Chunman Palace

Chapter 98
She knew that poppy was not the only poison in Chang Xiuru. Although she secretly sent someone to investigate beforehand, she couldn't get any information. It was the queen who sent Shuxiang to pass on the clues, so she could make the medicine to relieve the symptoms. Visit Chang Xiuru.

It's just that this medicine can only be suppressed if it is taken before the onset of toxicity, and it will have no effect if taken during the onset of the disease.

She looked at Chang Xiuru quietly, as if admiring an actor on the stage, watching with relish.

After an unknown amount of time, Chang Xiuru's voice gradually became hoarse, she stopped shouting, and struggled on the bed with the remaining strength, making her whole body sweat profusely.

In an instant, she saw clearly the person sitting in front of the dressing table, and yelled in horror as if seeing a ghost.

"Sister is awake?" Lin Qingyu smiled at her, got up slowly and walked over, "I thought my sister would always be confused."

"What are you doing here?" Chang Xiuru said with a dry voice, and stared at Lin Qingyu with the last of her strength.

Lin Qingyu said to Mo'er: "Sister Chang's throat is dry, and she still hasn't taken out something to moisten Concubine Chang's throat."

Mo'er heard the words and brought the bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and poured a glass for Chang Xiuru.

"Sister, please." Lin Qingyu looked at Chang Xiuru's stubborn face lightly, and then said: "I almost forgot, my sister is not feeling well and needs someone to take care of her."

She picked up the glass of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, pressed it against Chang Xiuru's lips, pried open her lips and poured the wine in, Chang Xiuru gritted her teeth tightly, and let some of the wine slip into her throat, coughing violently in an instant.

Lin Qingyu looked at Chang Xiuru quietly, taking a panoramic view of her powerless ugliness, and finally said lightly: "My sister's appearance reminds me of a word, which is a crushing defeat."

Chang Xiuru said hoarsely: "Do you think you won? You think you won beautifully, don't you? I was completely defeated, so what about you..."

Lin Qingyu said: "My sister reminded me that I really don't win now, but compared to my sister's current miserable state, I have won a lot."

"Heh... who do you think you are? Do you have the qualifications to compare with me? I don't know how much higher my status is than you. Now you are just a villain, who will show you your power!" Speaking of excitement, Chang Xiu Ru coughed violently.

Lin Qingyu didn't respond, and didn't want to start an argument with anyone, so she just said indifferently: "Sister's current posture, do you know who did it?"

Chang Xiuru insisted: "I just know, why should I tell you?"

"It seems that my sister still doesn't understand what Concubine Lan is trying to do with all this deliberation."

Chang Xiuru suddenly said: "What Concubine Lan?"

Lin Qingyu smiled and said: "I thought my sister knew it, but it seems that my sister's conclusion is different from my sister's." She poured herself a glass of wine and drank it down, "This sweet-scented osmanthus wine has been brewed for three years, it's really delicious Yes, it’s just that time like this can never go back.”

Chang Xiuru said viciously: "What kind of time are you thinking about?! When we buried this sweet-scented osmanthus wine together, didn't you realize that I was secretly cursing you?"

"Naturally." Lin Qingyu nodded, smiling brightly: "Just by looking at the expressions on my sister's face, I knew it."

"You...!" Chang Xiuru suddenly opened her eyes, making a gesture to straighten up.

Lin Qingyu said to Shuang'er: "Let Concubine Chang relax, I will take responsibility for what happens."

"Yes..." Shuang'er nodded, stepped forward to untie the rope on Chang Xiuru's body, and helped her up.

"Are you not afraid that I will kill you?!"

Lin Qingyu frowned and said: "You don't kill the person who really hurt you, but you vent your anger and grievances to me. It's so beautiful."

Chang Xiuru took the tea from Shuang'er, took a few sips and said, "You said it was Lan Fei's work, so do you have any evidence?!"

Lin Qingyu raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Is this evidence... just..."

She suddenly pointed at Shuang'er and said, "The evidence is in the palm of your maid!"

Shuang'er was taken aback, quietly hid her right hand behind her back, and rubbed vigorously on her clothes.

Chang Xiuru was surprised and said: "What are you doing! Shuang'er????" She didn't believe it at first, but seeing Shuang'er's unnatural actions, she also had to be suspicious.

Seeing this, Mo'er immediately stepped forward to restrain Shuang'er, and turned his palms over, the palms were strangely black-blue.

Chang Xiuru doubted: "What is this?"

Lin Qingyu said with a smile: "This thing is the poison that makes you confused, mad and angry, sister Chang, and it is also the secret medicine hidden tightly by the poppy poison."

"what???"

"What it is, only the person who poisoned it should know. Judging from its efficacy, it should also be a psychedelic poison like poppy."

Lin Qingyu handed a pill to Chang Xiuru: "If you don't want to get sick immediately, just take this pill. Although it can't completely detoxify your body, it can still be suppressed for a few hours."

"Why should I trust you?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Chang Xiuru suddenly frowned, she snatched the pill and stuffed it into her mouth, "That feeling came back just now... I was so flustered..."

Lin Qingyu immediately asked: "Do you always feel very flustered and tight in your chest before an attack, and then your brain goes dark as if you have lost consciousness?"

"how do you know?"

"That's right, because it's not poppy poison at all, or it's not just as simple as poppy poison... Among them, there are also poisons that make people illusion, violent, and have frequent nightmares." Lin Qingyu sighed, and continued: " I thought Mu Pingting would use incense as a medium to invade your body, but now it seems that Lan Fei is even more suspicious."

She walked up to Shuang'er, pulled out the silver hairpin from her head and stabbed at the palm of her hand, the jet-black blood immediately climbed up the silver hairpin, like a poisonous snake winding and spitting out letters.

She moved the hairpin to Shuang'er's eyes, and said: "Every time you serve Concubine Chang's meals, you will hide the poison given to you by Concubine Lan in your palm. You are very smart, but also stupid enough."

Shuang'er shook her head violently, and looked at Chang Xiuru as if asking for help: "I don't, no, the servant was framed."

Chang Xiuru took a few breaths, and said: "Shuang'er has been with me since childhood, why did you harm me? Why did Concubine Lan harm me? If you don't make it clear, I will never believe you!"

Lin Qingyu said: "I don't know about that, after all, I'm not among the many servants in the palace, and I don't know what happened to you." She moved the hairpin to Shuang'er's eyes, and aimed the tail of the hairpin at her eyeballs.

"It was Concubine Lan who used the lives of her slaves and servants' family members...ahhhhhhh!" Before Shuang'er could finish speaking, Lin Qingyu stabbed the hairpin straight into her eyeballs.

Lin Qingyu wiped the hairpin with a handkerchief, and said annoyedly: "Sure enough, it's this boring reason again."

She said lightly: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can't be both. If you are really loyal and filial, you can cut yourself off so that Concubine Lan can't get a reason! Instead of telling the reason for your misery now to make people feel sorry for you, everyone will only find it disgusting." That's all."

Chang Xiuru hissed at the top of her lungs and said, "Why did Concubine Lan want to kill me! Shuang'er! Why!!! Tell me!!!!"

Shuang'er covered her bleeding eyes, and said miserably: "This servant really doesn't know...! This servant really doesn't know, my lord, this servant only works for Concubine Lan because she is worried about the safety of her family, so please forgive me..."

Lin Qingyu said calmly: "In order to cover up for Concubine Lan, you even blocked Concubine Chang's mouth and restricted her actions, and the dose of poison was increasing day by day, causing Concubine Chang to be confused much more than she was awake. When you were doing this, did Lan Fei tell you before you did this?"

Shuang'er said coldly: "So what... I am a slave, any master can pick me up, bully me, and force me to do many things I don't want to do! Masters are well-clothed, I am not pitiful Have pity on yourself, do you want to pity my master!"

After hearing this, Chang Xiuru immediately stepped forward and slapped Shuang'er.

Chang Xiuru panted heavily, and said angrily: "You poor maid! I haven't treated you well enough, you are helping outsiders to harm me! You are going to kill me!!!! Low maid!!! Gong killed you!!!"

"If you want to kill Shuang'er, I'll let my sister handle it, but keeping Shuang'er is very beneficial to bring down Concubine Lan. Sister, think about it carefully, if you kill Shuang'er to vent your anger, there will be no one to testify." Lin Qingyu finished speaking Among the stakes, a porcelain box was left behind, "The medicine in it can be taken every four hours to suppress the toxicity."

Chang Xiuru laughed miserably: "Why do you help me like this? We are clearly mortal enemies, shouldn't you send me away? Why did you save me in the end, Lin Qingyu, are you crazy too?"

Lin Qingyu said indifferently: "Enemy? I don't even know how we became enemies."

At this time, Shuang'er suddenly became ruthless, biting something hard.

"Mo'er, stop her!"

Lin Qingyu stepped forward to break Shuang'er's mouth, and looked inside carefully, "It's just bitten through the skin, and it doesn't affect your speech." She stuffed the handkerchief in, handed the rope beside Chang Xiuru's bed to Mo'er, and looked out. He called the accompanying eunuch, "Tie her to the woodshed and hang her life."

She looked at Shuang'er coldly, and said almost every word: "If you testify well, I can save the lives of your family members; if you want to die, I have many ways to hang your life, but you But the family can no longer live." She pinched Shuang'er's chin and exerted all her strength, "So please don't do this kind of stupid thing again, even pigs wouldn't do it!"

Seeing such a high-spirited person, Chang Xiuru couldn't help laughing: "Lin Qingyu, did you come here today to show off your strength with me! Is your current pride just to set off how humble I am? My person, my business , you have arranged everything clearly, you are indeed worthy of being a concubine, huh?"

"Showing off my power? What power do I have to show off, but I'm just a pitiful person like my sister."

"What do you mean by that?"

Lin Qingyu sighed: "Who is not pitiful in this harem? Even if it is decorated with gold and jade, and the decoration is complicated and gorgeous, it is still just a bird imprisoned in this cage. How can it be distinguished?"

Originally, she also hated Chang Xiuru very much, hated that she looked down on her, targeted her everywhere, was unreasonable, and even more hated that she collaborated with others to frame her family and killed her sister.

But compared to Chang Xiuru, she still resented the emperor more.

Their lives belonged to the emperor, and they only belonged to the emperor. They couldn't control all their emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. The emperor was happy and rewarded him with a few pieces of decorative jewelry, and the jewelry was also used to please the emperor, and it wasn't even his own—— ——Because all the jewels after the death of the concubine will be melted and made into new ones to be distributed to the new batch of beautiful women entering the palace.

But the emperor is not happy, he will be treated harshly by the palace people for food, clothing, housing and transportation, even worse than the palace maids, if he says a wrong sentence, he will attract the power of thunder. There are also people who want to enter the palace with their heads smashed.

As for being favored, every concubine except the queen is trying every means to be favored, because only by being favored can they get what they want, beautiful clothes, gorgeous jewelry, delicious food, luxurious palace... But they don't know, all of these are It doesn't belong to them, Jun's kindness is like flowing water, in the blink of an eye, all these things will happen to others.

To fight, to fight, is just to make yourself live better.

Lin Qingyu stared at Chang Xiuru who was frowning in confusion, and suddenly said, "Don't you feel very tired?"

Chang Xiuru was startled, shook her head vigorously, and said with a smile: "Only the weak will feel tired and find reasons!"

Lin Qingyu smiled: "Then I hope that you can be a strong man for the rest of your life." She stood up and walked slowly towards the door.

Chang Xiuru couldn't understand for a while whether Lin Qingyu was mocking herself or encouraging herself.

She suddenly laughed wantonly.

Originally, because of her high or low status, Lin Qingyu was the one she despised and hated the most, but now she didn't know why, she looked at Lin Qingyu much more pleasingly.

I don't know whether it is out of instinct or habit, but she regards a weak person who will not be an enemy of her as a thorn in the side, oppressing and bullying everywhere, why?She doesn't know either.

From the moment she stepped into the palace gate, she made up her mind to become the person loved by thousands of people. She knew that entering the harem meant fighting with others, and also knew that only by fighting could she get what she wanted. Existence that I don't want to see.

She thought that her unique advantages could protect her and make her skyrocket to [-] miles, but now she is the stupidest and most downtrodden person, and she is also the most incompetent person. After becoming a concubine, he said so many things as if he wanted to save her.

But why is God so unfair?

She couldn't figure it out.

Why did she have such an advantage, but ended up with nothing? Why did everything she wanted disappear like quicksand in the palm of her hand?

Obviously she should be proud of herself now, but why is everyone betraying her now, even the maid who grew up with her betrays her?
Obviously when she was a child, she had everything whether it was the love of her elder brother or the love of her parents.

Why is there nothing now.

Everything was taken away.
