Even though Jiang Nianjiao doesn't go out often these days, she still hears some news about the Chen family's slaves being arrogant.
However, Emperor Yong's attitude towards this was still ambiguous. The more Emperor Yong's attitude was like this, the more dissatisfied his remonstrators became.
The Chen family naturally relaxed their vigilance about this, and almost all of their attention at the moment was on Prince Liang. After all, during this period, although Emperor Yong was still friendly to the Chen family, he also became more and more interested in Prince Liang. Pay attention to.
Even when Emperor Yong was occasionally unwell, he would let Prince Liang take charge of the affairs and supervise the country on his behalf. Moreover, Emperor Yong's love for Concubine Yuxian was unprecedentedly high during this period. After the death of Mrs. Chen, the emperor only gave Concubine Yuxian the power of co-administrator of the harem because the queen was too grieved.
This is by no means good news for the Chen family.
The queen did fall ill after returning from the Chen family, so Jiang Nianjiao walked to the palace more diligently.
Although serving the queen as an unmarried person may seem too flattering and groveling to others, Jiang Nianjiao still went there every day.
The reason why she did this was naturally not just to offer medicine to the Queen.
She just knew that something bad might happen to the Chen family during this period of time, so in order to prevent the Chen family from dragging the Queen into trouble, she came here every day.
Although the Chen family has come a few times, perhaps considering that the queen is still ill, the last few times Mrs. Chen came here were just to visit her.
It was not until recently, when some cases involving the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet began to go against the Chen family, that Mrs. Chen eagerly discovered the fox's tail this time.
Jiang Nianjiao had relaxed her vigilance against Mrs. Chen a few times because of his previous behavior, and Qiu Wan was also with Queen Min.
Qiu Wan was a sensible person, so Jiang Nianjiao rested at home for a day and did not go to take care of Queen Min. .
This matter was also discussed with Queen Min.
Unexpectedly, it was also on this day that Mrs. Chen family went to Fengchen Palace.
The smell of medicine fills the air in Fengchen Palace all day long, because the body is haggard and the spirit is weak. Empress Min simply skipped the usual morning greetings. Now that she finally cheered up, she reluctantly received Mrs. Chen's family.
This time Mrs. Chen's wife only came with a girl with a very eye-catching look.
Empress Min didn't notice it at first, but Qiu Wan suddenly asked Mrs. Chen when she was greeting Empress Min, "Madam, why didn't Cai Yuan come with you today? This girl looks very strange to her. .”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen only chuckled, "Caiyuan's natal mother is sick, so I specially allowed her some leave."
After saying this, the child on the side happened to have boiled the medicine. The child was about to give the medicine to Qiu Wan. Unexpectedly, the woman took the medicine bowl first. Qiu Wan couldn't help but said with some displeasure, "The lady is still here." It’s not this girl’s turn to serve, right?”
Mrs. Chen just smiled and said, "Of course there is no need, but I am not an ordinary girl. You must have heard of Mrs. Qiu, the benevolent and skillful woman, right?"
Hearing this name, Qiu Wan couldn't help but be slightly startled. Is this the lady Qiu who can cure all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases in folklore?
But even so, Qiu Wan was still a little displeased and said, "There are imperial doctors in the palace, and they come to diagnose the empress's pulse every day. We don't need to hire doctors from outside the palace."
Mrs. Chen's wife was not angry when she heard this. She only said softly, "What Miss Qiu Wan said is true. I just saw that the empress was not getting well, so I thought of asking Mrs. Qiu to have a look."
After saying that, Mrs. Chen's wife stopped talking to Qiu Wan. She turned to Queen Min and said, "Mother, I did this out of concern. If your health hadn't been recovering for a long time, I wouldn't have been able to." Inviting people from outside the palace to come here, you must know that this harem is never a quiet place. Don’t you remember the incident when Concubine Yuxian was lingering on the sickbed? "
Her words meant something, and Qiu Wan only said, "I don't need you to worry about this. We have carefully tested the medicine that went into your mouth with a silver needle."
Then she pointed to a green-billed parrot hanging nearby and said, "And we have also tested this medicine with it."
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen also said sarcastically for a moment, "Of course I know that Miss Qiu Wan is thinking carefully and thoughtfully, but Mrs. Qiu is here. Why don't you just let her take a look."
At this time, Mrs. Qiu had also put down the medicine bowl. She had just smelled the medicine slightly, and then she actually told the ingredients of the medicine in the bowl and the amounts of various medicines.
Therefore, even Qiu Wan, who was originally worried about Mrs. Chen's unease and kindness, could not help but be slightly surprised. The medicinal materials reported by Mrs. Qiu were almost exactly the same as those on her own medicine list.
Apart from the imperial doctor who wrote the prescription, the only person who worried about poisoning this kind of medicine list was Qiu Wan, who did everything herself.
Therefore, the possibility of Mrs. Qiu seeing this medicine list is not high.
And this person can say this so accurately just by listening, which shows that he must and is indeed capable.
And as Mrs. Chen said, at first the doctors only said that Queen Min was infected with wind-cold and would be fine after a few days of rest. However, now that she has been bedridden for more than ten days, the wind-cold is not getting better, but seems to be aggravated. If If she hadn't handled it herself and tested the poison repeatedly, Qiu Wan would have almost suspected that someone had poisoned her master.
Therefore, after a short silence, Qiu Wan still gave in to Mrs. Qiu.
Later, with Qiu Wan's concession, Lady Qiu was able to check on Queen Min's condition.
After diagnosing the pulse, Mrs. Qiu only looked at the Allergic Queen's tongue coating and checked her eyes by the way. After finishing this series of things, she just said, "There is no obvious problem with this medicine, but it is poisonous. If some of the medicines are used in the wrong dosage or the wrong medicine is used, the person's condition may be delayed at least, or worse at worst." It can aggravate the condition and cause death.”
Hearing this, Qiu Wan seemed to have her mind opened up. The direction she was considering was indeed never on the medicine list, but on preventing herself from being poisoned.
But if there is a problem with this medicine list from the beginning, then for laymen like them who don't know how to use medicine, they will indeed be completely unable to detect it.
"Ms. Qiu, do you mean there is something wrong with this medicine list?" Even Mrs. Chen asked in surprise when she heard this.
Mrs. Qiu nodded slowly, "It's too risky to prescribe this medicine. Lingqiu and centipede are poisons that are incompatible with each other. If one of these two medicines is slightly overdosed, it can cause death. Three centipedes, If Lingqiu Erliang is a healthy person, it won't be a big problem."
"But I just made a diagnosis for the Queen, and I found that her constitution is too weak to be replenished. Therefore, if the doctor continues to prescribe medicine like this, it will be a big problem. If the Queen continues to do this, let alone As his condition becomes more serious, he may not even be able to save his life."
Hearing this, Queen Min's face turned pale, and her eyes, which had been dim due to long-term illness, became even darker after hearing Madam Qiu's words. Qiu Wan whispered, "How could this be? These people can't. It’s really too much to bully people, so I will go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to argue with them.”
But before she could get up, Queen Min suddenly grabbed Qiu Wan's arm. She whispered, "Wan'er, don't be impulsive. Let's not go there."
Qiu Wan said angrily, "Mother, if we don't go there now, are we just going to let them do whatever they want?"
Empress Min was dying and said, "So what if you go? Didn't Madam Qiu tell you everything? There is nothing wrong with the medicine itself, it is a problem with my own constitution. I think that person may just use a different plan. We are really in trouble." Wouldn’t that person suffer an unreasonable disaster?”
Hearing this, Qiu Wan only said, "Why is the plan different? He is using such a dangerous method. He is simply risking your life."
Mrs. Chen also took the opportunity to say, "Miss Qiu Wan is right. The affairs in this palace are complicated. I don't know who has bad intentions. Do you think this imperial doctor is from Concubine Yuxian? After all, she is Duan Tianli finally got the right to co-manage the harem, so he definitely doesn't want your best. Moreover, the judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau is the father of Prince Liang's concubine, so she has the means to do this if she wants to."
When Empress Xiangmin heard this, she just shook her head firmly, "It can't be her."
"She knows people but not their hearts. Who knows if she has such a plan? Moreover, after being a daughter-in-law for many years and becoming a mother-in-law, she has finally won the right to be an associate. She is now in great glory. If you recover from your illness, how can she still be in such glory? no?"
"Besides, the empress has probably been on the sick bed these days, so she is not very sensitive to the news of the previous dynasty. You don't know that during this period, King Liang began to monitor the country, and the court made the voice of King Liang the crown prince.
more and more. If this continues, even if our Highness the King of Jin performs extraordinary feats and returns to the imperial court, he may not be able to turn things around. "
After hearing Mrs. Chen's words, Queen Min frowned even more. Mrs. Chen thought that her persuasion was effective, but Empress Min said, "Wenqin, I seem a little tired. Let's discuss these things another day. You can go back today."
After hearing Queen Min's eviction order, Mrs. Chen knew that she was afraid that she would return without success today.
The hard work she had been planning for several days was all in vain, and she was naturally very dissatisfied with this. But at the moment, she still had people to ask for, and it was naturally not easy to break up with Queen Min at this time.
Therefore, she just said something to ask Queen Min to recover well and prepared to leave. However, before leaving, she still left Lady Qiu with Queen Min.
Normally, Qiu Wan would probably have to suspect that Mrs. Chen had no good intentions and was unwilling to accept her arrangements.
But now the imperial doctor in the palace is unreliable, and it is difficult for them to find a doctor from outside the palace. Therefore, Qiu Wan and Queen Min only accepted her with ambiguous attitudes.
After that, Mrs. Qiu began to diagnose Queen Min's pulse and re-prescribe the medicine.
After filling out the prescription, she just wrote a letter and handed it to Qiu Wan.
Qiu Wan didn't understand what the other party meant at first, but it wasn't until she saw the contents of the letter that she suddenly realized it.
