After about three or four days like this, Princess Ning's complexion looked much better. However, Qin'er was lying on the couch all day long, feeling dazed, and her wounds were not getting better. At midnight the day before yesterday, Hua'er heard that Qin'er
It seemed that she was talking in her sleep. When she got up, she saw that Qin'er was talking nonsense because of a high fever. Because it was midnight, the doctor could not be invited into the house, so Hua'er took care of Qin'er all night. When Qin'er woke up, her fever had gone down.
.
Hua'er applied medicine to Qin'er every day, but the wound didn't get better. This made Hua'er feel a little strange, but she didn't dare to tell Qin'er.
Princess Ning was worried about Qin'er, so after having breakfast early in the morning, she went to visit Qin'er again.
"Princess, why are you here again?" Qin'er asked.
"After my concubine came back, I couldn't do anything. I heard that you had a high fever the night before yesterday. What happened? Doctor Liu had changed your prescription and treated your wounds after diagnosing your pulse. Why do you still have to do this?
It’s not healed?” Princess Ning asked.
"After listening to Dr. Liu's words, I didn't dare to touch the wound with water. The slave also felt that something was wrong. The wound had healed long ago, but since Dr. Liu saw it, it has not healed yet." Qin'er said.
"How about asking another doctor to take a look at it?" Princess Ning said.
"But isn't it always Dr. Liu who treats the whole family? If it were another doctor, it would arouse suspicion." Qin'er said.
"If we want to find out what's going on, we can only ask another doctor to come and take a look." Princess Ning said.
Princess Ning remembered that Dr. Liu came to the palace that day to diagnose her mother's pulse, and wrote a new prescription for herself. She wanted to see how Qin'er's injury was recovering, so she went to check Qin'er's pulse. Before, her mother and concubine had always been
She wanted to drive Qin'er away because she begged for mercy, so her mother-in-law changed her mind. After Doctor Liu came, Qin'er's injury had not been good, and she was a little worried. Doctor Liu obeyed his mother-in-law's order and treated her in the medicine.
She had tampered with the medicine. If Dr. Liu really tampered with the medicine, she had no choice. So, now she could only find another doctor to treat Qin'er.
"Princess, I think it's better to take the used medicine and the residue to the medicine hall and show it to other doctors. This will not arouse Madam's suspicion," Hua'er said.
"This is a good idea. You can go to the medicine hall soon and be sure not to be discovered." Princess Ning said.
Hua'er is right. Inviting other doctors to the house for no reason will arouse the suspicion of the mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law ordered Doctor Liu to do it, wouldn't it be a warning?
"Yes." Hua'er said.
After Qin'er felt something was wrong, she began to doubt Madam. She looked at Princess Ning and said cautiously: "Princess, have you guessed it?"
"You must not think wildly, and you must take good care of yourself." Princess Ning said.
Qin'er is so smart that she has noticed something strange about Princess Ning a long time ago. It turns out that even Princess Ning has discovered the problem. Madam wants to drive her away so much, but she only lets herself go because of Princess Ning's insistence. But Madam doesn't want to at all.
It would make him feel better in the house, so he asked Doctor Liu to tamper with the medicine.
She felt strange that the wound had already healed, so why did it suddenly worsen?
"Princess, I have long known that this will end like this. You don't need to comfort me. Madam doesn't like me so much. Why don't you let me leave the palace? I am worried that you will conflict with Madam because of Ning'er. If this happens, Madam
It will be sad." Qin'er said.
"I finally kept you in my house, why would I let you go? Besides, my mother-in-law has promised me that if it was really my mother-in-law who did it, I will definitely seek justice for you. Don't think too much at this time.
You must take good care of yourself." Princess Ning said.
"Miss, the soup is ready. Is there anything wrong with the soup?" Hua'er said.
"Don't drink it for now, wait until you come back from the medicine hall." Princess Ning said.
"Yes." Hua'er responded.
Princess Ning left Qin'er's house and went to the main courtyard to pay her respects to the master and his wife.
"Father, king, mother, concubine." Princess Ning said respectfully.
"Come over and sit down. Ning'er's complexion has improved a lot. It seems that the tonic was not in vain." The lady said with a smile.
"What Concubine Mother said is absolutely true. Not only does Ning'er look much better, she is also full of strength." Princess Ning said.
Princess Ning listened to Madam's words and almost blurted out the story about Qin'er, but she knew that there was no evidence now. If she asked the concubine like this, how could the concubine admit it? In this way, the concubine would be more vigilant and would definitely inform Liu in advance.
doctor.
"Have you not gone to the Princess's Mansion to pay your respects to your grandmother these past few days?" the lady asked.
"Yes, Ning'er has not been to the princess's mansion since the mother-in-law came back. I believe that grandma will understand Ning'er, so the mother-in-law can rest assured." Princess Ning said.
"It's better to invite your grandmother back. You can't always live in the princess's mansion." Madam said.
"Yes, this is all Ning'er's fault. Otherwise, why would the elder brother make the old lady angry? Ning'er will find a way to coax grandma, so don't worry, mother-in-law." Princess Ning said.
"Sure enough, it's just like what your elder brother said. He's really sensible a lot." said the lady.
"Mother, Concubine, Qin'er's condition is not very good. Not only has the wound not healed, but she also had a high fever two days ago. Although the fever has subsided now, the wound has not improved. Ning'er would like to ask Dr. Liu to come back to the house to treat
Qin'er takes a look, she's just worried that her mother and concubine won't agree." Princess Ning continued.
Madam did not expect Princess Ning to discuss this matter with her because she was worried that she would not agree. She smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. Your body has also regained its color. I also want to ask Dr. Liu to come and diagnose your pulse."
"Thank you, concubine. Ning'er will ask Hua'er to make a trip." Princess Ning said.
"Well, my mother and concubine are really pleased to see that you are well-behaved and sensible these days," the lady said.
After Princess Ning returned, she ordered Hua'er to set off immediately. First, she went to the medicine hall to consult whether there was anything wrong with the powder and decoction, and then asked Dr. Liu to come back.
After Hua'er agreed, she took the medicine dregs and powder she left and set off. When she arrived at the medicine hall, she found that there were not many people, so she asked the doctor about the medicine dregs. After the doctor smelled the medicine dregs, he said that the medicine was not good.
No problem. Hua'er didn't hesitate and took out the powder and handed it to the doctor.
The doctor told Hua'er that there was no problem with the medicinal powder. Hua'er was a little confused. Since there was no problem with the medicinal powder, why Qin'er's injury hadn't healed yet.
The doctor continued to tell Hua'er that although there was no problem with the decoction and medicinal powder, they should not be mixed together. Applying the powder after drinking the decoction would worsen the wound and make it difficult to heal.
Hua'er had already understood what the doctor said. After giving the doctor some silver, Hua'er threw away the medicine residue and put the powder away and left the medicine hall. She turned around and went to Doctor Liu's medicine hall and asked him to come to the mansion.
After arriving at Prince Cheng's Mansion, he first checked Princess Ning's pulse. Doctor Liu said: "The princess herself can feel the changes in her body, right?"
"Thanks to Doctor Liu, I will tell my concubine to reward you well. However, I have something else I want to plead with you. I wonder if Doctor Liu can agree?" Princess Ning asked.
"Princess, why should you be so polite? It's all your order." Doctor Liu said.
"Qin'er's wound has not healed yet. She had a high fever the night before yesterday and the wound has worsened. Can Dr. Liu go and see Qin'er?" Princess Ning said.
"How could this happen? Her wounds have been treated, so it shouldn't be like this. I'm going to have a look right now, don't worry." Doctor Liu said.
Hua'er led the way and invited Doctor Liu to Qin'er's house. Princess Ning went in without Doctor Liu and first checked Qin'er's pulse. Hua'er took advantage of this moment and said a few words in Princess Ning's ear.
After hearing this, the host looked angrily at Dr. Liu who was diagnosing Qin'er's pulse. If he wasn't diagnosing Qin'er's pulse, she really wanted to skin him.
After diagnosing the pulse, Doctor Liu said: "Miss Qin'er, I wonder if you can let me see your wound?"
"Yeah." Miss Qin'er said.
After hearing this, Hua'er quickly took off Qin'er's clothes, exposing the wound. Doctor Liu turned around and found that the wound had really started to fester this time, so he hurriedly said: "How could it be like this? If
You applied the medicine as I said, but why did it end up like this? Miss Hua'er, did you apply the medicine to Miss Qin'er on time?"
Doctor Liu wanted to blame Hua'er for the ulcerated wound, so that he would not have to take any responsibility.
Unfortunately, Princess Ning already knew that using the two medicines together would cause problems, so when Dr. Liu opened his mouth to frame Hua'er, she was slapped in the face by Princess Ning.
"Princess, what are you doing? Miss Qin'er's wound has not healed, and I am very anxious, but how can you do it?" Doctor Liu asked, covering his face.
"I believe you so much, I never thought you would do such a thing." Princess Ning said.
"What does princess mean?" Doctor Liu asked.
"There is indeed nothing wrong with using the medicine you prescribed for Qin'er and the powder for applying the wound separately, but if used together, it becomes poison. The wound is worsened by this medicine, and now Qin'er is still suffering from chronic poisoning. As a doctor
How can you be so vicious? Qin'er has no enmity against you, why are you doing this?" Princess Ning asked coldly.
"Princess, I don't understand what you are talking about." Doctor Liu denied.
Of course Doctor Liu cannot confess his wife, and the princess must obey his wife's orders. Besides, this girl should have offended his wife, so she would do this.
"It doesn't matter, I will let you understand. Come here, give me a hard beating," Princess Ning said.
Soon the servants in the courtyard came in with sticks, and the two servants carried Doctor Liu to the courtyard.
"Princess, how could you do this? You really don't know what happened?" Doctor Liu said.
"So, I will remind you of what I said. If you don't do it quickly, give me a hard beating." Princess Ning said.
After the slave got the order, he hit Doctor Liu hard. But before he hit him a few times, he heard his wife's voice.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
"Concubine, why are you here at this time?" Princess Ning said with a smile.
"I heard just now that Doctor Liu has arrived, so I planned to come over to see how your body is recovering. What happened to Doctor Liu, and why did Ning'er let someone beat him?" Madam asked doubtfully.
"Mother, there is something wrong with the medicine that Doctor Liu prescribed for Qin'er, which caused Qin'er's wounds to worsen and her fever to persist." Princess Ning said.
"Dr. Liu, it must have been caused by a moment of negligence, right? It's just this time, let's forget it. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and Qin'er is not seriously injured." Madam advised.
"What do you mean, concubine mother, it's just a moment of negligence? What if Dr. Liu did this on purpose?" Princess Ning asked reluctantly.
