Chapter 199 Minglan was poisoned
The people were talking a lot about King Yan being arrested.
Soon the news spread throughout Bianjing.
Because the news was unclear, many people thought that King Yan was arrested because of the previous assassination of the prince.
Isn’t it King Yong who assassinated the prince? Why is he also related to King Yan?
Could it be said that the two of them colluded?
There are many clans in Bianjing City. When they heard the news, they were stunned for a moment. Those who were smarter quickly thought of something and were frightened.
The person who assassinated the prince was King Yong. King Yong has been dead for several months now, and King Yan was suddenly arrested.
Could it be that the officials wanted to use this excuse to clean up the clan?
Although this possibility is very small, what is happening now makes them have to think about it.
So many clans quickly sent people to inquire about the news.
The clan was frightened, but the civil and military officials had no such worries.
No one even asked about it, and the children in the family were told not to discuss it.

Donggong Garden
Zhao Xing and Zhang Guifen were walking and told her how King Yan was preparing to poison him.
After hearing this, Zhang Guifen turned pale with fear even though she knew Zhao Xing was fine.
"You think this throne is so tempting? All of Gu's clan brothers want to kill Gu." Zhao Xing's tone was somewhat waning.
It was not that he felt sad because King Yong and King Yan were plotting against him.
But I suddenly thought that in the future, my sons would plot against each other and kill each other for the sake of the throne.
There will even be people who want his father's life.
This kind of thing has been very common since ancient times, and it is not impossible.
Zhang Guifen thought that Zhao Xing was sad because of this, and comforted him: "King Yong and King Yan are so treacherous that they are greedy and treasonous. It is not worthy for my husband to be sad because of this."
"I am not sad about this." Zhao Xing shook his head. Shaking his head, he said: "It's just a moment of emotion."
Zhao Xing also realized at this time that he was a little troubled.
Given the restrictions imposed by the Song Dynasty on the clan, as long as I don't show preference for a certain son in the future, this situation will almost never happen.
It must be said that although the Song Dynasty has the reputation of being a weak Song Dynasty, it is disliked by later generations.
But some of the systems of the Song Dynasty still have merit.
While the two were talking, a eunuch hurriedly walked over.
When Sanshui saw him, he quickly stepped forward to exchange a few words and hurried back.
"Your Highness, Sheng Shaoyin sent someone to the East Palace, saying that Miss Sheng Liu was poisoned, and begged Your Highness to send an imperial doctor to treat Miss Sheng Liu," Sanshui said.
"What?" Zhao Xing grabbed Sanshui upon hearing this and asked anxiously: "How is he doing? Is he okay?"
"The person who came only said that Miss Sheng Liu was in critical condition. The specific situation is Unknown."
Sanshui was grabbed by Zhao Xing's arm. He felt that his arm was about to break, so he could only endure it.
"Go alone..."
Zhao Xing wanted to take a look, but suddenly realized that he had been inappropriate in the past.
Rulan is his concubine, Minglan has no status.
Now that Minglan is poisoned, he will inevitably attract criticism as a prince.
"Hurry, let Dr. Ma go there quickly, and go to the Imperial Hospital to find Dr. Wu. Let Dr. Wu go too." Zhao Xing let go of Sanshui and ordered.
The Taiyuan Hospital is located in the imperial palace, and there is also a resident imperial doctor in the East Palace.
However, Imperial Physician Wu was the most skilled in Chinese medicine among all the Imperial Physicians in Taiyuan Hospital.
“Yes!” Sanshui hurried away after hearing the words.
"Your Highness, Miss Sheng Liu has her own destiny, and everything will be fine." Zhang Guifen saw Zhao Xing's ugly face and comforted her softly.
She was deeply impressed by Minglan.
She knew all the concubines that Zhao Xing had chosen before.
But last year at Jinmingchi Villa, Zhao Xing invited not only the fifth girl of the Sheng family, but also the sixth girl of the Sheng family.
Not only did we have dinner together, we also played polo together.
She roughly guessed it at that time, but did not ask.
She was deeply impressed by Minglan. In addition to her good polo playing, the most important thing was that Zhao Xing looked at Minglan many times during the dinner.
Zhang Guifen keenly felt that Zhao Xing cared more about the sixth girl than the two girls in the Sheng family.
And Zhao Xing's performance just now confirmed this.
"It's okay to be alone." Zhao Xing took a deep breath.
He couldn't figure out how Minglan could be poisoned.
After all, this part did not happen in the original play.
But now because of his existence, many things have changed.
So who poisoned Minglan?
The first thing Zhao Xing suspected was Lin Xiaoniang, but if he thought about it carefully, it was not impossible for Mrs. Wang.
Minglan has decided to marry Rulan. If Mrs. Wang thinks that Minglan will steal Rulan's limelight, it is not impossible to get rid of her.
Zhao Xing was not in the mood to think too much at this time, but was worried about whether Minglan could be saved.
“Your Highness, would you like me to visit the Sheng family?” Zhang Guifen said.
"No need. It's inappropriate to go alone at this time, and it's even more inappropriate for you to go there." Zhao Xing shook his head and said: "Shulan is also a member of the Sheng family, but now she is pregnant, which is not convenient. Yanran and Miss Sheng Liu She is a close friend in the boudoir, so let her go there.”
…………
Sheng family, Mu Cangzhai
Mu Cangzhai is Minglan. The name given to his own courtyard. It comes from a poem by Liu Changqing, a poet from the Tang Dynasty.
At dusk, the mountains are far away, the weather is cold and the white houses are poor. Chaimen hears the barking of dogs, and returns home on a snowy night.
It describes the scene of pedestrians returning home, implying the hardship of the journey and the warmth of returning home.
Minglan chose this name to mean that although the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, this is her warm home.
Close the door. Only in this courtyard can she put down all pretense.
Mu Cangzhai was very quiet at this time, and the servants did not dare to make the slightest sound while walking, for fear of being beaten to death by the irrational old lady Sheng.
Minglan suddenly vomited and then passed out.
The maid hurriedly called for the doctor. After checking her pulse, the doctor said that she had been poisoned.
Although Mrs. Sheng looks serious on weekdays, few people see her getting angry.
After learning that Minglan was poisoned, Mrs. Sheng was furious and had already killed two servants.
In the bedroom, Minglan was lying on the bed, and an old man with silver hair was taking her pulse.
Everyone in the Sheng family stood aside. Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Hong looked anxious and worried, but they did not dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing Dr. Ma.
Liu Sanshi stood aside with an expressionless face.
He knew somewhat about Zhao Xing's attitude towards the sixth girl of the Sheng family, so he personally accompanied Dr. Ma to the Sheng family.
Yi Ma finished taking his pulse and released his hand with a solemn expression.
"Imperial doctor, how is my granddaughter?" Mrs. Sheng asked hurriedly.
"Old madam, Miss Sheng's condition is not optimistic. I will give her acupuncture to induce vomiting. I am not sure whether she can be saved." Dr. Ma said.
"What..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Sheng's eyes darkened and she fainted.
“Old lady!”
“Mother!”
Mother Fang and Sheng Hong quickly supported Mrs. Sheng.
Sheng Hong said anxiously: "Please ask the imperial doctor to take a look at my mother."
"The old lady was so sad after hearing the bad news that she fainted. There is nothing serious for the time being. But Miss Sheng can't delay it here. "Why don't you, Doctor Ma?"
Although it won't waste much time to check Old Mrs. Sheng's pulse, if it is delayed for too long, the chance of saving the Sheng girl will be even smaller.
As an imperial doctor, although he is not as good at maneuvering as those officials, he is not ignorant of the ways of the world.
A concubine, but His Highness the Crown Prince came in a hurry.
Liu Sanshi also told him to rescue people on the way, which already explained a lot of things.
"Sheng Shaoyin, the old lady is not in a hurry, and the old lady cares about the sixth girl, so she fainted. If the sixth girl is evil, the old lady may not be able to withstand this blow even if she is fine. "
After Liu Sanshi finished speaking, no matter what Sheng Hong thought, he said to Dr. Ma: "Doctor Ma, hurry up and treat Miss Sheng Liu. "
For him, Old Mrs. Sheng's life and death had little to do with him.
If something goes wrong with Minglan, who knows whether His Highness the Crown Prince will be angry with him?
Hearing this, Dr. Ma ignored Sheng Hong and summoned Xiao Si, who was accompanying him, and asked him to take out the silver needle. Then he gave him a prescription and asked him to get ready to go.
Sheng Hong had no choice but to order someone to send Mrs. Sheng back to her room and notify someone to ask for a doctor.
"You watch here while I go to serve mother." Sheng Hong told Madam Wang and left in a hurry.
For him, the life and death of Mrs. Sheng is more important.
In the end, Minglan was just a concubine, but Mrs. Sheng was different. If something happened, he would need Ding You.
He finally became a fourth-grade official, and he is now only in his early forties.
At this age and at this level, he cannot be considered young, but he is definitely not old either.
Before becoming an official, it is possible to get a chance to become a minister.
But if it were Ding You, there would be no hope.
He is just the Shaoyin of the Kaifeng Prefecture. Is it possible that an official could still seize love?
…………
Xue Niang hurriedly walked into the house. Lin Xiaoniang and Mo Lan, who were sitting at the top, saw Xue Niang coming in and stood up.
"How is it?"
Before Lin Xiaoniang opened her mouth, Mo Lan asked impatiently: "Have you heard any news?"
"No." Xue Niang shook her head and said, "Now Mu Cangzhai is surrounded by people from Shouan Hall, and we can't get any news. But I heard that the old lady fainted, so I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic."
“Great!” Mo Lan was delighted when he heard this.
"Mo'er!"
Lin Xiaoniang scolded: "What are you talking nonsense about?"
"Mother..." Mo Lan looked at Lin Xiaoniang slyly.
"Okay, don't stay here anymore. Go to Mu Cangzhai and have a look. If you can't get in, just wait outside. Mom knows that you and Miss Six are at odds, but you are sisters after all. Now she lives and dies. Unsure, as a sister, remember to act anxious and worried." Lin Xiaoniang waved her hands.
“Yes!” Mo Lan saluted and walked out.
Lin Xiaoniang watched her daughter disappear from behind and raised her head to signal to Xue Niang.
Xue Niang understood and stepped forward to close the door.
"I always feel a little uneasy. I didn't expect the imperial doctor to come so quickly." Lin Xiaoniang said with a gloomy face.
"Don't worry, little lady, the imperial doctor is not a god. If he could really save her, how could the old lady faint?" Xue Niang comforted her.
"That's right." Lin Xiaoniang took a deep breath to calm down, and asked: "Has your tail been cleaned up?"
