Chapter 325 Consultation Results
Concubine Li interrupted the unspoken apology in the emperor's throat.
"You are interested." The emperor sighed, but he did not reject Concubine Li's proposal.
Concubine Li was relieved in her heart, originally she wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
Unexpectedly, Niu Niu suddenly said: "Uncle Emperor, I also want to accompany the Queen Mother."
When Concubine Li heard this, she immediately looked unhappy and said, "How old are you? Do you know how to take care of people? Besides, the Queen Mother is now like this, and it has nothing to do with your bad luck!"
When Niu Niu heard this, she lowered her head sadly.
The emperor nodded and said, "Niuniu, there are a lot of things going on here, so don't make any trouble here."
Niu Niu stood up helplessly, but the little girl's little hand was firmly grasped by the Queen Mother, and she couldn't break free for a while.
When the emperor saw this situation, he was stunned for a moment.
Concubine Li immediately stepped forward and tried to pull out Niu Niu's hand.
"It hurts!" Niu Niu shouted.
Concubine Li immediately said: "I didn't use much strength!"
But the emperor on the side could clearly see that there were blue and purple marks on the little girl's delicate and white wrists.
The emperor looked at the imperial concubine in disbelief.
The imperial concubine went crazy and said, "Your Majesty, I really didn't use much effort!"
Concubine Li was filled with regret at this time. If she had known that Niuniu's skin was so delicate, she should not have taken the initiative in a hurry just now. For a person of her status, she should have let the maid next to her do it.
Luo Meiren knew that she had offended the imperial concubine a long time ago, so she no longer had any scruples, and said: "The imperial concubine, the empress dowager wants to keep Niuniu, why do you need to anger her? She is only a six-year-old child. !”
When Concubine Li heard this, her nose was so angry that smoke was coming out, and she glared at Luo Meiren fiercely.
Luo Meiren continued: "The Empress Dowager loves Niu Niu very much, and Niu Niu is also filial to her. They are like ancestors and grandchildren, so she left Niu Niu here to help take care of her. This child has a well-behaved temperament and will not cause trouble. Why is it in the way of the imperial concubine? Where are the eyes?”
Concubine Li looked at Luo Meiren and said in a strange tone: "I don't know that Luo Meiren is so eloquent."
Luo Meiren lowered her head slightly and said: "I just told a few truths. If the imperial concubine says this, then I can't argue with you."
Concubine Li still wanted to speak.
The emperor was already a little impatient and said, "Okay, stop arguing."
The emperor became angry, and Concubine Li and Luo Meiren did not dare to continue talking.
Only Niu Niu looked at the emperor pitifully and asked: "Your Majesty, uncle, must the person who takes care of the Queen Mother be the imperial concubine? What about the people who took care of the Queen Mother in the past?"
The emperor was also prejudged by Concubine Li and asked the concubine to take care of the queen mother. He also thought that if the queen mother was poisoned, she would probably be inseparable from the people around her, so he thought of separating them.
Now that Niuniu reminded him like this, he seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses, thinking that the person waiting next to him might not be trustworthy, but the old man who was often used by the Queen Mother was naturally no problem.
"Mother Li, you will take care of my mother here wholeheartedly." The emperor said to Grandma Li.
Aunt Li responded respectfully.
While he was talking, Qian Rongsheng came in with two old doctors. He ran to the emperor and whispered back.
It is extremely rare to find two old doctors in such a short period of time. One of them is the father of a young doctor at the scene.
Without receiving any warning in advance, the two old doctors were in a state of ignorance when diagnosing the pulse, so their pulse diagnosis results were very objective.
The poison in the Queen Mother's body was not so easy to detect. The two of them took her pulse carefully for a long time. Qian Rongsheng did not give them a chance to communicate, so he urged them to tell them the diagnosis results.
One of them stood up and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother was poisoned..."
Another old doctor nodded frequently and occasionally added a few words.
What these two people said was not much different from what Dr. Liu said.
The emperor's expression suddenly changed. If the Queen Mother's severe pain was due to poisoning, then the nature of the matter would have completely changed.
Luo Meiren said from the side: "Your Majesty, the three imperial doctors have all concluded that it was poisoning. Niu Niu is innocent. Not only is she not unlucky, she also saved the Queen Mother!"
The emperor saw Luo Meiren kneeling on the ground for so long, just to plead for Niu Niu's innocence, but he couldn't bear it and said, "Get up first and give me a seat."
"Dad, is it really poisoning? Why do I think it's because of overwork?" a young imperial doctor whispered.
The old doctor glared at his son, reached out and slapped his son hard on the forehead, and cursed: "You are not a good scholar! How dare you come out and embarrass yourself! Didn't you notice anything was wrong when you diagnosed the pulse?"
Doctor Li was about to die at this time, but he still said harshly: "I think he was right..."
Naturally, it was impossible for the old doctor to change his opinion because of the words of his former colleague. Instead, he took out a silver needle from the medicine box on the spot, burned it with fire, and stuck it between the Queen Mother's wrists.
When the silver needle was taken out, it was already covered with a slight black unknown substance.
"Even if the pulse cannot be detected, why not test the poison with a needle?" the old doctor asked.
Originally it was only said that the results were different after taking the pulse, but now that the silver needles were delivered to him, there was no reason to refute it.
The emperor took a deep look at Dr. Li, and then said: "Two old doctors, Dr. Liu, and the Queen Mother will be left to the care of you three."
The three of them bowed and agreed.
Concubine Li asked the emperor softly: "Your Majesty, is it decided? Will you not call a few more doctors?"
The emperor looked at Concubine Li deeply and invited her into the side hall.
He waved his hand and no one else was in the room.
Seeing this, Concubine Li was delighted.
"I remember that Doctor Li seems to be from the same hometown as Concubine?" asked the emperor.
After hearing this, Concubine Li immediately said: "I vaguely remember such a thing, but the doctor I usually use is Doctor Zhang, and I don't have much contact with Doctor Li."
The emperor carefully looked at her expression and asked: "Really?"
Concubine Li said: "Your Majesty, are you doubting me by saying this? I just said a few words for Doctor Li, purely because he is from the same hometown. How could I know that this person is not good at medicine and is just a show!"
The emperor's doubts were mostly eliminated.
Concubine Li continued, "I have never thought that someone would be so bold as to poison the Empress Dowager in the imperial palace! Your Majesty, this time you must not only investigate the servants around the Empress Dowager, but also the people around you. Don't let the traitors take advantage of the opportunity!"
