Lu Chuan said: "Concubine Niangniang's illness, although it looks like it is caused by heat and cold, but the minister found unusual symptoms, the minister has checked the tongue coating of Concubine Niangniang, if it is a disease of heat and cold, the tongue coating should be red, but the tongue coating of Concubine Niangniang is white, and it is faintly cyan. ”

He Xi asked, "Then according to Imperial Doctor Lu's meaning, what caused this?" ”

Lu Chuan said with an affirmative expression: "It's poisoning." ”

He Xi felt cold in her hands and feet in an instant, and she couldn't help but tighten the clothes on her body and said, "Poisoning? ”

Lu Chuan nodded and said: "It's poisoning, but the minister didn't have time to investigate carefully and didn't know what poison was in the concubine Niangniang, so the prescription prescribed by the minister to the concubine Niangniang was mixed with lobelia, which has the effect of detoxification, but it can't prescribe the right medicine, and the effect of this medicine will be reduced." ”

He Xi's eyes were gloomy and said: "Since Concubine Shuniang was pregnant, except for Xu Shao's accident before, she has never been framed by someone else, why did she have an accident at this time?" Lu Chuan said: "It used to be before, and now there are pregnant concubines in the palace, one after another, everyone wants to give birth to the prince safely." ”

He Xi's face sank, and he said: "These people, for the sake of interests, unscrupulous means, okay, Imperial Doctor Lu, I know, I will find an opportunity to tell Concubine Xu, if she is willing, I will find a way for you to go over and have a look." ”

Lu Chuan nodded, and said with some anxiety: "The little master must protect himself first." ”

He Xi snorted and said, "Imperial Doctor Lu should not stay in this palace for a long time, by the way, I will let Ruyi send you out." ”

After that, he called Ruyi, and when Lu Chuan was sent away, Ruyi entered the inner hall, and saw He Xi holding a cup of tea in his hand, but the tea cup was cold, and He Xi didn't notice anything wrong.

Ruyi took it lightly and said, "Little master, this tea is cold, be careful of stomach trouble after drinking." ”

He Xi looked at it and said, "Imperial Doctor Lu can go?" ”

Ruyi nodded and said, "Let's go, don't worry, little master, no one noticed the abnormality." ”

He Xi shook his head slowly and said, "I'm not thinking about this, Ruyi, you say, who in this palace is the most unwilling to let Concubine Xu Shu's child be born?" ”

Ruyi was stunned, and when he saw the serious look on He Xi's face, he knew that He Xi was not joking, so he also said with a straight face: "According to the slave maid, the queen and Concubine Hui are all possible." ”

He Xi nodded and said, "Yes, both of them are pregnant, and everyone wants to give birth to a high-ranking prince as soon as possible." ”

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "There is another person—"

He Xi said: "Who is it?" ”

Ruyi hesitated a little and said: "Bai Cairen-"

He Xi's fingers paused slightly, and said, "Bai Zhi? ”

Ruyi said: "Exactly, does the little master still remember, once, by the side of Bai Cairen, there was a palace maid who served Bai Cairen, and finally found out that it was arranged by Concubine Xu Shu, and the slave maid thought-"

He Xi said disapprovingly: "However, at that flower-viewing banquet, Bai Zhi took the pearl and found me, asking me to remind Concubine Xu Shu." And the matter of Concubine Xu's father—"

She said this, but the speed of her speech slowly slowed down, yes, the pearls of the flower viewing banquet were sent to Xu Qing'er by her, but what was the result? turned her head and Xu Qing'er teamed up with the queen to frame her and murder the prince.

And Xu Shao's matter, running by herself, also hinted at Xu Qing'er, but Xu Qing'er chose to believe in the Prime Minister's Mansion instead of herself.

Thinking of her joy that day, thinking that she was pregnant with the imperial heir, could it be that she mistakenly thought that she was pregnant with the imperial heir, so she thought about attacking Concubine Xu Shu?

He Xi's heart slowly sank and sank again, as if he had fallen into the abyss.

If it's really Angelica Angelica, then she's really terrifying.

But in the final analysis, there is no evidence in this matter, not to mention whether Xu Qing'er's mother's family is in decline, it is the identity of one of her four concubines, and it is not the turn of a talented person to calculate.

He Xi shook his head, trying to make his thoughts clearer: "This matter, don't leak it out first, there is no evidence, and you can't speculate randomly." In the evening, you arrange, I will secretly go to the Ice Spring Palace. ”

Ruyi nodded, and went down to make arrangements.

Night fell quietly, because Mrs. Miao's illness had been cured, Tuoba Chen stayed in her Yiyue Palace for several days, for a while, the limelight was the same, and today is no exception.

But He Xi was also happy, she took advantage of the night to go out from the corner gate, and in the Ice Spring Palace, the green pothos was waiting at the back door to answer.

Seeing He Xi, the look on Lu Luo's face was a little complicated, she didn't like He Xi, she never liked it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to say so much about He Xi's bad in front of Xu Qing'er.

But since Xu Shao was demoted to a commoner, although Xu Qing'er's position has been retained, the attitude of everyone in this palace has been more or less different, and the original flattering palace people will sneer and roll a few eyes when there is no one.

Green Pothos listened to it many times, from the initial anger to the last habitual, she tasted the taste of being ridiculed.

But He Xi, the person who was almost unable to get out of the cold palace who was once harmed by his own mother, actually chose to help at this time, how could he not let her be moved, thinking like this, the green pothos suddenly knelt on the ground, touched her head to the ground and said: "The slave and maid were ignorant in the past, and they were offended a lot, but fortunately, the little master ignored the previous suspicions, and the slave and maid are here to make amends for you." ”

As he spoke, he leaned over and kowtowed, and then kowtowed, his forehead hit the cold ground, making a dull sound, He Xi looked at her and said, "Okay, you used to be for your master, there is nothing right or wrong, get up." ”

But the green pothos still got up after three heads, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "The slave and maid have already spent the idle people, so the little master can rest assured." ”

He Xi nodded with satisfaction, and followed her all the way to Xu Qing'er's dormitory, in the dormitory, Xu Qing'er was lying on the bed, and in the afternoon, Lu Luo helped her wipe her body according to Lu Chuan's instructions, took medicine, and was in better spirits.

When He Xi saw her, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and first saluted: "See Concubine Shuniang-"

Xu Qing'er's eyes were red, I don't know if it was because of illness or sadness, she said lightly: "My sister came late at night, she must have something important, so she didn't need to be polite." ”

When He Xi saw her like this, he sighed in his heart, and said straight to the point: "Today, Imperial Doctor Lu found the concubine and said that Niangniang's illness was not infected with wind and cold, but may have been poisoned. ”

Xu Qing'er smiled, as if this matter was in her expectation, she muttered: "Sure enough, I said, I have been so careful, the weather is a little cold, so I immediately added clothes, how could I suddenly catch the wind cold." ”

He Xi was stunned, she really didn't expect Xu Qing'er to know about it a long time ago, she couldn't help asking, "Then why didn't Niang Niang tell Your Majesty?" ”

Xu Qing'er smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty? What if you tell it, does my sister think that person will have no backhand? ”

As she spoke, she looked at He Xi and said with a light smile: "Sister, aren't you curious who the person behind that is?" ”

Seeing that He Xi didn't answer, she was not in a hurry, she just said to herself: "It should be the queen's mother, she is pregnant, this child, she didn't move before, because she wanted to wait for the palace to be born, she could be raised under herself, the palace is one of the four concubines, unlike Li Jingui who is just a crazy palace maid, such a child, the identity is reasonable, the palace does not have the support of the mother's family, and it is naturally the best choice for the queen's mother." But—"

But now that the queen has her own child, Xu Qing'er's child has changed from the best choice to the biggest threat.

But He Xi always felt that there was something faintly wrong about this matter.

She only felt as if there were thousands of strands entwining herself, slowly tightening, clamping, so that he could not breathe.

She lowered her eyes, neither agreeing nor refuting Xu Qing'er's thoughts, she said: "Since Niangniang has noticed it, it seems that the concubine is doing too much." ”

Xu Qing'er chuckled, the voice seemed empty and light in the empty room, like a ghost, He Xi couldn't help but look at Xu Qing'er, only to feel that although her eyebrows and eyes were still familiar, but that kind of expression was still unfamiliar.

Xu Qing'er saw that she couldn't stop staring at herself, and suddenly said, "Imperial Doctor Lu is very kind to my sister." ”

He Xi came today, since she said Lu Chuan's matter, she was ready to ask like this, and she didn't hide it: "Imperial Doctor Lu is upright, and in order to treat leg diseases, he has some friendships. ”

Xu Qing'er looked at He Xi as if she was probing, trying to find any flaws in her face, but He Xi's eyebrows were picturesque, and she was not shocked when she talked about it.

Xu Qing'er retracted her gaze and said: "Sister rest assured, my sister is crossing the river at this time, and it is difficult to protect herself, so she will definitely not be nosy, but I bother my sister to do me a favor and let Imperial Doctor Lu come to my palace to take a look. ”

He Xi noticed that her hands on the brocade quilt slowly curled up, and the fierceness in Xu Qing'er's eyes, such ruthlessness had never been seen in He Xi's impression.

Xu Qing'er was still impregnated by this deep palace after all.

When He Xi returned to Lingxiu Palace, she felt that her palms were all wet, and she said with a somewhat unrelenting look: "Little master, what's wrong?" ”

He Xi smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired today, you find a way to send a letter to Lu Chuan tomorrow, just say that Concubine Shu agrees with him to go and see, okay, it's late at night, you can go to sleep too." ”

Ruyi nodded, served He Xi to lie down, blew out the candle, and returned to the side hall.

He Xi's thoughts were chaotic, but he couldn't stop the fatigue that came up like a tide in his body, and he slowly fell asleep.
