Before Liu could ask, Ling Ruo had already stared at her flushed cheeks and said, "Mr. Qian, do you still feel hot and uneasy now?"
When she mentioned this, Mrs. Liu became upset and said with a forced smile: "Yes, I don't know what's going on. Anyway, it's getting hotter day by day. Sometimes I feel like my whole body is about to burn. Why?"
The imperial doctor still can't explain why, so he only asked me to eat a lighter diet."
Nala heard this and showed pity, "Oh, I'm so pitiful for Mr. Qian."
"For things that Imperial Physician He can't explain, I may be able to explain something to Noble Qian." Ling Ruo's words cheered up Ms. Liu and said quickly: "Please give me some advice, please."
Mrs. Liu has been trapped by this matter for a long time. She is suffering every moment of every day, and the dragon fetus is gradually showing signs of instability. If she were not a determined person, she would have lost her mind.
Ling Ruo nodded and said to Mrs. Liu, "I wonder who handles the ginseng soup that Mr. Qian usually takes?"
Mrs. Liu's eyes suddenly fell on Haitang, who quickly stepped forward and said, "Concubine Hui Xi, she is a slave."
Just when Haitang was replying, Ling Ruo had already stepped aside, exposing the broken porcelain pieces mixed with red ginseng behind her to everyone's eyes. Haitang didn't understand what this meant at first, but after seeing it
When there was a pattern of orioles and willows on a piece of porcelain, he suddenly woke up and said in shock: "Ah, this is a stew pot used by nobles. Why is it broken? And... and why are there so many red ginseng?"
"The red ginseng fell out of the stew pot. This palace's servants and Eunuch An can all testify to this." As soon as Ling Ruo finished speaking, An Lu hurriedly picked up and said, "The Queen and the nobles have learned from each other.
The stew pot was originally empty in the cupboard, but later Xiao Zhengzi, who was beside Concubine Xi, accidentally broke the stew pot and discovered that there were many red ginseng inside."
Nala exclaimed when he heard this, and said in astonishment: "This makes me confused. Since the stew pot is empty, where does the red ginseng come from?"
Guarjia said from the side: "Because the stew pot is hollow and the red ginseng is in the interlayer. If it hadn't been broken by chance this time, I'm afraid the dragon fetus in Qiangui's belly would have been in danger."
Liu's face looked ugly. Doctor He once suspected that she had taken red ginseng, but after checking everything, no problem was found. Unexpectedly, the problem turned out to be in the stew pot.
Before she could say anything, Ling Ruo said coldly: "Haitang, do you know your guilt?"
Haitang looked at Ling Ruo in horror, knelt down with a plop, waved her hands vigorously and said: "It's none of my business, I don't know anything."
"I have heard from Eunuch An that you have been simmering Mr. Qian's ginseng soup, and you have always kept the stew pot. Who else is there besides you?" When things have reached this point, Ling Ruo still hasn't figured out one thing.
How did Wen Ruqing make Haitang willingly use this problematic stew pot? To solve this doubt, we can only start with Haitang and ask her to tell the truth.
"Slave, there really isn't one." Haitang was so anxious that she burst into tears. She had just learned that there was something wrong with the stew pot, and had no idea before.
On that side, Ms. Liu was so angry that she turned pale and could not speak. In Changming Xuan, besides Jin Gu, the one she believed in the most was Haitang. She never expected that in the end, it was Haitang who was behind everything.
her children.
Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "Haitang, the facts are all there. It's useless for you to deny it. You'd better deal with the truth."
"Slave..." Haitang has never done anything. What should she do? Haitang, who has no master, grabbed the corner of Mrs. Liu's clothes and cried out: "Master, you believe me, you are so kind to me, how can I do this?"
Will betray you."
Mrs. Liu was already extremely angry, and when she saw her face again, she became even more angry. She slapped Haitang hard on the face and cursed angrily: "Who else could it be if it wasn't you? Haitang, you
It’s caused me so much pain!”
Jin Gu was equally angry and shouted: "Haitang, if you still have a shred of conscience, please tell the person who entrusted you."
Haitang felt unspeakable grievance in her heart. She cried and said: "No one masters slaves, and slaves have never harmed their masters. The matter of the stew pot..." She was about to say that the matter of the stew pot was none of her business.
Suddenly he remembered something and said hurriedly: "I have remembered that this stew pot was given to me by the maid next to Concubine Hui. I still remember her name, which is Fangqiao."
Saying this, she quickly recounted what happened that night, and An Lu also confirmed that what she said was true and not false.
At the end, Haitang said even more excitedly: "I know this, Fang Qiao deliberately broke the master's stew pot, and then compensated the defective stew pot to my slave."
Ling Ruo's pupils shrank, and she exchanged quick glances with Guarjia. Neither of them expected that the matter would involve Wen Ruyan. If they were not mistaken, this should be a trap set by Wen Ruqing in advance to divert trouble to the east.
, letting Wen Ruyan take the blame, while she herself reaps the benefits.
Mrs. Liu was a little dizzy from this series of things. She held her waist, which was aching, and said to Haitang: "Such a big thing happened, why didn't you tell me?"
Haitang curled up her neck and said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito: "I'm afraid of being blamed by my master, so I didn't dare to tell you." Before Liu could speak, she quickly hugged Liu's legs and said: "If I knew that I would harm my master, I would give it to you."
No matter how brave I am, I don’t dare to hide it.”
On the other side, Nala stroked the vivid embroidery on her skirt and said nonchalantly: "This matter is getting bigger and bigger. It looks like I have to invite Concubine Hui over."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cong Yi hurriedly ran in from the outside. Regardless of Nala's presence, she ran to Gualjia and whispered in Gualjia's ear. Gualjia's face instantly became extremely ugly, and she whispered: "
Are you sure?"
Congyi nodded affirmatively, "It's absolutely true. The imperial doctor has already passed away. I heard the situation is very bad."
Ling Ruo noticed the whispers between them and felt something was wrong, so she said, "Jinbin, what happened?"
Guarjia said in a deep voice: "There is no need to invite Concubine Hui. I just came to report that Concubine Hui was seriously injured and the imperial doctor is trying to save her."
Ling Ruo was shocked and blurted out: "Sister is injured? How could Hao Duanduan be injured?"
Although she had a problem with Wen Ruyan, she still regarded her as a sister in her heart, wishing her safety and happiness. Therefore, as soon as she heard that something had happened to her, she immediately blurted out the words "sister".
Guarjia shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I just know that it happened in Wen Ruqing's house."
Hearing this, Ling Ruo could not hold back, and walked out quickly without saluting Nala. Guarjia also followed after bowing to Nala.
