Chapter 555: Appearance is the key to advancement in the harem

"Yes, I also know this medicinal herb. My grandmother used it before."

On the other side, Concubine Chen echoed.

Empress Yan asked the imperial physician with a gloomy face, "What's going on?"

The imperial physician hurriedly explained in great detail, fearing that the ladies would misunderstand him as a poor doctor and that he would not be able to survive in the palace in the future.

"Your Majesty, and all the ladies and gentlemen, this Thunder Fire Vine is bitter and cool in nature, and can indeed be used to prepare a medicine to dispel wind and detoxify. However, because the plant itself is highly toxic, it must be used with caution. There are many taboos when using this medicine, such as not drinking realgar wine, not coming into contact with saltpeter, etc.

However, a large number of fireworks were set off tonight, and they contain saltpeter, so a small amount will enter the air. This is not a problem, after all, the saltpeter has been mostly depleted by the smell of the firecrackers. Therefore, if any of you ladies here use this medicinal ingredient, it is not a big deal.

But the problem is, I just saw some realgar wine in the Imperial Concubine's wine glass. This is like a medicine lead, which has aroused the toxicity of the thunder fire vine used by the Imperial Concubine. If it is exposed to the smell of saltpeter at this time, it will be bad.

Your Majesty's skin is so delicate, it can't stand the stimulation from both sides, which caused the rash to break out!"

After hearing what the imperial physician said, everyone in the hall suddenly understood.

That's it!

De Fei immediately said, "Since you didn't misdiagnose her, then treat the Imperial Noble Consort immediately. Look, in the time we've been talking, the red spots on the Imperial Noble Consort's face seem to have gotten worse. Is it my eyes or is it blurry?"

"It's not that my eyes are blurry, it's indeed true!" Concubine Shun whispered beside her.

Fei Wan covered her face with her sleeves, this time she covered it tightly, covering her cheeks and forehead.

But people who sit close can still see a little from the side.

As the imperial physician explained in detail, the red spots on her face deepened in color, and the areas that were not red before also turned red.

It seems that the disease has developed extremely quickly!

For a moment, everyone who was on good terms with Fei Wan became anxious.

"Hurry up and save the Imperial Concubine!"

"What should I do? It's so serious, will it leave scars?"

"Of course not, don't talk nonsense! Your Majesty is blessed by heaven and has always been extremely lucky. Have you forgotten?"

Empress Yan left the table and walked over to Fei Wan. She lifted her sleeve and took a look at her. She immediately urged the doctor, "Use the medicine quickly!"

"Yes, yes, first, please ask the Imperial Concubine to use the 'Cooling Powder' and apply a thick layer on the affected area."

The imperial physician took out a box of detoxifying and relieving ointment from his medicine box.

This is a common medicine used to treat rashes.

The effectiveness is average. You can use this on any rash on the skin. It is mainly used to relieve itching and moisturize the skin.

It is not targeted at poisoning caused by thunderfire vine.

Unexpected things often happen at palace banquets, and the imperial doctors have learned a lot from them. They always have medicines for treating skin on hand and can use them at any time.

Queen Yan naturally also understood this commonly used medicine.

While asking the maid to apply medicine to Fei Wan, she scolded the doctor: "What's the point of just using this? Come up with a proper solution!"

"Yes, yes!" The imperial physician wiped his sweat, quickly wrote a prescription on the spot, and asked someone to get the medicine and boil it.

This will take some time and cannot be used immediately. Even if it is used, it will not be effective immediately.

Seeing Fei Wan's swollen eyelids, Empress Yan said anxiously, "Sister, go to the back hall and rest first. We'll think of a solution. Don't worry. I'm afraid it will only make things worse. How do you feel now? Besides itching, do you have any other symptoms?"

"I feel cold." Fei Wan shivered.

The imperial physician said this was a common symptom of thunderfire vine poisoning.

You may also have a fever, depending on your physical condition.

"Now you understand it now. Why can't you come up with an immediate treatment method?" Queen Yan scolded him.

The imperial physician kept his head down and continued writing prescriptions and dietary restrictions.

Concubine Heqing, who had been resting in silence, spoke in a gentle voice at this time.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry yet. Let the Imperial Concubine rest. You still have things to do."

Concubine Heqing's tone was calm, but everyone could hear the profound meaning in it.

Queen Yan personally escorted Fei Wan to the back hall, and Concubine De, Yu Sujin, and Chen Guiren followed behind. Together, they settled Fei Wan in the warm pavilion with hanging flowers.

After leaving a few people to take care of Fei Wan, Queen Yan hurried back to the main hall.

"Your Majesty, are you tired? Your injuries haven't healed yet, and it's late. Would you please go back and rest early? I will take care of everything here and give you an explanation."

She was concerned about the emperor first.

This is a courtesy.

After all, the emperor was injured and needed to go to bed early after a night of banquets. The judge of the Academy of Literature had warned that it would be best not to let the emperor stay up all night to avoid affecting his health.

But now that something has happened and Fei Wan's face has become like that, Queen Yan thought that the emperor should be waiting here.

Unexpectedly, the emperor nodded.

"Okay, I'll go back first. Cao Bin, leave some people here to help."

He stood up.

Queen Yan was surprised.

However, she immediately concealed her surprise, stepped forward with a smile to support the emperor, comforted him in a gentle voice, and sent him to the warm sedan chair.

"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"

Queen Yan led the concubines to pay their respects in front of the hall and watched the emperor's sedan chair go away.

Thinking back to before the banquet, the Emperor and Fei Wan got out of the sedan chair hand in hand, Empress Yan's smile turned cold.

appearance!

Beauty!

It is indeed the amulet and the key to advancement for the women in the harem!

Fei Wan was stunningly beautiful tonight, so she was treated well by the emperor.

Now that something had happened to her face, the emperor didn't want to look at her anymore, and didn't even want to stay and wait for the results.

The emperor was indeed tired and looked exhausted, but considering his great favor towards Fei Wan, he should have managed to stay.

How deep can his love be?

Queen Yan had already seen through this, so she didn't worry about it.

He turned around and led the concubines back to the main hall.

"The Imperial Concubine's condition is not stable yet. I'm sure everyone is worried about her. Please wait here with me."

After Queen Yan said this, no one dared to leave first.

The judge of the Academy of Literature who was not on duty tonight arrived with two imperial physicians who were good at treating skin symptoms.

They were summoned after the incident and hurried into the palace.

I went to the back hall to check and confirmed that the imperial physician's diagnosis was correct; it was indeed thunderfire vine poisoning. The prescription was also correct, so I followed the imperial physician's instructions and would adjust the situation later.

Empress Yan asked him, "President Wenyuan, tell me the truth. Is this poison serious? How long will it take to heal? Will it affect the Imperial Concubine's appearance?"

Everyone in the hall pricked up their ears to listen.

Everyone can see that the Imperial Concubine is the most stunning one in the room tonight.

If this damages my appearance, then...

No matter how high the status of a woman in the palace is, without her beauty she will become a rootless drifting duckweed!

The judge of the Wenyuan Court replied cautiously, "This poison is cold in nature. The Imperial Concubine has suffered numerous injuries and illnesses over the past year, leaving her physically weak. Therefore, the attack will be more severe than others. I just took her pulse, and she is in a relatively stable condition. If she can remain stable for three days and not have a fever, then after about half a month of recovery, her appearance should not be affected."

"Okay, now I'm relieved. You, the Imperial Hospital, should give your full attention to the treatment. Don't delay the Imperial Concubine because of the New Year, otherwise I will hold you accountable. Of course, if the treatment is successful, I will reward you handsomely!"

Queen Yan sent the imperial doctors away and got down to business.

Scanning the room, she said in a deep voice, "I just asked the Imperial Concubine, and she hasn't used any medications containing Thunder Fire Vine recently. So, how did she get poisoned? I ask all the sisters to work together with me to find the cause!"
