Chapter 29: Thrilling
He Yunxiao squatted on Mengbao's couch, listening to the increasingly loud footsteps outside through a curtain, and his heart could not help but rise to his throat.
Fortunately, the curtain was of high quality and covered tightly, so there was no light leakage, which was life-threatening.
As long as he could honestly avoid the inspection of these imperial doctors and detoxify Mengbao who was pretending to be dead, everything would finally be over.
The couch space became extremely dark after being covered by the curtain, and only the gap created by Meng Qingqian's wrist extending through the curtain allowed light to pass through.
With the help of this gap, He Yunxiao could even watch the imperial doctors taking Mengbao's pulse.
He Yunxiao listened to the voice outside the curtain and knew that the imperial doctors had come to Mengbao's bed.
Suddenly, a sound of internal force was transmitted into He Yunxiao's mind.
Jian Ling: He Yunxiao?
He Yunxiao's heart trembled, thinking that Jian Ling must have heard his breathing. He quickly explained: Ah, Miss Jian Ling, listen to my explanation. I wanted to leave just now, but what a coincidence... I can only hide here first.
Jian Ling: Your Highness is not a warrior, and your body is weak. You should be careful in the future.
Jian Ling's irrelevant answer really made He Yunxiao blush.
Jian Ling should have seen Meng Bao's deformed walking those few times.
Miss Jian Ling is right. In the future, we must be more careful. We must develop sustainably and cannot catch Meng Bao and pluck her wool. Speaking of which, after the fake death plan, is it almost time for Wuyou's wife to agree to "give silver"?
Just when He Yunxiao's thoughts were divergent, the imperial doctors outside finally discussed and prepared to diagnose Meng Bao's pulse. From the sound, it seemed that several of Meng Bao's trusted ministers had also arrived. The Queen Mother didn't come, and Yang Zhe was not there either...
Yang Zhe should have gone to chase the assassin, why didn't the Queen Mother come?
He Yunxiao didn't know that the Queen Mother, who was in the way, had been knocked unconscious by Jian Ling and left in the palace.
If the Queen Mother was there, it was still unclear whether he could hide.
In any case, the pulse diagnosis finally began.
He Yunxiao looked through the gap in the curtain through Mengbao's arm and quietly observed the whole process. After all, he had nothing to do hiding on this couch. If he didn't check Mengbao's pulse, would he check it? It was too dark and he couldn't see it.
He Yunxiao saw that Mengbao's hand was first placed on the chair that was moved, and then one hand was directly placed on Mengbao's wrist.
What the hell?
Didn't this imperial physician use a thin wire to conduct when checking Mengbao's pulse?
Haven't learned etiquette? Do you know that men and women should not touch each other?
Can you touch my Mengbao?
Outside, Zhou Taiyi said with tears in his eyes with superb acting skills: "Your Highness was harmed by Yan State, which is really the misfortune of my Great Qi!"
He Yunxiao listened to the voice and felt relieved silently: Oh, it turned out to be a female imperial physician, then it's okay.
After a period of mourning outside the curtain, someone questioned the level of Doctor Zhou, and then he personally went on stage.
This honest doctor tied a thin thread on Mengbao's wrist and felt Mengbao's pulse by touching the thin thread.
The result was obvious, the eldest princess was indeed dying.
The doctor on the prime minister's side was obviously suspicious. After personally going on stage, he confirmed that the eldest princess was indeed dead, and then he was really relieved. Once the eldest princess died, the court of Daqi would follow the prime minister's lead in the future. Good days are coming!
He Yunxiao was also curious. Is this fake death medicine really so magical? One doctor can't do it, and two doctors can't do it either?
He Yunxiao reached out and held Mengbao's little hand, and activated the skill "Misfortune and fortune depend on each other".
[Li Qingmeng's physical value: 0]
He Yunxiao: ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
He Yunxiao was anxious and hurried to test Mengbao's breathing. Although he failed to test the breathing, his finger touched Mengbao's nose tip and refreshed the skill interface of fortune and misfortune.
[Li Qingmeng's physical strength: 0.1]
Further down, he touched Mengbao's neck.
[Li Qingmeng's physical strength: 0.15]
Seeing that Mengbao still had physical strength, He Yunxiao finally felt relieved.
This medicine still has something. At least from the pulse in his hand, Mengbao is "dead". However, the closer to the heart, the stronger the vitality of the body. This fake death medicine is just fake death after all, it is impossible to really kill people.
As long as you don't touch the artery on Mengbao's neck, then...
Before He Yunxiao could put his mind at ease, the debate of the imperial doctors outside immediately raised the tension of the situation to the maximum.
"Master Jianling, can Xiaolin lift a corner of the bed curtain of His Highness and take the pulse of His Highness's neck?" Xiao Taiyi Lin, who was still an apprentice of the Imperial Hospital, said respectfully.
Doctor Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Isn't that necessary? Your Highness has been poisoned, and her appearance may have changed. You are too disrespectful to Your Highness."
Dr. Lin said, "The pulse at the wrist is weaker than that at the neck. How can we know if the princess has died without trying? If the princess is still alive, and Xiao Lin knows but doesn't save her, I and my Lin family may not be able to bear this responsibility."
There were no fools present. Doctor Lin's words seemed to be about herself, but in fact they were warning everyone present. Whoever dared to stop her would be irresponsible to the princess and would deliberately let her die.
As soon as these words came out, the doctors of the two prime ministers' forces reacted immediately.
If you want to confirm the death of the princess, feeling the pulse at the neck is indeed a more accurate way. They are restricted by their male bodies, and it is not convenient for them to lift the curtain of the princess, but Doctor Lin is a woman, so it is convenient for her!
"Yes, Miss Lin is right!"
"Yes. Although Dr. Lin is young, her ability to diagnose pulses is not inferior to that of our elders. Moreover, the life of the princess is at stake, so we must not be careless. I support her to give it a try!"
"Lord Jian Ling, please lift the curtain."
"Yes, please lift the curtain and let Dr. Lin have a try."
Jian Ling remained silent, and the scene suddenly became awkward.
The princess's party was in a dilemma at this time. If they were not allowed to try, this "fake death" would be too suspicious, and the prime minister might not believe it.
Li Gongqin said: "Jian Ling, lift the curtain and let her try."
Jian Ling remained silent.
He Yunxiao thought about it, retreated to Meng Bao's feet on the couch, then touched Meng Bao's little hand, and used his internal force to forcibly press Meng Bao's still beating carotid artery.
He Yunxiao sent a voice: Jian Ling, open the curtain, let them see Xiao Yue's face, but don't let them see me! I'll sit at Xiao Yue's feet, you use your body to help me block it.
Jian Ling: Okay.
Li Gongqin sweated, it would undoubtedly be better to let the prime minister's people feel the pulse at this time, but Jian Ling only listened to his cousin, and he couldn't order Jian Ling!
However, Jian Ling seemed to have suddenly figured it out, and took the initiative to walk to Meng Qingqian's bed and lifted a corner of the curtain. It just happened that the ministers and doctors present could see clearly that the person who died was Xiaoyue himself.
"Doctor Lin, please feel my pulse." Jian Ling said expressionlessly.
Doctor Lin nodded, walked forward silently in front of everyone, and under everyone's gaze, stretched out his hand to Meng Qingqian's neck and felt it carefully.
"Lord Jian Ling, when did His Highness get poisoned?"
Doctor Lin suddenly approached Jian Ling.
Jian Ling looked at her and said, "At the coming-of-age ceremony banquet, about 15:00."
Doctor Lin nodded, and she took advantage of the moment when Jian Ling's attention was distracted, turned her palm over and took out a silver needle, and poked Meng Qingqian's neck gently at a very fast speed, then turned her palm over again, and the silver needle disappeared again.
This action was so concealed that it was almost a covert operation.
Perhaps even Emperor Yan himself did not expect that this covert poisoning was actually witnessed by a man named He Yunxiao.
After all, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that there was someone hiding on the bed of the "Queen of Qi"? Who would have believed that the "Queen of Qi" would fall in love, be affectionate with the man she loved, act like a spoiled child, and shed tears out of grievance?
