Early the next morning, Minghui stopped vomiting and was in much better condition. Only then did Nian Shilan send someone to tell the emperor.
But Nian Shilan didn't explain that Hui was poisoned. He only said that Minghui couldn't stop vomiting during the song last night.
After the emperor heard about it, he originally wanted to come over, but he heard someone from Yanxi Palace reported that Ye Concubine's fetus was unstable.
"You and Minghui are fine now. I'll go to Yanxi Palace to have a look, and then I'll go to Yikun Palace later."
Su Peisheng felt something was wrong when he heard the emperor's words, but he couldn't say anything at this time and could only ask someone to tell Nian Shilan.
Fortunately, Nian Shilan doesn't care about the emperor now, and is only focused on finding out how Minghui was poisoned.
Wen Shichu also got up early and took people to the outskirts of Beijing before sunrise.
Although Wen Shichu had never seen this poisonous weed, according to the description in the book, he actually found it.
So when Wen Shichu returned to the palace, he did not go back to Taiyuan Hospital, but went to Yikun Palace first.
"How's it going? Did you find it?"
Nian Shilan didn't sleep that night, worried about Minghui and whether Wen Shichu and the others would find Xun Yicao today.
"found it."
As he spoke, Wen Shichu took out a piece of Xunyi grass and showed it to Nian Shilan: "If what is recorded in the book is correct, this one will not be wrong."
When Nian Shilan saw Wen Shichu handing it to him, he took it and looked at it carefully.
This Xunyi grass doesn't look much different from ordinary weeds. If you hadn't studied it, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
"For the next thing, we have to continue to trouble Doctor Wen."
Nian Shilan didn't know how to use it, so she left everything to Wen Shichu.
"Mother, don't worry."
Wen Shichu picked up Xun Yicao and went down.
After a while, Wen Shichu came back with several bottles of water.
Everything Minghui used was sprinkled with water, but there was no abnormality.
"Go and get Minghui's food for the past few days."
As for what Minghui eats, Nian Shilan always leaves it in the small kitchen to keep it in order, just in case she feels unwell and there is no place to check.
"I'm a slave, go now."
Songzhi quickly asked someone to get it.
But I didn’t expect that Minghui’s stuff these days would be fine.
"That's weird."
Wen Shichu said: "The princess's symptoms are almost exactly the same as those described in the book. How could there be no problem with her food?"
Nian Shilan listened to Wen Shichu's words, but did not doubt Wen Shichu's medical skills.
"Could it be that there has been no poisoning in the past few days?"
"Probably not. From the looks of the princess, it should be the amount she eats every day."
Wen Shichu looked at the things in the hall strangely.
If it wasn't in the diet, it wouldn't have been discovered for so long.
"Mother, is there something wrong with the wet nurse?"
Songzhi suddenly said: "If the wet nurse wants to feed the princess something we don't know about, then we have no place to check."
Wen Shichu glanced at Nian Shilan.
The wet nurse Nian Shilan chose for her daughter would definitely not be so easy to bribe. She should not be like this.
Nian Shilan thought so too.
Minghui's wet nurse was an old person from the Nian family. If she hadn't been from her own family, Nian Shilan would definitely not be so relieved.
"Go and fetch the wet nurse."
Nian Shilan didn't want to let go of the possibility.
The wet nurse had been with Minghui since she was born, and she was very kind to Minghui. Nian Shilan really didn't want to believe that it was her.
"I think you also know what happened to the princess last night."
Nian Shilan said with a bad expression: "If you hide something about the princess, then your whole family will not end well."
"I know this, but I don't dare."
The wet nurse's name is Xu Zhi. She has worked in Nian's mansion since she was a child, and she knows Nian Shilan's temper very well. And she also knew how important Minghui was to Nian Shilan and the Nian family. If she could lend her a few lives, she wouldn't dare not be careless about Minghui's affairs.
"Then I ask you."
Nian Shilan looked at her and didn't miss the expression on her face: "Have you ever given the princess anything special? Or something that wasn't made in the kitchen?"
"No."
Xu Zhi was very sure, because she followed Nian Shilan all the way, so she naturally understood the vicious methods in the palace, and was afraid that if she accidentally missed it, she would harm the whole family.
"You're quite sure."
Nian Shilan didn't look fake when he saw Xu Zhi's fear.
"Empress."
Xu Zhi kowtowed and said: "I have been working in Nian Mansion since I was a child. The whole family is in Nian Mansion. I know what can and cannot be done, so the princess is not allowed to do anything that is not allowed to be done by the queen, and is not allowed to be eaten by the princess. , I would rather eat the poison and die than dare to gamble with the princess."
Wen Shichu was listening to Xu Zhi's words but suddenly asked: "Have you had any physical discomfort recently? Is your gastrointestinal problem?"
"I feel a little uncomfortable, but there are no symptoms of vomiting."
Xu Zhi was not stupid and listened to Wen Shichu's words and understood that she was Minghui's wet nurse. If she was poisoned, Minghui would drink her own milk. This was also a solution.
But Xu Zhi really didn't have any symptoms of vomiting. She had some stomach discomfort in the past few days, but it was not serious.
Nian Shilan didn't think so after hearing Wen Shichu's words.
"Songzhi, take her down and express some breast milk."
"yes."
After Songzhi answered, she took Xu Zhi down.
"Doctor Wen suspect that someone has poisoned the wet nurse?"
Nian Shilan waited until no one was around before asking.
"Yes."
Wen Shichu nodded and said: "If the wet nurse is poisoned, then the princess will be poisoned without knowing it if she drinks milk every day. However, the wet nurse is already an adult, and her body and intestines are naturally not as good as those of the young princess. Delicate. So the princess couldn't stop vomiting, but she was just a little uncomfortable. This shows that the poisoner was very careful and didn't want us to find out so quickly, and just poisoned the wet nurse bit by bit. "
Nian Shilan knew what Wen Shichu said made sense.
If the wet nurse was really poisoned, then we don’t even know who this person is.
After all, she is just a wet nurse and comes into contact with too many people.
After a while, Songzhi came back with Xu Zhi, holding a bowl of milk in Songzhi's hand.
Wen Shichu poured the water he had prepared into the milk. After a while, the milk turned red.
Nian Shilan stood up in fright. The wet nurse saw the changed color. Although she didn't know what it meant, looking at Nian Shilan's reaction, she knew that she was probably poisoned.
"Your Majesty, I will not use my body to harm the princess."
Obviously, even if she was poisoned, she still wanted not to harm her family.
