Chapter 48 Help Me
I can't eat, and I feel vomiting when I swallow food... Think about it carefully, isn't the Queen Mother's condition now seven or eight percent similar to her in the dream?

Is it really just a disease?
"The princess?"

After the little princess changed her clothes, she sat on the steps in a daze. Li Mingji thought she had fallen asleep again, and whispered.

"me……"

Shu Yao faltered for a while, but couldn't figure out how to organize the words.It can't be said that she had a dream related to the future, in which she found something wrong with the Queen Mother's potted flower, right?

"I want to see my uncle."

"Now is the critical moment. Your Majesty has to accompany the Queen Mother and deal with important matters. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the princess to return to Yanshou Palace now."

Li Mingji naturally knew that Emperor Yong's move was to deliberately dismiss the little princess.The little princess was raised innocently and ignorant of worldly affairs, Emperor Yong dismissed her first, obviously he didn't want her to participate in these forbidden affairs.

In the past, he was also like this, treating the little princess as a delicate bird in a cage, and taking good care of him. It wasn't until the little princess left that he realized that the little princess had never opened up to him.

Therefore, seeing the little Princess bowed her head in frustration, Li Mingji said again: "If the Princess has anything to do, you might as well tell your subordinates, I will convey it to you later."

Shu Yao's eyes lit up, and she felt that Li Mingji in front of her had become a lot more cordial, as expected of her trusted personal bodyguard, who knew how to think of her.

"You said, Zhang Sheng has been pretending for so long, why did he suddenly attack me because of a bowl of medicine? I suspect that there are other unclean things in my grandmother's room, and my grandmother's illness is also related to it. Let your uncle check it out. What's new about grandmother recently?"

The little princess meant that the queen mother's illness was not an accident, but man-made?

Li Mingji narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Shu Yao propped her chin, blinked her eyes, and suddenly said, "You trust this princess so much?"

Uncle always treats her like a child and never takes her thoughts seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have ignored her objection and sent her to the Marquis of Qinyang's mansion.

But she is obviously old enough to be a young lady who can marry, so she is not as good at anything as before.

"The princess is smart," Li Mingji twitched his lips slightly, "The subordinates trust the judge of the princess."

Such a description is much higher than those flashy evaluations.Shu Yao suddenly looked like a cat with its tail up, rubbed her dry eyes, and said with a lot of air, "Of course."

The airy little princess was about to get up when the clothes suddenly fell apart and almost fell off her body. Only then did she remember that she couldn't tie a knot, she just put the pajamas on her body indiscriminately, and loosened them after walking a few steps.

"Li Mingji, come and help me."

The young man Wen claimed it was, lifted up two long laces, and tied them into a beautiful knot with ease. Seeing Shu Yao's suspicious expression, he asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "This is women's clothing. Why are you so proficient?"

Li Mingji, who not only knew how to put it on, but was also very easy to untie it, had a calm and gentle smile: "When Ms. Songzhen and Chunrui served the princess, I watched from the side and learned a lot."

Shu Yao was skeptical, he just took a few glances at it, why did he wear it for so many years, and still didn't know how to tie it?
Shu Yao who had nightmares would always become much clingier than usual, not only asking him to put on clothes, but also reaching out to him: "Hold me back."

The girl's black hair hung wetly behind her. Li Mingji hugged her with one hand, took off the towel with the other hand, and wrapped her wet hair for her.After putting her on the bed, I half-bent down and wiped it carefully bit by bit.

Surrounded by the familiar clear air, Shu Yao fell asleep contentedly in an environment full of security.

The half-dry blue silk ran across the palm of his hand, Li Mingji's eyes were slightly deep, and he raised his slender fingers to gently smooth the girl's wrinkled forehead.

I don't know what was dreaming, the girl frowned and snorted twice, pressed her warm face against his palm, smelled a reassuring breath, turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

Rubbing her face restrainedly with his fingertips, Li Mingji pushed open the door and walked out of Huaxi Palace.

……

In the Longevity Palace, Emperor Yong, who hadn't closed his eyes almost all night, stood up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Empress Dowager's face had finally regained some color.

The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the prescription in his hand, with a strange expression: "It's really strange. This is the prescription prescribed by the imperial hospital. How could it mess up the empress dowager's pulse?"

"Your Majesty's liver and stomach are stagnant and hot, and her liver is burning in her heart. That's why she has reflux symptoms. The imperial hospital uses all the medicines for clearing the heart and nourishing the blood, such as Stir-fried Baizhuo, Chuanhuanglian, and Bupleurum..."

More than a dozen imperial physicians with superb medical skills gathered together and checked the overturned bowl of medicine many times, but no toxin was found.

Since there was no poison, why did the Queen Mother vomit blood?

I am afraid that only Zhang Sheng, who has just been taken to prison, can give the answer.

"Take me to prison."

Emperor Yong issued an order at the front, and someone from the palace summoned him at the back, "Your Majesty, Princess Huaxi's personal guard requests to see you."

That guard named Li Mingji?
Emperor Yong said lightly: "Tell."

After a while, Li Mingji was brought in.The young man obviously came in a hurry, with Yelu's chill on his body, he saluted neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, the Princess is worried about the Empress Dowager's phoenix body, and ordered his subordinates to pass the message."

"Yoyao?" Emperor Yong raised his eyes, "What's wrong with her?"

Li Mingji said: "The Princess guesses that the Empress Dowager's illness is due to man-made. Your Majesty, please take inventory of the Longevity Palace, and pay special attention to the newly added objects."

As soon as the words fell, a female official who served the queen mother timidly said: "Your Majesty, there is really such a thing in the empress's room. It is a potted flower called 'Hanchun', which was just delivered the month before last, and it was placed in the empress's room." bedside……"

Cold spring flowers?
Emperor Yong turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a small pot of blue-purple flowers on the bedside, which was put together with several potted plants.He mused: "Take this cold spring flower away. Recently, the Empress Dowager made a list of her food and clothing, and sent them for inspection, as well as the maids of the dining room and clothing bureau, and ordered people to interrogate them one by one."

The people around got the order and immediately got busy.Emperor Yong's eyes were serious, and he looked down at the young man in front of him.

Such a keen intuition might not be what Shu Yao thought, but Li Mingji secretly reminded him, just like that time in the hunting ground, he reminded himself to be careful of Zhang Sheng.

In the early days of Emperor Yong's ascension to the throne, the remnants of the previous dynasty were still unclear, and there were foreign relatives and eunuchs watching over him.He has been able to sit firmly on the throne for 20 years, not only because of the support of various forces, but also because he is humble and respectful, accepts advice with an open mind, and can calmly treat the people in front of him no matter what their intentions are.

Therefore, Emperor Yong took the initiative to speak: "What else do you want to say to me?"

"The Princess is worried that His Majesty and the Queen Mother will be haunted by nightmares and stay up all night," Li Ming said quietly, "Your Majesty is willing to share your Majesty's worries and interrogate Zhang Sheng on your Majesty's behalf."

After a long silence, Emperor Yong said: "I agree."
