He Ying explained in a low voice, "This medicine is a pill left by the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital."
He Ying and Lan Shuang are elderly people who have been accompanying Yan Muqing since childhood and serving her. Neither Yu Jintang nor Yan Muqing noticed the evasion in Lan Shuang's eyes.
Mingxin had been in a coma and unable to swallow since two days ago. Yan Muqing was not discouraged at all. She used a small spoon to feed her daughter the medicine little by little. If one bowl of medicine was not enough, she would feed her two bowls. If she fed her more, she would always be able to drink some through the esophagus.
This time was different from the previous times. Before the first bowl of medicine was finished, Mingxin suddenly started coughing. He coughed weakly a few times at first, and then he couldn't stop coughing until his body was shaking.
Yan Muching quickly put down the medicine bowl, held her daughter in her arms, and patted her gently and carefully. Mingxin was so thin that she was just a bag of bones, and she was afraid that if she patted her too hard, she would hurt her daughter.
Yan Muqing thought he had been very careful. The violent coughing suddenly stopped, and Mingxin's body went limp and completely unresponsive.
Yu Jintang was horrified. He tentatively sniffed Mingxin's breath, but Yan Muqing waved him away.
"Xin'er is still alive and well!" Yan Muqing did not turn to look at Yu Jintang, his eyes were always on Ming Xin, unwilling to move away even a little.
She put her daughter's body back on the bed and wiped the stains left by the medicine as usual.
Looking at the unrecognizable figure on the bed, she tried her best to hold back her tears, but still couldn't.
When she noticed tears falling, she quickly raised her hand to wipe them away. Her daughter was fine, so she couldn't shed tears or cry.
After receiving the news, Gu Yuelan hurried into the inner hall and, despite Yan Muqing's attempt to stop her, forcefully sniffed Ming Xin's breath.
Not noticing any breath movement, she didn't give up and touched Mingxin's chest again, but there was no movement either.
"Xin'er is gone, please accept my condolences!" Before Gu Yuelan finished speaking, tears fell.
Lan Shuang and He Ying burst into tears at the same time. Yan Muqing turned around and shouted, "Shut up! Don't cry. My Xin'er is not dead, she is still alive and well. Don't cry..."
Facing Yan Muqing's hideous face that looked like a mad woman, Lan Shuang and He Ying sobbed and dared not cry out loud anymore.
Gu Yuelan wiped her tears and choked up as she advised, "Don't deceive yourself. Please accept my condolences! Mingxin has suffered enough at such a young age. Now that she is gone, don't torment her anymore!"
"You're talking nonsense, Mingxin is not dead, she is not dead~" Yan Muqing roared, and her body fell softly from the round stool.
Yu Jintang was unable to support her, so he rushed forward and hugged her. With a dull thump, they both fell to the ground.
The imperial physician was guarding the outer hall and was soon invited over. He first confirmed the fact that Ming Xin had passed away, and then took Yan Muqing's pulse. It was found that Yan Muqing had just fainted due to excessive grief and his life was not in danger.
Upon learning of Ming Xin's death, Xue Wanhe also rushed to the West Palace despite her illness. After she was grieving, she asked Yu Jintang for his opinion, "The princess has passed away. Can we take advantage of Concubine Yan's coma to let her rest early?"
Yu Jintang shook his head blankly, "She won't be able to bear it. Let's wait until she wakes up before deciding where Mingxin should go!"
After more than ten days of hardship, Yan Muching slept very deeply and slept for four or five hours before waking up slowly.
After a moment of confusion, she climbed up from the couch and stumbled towards the inner hall. When she saw Mingxin still lying there intact, she breathed a sigh of relief.
During the hours of coma, she was able to sense everything that happened in the outside world, and naturally heard the news that Xue Wanhe was going to bury Ming Xin. She was so anxious that she went crazy, but she couldn't wake up.
The moment she touched her daughter's little hand, Yan Muqing's restless heart instantly settled down. Her Xin'er was still so young, she had not learned how to behave herself, had not seen the evil in the world. How could she let her little girl go to the underworld alone!
"Concubine, the princess has passed away, so let her rest in peace!" Lan Shuang advised, wiping her tears.
It is the hottest time of the year and the body cannot be kept for long. No matter how reluctant the concubine is, she has to send the little princess away.
Maybe it was because she accepted the fact or because she had enough sleep, but Yan Muqing's mind was unusually clear at this moment. She didn't cry or make a fuss. She placed Mingxin's little hand by her side and stroked her little face reluctantly.
As he was touching it, Yan Muqing suddenly realized something was wrong.
A lifeless body would become stiff in two hours at most. She slept from 11:00 p.m. last night until dawn, but Mingxin's hands and arms were still soft.
Seeing Yan Muqing suddenly standing there in a daze without saying anything, Yu Jintang advised with red eyes, "Muqing, Xin'er has..."
"Shut up, don't say anything." Yan Muqing interrupted Yu Jintang's persuasion, frowned and recalled everything that happened last night.
Last night before Mingxin took the medicine, Heying fed Mingxin a white pill.
She watched the doctors prescribe medicine for Xin'er, but she didn't see the doctors give Heying pills...
Thinking of a certain possibility, Yan Muqing's heartbeat accelerated. She calmed herself down and sent everyone away under the pretext of changing Mingxin's clothes, leaving only Heying.
"Heying, tell me the truth, where did the pill you fed Xiner last night come from?" Yan Muqing stared at Heying without blinking, asking cautiously, fearing that she would deny the answer.
He Ying seemed to have known that she would be interrogated. She knelt on the ground calmly and said, "Please forgive me, young lady. I have no choice."
Yan Muqing didn't care whether she was guilty or not, and asked anxiously, "Did Yan Yongchen give you the medicine?"
Seeing He Ying nodding while crying, she asked again, "So is this medicine a life-saving medicine or a life-threatening poison?"
"They told me that this medicine is a deadly poison to Princess Dafeng, but a life-saving medicine to Mingxin. It depends on what decision you make."
Yan Muching was stunned for a long time before she understood what He Ying meant. She could no longer hold back her tears of joy. The tears that had been suppressed for a long time burst out and she covered her face and cried loudly.
It turns out that her Mingxin is not dead, and there is still hope for her to live...
In the middle of the night, another small coffin was carried out of the palace through the corner gate of the inner palace.
When the carriage reached the forest in the eastern suburbs, bursts of babies' crying were heard all around. The crying was not like the howling of ordinary babies. It was so melodious and long that it made people feel creepy.
Seeing the two eunuchs guarding the carriage trembling with fear, the leading guard shouted loudly: "Everyone, be alert. This is the royal cemetery, protected by a real dragon. No evil spirits or ghosts can get close to it."
"But, but I really heard crying!" The young eunuch was so scared that his voice began to cry.
The young masters in the palace died one after another. They suffered torture before their death and their death was also horrible.
Many people in the palace were saying that it was because the emperor had committed unforgivable crimes that God sent punishment to the royal descendants.
The young masters died tragically, and even their bodies were burned after death. Maybe they really turned into evil spirits and came to claim their lives.
