When Yuwen He said this, his eyes were laughing.
It was a familiar scene.
These four words pulled Xiao Ruyue back to reality.
Wasn't Yuwen He eating a Wangyou Powder? Didn't he forget all about Xiao Ruyue? Why did it still exist?!
"Alright, Your Majesty. If you continue to lament, the food will really turn cold." Yin Lin and the others should be anxious now. " Although Xiao Ruyue was panicking, she was still relatively calm.
"That's true. We have plenty of time to chat." Yuwen He laughed evilly.
Xiao Ruyue could not help but blush slightly.
During dinner time, Yuwen He made Fang Weiyong,, Lu Yi and the others wait on him at the side. He was probably in a good mood today, so he even ate half a bowl more.
Xiao Ruyue was originally hungry, and after being dragged away to "exercise", she was hungry to the point where her chest was pressed against her back, thus she ate an extra bowl than usual. Lu Yi was flabbergasted by the appetite.
After dinner, Yuwen He went to the royal study to continue handling government affairs.
The busy emperor did not have much free time, and he always took time to accompany her. Xiao Ruyue was deeply moved.
However, he was touched and felt even more uneasy.
As his body was immersed in the hot water, Xiao Ruyue let out a long sigh. He then instructed Yin Lin to bring the clothes in.
After changing his clothes, Xiao Ruyue was in no hurry to get on the bed to rest, as he held onto a few books on the soft couch to read.
There was a shortcut in the letter, but what was written on the medical manual was a map of the acupuncture points of the human body. The locations of those acupuncture points and the uses of each and every one of them must be kept in mind before one could test them on the bronze man.
Time was running out, and she had to jot it down. In a few days, he would have to go to the Empress Dowager and personally acupuncture for the bronze man.
Lu Yi was afraid that if the lights in the house became too dim, it would hurt Xiao Ruyue's eyes and she prepared to light another lamp.
"It's already bright enough, Lu Yi." Xiao Ruyue raised her head from the book, calling out to Lu Yi, "There's no need to light all those lamps."
"But the Empress, you're reading a book. You're hurting your eyes."
Xiao Ruyue could not help but find it funny, "If you do not see, I will call you. "It's already bright enough. Since His Majesty is so poor, we can save him a bit."
"Pu!" Lu Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Your Highness, no matter how poor your Majesty is, he shouldn't be lacking in money like this, right?
"The Empress is sparing time for her husband. She should be cooperating." The one who spoke was Yin Lin.
She brought a bowl of ginseng soup and placed it in front of Xiao Ruyue, "According to Your Majesty's orders, the Empress has been reading for a long time, so that she can use the ginseng soup to raise her spirit and recuperate."
Xiao Ruyue smiled when she heard that, "Then what about your master himself? He's the busy man who does all the work. "
"Empress, don't worry. His Majesty already knew that you would ask, so he had already drunk the ginseng soup in front of this servant. Yin Lin said calmly.
The corner of Xiao Ruyue's mouth twitched. Yuwen He really understood her.
She did not say anything else, but picked up the ginseng soup and blew on it. The temperature was suitable, so she did not use a spoon to drink it all.
Which empress could be so bold?
Looking at this scene, Yin Lin could only mutter to herself in a low voice, "As expected of the empress, even her manner of eating is so similar."
"What did you say?" Xiao Ruyue's ears were extremely sharp.
Yin Lin hurriedly shook her head, "This servant didn't say anything. This servant will take her leave. " As he spoke, he withdrew himself.
Unexpectedly, just as Yin Lin walked out of the door, she heard a cry of "aiyo", and it was obvious that someone had fallen.
Then, Yin Lin said with an annoyed tone of voice: "What are you doing, panicking and not making a move?"
The moment Yin Lin stepped out of the door, she was hit by Cai Yin who hurriedly ran over, the soup bowl in her hands flew out as well, but she was extremely fast, so when she reached out to grab the soup bowl, Cai Yin was actually the one who fell down.
"Miss Silver Yin Lin, something big happened!" It was Cai Yin's voice, and she was so anxious that she was stuttering.
Xiao Ruyue felt that something was amiss, and called out loud: "Yin Lin, Cai Yin, come in and answer."
The person at the door hurriedly entered.
The soup bowl in Yin Lin's hands was still undamaged, but her clothes were slightly wrinkled. Thinking back, when Cai Yin bumped into Yin Lin, she was the one who fell.
"Esteemed wangfei, this little girl is very careless. As soon as this servant left, she rushed over in a hurry. If it wasn't for this servant being so nimble, I wonder what would have happened." Although Yin Lin was very obedient in front of Xiao Ruyue, she always had strict requirements for the servants in Phoenix Palace.
If Cai Yin could not give a reasonable explanation this time, she would probably suffer a great deal.
"Niangniang, it's not like that. This servant did not do it on purpose. Something big has happened. " Cai Yin said with a panicked expression.
Xiao Ruyue said unhurriedly, "Speak properly, what happened?"
"It's the Blue palace. The king and Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie of the Blue palace were in big trouble. She suddenly vomited blood.
After looking carefully, Cai Yin's expression was a little dazed, and her speech was also incoherent.
Xiao Ruyue frowned, and looked at Yin Lin: "Go to Blue palace, and take a look at what's going on."
Yin Lin received the order and left. Not long after, she brought a young eunuch in, "Empress, it's the person from Blue palace that came to deliver the news."
The eunuch hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Ruyue. "Your servant greets the empress. "Empress, something bad has happened. Something big has happened."
"I'm fine," Xiao Ruyue was annoyed by these people as he knew how to speak without much emphasis. "Did something happen to your Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie?"
"Yes, yes, yes. It's my Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie. The Empress's foresight is truly divine. After dinner, my concubine was copying the books when she suddenly vomited blood. Blue palace is in chaos. "
"Have you invited an imperial physician?"
The eunuch gave a start before saying, "He's already gone to call the imperial physician." This servant came first to inform you. "
Xiao Ruyue's face did not look good, and she ordered Yin Lin: "Pack up, let's go to Blue palace to take a look."
As he said this, he stood up and ordered the others to withdraw.
Xiao Ruyue casually picked up a dress and put it on, her hair tied up a bit, and then headed to Blue palace.
It was just as the young eunuch had said, the Blue palace was in a mess.
There was no one reporting his arrival, when Xiao Ruyue entered the room, he saw that all the palace maids and eunuchs were gathered in front of Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's bed.
The more people there were, the more murky the air became. This is very bad for the patient.
The imperial physician hadn't arrived yet, so it was unknown what he was waiting for.
"Stop surrounding them, do what you need to do." After all, Yin Lin was a manager and had experience.
Only Huo Xiang, the personal maid of Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, and the two little palace maids who were serving in front of the bed remained.
"Empress Dowager, please save my esteemed mistress, she …" When she saw Xiao Ruyue, Lotus Fragrance immediately kneeled down before him, tears streaming down her face.
"Get up first. The imperial physician will definitely be here soon." Xiao Ruyue helped her up, "Lu Yi, go out and take a look. See what the imperial physicians are doing."
Lu Yi replied, "Yes." He then hurriedly left.
Xiao Ruyue sat in front of the bed. Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's face was pale white, but her lips were a little purple. There were still traces of blood on the corner of her mouth.
She took Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's pulse. Her pulse was very strange, sometimes urgent, sometimes slow, sometimes powerful, sometimes weak. This was the sign of being poisoned.
However, she was still at the entry level and didn't have much skill. It was just that she was unable to see through most of them.
Xiao Ruyue's eyes flashed with a cold glint, she turned to look at the lotus flower, "What strange thing did your Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie come in contact with?"
When Lotus was asked this question, she was clearly stunned for a moment. "My Empress, after eating dinner and bathing and changing clothes, she said that she wanted to copy out the ritual scriptures and only drank tea."
Evening meal, tea, how could these common things be poisonous?
Xiao Ruyue pondered for a moment, and turned to look at Yin Lin. Yin Lin immediately understood her intention, and asked her, "Where is the tea that Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang is drinking? Have the leftovers of the dinner ever been sent back to the royal kitchen? "
"I drank half of the tea, it's still here." It seems that the eunuch who came to the royal kitchen to collect the boxes hasn't come. He's still here. "
"Come with me." Yin Lin instructed, and Lotus did not dare hesitate, and followed along.
At this time, Lu Yi brought the Imperial Physician in. The Imperial Physician was Wang Yun's Imperial Physician Wang, and if there were any problems, it was most likely him.
"This humble subject pays his respects to the empress." Imperial Physician Wang greeted Xiao Ruyue when he saw him.
Xiao Ruyue waved her hand: "Life is in the sky, let me take a look at Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang's situation first."
The Imperial Physician Wang stood up, and Xiao Ruyue too, stood up and gave his a seat so that the Imperial Physician Wang could check Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's pulse.
Imperial Physician Wang took two pulses and shouted in shock, "Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie has been poisoned!"
This was indeed the case.
Xiao Ruyue nodded her head, "Does Imperial Physician know what poison Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie is infected with?"
"This is an ordinary poisonous substance, it is not difficult to cure, this humble one will start to help Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie vomit." As Imperial Physician Wang spoke, the medicine boy that came with him had already opened the medicine box and was preparing the ink and paper.
Imperial Physician Wang took his pen and quickly wrote down a prescription. He instructed the medicine boy: "Immediately bring the medicine back to the dispensary. Three bowls of water, fry eighty percent."
"Yes, Master." The medicine boy ran out quickly.
The Imperial Physician Wang asked Lu Yi and the young palace maid to help him pull up Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang's sleeves, take out a few silver needles and prick some of the acupoints on his arm, and then give a bottle to Lu Yi to feed to him.
He took the spittoon himself.
As soon as Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie swallowed the liquid in the bottle, her body started to twitch and spat out two mouthfuls of blood, then fell down.
The imperial physician took out a silver needle and pierced it into the acupoints on Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's face, busying herself with the process.
"Empress, I'm afraid that the Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's poison was planted in the diet. Can you let this humble subject see what the Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's Empress has to eat tonight?"
"Seeing that the situation in Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie is not right, I have already ordered some people to bring the evening meal and tea that the Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie will have tonight."
Imperial Physician Wang was surprised hearing this, but did not say anything.
Yin Lin and Lotus Fragrance, one carrying a box and the other a teacup, and the other an incense burner and brush, ink and paper, walked in.
