The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

As Su Yuejian expected, the news that Prince Gong was poisoned by the Poison Monster spread throughout the streets and alleys the next day, but there was no news at all that Lu Jinru was poisoned.

Wen Zhiling has been taking care of Su Yanzhou at the Taifu Mansion for the past two days, but he spends most of his time going to Wutongju to discuss medical skills with Su Yuejian.

On this day, someone from the palace came back with the box of poison that was taken away from Su Yuejian's courtyard.

Looking at the empty box, Su Yue's face turned grim and ugly. Sensing her anger, Huang Zhongsheng smiled a little stiffly.

"My Lady, you are truly talented. Those poisons can be used to judge people and punish evildoers. This is the highest virtue."

Su Yuejian's voice was extremely cold, "I don't need virtue."

No wonder it took three days to send her things back. She had already emptied the house.

It is said that if you have done nothing wrong, you will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. So the emperor did this because he was afraid that she would poison him quietly?

Huang Zhongsheng had also seen big scenes. After all, serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. However, being stared at by Su Yuejian like this still made him break out in a cold sweat.

"My princess, you are joking. These are the rewards given to you by the emperor. They commend you for your generosity in donating medicine and your contributions to the country."

Wen Zhiling glanced at the gold and felt sorry for Su Yuejian.

Oh, he had taken a close look at Junior Sister's poison that day. The herbs needed were extremely rare. Not to mention buying them with gold, the herbs needed for the deadly poison were simply hard to come by. It would take at least seven or eight years to collect such a big box of poison!

What can you do with that little money? How ironic!

Isn't this a blatant robbery by the emperor? How dare the emperor do such a robbery!

Su Yuejian refused to accept the reward, and Huang Zhongsheng's smile froze in embarrassment. He glanced at the palace servants behind him, and the palace servants immediately placed the reward in the courtyard.

Huang Zhongsheng wiped the sweat from his palms and bowed with a flattering smile, "When I left the palace today, I happened to meet Zhu Qiu coming to deliver an imperial edict, so I asked this old servant to pass on the message that the Empress Dowager invites you to the palace to accompany her."

Su Yuejian didn't say anything. For the first time, Huang Zhongsheng felt that Princess Minghua was not easy to get along with at all.

Wen Zhiling curled his lips secretly. If someone took away all the medical knowledge and blood he had accumulated over the years, he would definitely fight to the death with that person.

He secretly glanced at Su Yuejian's cold face and sighed silently, poor little junior sister.

"county.."

Huang Zhongsheng wanted to speak, but Su Yuejian turned around and went back to the house, leaving Huang Zhongsheng standing there in a daze.

Wen Zhiling felt unhappy for Su Yuejian and drove him away in a hostile tone, "Eunuch Huang, please go to the front yard and wait."

Not long after, Su Yuejian changed her clothes and makeup, then got on the carriage and followed Huang Zhongsheng into the palace.

As soon as she left, Yan Xu and the other two heard that someone had made her unhappy, so they immediately rushed to Wutongju and saw Wen Zhiling staring at the big box with worry.

After hearing what Wen Zhiling said about the poison, Yan Xu and the other two were filled with indignation!

"Those medicinal herbs are hard to come by. I see Junior Sister's face is as black as the bottom of a pot. Although she didn't say anything, she must be very sad and angry inside."

Wen Zhiling sighed, "I've already sent someone to fetch a few of my treasured medicinal herbs. I hope this can provide some comfort."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xu and the other two fell into silence and seemed to be lost in thought.

.....

Shou'an Palace

The empress dowager leaned on the soft couch with her eyes closed, her brows furrowed. Zhu Qiu was beside her, gently massaging her temples to relieve the pain.

Su Yuejian lowered her eyes and bowed, "Your humble servant pays homage to the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother gently raised her hand, motioning her to stand up and come closer.

"I've been having a terrible headache lately. The imperial physician has been treating me for days but there's been no improvement. I know you're knowledgeable in medicine, so I've summoned you here today not only to talk with me but also to help me check out this headache."

"Yes." Su Yuejian lowered his head and walked slowly forward, holding her wrist, frowning slightly, looking at the empress dowager's haggard and pale face, looking around, his eyes gradually darkening.

"how?"

"Excuse me, Her Majesty, besides headaches, do you occasionally experience tinnitus and photophobia?"

The Queen Mother opened her eyes, and Zhu Qiu immediately stopped what he was doing and replied respectfully, "Yes, I still get dizzy and lose my sight sometimes."

"How long have you had these symptoms?"

"It's been about half a year. The Queen Mother's migraine is an old problem that hasn't improved over the years. I heard that the princess is an excellent doctor. If she can cure it, it will be a great merit for the prince."

Zhu Qiu said this with a smile, and Su Yue’s brows furrowed even tighter.

Accumulate merit? This phrase sounds so familiar.

No matter how wicked she and Xiao Heng were, they all rushed forward and asked them to accumulate merits.

"I wonder when the Empress Dowager's headache started?"

The Queen Mother didn't know what she was thinking about. Her face turned cold and she said in a deep voice, "Since Heng'er was born."

Although she called Heng'er, Su Yuejian could clearly feel the Queen Mother's disgust and felt confused.

Zhu Qiu continued, "The prince was born during the coldest days of winter, the coldest time of year. The imperial physician said that the queen caught a cold during the month after giving birth, which is why she became ill."

Su Yuejian nodded, "This headache has been going on for years and cannot be eradicated. I can only prescribe some medicine to alleviate the symptoms."

"If the Empress Dowager trusts me, I can also give you acupuncture and moxibustion. The combination of the two will have a better effect."

The Queen Mother had no expectations of her at first, but after hearing her sincere words, she asked her to give it a try. Su Yuejian wrote a prescription and gave it to Zhu Qiu.

"The one above is a prescription for treating headaches, and the one below contains the things we'll need for acupuncture. Please prepare them together, Auntie."

Zhu Qiu didn't know much about medicine, so he took the prescription with caution and sent it to the Imperial Hospital for repeated examinations. Only after confirming that there was no problem did he give it to Su Yuejian.

"I need absolute silence when I'm doing acupuncture. You can leave first."

Su Yuejian held the silver needle and placed it on the candle flame to burn it. Zhu Qiu smiled and said, "Everyone in the palace is well-behaved. Princess, don't worry. They are guarding the outer hall and will never make a sound to disturb you."

Su Yuejian glanced at the palace maids in the hall without changing her expression.

"Okay, please put the ground medicinal powder into the small incense burner and bring it to the Empress. The medicinal fragrance can help relieve the pain during acupuncture."

"Your Majesty doesn't like strong incense, and it might be inconvenient to be too close. Why not burn it in the incense burner in the outer hall? The hall is sealed, and the incense will still be effective."

Although the imperial physician said that the medicinal fragrance was fine, Zhu Qiu still didn't dare to believe it too much.

"what ever."

After Su Yuejian finished speaking, she began to give the acupuncture. Zhu Qiu took the medicine powder to the outer hall and poured it into the incense burner.

After a cup of tea, the room was filled with the aroma of medicine. Su Yuejian inserted two needles, and the empress dowager's brows slowly relaxed. The severe pain in her head was mostly gone, and she felt much clearer. Just as she was feeling pleasantly surprised, she was gradually swept away by a wave of sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

Glancing at the palace maids with dazed eyes, Su Yue twisted her mouth. It was a good thing that Zhu Qiu didn't trust her, otherwise the bewitching incense would have been prepared in vain.

She took off the silver bell hairpin on her head and shook it gently.

"Ding-ling...Ding-ling..."

The person sleeping on the couch opened his confused eyes, and Su Yue saw that his eyes were gloomy.

"Tell me, why did you poison Xiao Heng?"
