Sixth Story 5
Shen Xinyu is the empress of the dynasty, so she can be poisoned? This conclusion undoubtedly frightened Zhou Zhao.
If someone can poison Shen Xinyu, they can also poison him? The more Zhou Zhao thought about it, the more afraid he felt, and he had more doubts about his own situation.
Maybe he was poisoned to become what he is now!
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhao felt powerless. He sat on the stool brought by the waiter and didn’t dare to touch the painful part of his body. If it wasn’t for the fear of losing face, he would have wanted to have the imperial physician examine himself again on the spot. .
“Niangniang! The prince hasn’t woken up yet, so you must hold on!” Shen Xinyu’s confidant began to cry.
After being cried by this mama, Zhou Zhao was much more awake, and he felt even more uncomfortable when he thought that the prince was also unconscious due to poisoning.
“How is the queen now?” Zhou Zhao asked. The imperial physician of the Queen’s family immediately replied: “Back to the emperor, the empress has been poisoned for too long, and it is difficult to remove all the toxins. I am afraid it will hinder your lifespan.”
, and someone added: “The queen has been poisoned for so long, I am afraid that she has been suffering from illness all these years.”
The queen has been in bad health since she gave birth to a child at an old age. Zhou Zhao also knows that, but he will not do anything even if he rests at the queen’s place since then. , so I have never looked at the queen carefully, but now I look…
the queen is two years younger than him, but now she looks very old, as if she is ten years older than him, and even has a lot of gray hair on the temples… Zhou Zhao felt uncomfortable for a while in his heart, and at the same time wondered, who did poison the queen’s?
The queen herself definitely wouldn’t make herself look like this, so… Zhou Zhao thought of the precious concubine almost immediately, but immediately threw this speculation out of his head.
Precious Concubine has always been kind and often said good things for the Queen, so how could she do this?
However, didn’t he have an accident with the precious concubine before? Precious Concubine is also reluctant to call an imperial doctor for fame…
Various thoughts flashed through Zhou Zhao’s mind, and he finally decided to ignore them for the time being: “The Queen’s illness, you must take good care of it, and take whatever you want!”
Those imperial physicians naturally knelt down and said yes, and at this time , Shen Xinyu also opened her eyes faintly.
“Empress, are you awake?” Zhou Zhao immediately leaned over.
“Your Majesty?” Shen Xinyu exclaimed, and then her expression became much more solemn: “Why is the Emperor here, do you think that the previous reprimand was not enough, and you want to teach me again?”
“You think too much, your health is not good, I came to see you.” Zhou Zhao said embarrassingly.
“I’m fine… Mammy, aren’t we going to the prince’s place? Why are we here?” Shen Xinyu struggled to get up and looked at her mama.
“Niangniang, you are poisoned, so you can’t work harder!” The maid said quickly: “Niangniang, I beg you, you should rest well you can’t wear down your body.”
“Poisoned?” Shen Xinyu was surprised.
“Yeah, Niangniang, you have been poisoned, and it has been poisoned for more than ten years. I don’t know which God you killed to harm Niangniang like this…” The old madam burst into tears and cried extremely sadly.
Zhou Zhao also knew that nanny. This is Shen Xinyu’s nanny. When they were in Zhao Wang’s mansion, their family’s three meals a day were all cooked by Shen Xinyu with this nanny.
At the beginning, this nanny was only thirty or forty years old, and her charm still existed. Now she is so old, and looking at her bloodshot eyes, I am afraid she has not rested well these days.
“Mummy is right, you should take a good rest, I will let people watch over the prince.” Zhou Zhao said, and then ordered the imperial physicians to prescribe medicine for Shen Xinyu to detoxify.
After he gave all the words he was about to give, he was speechless. He stood there for a while, feeling that there was nothing he could do, so he walked out, but he didn’t get far before he fainted in front of everyone’s eyes!
The emperor fainted, this matter is much more than the queen fainted! The imperial physicians present were trying to pass, but they couldn’t see anything.
The emperor’s situation seems like someone hit an important acupuncture point on his body, but the key is that everyone saw it just now, and no one around the emperor touched him at all!
Could it be that the emperor was also poisoned?
No matter what the situation is at the moment, Zhou Zhao was quickly carried back and placed next to Shen Xinyu.
Shen Xinyu looked at the man lying beside her, but she didn’t show anything on her face, she just looked at the mammy beside her: “Mammy, I’m not feeling well, you help me to see the prince.”
“this old slave is going!” The mammy said immediately.
Those imperial physicians couldn’t help sighing when they saw this scene – the queen is full of love as a mother, but it is a pity that the prince’s life is not long…
Of course, although most imperial physicians think so, but there are also imperial physicians who don’t think so, that is precious Concubine’s person. Like Imperial Physician Li, he was only close to the precious concubine, but among the imperial physicians, there were also those who thoroughly worked for the precious concubine. At this moment, the imperial physician was in a hurry.
Not to mention that the Queen’s poisoning was discovered, the Emperor also suffered from a strange disease. If you are not careful, the precious concubine will be miserable! He must spread the news!
After Shen Xinyu let the aunt leave, she asked the imperial doctor about her current situation in detail, and then she lay on the couch and closed her eyes and didn’t care about anything else, but the aunt had already arrived in the East Palace, but she told the concubine princess like this.
Zhou Zhao woke up. He woke up quickly his pulse was fine, so he didn’t need to worry about it, but because of this, he became more and more uncertain.
He is an emperor, and he will be unconscious for no reason. What is the reason? But these imperial physicians around him couldn’t see anything!
Could it be that he was really poisoned by some inexorable poison?
The more Zhou Zhao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and regardless of Shen Xinyu’s presence, he directly fired at those imperial physicians.
Shen Xinyu’s medicine was brought here at this time. Shen Xinyu drank the medicine and saw that her servant had also returned, and immediately said: “Your Majesty, the concubine has to go to see the prince, so I will retire first!”
“Wait ! Wait, I’ll go too!” Zhou Zhao immediately said, he is very irritable now, at this time he would go to Precious Concubine to solve it, but now Precious Concubine… He can’t help but think about the poison in his body. Could it be the hands and feet of the precious concubine?
Since he can’t go to the precious concubine, he can only follow Shen Xinyu, and also stop by to see the prince.
Shen Xinyu knew for a long time that Zhou Zhao might want to visit the prince after some messy things happened, so she had already instructed the mammy beside her to go to the East Palace to prepare the prince concubine. When they pass, there will be no mistakes.
Last night, in addition to using the telescopic mirror to observe the situation around Zhou Zhao, she made a plan to determine what to do today, and she also kept an eye on her son. Naturally, she knew that her son was awake, and even this morning. God speaks intelligently…
Of course, the Crown Princess has concealed all this very well. Under the circumstances that all the imperial doctors said that the Crown Prince was not saved, no one would know that the Crown Prince was expected to be rescued.
The emperor and the queen came to the East Palace together, and the Crown Princess naturally wanted to come out to greet her. She has been so frightened these days that her face was haggard. Yesterday, Zhou Zhao felt uncomfortable when she saw it, as if she was blaming herself, so she simply left early. Now He felt a little sick himself, but the prince…
“The crown prince can’t stand the noise, the emperor should bring less people in.” Shen Xinyu said, her lips trembling when she spoke.
Although she saw her son open his eyes in the mirror before, she has not yet confirmed with her own eyes that her son is really healed. Even if her son is really well… After such a serious illness, the crown prince is afraid that he will have no hope of returning to health in the future.
Clenching her fist, Shen Xinyu strode inside, Zhou Zhao looked at the long list of people behind him, and finally walked in with only an imperial physician and a few serving people.
Thinking that others had said that the prince had been defeated before, Zhou Zhao took a few steps and paused again, only to find that there was no strange smell in it except for the smell of medicine, and then went in again.
The prince looked very bad, lying on the bed motionless, which made Zhou Zhao couldn’t help but want to quit, but he still stood still, just like the prince, he couldn’t say anything else.
Zhou Zhao always thought that when the prince became like this, Shen Xinyu would definitely cry and make trouble in front of him and ask for an explanation, but Shen Xinyu didn’t at all, she just sat there quietly, looked at the prince quietly, and wept quietly.
This situation made Zhou Zhao feel that the time was extremely difficult. Finally, he found an excuse to leave: “I still have government affairs to deal with, so I will leave first.”
“Your Majesty, rest well, my concubine will stay here today.” Shen Xinyu choked.
Shen Xinyu’s attitude was not the same as before, but Zhou Zhao thought about the matter of the prince, and then thought about Shen Xinyu’s own poisoning, and felt that Shen Xinyu should have been hit too hard.
Zhou Zhao turned and left, and took the imperial physicians to continue to study his “condition”, but Shen Xinyu looked at the prince on the bed after driving away all the other people, and called out, “Crown prince.”
“Mother…” The prince opened his eyes and showed a weak smile.
“Don’t worry, Huang’er, it should be yours, the mother will definitely give it to you!” Shen Xinyu whispered.
“Empress mother?” The prince looked at his mother puzzled. He thought he was going to die, but he didn’t expect to wake up, and he didn’t understand why his mother made him pretend to be dizzy in front of his father.
“Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will stay here for the time being. You take good care of your wounds. When your wounds are healed, the Queen Mother will tell you everything.” Shen Xinyu said, and took out another capsule with antibiotics for the Crown Prince to eat. .
The poison on the prince’s body was taken after being stabbed by the victims with a knife. The wound is not yet healed, and this medicine is said to be good for the wound.
“This is?” The prince ate something, but he was also a little curious about what he ate.
“The queen mother can only save you with the help of the gods. This is the magic medicine given by the gods. The emperor will definitely get better and better after eating it.” Shen Xinyu said, showing a smile to the prince. At this point, she is completely Believe in Mu Ling.
Even if Mu Ling is not an immortal or a devil, for Mu Ling’s sake of saving her son, she is willing to go to hell for Mu Ling.
The prince was not in a good mood, so he fell asleep quickly. Seeing this, Shen Xinyu asked the princess to look at the prince and went back to the next room to rest.
Or rather than resting, she used the telescopic mirror to observe Zhou Zhao’s every move, and by the way, he also began to observe the precious concubine.
Since Shen Xinyu already knew the usage of this telescopic mirror, she would naturally try to make the best use of it, so when she broke into the precious concubine’s palace before, she asked Mu Ling to record the precious concubine’s information in it.
If this telescopic mirror has someone else’s hair or objects, it can check the situation of that person. If it touches a certain person, it will naturally be able to see the situation of this person in the future.
After Zhou Zhao left the Prince’s residence, he also brought in the imperial doctor who was not in the palace last night, and asked him to examine his body. It was like this but no one could find out what was wrong with him.
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. After instructing the people around him to find out what happened to himself and the queen, he went to Concubine Precious’s residence to confront Concubine Precious.
He had been doing well before, but something happened to Concubine Precious at the end of the period inexplicably, and Concubine Precious once stopped him from going to the imperial doctor… Zhou Zhao couldn’t do anything at this moment not to doubt Concubine Precious.
If the prince dies, the queen dies, the emperor also dies…
In the palace of the precious concubine, did the precious concubine really plan to kill him, if the queen came over suddenly, maybe he would be dead?
Although Precious Concubine was asked to think about it behind closed doors, she already knew about the discovery of the queen’s poisoning. While she regretted that she had not killed the queen earlier, she was very puzzled by the sudden sudden illness of the emperor.
The crown prince is about to die, and the queen is also dying soon. It stands to reason that the prince will die next, and then the queen will be overwhelmed with sadness. Now everything has changed?
When the precious concubine entered the palace, she came to the position of the queen mother wholeheartedly, but she did not think that she was about to succeed in half, and she would fail again because of an accident.
Precious Concubine couldn’t figure out this matter, so she asked someone to discuss: “What is the matter with Your Majesty, those imperial physicians really can’t find out anything?”
” What the hell happened, the second time he fainted suddenly in full view, no one did anything to him at all.” The person beside Precious Concubine said.
“Why did you get a strange disease at this juncture?” Concubine Precious said angrily.
“Niangniang, could someone have done something to His Majesty?”
“No? Who can unknowingly do something to His Majesty so that the imperial physician can’t see it? Your Majesty is like this, it seems that something is wrong. Something not clean things.” Precious Concubine frowned slightly and said that if the medicine they secretly gave the Queen was not very light, those imperial physicians preconceived that the Queen was weak after giving birth, and I am afraid that they would have been discovered long ago.
“Could it be the Empress?” The people who accompanied the precious concubine also had this suspicion.
However, although they doubted it, they felt that this was untenable. Let’s not talk about ghosts and gods, it was illusory, and they said that the queen…the prince is going to die, and the queen has only the emperor to rely on now, how can she harm the emperor? If the emperor died at this juncture, it would only cost her son!
Thinking about it this way, Concubine Precious is hoping that the emperor will die soon…
Concubine Precious can only blame herself for being too unlucky, so that the emperor is unfortunately ill at this time, but even so, it does not affect her. When she was questioned by Zhou Zhao, she planned to lead Zhou Zhao to suspect it…
“Your Majesty, are you alright?” Precious Concubine heard that Zhou Zhao had come to her, and made preparations early, and then when Zhou Zhao came in Immediately, he threw himself into Zhou Zhao’s arms.
Zhou Zhao used to enjoy being thrown into the arms of the precious concubine, but today he was in pain everywhere, but he couldn’t feel any warmth, instead he scolded: “Precious concubine, did you do the poisoning of the queen? And I this strange disease…”
“Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged. The concubine has always admired the empress, and you are the concubine’s support. How could the concubine harm you? The concubine swears that the concubine will never poison anyone. , otherwise, the concubine will not be able to die!” The precious concubine said decisively, and the oath was poisonous enough, after all, even if she really wanted to poison, it was not her who did it.
“Nonsense!” Zhou Zhao said coldly.
“Your Majesty, what the concubine said is true. Even if the concubine really wanted to harm you, it couldn’t be in the bed of the concubine! Wouldn’t that make others suspect the concubine?”
When Zhou Zhao saw the precious concubine Very angry, but the precious concubine cursed and swore, but his heart softened, and his previous suspicions were shaken.
Discovering this, Concubine Precious said again: “Your Majesty, the concubine would rather lose her life than let you have an accident! If you don’t believe me, Concubine is willing to die to prove her innocence!” Concubine Precious said, and nodded. Hit the wall next to it.
With so many servants around, it is of course impossible for the precious concubine to really hit the wall, and someone stopped her soon, but even so, it was still quite noisy.
Zhou Zhao’s face finally showed some emotion: “Concubine Ai, you don’t have to do this!”
Concubine Precious cried: “Your Majesty, the concubine really didn’t do anything, and you have symptoms, but I heard it from the concubine before. The thing I mentioned is somewhat similar.”
Zhou Zhao was anxious about how to solve his own situation, and hurriedly asked: “What’s the matter?”
“My concubine was told by a woman in Zhuangzi when she went to Zhuangzishang on the outskirts of Beijing for a summer vacation. The woman said that there was a rich businessman in their hometown, and they had only one daughter in their life, so they recruited a foreigner for her daughter. The foreigner was very kind to the rich businessman and his only daughter at first, but he didn’t want to bring back a woman and a few children after the rich businessman died. It turned out that the foreigner had already married a wife and had children in his hometown, in order to marry the rich businessman only daughter, he lied that he was not married. Now that he saw the death of the rich merchant, and only the orphans and widows were left in the rich merchant’s family, he occupied the wealthy merchant’s property and brought back his former wife and children. Not only that, he also treat the wives and daughters of wealthy merchants harshly.” Precious Concubine slowly told the story.
“What does this have to do with my illness?” Zhou Zhao became impatient. Now he only needs to go to the toilet and it hurts. It’s very uncomfortable!
“The man has been abusing the rich merchant’s wife and daughter. After the rich merchant’s daughter was pregnant with his child, he even condoned his wife to beat the rich merchant’s daughter to get pregnant. As a result, everyone felt that the rich merchant’s family wealth would be occupied by him. At the same time, he suddenly fell to the ground one day, and then became more and more ill and lost his life, and the wife and children he brought to the wealthy merchant’s house were also in pain, sometimes fainted, and finally lost their lives.” Precious Concubine said.
“Why is this?” Zhou Zhao asked quickly.
“In the beginning, no one knew what happened to the family, and they only thought it was evil, but it didn’t take long for the wealthy businessman’s wife to die. After she died, there were still several people who wrote A doll with a needle on its birthday…” Concubine Precious said and then lowered her voice. Although the background of her story is completely different from Zhou Zhao’s, there are similarities. The queen has not been favored for all these years. child?
Zhou Zhao was horrified by the words of the precious concubine, and he did think of Shen Xinyu, and at this time, the third prince came.
The third prince is eighteen years old this year, and he looks like a jade tree. Of course, the most important thing is that he has an excellent relationship with Zhou Zhao. When the prince was young, Zhou Zhao kept shrinking from the Zhao palace, and it was reasonable to say that he had a strong father-son relationship with the prince, but the fact was just the opposite.
At that time, he was worried and afraid all day. Although he was always with the children, he didn’t have a good face towards his children, nor was he in the mood to teach them to read. What’s more, the prince was young at that time, and he really couldn’t teach much.
What about when he takes the throne? The crown prince went to school almost immediately and had less contact with him. It was the third prince, who had always grown under his eyelids under the coquettishness of the precious concubine. He also taught the third prince to write and write by heart.
The arrival of the third prince made Zhou Zhao relax a lot. After the third prince said a lot of good things and repeatedly emphasized his admiration for Zhou Zhao, Zhou Zhao no longer embarrassed the precious concubine.
However, he still let the precious concubine continue to face the wall and think about it, but did not release the precious concubine.
Shen Xinyu looked at all this, and couldn’t help but admire the precious concubine very much.
She thought that her plan was already very good, but she didn’t expect Concubine Precious to come up with a way to deal with it, and it was still such a sinister plan that she could knock her queen to the dust if she used it well.
It is not unreasonable that she has been unable to compete for the precious concubine all these years, at least she never thought of these strategies.
Fortunately, now that all this is in her eyes, she can come up with countermeasures without worrying at all.
“Mu Ling, thank you.” Shen Xinyu said.
“No thanks.” Mu Ling smiled slightly.
