It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"Poisoned?"

When the imperial concubine heard this, her eyes widened instantly: "How is it possible? Although my medical skills are not as sophisticated as yours, I can still distinguish between illness and poisoning."

"When you were attending to the Queen Mother, did you notice that she had symptoms such as drooling, vomiting, abdominal pain, irregular heartbeat, and difficulty breathing?"

After thinking about it carefully, the imperial concubine nodded: "Yes, and it is getting worse day by day. I thought it was because the queen mother was terminally ill, and I never thought it was poisoning."

After checking the Queen Mother's fingernails and toenails, Yuan Buwei gently unbuttoned her nightgown. After searching her body, she finally found a not very obvious black line under her armpit. "Senior Sister Wei, look at this black line. It is a symptom of poisoning. If the black line continues to meander to the soles of her feet, even gods will be unable to save her."

The Queen Mother has lived a life of luxury for so many years that she has gained a lot of weight, so you have to spread her arms apart to see the black line.

"What was the poison that the Queen Mother was poisoned with?"

"It was initially determined to be Artemisia sutchuenensis, a medicinal herb that grows high in the mountains and has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and other effects. However, this herb belongs to the genus Aconitum and its roots contain highly toxic ingredients. Artemisia sutchuenensis is toxic enough to be fatal."

"Dispel wind? Anti-inflammatory? The Queen Mother was allergic to pollen before, so this herb can be used."

"Yes." Yuan Buwei nodded. "After being processed, Artemisia sibiricum loses its toxicity. In addition, it was originally used for anti-inflammatory and analgesic purposes. As long as a doctor understands this principle, he can tamper with it. Even if others come to check, they will not doubt that Artemisia sibiricum has not been processed."

"I remember that the medicine the Queen Mother drank before was all prescribed by Li Yuanshi." The imperial concubine's face turned pale instantly, "Why did he want to harm the Queen Mother?"

"He doesn't have this burden. He is probably being instructed by someone. The Queen has helped him out a lot just now." Yuan Buwei couldn't say directly that Envoy Li had a relationship with the Queen. After all, she had no substantial evidence. But as long as she mentioned it to Senior Sister Wei, with her many years of experience in palace fighting, she would definitely guess the relationship between the two.

"Y-It's the Queen?!"

The imperial concubine covered her mouth instantly, and it took her a while to come back to her senses: "This, the queen is the niece of the queen mother, they are aunt and niece, what deep hatred do they have?"

"I guess only they themselves know the answer."

Yuan Buwei had already taken out the silver needle: "Now that we know that the Queen Mother is poisoned, it will be easy to deal with. I will give her acupuncture and bloodletting first, and then I will write down the antidote. Senior Sister Wei can go and get the medicine directly. We just need to wait for the Emperor to ask about it..."

"After giving the Queen Mother acupuncture and bloodletting, will she wake up? I think the Queen Mother should be informed of this matter first. Whether or not to tell the Emperor the truth depends on what the Queen Mother says. Otherwise, the Queen is here too, and if she knows, she might find an opportunity to take action."

"Acupuncture and bloodletting can remove some toxins." Yuan Buwei thought for a moment, opened the second layer of the medicine box and searched around, then found a green porcelain bottle. "I knew that Senior Sister had arranged a little surprise for me."

"what is this?"

"The detoxification pill was developed by our senior sister. I asked her for it before I left, but she said it was too precious and she was reluctant to give it to me. I didn't expect that she still loved me and hid the porcelain bottle in the small compartment on the second layer of the medicine box."

"Xuan Yue always likes to surprise people. I remember last year, on my birthday, she gave me a lot of rouge and powder, and specifically told me not to share them with others, but to use them myself. I used them for about half a month, and I felt that my skin was much smoother." Speaking of Qin Xuan Yue, the imperial concubine also laughed, "She must not have thought that the little surprise she arranged would help a lot."

"Yes, when I return to Medicine King Valley someday, I will definitely give her a few kisses."

Yuan Buwei poured out the pill from the porcelain bottle, smelled it, and confirmed that it was an antidote before stuffing it into the empress dowager's mouth.

Then, together with Senior Sister Wei, they began to give the Empress Dowager acupuncture and bloodletting.

The blood that had just been released was dark and thick, and had a faint fishy smell.

It was not until a while later that the blood slowly turned bright red.

Yuan Buwei felt that the empress dowager's breathing was gradually improving and the color on her face was gradually returning.

Until a long time later.

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes.

"Queen, are you awake?"

The imperial concubine didn't dare to speak too loudly. After all, the room was not cleaned yet. If the emperor heard it and rushed in, it would be difficult for her to explain.

When the Queen Mother looked at the Imperial Concubine, there was a trace of confusion in her eyes. After a moment, she reacted: "Ran Xin?"

"Yes, Queen Mother, you are finally awake." The imperial concubine immediately knelt in front of the bed, "It's all my fault. I thought you were just sick, but I didn't expect you were poisoned."

"I've been poisoned?" Upon hearing that she was poisoned, the Queen Mother immediately struggled to sit up, "Who is so bold as to poison me?"

"Empress Dowager, I also read the medical books and felt that your symptoms were not right. I didn't expect that it turned out to be poisoning." The imperial concubine told the empress dowager the diagnosis results that Yuan Buwei had just told her, and added, "The emperor and the queen are outside. I dare not make a statement. I just want to wait until you wake up before making plans."

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed, and then she extended her hand to the Imperial Concubine.

The imperial concubine immediately extended her hand, and the queen mother held her hand tightly: "Ran Xin, you did a good job. If it weren't for you today, I would be dead."

"I am terrified. After I entered the palace, Your Majesty, you have always treated me as your own daughter, and you have been especially fond of Fu'er. When I think about the fact that if something happens to you, then I won't know who to complain to when I encounter any unhappy things in the palace in the future." As the concubine spoke, tears fell.

The Imperial Concubine didn't just say that she was the most diligent among all the concubines in meeting the Queen Mother.

Whenever the Empress Dowager had a headache or fever, she was the first to be affected.

Therefore, the Queen Mother would not doubt her sincerity towards her.

What's more, she has saved her life now.

The Queen Mother thought more highly of her: "I have such a caring daughter-in-law like you by my side. The King of Hell will not accept me. Please have someone clean up this place and let the Emperor in. The Queen will ask her to go back first. I don't want to see her for the time being."

"Yes."

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, the Imperial Concubine left immediately.

The emperor, who was about to come in after waiting an inch or two, saw the imperial concubine coming out and saying that the empress dowager had woken up.

He immediately walked in happily.

"Empress, the Queen Mother said that she doesn't want to see you for the time being." The Imperial Concubine stopped the Queen who was following the Emperor and bowed. "She asked you to go back first."

"Impossible! My aunt has woken up, how could she not let me see her?" The Queen didn't believe it at all. "Did you tell the Queen Mother something?"

"I am terrified. Even if I had ten guts, I would not dare to tell lies about you in front of the Queen Mother." The imperial concubine knelt down immediately. "I am just following the Queen Mother's instructions. Please don't embarrass me."
