Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The palace is indeed a nasty place.

Xia Baian narrowed his eyes.

"I used to live in a poor village with pockmarks on my face. I never left my homeland for even half a step. I didn't know His Royal Highness King An until I came to work in the palace. As for the disheveled clothes, I rushed in because I was afraid that something might happen to His Highness King An. I accidentally fell, and my arm even hit the edge of the bed..."

Saying that, Xia Bai'an pulled up his cuffs towards the little eunuch, and sure enough, he saw a patch of bruise on his wrist.

The little eunuch frowned, and retreated to whisper a few words into the emperor's ear.

Concubine Degui clenched her back molars secretly.

When did Xia Bai'an come up with such a suitable reason!

However, if Xia Bai'an could cheat, could Li Chen on the bed also cheat?

Before the emperor could reply, she had already taken a few steps forward: "Your Majesty, if what the imperial physician Xia said is true, then His Highness King An should be unable to move his limbs at this time, why don't you invite other imperial physicians to come and have a look, so that nothing happens. good."

"Ah."

The emperor nodded lightly.

Nurse Mingxin who was beside the queen mother stepped forward and pulled Xia Bai'an up: "The imperial physician will come to check the prince's pulse later on. As a woman, the imperial physician Xia should wait outside first."

Xia Bai'an's heart skipped a beat.

If she left, what would Li Chen do if he talked nonsense?

But Nanny Mingxin and the Empress Dowager asked him to leave, because they still wanted to avoid suspicion and not get involved in this matter.

After hesitating for a moment, she could only bet that Li Chen would speak well, and went outside the door with Nurse Mingxin.

After a while, Tao Ji hurried over to diagnose Li Chen's pulse.

Xia Bai'an knelt outside, staring at the lines on the corridor pillars, slightly raised his brows, and muttered to himself: "The matter of being drugged will definitely be revealed, this matter... I'm afraid I will have to investigate it endlessly."

Sure enough, she was right in refusing to be an imperial physician for the first time.

Now she suddenly regrets getting the queen mother's protection, this imperial doctor is not a human being at all!

Sure enough, the queen mother's angry reprimand soon came from the hall.

"How could this kind of medicine appear in the palace! Could it be that King An rolled off the bed just because he was given this medicine!"

Concubine Degui also scolded angrily: "Go and investigate! Back to the emperor, since the previous New Year's Eve banquet, the concubines have ordered people to strictly check the medicines in the harem, and all the medicines in the imperial hospital are counted every day. There is no way such a mistake will happen! .”

The emperor said: "In this way, there must be some unruly person who brought the medicine in...Come here, drag Xia Bai'an in!"

"..."

What a crime she did!

Xia Bai Ansheng was dragged into the hall without love, kneeled upright, and explained slowly.

"Reporting to the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Concubine Degui, when I entered the palace, the guards and maids checked carefully, and they did not bring any other medicine with me. In addition, when I was talking with Senior Tao in the imperial hospital, I had already changed the medicine. The medicine box already in the palace... If the concubine Degui checks correctly, there is no way this thing will appear in the medicine box of the minister!"

Tao Ji also knelt down when he heard the words.

"Reporting to the emperor, I did see that the doctor Xia had changed the medicine box used in the palace. The things in the medicine box are exactly the same, and there is absolutely no such filth."

Although the Empress Dowager was frowning, with her two fingers tightened under the cuffs, she still pretended to be calm and breezy.

"Tao Ji can be regarded as an old imperial doctor in the palace. If Xia Bai'an really has such a mistake, he can't possibly fail to find it. But the emperor should take good care of his own harem. I'm afraid someone has a wrong idea and intends to hook up with King An. Rumors spread to Concubine Degui's ears, and there was such a commotion."

Concubine Degui's face was earthy.

The emperor's eyes wandered back and forth among several people, and finally fell on Xia Bai'an slowly.

"Prince Xia, from now on you will only treat the concubines in the harem. I didn't ask you to practice medicine only for the palace like other imperial physicians, but you should also know the difference between men and women."

"I understand. I would like to thank the emperor for proving my innocence. However, the toxin in King An's body is still unclear. This is the prescription. Please take a look at it."

Xia Bai'an carefully presented the prescription he wrote down.

The emperor is the most suspicious.

He said on the surface that he had nothing to do, but it didn't mean that he didn't have doubts about himself.

If the imperial physician in the harem gets too close to a prince, to the emperor, it is like a sharp knife by the pillow.

The emperor took the prescription and showed it to Tao Ji.

Tao Ji said: "This is indeed an antidote, and this medicine is really not easy to mix, no wonder the doctor Xia stayed in the palace for a while, it should be because he remembered this unorthodox prescription."

"Ah."

The suspicion in the emperor's eyes was much less, and he waved his hand to signal them to leave.

The rest has nothing to do with Xia Bai'an.

Tao Ji took Xia Bai'an all the way back to the imperial hospital, and sat down in the side hall with few people. Tao Ji drank a pot of tea nervously, and looked at Xia Bai'an with hatred: "Sure enough, you shouldn't have been assigned to An Wang's pulse diagnosis!"

Xia Bai'an just comforted in a low voice without making any comments.

If someone with a heart wants to harm someone, even if they sit at home, the crime can fall from the sky.

She's just weird.

This time, the other party was targeting her.

Or is it aimed at Li Chen?

She couldn't think clearly, and couldn't see clearly the muddy water in the palace, so she simply used the excuse of a slight arm injury to avoid the subsequent rotation, let alone come to the palace, so as not to cause any trouble.

Xia Bai'an retreated completely.

However, Concubine Degui was severely reprimanded by the emperor.

"If you can't manage my harem well, let other people manage it."

Concubine Degui knelt on the ground, weeping like a rainy pear flower: "The concubine also thought that Wang An would always attract the attention of his mother, so she thought, if I can use this to let Wang An know how to keep his own place, it would be fine... I didn't expect that It's really groundless rumors, the concubine made a joke, so I ask the emperor to punish me!"

As she spoke, Concubine Degui raised her red eyes from crying, and I looked at the emperor with pity.

The emperor's heart softened for a moment, thinking that she had good intentions for him, so he had to wave his hand to give up, but he still punished her and ordered her to be confined in the palace to copy the women's commandments, which can be regarded as an explanation for King An's humiliation.

Concubine Degui gritted her teeth with hatred, and started to complain.

"This Yunxue, will she inquire about the news! Baozhu, ask someone to tell you that if this kind of thing happens again in the future, she should keep her eyes open and see clearly, and don't drag me into trouble!"

"Yes."

Baozhu Shi Shi suddenly retreated.

When Yun Xue heard the news, she also turned pale with shock, and looked at Huang Min in disbelief.

"Didn't we all plan it out! We knocked one out, drugged one, how could she still get around!"

Huang Min was slightly taken aback, also finding this strange.

This matter should have been unclear, Xia Bai'an proved his innocence, and Wang An was drugged, can he really bear it?

Moreover, if Wang An had planned for himself, he should have directly given up Xia Bai'an, a young imperial physician, to prove his innocence.

But both of them escaped unscathed, and among them, they must have helped each other.

Huang Min said bluntly: "I can't tell, what really happened between King An and Xia Bai'an."
