One-year ultimatum
After another three days, Dr. Wang Yu from the Royal Hospital reported to the report: Ding You, the imperial medical officer of the concubine, has returned from a leave of absence.
Nangong Jingnu remembered Qi Yan's "water disease", and ordered Ding You to be called, along with Wang Yuyi.
Entering the main hall, the two knelt at the foot of the hall, Nangong Jingnu said straight to the point: "The royal doctor Wang said that the concubine's body is 'water disease', but the pulse cases of the concubine over the years show that he has a 'fire disease' in his body. Ding Yuyi, tell me what's going on with this palace?"
Ding You's eyelids twitched, and the uneasiness he felt when he returned to the palace was confirmed.
A wise man is bound to make a mistake. After so many years of carefulness, he will be planted in the hands of several imperial doctors.
Before waiting for Ding You to reply, Royal Doctor Wang said: "This old minister is in a medical family, and his ancestors have served in the palace for three generations. This old minister has just served in the inner court for 50 years this year. Sexually turned."
Ding You: "The art of medicine is extensive and profound, and it is not just by accumulating years that you can reach the top. Since the dean is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, he must also know that every discipline has secret recipes. Son?"
President Wang: "Bastard! You and I both serve in the inner court. Everything belongs to the imperial court. How can there be any secret recipe?"
Ding You: "His Royal Highness, this is about the condition of the concubine's concubine. Wei Chen only wishes to inform you."
President Wang: "His Royal Highness, in the opinion of the old minister, Chief Ding must feel that His Highness is not skilled in medicine and is trying to deceive the old minister to deceive His Highness!"
Nangong Jing's brows were slightly frowned, and she thought for a moment and replied, "Yu Doctor Wang, you should step back first. No one will be kept in the hall to serve you."
Dean Wang: "Yes..."
There were only two people left in the hall, Nangong Jingnv and Ding You. Ding You gave a big gift to Nangong Jingnv: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust."
Nangong Jingnv: "Get up and talk back. Ben Gong understands your desire to preserve the secret recipe from the family, but if you try to deceive Ben Gong, you will know the consequences."
Ding You: "Thank you, Your Highness, but the secret recipe is indeed an excuse. It is true that there is something unspeakable."
Nangong Jingnu: "Tell me, what's going on."
Ding You's brain was running fast, even if Nangong Jingnv didn't know medical knowledge, he wouldn't dare to open his mouth. If the other party turned around and asked others, his lie would be exposed in an instant, and neither he nor Qi Yan could escape... How can we make it seamless
Nangong Jingnv frowned, Ding You took a deep breath, and replied, "I have heard the concubine mention it... It was an expert from outside the world who rescued her. I don't know if the concubine has reconciled this matter. Your Highness mentioned?"
Nangong Jingnu nodded: "Yes."
Ding You thoughtfully said: "To be honest, if it wasn't for the concubine who mentioned this matter, the minister would not have seen her pulse at all."
Nangong Jingnu squinted her eyes: "You mean that the concubine hasn't passed the epidemic?"
Ding You: "No, Wei Chen just said that the expert from outside the world who saved the concubine was very skilled in medicine. Although there was no root cause of the disease in the concubine's body, the physical foundation of the concubine can still be explored from the physique of the concubine. It's very bad, so President Wang's diagnosis is not wrong. However, the 'water disease' of the concubine came down later."
Nangong Jingnu: "When? Why doesn't this palace know?"
Ding You: "Your Highness, do you still remember the fire in the Concubine's Mansion? Although the Concubine Hong Fushen was able to escape the danger, he accidentally choked on a lot of water when he jumped to the lotus pond to avoid the fire. Before the accident at the Concubine's Mansion, he was overworked, cold water penetrated into his heart and lungs, causing fever and fever for several days.
With a "bang", Nangong Jingnu slapped the table heavily: "You are so brave! Why didn't you report such a big thing to the concubine earlier?"
Ding You knelt down on the ground again: "His Royal Highness, it's not that Wei Chen deliberately concealed it, but that the concubine repeatedly told me not to leak this matter out."
Ding You really had no choice but to put the follow-up responsibility on Qi Yan. Ding You believed that with Qi Yan's mind, she could handle it even if she had not communicated with her beforehand, and explained that the seriousness of the problem has been reduced to this point. A lot, try your best.
Nangong Jingnu: "Yuanjun? Why is he like this?"
Ding You: "I don't know, this minister is just acting on orders. I hope Your Highness will forgive me for the sake of Wei Chen's loyalty."
Nangong Jingnu's face changed a few times, and finally she waved her hand: "Are you sure you can cure the 'water disease' in the concubine's body?"
Ding You: "If the concubine is willing to cooperate, the minister is sure."
Nangong Jingnu: "How to cooperate?"
Ding You: "Take medicine on time, work and rest regularly, and maintain a comfortable mood."
Nangong Jingnu: "How long will it take to see results?"
Ding You: "If it's fast, it will take a year. If the concubine refuses to cooperate, it may take three or five years."
Nangong Jingnu: "What if it's not cured?"
Ding You: "Wei Chen is willing to use the head of the item as a guarantee."
Nangong Jingnu: "Okay, this palace will agree with you for a period of one year, if the concubine's body cannot recover..."
Ding You: "This... Your Highness, the concubine's disease is afraid of cold and wet. I heard that the concubine is..."
Nangong Jingnv: "You don't need to worry about this. Since the concubine wants you to keep a secret, this palace will not pursue it."
Ding You: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Nangong Jingnu: "You go back first."
Ding You: "I also want to invite His Highness to entrust the minister to Dali Temple, and to ask for a peace pulse for the concubine."
Nangong Jingnu: "Yes."
After Ding You left, Nangong Jingnu thought for a moment, and probably guessed some of Qi Yan's thoughts: The consort's mansion caught fire on the eve of the meeting, maybe he chose to hide it because he didn't want to lose his qualifications as an examiner.
Nangong Jingnv couldn't help sighing out, Qi Yan asked herself again for ten days, and there are still seven days before the agreed time...
Ding You went back to the imperial hospital to go to the medicine box and the pulse case, and went straight to the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison.
When Qi Yan saw Ding You, she showed displeasure. After the jailer left, she grabbed the brush and wrote: Didn't I let you go? Why are you coming back
Ding You: "Master Consort, Wei Chen has been ordered by His Highness Zhen Zhen to invite the Ping An pulse."
As he said that, he put a pill into Qi Yan's hand, took a writing brush and wrote: This is Ten Days Broken Heart Powder, and the antidote is here. After taking this medicine, there are obvious symptoms of poisoning, and the user is very painful. If there is no antidote within ten days, it will die. Use with caution.
The fake death drug has not been researched, but there is a real poison pill. Although there is an antidote, the harm of this chronic poison to the body is no different from drinking poison to quench thirst, but Ding You really has no other way.
Nangong Jingnu became suspicious of herself, and when she used fake poison, other imperial doctors revealed her secret.
If Nangong Jingnu was not forcing Qi Yan to round the house, she could only use this method to prevaricate.
Qi Yan held the pill tightly in her hand and threw the written paper into the brazier: "Thank you."
Ding You looked at Qi Yan guiltily: "The cell is cold and damp, which is not good for the concubine's health. This minister goes back and prepares another recipe."
Qi Yan: "Thank you."
After Ding You left, Qi Yan spread out her palm, and a green pill lay in her palm.
Qi Yan carefully placed the pill against her body and sighed heavily.
In order to continue this lie, he actually came to this step.
It's not that I haven't thought about confessing my gender, but I have too much on my shoulders and I can't do it.
If her gender is revealed, Yu Xiao's origin will become a mystery, and Xiaodie will also be in crisis. Moreover, the blood feud in the grassland has not been recovered, how can I be honest
These days, Qi Yan was patiently waiting for the masked man to send someone to find her, while thinking about her future.
She has already made up her mind: this time she will go out at all costs, let the murderers of the year pay the price, and kill one by one before their identities are revealed.
When Xiaodie is settled and Ding You is let go... just face what you should face.
On the last day before Qi Yan was released from prison, she thought that the masked man would not contact her anymore...
At noon, another visitor came to visit her.
"Master Qi?"
Qi Yan pretended to be surprised, thinking for a moment before asking, "Master Li?"
The visitor laughed and bowed his hands in a salute: "It's the lower official, thanks to Master Qi who still remembers me."
The person who came was Li Qiaoshan, a member of the Ministry of Works.
It was also he who handed over the memorial of the Jinzhou students' joint name to Qi Yan to the court. As expected, the masked man or the power of the previous dynasty still remained in the court.
Qi Yan spread the mattress: "Master Li, please take a seat."
Li Qiaoshan: "Please."
Qi Yan: "Mr. Qi is in jail, Master Li has a heart."
Li Qiaoshan said with a smile: "Master Qi, don't be discouraged. A few days ago, I received a memorial from Jinzhou students asking for your life, and submitted it to the court in the morning. I believe it will be useful."
Qi Yan pretended to be surprised: "Is there such a thing? Then I have to thank Mr. Li."
Li Qiaoshan: "Xiaguan was fortunate enough to work with Master Qi, and admired Master Qi's character, and he did not dare to take credit for his efforts."
Qi Yan smiled and said nothing.
Since I made a special trip to this Dali Temple Heavenly Prison not to take credit, then there are other important things
Li Qiaoshan came to the railing and looked out, then returned to Qi Yan and shoved a note into her hand: "Since Mr. Qi is safe, the lower official will leave."
Qi Yan: "I will not send you far."
When Qi Yan returned to the room, she opened the note that Li Qiaoshan left her, but it was a blank piece of paper with no words on it.
Qi Yan's heart froze, thinking of what the masked person said to her many years ago: There are thousands of plants in this world, even the "Shen Nong Bai Cao Jing" can't cover them all, such as this five-leaf clover, although there is no Medicinal value, but interesting. Pound the five-leaf clover into juice, and use its juice to write and dry, there is no trace of writing, but as long as this piece of paper is thrown into the water basin, it will briefly show the shape of the word when it encounters water, which is very suitable for writing. Write a secret letter.
Qi Yan came to the water basin and spread the paper flat on the water. Sure enough, a line of ink blue words appeared: One year, no one left.
In the blink of an eye, the eight characters disappeared, but Qi Yan stood in front of the basin without moving.
The masked man issued an ultimatum: within a year, he must find a way to kill all the Nangong royal family.
