Chapter 554: The Antidote is Prepared
Wei Qing took Tang Li's hand and led her to the bed, let her lie down, and covered her with a blanket.
"Wife, go to sleep." His voice was low and gentle.
As he said this, he closed his eyes.
Wei Qing opened his eyes only after hearing the steady breathing sound beside him.
He stared at his wife.
The moonlight poured in through the window, and his wife's pretty little face looked a little fatter and chubby, which was very cute.
Wei Qing wanted to poke her cheek, but held back.
In the end, he just kissed her on the forehead, lightly, like a goose feather.
He placed his hands lightly on her abdomen, not daring to use any force.
In here is his baby.
The baby is getting bigger.
In a few months, I will be able to come out and meet him?
He imagined what the baby would look like...
Under the moonlight, Wei Qing's lips curled up, his heart was filled with happiness, and he forgot all his worries and pains.
Wei Qing looked at his wife quietly for a while, then got up and quietly walked out of the room.
His gentleness faded and a cold look appeared on his face.
He went to the study.
After entering the study, he closed the door and pressed a button on the wall, and a secret compartment appeared.
There is a lot of information in the secret compartment.
Over the years, he has been secretly searching for evidence that the Wang family, the eldest princess, and the Lu family have jointly framed the Xiao family.
In addition to these, there are also witnesses, and the evidence is almost complete, enough to overturn the verdict.
It has been almost twenty years since the Xiao family incident, and the Xiao family army has been wiped out. The Xiao family seems like a dead tree, disappearing into the past.
However, even old trees have roots, spreading through the dust. There are still some people in the court who do not believe that the Xiao family would collude with the enemy. They are secretly investigating and want to overturn the case for the Xiao family...
Wei Qing is secretly in contact with these people.
Give these evidences to them, and they will hand them over and beg the emperor to re-examine the case of the Xiao family's collaborating with the enemy. Then there is hope that the Xiao family will be cleared of the injustice!
This was Wei Qing’s original plan.
But he kept suppressing it and never implemented it, always feeling that something was wrong.
He just figured it out.
The Wang family framed the Xiao family, perhaps for power. The Xiao family blocked the Wang family's path. Without the Xiao family, the Wang family's daughter would be the imperial concubine, commanding the harem. Without the crown prince, Zhao Shu would have the potential to become the crown prince...
What is the eldest princess's purpose?
What is the Lu family’s purpose?
The Wang family, the eldest princess, and the Lu family jointly framed the Xiao family. Does the person sitting on the throne really not know about it?
The Xiao family's achievements surpass those of their master. What if he condones all this, or even orders it?
If he handed over the evidence, he would be exposing himself and those who were still on the Xiao family's side, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
In the past, we were just afraid of the worst, so we kept it under wraps and didn’t implement it.
But after what happened tonight, he felt it was possible.
Did the emperor really not know that the eldest princess was raising an adopted daughter and consolidating her power? He felt that the emperor's tacit approval was more likely.
The relationship between the eldest princess and the emperor is very good. Perhaps, the eldest princess is a knife in the hands of the emperor...
Thinking of this, Wei Qing felt a chill all over his body.
Wei Qing took a deep breath and closed the door of the secret compartment.
"The first day of the new year." he called out.
The next moment, a tall black figure appeared in the room and knelt in front of Wei Qing.
Chuyi was the leader of the secret guards. Back when he was in Qingzhou, he and Chuyi had trained together and were like brothers.
Later, the third uncle asked Chuyi to follow him, and Chuyi knelt in front of him, respectful and loyal.
From then on, they were master and servant. Wei Qing was their master, and their lives belonged to him.
"Tell those people not to investigate anything related to the Xiao family anymore, not to mention anything related to the Xiao family anymore, and not to have any connection with the Xiao family." Wei Qing said.
I was clearly preparing to report to the emperor about the Xiao family being framed, so why don’t you mention it now?
Chuyi had no doubts about such a big change in attitude.
He just said "yes" and disappeared.
…
Su Taiyuan stayed at home with Madam Su for two days and then returned to the Imperial Hospital.
Since Wang Xiaozhi is not around, no one will bother Su Taiyuan. Su Taiyuan just needs to do his own thing.
He went to the Queen Mother for another acupuncture treatment.
While Su Taiyuan was giving acupuncture, several palace maids stood by.
Nanny Chu didn't even have the chance to ask about the Queen Mother's health.
After Su Taiyuan finished the acupuncture and left, the palace maids also left.
"It hurts." The Queen Mother pointed to the place where she was pricked by the needle and started making a fuss.
Nanny Chu poured a sugar pill from the bottle and handed it to her.
The Queen Mother stopped making a fuss only after she had eaten it.
After he stopped making noise, he began to be dazed again, as if his soul had left his body, like a dry old tree that had lost its vitality.
Nanny Chu's heart suddenly tightened.
She knew the Queen Mother was poisoned, and she wondered if Imperial Physician Su had found an antidote...
For the next ten days, Su Taiyuan stayed in the Imperial Hospital and finally wrote a prescription for detoxification.
After returning home several times, he made the medicine from the prescription into sugar pills and secretly gave them to Nanny Chu to replace the original sugar pills.
Nanny Chu was very happy and gave the new "sugar pill" to the Queen Mother, but after eating it for a while, there was no change in the Queen Mother.
Nanny Chu quietly asked Su Taiyuan, who only said that the Queen Mother had been poisoned for too long and her body was too severely damaged. Although this medicine was an antidote, it was hard to say to what extent the Queen Mother could recover...
Maybe he can recover his original appearance, maybe he can recognize people, maybe he can only recover the mental state of a five or six-year-old child, or maybe, he can only remain like this...
All of this is difficult to determine.
Nanny Chu clasped her hands together, looking pious and pleading in her heart.
Please pray to the Buddha to make the Queen Mother wake up.
…
During this period, Princess Jingshu also came to the Marquis' Mansion several times.
Gu Huaijin was like he had a radar installed. As soon as Princess Jingshu arrived, he would follow.
Tangli was shocked by their coincidence.
At the same time, Tangli also discovered that their relationship was gradually changing.
Just a small thing.
Once, Princess Jingshu stayed in the Marquis's Mansion for lunch, and Gu Huaijin naturally sat down next to the princess.
The princess looked at the dish farthest from her. Although she was straightforward, her upbringing prevented her from standing up to pick up the food.
She wanted to eat it, but after looking at it for a few times, she couldn't pick it up, so she had to give up.
The next moment, the dish was served in front of her.
Jingshu was a little surprised and looked at Gu Huaijin.
"What are you looking at? I want to eat this dish." Gu Huaijin said expressionlessly.
But if you look closely, you can see that his ears are slightly red.
All of this fell into Tangli's eyes.
Her third brother said that he didn't want Princess Jingshu to repeat the fate of her previous life. It was obvious that he had taken a fancy to her.
Only in front of the person you like will you become nervous, clumsy, awkward, and say things that are not in line with your heart.
Today, Princess Jingshu came to the Marquis' Mansion again, saying that she was looking for Tangli, but she couldn't help looking around.
"Third brother originally wanted to come to the Marquis' Mansion to see me today." Tang Li said.
Jingshu uttered an "ah" and seemed uninterested. After a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Then why hasn't he come yet?"
"I heard from the servant that he was sick and couldn't come, so he sent something here."
Is Gu Huaijin sick?
Princess Jingshu stood up suddenly!
"What happened to Ah Zhi?"
"I...I..." Princess Jingshu's eyes wandered around, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Azhi, do you want to go see your third brother?" Tangli asked with a smile.
Who wants to go see Gu Huaijin? !
Princess Jingshu was silent for a moment, then said angrily, "Yes, I'll go and see if he's dead!"
After saying that, he turned and left, but his steps were a little hurried.
Tangli chuckled, what a pair of happy enemies.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was July and the Empress Dowager had been taking medicine for almost a month.
On this day, as usual, Nanny Chu was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard.
When the Queen Mother first came to the Buddhist temple, she was not yet so crazy. Sometimes she was lucid and planted these flowers and plants.
She likes these flowers and plants.
When spring comes and the flowers bloom, the Queen Mother will still shout with joy when she sees them.
Therefore, Nanny Chu has been taking care of these flowers and plants, and they have kept them well. These flowers and plants have brought a bit of life to this cold Buddhist temple.
"Xiao Ayue." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Nanny Chu was stunned.
Little Ayue...
When she started serving the Empress Dowager, she was just over ten years old. At that time, the Empress Dowager had already married.
The Queen Mother was much older than her and thought she was a child, so when she called her name, she always added the word "little" in it.
Nanny Chu almost suspected that she was dreaming. She turned her head suddenly and saw the Queen Mother standing behind her, looking at her.
Her eyes were clear as she looked at herself and called out "Little A Yue" again.
Nanny Chu felt a lump in her throat and tears began to fall.
