I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 55 Aphrodisiacs

"What does the empress mean... Qu Lingxu likes Leng Yuanxun?" Leng Yuanxun has an aloof and eccentric personality, and rarely socializes. He has never seen any woman in contact with him in so many years. Even Princess Qingyu, who has a deep love for him, rarely sees him alone. Smiley, how could it be related to Qu Lingxu?
"Why, the emperor thinks it's impossible?" After asking such a question, before Murong Jing could answer, the queen smiled and continued: "You don't understand women, women, whoever treats her well, she will gradually fall in love with them, A few days ago, Leng Yuanxun was infected with the plague, and it was Qu Lingxu who rescued him. For this reason, Leng Yuanxun specially gave her an exquisite hairpin. You saw this in Shoukang Palace last time. There are many people who come and go. It just happened naturally.”

"I see." Murong Jing snorted with some disdain, "It seems that he is destined to be disappointed."

From Murong Jing's point of view, regardless of his status or knowledge, he is no worse than Leng Yuanxun in everything. As long as Qu Lingxu still has a sliver of judgment, he will definitely choose him.

So... being too blindly confident is not a good thing.

Let's talk about Rong Sheng, after returning home that night, he naturally told the old lady Zhongyonghou and Princess Anle in detail about the experience on the road. On the contrary, Princess An Le was quite frightened, and immediately asked the government doctor to examine Rong Sheng carefully to make sure that there was nothing wrong before she got better. Just as the Queen and Murong Jing expected, they almost subconsciously believed that the mastermind was behind the scenes. It was Concubine Xu's party, Murong Li was furious about this scapegoat that fell from the sky, but he had no way to defend himself, so he could only send people to suppress those rumors, but the rumors seemed to have grown wings, and quickly spread to every street in the capital. lane.

Murong Li's good reputation, which she had worked hard for many years, was ruined by more than half in a few days.

Between him and Qu Lingxu, the old hatred was doomed to add a new one.

"Miss, the weather is so nice, you should also go for a walk in the street. It's been quite lively outside these few days!" Yun Yi laughed with a pun.

"They went to pass it on to them. It must be that Miss Ben framed the King of the Mausoleum." Qu Lingxu had a large pile of herbs in front of her. She smelled this and looked at that from time to time, and then sorted them according to their functions.

Her foundation in traditional Chinese medicine is too weak, and it will take a long time to improve by visual estimation.

At this time, Qu Lingxu especially wanted to meet that Miracle Doctor Xu whom he had never met before. Hey, it would be great if they were not enemies.

"Xuxu, how long do we have to wait!" Rong Sheng lay down on the table weakly, and looked at Qu Lingxu with despairing eyes.

After what happened last time, Princess Anle locked him in the mansion for many days, and finally released him today. He originally wanted to have fun, but ended up watching herbs with Qu Lingxu all morning, and he wanted to see them all. Doubt is alive.

"You said you wanted to study medicine, I didn't force you." Qu Lingxu raised his head to look at Rong Sheng once in a while, and continued to memorize the properties of medicine.

Counting the days, Leng Yuanxun should be in the Jiangling area soon. Although she has tried her best to avoid the plague, she is still not sure, and these prescriptions can be considered safe.

"Hey, why am I so miserable!" Rong Shengsheng wailed helplessly, turned his head to Yun Yi and said, "Go, make me a cup of Dahongpao, my throat is almost smoking."

Rong Sheng's tongue is very picky, except for Dahongpao and Dongding Oolong, he can't drink any other tea.

Yun Yi agreed, and was in a hurry. After a while, she came in with two delicate blue and white porcelain tea cups. As soon as she opened the tea cups, the fragrance immediately filled the room.

"Xuxu, try it, this is specially given to me by the emperor's uncle, not even the empress's." Rong Sheng brought a cup of tea and presented it to Qu Lingxu like a treasure.

Qu Lingxu lifted the lid and took a look. The color was even and bright, and the aroma was long. Even she, who doesn't know much about tea, knew that it was tea from the Dahongpao mother tree. The yield was very small, and it was more precious than gold. Rong Sheng was rewarded with all his tea, which shows the emperor's love for this nephew.

"Leave it alone, I'll finish sorting out these herbs first." Qu Lingxu put the lid back on the teacup.

"Yes." Rong Sheng understood Qu Lingxu's temperament, and he didn't try to persuade him. He just put the teacup away and sat down in his original position.

Huh?
Why do you feel something is wrong?
Qu Lingxu sniffed, and was about to speak, when she looked up and saw Rong Sheng was about to put tea into her mouth, she interrupted almost subconsciously: "You can't drink it!"

Rong Sheng was taken aback by Qu Lingxu's stern words, looked at him blankly, and hesitantly said, "Xuxu, what's wrong with you?"

Qu Lingxu didn't answer Rong Sheng's words, but walked forward with a solemn expression, took the teacup in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, before he sneered and said, "What a delicate thought."

"Miss, what's wrong with this tea?" Seeing that Qu Lingxu was silent, Yun Yi's expression became serious, and she asked softly, "Could it be someone poisoned you?"

"Poison? Who would dare to poison this son who doesn't want to live anymore?" Rong Sheng felt a chill run down his spine, subconsciously jumped up from the chair, and looked at Qu Lingxu with big eyes in disbelief. .

"Slow down, Yunyi, close the door." Qu Lingxu picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and smelled it carefully.

"Oh." Yun Yi didn't dare to disturb Qu Lingxu, but closed the door cautiously.

After isolating the noise in early autumn, Qu Lingxu put the teacup on the table, and said calmly, "What's in this tea is not poison."

Most of the ancient poisons were lead and mercury, which would turn black immediately when they encountered silver, but the tea in front of them was obviously not.

"It's not poison, what is that?" Rong Sheng and Yun Yi asked in unison.

"Aphrodisiac." The doctor's system quickly confirmed Qu Lingxu's guess that both of these two big red robes contained a considerable amount of aphrodisiac.

Hearing this, Yun Yi knelt down with a thud, and said aggrievedly: "Miss Mingjian, this servant didn't do anything!"

She kept the teacup and tea leaves by herself, and even the tea was brewed by her. No matter from which point of view, she was the most suspected one, but she really didn't know anything!

"You have been with me for so long, how could I doubt you." Qu Lingxu bent down to help Yunyi up in fear, and continued: "Just think about who has touched these things in the past few days. Ladi tell me all about it."

"Xuxu, why did they give aphrodisiacs?" If they wanted to kill him, wouldn't it be better to just give him poison?
"There are many ways to test for drugs. If you are not careful, you will be noticed. In contrast, colorless and odorless aphrodisiacs are much more convenient." Under the doubtful eyes of Yun Yi and Rong Sheng, Qu Lingxu said again : "Rong Sheng has always been close to me, as long as he is a normal-thinking person, he will not think that I have any reason to poison him, but aphrodisiacs are different. If we both drink this tea today, something that shouldn't happen will happen. , everyone will think that my intentions are not right, and I deliberately seduced Rong Sheng, and...Rong Sheng is young, if he can't bear the drug, irreversible consequences are very likely to occur. Won't let me go."

"They have vicious thoughts!" Rong Sheng slapped his palm on the table and said angrily, "I must find out these vicious people and let the emperor's uncle punish them severely!"

Seeing that Rong Sheng was about to run out, Qu Lingxu stopped him first, "There is no name written on this teacup, how are you going to testify against the murderer?"

"This..." Rong Sheng snorted coldly, "The General's Mansion is only this big, there are still a few people who want to harm me, as long as they are arrested and tortured, I don't believe no one will confess!"

She actually wanted to kill him, and frame Xuxu with this. If he didn't find out who was behind the scenes, he would be a descendant of Zhongyonghou's mansion in vain!
Severe torture to extract a confession?
It's that easy.

She had heard that the honorable Princess Qingyu had also come to the General's Mansion today, and Qu Lingxu would never believe that she was not involved in this scene.

Even though he thought so, Qu Lingxu did not directly deny Rong Sheng's words, but instead asked: "Rong Sheng, do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you." Rong Sheng nodded without thinking.

"In this case, you just..." Qu Lingxu whispered a few words in Rong Sheng's ear, and a sly smile flashed across Rong Sheng's face, and he nodded, "Xuxu, don't worry, I will definitely Will play the game well."

What happened in the house, the people outside naturally don't know, they only know that the door that was originally open was closed tightly, there was a commotion in the house from time to time, and a curious servant wanted to come over to listen, but Yun Yi spoke harshly. He scolded and left.

That's how people are, the more they can't see, the more curious they become, until Rong Sheng's sharp cry came from the room clearly, "It's so uncomfortable, Xuxu, what did you feed me, I feel so uncomfortable!"

"Your Majesty, if you bear it for a while longer, you won't feel uncomfortable. Not only will it not be uncomfortable, but it will also be very comfortable." Qu Lingxu's voice came through the door.

"It's so uncomfortable, Xuxu, Xuxu..."

"My son, my son, you don't want to be like this, I..."

Forehead?
The little maids who have not yet been married look at me and I look at you, not knowing what these inexplicable words mean, but those middle-aged nuns can't help but face, thinking that this young lady is with you. It's really indecent for the son of Rong Sheng to do such a thing in broad daylight.

Naturally, secrets cannot be hidden in the deep house and compound, and some people with good intentions have spread this scene vividly.

"Has it really worked?" In the Jinxiu Pavilion, a girl dressed in a light purple Shu brocade palace dress asked with a sneer.

Who else could wear a brocade of flowing water and falling flowers worth a hundred gold feet, except for the emperor's most beloved Princess Qingyu?
