Chapter 14 Song Qingyuan is poisoned
Song Qingyuan leaned against the window, his eyes deep, thinking about an incident in the original book in his mind.
The incident was neither big nor small, but it was enough to make those arrogant hypocrites in the Shen family lose face.
Concubine Xue's mother's family secretly lent money at high interest, but ended up in trouble. The hole was so big that it could not be filled, so they desperately came to Shen Yanzhi for help.
Shen Yanzhi in the book prides himself on being aloof and noble, so naturally he cannot afford to pay this dirty money.
In the end, it was his considerate concubine Wen who generously donated money.
He took the living expenses left by the original owner for his two children and used it to fill the hole in the Xue family.
She not only won the favor of Concubine Xue, but also earned a good reputation as a virtuous and sensible person in front of Shen Yanzhi.
Kill two birds with one stone, the calculations are working very well.
Song Qingyuan sneered. This time, she wanted to bring this matter forward.
She wanted to see if they could still maintain their noble and proud character without money.
"Natsuko-chan."
"Girl, I'm here." Xiao Xiazi hurried in with a simple smile on his face.
Song Qingyuan handed him a letter he had already written. "When there's a commotion in my yard, immediately slip out through the back door and give this to my third brother. Tell him to do what the letter says."
Xiao Xiazi held the letter in her hand, looked at Song Qingyuan's calm face, and asked in a low voice with some uneasiness: "My dear, do you really have to do this? Your body..."
"I know what's going on." Song Qingyuan interrupted him, "It's just a trick of pretending to be sick. You won't die. Remember what I said, timing is the most important thing."
Although Xiao Xiazi's brains weren't very bright, she was loyal to Song Qingyuan. He nodded heavily, carefully put the letter into his arms, kept it close to his body, turned around and hid at the back door.
An hour later, both children were fast asleep, and Song Qingyuan had put them to bed.
She returned to the inner room alone and took out three processed Chuanwu from the space.
This thing is extremely toxic, but as long as the dosage is controlled properly, it can cause people to vomit and have diarrhea, and fall into a coma. It looks scary, but it is not fatal.
Without any hesitation, Song Qingyuan stuffed all three Chuanwu plants into his mouth and chewed them hard.
An indescribable bitterness and spiciness instantly exploded in the mouth and rushed straight to the top of the head.
The drug took effect faster than expected.
But in just a moment, her abdomen felt like it was being violently stirred by countless steel needles, and her stomach was churning.
Song Qingyuan gritted her teeth, cold sweat oozing from her forehead. She was calculating the time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to fall.
The pain became more and more severe, and my vision went black.
Finally, she could no longer hold on, her body suddenly went limp, and she fell heavily to the ground.
"Bang!"
The loud noise startled Chuntao, the maid guarding outside the door.
"Little girl!"
Chuntao rushed in screaming, and the next moment, she was scared to death by the scene before her.
Song Qingyuan was seen curled up on the ground, with glaring bloodstains hanging from the corners of her mouth, and the hem of her skirt was quickly dyed red by large amounts of blood!
"Hurry! Go and get the doctor!" Chuntao's voice was shaking.
While yelling for someone to call a doctor, he frantically tried to help Song Qingyuan.
While his consciousness was blurred, Song Qingyuan felt a familiar, tearing pain in his abdomen.
This pain...is not caused by the toxicity of Chuanwu.
It was a miscarriage.
She is pregnant?
After all the calculations, I missed this part of myself.
Before falling into complete darkness, Song Qingyuan used up his last bit of strength, gently placed his hand on his lower abdomen, and his lips moved silently.
sorry……
The entire palace was in chaos. The servants had pale faces and walked hurriedly but did not dare to make too much noise. A suppressed sense of panic enveloped every pavilion and tower.
Xiao Xiazi was like a loach. She took advantage of the chaos to slip out from the corner door, stuffed a thin piece of letter into the hand of Mr. Song San, and ran back without even having time to drink her saliva. The whole process was as fast as a gust of wind.
Inside the bedroom, there was deathly silence.
Shen Yanzhi had already returned and was now sitting beside Song Qingyuan's bed. His figure was as straight as a pine tree, but the air pressure around him was terrifyingly low. He stared at the "unconscious" woman on the bed without blinking. Her face, which usually had a certain lively look, was now pale and bloodless.
In the corner, Bai Jiaojiao knelt on the cold floor tiles, shaking like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
Today, she was the only one who went to Hibiscus Garden, only her!
This basin of dirty water was poured down on her head, and she had no choice but to admit it.
Her head was buzzing, and her first reaction was that Song Qingyuan was plotting something again, deliberately setting up a trap to frame her!
But as soon as this thought came up, she suppressed it herself.
No, that doesn't make sense.
She had just told Song Qingyuan something concerning the lives of the Song family's young and old.
It can be regarded as indirectly saving the entire Song family. No matter how much of a good-for-nothing Song Qingyuan is, he wouldn't use this Seven Injury Fist to harm her just after he got such a huge benefit, right?
If this were to be discovered, Song Qingyuan would be in big trouble.
Just when everyone was having different thoughts and the atmosphere in the hall was so heavy that it seemed like water was about to drip out, the steward who was sent to check finally hurried over with an old doctor.
After checking, the old doctor picked up a little black powder from the medicine residue, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and his face suddenly changed.
"Your Highness, this... this is the powder of blood-withered grass!"
As soon as the three words "Blood-dried Grass" came out, the temperature in the hall seemed to drop a few degrees.
Shen Yanzhi's eyes suddenly became sharp, sweeping over the unopened packets of medicine on the table.
The steward hurried forward and reported carefully, "Your Highness, these medicines...are the tranquilizers you personally delivered to Hibiscus Garden the other day and asked Song to take on time."
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Shen Yanzhi's heart hard.
Did he deliver it personally?
He personally delivered this deadly poison to her?
Shen Yanzhi only felt a chill running from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head. He could even clearly recall the scene of the day before.
He handed her the medicine and told her to take good care of herself. She smiled with her eyes curved and agreed obediently.
How ironic!
What he thought was his utmost care and concern actually pushed her into the abyss with his own hands.
As for Song Qingyuan, thanks to the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, her body had already recovered and she had never touched the tranquilizer.
Every time, I would just let Perilla pretend to cook in the small kitchen, let the medicinal juice boil, and then quietly pour it into the flowers when no one was paying attention.
"Qi Ming!" Shen Yanzhi's voice was icy, and no emotion could be heard. "Go, invite the palace doctor to come to me."
He said the word "please" very seriously, with an oppressive feeling of impending storm.
Qi Ming took the order and left, but less than an incense stick of time later, he came back like a gust of wind, with an unprecedented panic on his face.
"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened!"
He fell to his knees with a thud, his voice trembling.
"The court physician... the court physician has hanged himself in his room!"
Shen Yanzhi stood up suddenly, and the chair was pulled backward with a sharp sound.
Qi Ming lowered his head even lower and added hastily, completely cutting off all clues.
"All his family members disappeared overnight."
