When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

"I may need Yueyue's help later."

"um, I?"

"Yes, you will know then."

"it is good."

When they returned to the palace, the queen mother who had been sitting on the throne had disappeared. It turned out that the queen mother was getting old, and her energy and physical strength were not as good as before. It was difficult for her to support a long banquet, so she returned to her palace to rest in advance.

No one knows whether it is true or not.

At this moment, the queen was still accompanying the emperor in the hall, enjoying fine wine and delicious food together.

The hall was filled with melodious sounds of stringed instruments and graceful dances.

Her hair is as black as ink, her clothes are fragrant, her waist is slender, and her eyes are as charming as silk. Every movement and expression of the dancer must have been practiced countless times in advance to make her eyes look so seductive.

At first Xu Xinyue was just appreciating the dance, but as she watched, she didn't realize that something had changed.

Looking at Wu Ling's seductive and expectant eyes, Xu Xinyue couldn't help but recall the time when he looked into her eyes in the side hall just now when he was giving Qin Yuechuan the antidote...

Not to mention the rippling water, it is simply enchanting.

He was good-looking, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his eyes were slender and slightly upturned, and his eyelashes were like cicada wings. His cold facial features were stained with lust... Xu Xinyue felt her heartbeat speed up, and her cheeks were burning hot as if they were roasted by fire.

Qin Yuechuan was always paying attention to the surrounding movements, but he still kept some attention on Xu Xinyue. Seeing her blushing and uncomfortable look, he couldn't help but ask: "Yueyue, but..."

"No!" Xu Xinyue was afraid that her secret would be exposed, so she quickly denied it.

Qin Yuechuan was a little worried about her abnormal behavior. He raised his hand and covered her forehead: "Why is it so hot? Did you catch a cold?"

"No..." Xu Xinyue was about to open her mouth to explain, but she heard everyone exclaiming: "Your Majesty!"

Qin Yuechuan's heart tightened and he quickly turned his head to look upwards.

The emperor above was lying straight on the dragon throne, his face as pale as paper and bloodless. His originally majestic and solemn face now became extremely haggard and weak.

Xu Xinyue and Qin Yuechuan looked at each other, nodded to each other, and immediately hurried to the emperor's side.

The sudden change made the queen look horrified, her eyes full of panic and anxiety. Her body trembled slightly, and she was stunned for a few breaths before she shouted: "Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician! Quick!"

The princes and princesses gathered around him tightly, calling out to him and staring at the emperor with worried and serious expressions.

Qin Yuechuan squeezed forward and made a way for Xu Xinyue. Xu Xinyue leaned down and wanted to check the emperor's breath in public, but was stopped by the queen: "You bold girl, what do you want to do to His Majesty! How can you touch the body of the Son of Heaven at will!"

Qin Yuechuan said unhappily: "My Queen, she is already Princess Rong."

The queen raised her head slightly and met Qin Yuechuan's cold eyes. Her heart trembled unconsciously. She said unwillingly for the sake of face: "Even Princess Rong cannot touch Your Majesty casually! What is the situation now? If anything goes wrong..."

Qin Lingruo suddenly remembered that at the last banquet, Xu Xinyue's maid said that she was a "miracle doctor". She looked at Xu Xinyue hopefully: "Yueyue, do you really have a way? "

Xu Xinyue nodded slightly, indicating that she should not worry.

"There are too many people surrounding us right now. Can Ling'er help me evacuate a few of them?"

Qin Lingruo's eyes were filled with tears. She responded happily and ordered people to evacuate the nearby people and drive them all to the side to make a large open space for her.

"Princess, please come to see the doctor. Time is very tight and the imperial physician is not with you. If there is any mistake, I will bear all the blame!"

"You..." The queen was speechless, but she knew that what he said made sense. If Xu Xinyue really knew how to treat a disease, she might be able to help a lot. At the same time, she was skeptical about her ability: "Why should I trust her! If her medical skills are not good, she will only cause more trouble and harm your majesty's health! If..."

While the two ministers were still arguing, Xu Xianyue stood up and said solemnly, "I already know the cause of the disease. I cannot say more here. I need to move your majesty to another place."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuechuan did not ask any more questions and directly sent someone to move the emperor to the bed in the side hall.

"How dare you move without the Imperial Physician's arrival?"

The Queen still had some doubts about Xu Xinyue.

Xu Xinyue had no choice but to move closer to the Queen. She ignored her shouting and questioning and directly stated her diagnosis in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Majesty is now in a state of being poisoned. It is not something that happened today, but has been accumulated over a long period of time."

After Xu Xinyue finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at the queen fearlessly: "Your Majesty, if this continues for a long time, I'm afraid..."

The queen's eyes shone, and although she still spoke in an unquestionable tone, her voice was much lower: "Do you doubt me?"

"I'm not doubting the Queen, but this matter involves so many people that I'm afraid it's not appropriate to publicize it in front of everyone. I hope the Queen will think twice."

Seeing her calm expression without the slightest hesitation, the Queen reluctantly said, "I will trust you for now. Move the Emperor to the nearest side hall and follow me!" After walking a few steps, the Queen suddenly turned around and ordered the guards around her, "Bring that Taoist Master Yanxu to me immediately! Quickly!"

The guards took orders and retreated hastily.

Qin Yuechuan, who was standing by, heard the Queen's order and a barely perceptible chuckle flashed across his lips: he was just thinking about how to propose and summon Yanxu to come in front of him, but unexpectedly, the Queen had taken a step ahead and solved his little problem.

It was already night, and under the palace lanterns in the corridor, a group of people carried the emperor's dragon sedan and hurried to the nearest bedroom.

Qin Yuechuan took Xu Xinyue a few steps back and whispered something in her ear.

Xu Xinyue listened to his plan and looked at him in surprise. But for a moment, she didn't ask anything and nodded: "I understand, don't worry."

Fortunately, Xu Xinyue had the needle kit that she had asked Qingyang to find earlier.

To ensure His Majesty's safety, the rest of the princes, princesses and officials were stopped outside the bedroom. Only Xu Xinyue, who was a doctor, Qin Yuechuan, who acted as his guarantor, and the Queen were left.

The gate was heavily guarded by guards, and the queen issued an order: anyone who showed any unusual behavior, whether inside or outside the house, would be charged with treason and thrown into death row immediately.

Before the imperial physician arrives, the emperor can only rely on Xu Xinyue to temporarily protect his heart.

The Queen was still skeptical about her. She held her handkerchief tightly in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on her, watching her every move, fearing that there would be any mistake.

Xu Xinyue turned a blind eye and focused only on what she was doing.

There was a noise outside the hall, as well as the sound of slight gunfire clashing.

It turned out that the person who arrived before the imperial physician was the "Yanxu" mentioned by the queen.

Just then, Xu Xianyue finished her acupuncture and stood beside Qin Yuechuan. The queen stood up and shouted angrily, "Bring that stinky Taoist priest to me!"

"Your Majesty, I am honored to be here."

Although Yanxu was escorted by several people, his hands were tied behind his back by two guards, and his gray and black Taoist robe was wrinkled. His cheeks were plump, his forehead was only purple, and his black hair was slightly messy, but his face was still calm, and he bowed his head and greeted the queen in a leisurely manner.

Seeing his relaxed and indifferent demeanor, the queen became even more furious: "You stinky Taoist priest, do you admit your guilt!?"

Yanxu still lowered his head and said slowly: "I don't know, please tell me clearly, Madam."

"Oh! Don't you know? Ever since you entered the palace, I have felt that you, an old Taoist priest, are spreading lies to confuse the people and bewitching the emperor's heart.

What about the art of foresight, the ability to judge people, and your so-called elixir! How have you confused Your Majesty!

You know, His Majesty has just been examined and has been poisoned for a long time! In addition to your pill, His Majesty has taken something else recently! It is your pill! And you still say that you know nothing of your crime! "

Yanxu then raised his head, his eyes sharp and calm: "Forgive me for offending you, but does Your Majesty have sufficient evidence to prove that it was caused by my pills?"

Seeing that he still refused to admit his guilt and was stubbornly making excuses, the queen pointed at the emperor lying unconscious on the dragon couch and said angrily: "Your Majesty, he is lying here, isn't that evidence?"

Yanxu glanced sideways, then turned to the queen and said firmly:

"I am upright and honest. If I have never done it, then I have never done it. My pills have all been tested by the imperial physicians, and Your Majesty has also tried them on others before taking them with confidence. Why is it that others have no problem using them, but Your Majesty has problems with them?"

"I know that the Queen has been displeased with me for a long time, so there is really no need to use this method."

"you!"

Qin Yuechuan spoke at this time: "In this case, why not take out the elixir that the old Taoist has presented recently and let the princess check it. It will be clear at a glance if there is anything unusual."

The queen was alert and asked directly: "How do I know that you are not in the same group with him?"

But as soon as she asked the question, even she felt a little nervous. Not to mention that Qin Yuechuan was not in Kyoto when the old Taoist first came to the palace, even if her princess wanted to protect the old Taoist, there were still many imperial doctors in charge. How could they allow a little girl like him to do evil?

Xu Xinyue saw the Queen's doubts and took the initiative to speak: "If the Queen still doesn't believe it after my examination, the Imperial Physician can check again."

The queen thought the same thing. She glared at Yanxu and said, "Bring all the remaining pills that Your Majesty has taken recently, as well as the remaining pills in the old Taoist's alchemy room!"

She was indeed too cautious. If she found out that the old Taoist was selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat, and the pill in his hand was different from the one he presented, let's see what he would say!

Soon, a guard came with a tray with two boxes inside. Both were palm-sized, but one was made of red gold with dragon patterns, and the other was just ordinary mahogany.

It is clear at a glance which one belongs to the emperor and which one belongs to Yanxu.

Xu Xianyue took a little bit of each pill from the box and tasted it in her mouth. She looked around and saw a pen and paper on the table beside her. She raised her wrist and picked up the pen, writing as she said, "I already know the medicinal materials used in this pill. I will write them down on the paper. If the Queen asks the imperial physician to check it later, it will be clear whether the Taoist priest and I are related as you said."

Xu Xinyue blew on the half-dried ink and handed it to the queen personally.

"The two pills are exactly the same, and they are only for nourishing the body, and have no other effects. So the Queen can rest assured, the Taoist priest is telling the truth."

"Hmph!" The Queen took the paper recording the ingredients of the pills and said, "I will personally judge whether it is true or false."

The timing was just right, and the imperial physician arrived. He was an old doctor with gray hair, hunched shoulders and looked very old, about sixty years old. He trembled as he carried the medicine box and bowed, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Empress..."

"No need to be polite, Imperial Physician Sun. You are the most experienced imperial physician in the palace. You have always taken care of the emperor. Come and see if there is anything wrong with His Majesty's health today."

"Yes." Imperial Physician Sun came to the bedside, felt the pulse, turned around and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is poisoned. This poison is not an ordinary poison, but a result of accumulation over time. The amount used every day is extremely small, so it cannot be detected on weekdays.

If I didn't know what your Majesty ate today and accidentally triggered it, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it was this old minister..."

The queen was anxious: "Here are some pills, is there anything wrong with that?"

Imperial Physician Sun also examined it carefully like Xu Xianyue did just now, and shook his head: "There is nothing wrong."

"Are the medicinal materials used consistent with those on this piece of paper?"

Imperial Physician Sun curiously took the paper handed over by the Queen, and after taking a closer look, he exclaimed: "So the Queen has already ordered other imperial physicians to check it out? It is indeed good, and not a single ingredient is bad."

So, it really isn’t this old Taoist?

The Queen felt quite powerless at this time. She sat back on the couch, put her hand on her forehead, closed her eyes and thought quietly. This matter must not be simple. There are so many people in the palace that Your Majesty comes into contact with every day. Where should I start?
