[Red House] That natural stay

Living in such an orderly manner every day, Mo Jue suddenly felt that such a life was not bad.

On this day, I just refurbished some irrelevant books, and I saw that there was nothing to do, so I was going to go home early.As soon as he reached the door, he saw a group of imperial physicians hurriedly walking towards the harem with the young eunuch leading the way.

I don't know which concubine is sick again. These imperial doctors are all over the age, and they have to walk like this desperately at every turn.It was rare for Mo Jue to complain in his heart.

But he didn't take it too seriously. After talking to Fu Qing, he went home leisurely.The Imperial Academy is good at this. Although it has no real power, it is better than leisure.

With the swaying of the sedan chair, he soon arrived at Mo Mansion.Mo Yu had some things to do and went out.So at this time, he was the only one in the family.After ordering the kitchen to cook some of his favorite dishes, Mo Jue lay in the yard basking in the not-so-hot sun.

The hot summer is about to pass in a blink of an eye, but the weather hasn't turned cold yet.Close your eyes and enjoy this moment of silence.

Mo Jue frowned as urgent footsteps approached from far to near.

"My lord, someone from outside said that His Highness the Crown Prince is looking for you!" Xiao Liu panted heavily.

"His Royal Highness?" Mo Jue looked at him suspiciously.

Xiao Liu was about to answer when another voice rang out first.

"Lord Mo, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please come to the palace right away to discuss something important." The visitor deliberately lowered his voice, trying to appear normal.

Mo Jue looked up, the person who spoke was no stranger to him, he was Xia Xia's valet, and he had met several times.

"Did His Royal Highness say anything about it?"

"Your Highness only knows when you enter the palace." The man replied in a low voice.

Mo Jue didn't ask any more questions, got up and told Xiao Liu a few words, and then followed the little eunuch into the palace.

However, what puzzled him was that the prince's approach was obviously specially dressed, wearing a set of ordinary people's clothes.When he was about to reach the gate of the palace, he turned another corner and entered an empty alley, and he and Mo Jue changed into the lowest eunuch uniforms in the palace one after another.Then he entered the palace.

I ran into no one along the way, and arrived at the East Palace smoothly.The little eunuch led Mo Jue to the door of the study and left.He had to go inside alone.

"Your Highness." Xia Tian was writing something on the desk alone.

"Xiao Jue, you are finally here." His words were filled with excitement.He grabbed Mo Jue and sat down on the chair beside him.

"Well, are you looking for something urgent?" Seeing Xia Xia's appearance, Mo Jue didn't hesitate and went straight to the point.

"I really need your help." Xia Tian smiled bitterly, and then explained the reason of the matter clearly.

It turned out that in the first two days, the Empress Dowager suddenly began to feel unwell. She thought it was just the wind and cold caused by the change of seasons, but after the imperial physician prescribed a few medicines, she didn't take it seriously.Unexpectedly, after taking the medicine, not only did it not get better, but it became more and more serious, and finally alarmed Emperor Shenghe.

All the imperial physicians were summoned, but none of them found out the cause.Emperor Shenghe executed several empress doctors in a fit of rage, and the empress dowager's illness did not improve at all, but her health continued to deteriorate.

Finally, the high-status concubines in the harem began to take turns serving the sick.The imperial physicians went to the queen mother's palace three times a day.

Under careful treatment, although the queen mother's condition did not improve, fortunately, it did not continue to deteriorate.Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was revealed that Concubine Li was the murderer who poisoned the Queen Mother.

It just so happened that during those few days it was Li Fei's turn to attend to the sickness, and a rough servant girl knocked down the soup that Li Fei brought to the Empress Dowager.It's not a big deal if not a single drop is left, the big deal is to dispose of that maidservant, who would have thought that the decoction spilled on the ground made a piercing sound in an instant, and quickly bubbled up.No matter how you look at it, it is abnormal.

Just at this time, Emperor Shenghe happened to come to visit the queen mother, and bumped into a scene.Immediately summoned the imperial physician to examine the bowl of medicine.

Finally, it was concluded that a chronic poison was added to the decoction.It is not easy to find out, if you take it for a long time, the queen mother will definitely die of poison.

Emperor Shenghe was furious, and he didn't want to listen to Concubine Li's defense, so he went straight into the limbo.Then he ordered the matter to be thoroughly investigated to see who else was involved.

Unexpectedly, after a search, the queen was found.But compared to Concubine Li, Emperor Shenghe obviously didn't believe that the queen was involved, but he still planted the seeds of doubt in his heart, and just waited for the passage of time for it to thrive.

From then on, the queen mother's diet will be strictly controlled.But even so, the speed visible to the naked eye is declining day by day.

Suddenly thinking of Mo Juelu's move in Xuancheng, Xia Tian wanted to ask him to try to see if there was anything he could do.

After listening to the ins and outs of the incident, Mo Jue pondered for a while. For some reason, this incident seemed weird no matter how you looked at it. Everything seemed too coincidental.As if it was planned.

However, this is not the problem he is currently facing.

"I don't know what symptoms and patterns the Empress Dowager has when she gets sick?"

"When I got sick, my face turned blue, my lips turned white, and I was sweating profusely. If it is regular, I get sick every other day." Xia Tian recalled with a frown.

Carefully going through these symptoms in his mind, Mo Jue was silent for a while.He has been in Guzhong for more than two years, and he has read a lot of medical books, and he has also thoroughly studied Master Liaochen's medical notes.The symptoms of the Empress Dowager were very similar to those of a poisonous weed on the border, but he had not personally diagnosed the Empress Dowager, so he did not dare to jump to conclusions.

"I don't know if you can let me see the Queen Mother." Mo Jue asked.

Xia Tian saw that his face was normal, and he didn't look like he was being difficult, so he knew that Mo Jue had confidence in his heart.Unknowingly, he also breathed a sigh of relief. In private, he also sent people to visit many famous "miracle doctors", but none of them could explain why, or they had heard of it but didn't know how to detoxify it.Finally, I had to go to Mo Jue.

"No problem." Xia Tian agreed in one gulp.

After the two discussed for a while, Mo Jue left and made an appointment to take him to meet the queen mother in person at this time tomorrow.

The second day came soon, and Mo Jue, dressed in an unremarkable eunuch uniform, followed Xia Tian into the Queen Mother's bedroom.

As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a strong smell of medicine, which will make people who are not used to it subconsciously frown and hold their breath.Layers of gauze are covered layer after layer, blocking the line of sight, and the further you go in, the stronger the smell of medicine.

Finally, he stopped behind a screen.

"His Royal Highness." Someone saluted.

"Well, how is the imperial grandmother?" Xia Tian asked gently.

"The Empress Dowager is still unconscious."

"Thank you for your hard work, go down first. I want to talk to the emperor's grandmother."

"Yes." Followed by footsteps.Out of the corner of Mo Jue's eyes, he could see the light-colored embroidered shoes passing by.

After confirming that there were only two awake people, Xia Mo Jue, left here, he started to move.

Mo Jue came out from the shadows, stood beside the queen mother's bed, and looked at this woman who was under one person and above ten thousand in the southern country.

Today is not the time for the onset of illness, but the Empress Dowager's face is still pale, her brows are tightly furrowed, obviously she is still suffering some kind of pain even in her sleep.Her lips still lacked the slightest color of blood, and the cheekbones on her face protruded high, showing how thin she was.

Mo Jue stretched out his hand to feel the pulse, but the pulse was unexpectedly steady and strong, completely opposite to the condition of the whole body.I have a plan in mind.Then the blood was taken by a secret method and stored.

Afterwards, he signaled to Xia Tian, ​​the other party nodded knowingly, and the two retreated in a tacit understanding.

When returning to the East Palace, Xia Tian couldn't wait to ask: "How is it?"

"Based on preliminary judgment, it is very likely that the empress dowager was poisoned by a border poison called the farewell grass." Mo Jue didn't hide it either.

"Farewell grass?"

"That's right, this kind of poisonous weed is unique to the frontier. It's not very poisonous, but if you take it or use it for a long time, you will be like a queen mother, and you will be unconscious for a long time. But it won't die easily. Slowly Torturing the poisoned people day after day." Mo Jue looked serious.

Xia Tian's expression sank, the poisoner is really vicious enough.While framing others, they also want to get rid of the immediate victims.However, long-term use or use?

The Empress Dowager was poisoned less than ten days ago. So, someone poisoned the Empress Dowager before?
