Chapter 231: Disfigurement
Why is Qin Kexin's face covered with a red rash? Obviously last night was fine.
"Someone." Xiao Shujun's first reaction was to call the imperial doctor, and then call all the subordinates over and ask what the hell is going on?
This sound woke up Qin Kexin in his sleep, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Qin Kexin woke up and saw Xiao Shujun with a sad face, sat on the bed and asked subconsciously.
But as soon as he finished asking, he suddenly felt a tingling pain on his face, and subconsciously touched his face with his hand, but the touch made Qin Kexin stunned, his face was not smooth as before, but mottled like a rash.
Xiao Shujun saw Qin Kexin's surprised face, and hurriedly held Qin Kexin's hand that touched her face in her own hand, and no longer let her touch her face again.
Of course, Qin Kexin, who didn't know why, would not be so confused, so she hurriedly ran out of bed and got a mirror to see what was going on? But seeing his face covered with red rashes in the mirror, Qin Kexin almost fainted with fright.
"What the hell is going on?" Qin Kexin threw the mirror aside, couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and asked what was going on over and over again.
Xiao Shujun hurriedly went over and hugged Qin Kexin, who was already frightened, and comforted, "It's okay, it's okay, wait for the imperial doctor to come to check the situation and prescribe some medicine, it will definitely be fine." Xiao Shujun knew how important Qin Kexin's face was to Qin Kexin, who loved beauty, so he understood her madness at the moment.
At this time, Yu'er heard Xiao Shujun's exclamation and came in, and she was also shocked when she saw Qin Kexin's face, "Niangniang, you ......"
"Hurry up and find the Imperial Doctor." Xiao Shujun didn't give Yu'er room to continue to ask.
Yu'er was stunned for a moment, and then rushed out of the bedroom of Soft Xiangyuan and ran to the imperial hospital.
After a while, the imperial physician was summoned.
Xiao Shujun comforted Qin Kexin, took her to lie on the bed, and let the imperial doctor diagnose what was going on?
The imperial doctor first checked the symptoms, and then checked Qin Kexin's pulse, and seemed to have an answer in his heart, he got up and said to Xiao Shujun: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xin Niangniang has been poisoned by a poison called wormwood, this kind of wormwood, if it touches people's skin, it will cause this mottled rash on Niangniang's face. ”
"Wormwood? Can the mother's face be cured? "This is the question that everyone present wants to know the most, Xiao Shujun often marches and fights, and has seen this wormwood, which usually grows in the wilderness, it is impossible for the palace to have such a thing, how could it be encountered by Qin Kexin?
Everyone held their breath and waited for the imperial doctor's reply, and the imperial doctor hurried to the scene when he saw this: "Your Majesty, rest assured, if you take the medicine I prescribed to Niangniang, after ten days, these red rashes will all disappear." ”
When Xiao Shujun and the others heard this, they let go of their calculations, but Qin Kexin's beautiful face was saved.
"Ten days?" But Qin Kexin seemed to be very dissatisfied with this result, Qin Kexin thought in his heart that there were still seven days left for his canonization ceremony, did he want to hold the canonization ceremony with this red rash on his face? This queen's canonization ceremony is only this once in a lifetime, and the emperor has already decreed, that is, seven days later.
Xiao Shujun knew what Qin Kexin was thinking, so he stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, the canonization ceremony will be changed to ten days later, no matter what, you are the most beautiful in my heart." ”
Qin Kexin couldn't bear to let Xiao Shujun look at his face full of red rashes, so he covered his face with a quilt and didn't say anything, Xiao Shujun was really distressed when he saw it.
The imperial physician Qin Kexin prescribed medicine for internal and external use, instructed Qin Kexin to avoid things, and left.
"What the hell is going on, has Niangniang encountered something that shouldn't be touched recently?" As soon as the imperial doctor left, Xiao Shujun comforted Qin Kexin, and when he came out, he questioned the subordinates of Soft Xiangyuan.
Yu'er is Qin Kexin's personal maid, taking care of Qin Kexin's daily life, almost inseparable from Qin Kexin, she has the most right to speak, but after thinking about it, she didn't think that Qin Kexin had been exposed to anything that should not be touched recently, so she truthfully reported to Xiao Shujun.
Xiao Shujun knew that Yu'er and the others must have missed some details, so they had to start from the details to find out the truth of this matter.
Xiao Shujun struggled with his brain, thought about it, and suddenly thought of what the imperial doctor had just said, 'As long as this wormwood touches people's skin, it will have a red rash, and the person who does these things will definitely touch wormwood, then there must be red dust on his hands,' Thinking of this, Xiao Shujun immediately ordered to go down and check the hands of all the palace maids in the harem, who has a rash on their hands?
Yu'er hurried to check after receiving the order, but there were so many people in the harem, and it would definitely take a long time for Yu'er to finish the investigation, so Xiao Shujun could only go to the early court temporarily.
The hard work paid off, and after some searching, Yu'er finally found the palace maid with a rash on her hand, it turned out to be the one who served Qin Kexin to freshen up, although she seemed to have paid great attention to not letting the wormwood get on her hands, but there was still a slight rash that Yu'er with sharp eyes found out.
Yu'er immediately took her to Qin Kexin's bed and knelt, at this time, Xiao Shujun also rushed to the soft fragrance garden, and saw a palace maid kneeling in front of Qin Kexin's bed, so it was clear that it must have been done by this palace maid, so she directly asked the palace maid what was going on, why did she frame Concubine Xin, who would have thought that the palace maid would deny it, saying that she didn't know what was going on.
Xiao Shujun saw that she wouldn't admit it if she didn't give her some color, so she said sharply: "Don't say it? It's useless to keep you, pull it out and cut it,"
As soon as the words fell, the father-in-law beside Xiao Shujun pulled the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground and walked outside, and the palace maid was really shocked when she saw Xiao Shujun coming. I said...... I say. ”
Xiao Shujun waved his hand and asked his father-in-law to let go of the palace maid. "Hurry up, I can save you from death!"
The palace maid hesitated and said, "Yes...... It was Lord Xiao who asked me to do this, and gave me herbs and silver, and the slave and maid were fascinated by money for a while before agreeing, asking the emperor to forgive me. ”
"Xiao Ruoxue?" Xiao Shujun confirmed with the palace maid again.
"It's Xiao Ruoxue, the county lord." The maid replied.
"It's her again." Qin Kexin, who was sitting on the bed on the side, gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, thinking that this Xiao Ruoxue was really dead, and challenged her bottom line again and again.
"Go to Xiao Ruoxue and call me, pull this palace maid out and beat a hundred boards, and expel her from the palace." Xiao Shujun was obviously angry, he heard that this Xiao Ruoxue was dishonest when he was on the battlefield before, and he had been looking for trouble with Qin Kexin, and after he came back, because Qin Kexin said that he didn't need to provoke this brainless thing, he didn't settle accounts with her, and now he was bullied, it was time to give her a little color.
In the palace courtyard, Xiao Ruoxue was playing with flowers and plants with Princess Qi, and suddenly someone from the emperor came to take Xiao Ruoxue away.
"What are you doing with her?" Princess Qi was beside her, not wanting Xiao Ruoxue to be taken away, grabbing Xiao Ruoxue's sleeve.
The father-in-law sent by Xiao Shujun saw Princess Qi asking this, and said in a sharp voice: "What are you doing to arrest him?" He ruined Concubine Xin's face, and it would be good if the emperor didn't kill him for a while. ”
"What?" Princess Qi almost didn't stand still and sat on the ground when she heard this, thinking that her daughter must have caused trouble for herself again.
The father-in-law didn't care about Princess Qi's shock, and directly put Xiao Ruoxue.
Along the way, Xiao Ruoxue knew that it must have been the palace maid who betrayed herself, blaming herself for acting too carelessly and not disposing of the palace maid......
She was in a nervous mood and didn't think about what she was going to say when she saw Xiao Shujun and the others for a while, and she was escorted by her father-in-law like a marionette.
After a while, I finally arrived at Soft Fragrance Garden.
The father-in-law directly brought Xiao Ruoxue to Xiao Shujun and Qin Kexin, Xiao Ruoxue didn't dare to come out, waiting for Xiao Shujun to question herself, but who knew that Xiao Shujun didn't interrogate Xiao Ruoxue at all, and said directly: "Are you tired of being alive?" ”
This sentence frightened Xiao Ruoxue, she almost knelt unsteadily, and kowtowed directly to the ground, "I know it's wrong, don't blame the emperor, don't dare next time." ”
"Next time? Do you want to have a next time? Xiao Shujun asked again in a very threatening tone.
"Don't dare, there's no next time." Xiao Ruoxue said this without thinking about it.
"You go straight to the guillotine." For the woman who has provoked Qin Kexin so many times, even though she is the daughter of King Qi, Xiao Shujun will not show mercy.
Xiao Ruoxue saw that Xiao Shujun was about to kill herself, and retorted: "I just spent her face, and she will be healed in a few days, no matter how you say it, you can't kill you, how can you send me to the guillotine?" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Shujun sneered and said in a very dangerous tone: "Because you are moving my woman, you should never recover." ”
Xiao Ruoxue felt despair spread around her when she heard this, and she didn't know what to do.
At this time, Qin Kexin spoke: "Why did you ruin my face?" Qin Kexin wanted to know where she had offended this vicious Xiao Ruoxue.
Xiao Ruoxue saw that if she didn't tell the truth, she would really anger Xiao Shujun and Qin Kexin and be sent to the guillotine, so she hurriedly answered honestly: "I ...... I'm just jealous that Concubine Xin can become the queen.
That's why I thought about making your face flowery, so that you would be ugly at the queen's canonization ceremony, but I really didn't want to make this matter irreparable, and the wormwood I was looking for could only have a ten-day rash. ”
Qin Kexin saw that Xiao Ruoxue Jing was so vicious because of jealousy, she was really hopeless, she couldn't bear to close her eyes and shook her head, "Do you think ten days is rare?" ”
Xiao Shujun saw that the matter was clear, and didn't want to say anything to this Xiao Ruoxue? So he waved his hand and said, "Come on, drag him down and behead him." ”
Now, Xiao Shujun is the emperor above 10,000 people, whoever he wants to kill is like pinching an ant to death, others dare not have any complaints, even King Qi can only watch his daughter die, dare to be angry but dare not speak.
"Never, never." Who would have thought that at this critical moment, King Qi and Princess Qi would dare to go to the Soft Fragrance Garden.
