Complete Harem Raiders

Chapter 49

On the second day, Gu Jingchan took Ru Cao to pay her respects to the Queen. After some pleasantries, the Queen waved away all the concubines. Naturally, Gu Jingchan would not have followed her, otherwise Ru Cao would have no reason to stay. .Seeing that Gu Jingchan stayed there unmoved, the concubines also had doubts in their hearts, but they didn't care. After all, the seniors also knew the connection between the queen's family and their Gu family.

He brought Gu Jingchan and Ru Cao to the apse again, this time he didn't stay in the hall much, but Rou Meihong led them all the way into the inner bedroom.

Although there were all kinds of doubts in her heart, Gu Jingchan still didn't open her mouth. The queen led her in, and she didn't know what problems were waiting ahead. There was no need to bother about such a trivial matter now.

In the bedroom, the Queen turned around and glanced at the crowd, then said in a deep voice, "Everyone go back. It's enough to have Meihong and Rucao here to serve you."

Hearing what the queen said, all the slaves withdrew their gifts and withdrew without saying anything.Biqin glanced at Gu Jingchan, saw her nodding, and followed the crowd to leave, but before going out, she glanced at her master, with all kinds of worries in her heart.

Biqin was worried about what the queen would do to Gu Jingchan.But Gu Jingchan herself is not worried.If the queen didn't have to go to such lengths to calculate herself, it would be easy for her to crush a Shuyuan to death, so Gu Jingchan wasn't worried.

After everyone retreated, the queen let out a long sigh, and her face became sad.She glanced at Gu Jingchan and shook her head lightly, "Chan'er... But there is trouble."

trouble?Gu Jingchan raised her eyebrows, what trouble could the queen have?She had doubts in her heart, so she didn't bother to think about it, she looked at the queen with doubtful eyes, and asked softly: "What trouble can make you so worried?"

"Hey... I didn't want to talk to you at first. But... to save you from asking Ru Cao later, I want you to come with me. After all, you are Ru Cao's master." The queen's tone was indeed full of sadness, and again Shaking her head, she led Gu Jingchan into the bedroom, and signaled Meihong to open the curtain on the bed.

Originally, the bed was covered by a curtain, but Gu Jingchan didn't realize that it was someone else's bedroom.But when the curtain of the bed was pulled back, there was a little girl lying on the bed, with a magpie on a plum tree at the corner of her right eye brow, it was the third princess Jinxin.I saw Jinxin's complexion was pale, her lips were purple, and her eyes were dark, she looked sick and crooked.

Jinxin is fairly healthy. When she was in Qihuadian, Miao Zhaoyi seldom brought her two daughters to pay her respects because they were relatively young.After Miao Zhaoyi made a mistake, Chu Mingyou gave the two princesses to the queen to raise, and only then did they meet more often.According to previous impressions, Jinxin is in good health, a very lively little girl, how could she suddenly become ill like this?

With thousands of doubts, Gu Jingchan raised her head and glanced at the queen.For a second, she thought it was the empress who killed her, but when she thought about it, she felt something was wrong.It shouldn't be the queen, if it was her, she would definitely hide it and wouldn't move half a finger to these two daughters, so why would she murder them?Moreover, they are now raised under the name of the queen, called the queen mother, the queen who has never had children, it is impossible to lay hands on these two children... Then, who will it be!

Gu Jingchan's glance just now made the queen feel a little heartbroken.She could see that Gu Jingchan's eyes were doubtful. Although Gu Jingchan quickly covered it up, she was still seen by the queen.The queen has always been close to Gu Jingchan, she felt a little sad seeing Gu Jingchan like this, but she was still worried after all.If Gu Jingchan, who is her relative, doesn't believe her words, then if Jinxin has any problems, she must not be able to escape the guilt.

Seeing that the queen was a little disappointed, Gu Jingchan knew that she probably saw her questioning expression, and she also felt embarrassed.He could only smile guiltily, then held the queen's hand and said, "Cousin, I believe you, Xin'er's poisoning has nothing to do with you."

After hearing Gu Jingchan's words, the Queen suddenly raised her head, then nodded in relief and said, "With your words, I am relieved. I am afraid that you will misunderstand me, so I dare not tell you. You. But I am worried that if you get the news from Ru Cao, you will probably think more, so I ask you to come in together. But... if Xiner really has something to do, you also... . . . "

Gu Jingchan took a look at Jinxin's face, the little girl's face was pale and her lips were purple, Gu Jingchan sensed that something was wrong.Although she doesn't understand medical theory, she has read her brother's medical books in modern times. The book said that the internal organs of the human body are reflected on the face. Looking at Jin Xin's complexion, could it be that there is something wrong with the heart and lungs?She didn't know much, so she glanced at the queen and asked, "Have you taught Jinxin the imperial doctor?"

"I called the imperial doctor to see it. Originally, Xin'er just had a cough a few days ago, but after a few days she said that she had chest tightness, so I felt something was wrong. I called the imperial doctor to see it, but the imperial doctor said that it was Xiao Fenghan. It's not too much of a problem, so I just kept boiling the medicine and raised it slowly. But since the night before, she has been falling asleep and can't wake up. I invited the imperial doctor in my palace to see her. She said that the princess doesn't have a fever, but But she has always been groggy, lacking energy, and can't detect anything wrong." The queen sighed, with a bit of sadness in her eyes, one of the two good princesses fell ill in her hands, if the publicity spread , I am definitely not going to get a good reputation as a queen.

Gu Jingchan fell silent after hearing what the queen said, she didn't understand these things, and she couldn't help much.She raised her head and glanced at Ru Cao, but saw Ru Cao frowning tightly, she couldn't help feeling extremely worried and hurriedly asked: "Ru Cao, do you see any problems?"

Ru Cao stepped forward, looked down at Jin Xin's face, looked at Jin Xin's appearance, saw her breathing with difficulty with her mouth open, Ru Cao's face changed.Then he suddenly raised his head and said to the two of them: "Maidservant, can I check the pulse of the little princess?"

Seeing Ru Cao's slightly changed face, Gu Jingchan was a little panicked, she glanced at the queen, and said directly, "Hurry up and get your pulse."

Ru Cao nodded obediently, knelt down in front of Jinxuan's bed, and took Jinxuan's pulse. After a while, she stood up and said, "Master, empress...princess..."

"How is Jinxuan?" Seeing Ru Cao get up, the queen asked hurriedly.She really cared about Jinxuan, but she didn't want Jinxuan to have any problems. First, she felt sorry for her, and second, this daughter was raised by her. If something happened to her, she, the queen, would be blamed.

A sneer flashed at the corner of Rucao's mouth and said: "Master, empress, the little princess is not sick, but poisoned."

Poisoned?Gu Jingchan frowned, how could she be poisoned in the queen's palace?She believes that the queen must be very good, and the people who protect the princess must be the most powerful, and they will definitely be her confidants, but who would poison the princess?
"Jinxuan was poisoned? Why didn't the imperial doctor notice it?" The queen was very puzzled. The imperial doctor in her palace was a student of her grandfather and was very close to her family. Otherwise, the queen would not be able to entrust her health to Han. imperial physician.This Han Qi's medical skills are very good, it is impossible not to notice that the princess has this problem.

Rucao laughed, but her face was extremely cold, her eyes were cold and she said: "Empress Empress, your exclusive imperial doctor is Mr. Han. Mr. Han matured early in his youth. He entered the palace as a medical officer at the age of 17. Naturally I don’t know the drugs that have been circulating in the world in recent years.”

Ru Cao's words made Gu Jingchan and the Queen keep silent at the same time. Han Qi didn't know about this kind of thing, so how could Ru Cao know about it?Also because Ru Cao was her servant, Gu Jingchan raised her eyes to look at Ru Cao, motioning her to continue.

I was worried that the two of them would doubt their own ruthlessness, but when they saw the eyes of their master, they were relieved, and simply explained: "The servant's family runs a medical clinic, so since childhood, he has been mixed with various medicines. .Grandfather once traveled to various countries in order to expand the knowledge of pharmacology and seek better medicinal materials. Traveling to Nanli country, he found that azalea can be used as medicine, but...it is poisonous."

"Azalea? Rhododendron?" The queen suddenly raised her head and asked.

Rucao nodded lightly and said: "Yes, empress. This azalea is poisonous, and we Daqiguo people don't know much about it. The slaves only know this because their grandfather has traveled to foreign domains. The Azalea's Toxic, it will damage the human respiratory organs, and it is easy to cause heart rhythm disorder. The pulse of the princess is exactly like this."

After saying these words, Ru Cao was actually a little timid.After all, when she said this, it meant that there were not too many people to attack.If the queen doubts herself, then she will have to suffer from the dumbness.It doesn't matter if you suspect her, but if you implicate the master...it's hard to explain yourself to His Majesty.

After hearing Ru Cao's words, the queen's eyes became a little dark.She looked at Ru Cao with cold eyes and lowered her voice, "Is what you said just now true?"

"Reporting to your empress, this servant is telling the truth. If there is even a little bit of lies, this servant is willing to suffer the pain of five horses." Ru Cao looked at the Queen's eyes, she suddenly felt a little scared, and immediately knelt on the ground and swore.

The queen still had a cold face, lowered her voice and said: "Is there still salvation?"

"The princess has just been poisoned. Fortunately, it is not deep. It seems that the person who poisoned the princess did not want the princess to die of illness so soon. The poison should not be too much. The empress should pay more attention to it. It is best to invite Master Han to come for the little princess. Acupuncture to detoxify." Ru Cao knelt on the ground and her mind was a little confused, she told herself to be calm and not mess up, she didn't do anything, don't worry.

Seeing Ru Cao like this, the queen nodded slightly, and asked Meihong to call Han Qi.He leaned against the bed and rubbed his sore forehead.She naturally knew that this matter would not be done by Rucao, because Gu Jingchan and herself have no grudges, and they are on the same line, and they are both prosperous, so she will not be so stupid as to frame herself, let alone condone others. Own.Then...someone reached out to Fengyi Palace...

Thinking of this, the queen sneered, it seemed that she was too merciful in front of her.She has to find out about this matter.

Gu Jingchan sat calmly on the side, quietly thinking about what Ru Cao said just now.There are only two possibilities for this incident. The first one is that Jinxin was poisoned in Fengyi Palace, and then there is a nail in the Queen's Palace. Whoever has the ability to bury this nail is the most suspicious .The second is the poison outside Fengyi Palace, so...there are only a few people who can get in touch with Jinxin and the two...so...you will know this kind of thing after you try it out.

Glancing at the queen, she opened her lips and smiled and said, "Cousin, Chan'er has a trick to protect my sister from being the black hand..."
