The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

Anthurium is a chronic poison. Eating too much of it can cause infertility, dizziness, fatigue, and insomnia. If used for a long time, it can lead to neurasthenia.

The imperial physician could not find the root cause of this chronic poison even after examining the patient's pulse. He only thought that it was caused by depression.

No wonder my aunt’s eyes were bloodshot, as if she had been suffering from insomnia for a long time, all because of eating the anemarrhena.

And the reactions shown are at least from taking the drug for several years.

When taking my aunt's pulse, I found that her pulse was deep, weak and floating, and her yin was strong and her yang was weak. Even if she was cured, she would not be able to have children.

Perhaps due to long-term insomnia, his body was extremely weak and the source of his life was almost dried up.

My aunt died at a young age. It turned out that someone secretly murdered her!

Looking at my aunt's expression, she has no idea of ​​her own physical condition.

The situation in the palace is so complicated that I don’t know whether I should tell my aunt about this.

"You guys go down now, don't disturb us while we're having dinner."

Suddenly, Concubine Zhen waved her hand and ordered everyone to leave. Soon, they were the only two left in the palace.

"Aunt, why did you let them all go?"

Shen Tangan asked doubtfully, only to see her smile dotingly.

"I know you don't like complicated palace rules. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat well with them serving you. Now that they've left, you should relax a little."

"aunt……"

Shen Tangan pursed her lips. She was always strong, but now she felt like crying.

Her aunt was so good to her, and because of this, she felt even more distressed for her. She felt that such a good person could still have someone who wanted to harm her.

"what happened?"

Concubine Zhen passed the chicken leg in front of her to her. Seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, she quickly put down her chopsticks and said with a worried look on her face, "Did Shen Jiyuan punish you again? Or have you been wronged? Tell your aunt, and she will definitely take care of it for you."

She frowned and looked angry. Shen Jiyuan was extremely hypocritical and she had disliked him for a long time.

He even dared to marry a concubine, favor the concubine over his wife, and allow a scheming concubine to bully An An openly and secretly.

It would be nice if they could take this opportunity to teach him a lesson and vent their anger on behalf of the mother and daughter.

If it weren't for the fact that the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and if he himself was in a high position and had to be careful with his words and actions, with his every move being watched by countless eyes, based on Shen Jiyuan's character, he would have been demoted to a commoner on any pretext.

As for Zheng's mother and daughter, what's the big deal? Just a casual word can make them disappear completely. If An An didn't like them, with the character of this mother and daughter, they would have died countless times.

Shen Jiyuan is just a blind man. He really thinks that mother and daughter are good things!

"Aunt, I haven't suffered any injustice."

Shen Tangan held her hand and shook his head with heartache.

"But you, my aunt, have been living in the deep palace for many years and cannot go out. Even if you are in a high position, your life is not easy, right?"

In any case, she was outside the palace and was much freer than her aunt. Even if she had suffered some minor grievances in the past, it was her own fault.

Now, no matter whether it is Shen Jiyuan or Zheng's mother and daughter, no one can bully her, and no one can take advantage of her.

But my aunt is different. The higher her status, the greater the shackles on her. She was a royal concubine and the mainstay of the Shangshu Mansion.

As the saying goes, living with a king is like living with a tiger. Her life must be more difficult than she imagined, and not as glamorous as it looks on the outside.

Just like she, whose status in the palace was second only to the queen, was still secretly poisoned.

Fortunately, my aunt is favored and has my cousin, the Sixth Prince, by her side, so those people hiding in the dark dare not act openly, otherwise they would have torn my aunt into pieces long ago, right?

"you……"

Concubine Zhen looked at her, her beautiful eyes paused for a moment, then she patted her hands with satisfaction.

"Have you been studying recently? You are so sensible that even your aunt can't get used to it. It's hard for you to think about your aunt. Everything is fine in the palace."

"Aunt, I have read some books recently, but they are not ordinary books."

Shen Tangan's eyes lit up. She hadn't figured out how to explain it to her aunt, but she took the initiative to mention reading, which immediately made her realize something.

Suddenly I was glad that she didn't like studying before and could find a reasonable explanation for what she knows now.

"Could it be... a banned book?"

Seeing how nervous she was, Concubine Zhen lowered her voice, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes as she looked at her.

"An An, you can't read banned books casually, you are still young..."

"Aunt, it's not a banned book, it's a medical book!"

Shen Tangan suddenly felt a headache. Why did he feel that the imperial concubine aunt, who was supposed to be so high and mighty in front of him, was so indecent?

"Medical books? You? Reading medical books?"

"Aunt, your contempt is too obvious."

She was worried that her aunt would not be able to accept the fact that the food was poisonous, but now she was suddenly not so worried.

After careful consideration, I decided to tell her that now is the best time so that she can be prepared in the future.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you used to get sleepy when you read books. I can't imagine you treating patients."

Concubine Zhen covered her lips and chuckled, looking like she was really amused by her.

"Aunt, there is a chronic poison in your food, and your physical discomfort is also caused by this poison. Do you often feel weak and tired, and suffer from insomnia every day?"

"you……"

Concubine Zhen widened her eyes, and the expression on her face gradually changed from shock to surprise. She reached out and rubbed her face, smiling with relief.

"Is this still my niece? She seems to know some medical skills."

"Aunt, did you hear me? You are poisoned! Poisoned! Do you understand?"

Shen Tangan was shocked. His aunt was so careless that she didn't care at all about his poisoning.

I was worried that she wouldn't be able to accept it, but it turned out my worry was in vain.

"It's just poisoning, isn't it? It's no big deal. I've been in the palace for more than ten years, and I've been poisoned seven or eight times. There have been several times when my life was on the line and I was on the verge of death."

Concubine Zhen really didn't care. In the harem, intrigues, deceptions, and attacks were normal and could not be avoided even if one wanted to.

"Aunt, you have such a good attitude!"

Shen Tangan gave a thumbs up. She really admired her aunt's free and easy attitude.

"It's not life-threatening, it's just a minor poison." Concubine Zhen looked at her with a smile, "Didn't you study medicine? Can you help your aunt to cure this poison?"

"Aunt, do you trust me so much?"

Shen Tangan was stunned. Is this the way a normal person should think and react?

She was even asked to be a test subject because his ideas were too advanced and she could hardly keep up.

"I believe it! If you like medicine, how about I ask His Majesty to let you study at the Imperial Hospital?"

Concubine Zhen was cheerful on her own, not worried about herself at all, but she was also worried about her.

Her niece finally has someone she likes, so she can't let her down.

"I'd better take a good look at it for you first."

Shen Tangan had no choice but to stop hiding his strength and directly grabbed her wrist to take her pulse carefully.

It was pretty much the same as her previous guess, but even though her aunt had been cured of the poison she had been poisoned with a few times before, her body was still injured. It seemed like she had to prepare more tonics.

"Aunt, you've been taking this poison for many years. Even if you're cured, you're no longer able to have children..."

Having said that, Shen Tangan still felt a little bit reluctant. Seeing her stunned for a moment, his smile seemed a bit forced.

"It's okay. You are enough for my aunt."
