I practiced medicine in ancient times

"I'm here to personally send you off." The Queen looked at her former rival with a sneer, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

She hated it! If she had known that Concubine Wu had poisoned her that day and was discovered by Imperial Physician Xu, she should have killed her. But now she let this bitch live until now, and even made trouble for her behind her back and gave her son smallpox.

"Impossible? I am a second-rank imperial concubine appointed by the Emperor himself. Even if I am sentenced to death, it was the Emperor who issued the decree. You, the Queen, have no right to do so." When Imperial Concubine Wu saw the palace maid behind the Queen holding the three pieces of evidence for the death penalty, her face immediately turned pale and she retorted in a trembling voice.

He no longer has the calmness and ferocity of the past.

The Queen smiled slightly, and that smile was full of ridicule and contempt. "Concubine Wu, you are too naive. I am the master of the six palaces and have the power to exercise the six palaces. And you actually dared to attack his prince. Do you know how serious this crime is?

You made a mistake, and it is only natural for me to punish you. No one can complain. Besides, before I returned to the palace, I had already given you the Flying Dragon Order. Just wait for your death!"

After the Queen said this, her heart was filled with joy.

When Concubine Wu heard this, her face turned even paler. She knew very well that the Flying Dragon Order was a privilege granted by the Emperor to the Empress, which allowed her to ignore any rules and directly deal with anyone in the harem. She was filled with fear, but more of it was resentment and anger.

"Someone come! Send Concubine Wu to death." As soon as the Queen Mother gave the order, Nanny Wu and several palace maids and eunuchs immediately took action. They walked towards Concubine Wu with expressionless faces, holding a white silk at both ends.

Concubine Wu looked at those people approaching her, and the fear in her heart surged like a tide. She slowly retreated. She couldn't believe that she would end up like this. She was so close to the pinnacle of power and had been so glorious, but now, she was being sent to the underworld by these lowly palace maids and eunuchs.

She struggled and tried to resist, but watched helplessly as the white silk was put around her neck.

"Empress, you...you will regret this! You will not die a good death, and the Fourth Prince will definitely die of smallpox, ahahaha!" Concubine Wu's last voice was full of resentment and curses.

Upon hearing this, the Queen simply smiled coldly, without any ripples in her heart.

"The queen is dead." A quarter of an hour later, Nanny Wu approached the queen and said.

"Concubine Wu, this is all your own fault. You can't blame anyone else." The Queen said silently in her heart.

"Return to the palace." The Queen's voice was firm and cold, as if Concubine Wu's curse just now had no effect on her.

She turned around slowly, and behind her was the body of Concubine Wu. It was undoubtedly a cruel reality in the palace that the once glorious concubine had ended up like this.

However, on the other side, the eldest prince hurried to the cold palace, only to see his mother lying quietly on the ground, with a white silk hanging around her neck, and her face lifeless. His eyes instantly became empty, and his heart was filled with unspeakable grief and anger.

The eldest prince knelt beside Concubine Wu's body, his voice trembling. He could not accept this cruel fact.

"Mother..." The eldest prince called in a low voice, his voice echoing in the empty cold palace, sounding particularly desolate. He reached out and gently stroked Concubine Wu's cheek, the cold touch was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into his heart.

"Queen, you and I cannot coexist." The eldest prince swore secretly in his heart.

However, just as the eldest prince and his guards were leaving the mansion and arriving at the cold palace, the empress sent eunuchs to issue an imperial decree, ordering the guards to surround the eldest prince's mansion, and directly took away all the medicinal materials that the eldest prince had bought from the Miaoshou Medical Clinic to treat smallpox, and sent them directly to the Moxuan Palace.

When the eldest prince came back, he saw that the queen had taken away the medicinal materials for treating smallpox in his mansion. All his plans had failed, and his mother's life was lost.

The eldest prince spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma immediately.

.........

"I am very happy today, having completely dealt with the annoying Concubine Wu.

Ever since Concubine Wu gave birth to the eldest prince, she has been arrogant and has been making things difficult for me. It is a great relief to execute her today." In Kunning Palace, the Queen sat on a cushion with a big smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, someone just brought in a message. After the eldest prince returned home, he learned that your Majesty had taken away the medicinal materials he bought to treat smallpox. He was so angry that he vomited blood. I guess he will be sick for a while." At this time, Nanny Zhang came in and reported to the Queen with a smile on her face.

"Oh, will I be sick for a while?" The Queen's heart moved, and she sat up straight, with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Correct!"

"He will be sick for a while, so let him stay sick.

Keep an eye on the eldest prince's residence to see who is treating him and whether you can get in touch with the doctor who is treating the eldest prince." The queen gave Aunt Zhang a meaningful smile.

Nanny Zhang bowed her head slightly and answered respectfully, "Yes, Madam. I will arrange it right away."

After saying that, Nanny Zhang quietly left Kunning Palace. The Queen sat on the cushion, tapping the table with her fingers, her eyes flashing with calculation.

She thought that although the eldest prince was young and energetic, he was the emperor's son after all. If he became seriously ill and could not be cured, the emperor would probably become suspicious, which would not be a good thing for her.

On the fifth, sixth, and seventh days, the Fourth Prince had been in stable condition for seven days after being infected with smallpox. His condition had not worsened, but had shown some slight signs of improvement. This made everyone feel relieved and gave them greater confidence to face this sudden crisis.

On the eighth day, before dark, when Bai Yan touched various parts of the Fourth Prince's body with her fingers, she found that there seemed to be something abnormal in his blood. Although her special ability could not directly analyze the situation in the Fourth Prince's blood, Bai Yan also knew that in ancient times, people who contracted smallpox would die from complications, including sepsis.

Therefore, Bai Yan guessed that the Fourth Prince might be beginning to show signs of sepsis.

She was shocked, and although she was extremely anxious, she knew that she couldn't panic at this moment.

"Bai Yan, how was the Fourth Prince's health today? Nothing happened, right?" The Fourth Prince was infected with smallpox, and knowing that he died of complications from smallpox, Xu Qingyi asked Bai Yan to use her special powers to check the Fourth Prince's body every day.

It was also Bai Yan's credit that the signs of pneumonia were detected earlier. After Xu Qingyi prescribed the right medicine, the signs of pneumonia were immediately controlled by Xu Qingyi and the patient was cured under monitoring.

"Not very good." Bai Yan said with a serious expression.
