Chapter 70 Jin Niang (Part 2)
In less than a moment, Jiang Rong hurried to Kunyi Palace with her medicine box on her back and was led by Huixin into the back hall where the wet nurse lives.
About half an hour later, Jiang Rong came to the hall and the queen asked quickly: "Doctor Jiang, how is the wet nurse's condition?"
Jiang Rong frowned and said loudly: "Report to the Empress, the wet nurse has an acute disease. In mild cases, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and severe cases, may even die of dehydration. Moreover, this disease is still contagious, so the wet nurse should be moved out to treat it immediately."
Liangpin stroked his chest and said in horror: "Isn't that just cholera?"
Jiang Rong shook her head and said, "That's not, it's not that serious, but it cannot be underestimated. The little prince is not feeling well, so he must not be fed. He must not get close to him. Let Weichen take the wet nurse back to the empty room of the Imperial Hospital for treatment."
The queen immediately stood up from the phoenix chair and asked, "Is Zhaoyang's disease caused by the wet nurse's infection?"
Jiang Rong still shook her head and said, "The little prince is sick in the front and the wet nurse is sick in the back. According to Weichen, the little prince's disease is caused by the spleen and stomach disorganization, and the wet nurse's disease is a timely disease, and the two are different."
The queen felt relieved and ordered: "Go and find two little eunuchs and carry Jin Niang to an empty room in the Imperial Hospital for treatment. After the treatment is cured, she will be sent out. Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs pick a good wet nurse to make up for it."
After everyone finished their meals, they saw that the queen had a lot of things to do, so they stood up and said goodbye.
In the evening, Lu Yuan invited Shunpin to talk to Jingxi Palace. There were three or four large braziers in the palace, which were burning vigorously and warm as spring. Several pots of daffodils were blooming at the right time. The jade-like green leaves were green and green. Among the crisscrossing green leaves, a few white and flawless small flowers were blooming in an orderly manner. A golden-like stamen was embedded in the flowers, emitting a faint fragrance.
Qingning was holding a cloth tiger and made Jinse giggle. While reaching out to get the cloth tiger, Jinse said in a confused manner: "Sister, sister, tiger, I want it!"
Shunbin looked at the two children and said, "What happened today is really strange. Jin Niang was so good, but why did she suddenly get sick? I always feel something was wrong."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Sister is strange, Lin Niang is in my palace, just call her to ask, I'm also curious."
Shunbin blurted out and said, "Didn't Jin Niang get the epidemic? She is diagnosed and treated in the Imperial Hospital?"
Lu Yuan smiled without saying a word, nodded and signaled Biluo to go to the back hall to bring Jin Niang.
After a while, the titsty girl Jinniang followed Biluo into the hall, but she could not see any illness.
Shunbin was confused and asked in confusion: "Didn't she have an acute illness? Why did she get better so quickly? What kind of tricks did you play?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "My wife didn't get Shi Qi, but I asked Bi Luo to put laxatives in her soup and took two Xianglian pills to get it."
Shunbin was even more confused: "Then why did you do this?"
Lu Yuan sorted out the silk ribbon with a concentric knot on her skirt and said, "Sister, don't worry, I have something to ask Jinniang. After I finish asking, you will understand."
Lu Yuan looked at Jin Niang and said slowly: "Min Niang, I asked you, it is related to your wealth and life, so you must answer truthfully."
Jin Niang Rong's face was full of fear, and she lowered her eyebrows and said, "Master, I dare not talk nonsense."
Lu Yuan held a cup of fragrant tea in her hand, took a sip, and asked, "What are your negotiations with Concubine Zhen in private?"
When Jinniang heard this, her body shivered involuntarily, and covered her with a trembling voice: "I don't have..."
Lu Yuan smiled slightly, pursed her hair, and continued, "My lady, I have already reminded you just now. To be honest, you must understand that I am helping you, otherwise you will be dead long ago."
Jin Niang was a little nervous, raised the corner of her eyes and looked at Lu Yuan secretly, and asked carefully: "How can I know that I have a relationship with Concubine Zhen?"
Lu Yuan looked at her eyes and said in a more intense tone: "A few days ago, I saw you come out of the Yilan Palace of Concubine Zhen, and behave in a sneaky manner. So I guess you must have surrendered to Concubine Zhen, but I don't know what benefits Concubine Zhen gave you, which can make you betray the prince and harm the prince. This is the crime of beheading!"
Jin Niang was shocked by her momentum, her knees softened, she knelt on the ground, sweating down, her lips shivered slightly, "Empress Ying, please spare me a life. I am really desperate and was bribed by Concubine Zhen. I am really forced to do so."
Lu Yuan slowly approached her, her voice softly and said, "Then tell me what you have to do with me."
Jin Niang wiped her tears and cried, "Empress, you don't know. I have a gambler's husband. I only know how to eat alcohol and gamble every day. I lost all my belongings and owed a lot of debts. The creditors come to the door to avoid the debt every day. If they can't pay it back, they will use my daughter who is less than one year old to pay it off. I was so anxious that one day, Concubine Zhen sent someone to secretly call me to Yilan Palace, give me some money, and ask me to help her do something. I also said that after the matter is done, I would buy a house and land for me, so that I could leave the palace to guard my daughter's life. I was desperate and got obsessed with it for a moment, so I agreed."
Lu Yuan's eyes were bright and then asked, "What did Concubine Zhen ask you to do, please tell me in detail."
Jin Niang thought for a moment and said slowly: "The Queen Zhen just gave me a few pills, so that I would eat one before feeding Prince Zhaoyang. After eating, I would secretly go to Yilan Palace to pick it up, or the Queen Zhen Niang sent someone to deliver it."
"What pill?"
Jinniang reached into her arms, took out a black pill, and held it in her hand and said, "I happen to have a pill on my body. Please see, Empress."
Bi Luo went forward and took the pill to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan took it in her hand and looked at it. She couldn't see anything strange. Shunbin also curiously picked it up and looked left and right.
Lu Yuan ordered Xiao Lianzi, "Doctor Jiang should be still in the back hall, go and invite him."
A moment later, Jiang Rong walked into the hall.
Lu Yuan handed him the pill in his hand and said, "Doctor Jiang take a look, what's the secret of this pill?"
Jiang Rong first observed the color of the pill, then picked it up and smelled it, then asked for a bowl of water, melted the medicine a little, dipped it in her fingers and put it in her mouth to taste it carefully. After a while, she was already worried about it, so she said to Lu Yuan: "This is an ordinary pill, which has a very light dose of aconitum, and it will not have any effect on adults. However, after the wet nurse took it, the milk will be toxic to the aconitum. Therefore, the little prince vomited and drowned. After the accumulation of less and more in the body, it may even lead to confusion and paralysis."
Lu Yuan and Shunpin were both surprised. Shunpin gently stroked her chest and said, "I didn't expect that Zhenfei was so cruel. It seems that Xingsuzhi said that Zhenfei had made Zhenfei get enemies with the queen, but she was innocent and pitiful to Zhaoyang."
Lu Yuan looked at Jin Niang who was kneeling on the ground and cried, and sighed softly: "Although you are forced to use it for others, it is not enough to escape from the crime. If the queen knew the truth, do you think you can still live?"
When Jin Niang heard this, she threw herself to the ground, kowtowed and cried, "Grandma, please spare my life, I am really for my daughter!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said with a cold look, "It is not worthy of you to harm the Queen's children for your own children. However, I don't want to kill you, otherwise I wouldn't have saved you. I asked Bi Luo to secretly put laxatives in your soup, and deliberately let Jiang Rong say that he could surpass the disease, so that the Queen would send you away. This matter is over. You go home after leaving the palace."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly to Biluo, and Biluo took out a bag of silver from her body and handed it to Jin Niang, saying, "This is the money that Concubine Ying gave you. Go home and stay with your daughter to live a good life."
Jin Niang burst into tears and kowtowed with a bang: "I am so kind and great, I am so grateful. I will burn incense and worship Buddha for you every day for the rest of my life."
