Chapter 639 Happy Event
"But what's wrong?" Luo asked anxiously.
"In reply to your question, the prince and the concubine did not suffer from any sudden illness, but were poisoned." The imperial physician answered truthfully.
"Poisoned?" Luo's face turned pale. "What kind of poison? Is it dangerous?"
"Princess, please don't panic. Although this poison is fierce, because the prince and concubine do not eat much, their lives are not in danger for the time being. As for what kind of poison it is, I will make a conclusion after carefully checking what the prince and concubine eat."
The poisoning of Prince Qi and Hang Xueyun was sudden and strange, so the servants did not touch the food in the room. The imperial physician took a quick look and then used a silver needle to check the remaining food one by one.
Soon, the imperial physician came out with the result.
Two dishes were poisoned, namely black chicken stewed with red dates and astragalus, and lamb stewed with donkey-hide gelatin.
What? Luo's pupils suddenly shrank into the size of rice grains, and his body shook.
The imperial physician had been in the palace for a long time, and had often treated princes and nobles, so he had seen all the struggles in the harem. Looking at the situation and Luo's reaction, he had a rough idea in his mind. He stopped talking to Luo and focused on treating and detoxifying Prince Qi and Hang Xueyun.
After Luo realized what was happening, she saw that the imperial physician had misunderstood her, and hurriedly explained, "Although I sent these two dishes specifically for the prince and the concubine, I didn't poison them..."
The imperial physician naturally did not want to get involved in this fight, and only said, "I am only an imperial physician, I only treat patients, I am not clear about other matters, nor do I need to be clear about them."
"Although this poison is not fatal, if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid it will easily cause sequelae."
Luo's face turned pale, and she wanted to explain further, but she stopped talking.
It would take some time to detoxify, so the imperial physician stayed at Prince Qi's mansion that night.
By midnight, the conditions of Prince Qi and Hang Xueyun had finally stabilized, and Luo returned to her own courtyard with her exhausted body.
But no matter how tired he was, Luo couldn't sleep at this moment.
According to this situation, the King of Qi will wake up tomorrow, and when he wakes up he will definitely ask about the poisonous food.
And the poisonous food happened to be those two dishes. The King of Qi must have believed that it was her doing.
Although, she didn't do this.
To put it bluntly, if she really had this idea, she wouldn't have done it so obviously and brought herself so much dislike.
But based on her understanding of the King of Qi, the King of Qi must think that she did it.
Luo bit her lips again and again, squeezing out a sentence from between her teeth, "This must be a trap set by Hang Xueyun."
She is the biggest beneficiary of this incident. It was definitely her who did it.
"But we have no evidence." Bitao replied in a low voice.
They just asked the people in the kitchen, but didn't find any clues. It can be said that they got nothing.
"What should we do then?" Luo was a little annoyed.
Bitao did not respond.
Because she doesn't know either.
This kind of thing can be said to be the most frustrating thing. If you remain silent, people will say that you have done something bad, so you have acquiesced. But if you speak out to protest your injustice, you will most likely be accused of refusing to admit it and being stubborn.
It can be said that what the final result will be, and whether it will be determined that Luo was the one who did it, all depends on the King of Qi's opinion.
It can even be said that it doesn't matter whether Luo did it or not, as long as the King of Qi thinks it wasn't done, then it wasn't done. But if the King of Qi thinks it was done, even if Luo didn't do it, it would still be considered as such.
Luo also understood the situation at the moment. She sat down on the chair somewhat dejectedly. After a long while, she raised her red eyes and said, "After the lights came on, someone was sent to invite Zhuo'er back from the Imperial College. They just said that something happened at home."
She still has Chu Jinzhuo to rely on. No matter what, having Chu Jinzhuo around is much better than her arguing here alone.
"Yes." Bitao hurriedly went to make arrangements. ——The snow had stopped for four or five days, and the sun had been shining brightly since then. Except for the shady side, the snow in most places had melted away, and even the ground had dried up for the most part.
Chu Jinnian folded the letter in his hand, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth upwards, and put it in a box beside him.
Seeing this, Jing Zhao was also delighted.
Princess Luo of the Prince of Qi was narrow-minded and intolerant. Due to her jealousy of the concubine, she even thought of poisoning the Prince of Qi and Concubine Hang. This made the Prince of Qi angry, and he wrote her a letter of divorce and drove her out of the Prince of Qi's palace.
It's hard not to be happy about such a happy event.
After all, sooner or later you will have to pay for what you have done.
This is a good opportunity to let Luo have a taste of the bitterness that the Princess of Qi once experienced and receive the retribution she deserves.
"The weather is nice today, let's go to the county lady's house and have a seat." Chu Jinnian walked out.
Jing Zhao, who was following behind, curled his lips.
Tian'er is right, don't you go there every day? Anyway, you have to go there every day, so let's not make up some high-sounding excuses for ourselves, okay? However, even though he was complaining in his heart, Jing Zhao still hurriedly followed him and drove Chu Jinnian to Zhuang Qingning's house.
When Zhuang Qingning saw Chu Jinnian coming, she smiled and said, "It's a good thing you're here. Help me chop the firewood."
"Okay." Chu Jinnian rolled up his sleeves skillfully, took the axe beside him and started chopping wood.
While looking at the firewood at hand, he asked, "These firewoods look a little different from ordinary firewoods. They smell like some fruits."
"These are some branches from apple and pear trees. I thought I'd make a fire and roast duck with them later." Zhuang Qingning answered as he packed up the duck in his hand.
"You are free now, thinking about cooking." Chu Jinnian smiled.
"These workshops are now managed by someone, so I don't have to worry about them, so I naturally have more free time."
In addition, during this period of time, even a certain five did not give her any tasks.
But then again, there has been no mission released, could this Five be...
[Host, rest assured, the system is still fine. 】
Then why don't you have any tasks recently? Are you lazying off somewhere?
[Of course not.]
[No tasks have been released recently because the host has completed the primary stage of the wealth-making system and reached the advanced stage. There are no random triggering tasks in the advanced stage, and only the mall redemption function can be used. ]
[In addition, the host's diligence value has been growing steadily and orderly recently, and the host has nothing to exchange, and has not summoned the system, so the system has not appeared actively. ]
Ahem, there is nothing that needs to be redeemed really.
After all, for her now, the things she owns are simply too much to store.
It seems that a certain Five can just sit back and do nothing.
[…It’s just a passive salted fish. ]
