Doctor Wang looked at the wine cup in shock, his tone changed slightly, "This... what is this?"
The Queen Mother's wrist was cut, and a green bug emerged from the wound.
The moment it fell into the wine cup, it made a hissing sound and rolled violently.
After a few breaths, it floated motionless in the wine cup.
Su Ruoxi quickly bandaged the Queen Mother's wound and gave her a dose of cefixime.
Simply spit out two words: "Gu insect."
Doctor Wang's eyes widened, his hand shook, and he almost dropped the wine cup.
His face was full of shock, and he swallowed in horror, "It... it's a Gu worm? Gu worms really exist?"
He had seen descriptions of voodoo insects in some medical books.
Gu insect is a kind of insect that can control people without knowing it and can also kill people without being aware of it.
The point is that it looks all kinds of weird and hard to guard against.
But he has never seen one in all his years of practicing medicine.
He thought that this thing only existed in legends.
Su Ruotang nodded and raised her delicate chin towards the wine cup in his hand, "This kind of Gu specializes in sucking human blood."
"After entering the human body for three days, it can absorb the person's essence and blood and cause death."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother's face changed slightly.
There are more silver strands in the hair, and the face seems to have aged ten years instantly.
Doctor Wang was shocked: "This is..."
Su Ruotang sighed: "Human essence and blood maintain youth and health. The Queen Mother's essence and blood are sucked, and she will naturally age."
"I'll prescribe a prescription, take it for three days first, and then adjust it slowly."
Doctor Wang murmured: "Essence and blood..."
He instantly understood: "Some people age prematurely because their bodies lack essence and blood."
"And some people are very old, but they are in good spirits and their faces don't look old. It's because they have enough energy and blood in their bodies."
Su Ruotang glanced at him appreciatively, walked aside and picked up a pen and paper to write the prescription, "Yes, blood essence can also determine the length of a person's lifespan."
Doctor Wang nodded thoughtfully.
Some ladies who like scented tea do look younger.
He didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes lit up, "Third Princess, can the scented tea sold in your Xinglin Pharmacy replenish a person's essence and blood?"
Su Ruotang put down the brush and corrected it slowly, "It's not to replenish essence and blood, it's to replenish qi and blood."
"Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes replenishing qi and replenishing blood. Although qi and blood are not essence and blood, essence and blood are connected with qi and blood. If qi and blood are sufficient, essence and blood will naturally be sufficient, and vice versa."
Doctor Wang chuckled and rubbed his hands, "The third prince's concubine has always looked bad and gets tired easily. I have also prescribed prescriptions for her, but they are not very effective. I don't know..."
"No problem, I will go to Xinglin Pharmacy tomorrow for a consultation. Just bring her here."
"Thank you, Third Princess."
Outer hall.
Emperor Wu Shun and others saw Su Ruotang coming out and all looked at her.
Su Ruotang bowed to Emperor Wu Shun and Liu Wanyue, lowered his eyes and said calmly: "The Queen Mother is bewitched."
"My wife has forced the poison out, but the Queen Mother is injured and needs to be nursed back to health."
Liang Fei has been massaging Emperor Wu Shun.
When she heard Su Ruotang's words, her pupils narrowed slightly and panic flashed across her face.
Su Ruotang kept staring at Liang Fei from the corner of his eyes.
Naturally, he also noticed the panic on her face.
Emperor Wu Shun's face suddenly darkened: "Gao Hai, thoroughly investigate the people who have been to Cining Palace in recent days."
"Yes." Eunuch Gao responded respectfully and backed away gently.
Liang Fei heard that Emperor Wu Shun asked Gao Hai to investigate, instead of asking the secret guard leader to investigate.
The corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
If the leader of the secret guard takes action, she still needs to worry.
Gao Hai is just the chief eunuch, there is no way to find out.
The fleeting pride in her eyes did not escape Mo Ronyan's eyes.
The man with eyebrows as pale as green mountains leaned lazily on the back of his chair, holding the little jade cat and playing with it with his cold white jade fingertips.
The light purple jade carving makes the man's fingers become thinner and whiter.
He lowered his eyelashes to cover the darkness under his eyes, and his voice was like broken jade from Kunshan, with a heart-stopping chill:
"I heard that Concubine Liang came to Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Imperial Grandmother early yesterday morning?"
Gao Hai appears to be the chief eunuch, but in fact he controls another force.
This power is Emperor Wu Shun's real trump card.
If Liangdi was really the one who harmed the imperial grandmother, no matter how covert her methods were, she would still be found out.
After Liang Fei heard this, she suddenly lost control of her strength and became a little too strong.
She hurriedly walked around to Emperor Wu Shun and looked at him with pear blossoms and rain, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I, my concubine, deserve to die."
Emperor Wu Shun bent down, helped her up personally, and comforted her in a low voice, "My dear concubine, please squeeze my shoulders. It's too late for me to reward you. How can I be willing to punish you? Come and sit next to me."
Liang Fei glanced at Liu Wanyue, her eyes filled with pride.
But there was a shy look on his face, and he wanted to refuse but welcomed him, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine sister is still here..."
Emperor Wu Shun did not even look at Liu Wanyue: "You are my concubine, one of the four concubines, and you are qualified to sit next to me."
Liang Fei secretly glanced at Mo Ronyan, leaned on Emperor Wu Shun's shoulder, lowered her eyelashes, and spoke softly:
"I got a strange flower the day before yesterday. Knowing that the Queen Mother likes flowers, I was busy sending it to the Queen Mother before dawn yesterday..."
As she said this, her eyes were red and her tears were hanging on her face, which was extremely heart-wrenching, "The Third Highness wants to put this charge on my concubine, so he has to provide evidence."
"As long as Your Highness produces evidence, even if I kill you, I will have nothing to say."
Emperor Wu Shun patted her hand: "The third child has no doubts about your intentions. He is just asking. I naturally trust my concubine."
Liu Wanyue's face suddenly turned pale, and her usually red lips lost their color.
She lowered her eyes stiffly, swallowing the sadness that overflowed into her throat.
Your Majesty is not her Majesty alone, but your Majesty to all the concubines.
She was indeed greedy.
I have been accustomed to His Majesty's exclusive favor for more than ten years, but I can't see His Majesty favoring other women.
A faint murderous intent flashed in Mo Ronyan's eyes, and he looked at Liu Wanyue distressedly.
Su Ruotang lowered his eyes and said in a soft and harmless voice: "Father, can I take a look at that flower?"
Liang Fei's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.
She bit her lip, feeling vaguely panicked.
Su Ruotang even knew that the Queen Mother was possessed by poison, so would she have discovered the secret of that flower?
