Chapter 1832: Linyue
The Crown Princess Consort did not expect Lin Qingzhu to be so cunning.
Knowing that the Crown Prince was being held back by her, he actually went straight to the Empress.
However, at the same time, she felt a little frightened and uneasy.
She didn’t know if Lin Qingzhu had done it unintentionally or if he had discovered something and done it on purpose.
But no matter what the reason was, she could not let him see that dress for the time being.
The imperial physicians might not be able to discover anything about the clothes, but she had heard of Lin Qingzhu. He was Lin Yuelan’s subordinate. In the capital, his medical skills were second only to Lin Yuelan’s. Moreover, he had roamed the capital’s various circles at a young age. His social skills could not be underestimated.
Therefore, if he discovered anything, it would be terrible.
But what should she do now?
The Crown Princess Consort’s face was originally pale, and blood was still oozing out of her body. Everyone was worried about her miserable appearance and did not have the time to notice the change in her expression. Moreover, the change in the Crown Princess Consort’s expression only lasted for an instant.
Just as the Empress was about to say something, the Crown Princess Consort suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
“Yao ‘er!”
“Crown Princess!”
The first sentence was shouted by the Crown Prince, and the Empress shouted the second sentence.
When the empress saw this, her expression changed drastically. She walked up to the crown prince consort. She asked worriedly,” Crown prince consort, how are you now?”
Then, she looked at Lin Qingzhu and shouted,” Director Lin…”
Lin Qingzhu’s expression suddenly changed when the crown prince consort vomited blood. Without the crown prince and empress’s instructions, he immediately walked to the bedside and took the crown prince consort’s pulse again.
However, this time, his expression became more and more solemn. When he looked at the crown prince consort again, her face had already turned green.
He thought of something, took out a pill from his pocket, and immediately threw it into the Crown Princess Consort’s mouth.
Seeing Lin Qingzhu’s actions, the Empress asked anxiously and worriedly,” Director Lin, why did the Crown Princess Consort suddenly vomit blood?”
This time, Lin Qingzhu shook his head and said,” Logically speaking, the symptoms of a person who has been poisoned by Sunset Glow are just like what Imperial Physician Chen said. After the person becomes dizzy and weak, the pain starts from the bone marrow to the entire body. The skin seeps blood, and when all the blood seeps out, the clothes are dyed red like the red glow of the evening until the last drop of blood seeps out. However, those who are poisoned by this poison will only bleed from the outside of their body, but they will never spit out blood.”
When the Crown Prince heard this, he was shocked and immediately asked doubtfully,” Director Lin, what do you mean by that?” He had a very bad feeling.
Lin Qingzhu said very seriously,” Your Highness, this means that the Crown Princess Consort has been poisoned by another kind of poison besides Sunset Glow. This poison has already fused with Sunset Glow’s poison and formed a new kind of poison. This new poison… With my level, I can’t cure this new poison. However, this one has already given the crown princess an antidote pill. It should be able to control the poison in her body.”
The Empress said anxiously,” If you can control the poison, can’t you cure it?”
Lin Qingzhu shook her head and said,” Your Majesty, I don’t have the ability to cure this new poison.”
“Then what should we do?” The Empress said anxiously, “We can’t let… Let the Crown Princess Consort suffer like this.”
At this point, she looked at the Crown Princess Consort and said,” Poor child!”
Lin Qingzhu said,” Your Majesty, perhaps my master has a way to cure the poison!”
When the Empress heard this, she immediately said,” Then what are we waiting for? Men, go and invite Princess Guguo!”
She didn’t care if the princess of Guguo still had the wedding ceremony. The life of the crown princess was more important.
“Yes, sir!”
The servant immediately replied when he heard the order.
At this moment, Qiu Xiang, the servant girl, cried and kowtowed to the Empress.” Please, Your Majesty, make a decision for the consort. It was because the consort liked the clothes of Lin Yue Pavilion, but who would have thought that they had ill intentions and actually poisoned the consort? The consort had no fate or enmity with them, so why were they so ruthless? Empress, please make a decision for the consort.”
Because of the Crown Princess ‘pitiful appearance, the Empress was anxious and uneasy. Now that she heard Qiuxiang complain about Linyue Pavilion again, the anger in her heart seemed to have found an outlet to vent.
The Empress roared in a dignified manner,” What a good Linyue Pavilion. I want to see where they get the guts to poison the Crown Princess Consort! Men,”
At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside the Crown Prince’s residence.
