Chapter 387: Concubine Shu Poisoned

Xiao Qin'er complained in front of Liu Yi.
"The couple in the second room must be greedy for money, less tens of thousands of taels."
Liu Yi was expressionless and ignored her.
She didn’t care about Liu Yi’s attitude, and continued to say to herself:
Last year you went to Jiangnan, but the father and concubine picked your fault everywhere and forced me to call out the silver. This year the second son went to Jiangnan, the father. Why don't you and the mother concubine pick his fault. This is obviously partiality."
Liu Yi said indifferently: "Mother and concubine cannot be partial to Liu Ping."
The second son is named Liu Ping.
Xiao Qin'er was angry and sat in front of Liu Yi, "Why didn't the mother pick the second son's fault? Why didn't the second sister-in-law hand over the money?"
Liu Yi looked at Xiao Qin'er as if he was mentally retarded, "Liu Ping brought back more than 200,000 taels of silver from Jiangnan. How did you let the mother and concubine find his fault? I spent half a year in Jiangnan and took a little hard work. It was the father's acquiescence."
"Why last year..."
"Don't mention last year."
Liu Yi's face suddenly cooled.
For Liu Yi, going to the south of the Yangtze River last year was a shame.
He used to be heartless, he didn't care.
But now, he can't care less.
Shame is shame, and one day it will be mentioned and used to attack him.
But he didn't want this to be said from Xiao Qin'er's mouth.
Xiao Qin'er looked stunned, her lips opened and closed, and finally she became weak, and said in a low voice, "I just don't want to get the money from the second room. Last year, we didn't get anything."
In fact, Liu Yi was greedy for a lot of money last year. But more than half is used to raise the outer room.
As a result, the outer room was sold by Xiao Qin'er before he was matured.
Liu Yi always had the answer to this matter. He believed that Xiao Qin'er moved his hand, and it was Xiao Qin'er who sent someone to abduct the outer chamber.
He was angry and hated at the beginning, but now everything is calm.
Time passed, and he could hardly remember the appearance of the outer room in less than a year.
Thinking about it now, he couldn't understand why he was so fascinated by the outer room at the beginning, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and time on her. Also turned over with Xiao Qin'er for this.
If I don't understand it, I can only explain it by being young, frivolous, and obsessive.
Liu Yi, who has become mature and rational, seems to lose his feelings. I am no longer obsessed with women as crazy as in the past.
Before, I kept thinking about taking a concubine, thinking about hugging left and right, but now it doesn't matter.
People are really strange.
My thoughts have changed, and my feelings have also changed.
Liu Yi looked at Xiao Qin'er and said calmly, "You don’t want that money, so why bother about it. I heard that my sister-in-law bought a large piece of land outside Nancheng Gate. Then you invest some money and make a fortune together. It's done."
Xiao Qin'er snorted, "You don't know what's going on outside the South City Gate. You can't tell if you can make money."
Liu Yi raised his eyebrows, "You mean not to invest money?"
Xiao Qin'er bit her lip, "It's not that I don't invest money, I want to see the situation first."
Liu Yiliang suggested,
If you want to invest money, make a decision quickly. Show enough trust in your sister-in-law to get closer to your relationship. Don’t wait until someone has made a little achievement before you just invest money and let people despise."
Xiao Qin'er was unhappy, "I can't get good enough if I take the money out."
Liu Yi laughed mockingly, "Is the sister-in-law sending you this money? It is she who is willing to take you to make money together, not that she has to ask for your money. You must figure out your position first."
"Where are you standing? What are you doing to help your sister-in-law?" Xiao Qin'er was very dissatisfied.
Liu Yi didn't get angry, but calmly said, "I remind you kindly, don't spend money, but didn't get a good word. Since you want to spend money, you have to spend the value."
Xiao Qin'er bit her lip and said impatiently: "I see."
"As long as you know."
Liu Yi picked up the book and prepared to go back to the study.
Xiao Qin'er grabbed him, "Where are you going?"
"Go back to the study." He said blankly.
Xiao Qin'er looked at him blankly, "Can't you stay?"
Liu Yi frowned, "Is your date today?"
puff!
Xiao Qin'er almost sprayed out a mouthful of blood.
She was pale.
The so-called days of Liu Yi are the days of sex.
In other words, he is only willing to stay overnight when he has sex.
As for other times, only willing to sleep in the study room.
Is this kind of life a married life?
Xiao Qin'er said, "I just want you to stay."
Liu Yi shook her head, broke her fingers, "Let me know on a good day."
Xiao Qin'er's heart was fluctuating, and she asked angrily, "Am I your wife? Liu Yi, are you interested?"
Liu Yi did not look back.
He was full of sarcasm, "I don't mind. Do you have the mind?"
Leaving this sentence, he decisively left the Shangfang.
"Liu Yi, you bastard."
Xiao Qin'er cried with anger.
...
In the morning, Xiao Qin'er appeared in front of everyone with a haggard face.
Today, everyone enters the palace together to greet the concubine Shu.
Ouyang Fu didn't want to miss the opportunity to enter the palace. So she went out with a big belly.
"Four siblings, did you sleep last night?"
Ouyang Fu asked concerned. Last night, she slept well and had sweet dreams.
Xiao Qin'er said blankly: "Thank you for your concern. Ersao must have had a good rest last night. She looked radiant early in the morning, and she was really refreshed during happy events."
Ouyang Fu pursed his lips and smiled, "My son is back, I am naturally happy. But the fourth son is with my younger siblings all day long, so my younger siblings should be happy every day."
Humph!
Which pot does not open and which pot.
Xiao Qin'er gritted her teeth deep in her heart, but calmly said on her face: "Second sister-in-law cares about our lives. Is it because of envy?"
Ouyang Fu laughed, "Four younger siblings are really good at talking and laughing. How could I be envious of you two ups and downs."
Xiao Qin'er's face changed, embarrassed.
Ouyang Fu was obviously laughing at her and Liu Yi quarreling for three days.
She took a deep breath, planning to go back.
Gu Jiu arrived at this time.
Ouyang Fu greeted him and got rid of Xiao Qin'er by the way.
"Sister-in-law finally came."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Is the mother concubine still up?"
"I've got up and I'm dressing up. Did my sister-in-law have breakfast?"
"Thank you for your concern. I have eaten. Did the second and fourth siblings eat?"
"I have eaten it. I wonder if the four younger siblings have eaten it?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Qin'er.
Xiao Qin'er grimaced, "I have eaten it, so please worry about it."
Ouyang Fu said in a small voice, "Don't be surprised, sister-in-law, the four younger siblings didn't sleep well last night, and I have a bad temper today."
Her voice was just right for Xiao Qin'er to hear.
Gu Jiu smiled suddenly, "A lot of people are getting up. I don't mind."
"Sister-in-law is still generous."
Xiao Qin'er bit her silver teeth. Did Ouyang Fu deliberately spread the news that she didn't sleep well last night?
If it wasn't for the fear that the other party was pregnant, she might rush up and tear the other party's mouth.
Gu Jiu didn't interfere with the contradiction between the two.
She didn't get too busy.
Besides, even if she intervenes, will others appreciate it?
After Pei's dressing, and a little bit of food, he took three daughters-in-law and Concubine Shen and Concubine Luo Bian into the palace to greet Concubine Shu.
...
Changchun Palace.
An incense burner was burning in the bedroom.
The faint fragrance is tangy, covering up the smell of medicine.
Concubine Xiao Shu lay on the bed to cultivate herself.
Gu Jiu followed Pei's back, and went to Please An.
After not seeing each other for a while, Consort Xiao Shu was obviously thin and old. There are more gray hairs on the head.
In the past, the well-maintained Concubine Xiao Shu, who couldn't see the specific age, had a wind chill that exposed her old state and exposed her true age.
"Please peace to the empress. Is the empress better?" Pei was very worried.
Concubine Xiao Shu coughed slightly and motioned to the maid to help her up and leaned on the bed.
"I entered the palace only two days ago, why are you here again today?"
Pei said hurriedly: "Daughter-in-law is not at ease, so she enters the palace to visit."
Concubine Xiao Shu waved her hand, "Nothing to worry about, this palace can't die."
"Daughter-in-law, please take care of your body."
Concubine Xiao Shu panted.
She has difficulty breathing and feels uncomfortable.
She looked at the three granddaughters and two concubines.
"You are all here! Sit down and talk."
The maid moved to the round stool, please take your seats.
Everyone followed the kindness and sat on the round stools upright.
Concubine Xiao Shu stared at Ouyang Fu's belly, "Is it about to give birth?"
Pei glanced at Ouyang Fu, and then said, "I will give birth in less than a month."
Concubine Xiao Shu was very happy, "My palace likes to hear the news about the import from the palace."
Her gaze turned to Gu Jiu.
"Is Gu Jiu still quiet?"
Gu Jiu lowered his eyebrows pleasingly, and said nothing.
Pei said for her: "Nothing has happened for the time being. Their little husband and wife have been together for the past two years, and it's no wonder her."
Gu Jiu was surprised that Pei would actually speak for her. Transformed?
Concubine Xiao Shu frowned slightly, "I should hurry up and give birth to one."
Seeing that Gu Jiu was silent, Pei gave her a look. Isn't it smart on weekdays? How come you have become a saw-mouthed gourd today.
Gu Jiu received the signal sent by Pei, bowed slightly, and said, "Granddaughter-in-law, please follow the instructions of your mother."
Concubine Xiao Shu coughed slightly, "You are the eldest daughter-in-law, and you should take up the heavy responsibilities. Don't let this palace down."
"Granddaughter-in-law does."
Concubine Xiao Shu said a few words and felt tired.
She panted, "When will the prince come back?"
Pei said hurriedly: "It is estimated that we will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year before we have a chance to return to Beijing."
"is it?"
Concubine Xiao Shu suddenly clutched her chest and coughed violently, frightening everyone.
"Manny, are you okay?"
Pei hurriedly got up and patted Concubine Xiao Shu on the back to relieve the cough.
Gu Jiu took the opportunity to step forward, clearly showing his filial piety, and was actually checking the pulse for Concubine Xiao Shu.
Huh?
This pulse condition is indeed a symptom of wind chill.
But she still felt something was wrong.
puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out and sprinkled on the fur quilt.
Concubine Xiao Shu vomited blood!
Concubine Xiao Shu actually vomited blood!
Didn't it mean wind chill?
Why does Fenghan vomit blood?
Pei was shocked and pale, "Hurry up and call a doctor, come on!"
Gu Jiu took out the handkerchief and wiped the blood on the corners of her mouth for Concubine Xiao Shu.
A plain handkerchief, dyed red with blood.
The imperial doctor hurried over carrying the medicine box.
The sleeping hall is full of people.
Gu Jiu took the opportunity to retreat to the corner, holding the handkerchief, sniffing carefully, distinguishing the smell.
She hopes to smell something in her blood.
If you can't smell it, just taste it.
Sure enough, there is a problem.
Gu Jiu's face changed drastically, and his heartbeat increased.
She stared at the imperial doctor in front of the bed, and then looked at the maid.
Eyes swept across everyone?
Where is the problem?
Concubine Xiao Shu was poisoned!
This is Gu Jiu's judgment.
Concubine Xiao Shu is not simply wind-cold, but the poisoning causes body weakness and weakened resistance, which will cause wind-cold.
When was the poison?
Where does the poison come from?
Where is the poison?
diet?
daily supplies?
Who is suspected?
Gu Jiu's brain was about to explode. Someone even poisoned Concubine Xiao Shu!
This is scary.
How does the poisoned person break through the heavy defenses and be unaware of it?
She put away her handkerchief and did not dare to say anything.
Liu Zhao is required for such a major event.
Because she couldn't explain, how could she know that Concubine Shu was poisoned? After all, even the imperial doctor has been concealed.
From the perspective of pulse and symptoms, it is indeed a common wind chill. The imperial physician did not find that the poisoning of Concubine Shu was normal.
If Concubine Shu suddenly vomited blood, she would have been concealed and almost misdiagnosed.
Gu Jiu's face was gloomy.
She had already confessed to Zhou Miao and wanted to keep Concubine Shu safe.
Zhou Miao took the money and didn't do anything. Did he want to cross the river to demolish the bridge?
At this moment, Gu Jiu was very irritable and vigilant.
Everyone in the Changchun Palace was very suspicious in her eyes.
Because she wanted to poison Concubine Shu without knowing it, only the people close to her could do it.
Because only close people can get close.
Concubine Xiao Shu drank the medicine and fell asleep.
Pei asked the imperial doctor nervously.
The imperial physician also frowned. Concubine Xiao Shu vomited blood suddenly, and they also bluffed.
It's just a cold, why is it so severe that he vomits blood?
After treatment for a long time, the cause was not found.
And judging from the pulse condition, there is no other major problem except for a weak body.
Facing Pei’s inquiry, the imperial physician had no choice but to answer in a panic,
Don’t worry, the princess, the wife’s condition has stabilized. Take a good rest, and she will soon be cured.

"really?"
Pei's face was serious.
The imperial doctor repeatedly assured.
Pei snorted, "Then tell this princess, why did the empress vomit blood?"
The imperial physician began to flicker, such as feeling depressed, worrying too much, and so on.
Anyway, any disease can be put on top of the mood.
Pei's doctor had no choice but to turn his face, so he could only send people away with a gloomy face.
She was very worried, worried that Concubine Xiao Shu had two shortcomings.
Once Concubine Xiao Shu has a case, bear the brunt, King Ning will not only lose his mother, but also lose the internal aid in the palace.
The emperor doesn't need to look at Concubine Xiao Shu's face anymore. The next time King Ning falls into the hands of the emperor, the consequences will be worrying.
All the people in the palace must observe filial piety, and so on.
More importantly, if Concubine Xiao Shu disappeared, it would mean a new power reshuffle.
Prince Ning's Mansion bears the brunt, and will be suppressed and eaten away by all forces.
This is a situation that no one wants to see.
Pei is very nervous, why is King Ning not in the capital at this time?
If King Ning is there, she still has a backbone.
Gu Jiu walked up to Pei's and reminded: "Mother concubine, you should send someone to notify the sons and tell them to enter the palace."
Pei woke up, "Yes, right, right, and quickly call Liu Zhao and Liu Yi into the palace."
When King Ning is absent, her son is her backbone.
Gu Jiu walked out of the sleeping hall and called Mother Fang.
"Is there any way for Mother to contact Zhou Miao?"
Madam Fang looked hesitant, "The slave and maidservant have been away from the palace for many years, and the palace has been cleaned several times. The maidservant can't guarantee that she can contact Grandpa Miao and Zhou last week."
Gu Jiu bit her lip and said, "Then find a way to contact Jiang Shuyi first. Let Jiang Shuyi inform Zhou Miao to come and see me."
She had to ask Zhou Miao personally to protect Concubine Shu. How is it protected?
Concubine Shu was poisoned, this is definitely not easy.
Madam Fang responded, "The maidservant tried to contact Jiang Shuyi."
Mother Fang took more than a dozen purses from Qingmei, which contained silver bills. Then she left the Changchun Palace, looked for past relationships, and tried to contact Jiang Shuyi.
...
The two brothers, Liu Zhao and Liu Yi, hurried to the palace after receiving the news that Empress Shu vomited blood.
Seeing the two sons, Pei said anxiously: "Hurry up and write to your father, and in any case, tell him to return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Liu Yi said hurriedly: "Please stay calm, mother and concubine. Father must get permission from the emperor and grandfather to return to Beijing."
Pei said sternly: "Then go and beg your Majesty. Your brothers go together. The empress is so ill, in case of an accident, the prince must return to Beijing immediately."
Liu Zhao said: "The son will go to the emperor's grandfather. What is the situation with the empress now?"
Pei's face turned pale with worry, "The imperial doctor can't tell."
Liu Zhao frowned. Isn't it the wind and cold? How can you not be clear?
Pei urged the two brothers, "Don't worry about it, go and see your Majesty."
Liu Yichao looked at Liu Zhao, "Brother, let's go to see the emperor's grandfather together."
Liu Zhao nodded and walked outside first.
Gu Jiu caught up, "Wait!"
"Sister-in-law has something to say, it is better to wait until we come back." Liu Yi was a little impatient.
Gu Jiu said, "Just a few words."
She pulled Liu Zhao to the side, and said with an ear: "The empress is poisoned, not cold."
Liu Zhao's expression sank, "Are you sure?"
Gu Jiu said affirmatively: "It's a mysterious poison, it's not visible on the outside. If it wasn't for the empress to vomit blood, I wouldn't find it."
"Is there a solution?"
"I will think of a way. You have to decide how to do this."
Liu Zhao nodded, "I have my own opinion on this matter."
