On the way here, Hua'er wanted Princess Ning to say that she made the cakes herself. The old lady would be very happy if she knew it. But Princess Ning changed her mind and told the truth to the old lady.
If the old lady finds out, it will make him even more embarrassed. It is better to tell the truth and let the old lady know that he has sincerely changed his mind and will not lie again.
Seeing that the old lady was eating happily, Princess Ning also showed a smile on her face. She said to the old lady: "Old lady, your painting skills are very good, right?"
"That's right, I didn't expect that the pastries made by Hua'er girl are more delicious than those made by the kitchen aunt." The old lady said with a smile.
"If grandma likes it, let Hua'er often make it for you in the future. Ning'er will also learn to make some pastries for grandma to taste. Is that okay?" Princess Ning asked.
"Of course I want to try Ning'er's cooking," the old lady said.
After Princess Ning chatted with the old lady for a while, she took Hua'er back to Prince Cheng's Mansion.
The old lady waited until Princess Ning left and said to Aunt Qing: "Why did the wound on Qin'er's body fester?"
"Old madam, at first I just wanted to stop Qin'er from following Princess Ning into the palace. After giving her twenty sticks, I didn't tamper with her medicine. Moreover, I heard from people in the mansion that Qin'er was not allowed to enter the palace after Princess Ning entered the palace.
Before entering the palace, you can go to the ground and walk around." Aunt Qing said.
"In this case, why did the wound suddenly worsen? Could it be that someone in the palace had tampered with it?" the old lady said.
"Old madam, could it be that madam did it?" Aunt Qing asked.
"Why did she do this?" the old lady asked in confusion.
"Old Madam, Madam regretted very much what she had done before. Before she left, she also asked Miss Tan'er to look at the Princess. As a result, Miss Tan'er was almost killed because of Qin'er's instigation, and she also encouraged the Princess to cause trouble at the flower viewing party.
.You should know that Concubine Yun originally didn’t like the princess, but she became even more bored because of the flower viewing party. Something big happened to the princess almost, and the lady must have been frightened when she heard about it. If the lady knew that it was Qin’er’s idea,
I will definitely not spare her." Aunt Qing said.
"It's really strange. If she knew that Ning'er almost had an accident because of Qin'er, how could she just mess with the medicine? Could it be because of Ning'er?" the old lady said.
"Old madam, you once said that Princess Ning has not sincerely changed her mind. I think you are right. If Princess Ning really changed her mind, she would not defend Qin'er at all. I will go and find out about this matter. If there is any news, please come back.
Report to the old lady." Aunt Qing said.
It seemed that the matter was not simple, and Qin'er's injuries would not worsen for no reason. Because Aunt Qing wanted to inquire about this matter, so after the old lady had lunch, she returned to Prince Cheng's Mansion.
When the housekeeper saw Aunt Qing, his eyes lit up and he stepped forward and asked, "Aunt Qing is back. Is the old lady also back?"
"The old lady refused to come back after staying at the princess's mansion. I'll come over and get some things and then go back." Aunt Qing said.
"The old lady really doesn't plan to come back?" the housekeeper asked.
"The old lady never said when she would come back." Aunt Qing said.
"Aunt Qing should also give some advice and ask the old lady to come back as soon as possible," the housekeeper said.
"You also know how we slaves can talk too much in front of the master? Especially the old lady is still angry now. What should I do if the old lady is even more angry because of my talkativeness?" said Aunt Qing.
"That's what you said. I hope the old lady can come back soon. The palace is very deserted now. Even if the master and his wife come back, it won't be as lively as before." The housekeeper sighed.
"It will get better in the future. By the way, the maid next to the princess was punished in the princess's mansion a few days ago. When she was sent back, she could only rest on the couch. She should be almost recovered now, right? The old lady is thinking about this matter.
, so let me come back and ask." Aunt Qing asked cautiously.
"I was able to go out for a walk some time ago, but for some unknown reason, I suddenly developed a high fever in the middle of the night. The princess was anxious and invited a doctor to come to the house, but for some reason, an unfamiliar doctor was replaced an hour later," the housekeeper said.
"What happened?" said Aunt Qing.
"I'm not very sure. It's just that after the madam heard that the princess invited Dr. Liu, she hurried to the princess's yard. When the madam left, her face was very ugly. It was Miss Hua'er who went to the medicine hall outside to hire a doctor.
Let’s treat Qin’er again,” the housekeeper said.
"Replace Doctor Liu?" Aunt Qing asked curiously.
"That's right, Doctor Liu looks like he was injured," the housekeeper said.
"I understand, I won't tell you anymore, go back and pack your things first," said Aunt Qing.
Seeing that they had almost understood each other, Aunt Qing said goodbye to the housekeeper and went to the old lady's yard.
In fact, almost everything in the old lady's house has been moved, but there are still some clothes in the box. Aunt Qing took out a few pieces of clothes from the box and put them away, ready to take them away later.
When the servants in the yard saw Granny Qing coming back, they hurriedly came forward to say hello.
"Aunt Qing, why are you back when you have time?" the servant said.
"Help the old lady get some clothes. The old lady said you can't always make new ones." Aunt Qing said.
"When will the old lady come back?" Grandma asked.
"The old lady is still angry. She probably doesn't plan to come back for a while." Aunt Qing said.
"The courtyard is really too quiet. I really hope the old lady will come back today." Aunt Qing said. "By the way, did something happen in the palace a few days ago?" Aunt Qing asked.
"Something happened in the princess's yard a few days ago. I heard that Qin'er had a high fever in the middle of the night. When the doctor came over the next day, he found that the wound had festered. I remember that Qin'er could walk slowly a few days ago.
"Why did the wound suddenly fester? There was a lot of movement in the princess's yard that day, even the lady passed by." said the nanny.
"So that's it, it seems like something really happened." Aunt Qing said.
"How did Aunt Qing know that something happened in the palace?" asked Aunt Qing.
"Today the princess paid my respects to the old lady. The old lady noticed that the monarch's face was not very good. The old lady was worried that something might happen to the palace, so she asked me to come back and have a look." Aunt Qing said.
"Actually, it's nothing serious. By the way, when I heard that Dr. Liu was beaten, it might be related to Qin'er's sudden fever." Mammy said.
After making inquiries, Aunt Qing left Prince Chengjun's Mansion with a baggage.
After returning, Aunt Qing told the old lady what she had said to the housekeeper.
After hearing this, the old lady said, "It looks like the madam bribed Dr. Liu."
"Old madam, it is very likely that this is the case. Otherwise, after the princess found Dr. Liu, how could the madam go to the princess's yard in panic?" said Aunt Qing.
The old lady explained a few words in Nanny Qing's ear, and Nanny Qing left the Princess's Mansion again after listening.
Soon, Aunt Qing and a man secretly entered the princess's mansion through the back door.
"Long time no see, Doctor Liu." the old lady asked.
That's right, the person the old lady asked Grandma Qing to invite was none other than Dr. Liu.
"It's the old lady. Logically speaking, I should come here often to check your pulse, but something unexpected happened, so I don't have the nerve to come see you." Doctor Liu said.
"What happened?" the old lady asked.
"The old lady asked Aunt Qing to secretly invite me into the princess's mansion. Didn't she already know what happened?" Doctor Liu asked in return.
"If that's the case, then tell me honestly what's going on." The old lady said.
Doctor Liu looked at the old lady timidly, not knowing how to speak. Although the lady ordered it, he did it himself.
Seeing his eyes twinkling and seeming hesitant, the old lady added more energy and said, "Since I can find you, I believe others can also find you. If you don't want anything to happen, you'd better tell me now."
The old lady asked Dr. Liu to think about it for himself and not to hesitate if he wanted to survive.
Doctor Liu certainly knew that what the old lady said was right. Since the old lady could find him, the madam would definitely find him. The madam was worried that if he told the truth, she would also threaten him. He had been in and out of the palace for many years, and the old lady was very kind.
I believe his life will be saved.
So Doctor Liu mustered up his courage and said to the old lady: "Old madam, because the master and his wife just came back that day, he sent a villain to diagnose the lady's pulse. He originally wrote down the prescription and planned to leave, but the lady asked the villain to go to the princess.
I was treating a maid in my yard. The lady gave me a money bag, which was full of banknotes. The lady told the villain what she wanted, but the villain didn't dare to refuse at all, so he had to agree to the lady's request. So I
The medicine prescription was tampered with, and the girl had been poisoned. The villain did not expect that the princess would care very much about the maid, and actually went to the medicine hall with the dregs and powder to inquire. After the matter was revealed, the princess asked Hua'er to invite the girl
I continued to treat Qin'er. After I went to Prince Cheng's Mansion unprepared, I was pushed to the ground by someone arranged by the princess," Doctor Liu said.
"You are so brave, you dare to do this." The old lady said.
"Old madam, although madam didn't say anything, I knew that if I didn't agree to her at that time, I would definitely not be able to leave the palace that day." Doctor Liu said.
"Why did the princess let you go so suddenly?" the old lady asked.
"The villain didn't know. After beating the villain a few times, the lady suddenly appeared. The lady and the princess entered the house. I don't know what they said. When they came out, the princess let the villain go," Doctor Liu said.
"So, now the palace has hired another doctor to diagnose Qin'er's pulse?" the old lady asked.
"Yes, I knew it that day," Doctor Liu said.
"Is Qin'er okay?" the old lady said.
"As long as you stop using the medicinal powder, her injury will slowly heal. There are two medicinal materials in it that are incompatible with each other. If they are taken and applied together, there will be poisoning." Dr. Liu said.
"From today on, you should stay in the Princess's Mansion. I'm worried that someone will cause trouble for you." The old lady said.
"But the villain's wife and child are still at home." Doctor Liu said.
"Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to take them to the princess's mansion," the old lady said.
"Thank you, old lady, for your great kindness and virtue, which I will never forget." Dr. Liu said respectfully.
"Old Madam, here are the banknotes that Madam gave me. I haven't touched any of them." Doctor Liu respectfully handed the banknotes to Aunt Qing.
Aunt Qing took the banknote and put it in the old lady's hand. The old lady looked at the banknote in her hand and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so she gave the banknote to Aunt Qing and said, "Tell him to keep the banknote."
, how can you take out Madam’s reward so easily?”
Aunt Qing returned the banknote to Dr. Liu and said to him: "Doctor Liu, you should understand what the old lady means. Just keep the banknote for yourself." Aunt Qing said.
