I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 35
"Miss, haven't you been too calm lately?" Yun Yi asked in a low voice while helping Qu Lingxu try on the Shu brocade dress hurriedly made by the House of Internal Affairs.

"It's rare for Aunt Xu to hold her breath once, so let's just wait." Qu Lingxu picked up a crested walker and stuck it on her temples, and said calmly.

The reason why Mrs. Xu has not acted these days is because her status is very different now, and ordinary trivial things can't hurt her at all. This idea... probably went to the banquet.

"Miss, don't worry, the servants will carefully inspect all the things you are going to bring into the palace tomorrow, and they will never let them take advantage of it." Considering the dangerous scene that Qu Lingxu experienced in the palace last time, Yun Yi is extremely excited this time. Be careful, even the silver needles for drug testing have more than a dozen.

"What should come will always come, don't be so nervous." Qu Lingxu's style is definitely not to sit and wait for death, but to take the initiative. However, where do you find this breakthrough?

Concentrating on her eyebrows for a moment, Qu Lingxu looked up at Yunyi, "Dinner is very good, you can find a reason to let Cuiqiao come to serve in the house." Cuiqiao was one of the two eyeliners that Wang Butler had put in before. After the arson incident was dealt with, Qu Lingxu did not embarrass Cuiqiao, who shared the room with her, and Cuiqiao also obeyed the rules everywhere, and did not do anything wrong.

Both Xu and Qu Lingxu were waiting for a more suitable time to use this excellent chess piece.

Yun Yi's thoughts were considered meticulous, and she understood after a little thought: "Miss wants Cuiqiao to deliver the news?"

"Tomorrow's banquet will be attended by the wives and ladies of various princes and noble residences. These people are friends or enemies. It is necessary to distinguish them one by one. It is inevitable that they will not be able to deal with Xu. In this case, it is better to take the initiative to give her a handle. Catch." With Ling Xiao Lingyun staring at her, Qu Lingxu wasn't worried that someone would hurt her, but it was necessary to deal with the other person in the same way.

"This... Will Aunt Xu believe it?" Yun Yi did not deny that Qu Lingxu's idea was very good, but Xu's suffered several losses in succession, so she would definitely be more cautious, and she might not believe in ordinary strategies.

"True and false, false and true, there has never been a set rule. As long as it is realistic enough and the benefits are large enough, someone will definitely take the risk." No matter how big it is, it is still repeatedly banned, just because these things can bring huge benefits.

What's more, getting rid of her will bring benefits to the Xu sisters far beyond the immediate ones.

"Yes, Miss." Yun Yi nodded as if feeling lost.

The matter was arranged quietly. At dinner time, only two dishes were served and there was no movement. Yun Xin felt strange and went to the kitchen to have a look. After a while, she brought Cuiqiao and another girl in. Qu Lingxu didn't seem to notice. When he found someone coming in, he only put the hairpin that had been split into two in his hand back in place, and handed it to Yun Yi, "Put it away carefully, this hairpin will be of great use to Miss Ben tomorrow."

Yun Yi nodded, but a trace of worry flashed across her face, "Miss, is the powder in this hairpin really an asthma-inducing medicine? What if someone finds out?"

"This hairpin was specially designed by this lady with a skilled craftsman, and no one will find out." Qu Lingxu's tone was two points colder than before, "You know this matter, if it leaks out, don't blame this lady You're welcome."

"Yes..." Yun Yi was about to agree, but when she turned around, she saw Yun Xin and others standing at the door, she was shocked and said, "Who let you in?"

Yun Xin was suddenly reprimanded by Yun Yi, with a look of grievance on her face, she distinguished: "The girl in charge of passing the dishes in the kitchen was accidentally scalded by hot water. Bring the food."

This kind of explanation didn't make Qu Lingxu's complexion any better, he just said coldly: "Yun Xin, you should know my lady's rules."

Qu Lingxu's words were quite serious, Yun Xin knelt down immediately, and said in fear and fear: "Your servant is innocent, please forgive me."

Yun Yi, who was still considered face-to-face by Qu Lingxu's side, was like this, and Cuiqiao and the two quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

"My lady has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. Since you have committed a mistake, there is absolutely no reason for forgiveness. Considering that this is your first offense, each slaps each other ten times. If you commit another offense, you will not be forgiven lightly."

This kind of punishment is really not too heavy. After Qu Lingxu finished speaking, Yun Xin and the three started working from left to right, slapping themselves on the face. Fortunately, Qu Lingxu did not increase the punishment. After the slap was over, he waved his hand to let them retreated.

With this moderate disturbance, all the people in the courtyard were full of energy to wait for them, for fear of causing trouble to the upper body. This tense atmosphere lasted until Qu Lingxu went to the inner room to rest, and then gradually calmed down.

In the dormitory, Qu Lingxu was not in a hurry to rest, but sat at the table thoughtfully. After about an incense stick, Yun Xin cautiously opened the door and came in, and said: "As Miss expected, Cui Coincidentally, I just went out through the back door."

Qu Lingxu nodded, beckoning Yun Xin to her face, stroking her red and swollen cheeks, and said with some distress: "You girl is also sincere, just pretending, why do you have to be so cruel."

Yun Xin was moved by Qu Lingxu's heartfelt comfort, and quickly shook her head and said, "Miss, don't worry, this servant has rough skin and thick flesh, so this little injury is nothing, but are you sure you can get out of danger tomorrow?"

Compared with the wound on her face, Yun Xin was more worried about Qu Lingxu's safety.

"Don't worry, even if Cuiqiao doesn't tell Mrs. Xu, I can deal with them." Qu Lingxu handed the two ice packs that she had taken out from the doctor's system to Yun Xin, and said, "Use this compress at night. Once you put it on your face, in order not to arouse Xu Shi's suspicion, it will be fine for Yunyi to accompany me into the palace tomorrow, and you stay to watch the house."

"Miss, don't worry, this slave will know."

When Jianjia Courtyard was silent, Cuiqiao sneaked out and came to Jinxiu Pavilion by moonlight. Mrs. Xu was very annoyed that Cuiqiao did not obey her order and acted hastily, but after hearing the news she reported, her anger changed. She became completely shocked, "What did you say, there is something hidden in Qu Lingxu's hairpin?"

Mrs. Xu thought that she was not an ignorant person, but she had never heard of the hairpin of the inner hidden agency.

For Xu's question, Cuiqiao quickly gave an affirmative answer, "Reporting to the master, the servant is really serious, the hairpin is two pieces, and there is a small hole in the middle, according to Yun Yi who is beside the eldest lady. Said, there should be medicine that can induce asthma in it, as for what the eldest lady is going to use it for, the servant does not know."

asthma?

What Cuiqiao couldn't understand fell into Xu's ears, but she felt a sense of enlightenment. Few people knew that Concubine Xu Gui had suffered from severe asthma since she was born. The decoction was constant, and they were able to control it. Qu Lingxu regarded their sisters as a thorn in her side, and she must have inquired about this matter secretly, thinking of getting close to her sister at the palace banquet, and causing her sister to die of an asthma attack!

It must be so!

"You little bastard, you have such vicious thoughts, it's a pity that you are doomed to be defeated by my wife!" Mrs. Xu slapped the table heavily, looked at Cuiqiao and said, "In order not to let that little The slut has noticed something is wrong, so you go back quickly, wait for her to leave the general's mansion tomorrow morning, and then come here secretly, my wife will let you enter the palace dressed as Yan'er's maid, and you know what to say when the time comes!"

Murdering the imperial concubine is a capital offense, she wants to see how this little bitch ends up!
The night slowly slipped through everyone's different thoughts, because the Queen Mother hosted the banquet in person, and Qu Lingxu was the protagonist, just after the genius was up, Yun Yi and others began to dress up Qu Lingxu, a cherry red set The Shu brocade silk gown is made by the most famous court tailor today. On the left and right sides of the hair bun, there are two high-quality crystal glazed walkers, and the surrounding is embellished with emerald emeralds. She couldn't help praising the mirror: "Miss is really beautiful, but it's a pity that she was covered in dust before, and it's only now that she can bloom in front of people."

"It doesn't matter if it's dusty or not, as long as it's real gold, it can shine anyway." Qu Lingxu got up slowly, and accompanied by Yunyi, went to Fufang Hall to greet Chen Shi, Chen Shi looked at her precious daughter so outstanding , I was naturally happy in my heart, but still couldn't help but worry and said: "Xu'er, the empress dowager has given such a great grace, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people. You must be more careful today. If there is anything you can't handle, you must I want to find my mother, you understand?" As Qu Lingxu's biological mother, Chen Shi naturally also participated in the Ji Ji Banquet, but the social circles of the mother and daughter are different, and there is hardly much overlap.

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter can handle it. You'd better stay with your aunts. No matter what happens, don't act alone." Qu Lingxu would never let Mrs. Chen go to the banquet unless she had to. Recently, Mrs. Chen Although she has changed, she is not good at strategy by nature and can be easily used by others.

Seeing Qu Lingxu's worry, Mrs. Chen nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Mother will definitely not cause you any trouble, just take care of yourself."

After a brief exchange, Qu Lingxu had breakfast with Mrs. Chen, and together they boarded a carriage that symbolized the title of First-Class Princess and headed for the palace. The ancient capital was not as prosperous as it is in modern times. There is only one main road leading to the palace. The main road is very wide and can accommodate four or five carriages. On both sides of the road, there are many small vendors selling various agricultural and sideline products. Looking at the beautiful scenery outside.

"Miss, do you like to be lively?" Yun asked with a smile, seeing that Qu Lingxu was interesting.

"Look at these people. Although their lives are not rich, everyone has a sincere smile on their faces. They live a much more comfortable life than those of us who are busy fighting each other every day." A greedy word ruins so much beauty.

Seeing that Qu Lingxu's tone was a bit sad, Yun Yi was about to speak comfortingly, when he suddenly heard a hissing sound, followed by the man's wailing...
