Sir, I can do it!

Wei Shuning had already fallen asleep, the dim candlelight reflected on her pale face, she was calm and indifferent.Li Huai stood in front of the couch and watched her, suddenly a soreness surged in his heart, as if the person in front of him was getting farther and farther away from him, and it seemed that he had never owned this person before.

"How is the queen?" Li Huai's eyes were slightly red and his voice was hoarse.

Chen Taiyi lay down on the ground and replied: "Your Majesty has narrowly escaped death. Although her pulse condition is temporarily stable, her body loss is serious, and her life expectancy may be affected."

After hearing the words, Mrs. Wei turned her eyes away from Wei Shuning's peaceful face, and asked the imperial doctor Chen: "If you can take care of yourself, how long will it last?"

Chen Taiyi faltered: "The life expectancy is mysterious and mysterious..."

Mrs. Wei waved her hand, and said impatiently: "Put away your tricks of telling half and hiding half, I only listen to the truth."

Imperial physician Chen glanced at Li Huai secretly, seeing his condensed gaze, his heart shrank suddenly, knowing that today was inevitable, he no longer concealed it: "At present, it seems that the mother's body is at the end of the day, if it were an ordinary person, it would have been hopeless. However, the empress is blessed by heaven, and suddenly there is a sliver of vitality in her body. If the empress can take care of her at ease, at least three years...Of course, the human body has unlimited possibilities, and the empress is still young. If there is a chance, she can live for ten years. "

Li Huai only knew what the imperial doctor said was dangerous, but he was not in the delivery room at that time, so he didn't know that Wei Shuning's body was full of death, which was a sign of exhaustion.But the old matriarch really felt it, so she had no doubts about what the imperial doctor said.It was the pill that did the trick.

Doctor Chen knew Wei Shuning's body best, but he subconsciously didn't mention the medicine in front of Li Huai.As for the other imperial physicians, they didn't see Mrs. Wei giving medicine to the queen, and they were still wondering why the queen's pulse suddenly became stronger.

Several imperial physicians trembled, wondering if the emperor would operate on them.Old Mrs. Wei put all her heart on Wei Shuning and turned a blind eye to Li Huai.The atmosphere in the room gradually froze.

Children are the most sensitive, perhaps because the oppressive atmosphere made him uncomfortable, the little prince hummed weakly twice.

Nanny Gui hurriedly coaxed him softly, but saw that the little prince's face was flushed unnaturally, and his body also started to feel hot.Nanny Gui was shocked: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the little prince."

Li Huai's gaze turned cold, and Nanny Gui thought he was annoyed at Sun Wenpo.It was Mrs. Wei who said, "Physician Chen, please take a look."

After speaking, he glanced lightly at Li Huai.

Li Huai lowered his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up."

Mrs. Wei snorted coldly in her heart.Li Huai wanted to use this child as a target, but as long as he was a target for a day, this child would still be Li Huai's son, the only son.

Of course, Mrs. Wei knew the identity of this child, lamented that good fortune made people foolish, and even lamented how stupid her granddaughter was.

Doctor Chen took the pulse and felt for a while, then suddenly felt very tired.Ever since Qionghua Palace gave birth, the harem has not been peaceful.He was about to hate those people behind the scenes.He doesn't want to know what will happen to them, he just wants to know if he can walk out of Yongning Palace in one piece today.

"Back, back to the emperor, the little prince's body is weak, as if he had been damaged in the mother's womb. The empress wrestled during childbirth, and suffered from bleeding after induced labor..."

Doctor Chen always felt that something was wrong.Ordinarily, the empress had already protected her belly when she wrestled, so even if the little prince's body was damaged, it wouldn't be a big problem.The induction of labor is mainly based on acupuncture, and the mother gave birth very smoothly.But looking at the little prince's pulse, it was a bit strange, as if the pregnant woman had been exposed to something that promotes blood circulation and removed blood stasis, causing the fetus to be seriously injured in the mother's body.

Pregnant women should avoid this kind of medicine the most, Yongning Palace and Shangxiatietong together, such obvious things will definitely not appear.But the sudden blood collapse of the empress after childbirth is really unacceptable.Although Doctor Chen was humble on the surface, he was still very confident in his medical skills. Not to mention [-]% certainty, at least [-]% to [-]% certainty in the set of acupuncture to stop bleeding.But after the acupuncture, it became more and more serious, which made it even more difficult for Dr. Chen to understand where the problem occurred.And the little prince's weakness is obviously due to this problem.

Doctor Chen knows the rules of survival in the harem, and always seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.However, the symptoms of the queen's delivery were clearly beyond his comprehension after years of medical practice.His strong intuition told him that there was a big problem here.Although he has no evidence, he can tell the truth about the case.

Li Huai's eyes flickered.The method that even the imperial physician can't find evidence is really brilliant.Not only that, the fact that the other party was able to succeed under such heavy defenses in Yongning Palace shows the depth of its power.And a person who can possess such power...

Li Huai's eyes became deeper and deeper: "I have only had such a son-in-law for many years, and I love him very much. The queen almost died because of this son. The father and son of Zhen Guohou guarded the border to protect the Daqi border. The Imperial Physician must protect the health of the emperor's son."

Imperial doctor Chen complained endlessly in his heart, but responded respectfully on his face.

Li Huai turned around and said to Old Madam Wei: "My son is of great status and will be protected by the heavens."

Old Madam Wei stood up and saluted, and said with a blank expression, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Dawn had come, and a ray of light appeared.

Wei Zhao rubbed his sore eyes, and softly called the maid.

"How's the situation with the queen?"

The little maid is only a third-class maid, she doesn't know the details, she just said: "I haven't heard anything."

"Where's Changle?"

"Miss Wei Er accompanied the princess, and she just ordered a bowl of porridge. The second miss also ordered the small kitchen to prepare a bowl for the third son."

Wei Zhao took the facekerchief handed over by the little maid and wiped his face, the warm and soft touch swept away his tiredness.He had no appetite, barely drank half a bowl of porridge and went to the side hall.

Changle cried all night, and at this time she was tired from crying, and was coaxed by Wei Shuhua to barely fall asleep.Hearing from the maid that Wei Zhao was outside the palace, she followed Qin'er to guard Changle, and pushed the door lightly to go out.

In the early morning of April, the air was mixed with a bit of coolness. When the clear wind blew, the gloom in my heart slowly dissipated.

The two siblings stood on the porch and on the open space under the stone steps, talking a few words between them.Both fortunate and sad.

Fortunately, their elder sister is alive, but what is sad is how difficult the road for the elder sister will be in the future.

Li Huai had already gone back to Xuanming Hall to handle government affairs, and Sun Wenpo was also taken away by Li Huai's people.Gao Hai was temporarily dismissed due to dereliction of duty. Li Huai proposed Mingde to be the interim supervisor of internal supervision, and was in charge of interrogating Sun Wenpo.

Doctor Chen was left in Yongning Palace.Right now, Wei Shuning's condition has eased, and the little prince has also been put to sleep.All the doctors were relieved.

Wei Zhao called Imperial Physician Chen to inquire about the situation at that time.Imperial physician Chen knew that Nanny Gui, who was beside the empress, knew a little about the technique of Qihuang, and he had already told the truth when the emperor was around, and the old matriarch was also listening.Now that Wei Zhao asked again, he had nothing to hide.

Thinking of Wei Zhao's two previous murder cases, Imperial Physician Chen told him in more detail.Although he knew that protecting the palace is the most important thing, but as a doctor, he can't be indifferent to this kind of situation.

"...I can't guarantee anything else. This acupuncture technique is my housekeeping skill. At first, my mother gave birth smoothly and there were no signs of abnormality. The mother and child are safe. But soon after the acupuncture, my mother began to bleed. Acupuncture to stop the bleeding has no effect."

"Doctor Chen is sure that he was affected by the medicine?"

Imperial Physician Chen pondered for a while, then replied after deliberation: "Generally speaking, maternal blood collapse is due to the large size of the fetus, which damages the birth canal and causes bleeding. The queen was in good health, and she was induced to give birth in time after the fall. Although there was a possibility of bleeding, the probability was not high, and it would not be completely unstoppable. Moreover, judging from the pulse of the little prince, it was very likely that she was affected by drugs. "

Wei Zhao set his gaze on Imperial Physician Chen's medicine box: "I wonder if I can take a look at Imperial Physician Chen's silver needle."

Doctor Chen opened the medicine box and handed the needle pack to Wei Zhao. Thinking that he suspected the problem was in the medicine box, he explained: "A medicine box is to a doctor what a sword is to a swordsman. As an imperial doctor, a medicine box is life-saving. It is also a thing that harms people. Therefore, the medicine box of the minister is never out of sight, and even the medicine boy dare not touch it."

"That is to say, there is no possibility for anyone else to take over this medicine box except for Imperial Physician Chen?"

Doctor Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Wei Zhao did not continue, but took out a silver needle from the needle bag and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff, and said: "If what Chen Taiyi said before is true, then the eldest sister has the most contact with other people besides Sun Wenpo during childbirth. It was Chen Taiyi who was an outsider. And Sun Wenpo was arrested immediately, and Eunuch Gao did not find any medicine hidden in her body during the interrogation process."

Chen Taiyi said: "Even if Sun Wenpo has that kind of thing on her body, she doesn't dare to hide it. After all, the medicine has a strong smell and is easy to be found. Even if a small amount of medicine is exposed to the mother, it will not have much effect. Unless Sun Wenpo has the opportunity to put medicine in the queen's diet. But the queen's diet has always been handled by the fan girl, and the queen's seizures happened after a fall, Sun Wenpo doesn't seem to have this opportunity."

Wei Zhao stared quietly at the silver needle in his hand. For some reason, Imperial Physician Chen always felt chills down his spine.

"What if the problem is the silver needle."

Wei Zhao's light words made Imperial Physician Chen shiver violently.

"Emperor Chen is a master of gynecology, with excellent medical skills. Since the doctor Chen confirmed that there is no problem with the oxytocin needle and the hemostatic needle, and the elder sister did not take other medicines during childbirth, is it possible that the problem appeared on the silver needle? Someone in the silver needle Quenched the liquid medicine."

Doctor Chen felt dizzy for a while, but the lives of the Chen family were at stake, so he pinched his thigh secretly, the pain made him barely regain consciousness.

"I have heard that it is often said that poison is quenched on hidden weapons in the Jianghu. In the same way, it is also feasible to quench the liquid medicine on silver needles and then enter the human body through meridians. Medicine and poison have something in common, but when treating patients The methods used are not the same. We can use fumigation when performing acupuncture, but it is rare to directly apply medicinal liquid on silver needles."

"Moreover, the liquid medicine applied on the silver needle will slowly dissipate over time, and even if there is residue, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced. Since the Queen's delivery date is approaching, I have been left in the palace. The day has not been out of the palace. If the medicinal solution on the silver needle takes effect, three days is the golden time. In other words, if there is such a possibility, it means that someone in the palace boiled the medicinal solution within three days and secretly took the minister's silver needle Replaced. However, private possession of medicines is prohibited in the palace. The outflow of every medicine is strictly controlled, and the imperial hospital will keep records. If the silver needles flow in from outside the palace, then entering and exiting several palace gates can avoid guards' interrogation , I really can't imagine who can have such a superb ability."

"Not to mention scheduling in the palace, the cooperation is perfect, but the convenience of soaking silver needles is very rare. I have little knowledge, but I also know that simple blood circulation and blood stasis are not enough to cause such serious consequences in small doses. The empress almost died because of this, and the medicinal liquid was only poured into the body through the silver needle, one can imagine how strong the medicinal liquid is. At least I have never heard of it in my lifetime."

"One more thing, women give birth sooner or later, and the time is uncertain. It is convenient to think of this method, and there is no guarantee that the queen will give birth when the silver needle is still effective. Not to mention that the queen's mother is older than the estimated delivery date. Eight days too early."

Wei Zhao put the silver needle back into the needle bag, squinted his eyes and said, "So this is the real use of Sun Wenpo."
