Chapter 370: Patience and Instigation



Until now, Qian Ruolan still doesn't know that the culprit behind all this was actually Qian Ruoyu.

Long before this, the pastries she ate had already been mixed with the pathogens of the plague.

All this was indeed what Qian Ruoyu requested, but Qian Ruoyu only said that he wanted to take revenge on Qian Ruolan, so Liu Dehai immediately came up with this idea.

After all, she is from the Imperial Household Department, so she is in charge of the daily life and diet of the entire harem. Although the food is prepared by the imperial kitchen, if it is to be sent to Qian Ruolan, it has to go through the Imperial Household Department.

Therefore, Liu Dehai only did a little bit of work, and the food Qian Ruolan ate was infected with the virus.

Liu Dehai was very aware that what he had done might very likely cause a huge backlash, but he could not care less. After all, this was the best time to express his sincerity and friendship to Qian Ruoyu.

Seeing Qian Ruoyu so angry, Liu Dehai naturally couldn't help but want to avenge her, so he helped Qian Ruoyu do so.

Not long after that, the little palace maid helped Qian Ruolan get a prescription and prepared it for her.

But not long after taking it, Qian Ruolan felt even more pain, because the medicine brought by the little palace maid was still arranged by Liu Dehai himself.

It can be said that the entire Eastern Palace is now completely under the watchful eyes of Liu Dehai.

Afterwards, Liu Dehai re-examined all the people in the Eastern Palace. Except for the little palace maid beside Qian Ruolan, all of them could be said to be Liu Dehai's people.

Therefore, the young palace maid was completely kept in the dark and thought that what she took back was an antidote, but in fact it was just a bowl of medicine for getting a sore throat.

It was because of the potion made from the fire prescription that night that Qian Ruolan's life was almost taken!

Qian Ruolan only felt extremely painful all over. She couldn't utter any more words at all. Instead, her whole body was covered in cold sweat and twitching.

This painful feeling made Qian Ruolan unable to say anything extra for a moment. Instead, she begged the little palace maid beside her to help her quickly.

The little palace maid was naturally panicked at this time. She never thought that the prescription she brought back personally would turn Qian Ruolan into this state.

Therefore, she felt extremely guilty, but there was nothing she could do. After all, the prescription was written by the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

At this time, several young palace maids passed by the door and took a special look inside. Yes, these people were arranged by Liu Dehai himself.

Liu Dehai wanted to know what the situation was like in the Eastern Palace now. After all, the prince had not lived in the Eastern Palace for some time and had left the palace.

As early as half a month ago, the prince had already traveled and lived in the summer resort.

Therefore, this plague had no effect on the prince at all, and even gave him a little help.

After all, if anything happened to the emperor because of the plague, then there would be only one person who would benefit the most, and that was the prince.

After confirming that Qian Ruolan was in great pain, the palace maids returned and told Liu Dehai about the situation.

Liu Dehai gave each of them a small piece of silver as a reward.

"You have done a great job. You have reported very good information to me. Next, I will quickly notify the doctors in the Imperial Hospital and ask them to find a way to treat the patient. Your Highness, this matter of your Highness is really worrying!"

The little maid asked doubtfully.

"Butler, what happened to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess? Could it really be a plague?"

After she said this, the other young palace maids were all shocked. After all, people in the palace were very afraid of tigers.

Once the plague is mentioned, it only makes people want to escape.

But the problem with the small apartment was exactly what Liu Dehai wanted to tell them.

Liu Dehai pretended to be confused and worried at the same time.

"Well... if it's not a plague, that would be great. I don't know the specific situation. Do you think the Crown Princess' current condition looks like a plague?"

As Liu Dehai finished speaking, several palace maids nodded in unison.

“They really look alike.”

"Yeah, yeah, it feels like I have a plague..."

"Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has really been infected with the plague? That's really scary!"

After all, no one wants to live with someone with the plague, let alone almost pass by someone with the plague.

But Liu Dehai still patiently guided him.

"In that case, could it really be a plague? I'm not so sure, and this matter is very serious. If it gets to His Majesty's ears, I wonder what will happen to the Crown Princess..."

"By the way, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess looks so sad. Didn't she think of going to the imperial physician herself? During the time we've been running the hospital, we haven't heard anything about what happened to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess..."

After hearing his words, one of the palace maids immediately spoke.

"Oh, Chief Steward Liu, if the Crown Princess really had the plague, I'm afraid she wouldn't dare to say it out loud!"

"Think about it, if the Crown Princess had the plague, how could she casually tell others about it? If His Majesty knew about it, she would most likely be punished by His Majesty!"

"Because the plague has caused many concubines to be banished to the cold palace, I'm afraid... if the Crown Princess also gets the plague, she will be sent to the cold palace immediately..."

Liu Dehai pretended to be scared.

Instead, the young palace maids actually started talking.

"Is it because of this reason that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess dared not go to the Imperial Hospital, nor did she dare to tell His Majesty the Emperor?"

"What's more, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess doesn't seem to dare to tell others about bad things on weekdays. On the contrary, once there is good news, it will spread throughout the palace and everyone will know about it..."

"That's right, that's right. If it is confirmed to be a plague, I'm afraid this matter is dangerous. By the way, Manager Liu, is the potion we asked you to buy before really effective after drinking it?"

Hearing this question, Liu Dehai said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I drank the potion you drank, too! I drank more potions than you did in the past few days, and everything I eat tastes delicious now! Do you think there might be any problems? Haha!"
