C17 (2/2)
Bai Zhilingzhi stared at the floor in silence.
Baili Yao heaved a sigh of relief. A moment later, he said, ”Well, just focus on treating me!”
”It's Royal Father.”
Bai Zhiling walked to the empress dowager under everyone's gaze.
When she saw that the empress dowager was cramping, she frowned slightly.
”Royal Father should tell everyone to spread out. It's better if they don't surround us here.”
Baili Yao waved his hand and made the people at the front retreat behind him. He stood at the front to see if Bai Zhiling had the ability to help the empress dowager recover.
Bai Zhiling stepped forward to let the empress dowager hear her pulse.
In order to prevent the officials from seeing the empress dowager's ugly behavior, Baili Yao had already ordered people to move the screen over to block her from the back. The people sitting in the hall could only faintly see a few figures, which made them even more curious.
There were only a few people in the capital who had not heard of Bai Zhiling's reputation. To say that she knew medical skills was something few people were willing to believe.
Bai Zhiling examined the empress dowager's basic situation. Like the imperial physician's diagnosis, she didn't find anything amiss.
It's not sick, but it's symptomatic.
It was indeed a thorny problem.
On her second examination of the Empress Dowager's body, she suddenly discovered that the little crescent moon on the fingernail of her right hand was a bluish-black color. Because it was too light, no one would notice such small details.
She opened the imperial physician's medicine box, took out a very short silver needle, and pierced it into the empress dowager's finger while avoiding Baili Yao's gaze.
When the silver needle was pulled out, a strange color could be seen on its surface – it was poison.
”What did you see?” Seeing that Bai Zhiling was still half-kneeling on the ground, Baili Yao said impatiently.
Bai Zhiling slowly raised the empress dowager's finger. Royal Father, my royal grandmother was poisoned. ”
”What did you say?” Poison? ” Baili Yao's face instantly turned dark.
He really had the guts to poison the empress dowager at his palace banquet!
”That's right, it is indeed poison, but it is not fatal. After consuming the antidote for six hours after being poisoned, there will be no harm.” I wonder if there are any permanent antidote pills in the Imperial Hospital? ”
The head of the hospital stepped forward. ”To reply wangfei, the most common antidote is available.”
”May I trouble the imperial physician to give it to the empress dowager?”
Baili Yao quickly sent someone to bring the item over.
A quarter of an hour after the empress dowager consumed the antidote pill, the convulsions gradually stopped. Not long after, they returned to normal.
”Muhou …”
The empress dowager looked at Baili Yao in confusion. Your Majesty, what's going on? ”
”Does Imperial Mother still feel uncomfortable in any way?” Baili Yao had the empress dowager sit down on a chair.
The empress dowager paused before replying, ”I just feel a little stuffy in my chest. There's nothing else.”
”Your Majesty, what happened?” The empress dowager wasn't stupid. She could tell that something was wrong with everyone's expressions, but she couldn't remember anything at all.
”Muhou, someone poisoned you!”
”What!?” The empress dowager was also stunned before growing angry.
”Imperial Mother, don't worry. This Emperor will definitely find out who the mastermind is. Someone, seal the palace doors. No one is allowed to walk around without my orders, and no one is allowed to leave the palace! ”
Such a ruckus diluted the impact Bai Zhiling saving the empress dowager's life had on everyone.
Baili Yao looked towards Bai Zhiling after giving the order. Tell me, what poison is it, and how did it get infected? ”
