The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Chapter 38 Imperial Concubine: What are you hiding from me?

The things that he had been sure of for a long time were overturned. Jiang Lingyue felt a black screen in front of his eyes, as if he was hit by a heavy object, making a buzzing sound.

Could it be that her poison was not given by a concubine in the harem?

But apart from the concubines in the harem, who else would wish her dead?

In a trance, a figure flashed through Jiang Lingyue's mind.

...Shen family.

Yes, there is also the Shen family.

It's ridiculous that Shen couldn't tolerate her daughter, who could be sent away with just a dowry.

At the beginning, just because of her face that resembled her biological mother, Shen Shi wanted to treat her biological mother as a concubine. However, she couldn't even pretend to be kind to her face.

After years of cold treatment, they had developed an irreconcilable grudge. Shen had only one daughter, and her stepdaughter, with whom she had already made a grudge, took the position of the eldest daughter in the general's mansion. How could Shen tolerate this?

Later, as she grew older and became more and more beautiful, he became more wary of her.

The Chen family came to propose marriage for their eldest son, which was considered marrying up for the Jiang family, which had already begun to decline. However, Shen, as the mistress of the Jiang family, directly declined the marriage.

Because she would not allow her stepdaughter, who had been under her control since childhood, to turn her life around through marriage.

To her, Jiang Lingyue was already an enemy.

Or he is the kind of enemy who will make life difficult for you once he gains power.

So Shen decided to marry her stepdaughter to her nephew from her natal family to ensure that she would never make any waves in her life.

And his own daughter can marry into a wealthy family and look down upon this elder sister.

The Shen family was about to succeed, but an imperial decree for selecting a concubine ruined the plan.

The new emperor was selecting concubines. Jiang Lingxin was only fourteen years old at the time and had not yet reached the age of marriage. She was the only daughter of the right age in the Jiang family.

Jiang Shao was a cautious person. Even if he indulged Shen, he could not let the new emperor feel that the Jiang family was disrespectful to him and not let any of his daughters run for the election.

Only then did Jiang Lingyue have the opportunity to escape from Shen's control.

But, would Shen really be so cruel as to poison her when she was about to enter the palace?

Are you afraid that she will retaliate after gaining your favor?

...It really seems like something that Shen would do.

Besides...

Jiang Lingyue suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the man who was staring at the miracle doctor.

He said that day that the Shen family was originally from Lingnan and had many strange and bizarre poisons. Was it because he had known for a long time that the poison in her body was given by the Shen family?

Noticing her gaze, Qi Junyi looked over.

The first thing I saw was the little girl with a dull expression and blank eyes, like a frightened deer.

Qi Junyi's heart softened. He held her other hand and squeezed it gently. "Don't be afraid. I just want the doctor to check my pulse. It's nothing serious."

He was very skilled in coaxing people, and Liu Rong was no longer surprised, but Xie Mo, who was standing beside him, almost dropped his jaw in shock.

Is this still the same emperor who had no desire for women, who even had to ask his ministers for help in choosing a concubine, who was over 20 years old and had not even had a child in his harem?

He cautiously glanced at the woman sitting on the soft chair from the corner of his eye.

I guess this must be the Concubine Chen who has been enjoying the emperor's favor recently.

The miracle doctor who came from thousands of miles away was for her.

The Qingqiancao should also be for her.

And the Concentrating Pills...

After thinking about all these things one by one, Xie Mo, a cruel official known for his ruthless methods and cruelty, was trembling in his heart.

Look at this posture, it really caught the eye of His Majesty.

In fact,... it's more than just pleasing to the eye.

Everyone in the hall had different thoughts, only Doctor Li was concentrating on taking the patient's pulse.

This pulse diagnosis took nearly half an hour.

By the time it was over, Jiang Lingyue's wrist was numb. As she was rubbing it, she heard the doctor say, "The Queen has been poisoned."

She paused.

Doctor Li stroked his beard, his face full of emotion, "I haven't seen it for many years. I didn't expect it to still exist in the world."

Qi Junyi said: "Divine Doctor, why don't you just speak frankly."

His tone was dull, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, but he was so majestic that people dared not act presumptuously for no reason.

Doctor Li's sighing expression suddenly subsided, and he said seriously, "This poison is called the Immortal Drunk. It's colorless and odorless, and its effect is slow, but it can slowly penetrate into the lungs and bone marrow. The poisoned person will become weaker without knowing it, but they won't be able to find out the cause, and will simply think it's their own poor health."

He paused at this point before continuing, "Eventually, his bones became weak, his entire body became feeble, and he became extremely debilitated. He died of illness and frailty."

Weak and decayed, he died of illness...

Jiang Lingyue's face turned pale when she heard this.

Wasn't she like this in her previous life? She would gasp for breath if she got out of bed and took a few more steps.

The gods are drunk.

It turned out that her bones were drunk.

In her previous life, she only knew that she was poisoned until her death.

No one knew what the poison was called or who administered it.

He refused to tell her.

Why won’t you tell her!

What on earth had he been hiding from her?

She believed until her death that she died from the infighting in the harem and from being too favored.

Qi Junyi folded his fingers slightly and pinched her stiff fingertips to comfort her. He then looked up at Doctor Li and asked, "Is there a cure for this poison?"

"I can." Doctor Li answered firmly.

The stagnant atmosphere in the hall unconsciously relaxed a little.

Only Qi Junyi remained calm, "How do you prepare the antidote?"

"There are dozens of strange poisons in the world. Compared to those poisons that kill people on contact with blood, the poison of the Immortal Drunkenness is nothing. The reason it is so famous is that by the time people who are poisoned by it realize they are poisoned, most of them have already been poisoned to the bone, making it difficult to remove."

Doctor Li smiled calmly, "Your Majesty's situation is different. Your pulse shows that the poisoning is not serious. You are at an age full of vitality. It should not be too difficult to detoxify."

Qi Junyi was shocked by the answer that was completely different from his previous life. "What do you need?"

"They are just some common herbs. Snow lotus seeds and purple-leafed Polygonum multiflorum are the only rare ones. However, we have them readily available in Divine Doctor Valley." Divine Doctor Li thought for a moment, frowning slightly, and said, "The most important ingredient is missing."

Xie Mo froze, guessing something.

Then he heard his Majesty say stiffly, "...Hundred-year-old Qingqian Grass?"

Thinking of the cruel officials of the imperial court who had rushed into the valley and learned that the Qingqian grass had been taken, and who were eager to remove the medicine from the person's stomach, the old doctor shook his head repeatedly, "The poison in the queen's body is very mild, there is no need for the hundred-year-old Qingqian grass as medicine."

"The medicine is the Blood Spirit Ginseng," he said. "The poison of the Immortal Intoxicant is the most damaging to the body's vitality. Without the Blood Spirit Ginseng as a guide, even if the poison is removed, it will still harm your lifespan."

Blood ginseng, especially aged ones, is extremely rare. Even the Divine Doctor Valley, where spiritual medicines are everywhere, has no stock of it.

Unexpectedly, the emperor, who had remained calm until then, asked, "Is the only thing missing the Blood Spirit Ginseng?"

Doctor Li thought about it and nodded in confirmation, "The only thing missing is the Blood Spirit Ginseng."

The moment the words fell, Jiang Lingyue, who had been listening throughout the entire process, felt a sudden pain in her finger.

She subconsciously raised her eyes and saw that the emperor beside her had a calm expression, as if it was not him who suddenly held her hand.

"The Blood Spirit Ginseng is in the palace and can be taken anytime," Qi Junyi said, "Thank you, doctor, for preparing the antidote. If you can cure the patient, I will reward you handsomely."

"I dare not, I dare not," Doctor Li waved his hands hurriedly, "I have been practicing medicine all my life, and curing illnesses and saving lives is my duty. My only wish for the rest of my life is to carry forward the name of the Divine Doctor Valley."

There are many famous doctors in the world, and the Valley of Divine Doctors is only well-known in the Jiangnan Road. Outside the south, few people know about it.

I don't seek wealth or power, I just seek fame.

Qi Junyi agreed.

However, the preparation of the antidote will be delayed for some time. Many medicinal materials are still in the Divine Doctor Valley, and it will take at least another month to go back and forth.

Doctor Li took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and said, "Here is a pill for concentrating the mind. It can nourish the mind and concentrate the energy, resist external evil, and delay the spread of poison."

Liu Rong, who was standing by, took it, checked it, and then handed it to Qi Junyi with both hands.

Sure enough, the Ningshen Pill was also found for Concubine Jieyu.

Xie Mo lowered his eyebrows and eyes, breathing slowly and weakly.

The importance of this suddenly emerging Concubine Chen was greatly increased in my mind.

Which other concubine in the harem can be so cherished by the current emperor?

...How great good fortune one must have in the future to deserve such cherishment.

When several people left the hall, Xie Mo's eyes accidentally fell on the strange thing in the food box. The commander with unfathomable martial arts skills immediately staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Liu Rong hurried to help, his eyes subconsciously fell over, and then he paused.

Jiang Lingyue: “…”
