Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 71 Musk checks the dowry (2)
These people are really stupid, just take it away, just want to show it off.Do you really think she is the old Ling Xihan who couldn't fight back when hit or scolded?
But having said that, judging from Zisu's actions today, he is not such a mindless person.Then who is secretly fueling the flames?Lan's?princess?or someone else?The dowry left to her by her mother was previously placed in the big treasury, and the key to the big treasury was in charge of the princess as the mistress of the house.So that is to say.The only person who can move her mother's dowry is the princess.But judging from the deep scheming of the princess, it would never be so obvious.Did she do it on purpose?
She squinted her eyes, but after a while, she figured out the twists and turns.Can't help but sneer, the princess really knows how to calculate.

After lunch, Ruoyu brought over the booklet recording Princess Ping's dowry.Ling Xihan looked through it carefully, and then opened the warehouse with the key.Half an hour later, Ling Xihan came out with a sullen face, with a hint of sternness hanging from the corner of his mouth.

The next day, after lunch, Ling Xihan took Ruoyu and Ruoxue to stroll around the garden of the palace twice, admiring the scenery of the palace along the way.Not long after he came out, he heard the voice of a maid over there.

"Doctor Jia, I have really troubled you during this time."

Ling Xihan raised her eyes and looked over, and saw a maidservant wearing a lake-blue cross-collar gown and a lake-blue eight-piece skirt talking to an old man carrying a medicine box, her face full of gratitude.This maid Ling Xihan knew, she was Ling Xiyun's personal maid Tianhe.

She squinted her eyes. The last time Ling Xiyun framed her, she was injured by her father. After Mrs. Zhang invited a doctor to look at it, the medicine did not seem to have any effect.Later, the concubine took the post and asked people to enter the palace to invite the imperial physician to treat her.I have to say that the medical skills of the imperial physicians in this imperial hospital are really not covered.In just five days, Ling Xiyun's injury has improved greatly, and now he is able to go to the ground, and it is estimated that he will recover within two days.

Imperial Physician Jia nodded to Tian He, "Miss, you are welcome."

Tianhe smiled and said, "Maidservant will send you out."

"No..." Physician Jia was about to refuse, but out of the corner of his vision, he caught sight of Ling Xihan walking over, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.Who is this girl?Judging by her attire, she should be a young lady from the palace.This appearance and demeanor were exceptionally good, which surprised him a little.I heard that the seven daughters of King Zhongyi are all as beautiful as flowers, and the second lady is the most beautiful woman in the capital.But he had seen Second Miss before, and the appearance of this young lady was even better than Second Miss.

Who is she?
Grand Physician Jia squinted his eyes, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, could it be——

"My maidservant has seen Miss San." Next to her, Tian He saw Ling Xihan and hurriedly bowed her body.It also proved Jia Taiyi's conjecture.He quickly cupped his hands and bowed, "See Princess Changle."

"The imperial physician doesn't need to be polite." Ling Xihan glanced at Tianhe lightly, and said with a gentle expression: "Emperor Jia, how is my fifth sister's injury?"

"Miss Fifth's injury is not serious, and she only needs to rest for a few days to recover." Imperial Physician Jia replied respectfully.The girl in front of him is a celebrity in front of the empress, he dare not be careless.

Ling Xihan nodded, "That's fine." She turned slightly sideways, "The imperial doctor walks slowly."

Grand Physician Jia bowed again, and when he passed by, a burst of fragrance wafted into his nose, he paused slightly, frowning and regained his senses.

"What's the matter, Doctor Jia?"

Imperial Physician Jia sniffed the smell carefully, and asked, "Does the princess wear a sachet?"

Over there, Tian He, who had just resigned, also stopped when he heard the words, and looked at Doctor Jia and Ling Xihan suspiciously.

"Sachet?" Ling Xihan looked a little surprised, and then said with a smile: "Could it be that the imperial doctor smelled it wrong, I never like wearing sachets."

Doctor Jia frowned even deeper, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the purse on Ruo Xue's waist, her eyes lit up.

"Girl, can you lend me your purse?"

Ruoxue looked at the purse on her waist, frowned, and her questioning eyes fell on Ling Xihan.

Ling Xihan frowned and asked Imperial Physician Jia, "Doctor Jia, is there something wrong with this purse?"

Doctor Jia's face was solemn, "I have to check to be sure." I hope it's not what he guessed in his heart.

"Ruoxue." Ling Xihan's expression darkened, and after giving an order, Ruoxue immediately untied her purse and handed it to Doctor Jia.

"Doctor Jia, it's all for you to check, don't damage it." Ruoxue's nervous expression made Doctor Jia stare even more.He took the purse, opened it without saying a word, poured out the petals inside, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, his face immediately changed.He asked Ruoxue anxiously, "Where did this purse come from?"

Ruoxue was taken aback by his serious face, "There is... really something wrong with this purse? How...how is it possible?" Her face was startled, and fear and disbelief appeared in her eyes, and she trembled all over.Ruoyu beside her frowned, "Doctor, what's wrong with this purse?"

"This..." Grand Physician Jia was in trouble, but he also knew that there were many dirty things in the big family.Many mistresses or concubines of aristocratic families would use these methods, but he did not expect that those women's methods would be so ruthless, even a 16-year-old girl would not be spared.If this purse is worn on Miss San, then the consequences——

If the empress knew about this matter... By the way, how could he have forgotten that the girl in front of him was the empress's favorite.If he conceals what happened today and doesn't report it, and if the empress finds out someday, then he won't want this head anymore.

Once he figured out all the key points, Imperial Physician Jia didn’t hesitate anymore, and immediately said: “There are petals of oleander in it. The stems, leaves, and flowers of oleander are poisonous, and the milky white juice it secretes contains a substance called oleander. The poisonous substance of peach glycosides can be poisoned if eaten by mistake. If it is eaten by mistake, it will cause headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, delirium, and even sweating, arrhythmia, and even death from shock. And these petals are mixed with It is mixed with a small amount of musk. It is not suitable for women to use musk, as it will cause infertility if used for a long time. Mixing it with oleander is even more poisonous."

After Jia Taiyi's words fell, the complexions of several women present changed drastically.Tianhe's face turned pale with fright, and she almost fainted.And Ruoyu and Ruoxue were even more horrified, they quickly took a step back, pointed tremblingly at the dried petals in the hands of the imperial physician, and stammered, "How... how?"

Ruoyu looked up at Ling Xihan suddenly as if thinking of something.

"Miss, this purse was given to you by Aunt Zi, this..." She suddenly fell silent, her face pale as paper.Tianhe's body trembled when he heard this, and he lowered his head and did not speak.Doctor Jia was also taken aback. Although he had guessed this point a long time ago, he still couldn't stop being frightened.Looking at Ling Xihan, he couldn't help but feel more pity and sympathy.It's pitiful, born in such a big family, and my mother died, and I have no one to rely on.The daughter of the dignified royal family was actually persecuted to such an extent by the concubine.It seems that this matter has to be reported to the empress, and according to the empress' love for the third lady, she will definitely make the decision for the third lady.
