A grand wedding banquet eventually turned into a trial.
In the end, it turned out that even the bride was not the real owner, and the real owner had already been killed.
Such a result is hard for anyone to accept.
For the first time, a cold and hard expression appeared on Lu Bingqian's usually gentle face.
The people looked at him with some pity and some watching the fun, but he seemed to be blind to it.
After Lu Bingqian sent all the guests away, he locked himself up.
Su Lijin looked at Lu Bingqian like this and sighed in her heart. She wanted to say something, but felt that she couldn't say anything.
Xiao Shengxing patted her shoulder and said, "Let him calm down first. After all, not everyone can accept these things easily."
Nodding, Su Lijin glanced at the closed door and did not disturb her.
Du Xi came to the door with a box in her hand containing all the letters.
That was something Cai'er had carefully kept during her lifetime, and after her death, Du Xi kept it for her.
She knocked on the door, but there was no response.
"Doctor Lu, I brought the letter Cai'er sent you."
The person inside seemed to move, but never opened the door.
With a wry smile, Du Xi's voice was filled with deep regret: "I'm sorry, Doctor Lu, I should have told you earlier."
She put the letter box on the ground and said, "I put the letter on the ground. I'm leaving."
Du Xi resolutely left Lu Bingqian's mansion and stared at the sky in a daze for a while.
"Well, I'd better continue to be a thespian." After saying that, she took a step and returned to where she had been.
On the carriage back to the palace, Su Lijin and Xiao Shengxing still sat together.
Xiao Shengxing looked at her and suddenly said, "The Queen directly completed the investigation of the case today and closed it in front of me. She is truly amazing. She can now make decisions without me even thinking about it."
"Queen, tell me, should I reward you?"
There was a smile on his thin lips when he said this.
But when Su Lijin heard it, it was like a thunderclap, and she immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Su Lijin quickly said, "I dare not. I dare not ask for a reward."
She suppressed her pounding heart, raised her hands and said, "I do all this for the Emperor, I do it for the Emperor. I just want to share His Majesty's worries!"
"Oh? Really?" Xiao Shengxing still had a smile on his lips.
But Su Lijin didn't dare to treat it carelessly. She smiled bitterly in her heart. She had finally done a good thing, but she didn't expect that there was still suspicion of exceeding her authority. It was really hard to be a good person.
Although I thought about it in my heart, I didn't dare to stop arguing with myself.
"Yes, I have always known that the Emperor wants to rectify the government. I was the first to learn about those filthy crimes that disrupt the government, and I immediately wanted to help the Emperor!"
As she spoke, a look of apology appeared on her face: "I was just anxious at the moment. Next time, I will definitely report it to the emperor first. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
She said these words with full sincerity, without a trace of falsehood on her face.
Xiao Shengxing looked at him, and the smile on his lips deepened a little.
He was just talking casually, but when he heard Su Lijin's repeated assurances and expressions of loyalty, he felt very amused.
Xiao Shengxing nodded, completely convinced, and said, "I believe the Queen has a pure heart. I don't blame you, Queen, so there's no need to blame yourself."
Hearing this, Su Lijin finally felt relieved.
She breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be relaxed, "I thought that Your Majesty was busy with state affairs and was very tired, so I learned a pastry and wanted to make it for Your Majesty to try."
Xiao Shengxing saw through her attempt to change the subject. A smile lingered in his dark eyes, but he didn't expose her. He smiled and said, "The Queen is so thoughtful. I will definitely give it a try."
…
Two days later, Su Lijin saw Lu Bingqian again.
She was still dressed as a eunuch and sat opposite Lu Bingqian.
Today, she received the news that Lu Bingqian had returned to the Imperial Hospital, and she rushed over immediately.
Lu Bingqian looked much thinner, and his jawline on his already handsome face became even more prominent.
He looked the same as usual, looking at the medical book in his hand, as if nothing in the world could disturb him.
Su Lijin coughed lightly and said, "Teacher, do you still want to start learning today?"
She really wanted to say that if Lu Bingqian was not convenient, she would wait a little longer.
Putting the medical book down, Lu Bingqian shook his head: "Studying medicine cannot be neglected, continue today."
Having already finished studying the basic medical books, Lu Bingqian took two new ones this time.
Even though she had only learned the basics, Su Lijin could tell that these two books were more profound than the previous ones.
For many people, learning medicine is as boring as attending a private school.
But Su Lijin studied very seriously, and the excitement in her eyes revealed that she really liked this knowledge.
Lu Bingqian glanced at her, then turned the page and continued explaining.
Occasionally, the two would have some questions and answers. As Su Lijin answered so many times, she began to feel a little thirsty.
"Sir, wait a minute, I'll have a drink of water first."
She casually picked up the kettle on the table, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.
Just as she was about to put down the cup, her expression suddenly changed, and the cup fell to the ground with a "bang" and broke into pieces!
She clutched her chest, her lips turning purple as she said in great pain, "The water is poisonous..."
Before he could finish his words, he fainted.
"My Lady, what's wrong with you?!"
Lu Bingqian was shocked, but Su Lijin had already fainted.
He immediately took her pulse, glanced at her purple lips, and pursed them tightly: "The poison took effect too quickly."
He quickly took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured out an antidote pill from it, pressed open Su Lijin's lips, and fed it into her mouth.
Time passed minute by minute, but Su Lijin showed no sign of waking up.
Not only that, as time passed, Su Lijin's purple lips became darker and darker, and finally turned almost purple-black.
It seems that the detoxification pills have no effect on it.
Lu Bingqian frowned and thought for a while. He reached out and took out a deep red porcelain bottle from his arms. The porcelain bottle was different from ordinary white medicine bottles. One could feel the preciousness of the medicine inside at a glance.
After opening the porcelain bottle, Lu Bingqian looked at Su Lijin who was still unconscious and poured out the pills.
The pill was a size larger than ordinary pills. It was the Baihua Pill that Lu Bingqian treasured.
After the Baihua Pills were fed to her, Su Lijin slowly woke up within half an hour.
She looked around in a daze, and suddenly realized that she had been poisoned, and she couldn't help but get nervous.
"The Queen is awake?" Lu Bingqian's voice came from not far away.
At this time, Lu Bingqian was questioning the servants around him to investigate who poisoned the water.
Su Lijin stood up from the recliner, her face a little pale, but she was fully awake.
She bowed and said, "Thank you, Doctor Lu, for saving me."
She was very grateful that the highly skilled doctor Lu Bingqian was here, otherwise it would be hard to say whether she could wake up.
