Chapter 36: The Invisible Killer
She paused at this point, and then moved closer to me, her voice was very low, but it was also very clear, "In this palace, it is not easy to live alone, but if you want to die alone, there will be many, many ways, and you will not notice it at all!" Even if you die, the prince will track it down, and there will be no progress! So, you should try to protect yourself! β
I have been with the Queen Mother for a year, and I already have my own set of methods for how to protect myself, but after she said this, I suddenly felt that the taste had changed.
I raised my eyebrows, glanced at her, and said, "Do you think you can really get away with it?" You may be a little naΓ―ve! β
She snorted coldly and pulled at her sleeve, which was embroidered with intricate patterns, but the material was not particularly precious. The expression on her face looked very natural, I don't know if she really doesn't care, or if she can pretend to be so good.
"Who is naΓ―ve! Anyway, my words are put here! You can do it for yourself! Don't think that if the prince spoils you, there will be no other women! You know, you're in this mansion, and you're nothing! β
After she said this, she left with Xiaoya. Looking at her departing back, my hands clenched tightly together, creaking.
In this life, the most annoying thing is that someone threatens me. I'm not going to let her succeed just like that.
Mo Yu walked in front of me at this moment, grabbed my sleeve without a trace, and said in a low voice: "Girl, don't be distracted by a moment of anger. You know, there's a lot more to do! Miss Fang Cai Ling said that the master is also in danger, so let's find a doctor to come and take a look! β
After Moyu's reminder, I came back to my senses, and I thought about it, what she said made sense, the most important thing now is not to be angry, but to find a reliable person to follow me. How nice it would be to have a good doctor!
Suddenly remembered Dr. Yan in the house, he is the most trusted doctor in Liu Shi, if he can get his guidance, it will definitely take a lot of detours. It's just that how to use him for your own purposes doesn't seem to be so simple.
Thinking of this, I said to Mo Yu: "Let's go back to Yilan Hall first, and when you go back, you go to Dr. Yan and ask him to come here for me to see if there is anything inappropriate." I think he should still help with this favor! β
Although Mo Yu had some doubts in his eyes, he didn't ask too much, and followed me back to the Yilan Palace.
When I got back, I reclined in the chaise longue, and after a while, Dr. Yan came.
After seeing Dr. Yan, I quickly got up from the chaise longue, bowed to him, and said respectfully: "Dr. Yan! It's really annoying for you to make a trip! β
Dr. Yan didn't expect me to be so polite, but he was a little uncomfortable, his gray eyebrows were slightly raised, and then, he also returned a salute to me, saying, "Miss Xu is so polite!" It makes the old man a little uncomfortable. Dare to ask Miss Xu if there is anything uncomfortable? β
I nodded, and said unabashedly, "Yes, it's a little uncomfortable. I don't know why in the past few days, I always feel a little groggy in my head, so I want Dr. Yan to see if there is anything I have here that is not very clean! β
Doctor Yan is the old man in this palace, and he is also a doctor, so he is very thorough about many things. He knew that what I meant by unclean wasn't really a ghost, but that someone had poisoned my food, diet, or whatever.
It's just that he didn't expect me to ask so straightforwardly, yes, he was slightly stunned. Immediately afterwards, he no longer shy away from it, in order to check the pulse, and then, he asked me in detail about my diet in the past few days.
After asking one by one, he stroked his gray beard, and his eyes rolled slightly for a moment, as if he was contemplating. After a while, he said to me, "Miss Xu, there are times when there are too many things involved in this house, and I don't want to interfere, so I only do what I should do." I wonder if you can answer, girl? β
Dr. Yan is also a smart person, he naturally knows that now Liu Xian's feelings for me are not ordinary, and he will not ignore my requests. However, he did not want to be involved in this whirlpool. I understand what he said, and I won't force him, after all, what you force to get may not be sincere. If one is not good, I am afraid that it will backfire in the future.
Yes, I nodded and said, "Don't worry, Doctor Yan, I will never let Dr. Yan do what I don't want to do!" β
After hearing my promise, he spoke: "If the girl's pulse is not carefully diagnosed, she will look no different from a normal person. However, after the old man checked the girl's pulse, he found that the girl's pulse occasionally fluctuated, but it was not so obvious. β
Dr. Yan's words made a wave in my heart, and I was not calm in an instant, he meant that I had some signs of poisoning, but it was not very obvious.
"Then what can Dr. Yan do to cure this poison? Also, what kind of poison is this and where does it come from? How can I avoid it happening again? β
Doctor Yan said: "The old man just listened to the ingredients that the girl said, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with them, and, under normal circumstances, some of them were too obvious from the ingredients. Therefore, the old man guessed that it must be that the things used by the girl must be adulterated with this toxin! β
After hearing this, I was shocked, and hurriedly said to Moyu: "Go and take out all the rouge gouache I use on weekdays, and let Dr. Yan see if there is something wrong!" β
When Mo Yu heard this, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly put all the brains I used on weekdays in front of Dr. Yan.
Dr. Yan picked it up, put it on the tip of his nose, and sniffed it carefully one by one, and my heart was also apprehensive with the change of facial expression.
Finally, when he smelled a box of fat powder, he frowned. It was a box of pearl powder, and even the shell was a seashell from the sea. There is no such thing in an inland area like Jinling, which is very precious. There are not a few boxes in the entire palace. It's just that this pearl powder is used to apply to the face, which can whiten the skin quickly and refine the skin, which is the best beauty product.
"Doctor Yan, is there a problem with this box of pearl powder?"
Dr. Yan nodded and replied, "Yes, the taste of this box of pearl powder is too fragrant, and it does not match the taste of pearl powder at all." This mussel is divided into river mussels, which are rich in freshwater pearls, and sea mussels that produce deep-sea pearls. It's just that this pearl is extremely difficult to form, and it is very precious. To be able to save, something can be added so that it retains a bright shine. It is the best choice for accessories. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that after the pearl is ground into powder, it has a whitening effect. However, after grinding into flour, it should still have the original salty taste. This box is so fragrant, it is obvious that it is trying to hide something. β
