Chapter 1062: Concubine Chun was infected by the snow silkworm
Concubine Zhuang stood up and walked out, holding the Buddhist beads in her hand with a compassionate look on her face: "Amitabha!"
"God is merciful and kind. Regardless of whether the heir in Concubine Chun's belly has foreign blood or not, it is still a living being. I just hope that nothing will happen to them."
Ruoli sighed, "My Lady, you care so much about Concubine Chun, but she may not appreciate it."
Concubine Zhuang said gently, "Whether she appreciates it or not, God is watching what we do. I will still pray for Concubine Chun and her unborn child."
As the two were talking, the eldest princess came up curiously and said, "Mother, Yun'er just heard you talking about Lady Chun. What happened to her?"
Empress Chun was so good to her, but because Empress Chun was pregnant, her mother would not let her go to Shuixi Pavilion to play.
She missed Lady Chun very much.
Concubine Zhuang touched the eldest princess' head and said gently, "Mother doesn't know yet. Let's go to Shuixi Pavilion first. You stay in Changchun Palace."
The eldest princess knew that she shouldn't go over and cause trouble at a time like this, so she nodded and said, "Yes."
Looking at Concubine Zhuang's hurriedly departing back, the eldest princess's eyes were full of worry.
Nothing will happen to Lady Chun, right?
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Li Changde hurried in from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, something happened!"
"People from Shuixi Pavilion reported that Concubine Chun suddenly vomited blood and is now unconscious. I don't know what happened..."
Nangong Xuanyu put down the memorial in his hand, frowned and asked: "What did you say?"
"Why would Concubine Chun suddenly do this?"
Li Changde held the whisk in his hand, looking anxious: "I don't know either..."
Nangong Xuanyu stood up and walked out: "Go to Shuixi Pavilion."
"Yes."
When the emperor arrived at Shuixi Pavilion, Shen Zhinian's entourage also arrived.
She got off the sedan chair and saluted Nangong Xuanyu: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty!"
"No need to be polite."
Nangong Xuanyu signaled Shen Zhinian to skip the formality, and the two walked inside together.
Soon, Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Xue, Concubine Xuan, Concubine Wang, and other palace concubines also arrived one after another.
No matter what they were thinking, they all looked concerned and worried: "Why would Concubine Chun suddenly vomit blood?"
"Is it poisoned?"
"Has the imperial physician come to see me?"
"Who on earth wants to harm Lady Chun?"
"..."
These women were chattering here, which really gave him a headache. Nangong Xuanyu said coldly: "Everyone, keep quiet!"
Everyone fell silent instantly, looking at each other with embarrassed expressions.
Nangong Xuanyu walked towards the inner room, and Shen Zhinian followed closely behind him.
Wangpin frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.
She lowered her voice and said to Xiao Tianzi beside her: "What tricks is this foreign tribute trying to play?"
"No matter what, she is also a member of my palace. If anything happens to her, I am afraid I will be blamed..."
Xiao Tianzi was also puzzled: "It shouldn't be the case..."
"Everyone in the palace knows that children are the ones you can rely on. Even if Concubine Chun doesn't like you, she won't joke about her own children..."
Having said that, Wangpin still felt uneasy.
At this point, we can only take one step at a time and see what happens.
finally--
Imperial Physician Qiao ordered people to feed Concubine Chun the medicine, and then carefully felt her pulse, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Zhinian looked at Concubine Chun calmly.
She lay on the bed with her eyes closed. There was a hint of pain on her three-dimensional face, and her lips were an abnormal purple.
Shen Zhinian instantly thought of the snow silkworm molt.
Ever since she discovered it, she has been on guard, but the harem has remained calm.
There are so many trivial matters now that Shen Zhinian almost put the matter of snow silkworm molting aside for the time being, but he didn't expect that something would happen to Concubine Chun.
If she was poisoned, was it related to the snow silkworm molting?
At this time, the emperor asked in a deep voice: "How is the heir in Concubine Chun's belly?"
Doctor Qiao knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun is poisoned..."
"Although I have given her the antidote in time, Concubine Chun is still not completely out of danger. I cannot guarantee whether the heir can be saved... Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Doctor Qiao kowtowed as he spoke.
Nangong Xuanyu's expression changed unpredictably, and he asked coldly: "Why is Concubine Chun poisoned?!"
Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity or inquiry.
At this point, Shen Zhinian was already pretty sure.
Fortunately, she had foresight and had already asked Xiao Zhouzi to quietly place the snow silkworm molt in Shuixi Pavilion.
Otherwise, if something like this happened to Concubine Chun today, and the snow silkworm shells were found in Zhongcui Palace in a blink of an eye, she would not be able to explain it even if she had ten thousand mouths.
Yingxiang knelt on the ground and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, the young lady had a bowl of lotus seed soup in the afternoon, and suddenly she felt abdominal pain, and then vomited blood..."
"Who on earth wants to harm my lady and the heir in her belly? Please, Your Majesty, make the decision!"
All the palace people involved have been taken under control.
Imperial Physician Qiao was busy treating Concubine Chun, and only now did he have time to check the bowl of lotus seed soup.
He placed the silver spoon in it, and took it out after a while, and it had indeed become pitch black.
Seeing this scene, everyone's face changed.
Doctor Qiao examined it carefully again before coming to the conclusion: "Your Majesty, the poison that Concubine Chun was poisoned with is the same as the toxin in this bowl of lotus seed soup!"
Concubine Chun is still of great use to Nangong Xuanyu, so he naturally would not allow her to die like this.
Moreover, Concubine Chun was pregnant. If he did not investigate the matter thoroughly and severely punish the perpetrators, wouldn't everyone be able to murder the heir to the throne if they followed suit?
Nangong Xuanyu said in a deep voice: "Send Su Quanye!"
"Yes!"
The emperor looked at Doctor Qiao and asked coldly, "What kind of poison was poisoned by Concubine Chun?"
Doctor Qiao said truthfully: "Your Majesty, it is a deadly poison called 'Snow Silkworm Exuvia'!"
"The poisoned person will feel a sweet and fishy taste in the throat, a cramped pain in the heart and stomach as if bitten by insects, and finally bleed from all seven orifices and die within a cup of tea!"
"Fortunately, I have read about this poison in medical books. I know that grinding amber collected on the winter solstice into powder and mixing it with the stones in the gallbladder of an ox can detoxify it. This is how I was able to save Lady Chun in time."
"If it had been any later, Concubine Chun and the heir in her belly would have died..."
Hearing this, the concubines' faces changed.
Some of the timid ones were so frightened that they turned pale.
"How could there be such a poison in the Heavenly Palace?!"
"Who on earth wants to kill Concubine Chun?!"
"Fortunately, Imperial Doctor Qiao is a skilled doctor, otherwise Concubine Chun and the heir would be in real danger this time."
