Chapter 122 Concubine De is Poisoned
The queen looked at the unconscious face of Concubine De, and her heart was filled with anger. She had wanted to go to worship Buddha today under the pretext of going there. Before she could leave, she heard the servant announce that Concubine De was coming.
She wanted to refuse, saying that she had something important to attend to and asked her to go back first, but for some reason, Concubine De was extremely stubborn today. In the end, the Queen had no choice but to come out and say in person that she had something important to attend to today and asked her to come back another day.
But she was caught off guard that he suddenly fainted while standing.
He quickly asked his servants to carry the man up and place him in the west wing, and also asked the imperial physician to come and treat him.
At this time, Aunt Song also reminded the Queen and Concubine De that Madam Chu and Miss Chu were waiting in the palace.
That's why the Queen asked people to invite the two of them, but when she talked about Madam Chu, her face was full of disgust. It seemed that she didn't want to see this person at all.
Just now, the palace maid brought Yunying and Chu Qianyu to the door of the west bedroom. The palace maid outside the door went in and reported to the queen: "Your Majesty, someone is here."
The queen took a deep breath, calmed down, and her face instantly regained its usual graceful temperament. She stood up with a dignified smile and said, "Quick, go and invite someone in."
Then Yunying and Chu Qianyu were brought in and saluted the queen.
As soon as Yunying knelt down, the Queen quickly stepped forward and put her hand on her arm and said, "Aying, I finally see you. Come on, get up. Why are we still being polite to each other? Don't worry about these empty formalities."
Yunying pulled her arm out without leaving a trace and continued to salute, "Your Majesty, the ceremony cannot be abolished. Please let me finish the ceremony."
After hearing this, the Queen stood up straight and said, "Okay, okay, I won't try to persuade you anymore. You always have your own ideas."
After the ceremony was over, Yunying glanced at Yunmeng who was lying on the bed in the back and said anxiously, "Please, Queen, let me go and see how Concubine De is doing?"
"Yes, yes, I have already invited the imperial physician, but I forgot that Miss Chu knows medicine. I was really confused." After saying that, he quickly turned sideways and continued, "Miss Chu, go and see how your aunt is doing. She just fainted out of nowhere."
Chu Qianyu bowed slightly and agreed, then walked towards the direction of Concubine De.
Arriving in front of the bed, Chu Qianyu half-knelt down, put his hand on Defei's wrist, and was about to take her pulse when he suddenly felt his palm being scratched, and then he quickly tapped her wrist twice to indicate that he understood.
During the pulse diagnosis, Yunying stepped forward and stood aside, staring at the two of them with a worried look on her face without blinking.
When the queen saw the three people like this, a hint of annoyance flashed across her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. She had to think of how to get these three people to leave her as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, she winked at Aunt Song and said, "The Queen Mother said that she wants me to go to the temple to pray for blessings today. Go and tell the Queen Mother that something happened to me and I may have to go later."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Aunt Song agreed and hurried out.
Chu Qianyu felt Concubine De's pulse for a long time before she stood up and bowed to the Queen, saying, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should tell you this."
"What do you mean?" the queen said, but she felt a little uneasy after she finished speaking. She asked Chu Qianyu to see her because she thought that a little girl who had only studied medicine for a few days could learn nothing. So she didn't take it seriously.
But looking at her expression now, it seemed like she had noticed something.
As expected, she said, "Replying to the Queen, Concubine De was severely poisoned. That's why her body has been weak and has not improved."
The Queen's heartbeat quickened when she heard this. She pretended to be surprised and asked, "Poisoned? How could he be poisoned for no reason?"
"I don't know about this. I hope Her Majesty will look into this matter and give Concubine De justice." Chu Qianyu said.
After hearing this, Yunying leaned over to look at Concubine De's pale cheek. She felt so distressed that tears could not stop flowing.
"Are you sure that Concubine De has been poisoned? Moreover, there are special imperial physicians who go to the palace to check the pulse of each concubine every once in a while, and I haven't heard the imperial physician say that Concubine De has been poisoned. Maybe you have made a wrong diagnosis. It's better to wait a little longer, the imperial physician will be here soon." The queen said cautiously.
Chu Qianyu nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. My medical skills are still inadequate and my diagnosis may be wrong. Let's wait for the imperial physician to come and take a look."
The queen responded, then turned to the maid beside her and said, "Go and see why the imperial physician hasn't arrived yet. Remember not to invite the wrong person. It must be the imperial physician who usually checks Concubine De's pulse."
"Yes, I'll go check it out." The maid responded and walked out quickly. Not long after she went out, she heard a sound coming from outside.
"Empress Zhao has arrived!"
Then the curtain was seen being lifted, and Concubine Zhao walked in slowly, saluted the Queen, and then stood up.
Looking at Yunying and the other two, he said, "This is General Chu's wife and Miss Chu, right? Are you here to visit Concubine De today?"
"Why did Concubine Zhao suddenly come to my place?"
"Your Highness, do you not welcome me like this?" After saying this, without waiting for the Queen to answer, he took two steps forward and saw Concubine De who was blocked by Yunying and others. He asked in surprise: "Hey, Concubine De, what happened? Why are you lying in the Queen's Palace? Are you sick?"
The Queen sneered and said, "What kind of words are these, Concubine Zhao saying? If someone who doesn't know the truth heard them, they would think that I harmed Concubine De."
"It's just that Defei suddenly fainted when she came to my place. It just so happened that Madam Chu and Miss Chu came to visit, so this scene happened. If Zhaofei has nothing to do, please go back. There are too many people in this room, and Defei is not feeling well."
"Oh! Why is it bad to have me here? Wouldn't it be better if the Queen sent all the maids out of this room?"
When the queen heard this, she became a little angry, but one had to admire her patience.
But Shanshan became dignified again and said slowly, "Does Concubine Zhao mean to send all the palace maids away and let us take care of Concubine De?"
Zhao Fei didn't feel embarrassed at all after hearing this, but smiled and said, "When did I say this? The Queen should not speculate. Since I happened to come here and happened to see De Fei faint, I naturally can't just leave. Otherwise, if the Emperor knew about it, he would think that we sisters don't get along."
The queen snorted coldly, turned around and said, "Since you want to stay here, then stay."
After hearing this, Concubine Zhao smiled but said nothing. She said to the palace maid beside her, "Go and get the imperial physician Li who usually takes my pulse."
When the Queen heard this, her eyebrows twitched twice. She quickly turned around and looked at Concubine Zhao and said, "Concubine Zhao, there is no need to ask for the imperial physician. I have already sent someone to ask for one."
"Your Majesty, are you talking about the Imperial Physician Liu who has been treating Concubine De for many years? You still expect him to be able to treat Concubine De. Over the years, he has made Concubine De weaker and weaker. We sisters have seen it all. You should call the Imperial Physician Li who took my pulse."
After saying that, he urged the maid next to him again: "Go quickly! What are you still standing here for!"
"Yes, I'll go right away." The palace maid said and trotted out.
The queen finally felt embarrassed and looked at her with a sullen face, "I never thought that Concubine Zhao would care about Concubine De so much. I don't see you and Concubine De hanging out together on weekdays."
