Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 59

"Your Majesty, don't!" Luo Xiafei rushed over and twisted Su Qingyuan's wrist, snatched the tea bowl and threw it heavily on the ground.

Taking advantage of her letting go, Su Qingyuan wanted to rush to the table again.

Luoxia hugged her desperately, called a few little maids, and grabbed her firmly. "Luoxia, give me a sip of water—just one sip!" Su Qingyuan ordered panting.

Luoxia shook her head resolutely: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Before the emperor and the imperial physician come over, you'd better stand still."

Danyue rushed in from the outside, threw herself to Su Qingyuan's side and began to cry.

Su Qingyuan was so anxious that she looked at Luoxia pleadingly: "That pot of tea..." The expression on Luoxia's face was very embarrassed.

There was something wrong with that pot of tea, she had already seen it.

It was Concubine Shu who was poisoned, so the person who poisoned it was probably the Queen Mother.But—how could someone poison someone face to face?Isn't this method too clumsy?

At this moment, Su Qingluan's girl Xiaozhi and Hong'er had already rushed in, and the matter could no longer be covered up.Even if Luoxia wanted to hide the pot of tea, she couldn't do it anymore.

And, she didn't intend to do that.

Luoxia turned around to avoid Su Qingyuan's gaze, walked to the door and asked Xiao Linzi: "Is anyone going to invite the emperor?"

Xiao Linzi hurriedly said, "It's already gone."

Luoxia stood at the door for a while, then came back and told the little maid: "Help the empress to sit down first, everything will be decided after the emperor comes over."

"Your Majesty, what's going on?" Danyue cried with tears running down her cheeks.

Su Qingyuan's heart was only thinking about the pot of tea that she didn't drink.

She has no chance to drink.

But what she wanted to do wasn't done yet.

What's more frightening is that the arrival of the imperial physician is likely to push the matter to an even more irreparable situation!

As for Su Qingluan, she was not very worried.

That kind of medicine shouldn't hurt people's lives, right?Qingluan might suffer a little bit, but—who made her troublesome?
Everyone in the room waited for a long time with their own thoughts, and finally Doctor Yu came.

After examining the pulse, Imperial Physician Yu's expression became a little dignified, and he hurriedly took out a pill from the medicine box and gave it to Su Qingluan.

Then, he found another silver needle, pricked it on Su Qingluan's fingertip, held it up to the window and looked at it for a long time.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my mother?" Xiaozhi asked crying.

Imperial Physician Yu looked solemn: "It's poisoning."

Hong'er hurriedly stood up, pointing to the teapot and the empty tea bowl on the table: "The poison is there! Please examine it clearly, and make sure to cure my mother!"

Imperial Physician Yu went to the table and picked up the teapot and poured out half a bowl. After watching and sniffing for a long time, sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.

Xiao Hong knelt down and crawled in front of Su Qingyuan, crying: "Empress Dowager, Concubine Shu is your own sister! If she has done something wrong in ordinary times, you can beat her and scold her, so why kill her?" ..."

Su Qingyuan glared impatiently, and Danyue rushed up and "slapped" Hong'er's two big mouths: "Where did you come from, a dog slave, how dare you talk nonsense and bite the Queen Mother! Why don't you It is said that your master pretended to be poisoned to frame the empress dowager with ulterior motives?"

Su Qingyuan frowned, and asked Imperial Physician Yu, "Is the poison in her... difficult to cure?"

Imperial Physician Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Physician Yu, the matter is very important, please explain clearly!" Luoxia shouted with a sullen face.

Imperial Physician Yu was so frightened that he knelt down: "I would like to report to the empress dowager—this minister mainly studies pathology, and he is not good at poison art. Really... I really can't see what kind of poison the concubine Shu has suffered from!"

"Can't you see?" Su Qingyuan's face was ugly.

Imperial Physician Yu knelt down on the ground, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Master Zhang, the new envoy of the Imperial Hospital, has done a lot of research on this, can you invite him..."

Su Qingyuan threw away the maid beside her, rushed to Imperial Physician Yu and lowered her voice, "She just accidentally drank the tea that I was planning to abort, how troublesome can it be?"

Imperial Physician Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, it's not a miscarriage medicine."

Su Qingyuan was stunned.

If it wasn't the birth control pill, what would Ding Guogong have sent her?
"Niang Niang?" Luoxia looked at Su Qingyuan suspiciously.

Xiaozhi cried and knelt over: "Empress Dowager, you have always loved our empress the most, find a way to save her! No matter how the empress was poisoned, let's detoxify first and then investigate, okay?"

"Go, invite Imperial Physician Zhang to come." Su Qingyuan ordered in a deep voice.

The little maid next to her was busy and ran away again.Su Qingyuan sat down on the chair, feeling more and more confused.

Su Qingluan was curling up into a ball and twitching non-stop, the sweat on his face seemed to be splashed, the pain can be imagined.

Sensing that Su Qingyuan was looking at her, Su Qingluan struggled to open her eyes and moved her lips: "Sister..."

Su Qingyuan avoided her eyes and covered her chest.

Lu Li came in a hurry, and ran towards Su Qingyuan after entering the door: "What's the matter? Is there poison in the tea? Did you drink it?"

Su Qingyuan shook her head, and Imperial Physician Yu hurriedly said: "It is true that the tea is poisonous, but I am a ignorant minister, and I can't see what kind of poison it is. I can only judge it after Mr. Zhang comes."

"Who made the tea? Who passed it by?" Lu Li asked coldly.

Luo Xia hurriedly knelt down: "This servant made the tea, and the tea leaves are also kept by this servant, and have not passed through anyone else's hands."

Lu Li frowned, and looked at Su Qingluan suspiciously.

Hong'er cried: "Since it happened in the Fanghua Palace, of course someone in the Fanghua Palace did something wrong! Sister Luoxia didn't even investigate, she immediately cleared all other people out, this is what you gave Concubine Shu's explanation!"

Luoxia refused to argue with her, but knelt silently.

Su Qingyuan stretched out her hand to pull her up, and looked at Su Qingluan worriedly.

Physician Zhang quickly rushed over.

Su Qingyuan confirmed it with Imperial Physician Yu worriedly: "Are you sure it's not the abortion pill?"

Seeing Imperial Physician Yu nodding her head, she waved to Imperial Physician Zhang, motioning for him to come forward to treat Su Qingluan.

After looking around, hearing and asking, Doctor Zhang frowned and stood up.

Su Qingyuan pointed to the teapot on the table: "If you have any doubts, look there."

Doctor Zhang went up to look at the tea as he said, and inspected all the tea bowls used by Su Qingluan and the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. Yes, there are two poisons."

"Two kinds?" Su Qingyuan and Lu Li frowned at the same time, and even Su Qingluan couldn't help opening his eyes.

Doctor Zhang kowtowed and said, "Exactly. One is highly poisonous, enough to kill people; the other is...strictly speaking, it is not poisonous, but the effect of stimulating menstrual blood is too strong, and it is generally used for women to abort use!"

Su Qingyuan stood up suddenly with a "huh", and subconsciously rushed forward two steps.

Lu Li hurriedly grabbed her hand.

Su Qingyuan collected herself and sat back slowly, but her face had become very pale.

If she had known that there was still a miscarriage medicine, she would rather watch Su Qingluan die than let the unknown doctor Zhang come to have a look!

There are too many people who are suspicious of her now, and there are too many people who are waiting for the opportunity to make trouble!Once the two words "Youth Palace" and "Abortion Medicine" appear at the same time, it will definitely cause an uproar!

Can you still hold it?
Su Qingyuan turned her head to look at Lu Li.

The latter nodded to her: "Don't be afraid, Doctor Zhang has worked in the Imperial Hospital for many years, and he is the most cautious in his words and deeds."

The matter has come to this point, Su Qingyuan has no choice but to continue to ask Doctor Zhang: "What will happen if the two poisons are mixed together?"

Doctor Zhang stroked his beard, and said cautiously: "The principles of medicine in the world are nothing more than complementary and mutually restraining. The two kinds of poison that Concubine Shu took are exactly mutually restraining, so the abdominal pain is unbearable and the five internal organs are on fire. At the same time, fortunately, the medicinal properties are mutually restraining." Only now has the effect of the medicine been diluted, otherwise the empress would have already..."

"Tell me first whether you can save it or not!" Su Qingyuan said anxiously.

Imperial Physician Zhang murmured: "I hurried back immediately to prepare the medicine, which should be able to detoxify the poison, but the medicine is very strong, I don't know if the empress's body can bear it."

"Since there is hope, why are you dawdling here!" Su Qingyuan stomped her feet anxiously.

Imperial Physician Zhang hurriedly bowed and saluted, and was about to step back, when Lu Li said in a cold voice, "If there is a word about today's affairs, I will only ask you!"

Doctor Zhang said "Don't dare" several times, and finally retreated.

At this time, Su Qingluan was a little quieter than before, so Su Qingyuan asked someone to put her on a soft couch, and ordered Imperial Physician Yu to wait on her, gave her some analgesic medicine, and let her fall asleep.

Lu Li looked at Luoxia, then at Su Qingyuan: "You two, who has something to say to me?"

The two looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

Lu Li turned to Xiao Zhi and Hong'er again: "You two, let's talk."

Hong'er knelt down and cried: "Concubine Shu has always been weak. I don't know if my body can bear this kind of grievance. Please the emperor find out the truth and make the decision for your empress!"

Xiaozhi wiped away her tears and raised her head: "The empress dowager always loves our empress, this time the empress has been wronged in Fanghua Palace, the empress dowager must feel even more uncomfortable... But the servants still dared to beg the empress dowager to strictly judge the maids of Fanghua Palace , give justice to my mother!"

Su Qingyuan stood leaning against the screen, and said in a shy voice: "Luoxia will not poison. She has no enmity with Concubine Shu, and I have no grudges against me. There is no reason to poison others... If Luoxia didn't stop her quickly, Now I must have fallen too."

Lu Li glanced at the shards of the teacup on the ground, then raised his head: "Until now, no one has been willing to tell me clearly what happened!"

Luoxia calmly recounted what she had seen and heard, and finally added: "The empress dowager had already put the teapot away and ordered the slaves to make another tea, but it was the concubine Shu who insisted on drinking this pot , and drink it before the Empress Dowager... Before the tea in the Empress Dowager's bowl touches her lips, Concubine Shu is already poisoned."

Hong'er stood up suddenly with a "huh": "What do you mean by that? Could it be that our empress was poisoned, and then she drank it first, in order to frame the empress dowager? Doctor Zhang also said just now that the poison is fierce. , if it weren't for the two poisons to restrain each other, our empress would have been unlucky at this time! Have you seen any family who used their own lives to frame others?"

"I'm just stating what I saw in my eyes, why are you panicking?" Luoxia sneered.

"Okay!" Lu Li interrupted the girls' quarrel irritably.

Su Qingyuan kept her brows tightly locked, preoccupied.

Lu Li looked at her, feeling a little scared, but also a little suspicious.

Naturally, he didn't believe that Su Qingyuan would poison her sister, but——two kinds of poison appeared in a pot of tea at the same time, what's the explanation?

Lu Li felt that Su Qingyuan owed him an explanation.Su Qingyuan felt that her good sister owed her an answer.

The scene was stalemate, and no one knew what to do next.

Finally, Su Qingyuan looked up at Lu Li: "If you have something to do, go and do it first."

Lu Li nodded and stood up, "I'll come and see you at night."

Su Qingyuan didn't respond.

Xiaozhi and Hong'er were still kneeling on the ground.Seeing Lu Li leave, the two of them looked at each other, their expressions were of course not good-looking.

Su Qingyuan kept staring at the pot of tea on the table, so frightened that Luoxia hurriedly ordered someone to take down the teapot and tea bowl and smash it.

As a result, Su Qingyuan's mind became more serious.

Her medicine is gone.

Instead of solving the trouble, it added another one.

Doctor Zhang didn't come over until evening, took out a large bag of herbal medicine from the medicine box, and told the little apprentice to cook it himself, and then came to the hall to give Su Qingluan the injection.

Su Qingyuan watched from the side, feeling very uncomfortable.

Lu Li never came.

After the medicine was ready and fed, Su Qingluan woke up from the pain, hugged her belly and wailed for a while, then gradually calmed down.

The two imperial physicians waited until the second watch, and finally said that their lives were safe, but their bodies would be weaker in the future, and it would take a year and a half to recover.

As usual, Su Qingyuan ordered that no rumors be allowed, so she let the two imperial doctors go back.

Xiaozhi cried and laughed while hugging Su Qingluan, but Hong'er looked at Su Qingyuan suspiciously, and didn't speak again all night.

Lu Li still didn't come.

Su Qingyuan asked someone to close the palace door, moved Su Qingluan to the bed, and slept with her.

The little maids blew out the lights and retreated.

Su Qingyuan couldn't close her eyes anyway.

My heart was in a mess, and the more I thought about it, the more confused I became.

She held Su Qingluan's hand tightly, just like she did when she was a child.

At that time, the two sisters often played together, and slept in the same quilt when they were tired. They were inseparable and inseparable.The nuns who served the two said that although they were not born of the same mother, they were closer than twin sisters in ordinary families.

Then gradually grew up.

She has a wild temperament, and she often has to go to the street with her brothers to play, or sneak out to the teahouse to listen to books, and spends less and less time at home; Qingluan's temperament is still so quiet and cowardly, not only unwilling to accompany She is messing around, but she often advises her to stay quietly at home and learn some needlework female reds, so that she can please her parents-in-law after she gets married in the future.

As a result, conversations became less and less speculative, and the two sisters saw each other less often.

Even so, her heart is still the same as before, she loves this younger sister from the bottom of her heart.

She didn't understand, how could the good-natured sisters who had never had any quarrels change?

In the past two days, Su Qingyuan thought over and over in her heart, and gradually figured out some clues.

If she guessed correctly, it was because of Lu Li, right?

At that time, Lu Li was the only young prince in this dynasty, with a youthful flair and heroic appearance.With such a person and such an identity, it is indeed very easy for a girl in a boudoir to fall in love at first sight.

Throughout the ages, it is not uncommon for sisters to turn against each other because of a man.Qingluan's thoughts are deep, and it is not impossible to go astray for a while.

When Qingluan forged that letter, maybe she didn't feel that she was doing something bad?

As for what happened later, it was beyond her control as a little girl.

Now, Qingluan entered the palace, but failed to accept the favor.She must be unwilling to be a bystander in a place very close to her dream.

So, is that why she poisoned that pot of tea?

But since it was going to be poisoned, why did she drink it first?Framed?perish together?Or do you just want to die in front of her paranoidly?

Su Qingyuan didn't understand.

She was getting more and more confused, and she couldn't even understand what her own sister was thinking.

When all the candles were burned out, the hall suddenly sank into darkness.

Su Qingluan moved her fingers and curled up.

Su Qingyuan immediately turned around and faced her: "Qingluan."

After a while, a thin response finally sounded in the darkness: "Sister?"

Su Qingyuan let go of her hand and gave a low "hmm".

Su Qingluan fell silent again, breathing steadily, as if she had fallen asleep.

After a long time, the two spoke at the same time:

"Where is this?"

"why?"

After Qi Qi was taken aback, the two fell silent at the same time.

In the end, Su Qingyuan explained first: "You are weak, and you dare not move in the cold night, so I will leave you in my room. If you want to go back, I will ask someone to take you in a soft sedan tomorrow morning."

Su Qingluan turned around slowly, and leaned against Su Qingyuan's side: "I don't want to go back... I haven't slept with my sister for many years."

Su Qingyuan frowned and said nothing.

Su Qingluan stretched out her hand and hugged her waist: "Sister, I'm actually afraid of the dark, and I often can't sleep all night... There are strict rules in the palace, and Xiaozhi dare not sleep with me on the bed anymore, I I haven't slept well for a long time..."

"Don't do bad things during the day, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night." Su Qingyuan said plainly.

Su Qingluan quietly moved her hand to Su Qingyuan's stomach, and touched it carefully.

Su Qingyuan was startled, and instinctively curled up, avoiding her hand.

"Sister, I'm sorry..." Su Qingluan suddenly cried.

Su Qingyuan turned over and lay on her back, covering her lower abdomen with her hands, and sneered: "This is strange, what do you have to do to me?"

Su Qingluan sobbed, and leaned over again, grabbing Su Qingyuan's hand: "Sister, I was really obsessed with ghosts at that time! I'm jealous that you are loved by others, I'm jealous that you have children, seeing that you live better than me I'm angry, I don't want to be your child's mother at all! I've been jealous of you since I was a child... Although you don't have a biological mother, you are still a legitimate daughter. I am no different from you in the mansion, but when I leave the mansion, The daughters-in-law of those aristocratic families look down on me... Even the nuns in the mansion often say, 'Our fifth lady lives a life of gold and jade, just like other people's daughters-in-law'... Sister, I and you originally It's no different, why should everyone think that I should be inferior to you just because I am a concubine?"

Su Qingyuan didn't answer her question, nor did she want to.

"Sister," Su Qingluan shook her hand, "I'm really sorry, I'll never hurt you again! It's really hard to do bad things... Maybe you're right, I'm afraid of the dark, I can't sleep , it's all because I have ghosts in my heart..."

Su Qingyuan didn't have anything to say to her, so she remained silent.

Su Qingluan was in a hurry, clutched her hand tightly, and burst into tears: "Sister, I am sincerely sorry! I have died once today, and I understand everything... Can we still be the same as before? ? I will never compete with you again, you still love me as before, okay?"

"Qingluan," Su Qingyuan sighed, "My sister always loves you."

"I know..." Su Qingluan sobbed and snickered silently in the darkness.

"Go to sleep." Su Qingyuan said lightly.

Su Qingluan agreed, but after a while, she asked cautiously: "Sister, why...you want to commit suicide?"

"Suicide? Me?" Su Qingyuan frowned.

Su Qingluan cried: "Although I was in severe pain at that time, I was very clear in my heart. I heard the imperial doctor say that in addition to abortion medicine, there is a kind of poison in the tea... But why did you drink it in the tea? Poisonous? When I came, you were preparing to drink tea——sister, the emperor loves you so much, why can't you think about it?"

Su Qingyuan was stunned for a long time, and instead of answering, she asked: "When you came to hug me, was the abortion drug that was secretly put into the pot?"

Su Qingluan answered "yes" and cried again: "I asked the doctor when I was taking the medicine, and the medicine would only cause pregnancy and not hurt my body, so I drank it with confidence, I didn't expect it to hurt so much ...I think, that is the retribution for my bad deeds! I thought I was going to die, but I never thought that my sister would call the imperial physician to save me..."

"So it's like this... Let me just say, how could you be so stupid to drink the poison yourself." Su Qingyuan sighed, but her tone was flat.

"Sister?" Su Qingluan was confused.

Su Qingyuan let out a low wry smile: "He is really merciless in cutting grass and roots."

"Who is my sister talking about?" Su Qingluan was confused.

Su Qingyuan patted her hand, her tone became much more relaxed: "It's okay. I didn't intend to commit suicide, I just took the wrong medicine."

Su Qingluan was even more confused.

Su Qingyuan thought for a long time, and when she turned her head and saw that her sister was still asleep, she put her arms around her and smiled and said, "Don't think about it. Today's matter, I am sorry for you again. Although you have a little bad intentions, but It didn't hurt me, but inadvertently saved my... two lives."

"Sister," Su Qingluan sat up, "Don't you know it's poison? Is someone trying to harm you? What kind of medicine did you want to drink?"

"I told you not to think about it," Su Qingyuan stretched out her hand and pulled her back, "The imperial doctor said that your body will be weaker in the next six months. If you don't take care of yourself, I won't care about you if you are sick!"

"Sister..." Su Qingluan hesitated to speak.

Su Qingyuan smiled silently, and said in a gentle tone: "Sleep obediently, don't think about anything. We sisters will still have a lot of time to think about it in the future."
