www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

This day was particularly long and depressing for everyone in Bixiaotang, until a little maid's slightly excited shout rang out in the yard: "The old lady is here! The old lady Lin is here!"

Xiao Yi had just given Nangong Yue another wet wipe and cold compress. When he heard that Lin Jingchen was coming, he quickly stood up and looked in the direction of the door curtain.

After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far away, and with the sound of curtain lifting, Que'er led Lin Jingchen and Han Qixia in at a fast pace.

Lin Jingchen and Han Qixia were both dressed in Tsing Yi, very plainly dressed, and their descriptions showed a bit of travel. It was obvious at a glance that they had just returned to Lin's house when they were led to Bixiaotang by Magpie.

The faces of both the grandfather and grandson could not hide their worry.

"Grandpa!" Xiao Yi took half a step forward. The moment he saw Lin Jingchen, his restless heart seemed to have a backbone.

He took a deep breath, stepped aside a little, and said: "Grandpa, after Ayue took the medicine she prescribed, her fever subsided for a while, but the fever soon came back. Now she is still sleeping 'Here..." As he spoke, Xiao Yi's voice was bitter. He didn't know whether Nangong Yue was sleeping or in a coma...

Lin Jingchen nodded slightly and sat down on the small quilt beside the bed. Baihui slightly opened a corner of the brocade quilt and pulled Nangong Yue's right wrist out from under the brocade quilt.

Lin Jingchen stroked his right cuff with his left hand, and the three fingers of his right hand gently rested on Nangong Yue's white wrist. He half-closed his eyes and did not speak for a while...

Han Qixia silently opened the medicine box aside, always on standby, while her eyes nervously looked at Nangong Yue's sleeping face, and then looked at Lin Jingchen's expression.

After a moment, Han Qixia felt something was wrong and frowned slightly.

Among the people present, apart from the "sleeping" Nangong Yue, the person who knew Lin Jingchen best was none other than Han Qixia.

During the year with Lin Jingchen, Han Qixia followed him to practice medicine, traveled with him to collect medicines, and followed him to practice medicine. She had seen Lin Jingchen check the pulses of thousands of people, whether it was No matter how serious the disease is, Lin Jingchen only needs three breaths to feel his pulse, and he already knows it.

But now it’s more than three breaths. Time passes little by little. At this moment, time seems to be slowed down by some mysterious force, and it passes especially slowly...

Gradually, not only Han Qixia, but also Xiao Yi and several maids also felt something was wrong.

It took too long to detect Lin Jingchen’s pulse. Is there anything wrong with Nangong Yue’s pulse?

Baihui has some medical skills, and her feeling is more acute and direct, as if a huge stone is pressing on her heart. The Crown Princess is good at medicine and has always been in good health. She rarely gets sick on weekdays. This time, the illness came violently and seemed to come out of nowhere... Moreover, the Crown Princess was in a coma for three hours due to a high fever. Such symptoms Baihui always feels a little weird.

Baihui's heart sank little by little, and there was a vague premonition in her heart.

In the inner room, there was silence, not even the sound of breathing could be heard, and there was a depressing feeling in the air that a storm was coming.

At this time, Lin Jingchen finally retracted his hand, his face was as heavy as water, his eyes were lowered and he was silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Xiao Yi clenched his fists and finally couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, Ah Yue..."

Lin Jingchen seemed not to hear anything. After a while, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yi and said slowly and solemnly: "Ayi, there is something wrong with Yue'er's pulse..."

After he finished speaking, the inner room became quiet again, a dead silence, as if there were layers of thick clouds pressing on everyone's heads.

Xiao Yi's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, feeling as if there were several holes in his heart, and the cold wind blew through his heart...

Huamei, Que'er and Ying'er all had pretty faces as pale as paper. Huamei murmured: "Didn't the Crown Princess catch a cold and have a fever?"

"Sister Xia, get me a silver needle..." Lin Jingchen stretched out a hand and said.

Han Qixia, who was originally dull, suddenly came to her senses and quickly took out a needle pack from the medicine box, while Baihui handed a clean white towel to Lin Jingchen and asked him to wipe his hands.

Lin Jingchen skillfully took out a silver needle from the needle bag, pinched the index finger of Nangong Yue's right hand with one hand, and quickly pricked her fingertip.

The bright red blood bloomed on her white fingertips like a strange demon flower, so red it was dazzling...

Lin Jingchen's movements are naturally extremely fast and neat, which can be seen from Nangong Yue's relatively peaceful face.

Xiao Yi on the side couldn't help but clenched his fists. He had suffered many injuries, large and small, on the battlefield, and he was not moved. But at this moment, he felt as if his heart was being stabbed by the tip of a needle. one time.

Lin Jingchen picked up a white handkerchief and wiped away the blood stains on Nangong Yue's fingertips. He then asked Han Qixia to get a bottle of medicinal powder and sprinkle some on the blood stains.

The blood-colored blood stains on the veil slowly became darker until they turned black and red.

Lin Jingchen was thoughtful for a moment, looked at Xiao Yi solemnly, and said, "Ayi, Yue'er is most likely poisoned!"

Poisoned? ! Everyone's pupils shrank and they looked at each other.

With Nangong Yue’s medical skills, it would not be easy to poison her!

The first thing Baihui thought of was the kitchen. Could it be that someone in the kitchen had done something? However, the food that the Crown Princess eats is often given to the maids in the yard, and everyone seems to have no problem. They even smelled the incense in the house...what else could it be? !

Lin Jingchen stroked his beard and said slowly: "If what I expected is correct, what Yue'er got must be a kind of chronic poison..." As he said that, he squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the sleeping figure. Nangong Yue looked at it, "Actually, the poison in Yue'er is not deep. It should not have been discovered now, but because Yue'er was a child, she was in trouble..."

After a pause, Lin Jingchen explained: "Yue'er's mother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Yue'er, so Yue'er's physique was born weaker than others, and judging from the pulse, Yue'er was seriously ill again six or seven years ago. ..."

Baihui remembered something and said: "Old Master, I remember An Niang mentioned that when the Crown Princess was nine years old, she once had a high fever for several days in a row and was seriously ill for a long time, which frightened the second lady... ...Fortunately, I woke up later." Could this be what Mr. Lin was talking about?

Lin Jingchen nodded slightly and continued: "After recovering from the illness, Yue'er should have taken care of herself carefully. As she got older, her body and bones became much healthier, but after all, she was not as good as ordinary people, so This time, I was slightly aroused by the toxin, and I suddenly fell ill." Lin Jingchen looked at Nangong Yue with a complicated expression, and sighed, "This time, for Yue'er, I don't know whether it is a blessing or not. Disaster..."

Everyone was confused by Lin Jingchen's last words.

Lin Jingchen quickly explained: "Although this poison is not strong, it slowly acts on the body, just like termites taking up residence in a house. No changes are visible at first, but over time, the toxin accumulates to a certain level. , just like a house that has been eaten away by termites, which may harm one's life at worst, or damage the internal organs at worst. As the saying goes, when a thousand-mile embankment collapses in the ant nest, then there will be real trouble. ... At this moment, although Yue'er's situation is It's a bit dangerous, but it's not a desperate situation. I first try to reduce Yue'er's fever and stabilize her physical condition. Then I have to find a way to find the source of the toxin. I have to know what kind of poison it is so that I can prescribe the right medicine..."

"Check!" Xiao Yi said coldly, his voice seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his throat. Although it was just one word, it was like the cold wind of winter, making people feel bitingly cold when listening to it.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on him. His face seemed to be covered with a layer of snow and frost, and a cold light shot out from his eyes. In an instant, his whole body released a fierce murderous aura, like a ruthless head. Like a ferocious beast.

Xiao Yi always looked smiling and cynical on weekdays. This was the first time for Lin Jingchen and Han Qixia to see Xiao Yi with such murderous intent. They were both shocked and sighed inwardly: Yes, Xiao Yi after all He led the army to defeat Baiyue and Nanliang.

In southern Xinjiang, he is the God of War among the people;

But to enemies like Baiyue and Nanliang, he is the God of Killing!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Baihui accepted the order carefully.

Following, Xiao Yi's expression softened a little, and he bowed to Lin Jingchen cautiously: "Grandpa, I'm leaving it to you, Ayue!" His dark eyes looked at Lin Jingchen for a moment, the brave general who killed him just a moment ago, At this moment, he becomes a helpless child, a child who is afraid of losing his loved ones.

Lin Jingchen smiled: "Ayi, Yue'er is my granddaughter." Why bother saying "please"!

After saying that, Lin Jingchen made a gesture to Han Qixia, and Han Qixia skillfully took out another rolled-up needle bag, unrolled it, spread it out into a long strip, and took out a candle to light it.

Seeing that Lin Jingchen was going to give Nangong Yue acupuncture, Baihui quickly started to do it, turning Nangong Yue's body sideways and lifting the brocade quilt a little.

Lin Jingchen calmed down, then twisted five golden needles, burned them with fire, and inserted them into Quchi, Hegu, Dazhui, Weizhong, and Fengchi points.

Soon, Nangong Yue's breathing calmed down. Baihui didn't know how many times she tested the temperature of Nangong Yue's forehead. She couldn't hide her surprise and said, "The fever is gone. The princess's fever is gone."

Lin Jingchen took the green handkerchief handed by Han Qixia, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "Ayi, in my opinion, this poison must be in a place where Yue'er can often come into contact. This house, The yard must be carefully surveyed..."

The night was getting darker, but the entire Bixiao Hall was commotion and boiling.

Bixiao Hall is completely closed, and no one is allowed to enter or exit at will.

The maids and women were looking around for suspicious things, and the most frightened person was probably the one in the kitchen. The steward in charge of the kitchen directed the people below to carefully check the existing ingredients, and then asked People are almost in a hurry to see the dishes produced in the kitchen this month...

Nangong Yue’s yard was not much better than the kitchen. The maids and women were nervously rummaging through the flowers and grass in the front and rear yards, fearing that some poisonous flowers, weeds, insects, etc. would be found. Come in.

Before the servants could find out what was going on, Aunt Chu, wearing a rust-colored dark-colored floral trousers, came with a dissatisfied look on her face.

Everyone in the Zhennan Palace knew about the Crown Prince's return, so naturally she also got the news. But thinking that the prince had just come back and needed a good rest after a long journey, he planned to come over to pay his respects early tomorrow morning. Who would have thought that just when she was about to rest, there was a sudden commotion all around. Those maids and women were running rampant and causing a mess in Bixiaotang. What a shame!

She can't ignore this matter.

So, Nanny Chu came in a hurry.

In the past few days, every time she tried to give advice to the Crown Princess, she was turned away and couldn't even enter the courtyard. However, now that the prince is back, let's see who dares to stop him.

Thinking about this, her steps became more brisk.

From a distance, I saw a young man in purple clothes accompanying an old man in simple clothes, inspecting the two magnolias in front of the yard.

This must be the prince!

Nanny Chu quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and shouted happily: "Your Majesty!"

She looked at the handsome young man in front of her with comforting eyes, her eyes slightly red.

The prince has really grown up!

When she left, the prince was only five years old. Now he is already a man of great dignity. His appearance is 60-70% similar to that of the late princess, but he is not feminine at all, but majestic!

The spirit of the late princess in heaven must be able to rest in peace when she sees the current prince!

Nanny Chu calmed down and said: "Master, do you still remember this slave?... When the late princess was still alive, she asked her to take good care of you. When you were a child, you liked the goat milk made by your slave the most. I have to use a bowl of egg custard every day. It's a pity that the slave couldn't help himself at that time... Fortunately, the slave is finally back now."

With a face of joy, Aunt Chu said to herself, "It's getting late, and I shouldn't have disturbed the prince late at night, but this Bixiao Hall is making a lot of noise, and it's really inappropriate to mobilize troops like this. , I think that when the late princess was still alive, this Bixiao Hall was in perfect order..."

Nanny Chu felt that she was loyal and courageous in giving advice, but Xiao Yi didn't want to listen to her nagging at all. He frowned and said without raising his head: "It's so noisy. Come on. Get out!"

Quie'er, who was carrying the medicine box for Mrs. Lin on the side, had long been accustomed to Xiao Yi's character of never giving anyone face, so he complied without changing his expression, while Aunt Chu was almost dumbfounded and almost didn't care. I dare to believe my ears: she is an old servant left by the late princess. The prince doesn’t look at the monk’s face and the Buddha’s face, so why should he give the late princess some respect?

Nanny Chu was stunned when Queer ordered the two women to drag her down.

"Your Majesty..." When Nanny Chu came back to her senses, she still wanted to call out, but one of the women covered her mouth. The mother-in-law thought to herself: Who doesn't know that the Crown Prince and his concubine are deeply in love? Aunt Chu doesn't know what she's talking about anymore, she looks like a fool at her age.

Nanny Chu was dragged down without even making a ripple here.

Mr. Lin quickly checked the two Magnolia grandiflora plants, shook his head and said: "No."

At this time, Huamei hurried over and said: "Old Master, I have sorted out the clothes and jewelry that the Crown Princess has worn these days, as well as the incense and bedding used in the house..."

Lin Jingchen nodded and said, "I'll go take a look."

Xiao Yi also quickly followed.

Everyone is busy performing their duties, not only clothes, jewelry, and daily furnishings, but also the books, calligraphy, and paintings that Nangong Yue has read these days, and the pens, inks, papers, and inkstones used have been sorted out one by one. , handed it over to Lin Jingchen for inspection.

However, these things were rejected one by one by Lin Jingchen. At this time, the sound of gongs was heard in the distance on the street outside. It was already past the second watch of the night.

Baihui lifted the curtain into the inner room and reported to Xiao Yi, who was sitting beside the couch: "Master, everything in Bixiaotang has been inspected by the old man of the Lin family, and nothing suspicious has been found."

"After the investigation of Bixiaotang, let's investigate the palace!" Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue's face with gentle eyes, but his voice was stern and cold, "Tell Zhu Xing, even if the entire palace is turned over, we still have to investigate !"

Even if we dig deep into the palace, we still have to find out clearly!

Baihui immediately knelt down and accepted the order. As long as the prince said this, they would naturally have the confidence to do things!

Zhennan Palace became commotion with Bixiao Hall as the center. The candles that had been extinguished were lit again one by one, illuminating the entire Palace as brightly lit as day.

It was so late at night, so the servants who originally slept and were not on duty were naturally unwilling to do so. However, at this time, they more or less heard that the reason why the Crown Prince was so aggressive was because the Crown Princess was seriously ill and bedridden. And it seems to have been poisoned! They were afraid of being implicated and even trembled before it was too late. They didn't dare to complain at all, not even murmuring secretly.

However, there are also people who secretly want to watch the fun. Everyone knows that the prince has always disliked the prince. The prince made such a big noise in the middle of the night, and they don't know if the prince will be furious.

The King of Zhennan happened not to go back to the backyard today, but rested in the study room in the front yard, so pairs of eyes were quietly staring at...

First, Aunt Mei walked into the study carrying supper... Not long after, the prince's entourage was called into the study.

I thought that a storm between father and son was about to begin, but no one expected that after Changsui came out, he passed the order of King Zhennan, asking all the stewards of the palace to cooperate with Bixiaotang. .

Fortunately, the nuns in charge of the inner courtyard have been subdued by Nangong Yue these days. The stewards in the outer courtyard were all dumbfounded. They almost wondered if they were dreaming. Didn't the prince always have a bad relationship with the prince? Doesn’t it mean that the mortal son thinks it’s good, but the prince thinks it’s bad?

Why doesn’t the prince care at all this time?

Is it because of the Crown Princess?

No matter what they thought, with the order of King Zhennan, a group of guards from Bixiaotang ran rampant in the inner and outer courtyards of the palace, sweeping through several places where the Crown Princess often visited... …

There was a huge commotion in the palace, and the movement naturally spread to the second room. A maid in Tsing Yi vividly reported to Qiu and Xiao Ni one by one.

Xiao Ni half-closed her eyes, her little face was as pale as paper, and her whole body was trembling slightly unconsciously, with shock and fear.

How could this happen? ! How could my sister-in-law be seriously ill? !

Miss Gu clearly swore to God that "that" would not endanger her sister-in-law's life. She clearly cursed to God. If she was not true, she would be struck by five thunders...

"Sister Ni!"

Qiu's call made Xiao Ni suddenly come back to her senses and look at her mother intuitively.

At this moment, the fear and insecurity in Xiao Ni's eyes were exposed to Qiu's eyes.

Knowing a daughter like a mother, Mrs. Qiu immediately noticed something was wrong with her daughter and hurriedly asked: "Sister Ni, what's wrong with you?"

Hurry and guilty, Xiao Ni avoided Mrs. Qiu's gaze, and then realized that the maid had gone out at some point, and only their mother and daughter were left in the room.

Seeing Xiao Ni's look, Qiu felt an unknown feeling in her heart. Her daughter made mistakes when she was a child and had this look on her face. Could it be that...

"Sister Ni!" Mrs. Qiu raised her voice slightly, with a sharpness in her voice. Xiao Ni still didn't dare to look at Mrs. Qiu, her bloodless lips trembled slightly...

There was a sound of lifting the curtain, and the maid in green clothes came in again, and stepped forward to report: "Second Madam, the movement in the palace has stopped. It seems that something poisoned has been found."

The maid said she was frightened and relieved at the same time. What was shocking was that there was someone in the palace who was really bold and wanted to harm the Crown Princess; what was relieved was that since the thing was found, it would be over tonight, and everyone would You can have a good sleep peacefully.

But what the maid didn't expect was that after she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room was still so heavy.

It seemed like something happened that she didn't know about...

The commotion in the Wang Mansion and Bixiaotang gradually subsided.

The candles began to be blown out again sporadically, but Nangong Yue's yard was still brightly lit.

Afraid of disturbing Nangong Yue who was resting in the inner room, most of the people moved to the east room.

Lin Jingchen and Xiao Yi sat at a round table, and everyone else gathered around them.

Lin Jingchen was looking carefully at a burnt incense ring with only one-third left. He used a silver spoon to pick up some incense ash and soaked it in the water. After a while, the gray incense ash gradually became like dust. It settled down, but the water in the cup took on a strange light green color.

Lin Jingchen put down the white porcelain cup, raised his eyes and said, "Ayi, the poison is in the incense in this small Buddhist hall!"

As these words fell, the room fell into dead silence!
