Su Ruotang was interrupted from his thoughts and stopped delving into it.
He changed his clothes and entered the palace with Mo Ronyan.
Xianqing Hall.
Besides Liu Wanyue, there was another person who surprised Su Ruotang——
Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother is ten years older than when we first met.
"Grandma Huang, concubine." Su Ruotang bowed in a standard manner.
The Queen Mother rested her forehead on one hand and leaned on the armrest with a tired expression.
When his eyes fell on her face, surprise flashed in his eyes, "Come to the Ai family."
Su Ruotang glanced at Mo Rongyan hesitantly.
Mo Ronyan squeezed her little hand and comforted her silently.
Su Ruotang stepped forward slowly.
The Queen Mother sat up straight with Liu Wanyue's support, raised her hand and took Su Ruotang's hand.
Su Ruotang stiffened suddenly when he was suddenly touched by the Queen Mother.
She pursed her lips uncomfortably.
The Queen Mother noticed her subconscious resistance and did not let go.
Instead, he took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on her hand.
Su Ruotang was surprised: "Grandma Huang..."
The Queen Mother patted the back of her hand and let go, "Grandma Huang was confused before and did something sorry for you. Don't argue with Grandma Huang and live a good life with Ayan."
Su Ruotang bit her lip and hummed softly, "Thank you, Grandma Huang."
Liu Wanyue smiled: "Tang'er, when you are free from now on, come to the palace to accompany us more often."
Su Ruotang nodded in agreement, and then said softly: "Grandma Huang, let me take your pulse again."
The Queen Mother held out her wrist.
Su Ruotang concentrated, and his fingertips touched the veins of the Queen Mother's wrist.
The Queen Mother has always been pampered and pampered, and the late Emperor loved her very much.
It has been extremely well maintained and looks to be in its thirties.
However, this time she was poisoned and her essence and blood were severely damaged, causing her to look more than ten years older.
After a moment, Su Ruotang took back his hand.
The Queen Mother looked tired and just asked, "Can the Ai family survive until your child is born?"
Su Ruotang felt dumbfounded for a moment.
Mo Ronyan put down the teacup in his hand and said in a calm voice, "Grandma Huang, if you want to hold your great-grandson, you must live well."
The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with bitterness, and she looked at Su Ruotang with complicated eyes.
This is a good child, she was really blind at first.
Facing the Queen Mother's complex and loving gaze, Su Ruotang was silent for a moment.
It is undeniable that she did not have any good impression of the Queen Mother when they first met.
But the Queen Mother was very kind to Ayan, and she cared about her grandson from the bottom of her heart.
"Grandma Huang, I have a way to help you regain some of your appearance, but I'm not sure whether it will be successful or whether there will be any side effects."
When the Queen Mother heard this, the light in her eyes brightened, "Girl, is there really hope that the Ai family's appearance can be restored?"
There is no woman who does not love beauty.
After waking up, she only looked in the mirror once.
Faced with a face that had suddenly aged ten years, she really couldn't accept it.
Su Ruotang nodded: "But I have never experimented before..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother, "You try, but if you fail, it will be the fate of the Ai family."
Liu Wanyue looked a little worried: "What will happen if we fail?"
Su Ruotang thought for a while and said, "It won't be worse than now."
She had seen a kind of poison - blood poison - in the manuscripts of the ancestors of the Mu family.
This kind of Gu needs to be fed with the heart blood of ninety-nine and eighty-one monkeys for nine days, and then implanted into the heart of the patient.
During the feeding process, it absorbs the essence and blood of the monkey's heart and then feeds it back to the host.
The Queen Mother nodded without hesitation: "Girl, what do you need to prepare?"
"Eighty-one monkeys."
monkey?
The Queen Mother and Liu Wanyue were both stunned.
Su Ruotang explained softly: "Just take three drops of heart blood from each animal, it won't hurt your life."
"I will give you another injection later, and you will take the medicine according to my prescription every day for the next nine days."
The Queen Mother nodded: "Girl, thank you for your hard work."
After lunch, Mo Ronyan and Mo Jinming went to the imperial study.
Su Ruotang and Liu Wanyue supported the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace.
After administering the acupuncture to the Queen Mother, Liu Wanyue stayed to take care of the Queen Mother.
Su Ruotang went to the outer hall to write a prescription.
When a palace maid was grinding the inkstone for her, she suddenly lost her balance and knocked over the inkstone.
Su Ruotang's gorgeous dress was suddenly stained with black ink.
Nanny Qin, the steward of Cining Palace, immediately yelled angrily in a low voice: "How did you do it? You are so stupid!"
The palace maid turned pale with fright, and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Third Princess, please forgive me, I didn't mean it!"
The steward said to Su Ruotang: "The third prince's concubine, I will drag her out and beat her to death with sticks."
"Please spare the life of the third prince and concubine! Please spare the life of the third prince and concubine!"
Su Ruotang glanced at the ugly ink on her dress, put down her pen and stood up, "She didn't do it on purpose. The Queen Mother has just fallen asleep. Don't disturb the Queen Mother. I can just go back to my house and change my dress."
Nanny Qin's face softened slightly: "The third prince's concubine is really kind-hearted."
She waved the palace maid to leave, then hesitated and said, "The Queen Mother has prepared new clothes for you, but I haven't had time to give them to you yet."
"If you don't mind it, you can change your clothes in the side hall of Cining Palace."
Su Ruotang nodded.
Nanny Qin quickly ordered a young palace maid to take Su Ruotang to the side hall to change clothes.
The palace maid took Su Ruotang to the side hall and Fu Shen said: "Third Princess, please sit down and wait for a while while I go get my clothes."
Su Ruotang hummed lightly and sat by the window.
She was the only one left in the huge side hall.
She took off her outer shirt and casually glanced at the ink on her sleeves and hem. Her eyes fell on the green bamboo outside the window, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.
The books Mu Chen brought recorded many unheard of Gu insects.
These poisonous insects are similar to the folk remedies used by some ethnic minorities to treat diseases in previous lives.
Gu has two sides, both depend on the temperament of the breeder.
Saving lives or harming others is all at the discretion of the breeder.
For example, using Gu insects to replace spinal nerves can theoretically allow paralyzed people to stand up again...
While she was thinking, she suddenly felt dizzy.
Su Ruotang raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.
The next moment, she paused and looked coldly at the incense burner in the room.
There’s something wrong with the spices!
She didn't even notice it...
Su Ruotang took out a pill and drank it, then stood up and picked up the teapot and burned out the incense burner.
After seeing the contents of the incense burner clearly, her pupils shrank.
Gu combined with spices.
The medicinal flavor in the spices is absorbed by the poisonous insects.
That's why she didn't realize there was something wrong with the spices when she entered the palace.
Unknowingly, he hit the road.
Su Ruotang took out the silver needle and inserted it into the acupuncture point on the neck.
After closing his eyes for a while, he was about to leave the side hall.
But unexpectedly, the door to the side hall was pushed open.
