Chapter 351: Xijin Poison, Arrives Just in Time
Chang Lu was standing at the gate of the yard, circling in a panic.
After Ji Qingwu came out fully dressed, Chang Lu immediately rushed forward, knelt down and said, "Fifth Miss, the princess asked me to come and beg you."
When she heard that it was Tao Wanyin who sent someone over, her sleepiness disappeared completely. She frowned and asked, "Did something happen to the princess?"
Chang Lu said hurriedly: "The princess is in labor and has signs of bleeding, but the princess is in a state of emergency because something happened to the prince and she was detained in the palace."
Is the princess's fetus damaged? Something happened to Prince Yong too?
Ji Qingwu was surprised. After all, she had just left Prince Yong's Mansion in the afternoon. Such a big mess happened in just a few hours.
Chang Lu said hurriedly, "Oh! Madam, please follow me first, and I will tell you in detail on the way."
Ji Qingwu pinched her little finger, raised her eyes and said, "Please explain clearly first. I want to know what happened to make the princess' pregnancy unstable and cause bleeding. Only then can I decide whether to intervene or not."
Chang Lu saw that she was determined, and the two maids stood behind her and said, "It's because the prince was detained in the palace. The prince used some torture in the imperial prison to force a confession, which resulted in Prime Minister Su being on his last legs. But the bad thing is that the remnants of his accomplices have not yet confessed everything."
"When the emperor learned about this, he was furious and said..."
Ji Qingwu smelled the blood on Prince Yong's body and had already made some guesses in his mind. He was not too surprised. He just wondered what kind of torture Prince Yong had used to almost kill Su Fengyue.
She asked calmly, "What did the emperor say?"
Chang Lu sighed and said, "The emperor said that if Prime Minister Su died like this, he would no longer have to be the prince. After the princess heard the news, she began to feel unwell."
"Xuemei, go get me a cloak."
Ji Qingwu hugged his arms, looking a little cold.
She specifically asked: I want the cloak with red feather gauze and stone blue silk. ”
Lanzhi was just about to say that she would go and get it. Xuemei was not familiar with Ji Qingwu's clothes, but when she heard the young lady say that she wanted the one with red feather gauze, she looked at her in surprise.
Ji Qingwu asked again: "Eunuch Chang, why didn't you accompany Prince Yong in the palace?"
Normally, Chang Lu would follow Prince Yong wherever he went, and the master and servant were rarely separated.
Chang Lu said: "When the prince went to the imperial prison again, he asked me to stay in the mansion and take good care of the princess."
Ji Qingwu smiled and nodded, then suddenly clapped his hands towards the big banyan tree on the left.
The crisp sound of the slap startled the "bird" hiding in the tree.
Sihai swooped down from the tree like a black eagle in the night and pinned Changlu to the ground.
"Madam, what are you doing! I'm just here to deliver a message!" Chang Lu's head was pressed to the ground. He never thought that there was someone on the tree, and he shouted loudly.
Ji Qingwu frowned and said, "Tell him to keep his voice down."
If he shouts a few more times, everyone in the Wei family will be woken up by him.
Sihai didn't say much, he swung his arm violently, and when he raised his hand again, Chang Lu had been knocked unconscious.
Ji Qingwu originally just wanted to shut him up, but now...
It’s not impossible.
Lanzhi was so frightened when she saw Sihai falling from the sky that she covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.
She could tell that this was the guard who used to guard Wutong Garden. He came to help her young lady, and this eunuch from Prince Yong's Mansion had a big problem.
Ji Qingwu turned to Lanzhi and said, "Go inside and help Xuemei look for it."
Lanzhi nodded vigorously and said seriously, "Miss, just cough as an instruction, and I will bring Xuemei out later."
Ji Qingwu had just mentioned a cloak with red feather gauze and stone blue carved silk. Lanzhi knew that there was no such style in her wardrobe and that the young lady was deliberately trying to get Xuemei away.
Lanzhi pushed the door open and went back to her room. It was late at night and there was no one else around.
Ji Qingwu's eyes fell on Chang Lu's face and said, "Si Hai, check if he has a human skin mask on his face."
Sihai asked, "Do you suspect that his identity is fake and that he is being impersonated by someone else?"
Ji Qingwu nodded: "He called me Madam right away. No one in Prince Yong's Mansion has ever called me that."
Si Hai said thoughtfully, "But in the Wei family, it's not too much to call you Madam. Maybe it's to avoid being overheard by the servants and gossiping behind your back."
Ji Qingwu said, "I just checked the pulse of Princess Yong this afternoon. The pregnancy is very stable. She will not have any symptoms of bleeding or metrorrhagia because of this news, unless someone hits Princess Yong's belly with external force."
Out of confidence in his medical skills, Ji Qingwu began to doubt Chang Lu's identity when he heard that Tao Wanyin had seen blood.
It was the first time that Sihai heard of a doctor being so sure about his medical skills instead of being vague.
Seeing Ji Qingwu's bright eyes when he talked about this, Sihai's heart also relaxed. His new master was not an embroidered pillow, but was smart and could judge people.
Tonight, Emperor Wu Su came with a pouty mouth and left with a sullen face. He saw it all clearly from the tree, but he did not mention punishing him. Therefore, Sihai also has a new understanding of Ji Qingwu's "strength".
Ji Qingwu raised his chin: "Let's take a look at his condition first."
Sihai immediately squatted down and rubbed Chang Lu's face carefully, but found nothing unusual.
He said: "Without the human skin mask, it is Chang Lu himself."
Ji Qingwu frowned, that weird feeling couldn't be wrong.
She also half squatted down, and in the thin moonlight, she noticed a small red mole behind Chang Lu's ear.
She turned her slender wrist flexibly, and like a magic trick, she pulled out a shiny silver needle from her sleeve, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, she poked it straight at the red mole.
Ji Qingwu picked up the silver needle and handed it to the two men.
Sihaidao: "This is......"
This is not a mole at all. What was picked up by the silver needle is clearly a small spider with a blood-red body.
"It's the spider poison from Xijin's Sa tribe." Sihai quickly recognized what it was and frowned in disgust.
Ji Qingwu asked, "What is the specific effect of spider poison?"
Si Hai Dao: "...I'm not sure about that."
The secret guard had special training, but he felt sick at the sight of spiders, so he listened with one ear and let it out with the other, and didn't remember much at all.
Ji Qingwu slowly concluded: "At the very least, it can control people's minds, but who is the person controlling it behind the scenes?"
Si Hai said seriously: "He wants to take you away. The person behind him should be related to Xi Jin. The fourth prince of Xi Jin escaped the pursuit..."
The two of them thought of the same thing, and Ji Qingwu curled his lips and sneered.
"It's him. He came just in time."
*
What "Chang Lu" confessed was not entirely false.
In order to lure Ji Qingwu into the trap, most of the information used was real.
Zhao Minghong found an excuse to escape during the day and returned to the palace only when night fell.
