The two returned to Jinyang Palace, said goodbye to Ximen Xianchu, and left the palace.
"Why don't you explain it to the queen?"
Sitting on the carriage returning home, Su Ranhua asked.
"Didn't you hear my mother say that my father also helped her? Why did I want to ruin their relationship?" Ximen Hao said nonchalantly.
Su Ranhua looked at Ximen Hao blankly for three seconds. It turned out that under such a handsome and cold face, there was actually a heart of filial piety hidden.
Although the queen is the most noble woman, she still lives and enjoys herself under the protection of men's lies.
The journey was dull and silent. As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Doctor Liu also rushed to the North Palace on horseback.
"Why are Doctor Liu here?" Ximen Hao asked Doctor Liu who was in a hurry.
"Back to your lord, I have come to the palace to diagnose a girl named Liu'er on the order of the empress." Doctor Liu said with his hands. Although he was only a maid, he had no choice but to come as ordered by the empress.
"Is Liu'er seriously ill?" Ximen Hao frowned slightly, why did he fall ill just after serving Yiyi for a few days?
"Yes, Hao." Just as he was asking, Bai Yiyi had already come out to greet her. Probably because of Liu'er's illness, she looked weak as if she hadn't had a good rest.
"Hao, you are so busy all day that you don't even care about the affairs of the house, let alone just a maid. I didn't expect that my aunt heard about it and sent Dr. Liu. I'm really grateful to Yiyi. On behalf of Liu'er, Yiyi
Thank you, Aunt Queen." Bai Yiyi said.
"Well, I've been quite busy these past two days. Since Doctor Liu is here, I'll go as soon as possible." Ximen Hao nodded.
"Yes." Bai Yiyi responded obediently and silently accompanied Imperial Physician Liu into the palace. Her lowered head covered the flash of cruelty on her face. She said she was busy to give Ximen Hao face.
, he even said he was busy. If he was busy at night, how could he have time to go to the Plum Blossom Garden? Why would he bring Su Ranhua into the palace specially?
Ever since Su Ranhua stepped into the palace, Ximen Hao has had fewer opportunities to meet her. Although there were few in the past, with Su Ranhua, Bai Yiyi always felt that he had much more time to face Su Ranhua.
Su Ranhua listened to their conversation calmly. If she hadn't known that Bai Yiyi sent a letter to the queen to find the imperial doctor, from Bai Yiyi's words, she would have thought that the queen cared about her very much. Even Ximen Hao didn't
The queen has already done what she has to do.
It seems that Ximen Hao really didn't know about the flying pigeons delivering messages, but the pigeons flying around in the sky were flying freely like ordinary birds.
Doctor Liu came to Tingyuxuan and took the sick Liu'er's pulse. His hand stroking his beard suddenly froze.
"What's wrong, Doctor Liu?" Bai Yiyi asked carefully.
"Miss Liu'er is poisoned." Doctor Liu took back his hand to feel the pulse and said.
"Poisoned? How could it be? What kind of poison?" Bai Yiyi opened her eyes in disbelief and asked.
"This poison is called Wu Fu Powder. It came from the palace and rarely spread among the people. Therefore, doctors outside the palace rarely diagnose it correctly. It was originally a means of bringing death. It takes five days from the onset of the poison to death." Doctor Liu
explained.
"Is the Wufu Powder that Liu Er took? Is it the same medicine that the rebel daughter Shu Bin took when she died?" Bai Yiyi asked in surprise.
Liu'er, who was weak and confused, could not help but tremble when she heard Bai Yiyi's words.
"Exactly." Doctor Liu nodded.
"How could Liu'er be poisoned by this kind of poison? Does Dr. Liu have an antidote?" Bai Yiyi asked nervously.
"There is no antidote for Wufu Powder. You need to rely on acupuncture to release the poisonous gas in your body, and you can recover with a hot bath of prepared medicinal herbs. Fortunately, I came in time. If I had been looking for a doctor outside the palace, everything would be over after five days."
It's too late." Doctor Liu said.
"It sounds very troublesome. Can Dr. Liu come to the Northern Palace one after another? After all, Liu'er is just a girl." Bai Yiyi said worriedly.
"If the young lady trusts me, let me take Miss Liu'er back to our mansion for treatment. There is my young apprentice in the house, and everything she needs is complete, so she can take care of Miss Liu'er at any time." Dr. Liu suggested.
"That's great. I'm grateful for the help of Dr. Liu." Bai Yiyi agreed without hesitation.
"But -" Bai Yiyi paused and said, "It's better not to tell the truth about Liu'er's poisoning to the outside world. Doctor Liu is afraid of causing harm to Liu'er if he angers the person who poisoned her."
"I understand." Dr. Liu stood up and packed the medicine box, "I will go back to my house first to explain. Miss Bai will send Liu'er to her later."
"Okay." Bai Yiyi nodded.
After Doctor Liu left, Liu Er supported his weak body and sat up.
"Liu'er, I'll ask Butler Lin to arrange for you to be sent to Dr. Liu's house for treatment later. Don't worry, you'll be fine soon." Bai Yiyi supported Liu'er and said gently.
"Miss Bai, who is it? Who gave this slave the poison?" Liu Er grabbed Bai Yiyi's arm, her expression a little excited, and her dim eyes flashed with fear.
"Liu'er, who did you offend?" Bai Yiyi asked softly.
"This slave has been doing her job in the palace. When did she sin against anyone? That is the poison in the palace. How can you get it without some ability?" Liu Er really couldn't remember who he had offended.
"Liu'er, you are so careless!" Bai Yiyi held Liu'er's hand. Liu'er's hands were cold due to her frailty and fear.
"Miss Bai, I have been living in the palace. You know me. Please think about me for a moment." Liu'er was like a helpless bird, feeling that she was on the verge of death. Her life was hanging by a thread in confusion. If
Without Dr. Liu, she would die inexplicably once the five-day deadline was up. It was so terrible!
"Actually, the matter is already very clear." Bai Yiyi pursed her lips, as if she had no choice but to say this.
"Miss Bai?" Liu'er looked at Bai Yiyi pitifully.
"Do you know when you started to get sick?" Bai Yiyi asked solemnly.
"Yesterday, I went to the Plum Blossom Court to deliver anti-convulsant medicine to the princess." Liu Er thought for a while and said.
"Liu'er, now I know that you were poisoned and not suddenly sick, so you have to look at this matter from a different angle." Bai Yiyi calmly and thoughtfully guided her.
"Is it the princess?" Liu'er's pupils dilated in disbelief.
"I'm just speculating." Bai Yiyi lowered her voice, "Let me ask you, what was her attitude like when she went to Wutong Residence to find the prince for me?"
"She——" Liu'er recalled the situation at that time, "the princess asked the slave to do her duty, and her words seemed to blame the slave for being troublesome."
"It means she is angry." Bai Yiyi nodded.
"As a slave, you should not interfere in the master's affairs. Although the slave wants to help the young lady, it is normal for the princess to be angry because of this." Liu'er said what she thought after hearing Su Ranhua's words. She was not surprised.
Su Ranhua, on the other hand, was still thinking about the casual atmosphere around her. Although Su Ranhua was a little cold at times, when talking and getting along with her, Liu'er felt an equality that she had never experienced before.
This is why Liu Er asked Su Ranhua to let her return to Plum Blossom Garden.
However, after listening to Bai Yiyi's words, combined with her own situation, Liu'er's body began to tremble slightly. Was it really the poison given by the princess? She actually hated herself so much?
