"Okay, the Ai family is fine, you go back to rest first, there is a shadow girl here to take care of this business." The queen mother looked at Concubine Rou and said again.
"Well, the concubine will go back first." Concubine Rou then slowly got up, said respectfully, then turned to Meng Fuying, and said worriedly, "You stay here with the queen mother, be careful take care of."
"Yes, Fu'er knows." Meng Fuying replied in a low voice, she would naturally take good care of the Queen Mother, so why should someone tell her.
"Lan Mei, what happened to Qing Zhu?" After Concubine Rou left, Meng Fuying asked Lan Mei. Lan Mei knew about Qing Zhu's identity and didn't tell her at first, but Qing Zhu used to serve the queen mother in the palace. , I was with her every day, Lan Mei was so clever that she discovered the flaw, so it was not good to hide it from her anymore, but fortunately, she was a girl whom the queen mother trusted.
"Princess Hui, Qingzhu was attacked by someone last night and was seriously injured." Lan Mei said with a heavy face, seeing that there were no outsiders anymore, and she no longer tried to hide it.
The Empress Dowager obviously didn't know about it yet. When she heard Lan Mei's words, she said in surprise, "No wonder I didn't see her, so she was injured."
There was also a little more worry in the voice, and then his face darkened, and he said coldly, "In this palace, since you dare to hurt people, you are really brave. However, I dare not investigate this matter clearly. After all, Qingzhu That girl..."
Meng Fuying's heart sank slightly, yes, now Qingzhu is pretending to be a genius doctor, if someone goes to investigate carefully, if something is found out, some things will be hard to explain, no wonder Lan Meihui lied that it was Qingzhu who fell and injured herself.
It's just that today's incident is too coincidental. Last night, Qingzhu was severely injured by someone, and today the Queen Mother 'fallen' while basking in the sun in the yard.
At this moment, Meng Fuying became even more suspicious that the Queen Mother was not really just asleep. There must be something wrong with it.
"Grandma Huang, think about it carefully. When you were in the yard in the morning, did you feel uncomfortable, even if it was very subtle." Meng Fuying looked straight at the Queen Mother, with a serious expression on her face. asked.
The queen mother also frowned slightly, as if she was remembering, but after a while, she shook her head slightly, and said softly, "No, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but I felt warm and comfortable in the sun. , and slowly fell asleep."
"In the morning, when the Empress Dowager was in the yard, did anyone else come, and did anything happen?" Meng Fuying thought for a moment, then turned to Lan Mei, her face becoming more solemn.
The more so, the more worried she became.
"No, in the morning some ladies came to greet the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager said that she was going to bask in the sun, and the servants helped the Queen Mother to the front yard. The servants stayed by the Queen Mother's side all the time. Anything." Lan Mei replied carefully, her brow feathers were also somewhat dignified.
"Take me to the yard to have a look." Meng Fuying stood up suddenly and walked outside, and Lan Mei followed her again and again.
When I came to the front yard, there was a chaise longue chair in the middle. It was the chair that the Empress Dowager lay on in the morning. I thought that the Empress Dowager had fainted before, so I didn't have time to take it away.
Meng Fuying walked forward quickly and carefully observed everything around her, but she didn't find anything unusual, so her brows were tightly furrowed.
"When the ladies came to pay their respects, what happened?" Meng Fuying thought of what Lan Mei said just now, could it have something to do with the ladies who came to this courtyard after they came to pay their respects?
"No, Concubine Rou came here a little early today, she said she had something to leave the palace, oh, yes, she said she was going to King Yi's mansion, so she invited Ann and left, the empresses came later Yes, Concubine Ming and Concubine Liu came together, and Concubine Mei came last." Lan Mei replied slowly while recalling, paused slightly, and added again, "It's about the same as usual. It’s all like this, isn’t it different?”
Meng Fuying's brows were furrowed even tighter. In other words, those concubines didn't dare to do anything in Heshou Palace, and they didn't have that motive.
The queen mother usually treats them equally, without the slightest favoritism, and has always been extremely kind, and it is impossible to have any grudges with them.
"By the way, did Concubine Rou say what's the matter with going to Prince Yi's mansion?" Meng Fuying suddenly asked again.
What is Concubine Rou going to Yi Wang's Mansion so early? I remembered again, what she said to Xuanyuan Ye? What exactly does that mean?
Xuanyuan Ye went out because of something urgent. She originally wanted to ask Concubine Rou, but the **** suddenly came to send a message saying that the Queen Mother was not feeling well, and then she returned to the palace with Concubine Rou. Didn't you say anything to her?
"Concubine Rou didn't say what was the matter." Lan Mei thought again, and then said in a low voice.
Meng Fuying froze for a moment, but didn't tell the Queen Mother? What the **** is that?
Let's wait for Xuanyuan Ye to come back and ask him. Since the one who returned to the palace followed, and Concubine Rou stayed here for so long in Heshou Palace and didn't talk to her, it is impossible for her to ask Concubine Rou now, and, She is not worried about the Queen Mother now.
Because she didn't find any clues, Meng Fuying could only walk back to the room slowly, and Lan Mei also slowly followed behind her.
It was almost noon at this moment, under the scorching sun, a little sweat was oozing from her body, Meng Fuying subconsciously wiped the sweat from her forehead.
At this moment, she is facing the sun with her back. Although it is almost noon, there is still a very short shadow in front of her. Because she is wiping sweat, she stops slightly.
Lan Mei behind her has been lowering her eyes slightly, wondering what she is thinking.
Didn't seem to see Meng Fuying stop, and almost bumped into Meng Fuying's body, Lan Mei stopped again and again, shrinking back.
Logically, there is nothing strange about this. Lan Mei is a martial arts practitioner, and her reaction is very fast. When she finds that she is about to meet Meng Fuying, such a reaction is also normal.
It's just that Meng Fuying didn't turn around at this moment, she just saw Lan Mei's shadow in front of her, and seeing that shadow flicker just now, her eyes sank slightly.
It stands to reason that Lan Mei knows best about the queen mother, but in the end, Lan Mei didn't know anything. It seemed that she answered very comprehensively, but in fact, she answered that she didn't know anything.
Lan Mei has been waiting in the palace for so many years, and she is also a martial artist, so her reaction must be faster than ordinary people, and her observation skills must be sharper than ordinary people.
If something really happened to the queen mother, it is impossible for Lan Mei not to notice at all.
Could it be that the queen mother is really so innocent just falling asleep?
However, if the queen mother really just fell asleep, how could Yilanmei mistakenly think that the queen mother fainted after so many years of experience in taking care of the queen mother, and even alarmed the emperor, calling for the imperial doctor?
Lan Mei is the closest person to the Queen Mother, isn't it?
But when I think about it, Lan Mei has been with the Queen Mother for so many years, she has always been loyal to the Queen Mother, and she is deeply liked by the Queen Mother. People, and it has been used for so many years.
Or, it's just that she's overthinking.
"How is it? Did you find anything?" The queen mother asked a little worried when she saw Meng Fuying coming in and seeing Meng Fuying's preoccupied look.
"No." Meng Fuying slowly shook her head.
"Okay, nothing happened at first, maybe Ai's family fell asleep just now, and that girl Lan Mei got anxious before waking Ai's family up, and ended up making a fuss, you, don't take it to heart "The Queen Mother didn't want to make Meng Fuying worry too much, so she said with a light smile.
"En." Meng Fuying nodded slightly in response, but in her heart, she still couldn't let it go, even if the Queen Mother really fell asleep, what about Qingzhu, how to explain Qingzhu's injury last night.
If Qingzhu was not injured today, she should have been by the queen mother's side at that time.
"Grandma Huang, I'm going to see Qingzhu." She was really worried about not knowing how Qingzhu was injured, and if Qingzhu was injured, she might not dare to ask the imperial doctor, so she went to have a look.
"Well, that's fine, go and have a look, it means mourning the family." The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, and then ordered.
Lan Mei, who was standing on the side, had always lowered her eyes, but after Meng Fuying's words, she quickly raised her head, and said eagerly, "My maidservant, go with the princess."
"No need, just let Hong'er stay with you, you stay and take care of the Queen Mother." Meng Fuying frowned slightly, and then said in a deep voice.
Hong'er is also dedicated to serving the Queen Mother, but she doesn't know martial arts.
"Yes." Lan Mei couldn't say anything more, so she could only answer in a low voice.
Meng Fuying went out of the inner room, called Hong'er who was standing outside, and went to the Imperial Medical Center.
"See the princess." Meng Fuying is the daughter of the Hou Wangfu, and has always been favored by the queen mother, so she often goes to and from the palace, so the imperial doctors naturally recognize her.
And the news that Xuanyuan Ye brought her back to the palace had already spread yesterday, so when several imperial physicians saw her, they rushed forward to salute.
"Everyone get up, there is no need to be polite. The queen mother was a little worried when she heard that the genius doctor had fallen and injured, so she asked me to come and see." Meng Fuying said in a deep voice, without showing any strangeness on her calm face.
Qingzhu was injured in this imperial medical hall, no one knows who did it, and it is not clear whether that person is still hiding here.
"Back to the princess, the genius doctor really fell hard this time, he was lying on the bed and couldn't move. Several imperial doctors had visited him and wanted to show him, but he refused desperately. Heaven will be fine." An imperial doctor said flatteringly when he heard Meng Fuying's words.
"Well, since he won't let you see it, forget it. After all, he is a miracle doctor himself and knows his injuries best. You all step back, and I will go in and have a look." Meng Fuying said slowly again, but her heart was full of pain. Knowing Qingzhu's thoughts, she was afraid that her identity would be exposed and cause trouble for her.
"Yes." Those imperial physicians responded one after another, and then retreated.
"Hong'er, go follow the imperial physician to get some medicine for falling injuries." When approaching Qingzhu's room, Meng Fuying suddenly said to Hong'er that she brought Hong'er just for convenience, but she couldn't let Hong'er know about Qingzhu's Identity, now she is more and more worried about the things in the palace, it seems that there are conspiracy hidden everywhere, she can't trust anyone too much.
"Oh." Hong'er replied softly, and then went to get the medicine for falling injuries.
Meng Fuying entered Qingzhu's room, quickly closed the door, and walked to the bed. When Qingzhu saw her, she was slightly startled, and whispered, "Master, why are you here?"
"Let's see, where is the injury? How is the injury?" Seeing her pale face, Meng Fuying couldn't help but feel more worried, and said hastily.
"Master, Qingzhu is fine." Qingzhu tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and said slowly, but there was a bit of weakness in that voice.
Meng Fuying lifted her quilt directly, saw the blood oozing from her abdomen, and was even more frightened. She tore off her clothes again and again, and couldn't help but twitched when she saw the horrific wound. in one breath.
This girl, don't die. She said she was fine after being injured like this. Her wound is long and deep. If she is not treated in time, her life will be in danger at any time.
And she simply bandaged it, and the blood didn't even stop, and the blood was constantly oozing from the bandage.
Fortunately, she already knew that she was injured, so she brought medicine for the knife wound, and she quickly treated Qingzhu's wound, stopped the bleeding, and then quickly bandaged it up.
Then he whispered, "Don't move around, I will come back tomorrow to change your medicine."
"Thank you, master." Qingzhu said gratefully.
"If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been hurt." Seeing Qingzhu's gratitude, Meng Fuying felt even more guilty. She originally wanted Qingzhu to lure the person behind him, but she didn't expect that that person was so powerful. He actually injured Qingzhu like this.
"Is the master going to kill Qingzhu? How can you blame the master for this? Last night, Qingzhu was aware of it and knew that the person had entered the room, but she didn't even avoid the person's move. It is indeed powerful, but Qingzhu is afraid of alarming the people in the palace, so he dare not speak out." Qingzhu said repeatedly, talking about what happened last night, his face was still full of fear.
"If that person wanted to kill Qing Zhu, it would be a piece of cake, but he just stabbed Qing Zhu with a sword and then left." Qing Zhu frowned slightly, and said in a slightly puzzled manner.
Meng Fuying couldn't help being stunned, since that adventurer made a move, why did he just stab Qingzhu? What is the purpose of that man?
Is it taken into account, or is there another purpose?
"Have you noticed any characteristics of that person?" Meng Fuying thought for a moment, then asked again in a deep voice.
"The man was dressed in black, his face was covered, so he couldn't see his face." Qingzhu said slowly while thinking, and suddenly remembered something, his eyes flashed, and said anxiously, "The man's body is a little slender, Appears to be a woman."
"Woman?" Meng Fuying's eyes sank, a woman? For some reason, Lan Mei suddenly flashed in her mind.
"Did you hurt her?" Meng Fuying stared straight at her, her face more serious.
"Qingzhu's sword touched her shoulder at that time, but Qingzhu's hand was stabbed by her sword before she had time to exert force. In the darkness, I couldn't see clearly. I don't know if it hurt her or not?" Qingzhu thought again and said.
Meng Fuying's eyes flashed again. Earlier, when Lan Mei was behind her, she saw from the shadow that Lan Mei's shoulders seemed to stiffen slightly when she stepped back.
"Did Lan Mei visit you in the morning?" Meng Fuying asked again pretending to be casual.
"In the beginning, it was only a little maid who came, saying that the queen mother had fainted, and let Qingzhu pass. Qingzhu could only say that she had fallen and injured herself, and she couldn't make it through. Later, Lan Mei came over and found out that Qingzhu was seriously injured, and then invited the imperial doctor In the past." Qingzhu didn't know Meng Fuying's intentions, but just told her what happened in the morning.
Meng Fuying thought about it, and felt that there was nothing suspicious about it. Lan Mei had actually been here, so she naturally knew about Qingzhu's injury.
"Well, I see, you take care of it first, and I will send someone to bring you food later." Meng Fuying concealed the doubts in her heart, and said lightly.
At this time, Hong'er had already brought over the medicine for falling injuries, but when she walked over, a slight blush appeared on her face, and she said in a low voice, "Do you want me to help the genius doctor to apply the medicine?"
While speaking, his eyes slightly looked at Qingzhu, his face became redder and shy.
Meng Fuying was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly. Could it be that this girl is interested in Qingzhu, so she said in a deep voice, "No need, you can rub the medicine on the injury of the genius doctor, you go back with me Bar."
"Oh." Hong'er replied softly, as if she was slightly relieved, but there seemed to be a trace of disappointment in her voice.
Meng Fuying shook her head secretly, this girl, really...
When she returned to Heshou Palace, it was already time for meal, and the queen mother saw her go back, so she ordered someone to pass the meal.
The Empress Dowager's appetite is not bad, she eats about the same as usual, nothing unusual.
After lunch, Lan Mei brought up the queen mother's medicine, and Meng Fuying took it, but when she was about to hand it to the queen mother, her eyes suddenly sank.
There is a problem with this medicine.
At first glance, there is not much difference in the color and taste, and ordinary people will certainly not be able to see any difference.
However, she is extremely proficient in these things, and immediately discovered the strangeness inside.
This medicine has been replaced with a different one. It was originally a nourishing medicine, but it was replaced with a cold medicine. In this way, it will not be beneficial to the Queen Mother’s body, but harmful. If it is taken for a long time, I am afraid...
Meng Fuying's hand holding the medicine tightened, and her heart was secretly frightened.
who is it? Such a bold change of the Queen Mother's medicine?
This medicine was originally in charge of Qingzhu. From the preparation of the medicine to the boiling of the medicine, it was all made of Qingzhu, but today Qingzhu was injured, so the medicine must not be boiled by Qingzhu.
"Did you get this medicine from the imperial physician today?" Meng Fuying fanned the medicine lightly, making a movement to let the medicine cool down quickly, and asked Lan Mei casually.
"No, Qingzhu caught it yesterday. Every time Qingzhu catches the medicine, you can drink it for three days. Today Qingzhu was injured, and the medicine was boiled by a servant." Lan Mei lowered her eyes slightly and answered in a low voice.
It was caught by Qingzhu!
Yesterday, she also saw the Queen Mother's medicine, and there was nothing wrong with it, which proves that Qingzhu didn't grab the wrong medicine.
Lan Mei boiled the medicine, did she change the medicine? Or was the medicine changed before?
"En." Meng Fuying responded lightly, then seemed to suddenly remember something, and said again, "By the way, Qingzhu hasn't eaten yet, you go and bring her some food."
"Okay." Lan Mei raised her eyes this time and answered extremely quickly.
After Lan Mei left, Meng Fuying quietly poured the medicine into the flowers outside the window. Originally, some leftover medicine residues were also poured there, so no one would notice anything unusual.
"Fu'er, what are you doing?" The queen mother looked at her in astonishment when she saw her movements.
"There's something wrong with this medicine." Meng Fuying turned around and looked at the Queen Mother, and said solemnly.
The Empress Dowager was even more astonished, and her face slowly sank. There was a bit of thought in her eyes, but she didn't say anything more.
"Emperor's medicine, Ying'er will boil it for you again, but don't get angry about this matter, don't startle the snake." Meng Fuying said in a low voice again, if there is something wrong with the medicine, then the person who made the medicine The suspicion is the greatest.
I believe that the queen mother has also thought of this.
So, after Lan Mei came back, the Queen Mother didn't say anything.
Because Meng Fuying was afraid that there might be problems with the evening medicine, she didn't dare to go back early, she wanted to wait for dinner and check the Queen Mother's medicine before leaving.
The strange thing is that the medicine at night has no problem again. I don't know if the person noticed something.
Since the medicine was gone, Meng Fuying was just about to go back, but at this moment, a little maid came over to send a message, saying that His Highness sent someone to inform the princess that he would not return to the palace tonight, so she asked the princess to rest in Heshou Palace.
"En." Meng Fuying responded in a low voice, but a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips, she suddenly understood what Xuanyuanye said to her last night...
After thinking about what he said, and thinking about what happened today, I suddenly had an answer in my heart...
