
"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine in Yikun Palace has been poisoned. His Majesty has rushed to Yikun Palace. I'm afraid he cannot accompany you out of the palace today. His Majesty asked Your Majesty to return to Zhaochun Palace first and come to see you later." Fuquan said cautiously.
Su Jingyao's expression froze for a moment, and then a lonely look appeared on her face.
But he still asked with concern: "Is there anything wrong with the Imperial Concubine Sister?"
"The imperial physician is already preparing an antidote for the imperial concubine. I think nothing will happen." Fuquan replied hurriedly.
"That's good. I'll go back to Zhaochun Palace now."
Su Jingyao forced a smile, but it was full of bitterness.
After returning to Zhaochun Palace, her beautiful face showed a calm expression.
She opened her red lips slightly and gave instructions to Miaoyun who was standing beside her.
"Miaoyun, go and close the bedroom door. Keep it closed, so that the people outside will think that your Majesty has gone to the Yikun Palace, and I will be depressed and unhappy in this bedroom."
"Yes, Master."
Miaoyun responded obediently, then walked to close the bedroom door.
When she came back, she saw her master sitting elegantly on the couch, holding a pen in her delicate hands, writing the plan attentively.
Su Jingyao raised her head slightly and began to give orders again.
"Two days later, call the six ladies-in-waiting from the Shang Gong, Shang Qin, Shang Gong, the twelve ladies-in-waiting from the three palaces, and the ladies-in-waiting from the Gong Zheng Division. I want to have a good talk with them."
"Yes, Master."
At this time, Su Jingyao raised her eyes slightly and asked calmly: "What kind of poison was the imperial concubine poisoned with?"
"I heard that he accidentally ate Aconitum."
When Su Jingyao heard this, the pen in her hand suddenly stopped and her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.
Aconitum?
The toxicity of Aconitum is quite serious, but why is it Aconitum?
If she remembered correctly, when aconite touched human skin, it would cause a tingling sensation.
It seems that Tang Ronghua used this to apply on the Buddhist beads bracelet.
The reason why Su Jingyao knew this was because Aconitum was given to Tang Ronghua by An Zhaorong, and the spy she arranged in An Zhaorong had discovered Aconitum before.
The Imperial Concubine was poisoned by Aconitum today. Was it An Zhaorong who poisoned her or was it a self-torture trick she used?
However, Su Jingyao was more inclined to believe that this was a self-torture trick by the imperial concubine.
If An Zhaorong really wanted to poison the imperial concubine without regard for the consequences, the imperial concubine would probably have died by now.
This time, the imperial concubine was smart. Not only did she want to use this opportunity to tie down His Majesty and prevent him from taking her out of the palace, she also wanted to drag An Zhaorong into the water.
Su Jingyao narrowed her eyes slightly, this was a way to kill two birds with one stone.
However, An Zhaorong was not stupid. The aconite in her palace should have been dealt with long ago.
I just don’t know how the imperial concubine plans to deal with An Zhaorong. Is she planning to frame her?
Su Jingyao turned her head and looked out the window, her eyes a little vague.
An Zhaorong was right in her guess. Once the imperial concubine came to power, the first person she would want to get rid of would be her.
After all, when she was in the Eastern Palace, An Zhaorong had harmed the imperial concubine many times, and this time the imperial concubine finally couldn't bear it anymore.
