The entrance and exit rules of the palace are very strict. Once the Shen hour passes, the palace door is closed. Even if you have a pair of cards, you cannot enter the palace. When the prince arrived at the palace gate, it was already late, probably around You hour.
The prince's eyesight was very good, and he saw a familiar figure outside the closed palace gate from a distance. The eunuch guarding the palace gate nodded and bowed and smiled at the figure, but did not open the palace door.
Although his back was turned to him and he was so far away, the prince could clearly feel his anger.
…
Seeing this situation, the prince breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly rode over and told the eunuch in a deep voice: "Hurry and open the palace door. Gu Shilang and I have important matters to enter the palace. If our important matters are delayed, I'll peel them off."
Off your skin!"
No matter how powerful the foreign minister is, he will inevitably be a little shorter when he comes to the three-thirds of an acre of the palace. No matter how anxious and gloomy Gu Xinian's face is, the eunuch guarding the palace gate still uses the saying "the palace gate will not be opened after Shenshi".
However, when the prince opened his mouth, the weight was completely different. No matter how courageous the eunuch was, he would never dare to offend the future owner of the palace of the majestic prince.
However, before opening the palace door, there are still some words that need to be said: "Since His Highness has important matters, the servants dare not stop him. However, if the masters pursue the case in the future, I hope that His Highness will cover it up..."
"Okay, if something really goes wrong, just blame it on me." The prince glared at him impatiently, and then ordered the other two young eunuchs to take the horse away and put it in place.
There was never a trace of smile on Gu Xinian's gloomy face.
The prince felt a little trembling in his heart after seeing it. He coughed and said: "Cousin, we are entering the palace now. You don't have to worry too much. The queen mother has ordered the imperial doctors to check their pulses. There should be no worries about their lives...
…”
Gu Xinian finally looked over, his face had returned to calmness, but his eyes were flashing with anger, and his voice was cold: "Wait until I am sure that Lan'er is fine, then I will investigate the real culprit behind the scenes!"
If something happens to Ye Qinglan...
Just thinking about this possibility, his whole body lost all strength, and his heart seemed to be in boundless darkness and coldness. No, nothing could happen to her!
Gu Xinian pursed his lips, never looked at the prince again, and took the lead to enter the palace gate.
Although Gu Xinian's attitude was not very respectful... well, it was very disrespectful. But the prince did not dare to have even the slightest opinion. The real culprit has not yet been revealed, but it is always related to the female family members of the prince's house. Gu
It's natural that Xinian doesn't have a good look on him.
Neither of them was in the mood to talk along the way, there was only the sound of hurried footsteps. The atmosphere was so dull that it made people breathless.
In the dusk, the magnificent Fengyi Palace also showed a bit of unusual panic. Gu Xinian and the prince drove all the way in, but did not see many palace maids.
Gu Xinian walked to Ye Qinglan's dormitory without hesitation. The prince was supposed to visit Mr. Mo first, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and followed Gu Xinian silently.
Several imperial doctors were waiting at the side at any time. In addition to the palace maids, there were quite a few people in the room. Ruixue and Ruomei were sitting beside the bed. They both looked worried and their eyes were red.
After hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, everyone looked over in unison, and then all froze.
Ruomei was the first to react and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, I have met the Young Master..."
Gu Xinian didn't even look at her, and he reached the bedside in a few steps. Under the overlapping gauze curtains, Ye Qinglan lay there quietly, with her eyes closed tightly. Her face was pale. In this paleness, there was a hint of darkness.
She showed a bit of abnormal blush.
Gu Xinian took a breath. Although he had been mentally prepared before coming, the sharp pain he felt when he saw her lying unconscious on the bed was still unstoppable. Something seemed to be whistling in his mind.
It didn't stop, and it felt like a sharp knife was stabbed into my chest. The pain was unbearable!
Gu Xinian took a deep breath and sat on the edge of the bed. His voice was hoarse and hoarse: "Ruomei, what is going on with all this?"
A trace of shame flashed in Ruomei's eyes. As a secret guard, she failed to protect her master. Even if Gu Xinian didn't accuse her, her heart was heavy. However, now is not the time to blame herself...
Ruomei calmed down and quickly told the whole story.
The little eunuch who reported some things didn't know about it, so what he said was not clear. Ruomei said in great detail: "...the imperial doctors have found out that some ground torreya seeds were somehow mixed into the bowl of sweet mung bean soup.
Powder. It’s okay to eat these two foods separately, but they are incompatible with each other and will be toxic. If eaten together, you will be in a coma, and even..."
Speaking of this, Ruomei paused for a moment. She no longer dared to look at Gu Xinian's face at this time, and quickly continued: "Fortunately, the young lady only took a few mouthfuls at that time, and the toxicity was not serious, so she was not life-threatening.
I'm worried. The imperial doctors have already prescribed the medicine. My servant and Ruixue have just served the young lady to drink half a bowl of medicine, and now they are waiting for the medicine to take effect. As long as the young lady can wake up, there will be no serious problem."
After hearing these words, Gu Xinian's gloomy face did not change at all: "Why did you only drink half a bowl of medicine?" Since it is a detoxification decoction, of course it will be more effective if you drink more.
Ruomei smiled bitterly: "Young mistress is unconscious, and she still spent a lot of effort to feed her half a bowl of medicine."
Ruixue also came over at this time, sighing softly and echoing: "This slave also wants to feed Young Mistress more medicine, but the medicine she feeds can only be swallowed at most half, and more than half of it is leaked out..."
Gu Xinian said without looking back: "Go and ask someone to fry another bowl of medicine."
The two maids were stunned, but neither of them dared to say anything or ask any questions, so they hurriedly responded. Ruomei was left behind, and Ruixue went to cook the medicine herself.
Ruomei added: "Everyone in the Fengyidian kitchen has been called to the back room, and the Queen is interrogating herself. Concubine Lin and Concubine Shen also followed. The seventh young lady has been here to accompany the young lady, but
I was worried when I saw no reply for a long time, so I just got up and went over to see what was going on."
Only then did the prince speak: "Cousin, you don't have to worry too much. Since the doctors have said that there is no danger to your life, you will definitely get better soon."
Gu Xinian was not in the mood to speak, so he just hummed casually.
Ruomei hesitated to speak, and the prince was secretly surprised and couldn't help asking: "Is there something else you haven't said?"
Ruomei opened her mouth to report heartily: "Your Majesty, the young lady didn't eat much, but the princess had a full bowl of sweet mung bean soup..."
This time, it was the turn of His Highness the Crown Prince to change his expression. He and Mrs. Mo did not have a deep relationship, but in any case, Mrs. Mo was also his serious first wife. If something really happened, how could he feel better?
At that moment, the prince was no longer in the mood to comfort Gu Xinian, and hurried to Mrs. Mo's house.
Mo's situation was indeed worse than Ye Qinglan's. Ye Qinglan finally drank some medicine, but Mo's mouth was not opened and she couldn't feed the medicine even if she wanted to. Mingyue and other maids were waiting on the side, all of them were
Tearful.
The prince looked irritated and anxious, and said in a deep voice: "How can I feed you like this? You guys, please open the mouth of the princess and pour more medicine into it." Even if it looks uglier, it is better than losing her life.
Much stronger.
The maids did not dare to disobey the order, so they complied. One supported Mo, another held her chin, and the other held the medicine bowl close to her. The medicine finally took effect, and the medicine splashed everywhere.
I can't care about it for the moment.
Seeing that half of the bowl of medicine was poured in, the prince felt relieved a little: "If someone makes the medicine again, use this method to feed the medicine to the princess. She must drink at least two bowls before she can stop. Tonight, you guys
Take turns to keep vigil, and someone must always watch over the Crown Princess." The maids agreed in unison.
The prince then got up and went to find Queen Gu.
At this time, Empress Gu was sitting there with a sullen face, and a row of people knelt in front of her. Among these people were the royal chef, the eunuchs and maids who did the chores, and two rough ladies. Each of them looked frightened, but
No one dared to shout loudly that they were wronged, they all knelt there obediently.
Concubine Lin stood aside shivering, her eyes red.
The moment the prince came in, everyone was stunned. But Concubine Lin's eyes lit up, as if she had a backbone, and the tears that had stopped rolled down again: "Your Highness, concubine, really
Nothing has been done, you must believe me..."
"Okay, there's nothing to cry about!" The prince glared at her with some impatience: "As long as the princess and Mrs. Ye are safe, you will be safe too. If there is anything good about the two of them... Humph!"
Even if Concubine Lin hadn't done anything, she would never have gotten away with it!
The implication of the prince's words was so obvious that Concubine Lin could not hear it. She suddenly stopped and lost her voice. She did not dare to cry anymore and wiped her tears randomly with her sleeves.
"Why are you here?" Queen Gu was a little surprised, and there was indescribable tiredness in her voice. She had not recovered from a long illness. She had been holding on to the interrogation before, and her mental and physical strength was already a little exhausted. Now she saw the prince, this
Fatigue suddenly came over me.
The prince responded briefly: "After I received the letter, I rushed into the palace. My cousin is also here and is accompanying Mr. Ye."
These two short sentences caused a subtle change in Queen Gu's expression.
Shen Qiuyu, who was standing aside, lowered his eyelids to cover up the fleeting envy and jealousy in his eyes.
The prince was comforting Queen Gu in a low voice and had no time to pay attention to the change in Shen Qiuyu's expression: "Mother, if you are sick, don't worry about these things. Go back and have a good rest first, and leave this place to me." As he said that, his eyes flashed.
A hint of sternness and ruthlessness.
Empress Gu nodded happily, thought for a while and said: "Have a good time interrogating, don't cause any casualties for the time being." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support,
