I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 21: Queen Chen is murdered again and is in critical condition

In the early morning of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, inside the underground palace of the Shugang ancient tomb in Yangzhou city.

The Third Prince Qi Zhen and An Wuxia spent most of the night discussing the Queen and Lin Ruhai's poison. When the east was already bright, the Third Prince ordered the Meteor Army to take her to rest.

At this moment, Qi Zhen was preparing to send people to immediately investigate the matter of the ocean glaciers.

Unexpectedly, the Meteor Army came to report that there was an important secret sent by Fei Ge.

Qi Zhen took the black pigeon and opened the bamboo tube letter under its wings.

In an instant, a trace of heaviness and sadness flashed in his eyes.

Qi Zhen's trusted subordinate Tianjizi immediately stepped forward and said in a low and mysterious voice, "Do you want to gather the troops and take secret action immediately?"

Qi Zhen turned around and said, "Tianjizi! You must not do that! This will only make things more difficult to control."

Tianjizi was dressed in black and covered his face, but his voice was extremely calm, firm and clear. "Prince! Our Meteor Army and Lingxi Pavilion have the strength to do this!..."

Qi Zhen glanced at Tianjizi, smiled calmly and said, "I knew you wouldn't let go of this information!"

Tianjizi hurriedly leaned forward to admit his mistake and said, "I am just worried about the prince. Ever since you met the girl from the Imperial Medical Bureau, you have always been hesitant in doing things. You should be as decisive as before."

Qi Zhen hurriedly said: "All the decisions I made have nothing to do with Miss An! Please don't misunderstand! You must ensure her safety as always, and there can be no mistakes!"

Tianjizi said: "Are we going to watch the Queen being deposed, the Duke of Qi's mansion taking back the military power, and the Left Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice being dismissed?!"

Qi Zhen came over and gently patted Tianjizi on the shoulder. Although his heart was in turmoil, he said calmly, "I will definitely be able to clean up this mess! Don't worry."

It is said that Tianjizi is a high-ranking civil official of the current dynasty, the second son of Prime Minister Tianyou, and has an elder brother named Tianxiang. Since he was selected to enter the palace as a companion to the prince since he was young, he also served as a guard general in the Meteor Army and was the head of the Rising Sun Pavilion among the twelve pavilions in the Lingxi Pavilion. Therefore, he has a particularly close relationship with the deposed prince Qizhen, better than a brother.

Lingxi Pavilion is an extremely mysterious secret organization of masters in the Dayao Dynasty. The people and the court have only heard of their legends and have never seen their true faces. However, it is widely said that "Lingxi's help will ensure the stability of the country." Therefore, since the founding of the Great Yao Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu has often secretly tracked down the whereabouts of the people in Lingxi Pavilion, hoping to annihilate them in one fell swoop. However, they have always been elusive.

There are currently twelve pavilions in Lingxi Pavilion, namely: Qingchun Pavilion, Moxia Pavilion, Jinqiu Pavilion, Sudong Pavilion, Xuri Pavilion, Mingyue Pavilion, Canxing Pavilion, Liangchen Pavilion, Linfeng Pavilion, Muyu Pavilion, Jinglei Pavilion and Lightning Pavilion.

Those who can enter Lingxi Pavilion have at least one or more unique skills, and their kung fu is unique in the martial arts world. For example, Tianjizi, not only because of his romantic and handsome appearance, but also because of his excellent kung fu, once ranked third in the Lingxi Pavilion competition. Otherwise, with his young qualifications, he would never be able to ascend to the throne of the leader of the Xuri Pavilion.

After reading the pigeon letter, the third prince Qi Zhen tried his best to comfort Tianjizi not to act rashly. When he returned to the inner room, he was already secretly planning how to resolve the crisis.

By noon, An Wuxia had already woken up in the underground palace. At this time, an extremely pretty maid came to serve her and said with a smile: "I am Bai He from Lingxi Pavilion. The prince asked me to take care of you. Miss An, did you have a good rest? Although this is an underground palace, it has everything you need for daily life and it seems quieter than outside."

An Wuxia smiled and responded quickly, "I rested well. Thank the Third Prince for his arrangement. I'm used to being alone. No need to trouble you to take care of me and wash myself."

Bai He said hurriedly, "How can this be possible? The prince ordered me to serve you, and later you will blame me for neglecting you."

An Wuxia smiled and said, "It's rare for you to be so loyal. I will explain it to him later."

Bai He bowed gently and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command." Just as she was about to go out, she saw Qi Zhen walk in.

Bai He bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, Miss An likes to be free and is not used to me dressing her up, so I will go down first."

Qi Zhen smiled and said, "Why can't you stop calling me the Crown Prince? I've been out of that position for a long time."

Bai He smiled hurriedly and said, "I was careless for a moment, Third Prince."

Qi Zhen nodded and said gently: "I don't blame you, I just remind you not to call her the wrong name again. Since Miss An does not need your care for the time being, you can go back and wait." After hearing this, Bai He nodded and turned to leave.

An Wuxia smiled and said, "The people in Lingxi Pavilion are very loyal to you!"

Qi Zhen smiled calmly and said, "All the talented people in the world appreciate each other, not to mention that we all have a heart of gold and a heart of gold, so naturally we are united by our faith."

An Wuxia looked at Qi Zhen and said meaningfully, "Lingxi Pavilion has always been just a legend. People can't guess whether they exist or not. But they are extremely loyal to you."

Qi Zhen said anxiously, "I will tell you about Lingxi Pavilion and me later when I have time. I just received a letter from the carrier pigeon in the capital, and the situation has changed urgently."

An Wuxia immediately became nervous and asked anxiously, "What's going on?!"

Qi Zhen looked at her and said, "The Queen Mother's poison has worsened, her insanity has become more serious, and her life is in danger. Concubine Mu wants to slander her to my father to depose her from the position of Queen, and at the same time remove the left prime minister Tianyou and Si Tu Zhuangjing from their posts, and take back the military power of the Duke of Qi's Mansion."

An Wuxia took a deep breath and said, "How is this possible?! My prescription is enough to weaken the poison for the queen. Unless... someone deliberately didn't let the queen take the prescription! Or Concubine Mu poisoned the queen again!... This Concubine Mu! Her son has replaced the crown prince, but she is still not satisfied. Every blow is fatal, and she must kill the queen."

Qi Zhen said calmly: "The most important thing now is that you must find a way to curb the poison in the Queen Mother's body as soon as possible, and alleviate her madness."

Qi Zhen's eyes moistened, and he slowly closed his eyes, trying his best to control the tears from falling. After a moment, he said, "I know that my mother is in a dangerous place, and Concubine Mu and her son can take her life at any time. Now, I must find a way to rescue her, otherwise she will die."

An Wuxia said hurriedly: "It's not so easy to go to the forbidden area of ​​the palace. You have already visited the Queen once last time. Maybe it was your visit that alerted the spies of Concubine Mu and her son, so they found out that someone was treating the Queen, which prevented her from taking the medicine, causing the toxicity to worsen."

Qi Zhen felt as if a knife was twisting his heart as he said, "But I can't watch my mother lose her life, nor can I watch the left prime minister, the minister, and my uncle be implicated."

An Wuxia said: "But the more rashly we act at this time, the easier it is for us to be fooled."

Qi Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "We have to take a risk this time, and we have to find the best way to solve the problem." After that, he whispered a secret into An Wuxia's ear.

After hearing this, An Wuxia stared at Qi Zhen with eyes wide open. She said in disbelief: "My Prince! You really are the great detective Sherlock Holmes of this era! You are simply possessed by the star of wisdom!" After saying this, she pinched his nose in admiration.

Qi Zhen was completely confused. He blinked his eyes stupidly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand a word you say!"

An Wuxia then realized that she had traveled from the modern world into the book, and knew that she had said something wrong. She blushed and lowered her head, saying sweetly and innocently, "Nothing...! What I meant was..."

Qi Zhen's eyes were filled with her innocent and cute beauty and shyness. He felt as if he had made things difficult for her. For a moment, he felt awkward and could only look at her lovingly...
