Chapter 265
In the dead of night, Lu Yungui and the court lady Zhiyuan came to wait outside the Changchun Palace where the imperial concubine Xie Minmin was.

Although he is still brooding over his mother's death, his heart is like a knife.

But along the way, whether it was registering the time of entry into the palace, or responding to the teasing from the inner prisoner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he never showed the slightest strange expression on his face.

Who knows whose confidant is the court lady holding the lamp beside her?Who is the subordinate of the little inner eunuch who came together?

Even the nobleman Wang Xueru could die in the palace inexplicably, if he showed any clues, he might not be able to leave the palace intact.

What's more, the person I'm going to meet next is Concubine Xie Guifei who was unsuccessfully saved by herself.

If we talk about the previous self, he would still be aggrieved because the envoy and his colleagues disagreed.Now, facing the dangerous situation within the palace walls, he also had to learn to be cautious in his words and deeds.

After all, the person who murdered Concubine Xie Guifei's heir originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone to get rid of the Lu family.If there is no courtyard to make the adults turn black and white and make nonsense, I am afraid that today's me, together with the Lu family, would have already been decapitated.

But Xie's family and Lu's family have long been at odds with each other, and today's meeting may be an opportunity to heal the sick, and they have other plans.

Not long after, the court lady Zhi Yuan sent a court lady out to meet him.

Seeing people coming out of Changchun Palace, the eunuch standing next to Lu Yungui walked carefully behind, not daring to take a breath.The palace lady skillfully opened the vermilion door, and said to Lu Yungui in a low voice:
"Please, Physician Lu."

After Lu Yungui bowed in return, he shook his robe and crossed the threshold, and the little medicine boy followed with his medicine box on his back.

Although Xie Minmin is only a noble concubine, but looking at the entire inner courtyard of the palace, in terms of luxury and spaciousness, there is no place that can compare with Changchun Palace.

Not to mention that the decoration and furnishings in this palace far surpassed the Fenghua Palace of Queen Wang Xuening, the Yin Palace alone has three layers, which shows how much the emperor loves Xie Minmin.

After successively passing through the Triple Yin Hall full of exotic flowers and plants, cherished antiques, and famous calligraphy and paintings, Lu Yungui followed the maids to the outside of the Xiuluan Pavilion.

When the last door opened in front of Lu Yungui, the golden gauze curtain hanging from the roof was just lifted by the wind.

The countless golden beads and tassels on it, glowing with a warm glow under the candlelight all over the room, set off Xie Minmin, who was sitting in front of an embroidery frame, completely dressed in plain black, sober and noble without losing her elegance.

The movement did not bother her.

On the contrary, it was Lu Yungui who looked at Concubine Xie Guifei who was only a few days old in the first month of Xiaoyue, who actually wore only thin outer clothes and bowed her head to do her work as a female worker.So he lifted his robe and knelt at the door to comfort him:

"Lu Yungui, the royal physician of Weichen, pay respects to Concubine Xie. Your empress must not catch a cold and be tired after the first month of life. If you want to embroider something, you'd better wait until your body recovers."

"Hmph!" Xie Minmin's red lips turned up slightly, and Danfeng's eyes slightly lifted.

His eyes followed the needle line of the soft fingers, slowly moving up from the plain silk brocade in front of him, and then pierced the brocade with the needle point and lowered his eyelashes, without even looking at Lu Yungui, "Emperor Lu can recognize this thing embroidered by this palace!" ?”

After Lu Yungui heard this, he lowered his head even lower: "My humble minister is dull, please let me show you clearly."

"Emperor Lu still needs to make it clear? I think you understand very well in your heart."

After finishing speaking, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her cold gaze swept across the Ruyi cloud pattern embroidered just now, and landed on a black and shiny incense pill in the enamel box on the sandalwood round table beside her:
"This thing, is it the lily of the lily that the courtyard envoy Hao Dashan said did not include Shentanlongmusk?"

Hearing Concubine Xie's question, Lu Yungui immediately became alert.

Seeing the kite holding the box in front of his eyes, he clenched his hands in his sleeves and calmed down. After checking it, he bowed his head and replied:
"Hui Niangniang, this incense pill is exactly the fragrance of lilies."

"Well, what about this one?"

Xie Minmin pointed casually with Kodan's finger, and Zhiyuan took out a brown incense pill from a silver box and put it in Lu Yungui's palm:

"Doctor Lu should look carefully. Is this Shenglan Yixiang who harmed the empress Xiaoyue?"

Lu Yungui checked again, and although he didn't show anything on the surface, he felt a little inexplicably disturbed in his heart.

This fragrant pill is indeed Shenglan Yixiang.

However, compared with the fragrant pills inspected by the court envoy that day, the rhubarb in it has not been roasted with wine.

Therefore, even if there is no difference in the amount of spices and medicinal materials, and the steps to make the incense are the same, but in addition to the different smell, the harm to a pregnant woman with an unstable fetal image is also very different.

The one in front of me has a stronger aroma and is obviously more potent.

If he said against his will that the two are indistinguishable, it would mean that the time from when Concubine Xie Guifei touched the sachet to when her abdominal pain persisted would be greatly shortened.

In this way, the person who drops the pills in the sachet will be locked within a specific time period.

With Concubine Xie's heart and methods, while the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager blamed the crown prince's birth mother for scapegoating but did not execute her, she would search the entire harem to find conclusive evidence and put the person who murdered her to death.

But if the difference between the two is revealed, wouldn't the Master Court Envoy who relieved him of his predicament suffer an unreasonable disaster?

The third brother has said many times that this matter is of great importance, involving the dispute of the crown prince, and the forces behind it have not yet surfaced, so it is absolutely impossible to startle the snake.

Is it Shenglan Yixiang?
This question seems to be wrong no matter what the answer is.

Seeing that Lu Yungui was silent for a long time, but still refused to speak out, Xie Minmin lost his patience.

She threw down the embroidery thread in her hand, got up and placed her soft fingers on Zhiyuan's forearm, and walked up to Lu Yungui with a slender waist: "What? Does Imperial Physician Lu not know, or dare not tell?"

Lu Yungui, who was hesitating how to answer, felt his chin lifted by the soft fingers of the concubine in front of him, and stared at him with hateful eyes under his long brows:

"Let's hear it? Why does Imperial Physician Lu desperately want to keep Bengong's fetus? Is it really to let my mother and son die in the name of protecting the fetus?"

"I have committed a crime, and I hope that my mother will forgive me for my lack of medical skills and reckless behavior." Lu Yungui bent down and kowtowed, holding the incense pill on top of his head with both hands, "As for this incense pill, I am not good at incense, so I really can't tell it apart. That's why I came here. But what is certain is that since this incense pill belongs to the imperial concubine, it must be the best product."

"Oh?" Xie Minmin stood up leisurely, then sat back down again, "How can you be so sure? Is there any way to prove it?"

"Weichen." Lu Yungui looked at the incense pill in his hand, then raised his eyes to see Concubine Xie Guifei condescendingly looking down at him, he just chuckled, "Then Weichen is presumptuous."

After finishing speaking, amidst Zhiyuan's exclamation, he put the brown incense pill in his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

Taking advantage of Xie Minmin's panic, Lu Yungui bowed again: "Your Majesty is weak, it's better for me to diagnose and treat your Majesty first."

The little drug boy took out the pulse pillow at the right time and served him beside him.

Seeing that Concubine Xie Guifei did not refuse, Lu Yungui knelt down and put his fingers on the white silk on her wrist: "Your Majesty was indeed frightened and caught a cold."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yungui suddenly felt like frost had formed on his shoulders, but he didn't care.

He only looked ahead and continued: "There are too many decorations in the empress' bedroom, and the wind at night will disturb the empress's dreams. And the cold night in late autumn, the empress is already weak and embroidered in a thin shirt, so it is inevitable to catch the wind and cold. "

"Then trouble the Imperial Physician Lu, prescribe some prescriptions for this palace, and take the servants to grab the medicine." Xie Minmin raised her phoenix eyes lightly, and the tails of the raised eyes were sharp.

"The minister obeys the order."

Seeing that Lu Yungui was ordered to leave the hall, Xie Minmin finally couldn't help coughing violently, as if his lungs would burst open.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, hurry up and rest on the couch. Since Imperial Physician Lu said so, no one will know what happened that night."

Zhiyuan recalled that she and the imperial concubine had just left Yiying Pavilion, and witnessed Ronggui's death in front of her eyes not too far away, and she still felt close.Fortunately, they left before the guards arrived, and the people around them were very strict with their mouths.

No one will tell about the fact that they went to Yiying Pavilion.

It's just that since the empress returned to the Changchun Palace, she has been coughing non-stop, so she has to go to the imperial physician as a last resort.

Those few people went to the bottom of the matter again, and they must tell the mother where she went out and who she was in contact with. It is really troublesome.

Xie Minmin was assisted back to the bed, and after finally regaining her strength, she grabbed Zhiyuan's hand and shouted angrily: "When will brother come back? When will you come back!"

"The master and the uncle are already on the way, the empress will rest first, and the servant will tell the empress as soon as there is news."

.

Xiao Yaotong followed Lu Yungui out of the Changchun Palace, seeing Fifth Master frowning all the time, he didn't dare to speak.

The two waited by the roadside until the inner eunuch who was traveling with him said that he wanted to relieve himself urgently.

Only after a while, a thin black figure flashed out from behind the palace wall, grabbed Lu Yungui's hand and whispered: "Princess Lu! Physician Lu, help me!"

Lu Yungui raised his eyes, and saw that this maid was Jing'er, the maid of Concubine Yan in Chonghua Palace.
