The daily life of the little princess of the royal group
Chapter 181 Time is running out
Hua Dexing wanted to play a trick on Jiang Hetang, but he also knew that it was inappropriate in this situation.
Mingyue saw that he was still silent, and her eyes turned red with anxiety. "Doctor Hua! Please speak quickly!"
"Oh, although this poison is very vicious, it is easy to cure. However, the difficulty lies in how the Queen Mother was poisoned."
"As long as the cause of the poisoning is found, detoxification will be much easier."
Before Mingyue could even smile, Hua Dexing gave out another bombshell piece of news.
"The Empress Dowager doesn't have much time left. Judging from her pulse, she has persevered for over half a month with her own tenacious perseverance, which is already a great achievement. She can only hold on for another half a month at most."
Jiang Hetang's burgeoning hope was extinguished, and he nearly collapsed to the ground. Half a month? Did Mother only have half a month left? Had she been struggling with nightmares these past few days? And as her son, I had no idea?
Hua Dexing continued, "But if we wait until then, even if the poison is removed, Your Majesty will inevitably suffer from dizziness and nightmares in the future."
He squeezed Jiang Hetang's hand tightly. "So, the maximum deadline I can give you is to find the source of the poison within three days. During these days, I will give you acupuncture to relieve your pain."
After saying this, he went downstairs to rest, prepared some golden needles and herbs, and moved to the side hall of Yongshou Palace to wait.
Everyone started working in an orderly manner. Some prepared medicine, some gave acupuncture, and some conducted investigations. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Even Mingyue had to be coaxed a lot, and she didn't rest until Mingyang entered the palace.
There were four or five small couches in the empress dowager's bedroom. Whether it was Jiang Hetang, Yuan Tianzhen, Mingyue, Mingyang, or Huan Ge'er, they all wanted to stay with the empress dowager.
Mingyue was lying on the small couch and was about to go to sleep when she saw Jiang Hetang sitting beside the empress dowager's bed, looking quite depressed.
He held the Queen Mother's hand, thinking back to his childhood, when he was sick day and night, and his mother had stayed by his side like this.
"Mother, I am an unfilial son..."
Mingyue listened to Jiang Hetang's soft sobbing and felt very sad. She turned around and tears flowed down her cheeks. "Grandma, you must be well. Watch me grow up, watch my brothers get married and have children, and help them take care of their children..."
The next day, Mingyue woke up early without anyone calling her.
Seeing the palace maids yawning one after another, as if they had just returned from the Ministry of Punishment, Mingyue asked Taotao curiously, "Do you have any clues?"
Taotao didn't know and could only shake her head, but she suddenly thought of something and took out the small notebook in her arms and showed it to Mingyue.
It is true that the servant follows the master, and the words are both like dog crawling.
Mingyue twitched her lips and read carefully. Although Taotao's handwriting was ugly, she had a good way of organizing information, clearly recording the situation in Yongshou Palace and the Empress Dowager over the past few days. When and where, who did what, who had visited in recent days, what was special about the Empress Dowager recently...
Mingyue read through the items one by one. Mingyang, who had just returned from the Ministry of Punishment, was attracted by her serious look. "Mingyue, what are you looking at?"
"Brother, what's the result on your side?"
Ming Yang shook his head and sighed, "Last night, the Jinyiwei, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple were all searching for clues, but so far, they have found nothing."
Mingyue handed Taotao's notebook to Mingyang, "Brother, this is what Taotao asked around and wrote down. Take a look and see if there's anything strange."
Mingyang naturally knew her sister. If there was no doubt, she would not bring up useless things at such a critical stage.
He took it and flipped through the pages, but didn't find anything. He was just wondering, "Why did my grandmother suddenly become interested in raising fish?"
"Right!" Mingyue excitedly pulled her brother's wrist, "Brother, let's go ask?"
"it is good"
This is how this family is. No matter what Mingyue says or what she wants to do, everyone from the Empress Dowager to the three-year-old Huange'er will respond.
Even though the situation is urgent now, Zhao Mingyang is still willing to spend some time to investigate this matter. It is not only to give Mingyue an explanation, but also to provide a clue.
In order not to attract attention, Mingyue and Mingyang went to find Aunt Xu first.
At this time, Aunt Xu was sitting next to the empress dowager, whose hair was covered with gold needles, with red eyes, muttering something.
"Your Majesty, please wake up. The Emperor has become much more haggard these days, and the Empress has been staying by your side all day without taking off her clothes."
"And the little princess, I don't know where she overheard your story, and she came back to the palace crying and making a fuss. Now, I'm helping you find the murderer."
"For their sake, please hold on a little longer."
I think Aunt Xu heard what Hua Dexing said yesterday, that the Queen Mother might be able to hear the sounds from the outside world now, but her mind was trapped and she couldn't wake up. So she wanted to say more in her ear so that she could think of the children in reality from time to time and not get lost in the dream.
"Mommy."
"Hey," Nanny Xu wiped her tears and turned around, "Princess, Young Master, what's wrong?"
"Is Mammy free?"
"There's nothing wrong with me. I just wanted to chat with the queen. What's wrong?" The nanny pulled Mingyue into her arms and touched her hair bun.
"Mammy, why does grandma suddenly like raising fish?" Mingyue blinked her eyes, pointed at the fish tank not far away, and asked curiously.
"Oh, about that. A while ago, a young palace maid suddenly told me about a miraculous thing that happened in her childhood. She said she once saw an old woman, about ninety years old. Because she raised fish every day, her mind was very clear and her eyes were bright and sparkling."
"The Empress Dowager also wants to give it a try, hoping that when she's old, she can still be a young, energetic old lady."
"So, there was a fish tank in the hall. Your Majesty, you have to play with the little fish every day."
Mingyue and Mingyang nodded and looked at each other.
"Mammy, where is that little palace maid now?" Mingyang asked.
"Her name is Minhui. She left the palace a few days ago. She is now 25 years old. The Empress gave her a lot of good things."
Mingyang frowned, this was too much of a coincidence.
After the brother and sister said goodbye to the nanny, one went to check the whereabouts of the palace maid, and the other went to find Hua Dexing to check if there was any problem with the water in the fish tank.
