Although there were four female dependents in the palace, since returning to Yanzhou, Song Chen no longer went to stay elsewhere, and came to Wantang Garden every night.

Of course, Danweiyuan's tonic soup is also delivered on time every day, she no longer refuses, and drinks it directly in front of the visitor every time, and then turns around, and involuntarily vomits it all again.

For seven days, Yanling looked very distressed, but she was helpless. I know that I put something harmful, but whoever I replace it with will not be able to drink it.

But also thanks to this discovery, the three masters and servants were more vigilant, since the soup can be drugged, it is difficult to ensure the safety of other diets. Song Chen has been busy with the affairs of Tongji Canal recently, and he leaves early in the morning and comes when he is about to go to bed, so Chu Xue's three meals a day are used in her own yard, and Ruyue is responsible for her food safety, as long as she does not make it herself, before she enters, Ruyue will carefully check it first.

So on this day, something was found.

The tofu in Yanzhou is good, Chu Xue loves to eat it, but the vegetarian roasted tofu sent from the dining room at lunch that day, Ruyue didn't let her move her chopsticks.

"Is there something wrong?"

Closing the door, she looked at Ruyue.

"It's not normal for the slave to smell it." Ruyue put down her chopsticks before and tasted the tofu carefully, still frowning, but she couldn't be sure of anything, so she had to shake her head.

Yan Ling on the side laughed, "Yue'er, shouldn't you be greedy, you want to eat yourself, right?" ”

Ruyue glanced at her and said to herself, "I always feel that something is not right......

Suddenly, I saw her squinting, dipped her in the juice with chopsticks, tasted it carefully, and finally her eyes lit up, and she affirmed: "It's peach blossoms, there are peach blossoms in this juice." ”

Chu Xue and Yan Ling were both shocked, and Chu Xue asked, "Peach blossoms?" Are you sure? Why can't I smell peach blossoms? ”

Ruyue nodded, "Definitely, they have made the peach blossoms colorless and odorless and ground into powder, of course they can't smell it." If you don't taste it carefully, it's hard for the average person to notice. ”

Chu Xue has been dissatisfied with peach blossoms since she was a child, she was ignorant when she was young, and when the peach blossoms bloomed in spring, she would often break a few branches to play, but once she touched it, she would definitely have a rash within a few hours, painful and itchy, and once she played too strictly, she had a rash all over her body, and she had a fever for three days. Later, when she had a long memory, she didn't dare to touch it, and since then she has been particularly sensitive to the smell of peach blossoms.

But this time she didn't notice it, but Ruyue has a doctor's unique sense of smell and taste, and knows about her lesion, so it is not surprising that she noticed it.

Since Ruyue was so sure, Chu Xue immediately believed it.

At the family banquet on the day she just came back, she told the public that she couldn't touch the peach blossoms, and Song Chen also specially instructed the kitchen to pay attention, so what is the purpose of this dish now?

Do you have to thicken it with peach blossom pollen?

Who is it that wants to hurt her like this?

She frowned slightly.

Xu Jinhe?

At present, I only know that she has bad intentions, but since she has already sent that sterilized soup every day, why did she do more?

Or is it Xia Wanyin, who was most directly taken away from her favor?

In the three years from Xia Wanyin's entry into the mansion to Song Chen's departure to the capital, only she had the most of the three ladies in the mansion, but since Chu Xue arrived, Song Chen never lingered elsewhere, and for Xia Wanyin, she was naturally the most hit.

Even...... Li Jiaoyun, who is in the same position as himself, will he?

Who can instruct the dining room to harm itself by such covert and direct means?

She couldn't be sure for a moment.

As the last female dependent to enter the mansion, her maiden family in the capital is thousands of miles away, and there are only Yanling and Ruyue, two maids who still need to hide themselves, she is really fragile.

Chu Xue sighed deeply, but saw Yanling pick up the plate of vegetarian roasted tofu and go out.

"What are you going to do?" She hurriedly stopped.

"Since it's poisonous, and you can't complain to the prince clearly, you can only pour it out, do you want to watch Miss you poisoned?" Yan Ling frowned and said resentfully.

Yanling's words made her pause first, and then smiled, "Who said you can't sue?" She motioned for Yanling to put the food back on the table, and then asked Ruyue, "How much is the amount, and how strict will I be if I eat it?" ”

Ruyue scooped a spoonful of the peach blossom pollen juice, looked at it carefully, put it in her mouth and tasted it, and then replied: "According to the amount of food you eat, Miss, in addition to the rash all over the body, high fever, you will probably fall into asthma...... It's going to take a hard time. ”

Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, if she really hated her so much, if she suffered from asthma, she would never be cured for the rest of her life......

In the middle of the night, she also picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful into her mouth, "Since someone wants me to be unhappy, let them get their wish once......"

"Miss......" Yanling and Ruyue exclaimed in unison, wanting to stop it, but she had already swallowed it.

She looked at the two maids and continued: "But it doesn't take too much, just mean it, Yue'er, you go and prepare some medicine for rashes first." Yanling, go and see where the prince is in the afternoon, and when I get sick, I can go and ask someone. ”

Seeing them standing still, she smiled and explained, "Aren't you worried about drinking that tonic soup every day, this vegetarian roasted tofu came at the right time." ”

The two paused for a moment, immediately understood, and went their separate ways.

Sure enough, about an hour later, Chu Xue had a rash on her body, and she also had a low-grade fever.

Ruyue took the pulse for her, and made sure that she would not be strict anymore and let go in the future.

Yan Ling's side rushed to the study in the front yard of the palace.

The front yard of the Hengwang Mansion.

Lu Fang was patrolling outside the study when he saw a girl in a goose yellow shirt running over in a hurry.

"Who?"

The young guard spoke coldly.

"Lord Lu, I am Yanling of Wantang Garden, our wife is sick, sick...... It's a little strict, I'm here to ask the prince to come over and have a look......"

Yan Ling gasped and replied.

Lu Fang fixed his eyes and recognized that the beautiful girl with a pear vortex at the corner of her mouth in front of him was indeed from Wantang Garden, so he replied: "That girl is waiting here, I'll pass it on." ”

So saying, he went up the stone steps and entered the study.

After a while, Song Chen walked out of the study quickly and came to Yanling.

"What's wrong with Cher?" He frowned.

"Back to the prince, Miss her, she was uncomfortable after resting, saying that she had a rash on her body, and now she is covering herself in the quilt, not letting the slaves and maids get close, and refusing to ask for a doctor, the slaves and maids are in a hurry, so I have to ask you to go over and have a look......"

Yan Ling didn't finish her words, she only felt a cool breeze in front of her, and when she looked at it again, Song Chen had already left herself behind and walked forward quickly.

Wantang Garden.

When Song Chen arrived, the slaves and maids in the outer room knelt on the ground, but the bed tent in the inner room was put down, and Ruyue was standing on the side, looking anxious. Seeing Song Chen come in, the maidservants in the room obeyed in unison: "Lord Wang......"

"Miss, the prince is here!"

Yanling followed Song Chen into the house and called into the bed tent.

"Lord Wang?" Chu Xue's voice came from behind the tent.

"Cher, what's wrong with you?" Song Chen looked anxious and came to the bed.

"Lord Wang? Why is the prince here? Yanling, isn't it possible to alarm the prince? How do you ......"

Behind the bed tent, the beauty seemed to cry.

"Why don't you alarm this king? What the hell is wrong with you? Let the king see. Song Chen said that he was going to open the bed tent.

But the bed tent was dragged by the beauty inside, and said urgently: "Don't, don't look at the prince, the concubine is nothing, you go and get busy, don't worry about the concubine." ”

But where could Song Chen still think that she was fine, the more she said this, the more worried he became, and he hurriedly pulled the bed tent hard, "Obedient, let this king see, hurry up." ”

However, Chu Xue was surprisingly stubborn today, dragging the bed tent to prevent him from opening it, and began to sobbed quietly, "Lord, the concubine is fine, the concubine really doesn't want you to see it, the concubine is ...... now It's ugly, I don't want to show you......"

This was the first time he heard her cry, Song Chen immediately softened, but he was really worried, so he had to coax patiently: "How can Xue'er be ugly?" Well, let me see, how can you do it with such a sullen ...... I'm really worried! ”

Seeing that he called himself "I" in front of his subordinates, the beauty in the tent sobbed alone for a while, and said, "Then the prince will tell them to go out first...... The concubine body is only for you to see. ”

"Okay, okay." Song Chen immediately waved behind him.

The maids kneeling on the ground, along with Ruyue Yanling, immediately retreated, and in the blink of an eye, only the two of them were left in the room.

"Xue'er, they're all gone, you open the tent and let me see." Song Chen called her softly.

I saw that the bed tent that had been tightly pulled just now was relaxed, and a mouth was opened.

Song Chen gently lifted it away, and saw the beauty sitting on the bed in pajamas, the beauty's long hair hanging down like a black cloak wrapped her weak body, her snow-white face was full of tears, and a pair of misty black eyes were looking at him aggrievedly, which made people feel distressed.

"What's the matter, isn't this still beautiful, what's ugly?" Song Chen sat down on the edge of the bed, wanting to shake her hand.

She retracted suddenly, "No, it's not on your face yet, it's all on your body now." ”

As he shook his head, tears kept falling.

"Then show me." He looked directly into her dark eyes, and there was an irresistible majesty in his tone.

She sobbed twice more before she slowly stretched out one of her arms, revealing a snow-white forearm, but she saw that there were many red rashes scattered like stars on her originally smooth and flawless skin.

Song Chen's eyebrows frowned, she quickly withdrew her hand and pulled the quilt to cover herself.

"Does it hurt?" He asked distressedly.

"Hmm." She sobbed and nodded, "It's like when I was a child, I touched the peach blossoms, that's ......"

"Peach blossoms?" He suddenly remembered what she had mentioned a few days ago about her disobedience to peach blossoms, "Did you touch peach blossoms?" But...... It's late autumn now, where are the peach blossoms? ”

"The concubine hasn't touched it......" she shook her head and cried again, "The concubine was fine in the morning, but she was a little uncomfortable after lunch, and when she woke up, she had a rash all over her body, and now it's like this, it's ugly ......."

Withholding sobs accompanied by a slightly hoarse voice, Song Chen's heart was tightly gripped, this was the first time she had seen her cry, she used to always smile to herself brightly or gently, but now, she was crying so sadly, so aggrieved...... He reached out and pulled her into his arms, wanting to comfort her with his own arms, but the moment she entered his arms, he felt an abnormal warmth.

She also had a fever!

He immediately called out the door: "Go and call the house doctor!" ”

"Yes." Immediately a maid answered.

"Little fool, if you are sick, you are not allowed to call the doctor, if Yanling does not come to me today, you will hold yourself until night?"

He hugged the beauty in his arms, gently and distressedly reproached, and did not forget to pull the quilt to wrap her when he spoke, for fear that she would be cold again.

"The concubine doesn't want others to see such an ugly appearance, and she doesn't want the prince to see it......" She obediently lay in his arms, stopped sobbing, and murmured softly.

"Where will it be ugly, it will not be ugly at all......"

Song Chen was comforting softly, and he heard the message of the maid outside the door, "Lord Wang, the house doctor is here." ”

"Enter."

"Yes."

The one who came in response was the palace doctor in the palace, Liao Zhong.

Seeing the house doctor come in, Song Chen got up to give up the position in front of the bed, and Chu Xue lay down again, revealing only one bare hand through the heavy bed tent.

Liao Zhong concentrated on her pulse.

She lay in the bed tent, waiting for the results of Liao Zhong's diagnosis while secretly thinking to herself.

She has been taking the child avoidance medicine for a few days, and with Liao Zhong's medical skills for more than 20 years, she should be able to diagnose it, so will he report it to Song Chen?

It's a good opportunity to test people.

Since he has drunk Xu Jinhe's tonic soup every day, it is natural that there are ingredients in his body to avoid children, and once Song Chen knows, he will definitely check it, so can the tonic soup escape?

If Liao Zhong reported truthfully, then he would not be Xu Jinhe's person.

On the other hand, if he is Xu Jinhe's person, he must know that there are brassica seeds in the soup, then he will definitely not report it, but will ...... Conceal.

After carefully diagnosing half a cup of tea, Liao Zhong finally got up after asking her about some specific medical history and symptoms, and said respectfully to Song Chen: "Lord Wang, madam, I'm afraid this is...... The disease enters from the mouth. ”

Song Chen was taken aback, "What do you say?" ”

Liao Zhong explained, "Judging from the symptoms of the appearance of the lady, it is indeed tinea chinisis caused by peach blossoms, but the low-grade fever inside is from the inside. ”

Seeing Song Chen frowning, Yan Ling immediately pretended to question, "But Miss didn't eat anything today except for two meals and that bowl of tonic soup?" Besides, we never use anything with peach blossoms around us, so how can we eat it by mistake? ”

Song Chen's brows furrowed deeply.

"Could it be...... Did you accidentally misplace the peach blossoms in the dining room? It's not right, the dining room has long known that the young lady can't touch the peach blossoms, and the prince has specially told him, how could he put it wrong? Besides, if it was really released, why didn't Miss taste it? ”

Yan Ling pretended to be very puzzled and asked questions again and again.

Just as Yanling was looking at herself and questioning, Ruyue had been quietly observing Liao Zhong's expression, but there didn't seem to be anything abnormal.

"So how do you solve it now?" After listening to Yanling's words, Song Chen came back to his senses and asked Liao Zhong.

"The old slave prescribed some decoction for Mrs. to clear the heat and dissolve the table, and Mrs. took it on time and rested a lot. After two or three days, Madame should be able to recover. ”

Liao Zhong's answer relieved Song Chen, and he raised his hand and said, "Then go and prepare." ”

"Yes."

"Mr. Stay......"

Liao Zhong was about to raise his feet, but was stopped by Chu Xue in the tent, "Dare to ask sir, apart from these, do I have any other questions?" ”

Liao Zhong was stunned, "Madame refers to ......"

"Ao, it's nothing, I see that I've been taking tonic soup for a few days, why hasn't my stomach moved? While you're here, I'll ask by the way. ”

Liao Zhong didn't have any extra words just now, Chu Xue was not sure, so he tried it himself.

"Uh...... Well, Mrs. doesn't have to be in a hurry, it will take some time to make up the soup into the body and enter the menstruation, Mrs. can wait patiently, your body is fine, please rest assured. ”

Chu Xue paused, "Okay, I know, I'm sorry for you." ”

"The old slave will go and prepare medicine for the lady first."

Liao Zhong went out of Wantang Garden.

The people in the tent already knew it, but they were also deeply chilled.
