Chapter 3: Poisoning

Gu Xiqian naturally knew the intention of saying this, she was now seriously ill, and she had been immersed in the pain of losing her mother.

Gu Miaoxuan mentioned the death of Princess Xiang as soon as she woke up, and said that her grandfather's family was no longer taken seriously, and she Gu Xiqian had no one to rely on in the imperial city, and if she wanted to replace her with the former Gu Xiqian, she would definitely not be able to stand this blow.

It's a pity that she is not the Gu Xiqian she used to be.

"What my sister said is yes, the second lady does work hard, but I'm afraid it won't take long."

When Gu Miaoxuan heard this, her face instantly darkened, and then she asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Gu Xiqian smiled lightly, looked at the sunset on the horizon and said casually: "Although my mother has passed away, her identity is the daughter of a nobleman, even if my grandfather's family is not as good as before, but the identity of a nobleman is still there."

"Now that my father is placed in the imperial city, it is the mansion given by the new emperor, and it is difficult to say whether he can return to Jinzhou in the future.

When Gu Miaoxuan heard this, her face really changed, she and her mother had been waiting for so many years, Princess Xiang was finally gone, and her identity as a concubine was just around the corner, which had a lot to do with her future marriage and her brother's future, but now Gu Xiqian said that her mother's identity could not be on the stage!

Gu Miaoxuan gritted her teeth angrily, and she couldn't care about the rules of the noble lady, so she pointed at Gu Xiqian and scolded unceremoniously: "Gu Xiqian!" Don't you have the identity of a concubine, now that Princess Xiang is gone, and the grandfather's family in the imperial city can't be counted on, now I want to see how arrogant you are! ”

Gu Xiqian looked at Gu Miaoxuan's angry appearance, but smiled faintly.

"My sister is still worried about herself, if the second lady can't be the housewife, if the father is marrying a high-profile housemother, my identity as a concubine is all right, but my sister's identity as a concubine is afraid that I can't get rid of it for the rest of my life."

When Gu Miaoxuan heard this, she glared at Gu Xiqian even more angrily, but she didn't know how to refute, the maid next to her tugged at her sleeve, Gu Miaoxuan turned around and was about to leave with a sullen anger, but she heard Gu Xiqian's voice.

"Sister, don't forget to take the coffin away, if this spreads, it will still sweep the reputation of the second lady."

When Gu Miaoxuan heard this, she stomped her feet angrily, stepped out of the hospital and left in a hurry.

The little maid beside her waved her hand at the few subordinates who carried the coffin, and the subordinates understood that the coffin was quickly carried out.

The courtyard was quiet again, Gu Xiqian felt a knot in her chest, she took the handkerchief in Cai Yin's hand and coughed a few times, but after the handkerchief was taken off, she saw some black blood coughed up.

Black blood? Why is it black blood? Gu Xiqian suddenly thought of something.

Back in the house, Cai Yin helped her lean against the soft collapse of the bed, and took the brocade quilt to cover Gu Xiqian's body half.

Aunt Su wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Gu Xiqian very distressed.

"What do you think today? The old slave is really afraid that Miss has a case, if Miss is not good, the old slave will have no shame to face the princess. ”

Aunt Su said, tears flowing down again.

Gu Xiqian looked at Aunt Su and smiled back with a comforting smile.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm awake now, that's a little better."

Gu Xiqian's eyes darkened, remembering the black blood that had just been spit out, she looked at Aunt Su and asked, "Auntie, who is diagnosing and treating my disease, and who is going to fry the medicine?"

"It has always been the doctor invited by the third lady before, but then the doctor didn't come, we went to invite, and the second lady sent a doctor over, and the medicine was also prescribed by the doctor, and the medicine was fried by the old slave, but sometimes Jinzhu would also help to help."

"Jinzhu?" Gu Xiqian frowned.

"Jinzhu was sent by the second lady after entering the imperial city, because there were not enough people on the young lady's side." After Cai Yin finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong.

Aunt Su looked at Gu Xiqian's expression, and also sensed that something was wrong, and asked worriedly, "Is there anything wrong?"

Gu Xiqian's expression was a little solemn, and she instructed Cai Yin: "You go and find out the residue of the medicine after decoction on weekdays."

A moment later, Cai Yin entered the house with some medicine residue in her handkerchief.

"The medicine fried at noon, Miss hasn't drunk it yet, so it's still simmering, and I picked up some of it."

Gu Xiqian took Caiyin's handkerchief, looked at the medicine residue carefully, and put the medicine residue on the tip of her nose and smelled it, and suddenly her body froze, and her face was a little ugly.

Aunt Su saw that something was wrong and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this medicine?"

Gu Xiqian looked at the medicine in the handkerchief, and her brows tightened.

"There is a poisonous weed in this medicine."

Poison! Aunt Su and Cai Yin were both shocked.

"This poisonous weed grows in Yunnan, called wolf poisonous weed, the leaves of the grass are poisonous, but the rhizomes can be medicated, this poisonous weed can be eaten for a long time, and it can kill in a few months."

After listening to Gu Xiqian's words, Cai Yin and Aunt Su couldn't help but gasp.

"How did Mademoiselle find out that it was this poisonous weed?" Aunt Su didn't think that Gu Xiqian knew medicine.

When she was in the palace, she had studied medical books, and worshipped Liu Zhiliu, the highest doctor in the palace, as her master, and she still knew about some poisons and weeds, but the original Gu Xiqian did not understand medical skills.

"When I was bored in the house, I read medical books and knew about this poisonous weed." Gu Xiqian could only conceal her answer.

"It must be Jinzhu, she was the one who was sent in later! It must have been poisoned by her, miss, I'll arrest her for questioning right away! ”

Cai Yin was angry for a while, and was about to turn around immediately, but Gu Xiqian immediately spoke to stop her.

"No!"

Cai Yin heard Gu Xiqian's words, and turned around to look at her with tears in her eyes.

Cai Yin never thought that Jinzhu would poison Miss, and the mastermind naturally didn't have to think about it.
