After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of Hunjun

Chapter 55 Hope
  Early the next morning, Lin Zhiyu heard someone knocking on her door.

"Where's Nanny Xu?"

She opened the door, and in front of her was a strange little palace maid, holding a food box in her hand.

"Nanny Xu went out to do some errands yesterday and she hasn't come back yet." The little palace maid handed the food box in Lin Zhiyu's hand with a business-like attitude.

Going out to run errands?

In this wilderness, I'm afraid she will never come back.

Lin Zhiyu frowned slightly, but she didn't expect that she had underestimated Jiang Tongmiao's cruelty, and she seemed to have indirectly contributed to Nanny Xu's death, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to close the door, he saw Liu'er hurriedly walking this way.

Just as Lin Zhiyu was about to ask, Liu'er knelt down in front of her with a plop.

"Big girl, please, please save Xiuyuan!" Liu'er's eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried. "Yesterday, my mother was fine and in high spirits. She even ate an extra bowl of dinner. But when I woke up this morning, I started to have a fever again!”

"But what kind of hair-growing food did you eat? Has the imperial doctor come to see you?"

Liu'er shook her head: "The imperial doctor just left and said that the empress has no way to save her!"

Lin Zhiyu called into the house and handed the food box in Qiaoxiu's hand: "I'll go take a look."

When Qiaoxiu saw it was Liu'er, her eyes showed a bit of worry. She pulled Lin Zhiyu aside and whispered: "Miss, do you want me to come with you?"

We still don’t know what role Liu Er played on the day of Lin Xiaolian’s accident. If Lin Zhiyu was the one who delivered the food box that day, how should she explain to the prince?

"You should stay and watch Xiaolian." Lin Zhiyu shook her head, "No matter what, she will not use Xu Jiu'er to harm me."

In the previous life, when Xu Jiu'er died of illness, Liu'er also committed suicide.

Liu'er, who was kneeling on the ground, could see Qiao Xiu's worry. She almost fell to the ground, her body was shaking slightly, and she sobbed: "I know yesterday's lie can't be hidden from the eldest girl, but all this is for Xiu." Madam Yuan, I, this slave, I didn’t know that something like that would happen.”

Lin Zhiyu and Qiaoxiu looked at each other.

"As long as the eldest lady is willing to save the empress, you can punish Liu'er as you wish!"

Although Lin Zhiyu couldn't see the expression on Liu'er's face, looking at her sincere expression, it didn't look like she was lying, so he said, "Let's go see how Xu Xiuyuan is doing. As for what happened yesterday, we'll talk about it later."

Qiao Xiu pulled Liu'er up from the ground, the warning in her eyes clear.

Liu'er lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Qiao Xiu's eyes.

Arriving at Xu Jiuer's wing, Lin Zhiyu was keenly aware that the smell of medicine in the room was a little different from what he smelled the day before yesterday.

Xu Jiu'er was lying on the bed, her face flushed, and she was already a little confused.

The weather was hot, and the wound on her leg was already tending to suppurate, and yellow-black blood slowly seeped out from the gauze.

The imperial doctor was busy applying acupuncture to Xu Jiu'er, and there were thin beads of sweat on his forehead.

"I don't know why the remaining poison in Empress Xiuyuan's body suddenly became more violent, so she could only try to slow down the blood flow." The imperial doctor showed a look of regret on his face.

Lin Zhiyu asked: "Have the prescriptions for Empress Xiuyuan been changed recently?"

The imperial doctor shook his head and said, "Never."

Liu'er on the side heard their conversation, and her face suddenly turned pale, as if her strength had been drained, and she collapsed on the ground.

"It's me, it's me who harmed my empress..."

She told exactly what happened that night.

"As soon as I put away the dishes, I saw a piece of paper on the table. It said that there is a prescription that can bring the queen back to life. As long as I say a word when I see Lin Xiaolian, the other party will give me the prescription."

"It's Fang Zi again?" Lin Zhiyu became more confident in his guess, "What did she ask you to tell Lin Xiaolian?"

"It seemed like something like 'turn right when going out'. At that time, Xiaolian seemed very tired, so she didn't ask any questions. After I returned the food box to her, she walked to the right. "

To the right is the wing where Nanny Xu bumped into. Logically speaking, Zhang Qing should not have appeared there. Everything had been planned long ago.

"After everything was done, the prescription appeared on the table. I didn't think much about it. It looked similar to the original prescription, so I asked someone to change the medicinal ingredients and make a new bowl for the queen."

Liu'er took out the prescription from her sleeve and handed it to the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor was very angry about Liu'er changing the prescription privately. He blew his beard and glared: "You didn't come to ask about this life-threatening matter and just gave it to the empress? What a sin!"

"I was also anxious and hot-headed for a while. I really didn't think about it that much!"

Liu'er covered her face, tears streaming down her fingers.

When the imperial doctor saw this, he couldn't say any more words of blame, so he had to read the prescription carefully: "The medicinal materials listed above are of course the same, but the dosages are very different. This led to Empress Xiuyuan's illness." Symptoms worsen."

"Liu'er, do you still keep that piece of paper?"

"Ah? What kind of paper?" Liu'er was stunned for a while before reacting. "It says to burn it after reading it, otherwise I won't be given the prescription."

Lin Zhiyu held his forehead, feeling very tired.

The imperial doctor also sighed: "If we can survive three days, the holy hand next to King Jin will probably be able to clean out the remaining poison in Empress Xiuyuan's body. It's a pity."

"What do you mean, my wife can't survive three days?" Liu'er's eyes widened and she grabbed the corner of the doctor's clothes.

But Lin Zhiyu murmured: "Holy hand? Master Ji Yan?"

"Does the eldest lady recognize him?" The imperial doctor's eyes were full of shock.

"We met briefly before."

The imperial doctors in the palace are all selected from thousands of people, and they are somewhat arrogant. I didn't expect that such a young man could be called "holy hand" by the imperial physicians in the palace.

The imperial doctor added: "If we let him come, maybe he won't be at the point where he can't save his life."

Liu'er felt like she saw hope again, and then she begged Lin Zhiyu: "Big girl, big girl, you are the third princess, you must have a way to invite him here, right?"

The transportation here is inconvenient. No matter how fast we go, we can't reach it today.

Lin Zhiyu was in trouble for a while, but when he saw Liu'er like this, he had to help her up first and said, "I will try my best to find a way. You can relax for now."

Liu'er then went in to take care of Xu Jiu'er.

Lin Zhiyu returned to his private room, and Qiaoxiu hurriedly greeted him. After confirming that nothing happened, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In just three days, so many things happened, and she was really scared.

"Where's Lin Xiaolian?"

"She has taken medicine and her mood seems to be more stable, and she has fallen asleep now." Qiao Xiu sighed.

"Is there any way you can send a message to the prince?" Although there was little hope, Lin Zhiyu still wanted to give it a try.

Qiaoxiu nodded and blew a long whistle into the sky.

"Pullingleng——"

A homing pigeon flapped its wings and landed steadily on Qiao Xiu's hand.

"This is a homing pigeon specially trained for communication in the palace. Each secret guard has one to facilitate the transmission and exchange of information." Qiao Xiu explained.

Lin Zhiyu took a pen and paper, briefly wrote down the appeal and process, rolled the paper into a strip, and tied it to the pigeon's foot.

The pigeon flapped its wings and tilted its head to look at Lin Zhiyu.

Hanhan's silly look reminded Lin Zhiyu of the pigeon he caught when he met Chu Nian that night.

Thinking of Chu Nian's reaction when he mentioned Zhou Zijin, Lin Zhiyu unconsciously connected them.

Could it be that Chu Nian was also a secret guard trained by Zhou Zijin?
