Seizing the throne, abolishing the adopted son, the imperial concubine rose to prominence

"Ning'er!"

"master!"

"Mother!"

Gu Youning's appearance caught everyone in the room off guard, and exclamations rang in Gu Youning's ears one after another.

But at the moment she had no time to care about these things. She vomited out the medicine and the breakfast she had eaten earlier. Not only that, even when her stomach was empty, Gu Youning did not stop and continued to vomit acid water.

"Pass on the royal doctor."

The emperor originally thought that Gu Youning could not stand the bitter taste of the medicine, but when he saw that Gu Youning vomited and his face was pale, he became anxious.

"Slave, go now."

Tan Yin and Xian Yin were also startled, especially Tan Yin, whose face turned pale with fright. She thought there was something wrong with the medicine, and she was so scared that she staggered and ran out.

Gu Youning was already vomiting so much that acid was coming out of his mouth, but the nausea still did not go away.

Looking at the woman vomiting non-stop, the emperor and Tan Yin had the same worry, but they also had a faint hope in their hearts. Ning'er looked like this, could it be that she was pregnant?

After all, since Ning'er returned to the palace, he has stayed in Changchun Palace for many days.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but feel some irrepressible joy and excitement in his heart.

Gu Youning had no idea what the emperor was thinking. When she finally stopped vomiting, she had no strength left in her body and could only lean softly in the emperor's arms.

Xianyu and others quickly took the palace maids to clean up the filth on the ground.

"Would you like some water?"

The emperor's hands holding the teacup were shaking slightly with excitement.

Gu Youning nodded slightly, put the wine to his mouth and took a few sips, and the nausea finally subsided a lot.

"Are you feeling any other discomfort? Does your stomach hurt?"

The emperor asked attentively.

"I am much better."

Gu Youning had recovered a little, and she found the emperor's words a bit strange. She spat out the medicine as soon as it entered her throat, and it didn't go down at all. How could her stomach hurt?

"That's good, that's good!"

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. He even forgot that Yuan Cai had just taken Gu Youning's pulse half an hour ago. If she was pregnant, she should have found out by then.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Yuan Cai almost jogged in.

"Go and see Zhaoyi quickly."

There was an irrepressible anticipation in the emperor's voice.

"Yes."

Yuan Cai hurried forward.

"How is it? How is Concubine Gu? But..."

The emperor was actually standing beside the couch, staring intently at Yuan Cai and Gu Youning's stomachs.

At this time, Gu Youning also realized why the emperor was acting strangely just now. He suspected that her vomiting was not only because she was pregnant.

Seeing the emperor unable to hide his excitement, Gu Youning's eyes unconsciously fell on the purse at his waist.

"Except for catching a cold just now, Zhaoyi is fine."

After taking the pulse, Yuan Cai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it was for the emperor's promise or for Gu Zhaoyi's kindness to him as a mentor, he didn't want anything to happen to Gu Zhaoyi.

"No... no other symptoms? Didn't Gu Zhaoyi vomit like this just now..."

The emperor was so proud of his status that he didn't say out loud that he suspected Gu Youning was pregnant.

"What did the Queen use before?"

Seeing that the emperor was interested, and seeing that Zhaoyi's face was indeed too pale, Yuan Cai asked respectfully.

"The master took the medicine prescribed by the master, and he vomited uncontrollably after taking a sip."

Tan Yin pointed to the bowl of medicine that had been placed on the table.

"The medicine prescribed by this humble minister?"

"Shouldn't it?"

Hearing that Gu Youning was like this because he drank his own medicine, Yuan Cai couldn't help but murmur, he dared not delay the matter of Gu Zhaoyi and her son. He personally watched over the decoction of the medicine and didn't even miss an eye in the Imperial Hospital.

After confirming that Gu Youning was not pregnant, a hint of disappointment flashed in the emperor's eyes, but his expression turned cold again.

Ning'er's vomiting just now was definitely not normal. Could it be that someone attacked Ning'er and her son again?

"Go check."

"Yes!"

Yuan Cai quickly stood up and walked to the table. He picked up the bowl of medicine and smelled it carefully. Then his face turned stern. He then dipped a little with his finger and put it to the tip of his nose.

Gu Youning felt a chill in his heart when he saw Yuan Cai's expression.

She thought it was a resistance and aversion to medicine brought from her previous life, and didn't think about anything else.

"Your Majesty, this medicine contains oleander powder and crested red."

Yuan Cai fell to his knees with cold sweat dripping down his face.

"Crane's Crown Red?"

The emperor stood up suddenly, the anger on his face was terrifying, and the pressure from him almost made Yuan Cai in front of him lose her voice.

"Yes, fortunately, Your Majesty didn't drink it and vomited it all out, otherwise..."

"But I can guarantee that this medicine will be fine before it leaves the Imperial Hospital."

Yuan Cai kowtowed hurriedly.

"Zheng'er! Imperial Physician Yuan, come and take a look at Zheng'er."

When Gu Youning heard about the poisonous drug, her heart went cold. She didn't drink it, but her son had just drunk the whole bowl of medicine.

"Yes, quickly check the eldest prince's pulse."

When the emperor first heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

"Yes."

Yuan Cai crawled quickly to the bed on his knees before he could even stand up.

"It's okay, Zheng'er should be fine."

After getting anxious, the emperor calmed down. The red-crowned crane is highly poisonous. If it really entered his stomach, Zheng'er would not be safe and sound until now.

Sure enough, after Yuan Cai took Xiao Yunzheng's pulse, his tense expression relaxed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the eldest prince is fine."

"I remember that in the food box just now, the master's bowl of medicine was placed on the top, and the eldest prince's was at the bottom."

Tan Yin said beside him.

"Indeed, the eldest prince is young, and a strong medicine might harm his health. I was afraid the palace servants might make a mistake, so I put two layers on purpose."

Yuan Cai was extremely grateful at this moment. If not for this, Concubine Gu would have escaped. However, based on the amount of arsenic in the medicine, the eldest prince would have definitely died.

"Cao Zhong, go check. Has anyone touched this medicine along the way from the Imperial Hospital to Ci'an Palace?"

The emperor said coldly.

"Yes!"

Cao Zhong's face was also very bad. It was common for concubines in the harem to fight with each other, but someone was so vicious and bold as to use the poison of crane's beak, which was to kill Gu Zhaoyi and her son.

Unlike Cao Zhong, Gu Youning realized something was wrong after calming down after learning that his son was fine.

The medicine already contains argentea vermilion, which is enough to kill them and their child. Why add oleander powder to it?

"Don't be afraid. I will find the culprit and cut him into pieces."

The emperor thought the woman's stunned look meant she was frightened, so he whispered in her ear to comfort her.

"Your Majesty, who is so cruel? It's ok for him to be jealous of me, but why doesn't he even let Zheng'er go?"

"Zheng'er and I have been living in Ci'an Palace, following the celestial phenomena. Why are these people still unwilling to let me and my son go? Why? They are so vicious!"

Gu Youning pushed the emperor away, sat on the couch, and hugged his confused son tightly in his arms. His originally clear eyes were filled with blood-red anger and hatred, which stunned the emperor for a moment.

"Don't be afraid, mother. Father is here and he will definitely protect us."

Xiao Yunzheng didn't know what Crane's Beak Red was, but he was born smart and knew from the looks on people's faces that it was not a good thing.

He could sense his mother's fear, but he was too young to be her support. However, in his mind, his father was the most powerful person and could protect his mother.

As long as he wants.

Although Xiao Yunzheng did not admire his father as much as before, he said this sincerely.

But these childish words of affirmation stopped the emperor in his tracks as he was about to step forward to comfort the mother and child.

He just realized that his love for the woman was just that, and now he was slapped hard in the face.

Before his eyes, the woman and offspring he cared about were almost poisoned to death, and perhaps he was the instigator of all this. If he could settle the discussions in the court, if he could be firm that day, Ning'er and the others would not be troubled by Shouchang today, and the current situation would not have happened.

"Call all the concubines to the main hall in the rear hall."

The emperor ordered in a cold voice.

"The Imperial Concubine and Lady Yan also want..."

The eunuch of Qianming Palace knelt down and responded, then asked hesitantly.

"Spread the word to everyone, no one can be left behind."
