A cup of tea later, An Shun and Doctor Li hurried in.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Doctor Li bowed, looking slightly tired.
"Come and see why the concubine has a headache."
Jun Zechen's eyes never left Su Jingyao.
Imperial Physician Li was on duty tonight and was sleeping in the Imperial Hospital. An Shun hurriedly pulled him over from his bed. He was terrified all the way, thinking that something had happened to the Crown Prince, but he didn't expect it was the concubine.
But he did not dare to complain at all. He hurriedly picked up the medicine box and walked to the bedside. Then he took out a handkerchief and placed it on the concubine's slender wrist, and began to take her pulse carefully.
Doctor Li frowned, his expression becoming increasingly serious.
The pulse rate has increased and is rapid, which is not good.
Then, he asked in detail about the concubine's symptoms, what she ate and drank.
Miaoxia did not dare to be negligent and answered all the questions in detail.
"Bring me the tranquilizing soup." Doctor Li said seriously.
Miaoxia hurriedly brought it over. Doctor Li dipped his finger in it, took a little, and gently put it into his mouth to taste it.
Then, his expression became more serious, "Your Highness, this tranquilizing soup contains oleander juice."
"If the concubine drank this, it would be normal to have a headache. Fortunately, she didn't drink too much. Oleander juice is poisonous, and drinking too much can be extremely dangerous."
When Miaoxia heard the word "oleander", anger flashed in her eyes, and she immediately reported to Jun Zechen: "Your Highness, it is the season when oleander is in full bloom. The master likes the gorgeous scenery of oleander in full bloom, so he asked the flower shop to send a lot of it."
"But the palace maids in the flower room have repeatedly warned us that this flower can only be used for viewing and not for eating. I never expected that someone in the Shui Ning Palace would use this flower to murder the master."
"Aokiji, you took care of these flowers, and you also made the fire and watched over this calming soup. Are you the one who plotted to murder the master?"
Miaoxia suddenly turned around and shouted at Aokiji, her eyes seeming to spit fire.
Aokiji trembled and looked up, her face full of fear. "I have never harmed the master. I have done nothing. This is not what I did."
As he spoke, he kowtowed desperately, his forehead hitting the ground with a "bang bang" sound, and soon it became red and swollen.
She just followed the Crown Princess's orders and went to Huamei Residence to ask His Highness to leave. She knew nothing else. Could it be that the Crown Princess sent someone to poison the concubine?
Does the Crown Princess want her to be a scapegoat?
Jun Zechen ignored Aokiji's frightened pleas for mercy.
"Doctor Li, please prescribe medicine for the concubine first. She has a severe headache now."
Jun Zechen didn't dare to let go of the hand on her temple for a moment. If he let go even a little, she would show a look of pain, which would make his heart tighten.
"yes."
However, Doctor Li hesitated again, and said, "Your Highness, the concubine..."
"What happened to the concubine?"
Jun Zechen hated the way these imperial doctors hesitated when speaking. His irritation grew stronger and his voice became heavier.
"The concubine seems to have contraceptive drugs in her body." Doctor Li said stiffly.
"What did you say."
Jun Zechen almost squeezed out word by word from between his teeth.
Since she entered the Eastern Palace more than three months ago, Jun Zechen only favored her. He originally thought that she had not gotten pregnant because she was still young, and he also believed that pregnancy depended on fate, so he never suspected anything else.
but!
Could it be that someone gave her birth control pills after she entered the Eastern Palace?
So you've never gotten pregnant?
Who is it?
Ling Yue has been targeting Su Jingyao ever since she entered the Eastern Palace. She is even more decisive and has taken charge of the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace. The only one who has the opportunity and purpose is Ling Yue.
"Anshun, check for me. Anything in Shuining Palace that belongs to the concubine must be carefully examined to find out why the concubine has contraceptive drugs in her body."
Jun Zechen's voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air around him.
"Your Highness, the concubine doesn't have much contraceptive medication in her body, but judging by her pulse, she has been taking it for some time."
Doctor Li continued carefully.
Jun Zechen's face became increasingly gloomy, his lips were tightly closed, and he didn't speak.
"Your Highness, I will go and prepare some medicine for your concubine's headache and detoxify the oleander."
After Doctor Li finished speaking, he hurriedly left.
Only then did Jun Zechen turn his icy gaze to Aokiji.
"Anshun, take him to the Ministry of Punishment and torture him severely. Don't let him die unless he confesses something."
Although he said that he didn't want anyone to die, the way he looked at Aokiji was as if he was looking at a dead person.
"Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me. This slave knows nothing. This slave has never poisoned the concubine."
Aokiji cried out at the top of his lungs, his voice shrill and desperate, his frightened eyes seemed to be begging for the last bit of mercy.
She struggled desperately, trying to break free from the eunuch's hands that were dragging her.
Anshun simply raised his hand and gestured expressionlessly, and several strong eunuchs quickly stepped forward, grabbed Aokiji tightly, and dragged her out without mercy.
Not to mention that His Highness was irritable and angry at the moment, Anshun was also in a much more irritable mood after tossing and turning in the middle of the night.
This palace maid is probably completely useless.
Doctor Li's medicine was brought up soon. Jun Zechen helped Su Jingyao up and fed her the medicine himself.
Seeing that her headache eased and her complexion gradually became rosy, I finally felt relieved.
Su Jingyao was not actually unconscious. She just drank a little oleander juice, which made her dizzy and she could only close her eyes.
After drinking the medicine, I felt my eyes slowly opening.
