The golden and jade of the peasant girl in charge

Chapter 480 Entering the palace late at night to investigate (2)
Seeing Ning Ci frowned slightly, Jiang Chengye stretched out his hand to support her: "There is a difference between food supplements and medical treatment after all, even if it doesn't work, there is nothing to worry about."

Ning Ci smiled and nodded her head as she understood.

The little eunuch who went to report soon came back, nodded repeatedly and bent over: "The girl has been waiting for a long time, the emperor invites the girl and the son to go to the empress dowager's bedroom."

The empress dowager's bedroom is not far from Jiang Yan's, which is also Jiang Yan's meaning. Their mother and child love each other deeply, and they have lived together in this deep palace compound for so many years. In fact, looking at it this way, Jiang Yan is still a loving person Righteous person.It's just that he is sitting in that high seat, and some things can only be done as a last resort.

Seeing Ning Ci and the others coming, the eunuch at the door immediately went in to report, and Jiang Yan came out soon. When Ning Ci saw him, he was slightly surprised.

For a long time, Jiang Yan has always looked like a handsome gentleman, an emperor who has strategized and won thousands of miles, but like this, his eyes are slightly red, his dragon robe is somewhat wrinkled, and his face is tired, as if he hasn't slept well for several days. It was the first time Ning Ci saw it.

"Here we are." Jiang Yan's voice couldn't hide his exhaustion, Ning Ci and Jiang Chengye looked at each other and greeted him.

"No, come in first." Jiang Yan directly excused them and brought them into the bedroom.

The queen mother seemed to be bedridden, and a weak figure was vaguely outlined in the layers of veils.Kneeling maids and eunuchs beside the couch, none of them dared to vent their breath.There was a faint fragrance in the air, as if something had been knocked over.

It was inconvenient for Jiang Chengye to enter, so Ning Ci was led in.

Across the veil, the woman on the couch had half-black and half-white long hair hanging loose, and there were inevitably a few wrinkles on her well-maintained face. She half-closed her eyes, and she seemed to be working hard, panting slightly.On the ground on one side was the overturned porridge, and the aroma just now seemed to come from here.

Jiang Yan looked at the servant on the ground coldly, and shouted: "Get out!"

The slaves all over the place trembled with fright, kowtowed repeatedly, and rolled out like shit.

Jiang Yan sat on the side of the couch and helped the queen mother up, then turned to Ning Ci and said, "Come and see the queen mother, she hasn't been able to eat all day today, the imperial doctor has also seen it, and she can't tell what it is Symptoms. Only Lord Feng told me...it might be poisoning."

Poisoned?Ning Ci's heart trembled, and her brows frowned.

Jiang Yan's eyes became gloomy and cold: "If you let me know who poisoned you, I will definitely let him die without a place to bury him!"

The queen mother seemed to be in some pain, but when she heard what Jiang Yan said, she still reached out and held him, as if she didn't want him to be so angry.

Ning Ci thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, since it is poisoning, can you let Cheng Ye come in and give the Empress Dowager a pulse? Cheng Ye is also proficient in medical skills and knows more about poisons."

Jiang Yan nodded, motioning for Jiang Chengye to come in.

Ning Ci remembered that when he was in Hejia Village, Jiang Chengye gave her a lot of medicine powder and a bracelet for testing poison. Thanks to these, she solved a lot of troubles. In addition, he has been walking in the rivers and lakes for so many years. Among them, these imperial physicians need to know a lot.

Jiang Chengye took the pulse of the queen mother and came to a conclusion similar to that of Feng Qianwei.

It is poisoning.

But Jiang Chengye added one more sentence: "The abnormal pulse condition is indeed a symptom of poisoning, but the toxicity is not strong, so it should be caused by the accumulation of chronic poison."

Jiang Yan's face became more and more ugly.

If it's a slow poison, it's not a coincidence, it's more likely a long-term plan.

who is it?Who has such a vicious plan?
"Come here! Drag out all the people who are serving the Queen Mother and torture them! In addition, find out all the people the Queen Mother has met in the past few months! I will interrogate them one by one!"

As soon as Jiang Yan said this, an old nanny next to the queen mother gave Jiang Chengye a strange look.Jiang Chengye was very sensitive, and immediately noticed the old mother's gaze, and then, Jiang Yan also noticed.

Under the intimidation of Jiang Yan's eyes, the old mother hurriedly knelt down: "The emperor, the emperor wants to find out who the queen mother has met these days. This old servant remembers... Jiang Shizi's mother, the princess of King Ning, once came to the palace to meet her." Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager was after that...then, she felt a little unwell, until she became bedridden."

Jiang Yan also knew about the concubine's entry into the palace.But at this moment, facing the increasingly unfavorable Queen Mother, Jiang Yan was like a mad lion, he would rather kill a thousand mistakes than miss one.He turned his head coldly: "As I said, I will find out whoever the Queen Mother sees, and I will interrogate them myself!"

Jiang Chengye's eyes sank slightly, and his pretty lips pursed.

Ning Ci couldn't be more clear about his expression, whenever he has such an expression, it must be because he has something in his heart, but he doesn't say it.

"Your Majesty." Ning Ci suddenly made a sound, breaking Jiang Yan's anger, and continued to speak before Jiang Yan could vent his anger: "The top priority should be to make the Queen Mother recover as soon as possible, otherwise even if we find out who poisoned you , No one can really make up for the sufferings that the Queen Mother has suffered."

"No matter who recommended Ning Ci to the emperor, the emperor summoned Ning Ci to enter the palace, because he trusted Ning Ci, and asked the emperor to let Ning Ci take care of the queen mother as soon as possible, so that the queen mother can recover as soon as possible."

As soon as Ning Ci's words fell, Jiang Chengye also opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, my wife's craftsmanship is extraordinary, maybe let her try it, it will really make the Queen Mother regain her appetite. Now that the Queen Mother has been poisoned, if she is weaker, I'm afraid It's going to be worse."

On balance, the Empress Dowager's body is naturally more important.

Jiang Yan finally let go, and agreed to let Ning Ci take a look at the Queen Mother first.

"Your Majesty, please let me go." Ning Ci stood in front of Jiang Yan, very rudely chasing him away.

Jiang Yan was worried about the queen mother's body, so he could only push away a little at the moment.Ning Ci held up her skirt and sat beside the Empress Dowager, looked at her pale and bluish haggard look, and said in a gentle voice, "Empress Dowager, how do you feel right now, is there a taste in your mouth?"

The queen mother frowned and waved her hands: "Sometimes the chest and abdomen are swollen and painful, and sometimes it's better, and the mouth is full of bitterness, and I don't want to eat anything."

Ning Ci raised her eyebrows slightly, and then asked: "When did the Empress Dowager start not wanting to eat?"

The queen mother failed to answer, and the old mother on the side replied instead: "Actually, the queen mother felt a little uncomfortable when she came back from Xiangshan Temple. At first, I thought it was because the queen mother hadn't gotten used to it. It will be fine after a while. But the queen mother occasionally feels pain in her abdomen. , because the symptoms were not obvious, so the imperial physician was not summoned, but three days ago, the queen mother didn't want to eat any more, and now she still vomits after eating."

Ning Ci grasped an important point, and asked: "Since it was three days ago that I didn't want to eat, is there any record of what I ate before? What did you eat every day?"
