Chapter 117: Seriously Ill, Poisoned (Five Watches)
,
The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong
"Mother." Xie Qing ran to Lin's bed, only to see that Lin's face was white and scary, his originally unrounded face was getting thinner and thinner, and the whole person was almost skinny.
Xie Qing suddenly burst into tears, this is the mother she wants to protect and take care of, why has she become like this now.
When Lin heard his daughter's voice, his eyes opened slightly, and he tried hard to raise his hand: "Qing...... Qing'er ......"
Xie Qing hurriedly held Lin's hand, her mother's hand was so cold, she seemed to be holding a cold stone.
"Mother, Qing'er is back, don't be afraid." Xie Qing choked up.
Lin Shi tried to show a smile: "Okay, good Qing'er." ”
"Mother, don't talk, you'll be fine, you must be fine, Qing'er will cure you." Xie Qing hurriedly said. Lin saw that it was difficult to speak, and every word he said seemed to exhaust all his strength. As he spoke, Lin had already fainted.
Xie Ya saw that Xie Qing's expression was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Fifth sister, the second aunt will be fine, the doctors have come to see it, it must be fine, don't be too sad." ”
The Lin family was seriously ill, but Xie Qing, the biological daughter, was in the palace again, and Xie Ya saw that the Lin family was seriously ill, so she came to take care of it every day.
Xie Qing smiled faintly at Xie Ya and said, "Third sister, thank you." ”
Xie Ya scratched her head and said with a smile: "It's all my own sisters, this is what I should do, there's nothing to thank or not thank." ”
"Third sister, I want to stay with my mother for a while."
Xie Qing is the biological daughter of the Lin family, there must be something intimate to say between the mother and daughter, Xie Ya also understood, nodded and said: "Then I'll go out first, I'm not busy going home first, you call me if you have something." Before leaving, he didn't forget to gently pat Xie Qing's shoulder to show comfort.
Since the old lady's birthday banquet, the people in the third room have moved out at the insistence of the Liu family, and Xie Ya and the Liu family only need to come to greet the old lady Xie from time to time. And since Xie Ya knew that Lin was seriously ill, she worked hard every day to come to the house to take care of her, taking care of Lin during the day and returning to her home at night.
As soon as Xie Ya left, Xie Qing hurriedly diagnosed Lin's pulse. The pulse was vague, and it seemed to be a wind chill caused by hesitation and cold, and then it was not well cared for, so that the condition worsened.
Xie Qing frowned slightly, and gently brushed aside Lin's eyelids, and after a pause, Lin's eyelids faintly showed dark blue, which was clearly poisoning.
Xie Qing picked up the pen and wrote down the prescription and handed it to Xiaowan: "Xiaowan, you go, secretly go out of the house and catch the medicine according to this prescription." "The top priority is to cure the Lin family.
Xiao Wan took the prescription and hurriedly went out to grab the medicine.
"Lingzhi, who is the doctor who diagnoses Madame's pulse?" Xie Qing asked in a deep voice. Lin's poisoning must have been deliberately done, and she would definitely catch the murderer.
"It's Dr. Liu, the house doctor." Lingzhi replied.
"Bring me the prescription and the boiled medicine." Xie Qing commanded.
Lingzhi's heart jumped, and Miss suspected that there was a problem with this prescription, and explained: "Miss, the slave maid was worried that Dr. Liu had a problem, so the slave and maid went to the outside doctor to see, and the doctor said that the prescription prescribed by Dr. Liu was fine, and even the medicine boiled out, the slave and maid asked the doctor to see it, and it was no problem." ”
Xie Qing said lightly: "The prescription and medicine are fine, it doesn't mean that you can't see anything." Go get everything. ”
Lingzhi saw that Xie Qing was already a little angry, and he didn't dare to say much at the moment, so he hurriedly took all the things according to her instructions. Xie Qing checked them one by one, put the boiled medicine on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and then took a sip.
His brows furrowed, this medicine is indeed fine.
Xie Qing looked at the furnishings around him again, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's almost lunch now, Lingzhi, bring the meals that my mother usually eats these days." Also, call Caiyan over. ”
Lingzhi didn't dare to delay, and after a while, he brought in the food and Caiyan.
"The slave has seen the young lady." Caiyan hurriedly knelt on the ground, she was caught by Xie Qing last time she was drugged, for fear that this time Xie Qing would also think that she did it, without waiting for Xie Qing to speak, she hurriedly defended herself: "Miss, Madame's serious illness really has nothing to do with the slave maid, please Miss to find out." ”
Lingzhi frowned slightly: "Miss hasn't spoken yet, you're busy defending yourself, I see that you have a weak heart!" ”
Caiyan hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, the slave maid didn't, miss, the slave maid ate your poison, how dare you attack Madame?" Ask the young lady to believe in the slave. ”
Lingzhi wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Xie Qing, so she had to step aside at the moment, and the young lady probably had her own idea.
Xie Qing walked to the table and his eyes fell on the food on the table.
"Caiyan, I remember that you were responsible for bringing Madame's meal from the big kitchen." Xie Qing's tone was very gentle, but it made Caiyan can't help but feel excited.
"Miss, it is indeed a slave and maid, but the slaves and maids are all in the big kitchen, and the slaves and maids serve whatever they want, and they absolutely do nothing to do anything."
Xie Qing smiled lightly and said, "You naturally don't have the courage to poison, but someone can instruct you to poison." ”
"Poisoned?" Caiyan was frightened, swallowed her saliva, and said, "Miss, are you saying that Madame is poisoned?" ”
Poisoning must have been poisoned by someone, Caiyan hurriedly shook her head and said: "Miss, the slave really doesn't know, the eldest lady hasn't sent anyone to find the slave and the maid, it's really not the slave and the maid." ”
Caiyan begged for mercy and kept shaking her head.
Xie Qing didn't look at her, and only said lightly: "Caiyan, you have served your mother for many years, and you have always been in charge of your mother's meals, so you must know everything about the food in the kitchen?" ”
Caiyan was puzzled, what did Miss mean by this, so she could only reply blankly: "Almost." ”
"Here, you don't notice what's wrong with these dishes?" Xie Qing pointed to one of the dishes and said coldly.
Caiyan looked at the dishes on the plate and said in a slur manner, "What's wrong with the dishes?" ”
"See clearly, if you can't find out what's wrong here, then it can only mean that you poisoned your wife." Xie Qing said mercilessly.
Caiyan's palms were sweaty, and she tried her best to open her eyes, what Miss meant was that there was something wrong with these dishes, and if she couldn't tell what was wrong, then she was the murderer.
"These dishes, no ...... There's nothing wrong with that. ”
"Huh?" Xie Qing's tone was slightly raised.
"No......" Caiyan stammered, "yes...... There is no shiso in the dish. ”
Xie Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? ”
"Yes...... I put it a few days ago, but I didn't release it today. Caiyan couldn't tell what was wrong, so she had to tell the only thing she knew. She is in charge of meals every day, and she can see at a glance what ingredients are used in the dishes.
Xie Qing's face changed suddenly, his lips opened slightly, and he sneered: "Sure enough! ”
Caiyan didn't know why, for fear that Miss would think she was the murderer, so she hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Miss, it's really not the slave who did it, the slave doesn't dare, Miss please be aware of it." ”
She is a person who has suffered a loss, but she doesn't dare to eat a second time.
"Caiyan, do you want an antidote, an antidote that can completely cure the poison in your body?" Xie Qing asked.
"Yes, slaves and maids dream of it." Caiyan nodded repeatedly. She was poisoned, and only Xie Qing has an antidote to this poison, it is like having a shackle on her body, she can only be a person with her tail between her legs, if she can completely solve the poison on her body, then the feeling is good.
Xie Qing smiled slightly, "Then I will give you this opportunity, if you do what I ask, I will give you the antidote, and I can also return your deed of sale to you, and you will be free in the future." ”
Caiyan didn't agree, and nodded vigorously.
Xie Qing leaned into her ear and whispered......
Xie Ya was worried about Xie Qing, she knew that Xie Qing and the Lin family had a very deep relationship, if the Lin family really had three long and two short, maybe Xie Qing would be sad, so she waited for her in the courtyard.
With a squeak, the door opened, Xie Ya looked back and saw that it was Xie Qing who came out, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Fifth sister, how is the second aunt?" Xie Ya hurriedly asked, and there was no lack of concern in her words.
Xie Qing smiled at her and said, "My mother drank the medicine and fell asleep again." Third sister, thanks to you taking care of my mother during my absence, thank you. ”
"Wherever the fifth sister speaks, they are all their own sisters, and the second aunt is also my elder, so I should take care of her." Xie Ya said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, it's all because I'm unfilial, my mother is seriously ill, and I haven't known it, which is really sad."
Xie Ya hurriedly persuaded: "Fifth sister, don't think so, at first the second aunt was sick, I came to see the second aunt, at that time I proposed to send someone to the palace to inform you, but the second aunt refused, she said that you have been nesting in the house for many years, and now you finally have the opportunity to enter the palace, how can you be in such a hurry to call you back." ”
As a mother, Lin naturally thinks about her daughter everywhere. Second Master Xie went early, Xie Qing looked at Miss Houfu, in fact, Second Master Xie had no official position, and she was not even a serious official daughter. Although the Lin family is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, but in the end, he hopes that his daughter can live a better life, if he can rely on Concubine Xie Shufei's aunt and make a good family, it would be good.
"And who called me back?" Xie Qing asked.
Xie Ya sighed lightly and said, "The second aunt is afraid that you will be worried, so she has been blocking and not letting you tell you, or the eldest sister said that the mother is seriously ill, if you, the daughter, are not around, you will be criticized, so I quickly sent someone into the palace to inform you." ”
It turned out to be Xie Ru......
A trace of coldness flashed in Xie Qing's eyes, and then he returned to normal and bowed to Xie Ya.
Xie Ya hurriedly stopped her, "Fifth sister, what are you doing?" ”
"Third sister, my mother is my only relative, it's a pity that I am not filial to my daughter, my mother is seriously ill but I am not around, thanks to the third sister you help take care of it, you must accept this gift third sister, otherwise Xie Qing will feel uneasy." Xie Qing is sincerely grateful to Xie Ya.
