"You!" Chun guipin reflexively raised her hand but was stopped by Liang guipin.
Liang guipin said: "I didn't know guipin Ning was so eloquent before, reversing right and wrong."
Ning guipin's expression was cold and said: "Consort Yan jiejie's condition will be arranged by the people in her palace. I advise you two to take care of your hands. Otherwise, if one day someone cuts your arm or shoulder, you will know the pain."
Seeing that the three were about to quarrel, Green Waist came out to greet and said: "Our niangniang has just woken up and heard guipin Ning guipin, Chun guipin, and Liang guipin are worried outside. Nubi has come out to inform you that our niangniang is well. Ning guipin, Chun guipin, and Liang guipin, please be at ease.
Chun guipin said worriedly: "Since jiejie has woken up, we want to go in and see. Even if it's just a few words through the curtain, we just want to be at ease."
Green Waist stopped her and said: "Many thanks for Chun guipin's concern, but right now, the Imperial Physician Of Qin is inside checking niangniang's pulse. It is not appropriate to disturb her. Please go back."
Liang guipin saw that guipin Ning and Green Waist were not giving way and hid behind guipin Chun. She pulled on her sleeve and said: "Since Consort Yan has said so, then Chun jiejie and I will go back and wait for news. Where is Ning jiejie?"
Ning guipin only silently turned her face away and ignored her provocation. Chun guipin snorted and pulled Liang guipin a few steps. She turned back and said, "Pretending to be noble."
"Ning guipin?"
Ning guipin's expression softened slightly and said: "Gu doesn't have to worry about me. I will wait here and not go in. If Consort Yan is well, just let me know." Green Waist had no choice but to let her go. When she went in, she ordered the palace maids to not let her near.
In the inner room, Bai Suyan's condition was not good. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, it was like she had lost too much blood. Her vision was white and the sounds in her ears were indistinct as if there was something in between. Her body was heavy and cold, like something was quickly sucking her blood and her temperature.
Xia Zhi was so anxious her face was full of tears, "Imperial Physician Of Qin, didn't Lord Qin say that sixty percent was gone? Why is niangniang's' Dark Moon 'relapsing?"
"Quiet," Qin Buxun's brows furrowed tightly, his face serious, "It's not 'Dark Moon' anymore. Have you given her other medicine recently?"
Xia Zhi and Winter Solstice knelt in unison and said they didn't dare. Xia Zhi was sobbing so hard she couldn't speak. Winter Solstice said: "This concerns our niangniang's life. Nubi wouldn't dare to use other medicine. Daren, you said that 'Dark Moon' would become a mixed poison if we used even a little bit of medicine. We don't even dare to put wolfberries in our daily food. Nubi wouldn't dare."
Qin Buxun said with a heavy face: "I don't know what other medicine she took. 'Dark Moon' is no longer 'Dark Moon'."
Xia Zhi suddenly jumped up and slammed her head against the wall. If Green Waist hadn't come in at the right time and caught her, her head would have been broken and bleeding. Winter Solstice followed closely behind and grabbed her, "Xia Zhi, what are you doing?"
Xia Zhi said in a hoarse voice, "It's my fault. I'm niangniang's personal physician. I'm responsible for niangniang's diet. Now that niangniang has become like this, it's all my fault!"
Qin Buxun hated women crying the most. It was so noisy that it gave him a headache. "Enough, are you crying at a funeral? Shut up!" Xia Zhi opened her mouth after being reprimanded, but she couldn't make a sound.
"Get ready. We can only go through blood transfusion."
"Blood transfusion?" Xia Zhi said in disbelief, "Lord Qin, blood transfusion is to draw out all the blood in a person's body, filter it with medicine, and send it back. It's extremely dangerous. If something goes wrong, our niangniang will lose her life!"
"Other than this, can you think of a better way?" Qin Buxun didn't dare to say that he was 100% confident, but he was helpless at the moment. Bai Suyan was already dying. The poison of "Dark Moon" was that all the medicine that entered the mouth would be catalyzed into other poisons, thus making it impossible for doctors to treat her. They could only use medicinal baths and acupuncture to remove the poison. Now, there was no time for them to analyze the poison and formulate an antidote.
After a night of torment, Bai Suyan slowly woke up at dawn. Seeing the twins with red eyes, she moved her mouth but couldn't make a sound. Winter Solstice said, "Niangniang, please rest first. You've been poisoned. Lord Qin just performed acupuncture for niangniang. It's normal for niangniang to feel exhausted."
Poisoned? Bai Suyan tried hard to recall what happened last night. She didn't eat much at the banquet, so how could she be poisoned? However, blood transfusion was extremely draining. After waking up for a while, she fell into a deep sleep again.
The palace servant guarding the door came in and whispered in Green Waist's ear, "Gu Gu, Noble Concubine Ning has been standing for the entire night."
Green Waist was surprised and followed her out. Noble Concubine Ning was an unmarried daughter and had just recovered from her illness. Although the summer nights weren't cold, one night was enough for her to suffer.
Seeing Green Waist come out, Noble Concubine Ning went forward and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is Consort Yan well?"
Green Waist bowed and said, "Niangniang has already woken up. Don't worry, Master Ning. Please return."
"Then I'm relieved. If there's anything you need my help with, Gu Gu can come to Chrysanthemum Hall to find me."
"Farewell, Noble Concubine Ning."
Not long after Noble Concubine Ning returned to Chrysanthemum Hall, news spread that she had fallen ill. The people by her side hurriedly called for a taiyi. Shuangbo Palace was once again noisy.
This morning, Shuangbo Palace was one less person after the morning greetings, and it was the position of the head of the palace. Naturally, it became the latest topic of discussion in the palace.
Yan Guiren supported Noble Concubine An and followed behind Concubine Jing. Hearing the chatter of the palace maids, she also found it strange and asked, "Consort Yan looked fine yesterday. Why did she suddenly fall ill?"
Concubine Jing was still young at the moment. Wearing a loose dress, it didn't show that she was pregnant. However, Cai Ju and Zhe Man still carefully guarded her on both sides. "Since they called for a taiyi in the middle of the night, it must be a serious illness. As the saying goes, 'Illness comes like a landslide, and illness goes like silk.' Life is unpredictable. I will visit her personally after the greetings. You and Noble Concubine An can go back first.
Take care of yourself. "" Sister, it's better if you don't go in person. It won't be good if you get bumped into. " Noble Concubine An's pregnancy had been really difficult. She had encountered many disasters, but other than her belly, she hadn't gained any weight.
Concubine Jing comforted her, "It's fine. I will just ask a few questions at the door. I won't go in."
After the people from Fengzhi Palace had left, Concubine Mu led the people from Snowrest Palace over. Palace Maid Xu held her arm and whispered, "Would you like to visit Shuangbo Palace as well, Concubine Mu?"
Concubine Mu waved the gold-threaded palace fan with an ivory handle and said, "No need. I am not familiar with Consort Yan. I would only get into trouble if I went. Speaking of which, Concubine Zhao, did you come back in time last night?"
Today, Concubine Zhao was somewhat mischievous. She said, "Mu fei niangniang, there is no need to ask about this matter in the Empress Dowager's palace. Not only will it make the Empress Dowager unhappy, it will also make the other palaces laugh at our Resting Snow Palace."
Concubine Mu turned around, her eyes as piercing as ice, and said, "Where did you go last night?"
Concubine Zhao said, "Concubine Zhao knows that I am just a small concubine. I didn't have a Luan sedan to ride on, so I could only walk slowly. I walked and stopped on the way to enjoy the Mid-Autumn scenery, so I was a little slow. I was on my way back to Snowrest Palace the entire time and didn't stray even a little bit."
"That had better be the case. If I find out that Consort Yan's matter is related to you, I will immediately hand you over to the Empress Dowager!" Concubine Mu turned around and walked with an arrogant attitude.
"Concubine understands." Concubine Zhao bent her knees in a perfunctory manner. When she got up, she glanced at Concubine Jin, who was a little restless. She curled her lips and followed.
The only person in this group who was truly worried about Bai Suyan's situation was Concubine Jin. She had just expressed her intention to surrender to Bai Suyan. There was some sincerity mixed with insincerity. If Bai Suyan couldn't even discover such a simple trap and avoid it, how could she dare to cooperate with her?
The fight for the position of the Empress was no less dangerous than the fight for the throne. If she wasn't careful, the one to fall would not only be her, but also the Jin family behind her. She now regretted listening to Consort Yan's suggestion and asking her maternal family to investigate Shen Man'er's matter.
But sometimes, what one feared would happen. When Empress Dowager Wang asked Concubine Mu and Concubine Jin to stay, she leisurely said, "Concubine Jin, your mother handed over a token today. Liusu, wear the Ministry of Works Assistant Minister Furen."
Concubine Jin's mother, Chen shi, entered the hall and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager Wang said she was excused and didn't urge her to stay. She didn't even let the servants serve tea, directly saying, "You mother and daughter rarely see each other. Aijia won't keep Chen furen any longer. Follow your daughter."
Concubine Jin and Chen shi both bowed again to express their thanks. Concubine Mu was the head of the Resting Snow Palace, so she needed to be informed of these matters. At this time, she went forward to greet, saying, "Then, Muhou, chenqie will first bring Concubine Jin and Chen furen back to the palace." Receiving approval, the three retreated out of Sleeping Moon Hall.
Because of etiquette, Chen shi had to first go to Concubine Mu's Hall of Understanding before going to her daughter's Hall of Glory. Once they reached the Hall of Understanding, it was Concubine Mu who had the final say.
"Chen furen, please sit. Shanhu, serve tea." Chen shi could only helplessly sit. Concubine Jin had no reason to leave and also sat down.
Concubine Mu smiled faintly at the banquet and asked about family matters, "I heard that in early spring in the third month, Old Madame Jin fell ill. Unfortunately, ben gong was already in the palace at that time and could not personally visit her. Is she better now?"
Chen shi respectfully said: "Many thanks for niangniang's concern. Old Madame is only old and occasionally caught a cold. Now, she has completely recovered."
Concubine Mu received the tea that Shanhu handed over and said: "It's good that she's completely recovered. She's old. If she doesn't properly recuperate, if she hears some bad news, it wouldn't be good."
As the saying goes, good people don't come, bad people come!
Concubine Jin was somewhat unable to sit still, but she was stopped by Chen shi's gaze, saying: "Concubine Jin is slow-witted. Asking niangniang to explain."
"Concerning Concubine Ying, ben gong has recently heard some very interesting rumors. Does Chen furen want to hear them?"
"Concubine Mu niangniang, what is this? How has Maner jiejie offended you?" Concubine Jin instinctively felt that she could not allow Concubine Mu to take the initiative.
Concubine Mu said: "Ben gong is a daughter of the Yun family. Does Concubine Jin understand?"
Concubine Jin pretended to be confused and said: "Our Jin family has never had a grudge with niangniang's maternal family, let alone Man'er jiejie's Chen family. Her family is far away in Shaanxi. How did they offend niangniang?"
Concubine Mu put down the teacup and said: "Concubine Jin, do you want to continue pretending to be confused with ben gong?"
