Chapter 242 Magpie was bitten
Lu Yin laughed so hard that she covered her stomach: "I told you not to go in, you can't blame me."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."
Magpie spat out the dirt in her mouth, opened the bamboo basket and looked around. There was clearly some distance between the door and the cabinet. Someone deliberately put it on the door frame to embarrass her.
"Empress Defei... Empress Defei, something bad has happened!"
A young eunuch, soaked in sweat, ran in from outside the courtyard, knelt on the ground and said quickly: "Old lady... Old lady of Duke Chengguo was attacked by an assassin, and she has... is dead."
"What?"
Defei's legs went weak: "Say it again." "
In reply to Empress Defei, the Duke Chengguo's mansion outside the palace just reported to His Majesty that Old Lady of Duke Chengguo was assassinated and died. His Majesty asked me to tell Your Majesty."
"Empress Defei!"
All the palace people in Yanqing Palace rushed over and supported the fainted Defei.
Lu Yin was anxious, and she bowed to Jiang Xinyue to send the guest away: "Royal Concubine, you heard it too, our master is not in the mood to entertain you at this moment, please forgive me."
Jiang Xinyue looked at Concubine De, who turned pale and fell into the arms of the palace maid. If she didn't take advantage of her illness to kill her now, when would there be such a good opportunity again?
"Concubine De suddenly fainted, how could I sit idly by?"
She directed Jiang Chuan: "Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask for Doctor Lu, whom Concubine De trusts, and you guys, carry Concubine De into the bedroom."
After all, Lu Yin was just a palace maid. The Royal Concubine said she wanted to stay and help, so how could she, a little palace maid, refuse?
Seeing this, Xi Que whispered to Jiang Chuan: "Go to our palace and bring more of our own people. I don't believe that we can't find evidence even if we turn the entire Yanqing Palace upside down."
Her queen said that whatever you do will leave traces, and there is no perfect crime in this world.
She must find evidence that Concubine De abused the palace people to avenge the basket of soil just now.
Lu Yin is now planning on Concubine De, so how can she care about what Xi Que does? If
she can't control something, the palace maids and eunuchs under her dare not control it.
Jiang Xinyue covered her lips: "Let's go to the lotus garden just now. I always feel that there is something wrong with the fish in it."
Xi Que nodded and retreated quietly.
Jiang Xinyue blocked Luyin's eyes and stood in front of the bed with concern: "Is Concubine De okay? Is she in trouble?"
When Doctor Lu arrived, Xijue had already turned Yanqing Palace upside down, and she really didn't find anything wrong.
But...
Xijue kept barking towards the room where the fertilizer was stored. Xijue searched several times but found no clues.
Finally, she came to the lotus garden that Jiang Xinyue mentioned.
After about an incense stick of time, under the diagnosis and treatment of Doctor Lu, Concubine De slowly woke up.
Seeing Jiang Xinyue was still there, she was a little surprised and said weakly: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, I'm fine now, please go back! I'm going to ask the Emperor about the situation later."
She was very anxious and depressed, and felt that Jiang Xinyue was really a jerk. Why did she stay here while she was unconscious?
Did she want to catch her handle?
Then she would give her a "big gift", hoping that she would like it after seeing it.
It happened that Jiang Chuan also gave Jiang Xinyue a signal to retreat at the door at this time. She said: "Then I won't disturb you, Concubine De, to rest. Regarding the assassination of the old lady, I will ask the Emperor to investigate it thoroughly."
Every word she said deeply hurt Concubine De's heart. Her teeth were almost broken before she resisted the urge to kill.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Xinyue led a large group of palace servants from Hexi Palace and walked out of Yanqing Palace at a fast pace: "You said Xi Que was injured?"
Jiang Chuan was obviously a little out of breath from running, but he still tried his best to explain the matter clearly: "Xi Que listened to your words and went to the Lotus Garden. In order to see clearly what was in the water, she asked several palace maids to Lying on the edge of the pond, the yellow croaker in the pond went crazy for some reason, bit a palace maid's arm and dragged her into the water. In order to save the little palace maid, Xi Que pried the fish's mouth and the little palace maid escaped, but she fell into the pond and a large piece of flesh was bitten off her leg. Fortunately, the servant went to check the situation and rescued her from the fish's mouth. "
Yellow croaker can eat people?
This is really unheard of!
"Have you gone to invite Imperial Physician Yan?"
"I have already sent someone to go. When we return to the palace, Imperial Physician Yan should be here."
Jiang Xinyue said nothing more and hurried to Hexi Palace in a hurry.
"Uh...ah..."
There were two wounds on the left leg of the magpie. One of the wounds was very large and deep enough to show the bone, and the other was smaller, leaving only sharp animal teeth marks.
It should be that the yellow lip fish wanted to bite off a piece of meat from the magpie, but was rescued in time by Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Xinyue couldn't imagine that if the magpie fell in, would she be eaten?
After Doctor Yan bandaged all the wounds of the magpie with herbs, it was already past lunch time. The people in Hexi Palace were in no mood to eat. They were all scared by the miserable condition of the magpie.
The magpie has a lively personality and is also warm-hearted. Which eunuch or palace maid in Hexi Palace has not been taken care of by her?
People's hearts are exchanged for people's hearts. Everyone is very worried about her.
"What happened?"
After finishing his official duties, Emperor Xuanwu originally wanted to come and have lunch with Jiang Xinyue, but he saw that everyone in Hexi Palace was gloomy. After
asking the palace maids, he found out that Xi Que was seriously injured.
He knew that Jiang Xinyue was in Xi Que's room, so he came uninvited: "I heard that Xi Que was injured. What happened? Is it serious?"
As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
There was a basin of blood on the table, and some white silk stained with bright red blood were piled up next to it.
It can no longer be said to be white, they were all dyed red by the blood.
"Your Majesty..."
Jiang Xinyue's voice was filled with tears, and she buried her head in Emperor Xuanwu's chest with some reluctance: "It's all my fault..."
The usually lively and energetic Magpie had a pale face. Because of the excessive blood loss, she was dizzy and had a painful expression.
Her hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her cheeks. The white silk bandages kept bleeding.
Imperial Physician Yan had no choice but to open the silk again: "Miss Magpie, I'm going to give you a stronger hemostatic medicine. It will be very painful. You have to bear it."
Jiang Xinyue covered her mouth and shed tears silently in the arms of Emperor Xuanwu.
"Hiss--"
After the herbs were scraped off, the emperor also saw the wound on Magpie's leg clearly. He took a breath of cool air: "This... Miss Magpie went to the zoo?"
The wound looked like she was attacked by a beast.
Doctor Yan shook his head and said, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, this wound... was really caused by a fish bite?"
Fish?
What kind of fish is so ferocious?
