Chapter 304 Protecting the Prince (17)

Akino's performance at the palace banquet soon spread outside the palace.

The people were even more in awe of her, and for a while the whole of Daqin was talking about her.

Of course not everyone knows, but those who should know must already know.

And the most direct benefit is that no one dares to come in front of her and talk nonsense, making her quieter a lot.

Ever since Qiuye became suspicious of the imperial concubine, Qin Shao sent people to watch over her, but the news sent back was the same as before.

There is still no news here, the emperor's list has been posted for several months, and finally a private doctor diagnosed the emperor's illness.

At this moment, Qiu Ye and Qin Shao were both in the bedroom of the imperial palace, listening to the doctor say: "This is not a disease, but poisoning."

As soon as this remark came out, the three present were thoughtful.

Akino has already told Qin Shao his guess, and Qin Shao may have told the emperor, so if he was poisoned, he must not have reached the end of his lifespan.

Qiu Ye asked: "Doctor, why do you dare to be so sure?"

The doctor looked proud: "I have traveled all over the Qin Dynasty, and I have never seen anything. This is a strange poison. It comes from Xizhou. The poisoned person usually does not notice it, but when the poisoner wants to be poisoned to death, he only needs to use it. Let the poisoned person eat an ordinary food, and they can be killed quietly."

Qin Shao quickly asked, "What is it?"

The doctor said: "There is a specialty in Xizhou called mulberry fruit. It looks a bit like grapes. It is almost invisible in appearance and tastes similar. But the fruit tree is different. There is no problem if you eat it alone. But if someone is poisoned If you eat it, you will die immediately."

The doctor seemed capable, and the emperor did not make things difficult for him, and rewarded him with many good things, and asked him to stay with the emperor for a few days before leaving.

Although the doctor was unscrupulous in his words, he was not stupid. He might not even be able to save his life if he poisoned the emperor. But because he had been practicing medicine for decades and had his own principles, he still told the matter. At this time, the emperor heard that He had no intention of keeping silent, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiu Ye blocked the way: "Father, let the doctor go to the East Palace to rest, I will protect you nearby. Tell Qin Shao to recuperate his body."

Everyone had no objection to this matter, and the doctor seemed extremely happy, as if he was quite interested in Qiu Ye, the concubine and goddess, and happily followed Wang Chaoen back to the East Palace.

After he left, the emperor and Qin Shao began to analyze the truth of the matter.

Qiu Ye pondered and said: "I suspect that some kind of fairy dream is fake, but how did the other party make the queen conceive Qin Shaoshang?"

Several people have already speculated about the queen's death. It must be because the queen was poisoned by the same poison as the emperor, so she died suddenly.

The emperor thought for a while and said, "I spend most of my time in the Queen's palace. As long as someone changes the anti-child medicine, it is not unusual for the Queen to be pregnant with the prince at that time."

Akino asked: "Then why didn't the queen conceive before?"

The emperor sighed and said: "The empress is weak, and the imperial doctor said it was difficult to conceive. It was because the imperial concubine came up with a prescription for her health that the empress' body gradually recovered."

Qiu Ye and Qin Shao looked at each other and asked at the same time, "Is that prescription still there?"

The emperor was taken aback, and said: "Do you doubt the imperial concubine? It cannot be done by her. She has nothing to do with the world, is barren, and saved the queen's life. How could she be harmed? Although she is from Xizhou"

The emperor seemed to remember something, and shouted loudly: "Li Dehai."

Li Dehai immediately came in from the outside, saluted and asked: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

The emperor said: "Do you still have the health-preserving prescription that the imperial concubine gave to the empress 19 years ago?"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Dehai replied: "Going back to the emperor, the prescription has been kept, and the imperial hospital also has a record."

"Go find it."

"Yes."

The doctor who had just been invited away was called back again.

The doctor took the prescription and read it carefully several times, and said after deliberation: "This prescription is indeed a good prescription for nourishing the body, and it is easy for women to conceive. There is no problem."

The emperor said: "Crown princess, why do you doubt the imperial concubine?"

Akino said: "There is no reason. I just feel that there is something wrong with her. I need to check it out before I know. But from today on, father, you can no longer eat grapes."

The emperor nodded, he thought the same way, after all, he didn't dare to be too careless before the poison was cured.

Qin Shao said: "It won't do if you don't eat at all. Father, you can close the palace door and let Chao Chao En eat. Anyway, there will be no problem if you eat alone."

Akino also added: "Not only grapes, but all foods that smell of fruit will not be eaten in the future."

Anyway, this situation will not last long, because the doctor said that although the poison is difficult to cure, it is not impossible for him to make an antidote as long as he collects a few medicinal materials, but it will take some time.

So just get through it for a while.

After Qin Shao and Qiu Ye discussed with the emperor how to investigate, they returned to the East Palace.

At this time, the year has passed, and Akino is already eighteen, but there have been a lot of things recently, and she did not move into Qin Shao's bedroom as she said before, and went to her own bedroom when she arrived in the East Palace.

Qin Shao looked at her back, thought for a while, and shouted: "Crown Princess."

Akino looked back at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Shao looked at the flowers on the side of the road and said, "Didn't you say that you want to move here after the Chinese New Year? There are a lot of things going on recently, so it's convenient for us to discuss if you move here."

Akino looked at Qin Shao in surprise. Except for hugging her impulsively last time, the child acted like a gentleman afterward, as if nothing had happened before.

Now I want her to move there.

Qiu Ye walked towards Qin Shao slowly, and said, "You always look over there, doesn't it look good?"

Qin Shaoqiang calmed down and said, "Well, the scenery is not bad."

Akino took another step closer and whispered, "You want me to move there?"

Qin Shao was a little ashamed and annoyed, wondering if what he said was not clear enough?

After taking the pills given by Akino, he recovered within a few days, and in the end he pretended to be sick by rubbing some white powder.

After his health recovered, he felt that he could become a real husband and wife with the Crown Princess. He hesitated before because he didn't know how long he would live, and he didn't want to think about it.

It was not easy for him to pluck up the courage to tell Akino that he wanted to live together, but Akino still teased him like this.

He pretended to be displeased and said, "It's fine if you don't want to."

Qiu Ye smiled and said, "Don't you know if I want to or not?" As he spoke, Qiu Ye took a step forward, completely face to face with Qin Shao, regardless of the palace people behind him, and directly threw himself into Qin Shao's arms, looking up at him with a smile on his face .

Qin Shao wanted to laugh, but forced himself to say with a sullen face: "Nonsense, how can you do this in such a large crowd!"

Akino didn't care and whispered: "Then it's okay to go to your dormitory?"

"What do you want to do?"

"The bridal chamber."
