Xianyue watched silently. She wanted to step forward several times to check on Yong Lian, but she knew that Mingyu didn't like her contact with Yong Lian, so she held back in order to avoid making her unhappy at this time.
After waiting like this for about half an hour, Si Xi and Doctor Fang came in. When he saw the two of them, Hongli hurriedly asked: "How is it? Have you found anything?"
Si Xi called Qian'er and said: "When I return to the emperor, except for the queen's palace, my servant has searched all the places and found nothing. As for the palace servant who is responsible for the meals, my servant has carefully interrogated him and found nothing."
Suspicious." After him, Imperial Physician Fang also replied: "Wei Chen and others checked all the food in the palace and found nothing."
Hongli frowned when he heard this, "So, the poison didn't come from Kunning Palace?"
Xianyue reminded: "It is also possible that the poisoner destroyed the poison in advance, so it was not detected."
"Both are possible." When he said this, Hongli said bitterly: "No matter where he is, I will definitely find him and cut him into pieces and smash his bones into ashes!"
Knowing that Hongli's words were not meant for herself, Concubine Zhe still felt a chill all over her body, as if there were countless knives attached to her skin, ready to be cut off at any time.
Concubine Zhe composed herself and sighed quietly: "Well, if the second elder brother had not pretended to have recovered when Doctor Xu came into the palace the day before yesterday, and asked Doctor Xu to diagnose and treat him, the situation might not be so serious."
Hearing these words, Mingyu immediately remembered Abi's confession words before, and his gloomy eyes suddenly fell on Xianyue. Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden sound of vomiting in his ears. When he looked down, he saw Yonglian opening his mouth.
He spat out the medicine he just drank.
Mingyu hurriedly patted Yonglian's back, and Yonglian waited until he had finished vomiting the concoction in his stomach before he stopped, his expression extremely ugly.
Mingyu asked at a loss: "Why did this happen? Why did you vomit it out again? Doctor Xu, what should I do now?"
Rong Yuan ran out of ideas for a moment, so he stepped forward to check the pulse again and found that Yong Lian's pulse was worse than before, which meant that the medicine had not worked. The poison was more difficult than he thought.
Rong Yuan ignored Mingyu who kept asking questions, and asked Imperial Physician Fang to get the silver needle he carried, and then inserted it again according to the acupuncture points just now, and then said: "I would like to ask Imperial Physician Fang to get some more sets of silver needles."
, and also let someone re-decoct the medicine according to the previous prescription, and the decoction will be twice as little as before."
Doctor Fang did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered someone to get it. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, every time the whole root of the silver needle turned green, Rong Yuan took it out, and then replaced it with a new silver needle. This cycle repeated five times.
, did not stop until the silver needle was no longer blue.
Mingyu, who never got a response, was almost crazy with anxiety and asked: "How is Yonglian?"
"The poison in Second Brother's body will not be fatal immediately, but it is very difficult to deal with. Cao Min has been pricking the acupuncture points with silver needles just now. He wants to try his best to remove the poison accumulated in Second Brother's acupuncture points, and then take the medicine again, hoping that he will not vomit it out again.
.”
Mingyu nodded hurriedly, and then asked: "Then Yonglian will be fine?"
"The common people will definitely do their best..." Before Rong Yuan could speak, he was interrupted by Mingyu sternly, "I don't want to listen to the words 'do your best', I want you to ensure that Yonglian is safe and sound!"
Rong Yuan bowed and said, "The people understand the empress's feelings, but the poison on the second elder brother has never been seen by the people before, and I really can't guarantee it."
"Nothing can happen to Yong Lian. I only have one son in this palace, so nothing will happen to him..." Mingyu said, suddenly raising her head and staring at Rong Yuan with a stern look she had never seen before, "Ruo Yong
If something happens to Lian, I will never spare you. If you want to save your own life, you must first save Yong Lian’s life, do you hear me?"
At this moment, Mingyu could no longer care about the words "forcibly making things difficult for others", and could only do his best to hold on to Rong Yuan's life-saving straw.
Rong Yuan glanced at her quickly, lowered his head and said, "Even if the empress says so, the common people can only say to the empress, 'I'll do my best,' and ask the empress to forgive me."
"You!" Mingyu's face changed drastically, and her chest heaved violently. Seeing this, Hongli came over and said gently: "Queen, please calm down, Imperial Physician Xu..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mingyu said excitedly: "Yonglian is my concubine's son. Now that he has been harmed like this, how do you want me to calm down?" At this point, she saw Hongli standing there.
Xiayue, who was not far behind her, suddenly had the thought that she had just had. She walked quickly to Xiayue, stared at her and said coldly: "It's you who is right, isn't it? It's you who caused Yonglian to be like this, isn't it?
?”
Xianyue looked at Mingyu in astonishment. She didn't know why she suddenly said such a sentence. She didn't know how to answer for a while. However, her reaction turned into a guilty conscience in Mingyu's eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Why are you doing this?"
,Why do you want to harm my Yonglian?"
Xianyue came back to her senses and said quickly: "Empress, what are you talking about? How could I harm Yonglian? You..." Before she could say anything, a slap fell hard on her cheek, and she was instantly beaten.
She was stunned, the person who slapped her was none other than Mingyu.
Hongli was the first to react, walked quickly to Mingyu, took her hand that was raised again, and said with a hint of anger: "Queen, what are you doing?"
Mingyu said bitterly: "It was her, it was she who caused Yonglian to do this!" While speaking, Hongli was distracted and she broke away his hand. By the time he tried to stop him, it was already too late!
However, Mingyu's palm still failed to land on Xianyue's face. It wasn't her who stopped her hand, but Qi Kuan, who had quick eyes and quick hands, and stopped it.
Mingyu immediately scolded: "You are so brave, you dare to be disrespectful to me, and you won't let me go immediately!"
"The slave knows his crime. But the master has not made any mistakes. I wonder why the queen wants to punish the master?" Although Qi Kuan claimed that he knew his mistake, he held Mingyu's hand but never let go.
Qi Kuan is just a slave. How could Mingyu explain to him? While struggling, he said: "Let me go immediately, otherwise I will not let you go!"
"Qi Kuan, let go." Faced with Xianyue's words, Qi Kuan did not dare to disobey and slowly retracted his hand. The next moment, Mingyu slapped him again, not allowing anyone to stop him.
Seeing Xianyue being slapped twice for no reason, Hongli got really angry. He pulled Mingyu over and said sternly: "Queen, do you know what you are doing?"
"I know very well!" Mingyu stared at Hongli and said word by word: "Hasn't the Emperor always wanted to know who harmed Yonglian like this? I tell you, it's none other than Nala Xianyue.
!”
Xianyue covered her red cheeks and said, "I have never harmed my second elder brother. I wonder why the Queen said this?"
Mingyu stared at her and said bitterly: "That day, you came here and asked to see Yonglian. I thought you were really concerned about Yonglian's illness, so I agreed. But the next day, Doctor Xu came and Yonglian
But she refused to let him diagnose and treat her, and lied that she was cured. Wasn’t it because of your instigation? "
