Chapter 28 Princess Ning, Excellent Medical Skills
When Beigong You was mentioned, the Queen looked at Beigong Yu calmly.
Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows.
Before Beigong Yu could say anything, the Queen Mother lowered her lips and said, "It was my will to put the fourth son in prison. If the Emperor wants to blame someone, blame me."
"Your Majesty, this morning, Concubine Yi discovered that you were poisoned, and all the evidence pointed to my fourth brother and his wife who were tending to you last night. Later, my fourth sister-in-law volunteered to help you detoxify. For your safety, my grandmother had my fourth brother restrained."
"Since the emperor is awake now, let him go." The empress dowager winked at the people behind her.
"Father, you fell into a coma after coming out of Zhongcui Palace that day. The Empress claimed that there was something wrong with the food in Zhongcui Palace and detained Mother. Now... is that right..."
As soon as Beigong Yu finished speaking, a gentle and graceful voice came from outside the palace, "Your Majesty..."
"The emperor has awakened. I'm here to visit him. Who dares to stop me?" Concubine Chen rushed into the bedroom regardless of the palace servants' obstruction.
At this time, she was not wearing any makeup, only plain clothes, and looked very haggard.
She ran to the bedside and looked at Emperor Ming who had just woken up. She seemed to be hesitant to speak, and her tearful look made people feel pity for her.
After a long while, she choked and spoke, "Your Majesty, you are finally awake!"
"I'm sorry for wronging you." Emperor Ming waved at her.
Concubine Chen immediately reached out and held Emperor Ming's hand, "As long as the emperor is safe and sound, I will not feel wronged."
What she was waiting for was Emperor Ming's words.
Emperor Ming saw her red eyes and wanted to say something to comfort her, but when he looked up, he saw a pretty figure following the empress with her head lowered and her eyes lowered, so he asked, "Lipin, why are you here?"
The Queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have been unconscious for the past few days, thanks to Concubine Li who has been taking care of you by your bedside."
As soon as she learned that Emperor Ming had woken up, she asked someone to call Concubine Li.
Emperor Ming said calmly, "You've worked hard."
He waved his hand, signaling Sun Changhai to deliver the Hetian jade from the Western Regions to Lipin's palace, and then said, "Concubine Chen will serve you in the Qianqing Palace tonight, you can go down first."
"Yes." Lipin felt as if she had been pardoned.
"The Queen should go and have some rest as well." Emperor Ming withdrew his gaze.
Concubine Chen could not hide her pride between her brows. What mattered if the Queen detained her temporarily? As long as the Emperor woke up, no one could touch her.
How dare a mere concubine like Li compete with her for favor!
"Why is there milk in the emperor's meals?" The empress dowager's majestic voice suddenly sounded.
“This…” Concubine Chen’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly knelt down. “I once tasted the steamed cheese made by Nanny Gui and it was delicious, so I made some for the emperor myself. But I didn’t know that the emperor couldn’t drink milk… I have caused such a big disaster, please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
The Empress Dowager's eyes narrowed, and Concubine Chen's face turned pale instantly.
"Grandmother, please be lenient with me, considering that my mother was unaware of the situation." Beigong Yu also knelt down.
"You deserve to be punished for doing something wrong. This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't interfere." Concubine Chen motioned Beigong Yu to stand up. She didn't want him to get involved.
"Okay, ignorance is not a crime, you guys leave first."
Emperor Ming knew that the Queen Mother had something to say to him, so he raised his hand to dismiss the attendants.
When only the mother and son were left in the palace, the Queen Mother spoke, "Emperor, what happened?"
The emperor consumed cow's milk when he was young, and the symptoms of the allergy were much more serious than this time, but he had not been in a coma for so long. She did not believe that the emperor was simply allergic to milk.
Also, what about the poisoning later?
According to the Imperial Guards, no suspicious person approached the Palace of Heavenly Purity last night.
Could it really be the fourth brother who did this?
"As my mother sees." Emperor Ming's voice was full of energy, and he did not sound like someone who had been in a coma for several days.
"What did Lin Miaoyin do in the Palace of Heavenly Purity today?"
"She detoxified her son."
Emperor Ming recalled what had just happened in the palace, his eyes were meaningful, "Princess Ning... has superb medical skills."
…
After Lin Miaoyin returned to Ganquan Palace, the sky had completely darkened.
She went straight to the couch without even having dinner, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
She had just expended too much energy in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and now that she was relaxed, she felt a wave of fatigue coming over her.
Seeing her tired face, Yuzhu couldn't bear to disturb her, so she gently tucked the quilt for her and left.
When we came out of the side hall, Madam Xu was already waiting outside.
"My queen has something to ask you, let's go."
Yuzhu followed Madam Xu to the main hall. Looking at the majestic figure, she subconsciously lowered her head and said, "This servant greets the Queen."
"I think you already know why I asked you to come here."
"I don't know." Yuzhu pursed her lips.
The queen turned around and looked at the little maid in front of her, "I remember that you have been with Miaoyin since you were eight years old."
"Yes, I have been serving the princess for eight years."
Eight years ago, Miaoyin was ten years old and had just been brought back from Jiangzhou by Lin Ruhui.
“When did Miaoyin start to demonstrate her medical skills?”
"From the night before Concubine Song came in." Yuzhu answered without hesitation.
That night, the prince tortured the princess until she was covered in wounds, and Song Qingyun even hypocritically gave the princess a bowl of poison, so she was deeply impressed.
She told the Queen everything about Lin Miaoyin's discovery of the poison and her treatment of Ding Xiang.
"The princess once told me that she learned the medical skills when she was away from home recuperating from an illness."
The queen narrowed her eyes.
Lin Miaoyin was thrown to Jiangzhou by Lin Ruhui when she was seven years old, so the time was right.
"Empress, is there anything wrong with the princess's medical skills?" Yuzhu asked worriedly. It seemed that the Empress did not want the princess to see patients.
"Nothing, go down."
After Yuzhu left, the queen stood in front of the window for a long time.
She looked up at the night sky, as if trying to see something through the darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, she murmured with a sad look, "Wanjun, I failed to protect Miaoyin. I am sorry for you..."
…
A good night's sleep.
The next day, Lin Miaoyin woke up feeling refreshed.
Just as she was about to stretch, she was startled by the extra man next to her, and the word "national essence" came out of her mouth subconsciously.
"Hey! Who told you to sleep here?" She slapped the man.
The man was covered in blood and was extremely dirty.
But he didn't move at all.
Lin Miaoyin frowned suspiciously, "Beigong You?"
Yuzhu heard the noise and hurriedly brought water into the hall to serve, "Princess, you are awake, do you want to eat something first?"
"What's going on?" Lin Miaoyin looked to the side.
"Yesterday, the prince took the initiative to go to jail, and the Queen Mother agreed to let you detoxify the emperor. The Ministry of Justice is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, and no one has ever been able to come out of it intact. The prince suffered a lot in there, causing his old illness to flare up and he fell into a coma. The Queen Mother knew that you were a good doctor, so she had the prince sent here."
Lin Miaoyin understood.
Yesterday she was in a hurry to detoxify Emperor Ming and didn't think much about it. It turned out that Beigong You was held hostage.
No wonder the Queen Mother agreed!
