Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 153 Poisonous Blood
Su Lijin's body was wrapped in gauze bandages, even though she was wearing a phoenix robe, it couldn't cover up the white gauze, and even a few traces of blood could be seen on the gauze, which was shocking.

Facing everyone's scrutiny, Su Lijin's complexion was as usual, but that beautiful face was slightly pale, with abnormal whiteness due to excessive blood loss.

But even so, she didn't say a word, she always stood upright, serving the Queen Mother's palace without complaint.

Everyone in the palace looked at her with a bit of unbearable expression.

They didn't expect that Su Lijin would be so filial that she would serve in front of the Empress Dowager regardless of her physical injuries.

They have also heard the rumors about her benevolence, loyalty and filial piety in the palace.

At this moment, everyone had somewhat different views on the queen.

As long as it is about eating and drinking for the Queen Mother, Su Lijin would take it first, pass through her hands, and then pass it to the Queen Mother.

Ever since Lu Bingqian mentioned that the Queen Mother might have been poisoned chronically and asked her to help with the investigation, she has made a decision.

To investigate, one must go deep into the queen mother's side.

And chronic toxins must still exist in daily life.

Someone must put in a little bit of toxin at some point every time, and ingest it day by day, which will eventually lead to the decline of the Queen Mother's body.

When everyone was not paying attention, Su Lijin would quietly test the tea in his hand.

Want to test out what the toxin is.

However, nothing was found.

Su Li frowned suspiciously, and could not help looking at the Queen Mother.

The queen mother was as usual, sitting on the chair gracefully and luxuriously, with no abnormal expression on her face, even her complexion looked normal, and there was no sign of poisoning at all.

Looking at the tea in his hand, Su Lijin couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Doctor Lu misdiagnosed and made a mistake?
It's no wonder that she would have such suspicions. Everything is too normal. She has been tested for half a day, but there is still no trace, and there is no sign of poisoning.

Although Lu Bingqian's medical skills are excellent, there may be times when he makes mistakes and misdiagnoses.

She decided to ask him later to confirm with him.

"Bring over the tea." The Queen Mother glanced over.

Su Lijin collected her thoughts and brought the teacup to the Queen Mother: "Please drink tea, Queen Mother."

Her eyes kept secretly falling on the Queen Mother, still trying to find out what was wrong.

The queen mother took the cup casually, but the nails on her hands were too long, and she accidentally knocked over the water cup while drinking, and the broken porcelain scratched her fingers instantly, and traces of blood flowed from the fingertips.

"Hiss!" The queen mother frowned, and the maids and eunuchs beside her hurriedly searched for medicine.

Su Lijin's eyes widened suddenly, and she was on the spot in a daze.

The Empress Dowager's blood... turned out to be red with black in it!
This is so abnormal!

Staring closely at the bloodstain, various thoughts flashed through Su Lijin's mind, and she was almost sure that the Queen Mother had really been poisoned!
Her heart shuddered, and her eyes instantly became dignified.

"Queen Mother, the medicine and gauze are here!" The maid immediately handed over a tray containing the medicine and gauze.

Taking the tray away, Su Lijin showed a worried expression, and said, "Queen Mother, let my concubine help you with the medicine."

The Queen Mother glanced at her, frowned at her bleeding hand, nodded, and did not refuse.

Su Lijin quickly wiped off the blood with gauze, then applied a layer of medicinal powder, and finally wrapped it up with clean gauze.

After finishing all this, Su Lijin immediately found an excuse and left the queen mother's palace.

Looking intently at the tray in his hand, there was gauze stained with the queen mother's blood on it, Su Lijin didn't stop, and handed it directly to Lu Bingqian.

Lu Bingqian did not expect that Su Lijin would gain something so quickly, looking at the abnormal blood stains on the gauze, his eyes flashed with solemn light.

"It does look like some sort of toxin," he said.

Su Lijin nodded: "Master, quickly find out what kind of poison it is."

"Ah."

After taking out the gauze, Lu Bingqian focused on examining the toxic components in the blood.

On the other end, the Prime Minister and Concubine Shu were expressing their dissatisfaction in the imperial study.

Zhang Wenfeng looked dissatisfied, and cupped his hands and said: "I heard that the queen is serving the queen mother filially, and I think this is very inappropriate."

"Oh? What does the Prime Minister think is wrong?" Xiao Shengyun said indifferently, as if he didn't care what Zhang Wenfeng said at all.

He held a book in his hand, and did not raise his eyes.

He didn't look at them when the two came in, and he didn't seem to care what the expressions of the two were, but his mind was immersed in the books in his hands.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Wenfeng was slightly dissatisfied, but he still said: "The queen is the mother of a country, and it is not appropriate to serve the queen mother herself. After all, it is better for a concubine to do such a thing."

After finishing speaking, he secretly winked at Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu nodded immediately: "Yes, Your Majesty, the empress is precious, how can she suffer so much? The concubine is used to serving the queen mother, so let the concubine do these things."

Su Lijin served the Queen Mother, who knew what was on her mind.

What if the queen mother is well served by her, and her attitude towards her changes, and she starts to be favored, what should I do?
In terms of his identity, he was overwhelmed by Su Lijin, and he has always relied on the empress dowager's love to be able to stay in the limelight.

If Su Lijin snatched away the Queen Mother's favor, then she, Wei Shu, would lose a lot of support in this palace.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly scolded Su Lijin for being so scheming, that she actually wanted to trick the Queen Mother!

"The empress sacrificed her life to save the empress dowager, and she was kind, loyal and filial to the empress dowager. This is a good story, why is it inappropriate?"

Xiao Shengying didn't lift his head.

Hearing this, Zhang Wenfeng frowned, turned his mind quickly, and said: "Then why not let Concubine Shu take care of the Empress Dowager together, and they can take better care of the Empress Dowager."

Concubine Shu quickly said yes.

At this time, Xiao Shengyun raised his head from the book: "Concubine Shu has just given birth to the prince. The prince is young and cannot live without his mother. Concubine Shu can stay in her own palace, and there is no need to do other things."

The voice is light, but the tone cannot be refuted.

After repeated rejections, Zhang Wenfeng had no choice.

Concubine Shu frowned, the emperor used the prince as an example, but she really couldn't refute it.

At this time, the Tai Hospital has made progress.

Lu Bingqian detected the toxin and showed it to Su Lijin.

Looking at the toxin, Su Lijin said with a heavy expression, "Master, may you have an antidote?"

The queen mother's poison must be untied.

Lu Bingqian raised the corners of his lips gently: "Come and teach me how to prepare the antidote."

Su Lijin was overjoyed immediately: "Really?"

She was apprenticed to Lu Bingqian, but it was the first time she prepared the antidote for the poison, so she became excited all of a sudden.

The two began to prepare the antidote. Gradually, the figures could not help touching slightly, and the shadows overlapped lightly on the ground.

When Xiao Shengyun came in, what he saw was this scene, and his black eyes suddenly turned cold.

"What are you doing?!"

As soon as the two were separated, Xiao Shengyun was full of jealousy, "It is best to observe the etiquette of men and women with the queen, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."

Su Lijin froze for a moment, then looked up at him with astonishment.

Lu Bingqian recovered from his astonishment, and suddenly laughed and said: "Your Majesty, I am teaching your mother how to prepare the antidote, but it is just a normal contact, and there is no violation of the rules. Is the Emperor worried too much?"

Hearing this, Xiao Shengyun just swept the medicinal materials on the table and realized that he had misunderstood the two of them, his face froze slightly.

"Princess Lu is a gentleman, is the emperor a bit of a villain?"

Su Lijin deliberately turned to Lu Bingqian.

These words made Xiao Shengyun's face darken instantly.

Seeing that the situation was going wrong, Lu Bingqian hurriedly drove the two away.

The two left the imperial hospital, and walked around the imperial garden one after the other.

Walking, far away, I heard a baby crying.

"Empress, the little prince is crying so much that it makes people feel distressed. The concubine has been taking care of him day and night, and his body can't bear it."

Seeing the two men coming side by side, Concubine Shu felt sour in her heart, and stepped forward to be wronged and said: "Why don't you help my concubine take him and coax him?"
