Chapter 901 Object of Suspicion
When Concubine Yao woke up, she found herself sitting in the corridor.
She opened her eyes, looked around, and found that there was no one around her.
Why is she here?
Concubine Yao tried hard to recall what happened before she fell asleep, but found that she only remembered coming to Ningxin Palace to visit Concubine Chen, and had forgotten everything else.
She was just in a daze when she saw Concubine Min coming over with a cup of cold tea.
Concubine Min said softly, "You are awake now. Drink this tea quickly. You should feel better."
Yao Jieyu took the teacup in a daze.
She took two sips of herbal tea and felt better.
She asked in confusion, "How could I fall asleep here?"
Concubine Min: "Don't you remember anything? You just said you were not feeling well and felt a little dizzy and wanted to sit down and rest for a while, so I asked you to sit here and I'll go get you a cup of tea."
Yao Jieyu tried hard to recall, but she could not remember anything and could only shake her head in frustration.
"I really don't remember."
Concubine Min comforted him, "It's just a small matter, forget it. Can you still stand up?"
Yao Jieyu stood up with the help of the pillar beside her.
Concubine Min took the teacup from her hand, put it aside, and said in a gentle voice.
"Shall we go visit Concubine Chen?"
Yao Jieyu nodded and agreed.
Concubine Min: "Let me help you."
Yao Jieyu: "Thank you."
…
The people of the Heng family followed Heng Jin's whereabouts and finally found Heng Jin in Wanhai City.
They tried to persuade Hengjin to go back, but Hengjin refused.
Hengjin insisted on going on a long voyage.
He wanted to see the places Shu Xiangmei had been to in the story and see the sea world that Shu Xiangmei had seen.
The servants of the Heng family all felt that their young master had really gone mad. Since soft tactics didn't work, they decided to use hard tactics and planned to tie up the young master and take him back.
Anyway, before they set out, the master and the mistress had told them that if the young master refused to go home, they should tie him up and take him back!
Unexpectedly, Hengjin escaped first.
By the time the servants started to work, the guest room was empty and the young master had disappeared long ago.
Hengjin was looking for an opportunity to go out to sea in Wanhai City.
It happened that Luo Yechen was preparing to recruit people for a long voyage, and Heng Jin disguised himself as a civilian and sneaked into the fleet.
When everything is ready, the fleet officially sets sail.
There were a total of seven ships setting sail this time, and Luo Yechen was on the largest one.
It was the first time he faced the vastness of the ocean and he was deeply shocked.
In the past, he thought that the so-called ocean was just an enlarged version of a lake.
It was not until this moment when he was on the sea that he realized how shallow his previous understanding was.
Lakes and oceans are like ants and elephants.
There is simply no comparison!
Heng Jin felt the same as him. He was so shocked by the boundless ocean in front of him that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't make a sound for a long time.
So this is the sea!
Mr. Miaobi was not lying to me, the world on the sea is really magical!
The fleet sailed along the designated route and soon found a small island containing iron ore.
The ships docked and the crew members disembarked, entering the first phase of iron ore mining.
It was not until then that Heng Jing realized that they came here to mine iron ore.
Hengjin has been spoiled since he was a child and has never done any heavy work, let alone mining iron ore.
He gritted his teeth and worked for two days, but in the end he couldn't bear it anymore and fell ill.
In addition to him, several other people fell ill due to injuries or acclimatization.
Luo Yechen went to look at them.
Heng Jin was originally worried that he would be recognized, but he overestimated Luo Yechen's eyesight.
Luo Yechen glanced at his dark face and didn't recognize who this dirty and disheveled guy was at all.
Luo Yechen did not force these patients to continue working. Instead, he had them sent back to the ship and handed over to the accompanying doctors for treatment.
The mined iron ore was loaded onto ships and transported back to Wanhai City one ship after another.
After Luo Yechen watched the island for two days, he followed the ship carrying iron ore back to Wanhai City.
Hengjin and several other patients were also sent back.
Because he only worked for two days, Hengjing's wages were pitifully low. In addition, he fell ill, and the wages just offset his medical expenses.
He was then kicked out of the fleet.
The fleet doesn't need a delicate employee like him who can't get anything done and only causes trouble for them.
Heng Jin's self-confidence was greatly hit. When the Heng family's servants found him again, he did not resist and obediently followed the servants home.
When they returned to Shengjing City, it was already the beginning of autumn.
The weather is getting cooler.
Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan ended their vacation and returned to the palace from Shanglinyuan.
Upon learning that Concubine Chen was seriously ill, Xiao Xixi went to see her specially.
Judging from the black aura lingering around Concubine Chen, she was indeed very ill.
Xiao Xixi asked someone to invite Fang Wujiu over and asked him to treat Concubine Chen.
The results obtained by Fang Wujiu were similar to those obtained by other imperial physicians.
"Chen Jieyu initially suffered from a common sunburn, but her symptoms worsened because her ointment was tampered with. Although she stopped using the ointment, it seems that there was something wrong with the food she ate."
Xiao Xixi called Rouju over and asked what Concubine Chen had eaten recently.
Rouju answered truthfully: "Jieyu has had a poor appetite recently. She only eats millet porridge and soup every day, as well as herbal medicine, nothing else."
Fang Wujiu: "Are these all from the imperial kitchen?"
Rouju shook her head: "No, we cooked them all in the small kitchen."
Fang Wujiu: "Can you take me to the small kitchen?"
Rouju nodded and said yes.
She took Fang Wujiu to the small kitchen.
Xiao Xixi felt the room was a bit stuffy and wanted to go out for some fresh air.
But Concubine Chen stopped her.
"My Lady, please help me!"
Xiao Xixi looked at Concubine Chen.
At this time, Concubine Chen was already ill. Her face was red and swollen, and some parts were rotten. Her neck and the backs of her hands were covered with dense red rashes, which looked very scary.
Her eyes were filled with tears, her voice was choked and hoarse, and her eyes were full of pleading.
Xiao Xixi: "Do you have anyone you suspect?"
Concubine Chen initially suspected Concubine Min, but Concubine Min behaved very normally and was trying hard to help her find out the truth. She didn't seem like someone who would harm her.
Apart from Concubine Min, all she could think of were the few low-ranking concubines in the palace.
She hesitated for a moment, but still reported the names of those concubines.
Xiao Xixi asked: "Why do you doubt them?"
Concubine Chen said vaguely, "I have offended them before."
Her status was much higher than those concubines, so she was the only one who could embarrass those concubines. How could those concubines dare to offend her? !
But she didn't dare say it out loud.
Xiao Xixi didn't ask any further questions. She just comforted her with a few words and left the room filled with the smell of medicine.
