Chapter 723 The Harmful Knife
Xiao Xixi pouted: "I just touched her, and didn't make her lose any flesh. Is your majesty so stingy?"
Luo Qinghan: "Don't force me to say it a second time."
Xiao Xixi had no choice but to let go of Concubine Lao reluctantly.
The tuberculosis concubine felt as if she had been pardoned, and hurriedly stepped back to distance herself from the imperial concubine.
At this moment, in the eyes of Concubine Lao, the imperial concubine in front of her was more terrifying than a flood or a beast.
The monsters only eat people, but the imperial concubine not only eats people, she is also disgusting!
The concubine didn't dare to stay here any longer. After saying goodbye to the emperor, she fled in a hurry.
Luo Qinghan never looked at Concubine Lao even once from beginning to end.
He waved his hand, and Eunuch Chang immediately retreated with the palace maids and eunuchs.
Only the emperor and the imperial concubine were left in the side hall.
Luo Qinghan stared at Xiao Xixi coldly, his tone icy.
"What happened to you today?"
Xiao Xixi: "You may not believe it, but I was poisoned."
Luo Qinghan's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to call the imperial physician.
Xiao Xixi quickly called out to him, "Don't call for help yet. I'm fine. Someone tampered with my clothes. You know, ordinary poisons have no effect on me."
The coldness in Luo Qinghan's eyes quickly faded, and he asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Xiao Xixi: "This is actually the case..."
…
Concubine Tuberculosis returned to the main hall and sat in her own seat.
She took out her handkerchief and wiped her hands and face, her heart filled with disgust for the imperial concubine.
In the past, she only thought that the imperial concubine was a scheming person, but now it seems that the imperial concubine is actually bisexual, how disgusting!
She rubbed it twice and felt the back of her hand was a little itchy, so she subconsciously wiped harder.
But the more I rubbed it, the more itchy it became.
Soon the back of her hand was rubbed red.
Not only that, but her eyes and cheeks also started to itch.
She couldn't help scratching, but the itch didn't subside, instead it became even more intense.
Concubine Jing, who was sitting at the same table with her, suddenly asked.
"What's wrong with your face? Why is it so red?"
Concubine Li, who was sitting at the table next to her, looked over and made a clicking sound when she heard this.
"Lao Fei, did you put something bad on your face? I told you, not everything can be put on the face. Some things will not only not make you beautiful, but will make your face rotten."
These gloating words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, making Concubine Lao so angry that she glared at him.
"Are you hurting me?!"
Concubine Li sneered, "I say, Concubine Lao, even if you want to frame me, you have to show me real evidence first. If you dare to talk nonsense without any evidence, do you believe I will tear your mouth off?"
She kept calling the other person a tuberculosis concubine, and was stabbing him in the heart.
The tuberculosis concubine's eyes turned red with anger.
If it were any other time, she would definitely have a heated argument with Concubine Li.
But now her face and hands were itching badly, and she was afraid that she was being plotted against by someone else, so she didn't dare to delay here.
She suppressed her anger, stood up and walked out in a hurry.
The palace maid Liu Xu followed closely behind.
The sudden departure of Concubine Tuberculosis did not have much impact on the banquet. Everyone continued to eat and drink as usual, and the atmosphere was peaceful.
In the side hall.
After listening to Xixi's explanation of the whole story, Luo Qinghan already understood the sinister intentions of the person who did it.
That person knew that today was the imperial concubine's enthronement ceremony, and deliberately chose this time to tamper with Xixi's clothes. Even if she noticed it, she could do nothing about it.
Because today is her big day. If anyone were to murder her, it would be like exposing the struggle in the harem to the world.
By then, it would not only be her who would be embarrassed, but also the entire royal family.
Xiao Xixi: "Fortunately, I am immune to all poisons, otherwise I don't know what to do in today's level?"
Luo Qinghan: "I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly. Go back first, change your clothes, and let Doctor Fang take a look at you."
Xiao Xixi: "What about the banquet? Those guests came specially to congratulate me. If I leave early, it will feel a bit unfair."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "You are the imperial concubine. I am the only one in this world who needs your favor. You don't need to care whether others like me or not."
Xiao Xixi's face turned red, she covered her chest and screamed exaggeratedly.
"Your Majesty, why do you flirt with me all the time? I feel like my heart is about to burst out!"
Luo Qinghan: ???
The straight emperor didn't understand what was so provocative about what he had just said?
Didn't he just tell the truth?
When Xiao Xixi walked out of the side hall, she met Baoqin and Xiyu's worried eyes.
They all saw that the emperor was unhappy at the banquet just now, and they were afraid that the emperor would vent his anger on the imperial concubine.
Xiao Xixi smiled sweetly at them.
"It's okay, let's go back."
Since Xiao Xixi had gone back, Luo Qinghan naturally had no interest in sitting back at the banquet.
He sent a message to the guests, telling them that the imperial concubine had gone back to rest because she was drunk.
Princess Li stood up and said lazily.
"Since the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor have left, I will leave too. Please enjoy your meal."
Yao Jieyu also stood up quickly and said, "I have almost finished eating. I will go back with you."
Princess Li nodded slightly, then walked out.
Yao Jieyu followed closely behind.
After Concubine Li left, Concubine Jing had the highest status among the people left in the main hall.
Several young concubines took the initiative to come up to Concubine Jing and toast her, pouring out all kinds of nice words as if they were free.
Concubine Jing always had a smile on her face and behaved in a graceful and elegant manner.
Su Cairen didn't go over.
She was thinking about why the imperial concubine left early.
Just now she had been observing the imperial concubine silently. She saw that the imperial concubine ate many dishes but drank almost no alcohol.
It is simply impossible to say that the imperial concubine cannot drink much.
Since she wasn't drunk, why did the imperial concubine leave suddenly?
Is it because of the powder?
Su Cairen pursed her red lips, her thoughts turning around and around in her mind, but she couldn't come to a solid conclusion.
After Xiao Xixi returned to Yunxiu Palace, she immediately took off her clothes.
She was afraid of implicating others, so she refused to let anyone serve her.
After Fang Wujiu finished examining the two palace maids, he did not leave but stayed in Yunxiu Palace.
At this time, he took Xiao Xixi's pulse, asked a few more questions, and finally said.
"You're not seriously injured, but just to be on the safe side, you should take a medicinal bath."
Fang Wujiu wrote out a prescription and asked someone to prepare the herbs according to the prescription and boil a pot of hot bath soup.
Xiao Xixi took off her clothes and sat in the bath.
Baoqin ordered the young eunuchs to carry out a wooden basin and place it in front of Fang Wujiu. In the basin were the luxurious dress that the imperial concubine would wear to attend the enthronement ceremony today.
The bright red color is vivid and scorching, as dazzling as the rising sun.
Every stroke and every thread of the embroidery on the skirt is the result of the painstaking efforts of the embroiderers, but unexpectedly, it would become a knife that harms people.
…
