It was rather difficult to feed a unconscious person medicine! Shen Kouqing drank the medicine in the bowl into his mouth and helped Song Yichen up. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still placed the bowl into his mouth and poured the medicine into his mouth little by little.
Although this bowl of medicine had been fed to him for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the result was still very good.
Although Song Yichen's face was still pale after drinking the medicine, at the very least his pulse wasn't as chaotic as it was just now. Shen Kouqing was temporarily relieved.
"Butler, take good care of His Highness. I'll go change my clothes." Shen Kouqing called for the butler and left after saying a few words.
Giving him medicine was indeed a difficult task, especially on a hot day like this where she was already exhausted beyond the sweat.
Shen Kouqing, on the other hand, was a person who loved cleanliness. If she did not change her clothes, she would probably feel especially uncomfortable for the entire day.
"Empress, just now, what did you do?" Ting Zhu followed behind Shen Kouqing and asked curiously.
"Feed the medicine to His Highness." When Shen Kouqing thought about what happened just now, she suddenly blushed and said a few words to Ting Zhu.
"Feeding medicine? But His Highness clearly couldn't drink the medicine! How did the Empress do it? " Ting Zhu was indeed a little girl who had not been through any trouble. As soon as she became curious, she didn't care about anything and directly asked.
After all, she was Shen Kouqing, so Ting Zhu didn't feel that it was a big deal. Their feelings were like sisters, just that Shen Kouqing kept blushing, and didn't know how to explain it to Ting Zhu.
"I have the ability to order medicine, so I naturally used a medical method to feed it to His Highness." Shen Kouqing immediately thought of a way to solve the problem.
"Then …" Ting Zhu still did not quite understand, but when she wanted to ask what kind of method it was, she was interrupted by Shen Kouqing.
"Alright, Ting Zhu, I am covered in sweat and my body is feeling extremely uncomfortable. Let's quickly go back and change!" As Shen Kouqing spoke, she took a step forward, and started walking faster and faster.
"Empress, please wait for this servant!" Ting Zhu followed him from behind.
After changing his clothes, Shen Kouqing felt that her body was a little tired, so she sat on the chair to rest, but her mind was still working hard.
The matter of Song Yichen being poisoned was just too strange. Although it was said to be three parts of the poison, Shen Kouqing had been controlling the dosage very well. Why did it become like this?
What was even more strange was that even the Imperial Physician Fu was unable to figure out what was going on.
"Empress, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Shen Kouqing's worried expression, Ting Zhu asked with a worried look.
"Of course it is because His Highness has been poisoned. I have already been extremely careful, how could anyone still have an opportunity to take it?" I really don't understand. " Shen Kouqing's brows tightly knitted together, her words carried doubt and anxiety.
Hearing Shen Kouqing's words, Ting Zhu also closed her mouth, frowning as she racked her brains, trying to think things through. After a long while, she still couldn't think things through, and naturally gave up.
How could Ting Zhu possibly understand something that even Shen Kouqing couldn't understand? After all, Ting Zhu was just a simple little girl, while Shen Kouqing was someone who had experienced a lifetime of rebirth!
"Empress, Ting Zhu is useless, and I don't understand either …" Ting Zhu said to Shen Kouqing with a look of guilt.
"We do not blame you, Ting Zhu. Those evil people are too cunning, we cannot guard against them." Shen Kouqing could only console Ting Zhu though.
The news of Song Yichen being poisoned quickly spread throughout the palace. The emperor was extremely worried, and the crown prince's residence was also in a state of panic. The crown prince's consort was extremely worried, and quickly paid a visit to the emperor's eldest grandson's residence.
She alighted the carriage and directly walked to Song Yichen's room.
"Speak, what happened? How could His Highness be poisoned? " The Crown Princess had a dignified look on her face. She looked at the servants kneeling on the floor and asked.
"Reporting to The Crown Prince, this old servant doesn't know what's going on either. Royal granddaughter consort has already started investigating." The steward raised her head and carefully answered the Crown Princess.
"Royal granddaughter consort? Heh, I'm afraid this is the doing of that woman! " The Crown Princess had never liked Shen Kouqing, so naturally, she had a lot of prejudices against her. She had always felt that Shen Kouqing didn't have any feelings for him, but had her own motives.
"The Crown Prince, Royal granddaughter consort has always been extremely good to Your Highness. The person who poisoned you, he definitely won't be the Royal granddaughter consort!" When the butler heard the words of the Crown Princess, he hurriedly cut off all connections between them for Shen Kouqing.
Although Shen Kouqing was normally a little cold, she still treated his servants extremely well. She did not have a single trace of contempt and she even treated them like family.
This was the so-called 'show of kindness'. It was good for the servants and had its own prestige, but it did not insult anyone.
"What, are you suspecting me? You dog of a servant, I really don't know what use it is to keep you all alive. To actually cause the noble Emperor's eldest grandson to be poisoned under your very eyes, how abominable! " The Crown Princess spoke. Her eyes were full of anger and fierceness.
"Servants deserve to die. It was these servants who did not take good care of the emperor's eldest grandson. It was also that scoundrel who was too cunning. These servants are truly impossible to guard against!" The steward knew that the Crown Princess was a difficult person to deal with, so he spoke to her with great respect and fear.
The Crown Princess frowned. She didn't know what to say.
After a long while, he then slowly said, "Forget it, all of you can get up. At this moment, no matter how I punish you, it's meaningless."
"Thank you, The Crown Prince!" When the servants heard the princess consort's words, they kowtowed in gratitude.
"What about your so-called Royal granddaughter consort? I've been here for so long, why haven't I seen her? Your husband had been poisoned, and she has actually disappeared. This is outrageous! " The Crown Princess was angry that she did not see Shen Kouqing, even though she was right now.
Back then, he didn't know what was wrong with his son to insist on marrying such a woman with such a bad reputation. If it wasn't for the emperor's decree, she definitely wouldn't have agreed!
"Reporting to the The Crown Prince, the Royal granddaughter consort has been feeding His Highness the medicine and sweated profusely. She is now going to change her clothes, and will probably be back soon." The butler told him the truth.
