Secret Agent: The Devil's Favorite Wife

Chapter 152 Strange Disease
At this time, Concubine Xiang suddenly called out, and then Concubine Xiang's eyes were on Que Ruoyu.She tightly pulled the emperor's skirt, and said seriously, "Your Majesty, do you want to let Miss Que come over and have a try? Last time, Miss Que took care of the servant's condition."
At this moment, Concubine Xiang's face was pale, and she looked really scary.Her red lips, which were originally vermilion, also turned into a somewhat off-white red at this moment.Seeing Zuo Xiangying like this, Que Ruoyu felt a little puzzled.In any case, Concubine Xiang is also a talented woman, and she has always been very researched in the use of poison.But this time, why is her condition so serious?

She is a person who uses poison, and she has already produced antibodies in her body.It was precisely because of this that ordinary poisons had no effect on her at all.In addition, even if someone really didn't know how to poison her.So, according to her such a bright mind, how could she not know?If she was really poisoned, did she do it voluntarily?
She voluntarily wants to be poisoned?After Que Ruoyu came to this conjecture, she was secretly surprised for a while.If this is the case, what exactly is Zuo Xiangying thinking?She looked up, and there was no trace of blood on the woman's calm face.It seemed that she really planned to use her body to fight recklessly this time.

With the emperor's nod, Que Ruoyu came to Zuo Xiangying's side.She lowered her head and whispered, "Concubine Xiang, this servant only knows a little bit of medical skills. The last time I prescribed medicine for you, I put all my heart in her throat, so this time, this servant may be ..." before the word "no" came out of Que Ruoyu's mouth,

Concubine Xiang smiled haggardly, "Miss Que, don't refuse. Last time, I had a small cold, but there were only a few people who helped me, and the small cold dragged on for a long time. Time will get better." She said softly, her big bright eyes were full of sadness.Seeing her like this, the emperor felt even more sad.

He gently took Zuo Xiangying's hand, and said sadly, "My concubine, I made you suffer." He looked at those kneeling people angrily, "You are so courageous, the concubine Xiang is just A cold, fever, headache, you all say there is nothing you can do?"
Concubine Xiang's words just now were indeed very meaningful. Firstly, she showed the emperor that her life in the palace was really miserable.Secondly, she revealed a message to the emperor, someone saw that she was so popular, so she must be doing something to suppress her behind the scenes.And this time, her illness is also inseparable from those people.In this way, she especially hoped that the emperor would suspiciously investigate this matter.If the emperor is really willing to investigate, then the queen who harmed her must have nowhere to hide.

"The emperor calm down." Concubine Xiang said weakly. "Chen Qie feels very uncomfortable right now. If it is possible, Chen Qie hopes that Miss Que can give Chen Qie a diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible."
Her voice was low, as light as a feather.Although the emperor is a man over fifty years old, seeing Zuo Xiangying like this is still very painful.The woman next to him was like Concubine Xi back then, she needed to be cherished.If she left him, she might be framed by someone next time and lose her life.

The emperor felt very heartbroken when he thought of this, and he kept Zuo Xiangying tightly.In the end, he could only place all his hopes on Que Ruoyu. "Okay, you can treat the concubine Xiang. If you cure my beloved concubine, you will be rewarded a lot."
Que Ruoyu bowed his head, "The servant knows."
She pretended to feel the pulse in the hands of the concubine Xiang, but in fact she didn't know what to do next.Moreover, her way of taking the pulse was completely wrong.Fortunately, those old imperial physicians all lowered their heads at this moment, not daring to vent their anger, otherwise, she, a fake imperial physician, might be exposed.

Up to now, Que Ruoyu still doesn't know what kind of medicine Xiangfei is buying in her bones?She frowned, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. After a while, she lowered her head and knelt down in front of the emperor.

The emperor was startled, and what he was thinking about was that Que Ruoyu might not be able to treat his concubine well.Anger immediately filled his cheeks.

"Reporting to the emperor, the concubine Xiang's condition requires a full-body examination. Just now, the maidservant simply looked at the pulse of the concubine Xiang, and found that the pulse condition of the concubine Xiang was very disordered. Moreover, the empress was short of breath during the time when the maidservant took the pulse. The pulse is beating very fast, which is very bad information."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately panicked. "Then why do you want to check Aifei's body?" The emperor asked with some panic, with a look of surprise on his face.You know, seeing a doctor has nothing to do with checking your body.Unless, Concubine Xiang suffered a skin trauma.However, looking at the situation, it is obvious not.

Que Ruoyu's expression was unusually serious, just to create a sense of fear for the emperor.

Her serious expression made the emperor's beloved concubine believe in her next method.

"Okay, this matter will be done according to your method! As long as Concubine Xiang's condition can be improved, you can diagnose and treat as you want. However, you must be careful. If Concubine Xiang has any problems, I will definitely I won't go around you!" At the end of the words, the emperor's tone became cold.

Que Ruoyu nodded.Then, all the people in the bedroom were moved outside.Even the emperor's golden body followed out.After she left, Que Ruoyu's expression changed.

"Zuo Xiangying, what's going on here? Is your poisoning syndrome fake?" She raised her head slightly and asked seriously.

Zuo Xiangying smiled softly, her pale face immediately turned red. "I found something that is very beneficial to us. Concubine Xi was poisoned to death by Concubine Qing! I checked the poison of Concubine Xi and it was like this. After a while, you will The emperor mentioned this matter. Besides, I told Xing'er to invite Concubine Qing to come here at this time. It won't be long before the show will start."
"Zuo Xiangying, are you sure that Concubine Qing did that? If it is true, Concubine Qing can be regarded as falling into our hands this time. If not, we will be turned by Concubine Qing. Then it will be worth the loss."
Zuo Xiangying smiled softly, "Then, this matter requires you to investigate more."
Hearing what Zuo Xiangying said, Que Ruoyu suddenly remembered what he heard in the back garden that day.Originally, she just thought it was two people chewing their tongues together, but she never thought that such a thing really happened.

……

That day Que Ruoyu was strolling in the garden, looking at the newly blooming peonies, wanting to relax, but ran into two little maids.

At that time, Que Ruoyu was walking on one side of the rockery, but he heard voices coming from the other side. Originally, Que Ruoyu wanted to pretend that nothing had happened and left. Overhearing other people's conversations was really not a glorious thing.

But he overheard a few words: "Concubine Xi" and "Murder", so Que Ruoyu had to stop and listen carefully.

"Do you know that the matter of Concubine Xi had something to do with Concubine Qing."

Another voice said: "Really, don't lie to me."

"That's not true. I heard Xiaocui tell me with my own ears. She was working in Concubine Xi's room at the time, so she knew some inside information."

"No, Concubine Qing is actually such a person."

"Who can tell clearly about the affairs in the palace. Those noble concubines and the like don't have any means. They fight openly and secretly, and they don't know how many innocent lives have been ruined."

Hearing this, Que Ruoyu turned around and left, feeling as if there was a huge wave in his heart. Concubine Xi was seriously ill back then, and it seemed to be an opportunity for many caring people to take advantage of.

Now it seems that there is still a need to investigate Concubine Qing carefully.

With this in mind, Que Ruoyu walked out of the back garden. Now, if he wants to get some inside information, he must use some unusual means.

It is very difficult to investigate the old affairs in the palace, especially this kind of shady matter. Generally, those who know the inside story are silenced, and only that person may know something.

Zuo Xiangying gently pushed her hand, "What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"
Que Ruoyu was taken aback, "You told the emperor later that you need to lie down quietly for a while because of your illness, but now I suddenly remembered an important matter that needs to be done immediately."
……

Que Ruoyu went out of the palace overnight, took a carriage to Shibalipu, thirty miles away, there was an old nanny who had served in the palace for many years, it is said that she entered the palace at the age of six and had been a palace maid. In an assassination incident, the emperor rewarded her with a hundred taels of silver, seeing that she was old, and allowed her to leave the palace to spend her old age. This nun has been in the palace for a long time, so she may know something inside .

After getting off the carriage, it was already late at night, there were no pedestrians on the street, only the candles in the rooms were still flickering.

Under the guidance of her father-in-law, Que Ruoyu found the residence where the old nanny was. The father-in-law went to call the door, and an old voice came from the house: "Ahem, who is it, ahem."

Just as he was talking, there was a "squeak", the door opened, and in front of him was a wrinkled face, holding a lantern in his hand, the candle flame flickered very violently, as if the old woman's unfinished life in front of her , I don't know when it will go out.

"Is it Granny Xue?" the father-in-law asked.

"It's the old man. I don't know the two nobles are here. Cough cough, what can I do with the old man?" The old woman kept coughing, but without a single cough, the candle in her hand seemed to be even weaker.
