at the same time.

Concubine Lan's personal maid, Hong Jian, had already prepared the medicine and delivered it according to Zhou He's instructions.

Zhou He was nearby and immediately said: "Give Concubine Lan a quick dose of this medicine."

Hong Jian carried the medicine over and fed it to his master.

After a moment, Zhou He removed the silver needle from Concubine Lan.

Zheng Shiyao felt slightly relieved at this moment, but even after drinking the decoction, her body felt warm, but it was only for a moment. It was obviously extremely warm in the palace, but she always felt that there was a chill in her body.

Zheng Shiyao, who had recovered, looked at the emperor who was guarding her, with tears in her eyes, and her tone became more cowardly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with me? My body...someone wants to harm me!"

Xuanyuan Che was not in a hurry to speak directly, he only said: "My concubine, please take a good rest. I have ordered people to verify this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Wang Wanning stood by and said in a broad voice: "Yes, the most important thing for my sister right now is to take good care of her health. Don't worry about other things."

Zheng Shiyao frowned and looked at the queen beside her. She didn't believe it in her heart. This matter had nothing to do with the queen. Who dared to tamper with her medicinal drink? Who dared to be so presumptuous.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen." Zheng Shiyao turned to Zhou He and asked, "Mr. Zhou, how is my health?"

As soon as Zhou He heard this, he immediately knelt down and fell on the ground. His voice trembled and he said: "My Lady, that bowl of medicinal drink was mixed with something extremely cold. The refining of this medicine is very strange. I am incompetent." , it cannot be cracked for the moment, but please rest assured, I will do my best to take good care of you."

After listening to what Zhou He said, Zheng Shiyao's face, which had turned pale because of the discomfort just now, turned even paler now, "I feel that my body is extremely cold. Even in this palace, which is very warm, it still feels cold." It means, so what is the condition of my body?"

Zhou He said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's body is cold, and if it is stimulated by that extremely cold thing, your Majesty's body will feel weak and afraid of the cold even in the middle of summer, because... therefore, your Majesty's body... your body, I want to It’s harder to get pregnant than to reach heaven.”

Zheng Shiyao's whole body collapsed instantly, tears flowed straight from her eyes, and her eyes were red from crying, "Your Majesty, who is so evil-hearted that he framed this concubine like this? Zhou He, you have always been responsible for the medicinal drinks in this palace. This is what you are responsible for!"

Zhou He kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is none of Wei Chen's business. Wei Chen is the imperial physician who is specifically responsible for the Imperial Concubine. How dare you be vague and careless about such matters? For so long, Wei Chen has never made any mistakes." , there must be something fishy about what happened today, please be more careful."

At this time, Li Mo had also returned.

"Your Majesty, I have found out that the imperial concubine's medicinal drinks are prepared by the people under the Imperial Physician Zhou. After the medicine is prepared, the Imperial Physician Zhou will check it again, and then hand it over to the servants below to brew it in the pharmacy. After it’s cooked, Dr. Zhou will check it again and send it to the imperial concubine.”

Li Mo continued: "But today, the person who originally delivered the medicine to the Imperial Concubine was not feeling well, so he was replaced by another servant. The servant carefully checked and found that the man did not admit that he had touched the Imperial Concubine's medicinal drink. The servant has sent people who are responsible for the imperial concubine’s medicine to the Department of Punishment, and they must be told the truth.”

Xuanyuan Che didn't care about this matter at all, and what Li Mo said naturally didn't take it seriously. He just looked at the queen beside him and said, "What did the queen say?"

Wang Wan Ning said: "Your Majesty, a bowl of soup has been handled by too many people. In addition to the people who have handled it on the surface, there are also people who have come into contact with it on the way from Taiyuan Hospital to Xingqing Palace. We need to check clearly."

Zheng Shiyao was leaning on the couch weakly. She really couldn't lift herself up at all, and her body was cold and cold. She knew very well that no matter how many people were checked, there would probably be no trace of anything. In the end, I really didn't expect that she would be careless in this matter.

Zheng Shiyao was also annoyed at this. She had been used to this all along, but who would have thought that the place where she was sure there would be no problems would just put her in jail with a bowl of medicinal drink. Let her body be as cold as ice and it will be difficult for her to get pregnant. If she ends up like this in the harem, there is no doubt who is benefiting from behind.

Xuanyuan Che looked at Concubine Lan on the couch and said, "What the Queen said is true."

Zheng Shiyao looked at the Queen, sipped softly, and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen is right, a bowl of medicinal drink has been handled by too many people, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to get results from such an investigation. In my opinion, Since they were the ones who made the mistake, then execute everyone who came into contact with this bowl of medicinal drink, so as to warn them to be cautious in their actions in the future."

Xuanyuan Che: "What does the noble concubine mean by not allowing me to investigate further?"

Zheng Shiyao sobbed and said: "I understand the emperor's intention towards treating me. Rather than getting entangled over this, it's better to end it completely. I don't want to embarrass the emperor."

Xuanyuan Che glanced meaningfully at Zheng Shiyao, then at Wang Wanning beside him, and before speaking, he gave an order, "Li Mo, if you heard this, just do as the imperial concubine said and execute them all."

Li Mo: "Yes, I understand."

Zhou He knelt there shivering, not daring to say a word.

When such a big incident occurred, it would be impossible for the Taiyuan Hospital to remain calm. As the head of the Taiyuan Hospital, Liu Fu, of course, came over in a hurry.

As soon as Liu Fu entered the palace, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen, and the Imperial Concubine, I have mismanaged the Imperial Hospital. Please punish me."

Wang Wan Ning said casually: "The person in charge of the body of the imperial concubine is Zhou He. Although Liu Fu is the head of the imperial hospital, you have a lot of things to do on weekdays. In addition, you have to take care of Concubine Chen recently. If this incident happened suddenly, how could it be you? It’s predictable.”

Xuanyuan Che said coldly: "Liu Fu, all the people in the Taiyuan Hospital's pharmacy who are responsible for brewing medicine and delivering medicines to the concubines should be eliminated and replaced. If there is such a mistake again in the Taiyuan Hospital, you, the head of the Taiyuan Hospital, will not have to do it. Don’t do it again.”

Liu Fu: "Yes, Wei Chen understands that Wei Chen will thoroughly rectify Tai Hospital from top to bottom and never let what happened today happen again."

Xuanyuan Che: "How is the imperial concubine doing now? She may move and return to Zhaohua Palace as soon as possible. As for Zhou He this time, the imperial concubine is up to you to decide."

Zheng Shiyao: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhou has been responsible for my concubine's body for a long time. Although he is responsible for this incident, let him take the blame and make a good contribution to my concubine's health."

Xuanyuan Che: "Forget it, since the noble concubine has spoken, I will follow the noble concubine's wishes."

Zhou He: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and the Concubine. I will do my best to take care of the Concubine."
