Chapter 55 Chapter 55 If she really sent the medicine to...
He reached out and forcibly pulled away the small piece of fabric between her chest and knees.
Lingchuan quickly got under the quilt and cursed with a red face:
"Gu Shi, you bastard, give it back to me quickly."
"If you help me, I'll pay you back."
It was really hot to cover himself with a blanket in this season. Lingchuan felt a little sweaty on his back and felt uncomfortable.
He pinched her chin, frowned and complained:
"You've committed a capital crime, yet I'm only asking this of you. Is that excessive?"
Lingchuan felt a chill in his heart.
What she had committed was indeed a serious capital crime, even worse than Gu Shi knew.
Indeed, compared with what she had done, Gu Shi’s request was nothing, not to mention that she still didn’t know the whereabouts of the fake death drug.
Out of rational considerations, she should agree to him and obey him now.
Lingchuan was silent for a while and then crawled into the quilt.
After only a short while, Gu Shi blushed and reached out to push her away.
"Let's just forget it..."
Although he said this, he still moved uncontrollably.
Lingchuan suddenly started coughing and jumped away reflexively.
She put on a thin coat, got out of bed and got some tea to rinse her mouth.
Although she was somewhat resistant psychologically, it wasn't that difficult...
My throat felt sore and I couldn't control myself from choking and kept coughing.
She turned around and looked at Gu Shi, and they both looked away awkwardly.
"Lingchuan, you should go to sleep..."
Gu Shi put on his clothes and hurried to the bathroom.
Lingchuan lay on the bed and rolled his eyes.
Anyway, her attitude is clear, but it's a pity that she's lacking in ability, and there's nothing we can do about it.
She thought that her mouth was indeed a little smaller, and it was Gu Shi's fault for being too naughty, so the pain was her own fault.
After being tormented by him like this, she was tired and fell asleep in a daze, no longer worrying about the fake death drug.
The next day, Lingchuan woke up earlier than Gu Shi and stared at him like a leopard.
As soon as he woke up, he met Lingchuan's eyes and was startled.
"Lingchuan, why are you looking at me?"
"I didn't mean to bite you last night."
After saying this, Lingchuan's face slowly turned red.
Gu Shi kissed her directly.
"Okay, I know."
"Um."
She collapsed on the bed, watching Gu Shi's back as he dressed himself and prepared to go to court.
She had to find out secretly... If the matter of the fake death drug was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it would not be so easy to coax Gu Shi.
Now she can only ask Jinzhan for help, she is the most reliable at this time.
Lingchuan only wore a simple dress and pushed open the door. Jinzhan was sitting on the stone block again, hugging the cat, basking in the sun, looking comfortable and leisurely.
"Have you ever tidied my dressing table?"
Lingchuan asked.
"What? Is something missing?"
Jinzhan yawned and replied nonchalantly.
"I'm asking you, has anyone ever cleaned it up?"
"There should be some. Qingye, Qiulin, and Hongmei, the three palace maids, may have dealt with them."
Lingchuan frowned and lowered her head. She couldn't ask in a loud manner.
She turned around and grabbed a strange little palace maid.
The little palace maid was startled. She looked up and saw that she was not wearing a palace maid's style dress, so she quickly bowed.
"I've been feeling a little unwell lately. I'd like to see a doctor and get some medicine. Please take me to the Imperial Hospital."
Lingchuan thought, if it were Jinzhan or Qingye, they would probably just call a female doctor. Jinzhan was too lazy to move her butt, and Qingye was overly cautious and wouldn't agree to let her walk such a long distance.
The strange little palace maid was not yet familiar with the rules of Congcui Palace, so she just obediently took her into the Imperial Hospital.
"Mother...Mother, this is the Imperial Hospital."
Lingchuan walked straight in. There were several male doctors inside, and they all knelt down.
"Your Highness, according to the rules, you cannot see men like us. Please send a palace maid to call the female doctor to the palace..."
"What are you doing now? Are you busy?"
Lingchuan deliberately ignored the words of the imperial physician and acted like a master inspecting the place.
"Your Majesty is in good health. We are currently only researching pharmacology."
"What kind of medicine are you studying?"
Lingchuan was so anxious that he couldn't help but let the cat out of the bag.
She saw that the imperial physician had several pills in his hand, and each pill looked almost identical. She had no knowledge of pharmacology and could not tell them apart.
Could it be that the fake death pill she lost was mixed in with these pills?
"Well...we have all kinds of medicine here...I'm afraid it's a bit complicated to explain...please go find a female doctor."
"Where is the female doctor? Now that I'm here, I'll go get her some medicine."
"It's on the east side of the Imperial Hospital."
A guard showed Lingchuan and the little palace maid the way. Lingchuan was panic-stricken and tried her best to compare the pills in the imperial physician's hand with the fake death medicine she remembered.
The more she thought about it, the more flustered she became, but she couldn't show it at all and could only put on a mask of calmness.
She secretly prayed that the pill would return to her hand, like a miracle, and reappear in the small white bottle.
She had often imagined herself falling to the ground in a twisted state after taking the fake death drug. Perhaps she could even hear Gu Shi's heart-wrenching cry in her sleep.
Whenever she thought of this, her heart was filled with joy, but now her fake death medicine had mysteriously disappeared, and all her fantasies were shattered. She had no power to fight back, and could only pace anxiously to see the female doctor.
She didn't dare to let the female doctor feel her pulse, so she just asked:
"I've been vomiting a bit lately. Could you please give me a pill to stop vomiting?"
She didn't hear clearly what the female doctor said, she mumbled a bunch of incomprehensible words, she only knew that she got three black, round pills.
All medicines look like this, nothing special.
She smelled the medicine and it smelled like dried tangerine peel, which was completely different from her fake death medicine. She remembered the smell of the fake death medicine.
The smell of the fake death drug was bitter, a layered and strange bitterness, like the bitterness extracted from hundreds of herbs mixed together.
If she just smells it, she will definitely recognize it.
Putting the bottle of antiemetic medicine into her sleeve, she strolled to the study.
Gu Shi was sitting in front of the table, pondering over a pile of things he didn't know what they were. Lingchuan was too lazy to talk to him, so he just went outside and grabbed a little palace maid who was responsible for packing up.
She asked:
"Do you have any extra inkstones and ink? Bring me a set."
"Lingchuan, what do you want the inkstone and ink for?"
Gu Shi heard her voice and just sat inside and asked.
Lingchuan didn't talk to him, but instead talked to a little palace maid. He frowned and felt a little unhappy.
She clearly saw him, but ignored him.
Gu Shi didn't like her like this.
"I want to go back and learn to paint and draw some patterns. Is that not okay?"
Lingchuan muttered.
"None of your business."
"Speaking of painting materials, it's quite complicated. Just the brushes alone require..."
Lingchuan was impatient to listen to the long string of gibberish and interrupted him directly:
"Don't listen to his nonsense. I need an inkstone, ink, and a brush. Go get them for me right away."
The little palace maid nodded woodenly and went to find a set of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.
When she came back, she saw Gu Shi coming out with a wooden tray in his hand. On it was a complete set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, all of which were his most frequently used items.
He directly handed the wooden tray containing the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone to the little palace maid.
"Help her get it back, Shen."
Lingchuan looked at her and frowned.
"Come with me."
Just as she was about to leave, Gu Shi stopped her, held her shoulders and kissed her.
The kiss was a little sudden, and she didn't have time to dodge, and was kissed hard on the cheek.
"You go."
There was a hint of mockery in Gu Shi's smile.
Lingchuan frowned, glared at him, and angrily took the little palace maid back to Congcui Palace.
After she returned to Congcui Palace, she sent all the palace maids away and took out the small medicine bottle that Qin Sizhao had given her.
She first ground the ink, filled the bottom of the medicine bottle with ink, and then stuffed the pills given to her by the female doctor today into it.
She wanted to see if the pills would disappear again.
As long as you take out the pill, the ink will flow onto the person's hand, and then you can easily know who did the good deed.
She was worried, not afraid that the pill would disappear, but afraid that the pill would still be there.
If the pill had remained in the bottle, she would have had no idea where to start.
She deliberately went out for a walk and then came back to check again.
The pill is still at the bottom of the bottle, so it doesn't seem like it's going to happen soon...
Although Lingchuan knew that his method would not be effective in a short time, he was still a little disappointed.
"My lady, what are you doing?"
Aoba walked in and asked.
"I found a pill from my belongings at the palace and put it in this bottle."
She deliberately spoke to test him.
"I asked the female doctor for some medicine today. Do you think it's reliable?"
"Your Majesty, I only have a basic understanding of herbal medicine. You should follow the female physician's instructions... Besides, you can't take medicines of unknown origin. You must first take them to the imperial physician for testing."
Lingchuan's eyes darkened...it turned out that Qingye knew a little about herbal medicine.
Just when she wanted to continue testing Qingye, Gu Shi came in.
"Your Majesty..."
"Okay, back off."
Gu Shi waved his hand, and Qingye had to go out, but she had something else that she had not reported in time.
"Lingchuan, didn't you say you wanted to learn painting? Where is your masterpiece?"
"The picture turned out to be a mess, so I crumpled up the rice paper and threw it away. It really wasn't the right material..."
Lingchuan gave him a perfunctory response.
"What a shame. I was wondering if you could draw a portrait of me."
"I have a hard time drawing a dog, let alone a person."
Gu Shi supported her chin and wanted to flirt with Lingchuan, but she was absent-minded, her mind full of what Qingye had just said.
If she really sent the medicine to the Imperial Hospital for testing... she would have to get it back quickly.
The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.
