Lu Qingtang ignored Concubine Ning and carefully observed the queen's face.
Seeing that her lips were turning black, and based on her pulse, Lu Qingtang preliminarily concluded that the Queen had been poisoned.
As for what kind of poison it is, further tests will be needed to find out.
At this time, the imperial doctor arrived, and the palace guards also came forward with a knife and put the knife on Lu Qingtang's neck.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Gao immediately shouted: "What are you doing? Let go of Princess Chen!"
"Princess Chen's medicine caused the Queen to faint. What are you asking for? Could it be that you and Lu Qingtang killed the Queen together!" Concubine Ning looked at Aunt Gao with stern eyes.
Aunt Gao was frightened by Concubine Ning's words and didn't know what to say at all.
She naturally believed in Lu Qingtang and her medical skills, but she was a soft-spoken woman and could not compete with the powerful Concubine Ning.
At this time, the imperial doctor stepped forward to check the queen's pulse and diagnosed that she was indeed poisoned and could lose her life at any time.
But they couldn't tell what kind of poison it was, so they could only worry.
Seeing that the Queen was in danger, Concubine Ning couldn't help but sneered, raised her hand and asked the guards to escort Lu Qingtang down, waiting for His Majesty to surrender.
At this time, Emperor Kang Yuan arrived. Seeing the opportunity, Lu Qingtang immediately recommended himself.
"Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law can cure the Queen's poison. Please give her a chance." Lu Qingtang had a knife on his neck and did not dare to move.
Emperor Kang Yuan was very confused when he saw this, and immediately ordered the guards to let Lu Qingtang go.
Concubine Ning immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you must not let her go. The Queen was poisoned because she took Lu Qingtang's medicine. You must not let her go!"
Lu Qingtang gritted his teeth and was about to explain when he heard a familiar figure coming from the crowd.
"What a righteous act of killing one's relatives! May I ask, my dear concubine, what good will it do to you if Princess Chen kills the queen?"
When everyone turned around, they saw Concubine Shu arriving with the support of palace people.
She stepped forward and nodded slightly to Lu Qingtang, who suddenly felt relieved.
"Your Majesty, since Princess Chen has promised you, please give her a chance. You have also seen Princess Chen's medical skills. I can vouch for her." Concubine Shu said and bowed to Emperor Kang Yuan.
Emperor Kang Yuan thought for a moment and then nodded.
Concubine Ning was still determined, but Lu Qingtang didn't give her a chance to speak.
The most important thing right now is to detoxify the Queen, but I don’t know what kind of poison it is, so I can’t come up with the antidote right away.
"Aunt Gao, the Queen is poisoned. Please find someone to move the Queen into the palace. I will conduct further diagnosis and treatment to know what the poison is."
Aunt Gao trusted Lu Qingtang, so she immediately made arrangements and quickly moved the Queen to Chongning Palace.
The Tsinghua Gate Qiqiao Festival was still going on. The Queen was poisoned and was only said to have fainted. Except for everyone present, no one else knew the details.
Lu Qingtang first fed the queen a pill of heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine. No matter what the poison was, at least it would make the queen feel better.
She then asked Aunt Gao about the queen's diet, and learned that except for the Suxiao Jiuxin Pill, the other queens had not eaten, so she ruled out oral poisoning.
Lu Qingtang checked his hands and feet, and there were no wounds at all.
Then, it's on your body.
With the help of Aunt Gao, Lu Qingtang took off the queen's clothes, and sure enough, she found a high bulge on her back with a small black dot on it, and a dead spider fell out.
"Redback spider!" Lu Qingtang recognized it at a glance.
This kind of spider is highly venomous. How could it appear in the palace?
Recalling the Queen's behavior of scratching her back, she must have been bitten by a spider at that time.
But she is an orthopedic surgeon and really doesn’t know much about poisoning.
Fortunately, she was bored in the palace these days, so she passed the time by reading medical books. She happened to see a detoxification method, which she could use today.
Seeing that Lu Qingtang's face looked ugly, Aunt Gao hurriedly asked: "What? Is this poisonous?"
"It's not poison, it's highly toxic." Lu Qingtang's face was solemn, "But don't worry, I'm sure I can save the empress, but I need Aunt Gao to guard the door for me, and I'll need some time to prepare the medicine."
After hearing this, Grandma Gao raised her hand to wipe her tears, then called all the palace guests out and closed the door.
At this moment, Lu Qingtang and the Queen were the only ones left in the room, and even Su Mu was kicked out.
Although the empress felt better after taking the antidote, she was still poisoned and her body could not help but twitch.
time does not wait!
Lu Qingtang quickly released the space in the bracelet and began to prepare the medicine based on the pharmacology he had learned and what he had seen in the medical field a few days ago.
Finally, half an hour later, Lu Qingtang prepared the antidote for the redback spider.
In order to prevent the antidote from harming the Queen's body, she took out a little of the Queen's blood and put it in a glass dish for neutralization.
When she saw that the Queen's platelets were gradually recovering, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally succeeded!
Lu Qingtang fed the experimental medicine to the empress. Half an hour later, the empress opened her eyes.
"My concubine, you finally woke up." Aunt Gao was lying beside the bed, crying until her eyes were swollen. "Thanks to Concubine Chen's wonderful doctors, I saved you. My concubine, you scared this slave!"
Seeing that the queen was awake, Lu Qingtang felt relieved. She said goodbye to Aunt Gao and followed Su Mu back to Longqing Palace.
It was already dark when we walked out of Chongning Palace. The master and servant were walking on the path in the palace, and they couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
At this time, a black shadow flashed in front of him.
Lu Qingtang thought he had seen it wrong and stood there in shock.
"There seems to be..." Su Mu couldn't help but speak with a trembling voice, "Could it be a ghost?"
Su Mu also heard it, which made Lu Qingtang's scalp numb.
It turns out there really is a dark shadow.
"Meow~"
Lu Qingtang: "..."
Damn cat!
It frightened them.
Patting their chests, the master and servant continued to move forward.
This palace is really big. If you had to walk around it with two legs, it would take you three days to complete the tour.
This ancient background is already desolate, and it feels even more terrifying when seen at night. Coupled with the black shadow, people can't help but think of ghosts.
Just as they were walking across the river in the Royal Garden, another black shadow suddenly flashed in front of them.
Before the two of them could react, the black shadow raised his hand and gave Su Mu a sap.
When Lu Qingtang saw this, he started fighting with the black shadow, but the black shadow attacked fiercely. Lu Qingtang couldn't resist it while protecting his stomach, so he retreated to the river in a few steps.
Lu Qingtang subconsciously prevented himself from falling into the river and dodged away. The man in black took the opportunity to kick Lu Qingtang in the abdomen. In order to avoid the kick, Lu Qingtang jumped into the river to protect himself.
