concubines are respected

Chapter 72
In our house, in Concubine Yuan's bedroom, the old matriarch and the old lady sat on the side of the fairy with heavy faces, and on the side couch at the side of the bedroom, Xueying had changed into dry clothes, but she was still unconscious, the old lady Jun Ji sent Yun Rong to quickly invite Dr. Yin, who has been treating Lin's family for many years, to come secretly for diagnosis and treatment.

It was almost early morning at this time, but the two old people did not feel sleepy. Although it was only a maidservant who drowned, the incident happened when Concubine Yuan was returning to her natal home, and there were rumors that someone was plotting against her. If this matter spreads to the palace and the emperor blames it, even if Concubine Yuan comes forward, it will cause unnecessary incidents.

Concubine Yuan was not in the joyful mood she had just now in the main hall.I thought I could temporarily leave the imperial city, which was full of secret wars and plots, and return to my mother's house to relax under my mother's knees for a while, but unexpectedly, the demons and ghosts followed like a shadow, even leaving the palace walls would not make people feel at ease.

"Old Madam, Dr. Yin is here." Yun Rong pushed open the room, replied to the old matriarch, then turned sideways, and respectfully stretched out her arms to the man who was carrying the medicine box on his shoulders and looked in a hurry, signaling him enter.

Doctor Yin stepped into the room and was about to salute Concubine Yuan, but was stopped by the eager Concubine Yuan, "Don't be too polite, doctor, just take a look for Xueying, there may be help."

"Yes." Doctor Yin didn't dare to delay, immediately put down the medicine box, walked to the side couch, rolled up his wide cuffs, and first touched Xueying's tightly closed eyelids, seeing that her eyes were bloodshot, Doctor Yin's face was pale Immediately changed slightly, she quickly sat on the moon bench beside the side couch, pinched Xueying's pulse gate, and took the pulse calmly.

After a while, Doctor Yin withdrew his hand, but did not reply to Concubine Yuan. Instead, he turned around and opened the medicine box, took out a long dark blue box half finger thick, opened the lid, and inside the lid were several slender silver The needles are neatly juxtaposed.

"Ms. Xueying's coma is not due to drowning. The grassroots dare not make a judgment for the time being. The only way to make a conclusion is to give her an injection first to wake her up. I hope your mother will agree." Doctor Yin held a silver needle in his hand, and said to her. Concubine Yuan said.

"Don't hesitate to give acupuncture, as long as it can save Xueying's life." Concubine Yuan was worried about Xueying's safety, so she quickly agreed.

Xueying is the only person around her who can tell the truth. She has been subjected to all kinds of schemes by the queen and concubines in the palace these years. If Xueying hadn't helped her out of her troubles, Concubine Yuan might not be able to survive.Now someone is stretching out his claws to Xueying, no doubt intending to break her arm, why doesn't she startled?

Concubine Yuan said, Dr. Yin held a silver needle and saluted slowly among Xueying's people, then took out the silver needle and injected it into the Hegu point on the back of her hand respectively, and after about half a cup of tea, Xueying Breathing became heavier, a short cough, and finally opened his closed eyes.

Seeing this, Doctor Yin immediately withdrew the needle, and took out an emerald green vial from the medicine box. The vial contained green liquid medicine, poured out a little and carefully applied it between Xueying's lips and nose.Xueying took a deep breath and finally woke up completely.

After waking up, Xueying took a closer look at the situation in the room, and said with a blank face, "What's going on here?" Then she sat up straight with great effort, intending to turn over and lay down to salute Concubine Yuan, but unexpectedly I couldn't use my legs, and as soon as I landed, my body slid limply against the side couch.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Yun Rong quickly stepped forward and put Xueying under the armpit, helped her back to the side couch, and said with concern, "Auntie, be careful, you just woke up, you'd better take a rest."

Concubine Yuan saw that Xueying was fine, her heart hung in her throat, and finally fell back into her stomach, "Xueying, how do you feel, what happened today, why did you fall into the water for no reason? But someone hurt you As for you, just tell me, I will make the decision for you."

"Ah? Mistress, did Xueying fall into the water? Someone is going to kill Xueying? What happened, Xueying doesn't remember. Xueying only remembers seeing the palace lanterns shining brightly in the garden. She got excited and stayed in the garden for a while After a while, the rest will be unknown..." Xueying was completely dumbfounded, her expression obviously didn't know anything about falling into the water and almost drowning.

"Doctor Yin, this..." Xueying couldn't remember how she came to the pond, let alone how she drowned.

"May I ask Miss Xueying, when you were admiring the lanterns in the garden, what kind of peculiar smell did you smell?" Doctor Yin seemed to have gotten a bit preoccupied, and asked seriously.

"Odd smell..." Xueying searched her memory, whispering in a low voice, "I never had any strange smell... Oh, by the way, I remember smelling a very strong fragrance. Thinking to myself, what is the fragrance that is so alluring, even more alluring than the incense in the palace."

Doctor Yin didn't express his position when he heard the words, but changed the subject and continued to ask, "Miss Xueying is a little thirsty?"

Xueying smiled awkwardly, "Don't tell me, doctor, I'm really thirsty..."

Yun Rong heard the words, and immediately presented the cup considerately, Xueying was also polite, took the cup and drank a while, and the bottom of the cup was empty immediately.

"It's true, it's true!" Seeing this, Doctor Yin looked extremely serious, stepped back a few steps, clasped his fists and gave Concubine Yuan a deep bow, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to your mother, Cao Min concluded that the reason why Miss Xueying lost her mind , and drowned in water, must have been poisoned by a kind of poison called water magic. This drug is extremely fierce. Those who have been poisoned by this drug will be addicted to water. Completely lost their nature. Moreover, those addicted to this drug are extremely aggressive. Once someone approaches, they will definitely be attacked by it. It is rare for folks to appear, so please forgive the nonsense of grassroots people, many years ago, I heard that in the palace..."

At this point, Doctor Yin suddenly fell silent, as if he had many concerns, and stopped speaking.

At this time, Concubine Yuan's face was covered with a thick haze, and a cold light appeared in her phoenix eyes, she said through gnashing of teeth, "Doctor Yin, you are right, many years ago, there did appear in the palace a monster called Water Magic." Toxic. It’s just unexpected that after so many years, someone will use this poison to harm others, hmph! It seems that this time the target is directed at me!”

"Ah! Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine, in this way, there must be someone with a different heart among the palace people who accompanied you this time!" The old lady who hadn't spoken for a long time, although she didn't understand what water illusion was, she listened to Dr. Yin's words. After hearing this, seeing Concubine Yuan's complexion changed drastically, she suddenly felt that this matter was not simple.

"Auntie's words are reasonable, but this time when I leave the palace, the people I bring with me are all carefully selected, and they have served me for many years. If there is someone who has a different heart, only Eunuch Hai is the only one. Concubine Yuan thought deeply, then turned to Xueying and asked, "Xueying, do you still remember where Eunuch Hai was when you were walking around in the garden?"

Xueying tilted her head, thought carefully, and said with certainty, "Eunuch Hai didn't come out in the side hall at that time. The gang of little eunuchs he brought were flattering him one by one, and they didn't come out in front of him. Show up in the garden..."

"In this way, the person who poisoned him was not Eunuch Hai, so... then who could it be?" The matter was mired in fog, making it more and more unpredictable.

Although Xueying woke up not long ago, she quickly cleared her mind, sat up straight and said to Concubine Yuan, "Madam, I think the most important thing right now is not to find out who poisoned the slave. It is to cover up the matter, and must not reveal it to the outside world."

"Ah, why is that, Xueying, you almost lost your life, how can I just let it go hastily." Yuan Guifei said angrily.

"Your Majesty, think about it, this medicine came from the palace, but this person did not do it in the palace, but did it while you were leaving the palace and returning to your mother's house. His intentions are self-evident. First of all, if he succeeds , which can damage the lives of slaves. Secondly, this matter happened in the Lin Mansion. If the emperor pursues it, the Lin Mansion will not be able to get rid of it.

Your Majesty, you and the Lin Mansion are both prosperous, and both are harmed by each other. On the surface, the other party is dealing with the servants, but secretly, the arrow is aimed at the Empress and the Lin Mansion behind you.When there was a water illusion in the palace that harmed people, the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the six palaces, and decreed that if the poison was discovered in any palace, he would be punished severely.Now after many years, the water fantasy drug appeared in your mother's house, your mother, no matter whether the victim is your mother's person or not, you, my mother, cannot explain it to the emperor.Therefore, the people behind the scenes must have the idea of ​​killing two birds with one stone.Empress, you must keep your temper, and don't fall into the evil tricks of the villain! "

Xueying was really thoughtful, and in a few words, she analyzed the pros and cons of the whole incident clearly and logically.

Concubine Yuan nodded her head in agreement, while the old matriarch and old lady beside her broke out in a cold sweat.

"In your opinion, what should be done now?" Concubine Yuan asked Xueying in a deep voice.

At this time, Xueying's physical strength had recovered to the eighth level. With Yun Rong's support, she raised her hand and took a step forward in her couch shoes. Ask the empress to give an explanation so that I can go back to the palace and explain to the empress. We don't care whether this matter is related to the empress or not. Right now, we only need to declare to the public that it is a servant girl who wandered after drinking and accidentally fell into the pond and drowned. As for what someone harmed, even the theory of water magic, you can't mention a word. In this way, the person who is evil in the dark will be like punching cotton, with nowhere to exert force."

"It's really a way to deceive people." Concubine Yuan nodded, and then said to Xueying with a little guilt, "But you will wrong Xueying by doing so."

"Slaves are not wronged. When you return to the palace in the future, the empress can send the third prince to investigate the matter secretly, and sort out the people who attended the banquet today, whether they come from the palace or not. When you get the answer, your empress must not be impatient." Xueying looked calm, her eyes shining with wisdom.

"Okay, let's do it this way." Concubine Yuan Gui finally made up her mind, raised her head and said to Doctor Yin, "Doctor, there are no outsiders at this time. Mother called you to come to see a doctor late at night. I think you are also someone my mother can trust. Just now You can hear Ying's words clearly. Xueying is in a coma, she just slipped into the water and drowned after drinking, it has nothing to do with any water illusion or poison, do you understand?"

Doctor Yin is so shrewd, he immediately bowed down and said respectfully, "The grass people understand. After the grass people went back, they sent someone to deliver medicinal materials overnight to soothe the nerves and give them to Miss Xueying. Madam, please rest assured."
