"The pill that wraps the voodoo should be medicine used to suppress it. Once the pill is crushed, it will wake up from its slumber, and the voodoo as thin as a hair will emerge from its eyes, ears, nose, and even a
It enters the human body through small wounds.”
"How could there be such a terrible poisonous insect in Concubine Hui's palace?" As he said this, Jinping's eyelids twitched and he blurted out: "Is it possible that the strange disease of the fifteenth prince is caused by this poisonous insect?"
Qi Kuan said in a deep voice: "I remember that when my master was possessed by a poisonous insect, the imperial doctors could not find any clues. They only said that my master's energy and blood were weak and his essence and blood were lost, which was similar to the situation of the fifteenth elder brother.
It was similar. Later, the prince and I invited Tao An to pull out the poisonous insects for the master, and everything was fine."
Jin Ping nodded repeatedly and said: "My slave also remembers this. Thanks to the doctor named Tao An, the master saved the day. Otherwise... we would send people to Jiangnan now and invite Tao An to come over?"
Song Zihua shook his head and said, "Not to mention that this place is thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. As for Tao An, it is unknown whether he is still alive or living in his original place.
What should I do if I can’t find him?”
When he said this, Jinping also felt that he was thinking too simplistically. He lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "Since we already know that Concubine Hui secretly cultivates Gu insects, can we tell the Emperor about it? In this way, not only
We can convict her, and we can also force her to reveal how to treat Brother Fifteen."
Xianyue said nothing, looked at Song Zihua and said, "Do you really think that the strange disease on Yongyan's body is caused by this poisonous insect?"
"Your Majesty..." Song Zihua had just said a word when an urgent knock on the door sounded outside, but it was winter. As soon as the latter came in, he said eagerly: "Master, my fifteenth brother is ill again."
Everyone rushed to Yongyan's room and took a look. Sure enough, just like the previous two times, he had a high fever and abdominal pain. However, this time it didn't seem to be as painful as before. At least Yongyan was lying on the bed with his body hunched over, and there was no pain.
Rolling around, Dong Yi shed tears and said: "Ever since I got this strange disease, my fifteenth brother's spirit has deteriorated.
Very poor, and I don’t like to eat. I can eat more than half a bowl of food in one meal on weekdays, but now I can eat a few bites with coaxing, which is good. Today, the slave saw that Brother Fifteen was more energetic, so he cooked a bowl of chicken.
I wanted to give him some silken nest porridge, but I didn't expect that after just a few mouthfuls, the strange disease broke out again and I vomited everything I ate."
Xianyue took the wet handkerchief handed over by the palace attendant and applied it to Yongyan's hot forehead, "Where is the prescription left by the imperial physician before?"
Dongyi said: "My servant has already asked someone to fry it. It will be delivered as soon as it is done."
Xianyue nodded, and softly comforted Yongyan, whose face turned pale in pain, "It's okay, you will get better soon, Huang's mother is here to accompany you."
Yongyan endured the pain and said, "Empress Huang, what is death?"
Xianyue was startled and said: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Yong Yan curled his lips and cried while saying: "I heard someone saying that even the imperial doctors can't cure your illness, and I will die. Your Majesty, if I die, will I never see you again?"
Already? But I don’t want to leave you.”
These words made Xianyue almost burst into tears. She hugged Yongyan tightly and said, "Don't listen to those people's nonsense. You will be fine. The Queen will definitely let the doctor cure your illness. You won't die."
, stop crying."
With her comfort, Yongyan stopped crying, hunched up her small body and tried her best to endure the bursts of colic. After a while, the palace servant came in with the cooked medicine, and Xianyue personally fed Yongyan to drink it.
, I barely drank half a bowl, but ended up vomiting it all out, which was of no use at all.
When Dong saw the situation, he asked someone to quickly change the recipe before decoction. Although he knew there was little hope, he had to give it a try, maybe a miracle would happen.
At this time, Song Zihua, who had never spoken a word, said, "Madam, may I allow you to take my fifteenth brother's pulse again?"
Xianyue immediately nodded and stepped aside so that Song Zihua could feel the pulse. The latter's fingers stayed on Yongyan's wrist, and he closed his eyes and examined it carefully. After a while, he took back his hand and said, "Mother, can you take a step to speak?"
"Okay." After Ming Dongyi Haosheng took care of Yongyan, Xianyue held Qi Kuan's hand and came to the study room aside, and said eagerly: "But have you found a way to cure Yongyan?"
Song Zihua shook his head and said, "No, my Majesty asked me before if I was sure that Brother Fifteen's strange disease was caused by Gu insects. Now I can answer my Majesty, no."
"Why?" Jin Ping asked doubtfully: "Didn't you, Imperial Physician Song, say that the things in the pills were poisonous insects before? Why did it turn out to be not so in a blink of an eye?"
Song Zihua said solemnly: "That thing is undoubtedly a Gu insect, but it may not be in the body of the fifteenth brother."
Xianyue stared at him and said slowly: "You mean, Gu worms belong to Gu worms, and Yongyan belongs to Yongyan. The two are not connected?"
"Yes, when the queen was infected with the poison, I took her pulse. At that time, I felt that in addition to being weak, her pulse also had a slow and regular beating. It was not until I met Tao An that I realized that it was the poison.
Anyone who has been poisoned will have a pulse like this; but I checked Brother Fifteen's pulse several times, but there was no such beating, so it shouldn't be a poison."
Jin Ping felt dizzy after hearing this, "According to what you said, Brother Fifteen is indeed just suffering from a strange disease that no one has ever seen, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Hui? If so, what is she doing hiding that disgusting poison?"
Qi Kuan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe... Gu insects are just one of her methods, not all of them."
Xianyue's eyes flickered, she looked at Song Zihua and said, "That Yongyan's illness..."
Song Zihua sighed, shook his head and said: "We can't find out what the disease is yet. Please give me some more time. I will definitely find a way to cure my fifteenth brother."
This time, Yongyan's illness didn't last long, and it gradually stopped after noon. After he fell into a deep sleep, Xianyue returned to the main hall. After helping her sit down, Qi Kuan remembered something, patted his head and said:
"Look at my memory, I forgot to ask Imperial Physician Song to make a pill. I will go and tell Imperial Physician Song now."
Xianyue called him and said, "No need."
Qi Kuan stopped and said doubtfully: "But if I don't send the pills back, I'm afraid Zhichun will be suspected by Concubine Hui."
Xianyue shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter anymore. Your previous guess is certainly possible, but there is another possibility." Before Qi Kuan could say anything, she added: "Try to find an opportunity for Zhichun to come over. I
There are some things you need to ask her personally."
When they were worried about Yongyan's illness, A Luo, who was now the general Fujin, appeared in Yonghe Palace and said respectfully: "My wife has seen the noble concubine, and may she be safe and sound."
Xia Qing personally helped her up and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that when no one else is present, I call my sister, but why don't you always listen?"
