Chapter 28 The Prince
Henry Zhang's eldest son, Xiao Mingcheng, was established as the crown prince logically. Although he had just turned six years old, in order to consolidate Henry Zhang's throne, it didn't matter that his biological mother was not the queen, but was born to Concubine Qian Gui.

Then again, back to Mu Kangcheng, he was anxious to establish a good relationship with Mr. Shen Ge, and he just hoped that he could save his life in front of the Holy One whenever necessary.

Why does a good imperial doctor feel that his life is in danger, because the emperor ordered him not only to cure the prince's illness, but also to find out who was the murderer who poisoned the prince.

The matter had to be traced back to the day when Mu Kangcheng was suddenly called into the palace.

Mu Kangcheng got the secret decree and was ordered to enter the palace. When he was taken to the East Palace by the servants, he found that the Holy One, the Empress and Concubine Qian were all present, and the prince was lying on the couch with a pale face.

"I want you to find out who is so vicious and wants my son's life!" Seeing the conspiracy in the palace, the Holy Majesty couldn't help his voice trembling, watching his son's life signs disappearing from his hands little by little. , No matter how cold the heart is, it can be awakened.

Concubine Qian Gui wept and collapsed in front of the prince's couch. Her own son's life or death was uncertain. She had no one to blame, and she could only cry in front of the Holy One.

"Such a major incident in the harem is due to the ineffectiveness of the ministers and concubines. If the crown prince has made a mistake, the ministers and concubines should be removed from the lower position, and the emperor punishes the crime."

It was not someone else who said this, but the graceful and luxurious queen, who only gave birth to a daughter Xiao Mingyuan for the Holy One.

Before finding out who was behind the scenes, the queen blamed herself first for the sake of protecting herself. In the eyes of outsiders, she was actually the most suspicious.How can a queen who has only daughters but no sons secure her post?The first son was born to a noble concubine, and if there is no accident in the future, the crown prince will definitely inherit the throne. The harem is full of undercurrents. It is still too early to decide who will have the last laugh.

Because the prince is only six years old after all, if you want to bring up the prince safely, is it easy?

The queen was actually very careful, even though the prince sent special staff to take care of her, she did not dare to take it lightly, for fear of a mistake.

But no matter how careful you are, you can't stop the curiosity of a six-year-old child.The little eunuch randomly placed a piece of chestnut cake on the table, and the little prince ate a piece of it when the eunuch in charge walked away.

It was this small sip that made the prince faint and foam at the mouth.

When Mu Kangcheng arrived, he hurriedly prescribed the emetic powder, causing all the ingested powder to be vomited out.Probably the treatment was not timely enough, Mu Kangcheng truthfully told the Holy Majesty that the toxin still remained in the prince's body and had not been completely discharged.

The East Palace is very small, so it is easy to find the little eunuch who puts chestnut cakes.Immediately, he was arrested and sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. No matter how severe the torture, he couldn't find out who was the one who ordered him to kill him.The little eunuch probably didn't know what was going on at all, but it was just a common practice to send a snack to the East Palace, and he gave an account of the rest of his life.

"Queen, don't say such things. There are villains behind this matter. When Physician Mu finds out what the poison is, he will definitely be able to track down the villains behind the scenes."

Based on His Majesty's understanding of the Empress, I believe she would not do such a thing. It is unlikely that someone will use this matter to confuse the water, in order to achieve ulterior motives.

Mu Kangcheng felt tremendous pressure. The Ministry of Criminal Justice couldn't find out who was behind the scenes from the eunuch's mouth. He was the envoy of the Wupin Imperial Hospital, so how could he find out the perpetrators behind the scenes from the complicated relationship in the harem?It must be too much to think highly of him.If you can't give the Holy One an answer, don't you want to come and see him?

"Reporting to the emperor and the queen, I will do my best to cure the prince and find out who is behind the poison." Mu Kangcheng is like signing a life and death certificate, after all, he must complete the mission.

The queen also put aside the words about asking for punishment just now, and replaced the original slaves in the East Palace, and sent more people she trusted to take care of the prince herself day and night.

The most depressing thing right now is Concubine Qian, her son is bedridden with illness, and as her own mother, she cannot take care of her in front of her. If there is any news, she has to wait for the queen to send someone to notify her. Every time, she waits for the news that the prince has a fever and calls for mother. Concubine Qian would shed tears every time she heard it, but she could do nothing. She prayed to the Holy One to take care of her personally, but was rejected by the Holy One.

Several times, Concubine Qian stopped Mu Kangcheng on his way out of the palace, and quietly asked if he had found the person who poisoned him.

"Imperial concubine, before a conclusion can be drawn, I have been ordered by the sage to investigate this matter closely. Please forgive me, I cannot tell you."

Mu Kangcheng's dull reaction made Concubine Qian even more furious, and her tone became unkind.

"The Mu family has been doctors for generations, and now Imperial Physician Mu has even taken the position of envoy of the imperial hospital. It can be said to be a glorious lintel. He has worked harder for the Holy One, but the crown prince is my own flesh and blood after ten months of pregnancy. Imperial Physician Mu can understand that A mother's anxiety, right? Tell me, why is it that some people can't see the health of the crown prince and want to harm him?"

After crying, Concubine Qian said something that stunned Mu Kangcheng.

"Concubine Yuan Gui's infant son, is he safe and sound?"

Mu Kangcheng couldn't believe that Concubine Qian Gui would say such a thing, was he implying that this matter was done by Concubine Yuan Gui?Concubine Yuan Gui had just given birth to the Holy Majesty's youngest son less than half a year ago, so she wouldn't be so impatient to make a move, would she?
But can Mu Kangcheng be sure who did it?I'm afraid it won't be his turn to draw conclusions in the end.Someone is bound to take this opportunity to overthrow one side.

"My lady has a kind heart, I believe God will sympathize with my mother's good intentions." Mu Kangcheng could only stop talking, and after thanking Concubine Qian, he hurried out of the palace.

And Mu Kangcheng didn't expect that, it is said that Concubine Qian Gui later sent someone to testify against an old nanny in Concubine Yuan Gui's palace. The dim sum has been tampered with.The Holy Majesty got angry and sent the old nanny off, but Nian didn't take any action against her because Concubine Yuan Gui had just given birth to a dragon son.This is another story. What is the truth? How was that old nanny so easily identified?Moreover, the witnesses and physical evidence are so intact that it has to be doubted.

However, the Holy Majesty has made a final decision, and no one dares to raise any objections.The matter of the harem is the matter of the Holy Majesty's own house, if the master doesn't pursue it, then this matter is over.

Although Xiao Yi, the Seventh Prince in Mu's Mansion, could not feel the turbulent undercurrent in the palace, he still grasped the ins and outs of the matter. He was far away from the court, but he could not ignore every move of the court and harem.

"Hurry up, send a letter to Hou Bei, let him deal with the matter over there, and come back quickly." Xiao Yi put a special mark on the letter and handed it to Hou An.

For some reason, Xiao Yi felt a little uneasy in his heart, and faintly felt that the prince's affairs were not over this time, and this was probably the beginning.

In Shen Ge's old mansion, Mu Yueyin was taking Xia He to consult Mrs. Shen.

Ever since Mu Kangcheng knew that Mu Yueyin was a little proficient in medicine, he promised her to go to Shen's residence to treat Mrs. Shen, and explained the truth to Elder Shen Ge again.

Shen Ge was always smiling, whether it was Mu Yueyin or Xia He who knew medical skills, it made no difference to him, as long as he could cure his wife's illness, even if Mu Kangcheng was his enemy, he could shake hands and make peace.

This is the third time Mu Yueyin has come to prescribe medicine for Mrs. Shen, but this time there is not only Mrs. Shen in the inner room, but also an official wife that she has never seen before.

"Yueyin, this is Mrs. Qian, come and see me soon." Mrs. Shen who regained her energy took Mu Yueyin's hand and pulled her to this lady, wanting her to take a good look.

Mu Yueyin was very surprised, it seemed that Mrs. Shen had a very close relationship with this very luxurious Mrs. Qian.Mu Yueyin showed the shy smile that a 13-year-old girl should have, and said hello to Madam Qian softly.

"Look, I'm right. Yueyin is a sensible and well-behaved girl. If it weren't for her, I would have been hopeless in this life."

Madam Shen didn't seem to mind saying this in front of Madam Qian at all, and directly said that it was Mu Yueyin who cured her illness.

"Mrs. Shen, you are being polite. In fact, if it weren't for your good foundation, you wouldn't recover so quickly. It all depends on your confidence in your body and your mental state, and the illness will disappear." Mu Yueyin replied humbly , I didn't want to expose my medical skills, but seeing that Mrs. Qian kept showing a gentle smile, she didn't dare to stop Mrs. Shen.

"This girl is really good at talking, but she's so young and good at medical skills? Sister, you would lie to me, I don't believe it." Madam Qian was not forgiving, and she seemed to be completely disrespectful to Madam Shen.

"You really want to piss me off! Look at me now, how can I lie to you? Then what good is it for me!" Mrs. Shen glanced at Mrs. Qian complainingly, her tone was full of teasing, and then turned to Mu Yueyin Said: "Yueyin, let me show you a joke. My younger sister doesn't have the same surname as me, but I am better than a real sister. I don't know how her prime minister has endured her all these years."

At this point, Mu Yueyin immediately realized how sacred this Madam Qian was.

Among the four cabinet ministers at that time, apart from Mr. Shen Ge, there was also a prime minister surnamed Qian, named Qian Hongli.Concubine Qian Gui is the eldest daughter of the prime minister, and this Mrs. Qian in front of her is Qian Hongli's first wife.

"Ma'am, you're joking. If it didn't happen to me, I wouldn't believe that a little girl can practice medicine."

Mu Yueyin's words made the two ladies laugh heartily.

"It's really interesting. If my sister knows such an interesting little girl, she should have let me come to the house earlier. It's much more interesting than those stupid sticks in my family."

Madam Qian asked Mu Yueyin to sit beside her, and asked her carefully about Madam Shen's condition.Knowing that after taking the next two courses of treatment, Mrs. Shen's agglomeration will be cleared up.

After being treated by Mu Yueyin, Mrs. Shen's expression was quite different.Madam Qian took all these into consideration, and silently gave Madam Shen a look, hoping that she could help.

"You really, let me tell you, just don't make Yueyin feel troublesome." Mrs. Shen scolded, and shifted the topic to Mu Yueyin again.

Mu Yueyin was very puzzled, why would the prime minister's wife have something to do with her?Seeing the two ladies shun the servants mysteriously, only the three of them were left in the inner room to talk.

"Actually, I'm sorry. The Prime Minister knew that I was not feeling well, so he invited an imperial doctor for me, but after taking those medicines, I didn't feel better at all. On the contrary, sometimes I became more irritable and prone to sweating. I don't know if Miss Mu has any good recipes?"

Only after Madam Qian's explanation did people understand that she had a disease of her own, and after hearing about Madam Shen's affairs, she also took the opportunity to come to seek medical treatment.Otherwise, as the wife of the prime minister, it is not easy to invite Mu Yueyin to the prime minister's mansion to see her.

Mu Yueyin looked at Madam Qian carefully, and then asked cautiously: "Does Madam Qian suffer from insomnia and sweating frequently, her face flushes, and she doesn't drink Guishui anymore?"

"How do you know? You are right in what you said." Madam Qian didn't care about being shy, her face was flushed with surprise, and she told when and where these symptoms would appear without any deception.
