"I feel a lot warmer, Jingxuan, thank you very much." Faced with Lan Xiang's apology, Wei Jingxuan smiled slightly, and then said: "By the way, Sister Lan Xiang, Zheng Jiu said he was going out in the afternoon, you know he is going
Where is it?"
"Zheng Jiu?" Lan Xiang thought carefully for a while and said, "I saw him in the afternoon, but I didn't see him go out. Is there something wrong?"
Wei Jingxuan's expression changed, and she immediately said: "It's nothing, I just asked."
Zheng Jiu didn't go out, that is to say, he never went to Kunning Palace at all. He made up all the words he said before. This Zheng Jiu actually deceived her with lies. How disgusting!
The whole night was speechless. On the next day, Zheng Jiu brought in ginger tea as usual. After Wei Jingxuan asked him to put it down again, her eyes flickered and she said, "What's wrong? Still can't drink it?"
"Yeah, I don't know why. I've been feeling bloated for the past two days. I had to drink it yesterday." When she said this, her eyes turned red and she said, "Father-in-law, do you think I'm going to die?"
Otherwise, why don’t you even want to eat?”
Zheng Jiu said quickly: "Don't say such unlucky words, maybe you will get better tomorrow." After a pause, he said: "I left the ginger tea here, drink it as soon as possible, don't let it cool down,
It’s not good to drink like that. I’ll come get the bowl later.”
Wei Jingxuan said with a grateful face: "I know, thank you father-in-law."
After Zheng Jiu left, she propped up her limp body, fetched the teapot, poured the tea in it, poured the ginger tea into it, and left it for Lan Xiang to drink after she returned.
This was the case on this day, and it was also the case on the third day. On the third day, Zheng Jiu looked quite solemn after leaving Wei Jingxuan's house. After saying something to Li Fu, he hurriedly left the imperial tea room. If Wei Jingxuan saw what
Wherever you go, you will definitely be surprised - Yanxi Palace.
Qi Kuan got the palace man's advice, walked out quickly, and said to Zheng Jiu: "Why are you here?"
Zheng Jiu lowered his voice and said, "Master, I have something to report to the master. It's about Wei Jingxuan."
Hearing this, Qi Kuan's expression changed and he immediately said: "Okay, you come in with me."
In the main hall, Xianyue was talking to Mr. Huang about Yonghuang's marriage. Yonghuang was already fifteen years old and would have his teeth and build a house next year. It was time to get engaged.
Zheng Jiu hit Qian'er and said respectfully: "Master, Wei Jingxuan may have become suspicious of this slave."
Xianyue raised her eyebrows and said, "What's going on?"
"She has always made excuses to avoid taking the ginger tea in front of the slave. The day before yesterday, she also asked the slave to go to Kunning Palace to find the empress, hoping that the empress would hire an imperial doctor for her."
Huang said from the side: "Have you gone?"
Zheng Jiu lowered his head and said: "Of course I didn't go. I tried to deal with her, saying that the Queen felt it was against the rules and refused to invite her, but she didn't seem to believe it."
Mrs. Huang nodded slightly and then said, "My dear, how many days does the imperial doctor of the Song Dynasty say it will take?"
"It will take a total of twenty days. At this moment, there is still six or seven days left." Hearing Xianyue's answer, Huang said in embarrassment: "If it is only one or two days short, it will be over with just a little push. What's the difference?"
Six or seven days to go...what should we do?" She was silent for a moment and said, "My dear, why don't you increase the weight."
"If Wei Jingxuan is indeed suspicious of Zheng Jiu, then no matter how much we increase the dosage, it will be useless, because she will not take ginger tea anymore." Xianyue lowered her head and turned the jade ring on her ring finger, and said softly: "I originally wanted her to get seriously ill.
He died without treatment, and now it seems that he may not be able to survive."
After Xianyue learned that Wei Jingxuan conspired with Yufei and others to harm Changle, she decided to get rid of her. Wei Jingxuan was just a palace maid, not as good as Yufei and others. Not many people in Hongli cared about her life or death; but no matter what, Xianyue
You can't do anything openly, otherwise Yu Fei's scheming will definitely take the opportunity to seize her, saying that she abuses the palace people and has no virtue as a noble concubine.
So, she went to Song Zihua and asked him for a prescription. It was a chronic poison. After being poisoned, she looked like she had been infected with wind and cold. She felt weak all over and coughed non-stop. As long as she took it for twenty days, this person would be cured.
There is no doubt that he will die, but in the eyes of the uninformed person, it is as if he died of a serious illness without treatment.
However, this medicine has a disadvantage, that is, the pulse is obvious. As long as a person who is proficient in medical skills takes a pulse, he will find that the real internal cause is poisoning rather than wind and cold infection. But in the harem, unless you are a slave with a good face, you will usually get sick.
, they all got through it on their own, and they were not qualified to hire an imperial doctor at all, so giving this medicine to Wei Jingxuan would not be a big problem, as long as it prevented her from looking for the queen or concubine Yu.
Zheng Jiu was originally a slave of Yanxi Palace and worked with Qi Kuan. Xia Yue saw that he was quite clever and asked Qi Kuan. She found out that he usually acted steadily and was considered loyal, so she entrusted him with the task one by one.
In order to avoid Wei Jingxuan becoming suspicious, Xianyue first asked Zhou Quan, then deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to transfer Zheng Jiu to other places as a errand. After a while, he found a way to transfer Zheng Jiu to the imperial tea room. Because of Zhou Quan's explanation, Li Fu told Zheng Jiu
Naturally, it is a special treatment.
After Wei Jingxuan fell ill, she boiled ginger tea every day. It was not because of Li Fu's consideration of Wei Jingxuan's little money, but because of Zheng Jiu's initiative. Although Li Fu felt a little strange, there was no need for him to ask more about this kind of thing.
, and agreed immediately.
Wei Jingxuan's so-called illness was actually caused by Zheng Jiu taking the opportunity to add medicine to the tea she drank. But at that time, Wei Jingxuan had already noticed that the tea tasted a bit strange, so she drank half a cup and put it down, but the other half
The tea was still enough to make her "get sick". The ginger tea was just to cover up the taste of the medicine so that Wei Jingxuan would not notice it.
Zheng Jiu suggested: "Master, I can put the medicine in the vegetables. She won't drink ginger tea, but she must eat. In this way, our plan can proceed."
Xianyue said without even raising her head: "Wei Jingxuan is not a reckless person. On the contrary, she is extremely thoughtful and doesn't need to be suspicious. Once she gets suspicious, she will be careful in everything and will not fall into the trap again."
Huang said eagerly: "What should we do? Do we just give up like this? Although Princess He Jing was not killed by her own hands, she has a great relationship with her. This person must not be let go!"
"I know." Xianyue's eyes were cold as she said, "While she is still not very suspicious, Zheng Jiu, go back and tell her that she should go to Kunning Palace in person to beg the queen. Please respect the old master-servant relationship."
Out of love, I hired an imperial doctor for her."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled, Huang said in confusion: "By doing this, aren't you helping Wei Jingxuan? You..."
Xianyue smiled slowly and said: "I just asked Zheng Jiu to tell Wei Jingxuan this way, but I didn't say that I would actually do it." After a pause, she said: "After leaving the imperial tea room, I will ask Qi Kuan to wait in a secluded area.
place, pour the remaining medicine into her mouth. The advantage of this medicine is that it does not look like
If there are any signs of poisoning, no matter how much she eats, it will be fine; she is weak now, and you two should not encounter any resistance. As for her..." Xianyue sneered and said: "She has been sick for such a long time.
, and went out in the cold wind, even if he died, no one would doubt him."
