Chapter 117 Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren
"Please relax, Queen. Moli will do his best to remove the poison from the Queen." Moli comforted Chu Yueyin and thought about asking the master to come over tomorrow to check Chu Yueyin's pulse and diagnose her.
What kind of poison is it so that we can prescribe the right medicine to cure the disease?
Chu Yue chanted: "I believe in you." She couldn't help but yawn and felt a little sleepy, so she took a handful of soothing incense from an exquisite box and sprinkled it on the small heater on the table.
Suddenly, a scent of sandalwood wafted out from the small heater.
Seeing that Chu Yueyin was sleepy, Mo Li took the medical kit and stood up to say goodbye. She was about to step out of the room when she suddenly stopped and sniffed hard, with a look of doubt on her face. She turned around and looked around.
, his eyes rested on a painting hanging on the wall. This painting was colorful and extremely eye-catching. It showed many lively and cute fat dolls laughing and playing, which made people want to look at it.
Touch those dolls.
"Can you, little one, take a look at this painting?" Moli frowned and looked at the painting.
"Okay." Chu Yueyin was a little surprised as to why Moli suddenly became interested in a painting. Seeing Moli walking up to the painting and stretching out her bare fingers to carefully touch the doll on the painting, she explained, "This
The painting is called "One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons", and it was given by Mrs. Zhen, saying it was a good idea and could help me give birth to a prince."
Speaking of the latter part, Chu Yueyin couldn't help but laugh. Not to mention that there was nothing in her belly, even if there was, a picture could not determine the gender of the fetus. She had just received the "Picture of One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons"
When she was young, she felt that the paint on the painting was too bright and she didn't like it very much. However, she couldn't resist the kindness, so she had to hang it in the palace and look at it day and night, and she was laughed at by Yu Wenhua several times because of it.
"The Anshen Incense was also a gift from Mrs. Zhen?" Moli didn't look back, she put the finger that touched the painting under her nose and sniffed it.
"No. One time, Mrs. Mei heard from me that I was tossing and turning at night and couldn't sleep well. She suggested that I light some soothing incense, saying it would help me sleep. I then asked Zixia to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and bring some back."
Mo Li turned around and continued to ask: "When Mrs. Mei proposed it, was this painting already hanging in the palace?"
Chu Yueyin thought hard and said: "Mrs. Zhen sent the painting first, and a few days later, Mrs. Mei proposed it."
"Does Mrs. Mei know about Mrs. Zhen's gift of paintings?"
"Mrs. Zhen gave the painting in front of all the concubines. Mrs. Mei was also present, so she naturally knew it." At this time, no matter how slow Chu Yueyin was, she understood the intention of Mo Liwen's words, "This
Is there something wrong with the painting? And this soothing incense, is it also poisonous?"
Mo Li nodded, lowered his voice and said: "The paint used in "One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons" is very special. It is not produced in this country, but comes from the Jiulong Mountains at the junction of Yue State and Chen State. It is ground with colored ores from the Jiulong Mountains.
It is made into powder and mixed with the highly toxic fruit juice called Hongmei. It is extremely colorful and highly toxic.
.According to medical records, this poison is originally odorless. If it is taken directly, it will become poisonous very quickly. If it is made into a pigment like this and allowed to evaporate slowly, the effect will be much slower. If a person inhales this poison, at first it will
There are no symptoms, but over time, you will become mentally exhausted, your pulse will become heavier and heavier, and your body will become weaker and weaker."
"What if a pregnant person inhales this poison?" Chu Yue hesitated and blurted out the question.
Mo Liyan uttered two words in a concise and shocking tone: "Tire slippery."
Chu Yueyin was shocked and looked at Mo Li speechless.
"If the Empress hadn't lit the soothing incense, Moli wouldn't have noticed this painting. Then it would have taken a lot of trouble to figure out what kind of poison the Empress was poisoned with." Moli looked at it with a look of shock and confusion.
Chu Yueyin explained, "Although Anshenxiang is
Although it can speed up the evaporation of Hongmei's toxicity, it also has a weakness, that is, Hongmei mixed with soothing incense is no longer odorless, but has a very light smell, but most people can't smell it, even if they smell it,
You may not know it’s poison.”
Chu Yueyin asked eagerly: "Is there a solution to this poison?"
Mo Li smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, the queen. Since we have found out that the queen is Hongmei, we only need to send people to the Jiulong Mountains to pick up the flowers of Yao Mugung. After boiling them into soup and taking it, the queen's body will be cured immediately."
of poison."
At this point, the matter was very clear. Madam Zhen was afraid that once Chu Yueyin gave birth to a prince, she would be even more favored, and the concubines who were not favored in the first place would have even less status in front of Yu Wenhua, so she used highly toxic paint.
The painted "One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons" was given to Chu Yueyin, causing her to be poisoned without knowing it, causing a miscarriage and even losing her life. It is unknown whether Mrs. Mei did it intentionally or unintentionally.
After Mo Li left, Chu Yueyin asked Bei Mingyu to go to Aunt Xinyi to get a booklet of treasures awarded by the emperor in recent years. Bei Mingyu's eyes were bright and he went in a good mood.
Chu Yueyin extinguished the soothing incense, opened all the doors and windows, and stared at "One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons" for a long time.
"Miss, why are the doors and windows opened?" Yinqiao came in with a pot of fragrant tea and looked around, "Doctor Moli has gone back?"
"Go back. Why did it take you so long to make tea?" Chu Yueyin asked casually, continuing to stare at "A Picture of One Hundred Sons and One Thousand Grandsons" intently, thinking about what to do next.
Yinqiao suddenly blushed, "Li Yu happened to come to see me, so I brought tea late."
"Yeah." Chu Yueyin focused her whole mind on the painting and didn't care at all who Li Yu was in Yinqiao's mouth. She looked at it for a while and said to Yinqiao, "Hang this painting in the front hall.
Hanging on...the west wall."
Yinqiao was a little stunned, but she still went to bring the brocade stool over, stood on it and took the painting off the wall.
"Miss, do you really want to hang it in the front hall?"
Chu Yueyin smiled and said: "Yinqiao, don't you think it's strange, why do I hang the "One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons" that should be hung in the bedroom in the front hall where I receive the concubines of the harem?"
Yinqiao thought for a while and suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.
Chu Yueyin shook her head, "It's not what you think. I have ulterior motives, just do as you please."
"Yes." Yinqiao took the painting and left the bedroom.
Chu Yueyin picked up the fragrant tea sent by Yinqiao and started to drink it. Mrs. Zhen came secretly, but she decided to scare the snake, making Mrs. Zhen jump over the wall in a hurry and jump out by herself.
The next day, Chu Yueyin deliberately waited for all the concubines to arrive, then slowly walked to the back door of the front hall and stood quietly, waiting.
According to Chu Yueyin's previous instructions, the palace officials added two silver charcoal stoves in the front hall, baking the entire hall very warm, and the temperature was even a little too high.
Concubine Li Xian and the three ladies waited for a long time, but did not see the queen coming. They were sweating slightly because of the fire, and felt a little irritable.
Concubine Li Xian loosened her collar, and when she raised her head, her eyes were caught by a painting on the wall opposite. She said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this the Picture of One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons? Why is it hanging here?"
Hearing what Concubine Li Xian said, Mrs. Zhen beside her suddenly raised her head and looked over, her face suddenly changed. Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Mei, who were sitting opposite, also turned back to look at the "Picture of One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons" on the wall.
At this moment, Chu Yueyin followed Concubine Li Xian's words and walked into the front hall. She clearly saw the look on Mrs. Zhen's face and secretly sneered in her heart. No matter how cunning a fox is, he will show his flaws.
"I think it is most appropriate for this painting of "One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons" to be hung here." Chu Yueyin said as he sat down on the main seat above.
Concubine Li Xian quickly led the three ladies over, bowed, and sat back in their respective seats.
"Empress, hasn't "The Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons" always been hanging in the bedroom? Why is it hanging in the front hall today?" The person who asked the question was Mrs. Liang.
When Mrs. Zhen presented the "Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons", Mrs. Liang was very jealous for a while and even asked Mrs. Zhen for a painting. Unfortunately, Mrs. Zhen rejected Mrs. Liang on the grounds that the painter had left the capital.
Chu Yueyin purposely glanced at Mrs. Zhen and said, "I believe that 'a flower blooming alone is not spring, but a garden full of flowers is spring.' The emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years and still has not had a son and a half, so it is inevitable that he will feel regretful.
Although I have already conceived a dragonborn for the emperor, but
Sisters, you should not slack off because of this. You should work hard to take good care of your health and give birth to more princes and princesses for the emperor. I hang this "One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren" in the front hall just so that you can all be blessed by it.
, get pregnant with the emperor’s heir as soon as possible.”
"Queen..." Mrs. Liang's eyes flashed, as if she was moved by Chu Yueyin's words. She was Yu Wenhua's first concubine. She had been in the palace for the longest time, and she was also the most eager to conceive a child.
It's a pity that people always can't get what they want. After hearing Chu Yueyin's words, hope ignited in her heart again.
Chu Yueyin smiled at Mrs. Liang, but her eyes fell on Mrs. Zhen. Seeing Mrs. Zhen quietly exchanging glances with Concubine Li Xian, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Mrs. Zhen stood up and bowed Yingying, "The Queen is so considerate to me, I am truly blessed. However, I heard that this "One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons" is the best thing to hang in the bedroom.
I thought it would be better for the empress to hang this painting back in her bedroom. I heard that the painter had returned to the capital recently, so I asked my father to ask for a few more paintings of "One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons" to give to all my sisters."
Mrs. Liang showed a look of joy. But Chu Yueyin's face turned cold and he said calmly: "If you paint a few more pictures of "One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons", it will become a waste of time and the effect will be greatly reduced. According to what I have seen, this painting
It would be best to hang it in the front hall, where you can see it every day when you come to pay your respects."
The concubines heard the implication of Chu Yueyin's words and feared that if every palace hung the same "One Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandsons" painting, the painting would be worthless.
Mrs. Zhen had no choice but to say: "I am not thinking carefully, please forgive me!"
Chu Yueyin looked at Mrs. Zhen meaningfully, "I don't blame you. On the contrary, I want to thank you for sending such a good painting to me."
Mrs. Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.
