Chapter 171: False alarm
"Wechen doesn't know...... That medicine is indeed carefully prepared by me, I have tried it many times, and there is absolutely no problem before it will be presented to the prince, at that time in the dormitory, you saw me personally take the medicine pills to prove my innocence...... It's a pity that the queen mother ......" He Qishan couldn't say any more, and sighed heavily.
"The Queen's intention is obviously to suppress this matter and put the blame on you...... If she is the murderer, where did she get the time to change the pills? Besides, the Second Highness is already a candidate for the crown prince, and the canonization ceremony will be held on the same day, so why does she want to hurt the prince again? Joan wondered.
"That's the suspicion...... I am now wearing a guilty body, I can't go to take care of the prince, the prince's body still needs to be taken care of by his wife, his life will not be in danger for the time being, but he will be in a coma for a long time, or I need to find schisandra as soon as possible to use the medicine, I have written down the prescription and handed it to Imperial Doctor Liu, usually scrub the body for the prince, and keep the body dry......"
"Dry? What do you mean? Ruo'an felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He Qishan sighed: "This poison will not only make people unconscious, but also easily cause blisters to grow on the patient's body......"
"Blisters?!"
"That's right, and it's very easy to break...... Once ruptured and comatose is not easy to turn, it is easier to cause skin ulceration, if not cleaned up in time, when you wake up in the future, it will leave scars of different sizes...... "He Qishan has a straight face, without the slightest joke......
"How can it be so serious? Why didn't you say it earlier? Ruo'an was a little anxious, the torch in his hand had already touched the cell door, and the slippery wood was disturbed by the flames, making a magnetic sound.
"That's what I just remembered...... But if you do not believe, go and look up the ancient books, and it will be written...... It's been a long time. I can only remember so much......" He Qishan said with a bitter expression.
Ruo'an and Ziyan were silent, they thought that they could ask something substantive by visiting He Qishan at night, but they didn't expect that there was no useful word, but they heard the bad news about the prince's more serious condition......
Ruo'an knows the taste of blisters all over her body, she was also a child with chickenpox when she was a child, and the blisters are round and bright, and the most unbearable thing is the kind of itching that can't be scratched! She can't remember how many times she secretly scratched her mother behind her back, and the scratch was a pit and a scar, and there are still many marks on her back. She knew what it was like to feel uncomfortable. So I feel more and more distressed.
Remembering the sound of footsteps in the corridor, Ziyan hurriedly tugged at Ruo'an's cuffs and said, "Sister, someone is here!" Let's get out of here......"
Ruo'an listened carefully, and if it was true, he didn't dare to stay for a long time. hurriedly said goodbye to He Qishan, pulled Ziyan and walked outside. Didn't go far. ran into the fat man he had just seen.
Seeing Ruo'an and Ziyan come out, the fat man's face was a little impatient, but after receiving the money from other people, he suppressed his temper and said: "The two fathers-in-law can be calculated, I thought you two were going to live in it permanently......"
"The official said with a smile, let's leave ......," Ruoan said and hurriedly moved. Hurriedly brushed past him, and just after walking a few steps, he heard a roar behind him: "Stand still!" ”
Ruo'an and Ziyan's bodies were shocked! Ziyan, in particular, was even more nervous and her legs trembled.
If you settle down, calm down. When he turned to look at the fat man, he saw that his eyes were squinted, staring at Ziyan cautiously, and Ruo'an's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
The fat man slowly bent down, reached out and picked up something on the ground, put it under his nose and smelled it, and asked suspiciously: "Why does my father-in-law also carry the things that this woman only brought?" ”
Only then did Ruo An see clearly what he was holding in his hand, it was a delicate sachet, the one that Ziyan had been wearing on weekdays, and somehow it fell out at such a critical juncture.
Ziyan began to break out in a cold sweat, Ruo'an was in a hurry, and hurriedly smiled: "Oh, official, you said that we are fathers-in-law, we are used to being lonely and miserable on weekdays, and it is rare to have one or two confidants...... See if you're ......," he said, reaching for the sachet.
The fat man looked at Ruo'an and squeezed out a smile: "You guys, you're just not honest, there's nothing, and you're still thinking about this and that all day long, take it, take it, if you can really find a palace maid who eats right, yes, I did a good thing, hurry, take it, don't lose it if someone gives you a love token!" As he spoke, he stuffed the sachet into Ziyan's arms, Ziyan just nodded, unable to say anything nervous.
Seeing that she was so nervous, Ruoan quickly patted her shoulder and smiled at the fat man: "Too nervous...... Too nervous...... Hehe......"
"That's it! Hurry back and restore your life, it's important to save the prince's life! The fat man said and waved his hand, Ruo'an was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly thanked him, pulled Ziyan and walked out, almost trotting out of the prison.
The way back was quite smooth, and Ziyan didn't dare to breathe along the way, until she saw the back door of the Jiqing Palace, she was relieved......
"Sister...... You're really going to scare me to death......" Ziyan gasped.
Ruoan looked around carefully and said, "Don't say it yet, hurry up and go in first!" As he spoke, he quietly opened the back door, leaned in and looked at nothing unusual, which allowed Ziyan to slip in, and then he closed the door and slipped back.
Huo Lin followed all the way, and when he saw that the two of them had returned to the Jiqing Hall safely, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and disappeared into the night.
Ruo An and Zi Yan flashed into Leng Chen's bedroom and closed the door softly, which can be regarded as completely relaxed, Zi Yan fell directly to the ground tiredly, Ruo An ripped off his hat, unbuttoned his collar to breathe, and wanted to see how Leng Chen's situation was, but he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw Leng Yang sitting beside Leng Chen's bed, looking at Ruo'an and Ziyan who hurriedly slipped in with a smile.
Seeing that Ruo'an didn't speak, Ziyan was curious, got up from the ground, walked over, patted Ruo'an's shoulder and said, "Sister? What happened to you? How ......" Before she finished speaking, she had already followed Ruo'an's gaze, and was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with weak legs, and said in a trembling voice: "Second ...... Second Highness......"
When Leng Yang saw that the two of them saw him, he was not silent, got up and said, "Are you back?" ”
Ruo'an swallowed his saliva, not knowing how to answer, Leng Yang walked over, looked around the two of them and said, "You guys are dressed decently...... What's wrong? It's time to give it back to me, right? ”
Ruo'an's heart tightened, and he subconsciously went to touch the jade pendant in his arms...... Leng Yang stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant back, looked at Ruo'an with a light smile and looked at the stunned expression, he dropped a sentence: "It's late, let's rest well......" and turned around, leaving Ruo'an and Ziyan looking at each other dumbfounded.
Seeing that Leng Yang was really gone, Ruo'an's body was weak and she almost fell, Ziyan hurriedly got up and helped her to sit down on a stool on the side, and asked while helping her suppress her shock: "Second Highness, what do you mean by this?" Why didn't he ask us where we we'd been? ”
Ruo An shook her head, she didn't know when Lu Dao Leng Yang found out that she had stolen his jade pendant, and whether she knew what Lu Dao had done with this father-in-law's outfit...... He didn't ask any of this, he just said that he was going to leave his jade pendant......
Ruo'an had a headache, and she couldn't think about Leng Yang's affairs anymore, she got up and came to Leng Chen's bedside, he slept very deeply, reached out to his forehead, slightly hot, she was about to untie Leng Chen's neckline to help him dissipate heat, and suddenly saw a few small bags bulging behind his ears......
Ruo'an's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly took Leng Chen's shirt off, and sure enough, as He Qishan said, there was already a tendency to blister all over his body!
Ruo'an hurriedly ordered Ziyan to fetch water, and carefully checked Leng Chen's body, the sadness and helplessness made her hand tremble a little even with the towel.
After scrubbing Leng Chen, his body was not as hot as before, and it seemed to be a little better, but Ruo'an's heart was almost a pot of porridge, and she urgently needed to find Schisandra now...... Only by finding Schisandra can Leng Chen be saved......
Ruoan almost couldn't sleep all night, and all that kept flashing through his mind were three words - Schisandra. I didn't want to sleep, so I simply got up and moved to the medical dictionary to check all kinds of annotations on Schisandra, and before I knew it, it was dawn.
When Aunt Qiao'er came to call the door, she saw Ruo'an's blue eyes and tired face, so she was startled and hurriedly asked, "Madam, what's wrong?" Sleepless all night? ”
Ruoan nodded, and commanded softly: "Help the prince prepare water and wipe his body for him......"
"Early in the morning?" Aunt Qiao'er was puzzled, Ruo'an was powerless to explain, so she had to instruct: "Don't ask, three times a day in the future, scrub for the prince, remember, wipe it with a dry cloth after washing, keep it dry and ......"
"Yes...... Madame ...... "Aunt Qiao'er answered, and retreated." Ruo'an simply had some breakfast, and then went to take care of Leng Chen again, and when he was wiping his body, Leng Yang pushed the door and came in.
Ruo An glanced up at him, did not speak, continued to lower her head and was busy with her own work, it was not that she was deliberately cold, but she really didn't know what to say, especially with the incident last night, she was even more embarrassed and speechless.
Leng Yang didn't seem to care, walked to Leng Chen's bedside and asked, "Is the eldest brother better?" ”
Ruoan didn't speak, just nodded in response, Leng Yang saw that she was not interested like this, turned around and prepared to leave, Ruoan thought of the most important thing and hadn't asked yet, and hurriedly called out to him: "Second Highness stay!" ”
Leng Yang was stunned for a moment, turned to look at her, Ruoan was a little embarrassed, but still opened his mouth: "That...... The thing about Schisandra ......"
"Oh...... Sister-in-law don't worry, someone has been sent to look for it, and there should be results soon......" said with a faint smile. Ruo'an was stunned, this is the first time Leng Yang has opened his mouth to call himself sister-in-law, how can it sound so awkward?
Seeing that she didn't speak again, Leng Yang shrugged his shoulders and turned around to go out, Ruo'an said lightly behind him: "What happened last night...... Don't you have anything to ask me? ”
Leng Yang smiled and didn't turn around and said, "No ......" After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room.
Ruo'an's heart suddenly emptied, a little uncomfortable.
A figure outside the window flashed away and rushed into Shan Yanran's room with a brisk pace. (To be continued......)
