The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 644 Protesting ([-])

Bai Changqing put one hand on Chen Baoping's wrist and took his pulse carefully. A little bit of surprise suddenly appeared on his calm expression, and he searched again as if he was not confident.

And Mrs. Chen was stern and cowardly. Ever since Zhuo Lan entered the Nuan Pavilion, she had been crying non-stop, clutching her chest and sobbing violently. Bai Changqing took a long time to calm her down before she could feel her pulse.

After a long time, Bai Changqing murmured for a while, bowed his hands to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, I am incompetent, if you want to save the lives of Mrs. Chen and his wife, please hurry up and call the Imperial Physician Chu."

Bai Changqing's words were not clear, Chen Baoping and his wife looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking how could ordinary wind and cold hurt their lives?

In fact, it's not just the two of them, the Queen Mother also frowned and asked: "The Ai family knows that you are smarter than Imperial Physician Chu when it comes to medical skills. What kind of illnesses can't be cured by you but he can?"

Bai Changqing replied in a respectful voice: "It's not a disease. After exploring the pulse, I suspect that Mr. Chen has been poisoned by Gu poison. It looks like a unique 'cold insect Gu' in Miaojiang. Imperial Physician Chu was born in Yunnan and Guizhou, and he is quite proficient in it." Dao, find him, maybe it can be solved.”

"Gu poison?" The queen mother was quite surprised: "How can there be such dirty things in the imperial palace and forbidden city?"

Wan Lai brought Bai Changqing here because she expected that Zhuo Lan would act ruthlessly, seeing Chen Baoping and his wife this time would definitely not leave a way for them to survive.Since people are released from the palace alive, they must be playing tricks on other matters.

She suspected that Zhuo Lan might have poisoned Chen Baoping and his wife, but she didn't expect that it was a Gu.

She glanced at Zhuo Lan faintly, and seeing that she was slightly afraid, she subconsciously shrank her body back, so she said with more certainty: "Queen Mother, do you think that Concubine Jia will fly to the branch now, and Chen will be left behind?" Is your lord the stumbling block that hinders her success?"

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment, then Fang said: "She can make Gu?"

When Chen Baoping and his wife heard that they had been poisoned by Gu, they panicked for a while, especially Mrs. Chen was extremely frightened, her eyes widened with slack and drooping eyelids, and she stared at Zhuo Lan in a daze.

After a while, the bowl of donkey-hide gelatin blood swallow soup that Zhuo Lan insisted on drinking flashed through her mind, she suddenly realized, she forced herself up and rushed in front of Zhuo Lan, slapped her several times, and couldn't stop cursing. Said: "Bitch! You actually want to kill me? Don't forget who is eating when you are about to starve to death, you bitch!"

She struck very hard, Zhuo Lan dodged left and right, but she was still beaten with bruises all over her face.

It was the empress dowager who angrily reprimanded for being presumptuous, only to see Qingzhu beckoning the palace people to pull the two people who were struggling together.

Zhuo Lan raised her cry and told the Queen Mother that she was wronged, but how could the Queen Mother want to pay attention to her?I just ordered someone to invite Dr. Chu to come.

After careful investigation, Chen Baoping and his wife were indeed infected with the 'cold worm Gu', but the time of the infection is still young, and there is still hope for treatment.

Wan Yu held the teacup in her hand, took a sip slowly, and said in a low voice, "I want to know, how is it so shallow? Was it ten days ago, five days ago, or yesterday?"

Physician Chu replied respectfully: "This 'cold worm Gu' is not the most powerful kind of worms. After it invades the human body, it will first trigger the cold syndrome. It only makes people think it is an ordinary cold and low fever symptom. It is not very serious. I don't care. After more than ten days from the onset of the cold syndrome, the Gu worms will start to devour the internal organs of the person from the inside out, and will not rest until death. Seeing that Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen are just suffering from the cold syndrome for the first time, it seems like this It took a day or two for people to be deceived."

When Chen Baoping and his wife heard the words "until death", they were so scared that they broke into cold sweats. They only wanted to survive and had no intention of haggling with Zhuo Lan.The empress dowager was benevolent, she recited a Buddhist voice and said, "Doctor Chu, are you sure?"

Grand Physician Chu nodded and said: "'Cold Insect Gu' is most afraid of 'Three-tailed Grass', grind it into a paste and take it with water, and within half an hour the Gu insects will be excreted out of the body with the dirt."

After being ordered by the Empress Dowager, the two of them followed Imperial Physician Chu to the back hall to treat illnesses, and after waiting for others to go, they looked at Zhuo Lan with a gloomy expression and asked, "Is that you?"

Zhuo Lan bit her lip and shook her head, hastily dismissing the matter, her usual weak appearance aroused pity.

Wan Yu glanced at her, and said calmly: "It's not you? That's strange, Chen Baoping and his wife have been with you since they entered the palace, so who else can do it if you didn't do it?" Imperial Physician Chu said that it takes more than half a month for a person to die violently. After half a month, everyone has gone back to Hangzhou. How can anyone suspect that this matter is on your mind? Concubine Jia, you are really vicious!"

Zhuo Lan's cry was full of sorrow and surprise, she shook her head desperately, almost shaking her neck: "No! Not a concubine! Really not a concubine!" Her voice was sharp and piercing, shaking the fresh snow under the eaves. All scattered down.

"It's not you, it must be your maidservant!" The queen mother suddenly pointed at Yuanyuan and glared, "It's not a good thing for Aijia to look at you! Today I will deal with you first!"

As the words fell, some palace servants stepped forward to catch Yuanyuan, Zhuo Lan stumbled forward, opened her arms to protect Yuanyuan, her face was full of tears: "Queen Dowager, imperial concubine! I beg you to be merciful! I am not a concubine. I have been wronged. The concubine is really wronged!"

The inner eunuch came forward to arrest Yuanyuan under the order of the Queen Mother, but if Zhuo Lan dared to stop her, she dared to defy her own order.

Just as he was about to have an attack, he suddenly heard a loud announcement from the inner prisoner outside the hall, 'The emperor is here'!
Almost following the voice, the emperor walked in quickly, followed by Prince Yinfeng.

When Zhuo Lan saw the emperor, it was as if she had seen a life-saving straw, she grabbed the corner of the emperor's court clothes tightly with one hand.At this moment, she was so scared that her face turned pale, she cried with trembling lips and teeth: "Your Majesty, please save this concubine, I don't want to die!"

"Bold!" The emperor lifted Zhuo Lan from the cold ground and hugged her in his arms. Seeing that her clothes had been ripped off, he said angrily, "Who ripped off the concubine's clothes!? Carefully, I took off his head! "

The queen mother stared at him, and said sharply: "It's the Ai family! Why, the emperor wants to fight with the Ai family?" After saying that, she slammed the teacup in her hand on the ground: "Let's see clearly that you gave Ai Xinjue What kind of daughter-in-law did the Luo family bring in!"

The Empress Dowager was furious, Wan Yu left her seat and led all the palace people to kneel down and said in unison: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty calm down."

Concern is chaotic, just now my mind was only on Zhuo Lan, but now I see that Wanyi is also there.

"Wan'er, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines came with the Empress Dowager, and the concubine came here to solve the doubts in the hearts of the Empress Dowager and the ministers and concubines." Wan Lai said firmly: "It is also to solve the emperor."

"Get up and answer." The emperor held Zhuo Lan in his arms, raised his hand at Wannai, and asked again: "What kind of doubt? Just now I heard the truth outside, and the concubine Jia has a good voice. It's gone."

Seeing Zhuo Lan leaning over the emperor's chest, Wanyu wept, as if the water of a clear stream was entwined around the man.

Such a charming woman, but her mind is so treacherous and vicious, it is really terrifying.

She glanced at Zhuo Lan and said solemnly: "Did you say it yourself, or did I say it for you?"
