254 Poisoning, bloody
Feng Qingchen probably had a conflict with the harem. The first time she entered the palace to see the Queen, the senior maidservant beside the Queen died not long after. This time when she went to see Concubine Xie, two maids beside Concubine Xie died.
The Queen didn't like her, and Concubine Xie didn't seem to like her either. However, Concubine Xie was obviously better at pretending than the Queen, and wasn't as tough as the Queen.
After Feng Qingchen entered, Concubine Xie did not mention the two palace maids at all. She chatted with Feng Qingchen in a graceful manner, asked a few questions about Feng Qingchen's recovery, and then turned to the main topic:
"I had a very good relationship with the Second Madam before I entered the palace. I am very happy to hear that you, Miss Feng, have cured the Second Madam's old illness. I never thought that Miss Feng, at such a young age, has such medical skills."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. My tricks are not worthy of being presented on stage." Feng Qingchen was sitting in the standard posture of a lady from a noble family. Not only was her back straight, but she could only sit halfway, with her buttocks touching the chair. It was extremely uncomfortable.
However, Feng Qingchen had just had a fight with Concubine Xie's people, and she didn't want the other party to find fault with her over such a small matter.
"Miss Feng is too modest. The third brother often mentions you in front of me, praising you for your extraordinary medical skills. It was because of Miss Feng's intervention that the second master was able to avoid an unjust case." Concubine Xie picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, but Feng Qingchen knew that Concubine Xie was sizing her up while drinking tea.
After all, if he looked at her openly, Feng Qingchen would notice it and be prepared to deal with it, but this kind of sneaky look was always hard to guard against.
Unlike the arrogance and indignation outside, Feng Qingchen was very respectful after entering the bedroom: "Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty. Qingchen does not dare to take credit for it. The Second Master is blessed, and the Third Master is humble."
Imperial Concubine Xie nodded in satisfaction: "Speaking of which, I am not feeling well. Miss Feng is here, so I won't bother the imperial physician. How about Miss Feng take a look for me?"
She placed her snow-white wrist on the table, not giving Feng Qingchen any chance to refuse. Feng Qingchen already knew this, so she was humble and stepped forward.
"Wenzhu, move a brocade cushion for Miss Feng." Concubine Xie was giving face to Miss Feng by not letting her kneel down to take her pulse.
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for allowing me to sit down." No matter what you think in your heart, you still have to do your best on the surface.
Feng Qingchen also knows how to take a pulse, so when the smart medical package was checking, she also tried to take her pulse. Unfortunately, whether it was because her pulse-taking skills were not good or because Concubine Xie was really not sick, Feng Qingchen found nothing.
Feng Qingchen frowned, but then she felt relieved after thinking about it. Gynecological diseases are not so easy to diagnose.
Feng Qingchen frowned, understood, and Concubine Xie's heart also fluctuated. Although she still had that elegant, noble, and unfathomable smile on her face, only she herself understood the anxiety beneath the smile.
When Feng Qingchen withdrew her hand from taking the pulse, Concubine Xie asked, "Miss Feng, how is my health?" In order to hide her anxiety, Concubine Xie spoke very slowly.
Now Feng Qingchen understood that speaking slowly has its advantages. No wonder the Ninth Prince spoke so slowly. It turned out that when the superior spoke slowly, people would feel pressured for no reason.
Feng Qingchen thought of how the Ninth Prince once reminded her vaguely that she should not interfere in the affairs of the harem, but she could stir up trouble.
"Your Majesty, this matter..." Feng Qingchen stood with his hands behind his back, looking embarrassed.
Concubine Xie had her own plans in mind, and after hearing this, she felt that her guess was correct. She glanced at Wen Zhu and asked her to clear the people in the hall.
Feng Qingchen wiped the sweat off his face nervously and checked the test results of the smart medical kit, which showed that everything was normal.
Huh?
Even the smart medical kit couldn’t find the problem. We should not underestimate the ancients. It seems that we can only use the method taught by the Ninth Prince.
"Doctor Feng, there are no outsiders here, so you can speak." In other words, no matter what Feng Qingchen said, it would not be spread out, but...
Anyone who is interested would understand something as long as they think about the fact that she entered Zhaoyan Palace and then Concubine Xie became pregnant. However, Feng Qingchen didn't care. Anyway, she would not directly interfere in Concubine Xie's affairs.
"I wonder if Your Majesty wants to hear the truth or a lie?" Feng Qingchen lowered his head. If the voice hadn't sounded, Concubine Xie would have doubted whether Feng Qingchen had said anything.
"How can I tell the truth? How can I tell a lie?" Concubine Xie didn't know that her breathing frequency had changed. She was very anxious.
A hundred years after the emperor passed away, although there was only one letter difference between the title of Concubine Dowager and the Empress Dowager, the treatment they received was worlds apart. Maybe she wouldn't even be able to get the title of Concubine Dowager and would be buried with the emperor.
Feng Qingchen did not keep the secret and said directly: "The truth is that your Majesty is in good health." This was really the truth, but it was a pity that no one believed it.
"What about the lie?" Concubine Xie thought that Feng Qingchen was just playing tricks and didn't take it seriously. Instead, she asked about another possibility.
"The lie is that Your Majesty has been poisoned, and Qingchen doesn't know how to detoxify." This is really a lie. Concubine Xie was definitely not poisoned. At most, someone gave her a drug that would not harm her body but would prevent a woman from getting pregnant.
The smile on Concubine Xie's face froze for a moment, but then she calmed down again as if nothing had happened: "Miss Feng is indeed a wonderful person. No wonder the Second Madam likes her so much. Even I like her too. Someone, give Miss Feng my new set of Nanling gold pearl face ornaments."
"Qingchen thanks the Queen for the reward." Feng Qingchen knelt down generously to express his gratitude.
The Xie family was not very good, but they were still very generous. She knew that Nanling's golden pearl was a tribute and could probably be sold for a lot of money. She would ask Su Wenqing if he would accept it.
Concubine Xie stood up and helped Feng Qingchen up personally. Feng Qingchen looked flattered. Concubine Xie was very satisfied: "I liked Miss Feng the moment I saw her. You can come to see me often when you are free in the future." She patted the back of Feng Qingchen's hand gently, with a look of relief on her face.
"Qingchen is so humbled. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty doesn't mind that I am clumsy and can't speak, I will come to bother you often." Feng Qingchen looked so happy that he didn't know what to do.
This gesture made Concubine Xie even more satisfied. She spoke a few more gentle words(5) before letting the palace maid escort Feng Qingchen out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, Miss Feng is also a shallow-minded person." Wen Zhu was quite disdainful. She felt sick when she thought of the two palace maids who died suddenly.
"She is a little arrogant, but she is easy to deal with. As a weak woman, she always needs to find someone to rely on. Although the eldest son of the Wang family is good, he is not a good match for her. The eldest son of the Wang family can protect her now, but he can't be so willful when he gets married in the future.
She is now the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty, and will definitely not be a concubine to anyone. Although my Xie family is not as good as the Wang family, not everyone can rely on it. She should be happy to have the Xie family to rely on. "
Concubine Xie's face was no longer friendly as before, and her cold eyes were a bit cold: "Wenzhu, check for me, and send someone else to look for it. Now that we have found the root cause, it is better to solve it as soon as possible."
"Yes, your majesty." Wenzhu retreated with a solemn face, looked up at the starless sky, and let out a long sigh.
I'm afraid this Zhaoyan Palace will be stained with blood again. This Miss Feng is really an ominous person. As soon as she entered the palace, the blood was constantly flowing...
