"Old man, have you forgotten that you were poisoned just now? Don't you want to seek revenge from him? I think the old man's skill must be extraordinary..." Ling Zifei was not annoyed, this old man did not look like an old man at all, On the contrary, he is like a naughty child, which makes people unable to get angry.

The old man patted his thigh, "Yeah, that old guy Xuan Zhizi tried poisoning me again and pissed me off. He finally stole a chicken leg from the imperial dining room, but he didn't expect it to be destroyed by that old boy, so he was so pissed off." I'm so mad!" I squatted next to the drumstick for a while, with tears in my eyes, and suddenly stood up, "Girl doll, wait for the old man to come back with revenge!" After a flash, he disappeared into the courtyard .

It was as if what happened just now had never happened, and everything was calm again, but behind this tranquility was an undercurrent of turmoil.

Ling Zifei sighed, life in this palace, since there is no one person, no matter how blue the sky is, no matter how clear the water is, it can't arouse any interest, and the heart seems to be immersed in a dead pool, bottomless .

"Master, master!" Tao Ruo's voice suddenly approached, waking up Ling Zifei who was standing in the courtyard.

"what happened?"

Tao Ruo looked worried, as if something had happened, "Master, I heard that the eunuch reported urgently just now, saying that... Concubine Qian was bewitched..."

Ling Zifei was stunned for a moment before realizing that she is the empress dowager now, since the emperor did not set up an empress, she had the final say on the affairs of the harem, and before that, the harem had been calm, mostly because the emperor was not close to women , now the emperor is not only getting close to his concubines, but also preparing to draft women into the palace. This has disturbed the spring water in the harem. All the concubines are fighting for favor and beauty like chicken blood, and this is also related to their family and reputation , implicated in the so-called court dispute, if he can be favored by the emperor, and the successor is just around the corner, then the dragon son born will also be the future prince, who would not fight for such a big temptation?As a result, there have been more affairs in the harem. Without a queen, the burden naturally falls on our Queen Mother Ling, but she is not in a good mood at the moment. Time is not her backing, without support, how can she gain a foothold?

Don't think too much about it anymore, Concubine Qian's matter is important now, "Let's go and have a look." Then he walked out.

When Ling Zifei and his group arrived at the "Xuerui Palace", Ling Zifei called Tao Ruo into the sleeping hall together, seeing maidservants standing all around, their expressions were filled with anxiety, seeing Ling Zifei walking in, a group of people quickly knelt on the ground.

"I have seen the empress dowager, please save the empress dowager!"

Ling Zifei frowned, "You all get out." Seeing the maidservants crowded in the dormitory, Ling Zifei only felt a headache.

A group of maidservants saluted respectfully, and hurried out, leaving only one maidservant in royal blue clothes, she stepped forward and said, "Empress Dowager, I am Zhaobi, the personal maidservant of Concubine Qian, and now... ..." Then his eyes dimmed.

Following Zhaobi's gaze, I saw a woman on the bed who was only wearing a middle coat, hugging the quilt, biting one of her hands, her body trembling non-stop.

"What's the matter with her?" Ling Zifei was a little puzzled, the strife in the harem wasn't so serious, did it drive the concubines crazy?But if it wasn't for this reason, what else could force her to be like this?

Could it be... drugged?

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, my mother has contracted some wind and cold since the day before yesterday, and she is weak. She drank the medicine this morning, but she is safe and sound. Somehow it has become like this..." Zhaobi was also sad, looking at his mother's appearance in his heart Very anxious.

"Did you drink the medicine in the morning?" Ling Zifei murmured and sighed, "Did you ask the doctor?"

Zhaobi replied, "I've already gone..."

The efficiency is really slow. The concubine who knows that she is not the emperor's favor doesn't even catch up with her footsteps. "Forget it, I'll take a look for her first." After finishing speaking, Ling Zifei stepped forward and sat on the side of the bed, watching Concubine Qian shrinking back in horror, muttering something.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to treat you." Ling Zifei negotiated with Concubine Qian calmly.

Concubine Qian's hair was disheveled and scattered in front of her face. She looked at Ling Zifei's appearance through the gaps in her hair, and immediately became quiet.

Ling Zifei smiled indifferently, and then stretched out her hand. She felt that her pulse was a little fast, and her body temperature was a little hot. She couldn't see what was going on for a while, so she said, "Who made the medicine today?"

"Yes... it's the medicine made by the servant..." Zhaobi was a little scared.

Ling Zifei looked at Zhaobi, "Were you the only one who kept decocting medicine during that time?"

"No...not..." Zhaobi lowered his head and said, "Because the servant was a little sleepy, she fell asleep for a while, and in the end she boiled some of the mother's medicine..." The more she spoke, the lower her voice.

Ling Zifei nodded, and continued to ask calmly: "Is the medicine dregs still there?"

"Yes, yes..." Zhaobi hurriedly replied, "I'll bring it to the Empress Dowager."

"it is good."

Not long after, Zhaobi came in with a small pot of decocting medicine, and tremblingly brought the medicine to Ling Zifei, "Empress Dowager, this is the leftover medicine dregs..."

As soon as Ling Zifei took it, he sniffed the smell of the medicine dregs, and understood most of it in his heart, "Datura..." Mandala is also called crazy eggplant, and its flower is called Yangjinhua, which is one of the commonly used traditional Chinese medicines.Hallucinations are caused by eating the seeds, berries or seedlings of Solanaceae Datura by mistake and the scopolamine root of scopolamine.

"Zhaobi, hurry up and get some Chinese gallnuts and smash them up for her to swallow."

"Yes." Although Zhaobi didn't know why the empress dowager still knew medical skills, but the matter was urgent, and it was not the time for her to think too much. As long as she could save the master's life, at least she could make amends.

"Ah..." Concubine Qian exclaimed in surprise, and withdrew her hand from Ling Zifei's palm, then twitched all over her body, and her breathing became more and more difficult. When Ling Zifei saw this situation, she became anxious and grabbed Concubine Qian's body tightly, "Tao Ruo, Come and grab her!"

Tao Ruo was also shocked by this scene, but she didn't want to think too much, she quickly stepped forward and hugged Concubine Qian to keep her from moving, only to find that Concubine Qian's body became softer, as if she had suddenly lost strength, no longer Struggling, "Master, what should we do now?"

"No, I'm not breathing anymore!" Ling Zifei gritted her teeth, quickly put her hands on Concubine Qian's neck, and blew at her mouth to mouth. After a while, she saw that Concubine Qian seemed to have calmed down, but she was still in the trap. In a coma, I couldn't wake up for a while.

Tao Ruo was already speechless in astonishment, one must know that her master's actions just now can be regarded as taking advantage of Concubine Qian!

Ling Zifei looked at Concubine Qian and breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked back, he saw two stunned people standing outside the door. One was dressed as a maid, and the other was probably an imperial physician.The two of them looked a little confused, you know, this kind of thing is not often encountered!

Could it be that the Empress Dowager and the Concubine Qian still have some... The imperial doctor has not guessed, after living for so many years, seeing such a thing for the first time, I have mixed feelings in my heart...

Ling Zifei didn't care, she was just saving people anyway, but what she didn't know was that such a move would be talked about in such a serious country as Qingsha Country, but let's not talk about that for now. "Doctor, come and treat her quickly. She seems to have taken some medicine, which made her hallucinate."

"Oh... oh..." The imperial physician came back to his senses, and hurried forward, about to check Concubine Qian's pulse, but was stopped by Ling Zifei.

"Shortness of breath, dilated pupils, convulsions all over the body, high body temperature, it is poisoned by the drug Datura, the imperial doctor should prescribe it quickly."

"Ah...yes...yes..." The imperial physician was also very puzzled when he said that. Could it be that the empress dowager knows a little bit about medicine?This was beyond his expectation. At first, everyone thought that the Empress Dowager is the kind of person who has nothing to do, but unexpectedly...

"Doctor, what are you still thinking about? Concubine Qian's life is still in your hands!" Ling Zifei couldn't help being a little annoyed, and really couldn't understand this procrastination.

"Yes..." The imperial physician was startled, quickly took out his pen and ink, scribbled on it, and asked the maid who brought him over to grab the medicine.

Zhaobi also entered the bedroom, holding a small porcelain bowl in his hand, walking a little anxiously, "Empress Dowager, the medicine is ready."

"You feed it to her." Ling Zifei didn't even look at it, and sat aside, looking at the prescription written by the imperial physician, thinking to himself, why is there something wrong with the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician, but there is something strange about it.

Zhaobi didn't dare to delay, he took a spoonful of the medicine and put it into Concubine Qian's mouth, and then helped her swallow it, seeing his master become like this, he felt very sad.

Concubine Qian let out a low cry, then vomited out some brown liquid, and then passed out again, which frightened Zhaobi, looking at her master, and then at Ling Zifei, "Empress Dowager , What... what's wrong with this?" There was unspeakable panic in the voice.

"It's okay, I just induced her to vomit, which reduced the toxicity." Ling Zifei said calmly.

Zhaobi nodded, although she felt that what the queen mother said made sense, she still couldn't accept it. She must be responsible for what happened to the master. If she hadn't dozed off for a while, nothing would have happened.

"I'm sorry to trouble the imperial physician, you can go back." Ling Zifei said to the imperial physician.

"Yes." The current imperial physician has not figured out the situation at all, it seems that the queen mother is not as useless as people said before.
