Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 40 The Dark Night Poison (2)

Then she said something to Jian'er who was still standing and asked her to lead the way. When the concubine Zhen was about to leave, Yue Ling suddenly grabbed her and begged: "Mother, I am very worried about sister Xi, please take me with you." Let's go together!" The concubine Zhen disagreed at first, but finally brought her along after she couldn't bear her begging.

When Fulin arrived at the Punishment Division, Rixi had already been moved out of the cell and placed in a clean room. Rixi was lying flat on the bed, with a dark blue complexion, purple lips, and the corners of his mouth were even more hanging. With a ray of dark poisonous blood, one of the two imperial physicians present inserted golden needles into her body to slow down the flow of poisonous blood, and the other asked the palace lady to pour detoxification decoction into her mouth, and Rixi could no longer swallow it. , Often only three or four mouthfuls flowed into the abdomen, and the rest flowed out of the mouth.

Fulin stopped a group of people from seeing the ceremony, came to the bedside, saw Rixi's expression of pain still in a coma, and couldn't bear it. After all, he liked Rixi, although not many, but at least he liked him.

Thinking of how she was still acting like a baby in front of me a few days ago, with such a bright and happy smile, and comparing it with her dying appearance now, I felt infinite regret in my heart, how could a person with such an innocent smile do harm to others, He shouldn't have distrusted her, and shouldn't have locked her here, otherwise, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to poison her!
"How is she?" Fulin asked the imperial physician with a heavy heart. Zhang Ming and another imperial physician wanted to stop what they were doing to answer, but Fulin immediately stopped them, telling them not to stop saving lives, but to speak while doing it. That's it.

"Returning to the emperor, according to Weichen and others' diagnosis, nobleman Xi is poisoned by the poison of 'Crane Dinghong'. This poison is extremely toxic, and those who suffer from it will die immediately."

"That Xi'er, she..." Fulin's heart seemed to be beaten by someone, and there was slight pain and panic. His imperial physician told him that Rixi was hopeless.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that nobleman Xi has not been poisoned deeply, and I found that nobleman Xi seems to have been poisoned by another kind of poison besides the red on the top of the crane. The imperial physician has already forced the two kinds of poison in Xi Guiren's body together, as long as the poisonous blood is exhausted later, it will be fine." It was Zhang Ming who answered, he had already completed the acupuncture technique, and Imperial Physician Lin went to the side Prescribe medicine.

Hearing this, Fulin was slightly relieved, and then urged him to release the poison. Zhang Ming took the order and asked the maid to move Rixi's hands to the edge of the bed, and asked someone to bring a basin of boiled water from outside to the edge of the bed. At this moment, Rixi's slender fingers more than doubled in size, and her fingers turned black.

After everything was ready, Zhang Ming took out a silver needle, and stabbed it on Rixi's ten fingers with a flick of his wrist. Immediately, thick black blood dripped from the punctured place, accompanied by a stench. When it fell into the pot and merged with hot water, it started to boil, as if there was a pot of fire burning underneath.

After the injection was finished, Zhang Ming realized that Fulin was still beside him, and said in panic, "Your Majesty, please stand a little farther away, so as not to be poisoned by the poisonous gas."

Fulin hummed, but he didn't see him move, still staring at Rixi who was in a coma. With the release of poisonous blood, the swelling of her ten fingers gradually subsided, and the color also changed from black to gray. Her face changed from blue to white, from blue to white. The white turned red, and finally stopped in the pale. She seemed to be able to feel the pain, her brows were always furrowed tightly, and the corners of her eyes were more moist and oozing, which was really distressing. Fulin couldn't help wiping away the dripping tears with her sleeve .

Seeing that the poisonous blood was exhausted and the bleeding turned into a normal color, Zhang Ming hurriedly asked someone to wrap gauze on Rixi's hand to stop the bleeding.On the other side, Imperial Physician Lin also handed over the prescriptions for removing residual poison and nourishing blood and nourishing Qi to the maid next to her. After finishing all these, the two imperial physicians had time to wipe off the juice on their faces.

After confirming that there was no serious problem at day and night, Fulin's heart finally returned to its original position, and he was able to ask about the cause of the poisoning.

Imperial Physician Lin cupped his hands and said: "Return to the emperor, I found the poison of Hedinghong in the Sansi Rugu soup that Xi Guiren used tonight. It seems that someone poisoned this soup." He tried it with a silver needle. After a while, the needle turned black as soon as it was put into the soup. It can be seen that what he said was true: "As for the other poison, please forgive my incompetence for not being able to diagnose what poison it is!" He lowered his head in shame, Zhang Ming next to him also looked the same.

At this time, Concubine Tong, Concubine Zhen, and Yue Ling who followed also arrived. As soon as they came in, they first saluted Fulin and asked. What's the matter, is it important?"

Fulin asked Zhang Ming to repeat what happened just now with a gloomy face. When she heard that Rixi was out of danger, Concubine Tong breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, I'm fine. The concubine was taken aback, who is Xing, who is so vicious, and wants to put noble Xi to death?!"

"I really want to know who it is!" Fulin glanced at the crowd with angry eyes, and everyone felt that the temperature in the room dropped a lot.

"Your majesty, don't be angry. Sister Xi has just been rescued by the imperial physician. She is still very weak. It's time for her to rest. If we talk here, it's easy to disturb her. Besides, your majesty has been busy all night, so you must be tired. How about Take a rest outside, drink a sip of tea to refresh yourself, and then investigate the responsibility, what do you think, the emperor?"

The concubine Zhen's words of judging the situation really made Fulin nod: "It's still Zhen'er who is thoughtful, and I will follow your words."

Concubine Zhen did not forget her color because of Fulin's praise, she still kept a gentle and moving smile, but Concubine Tong was a little unhappy.Since Yueling came in, she kept her eyes on Rixi. Although she heard the doctor said that there was nothing serious, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She couldn't help crying secretly. When she heard that they were going out, she hurriedly knelt down in front of Fulin. , choked up and begged: "Your Majesty, please let this concubine stay here to take care of Mrs. Xi!"

"You are..." Fulin is not familiar with this concubine who is crying with pear blossoms and rain, and he didn't pay attention to it just now. At this moment, concubine Zhen approached and said, "This is Ling Changzai from Concubine Tong's palace. She is very close to Mrs. Xi, just now when the emperor sent someone to pass on his concubine, she happened to be there too, begging his concubine to bring her here, but his concubine brought her here because he couldn't bear it for a while, and hoped that the emperor would forgive him! "

Hearing her explanation, Fulin finally understood: "Forget it, you can stay here and take care of Xi'er with the imperial physician, and when Concubine Tong returns, you can go with her."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yueling wept with joy, thanked her and ran to Rixi's bedside, holding her hand wrapped in heavy gauze, her eyes were full of sadness, even Fulin and the others forgot to get up and send them off when they left, but they didn't People care about her.
