The little palace maid escaped, which made Chu Qiao feel a lot more at ease. She didn't have to worry about being overheard in the conversation for a while.
Seeing the door close, Chu Qiao turned around and looked at the room.
The room is not ordinary. There is only an old table inside. There is an old kettle and a brown porcelain bowl on the table, as well as some dried pastries. Inside is a bed with a plain white bed curtain.
Lifting it open, a section of fair and skinny arm was exposed.
"Xiao Lian... I want to drink water..." A weak voice came from the bed, and his arms shook with difficulty.
Xiaolian is the name of the palace maid just now. Obviously, the woman inside mistook Chu Qiao for the palace maid Xiaolian.
Chu Qiao did not answer, but walked over, poured some water into the porcelain bowl, and walked step by step towards the bed. As the distance got closer, the face of the woman on the bed was revealed.
Although this woman's face is thin and yellow, it cannot hide her remaining beauty, especially her eyes, which look pitiful to anyone who looks at them. She must have attracted the attention of many men at the beginning...
Is this Concubine Mu? The woman who is rumored to have had an affair with her uncle?
"You're not Xiaolian..." Concubine Mu raised her eyes, saw Chu Qiao clearly, and asked feebly. It seemed that she was too interested in everyone who came. People like her were the only ones left.
After taking a breath, what are you afraid of?
"I am the royal physician in the palace."
Chu Qiao brought the water to Concubine Mu's bedside and introduced her identity.
When Concubine Mu heard that the imperial doctor had arrived, she climbed up hurriedly, but she no longer had the strength to carry the bowl. There was a yellowish abscess on the back of her neck. This was not an infectious disease, but a result of being in the room for a long time.
Suppressed, coupled with skin diseases caused by excessive humidity in the room.
"Royal doctor?"
Concubine Mu was half leaning on the bed. She was a little surprised when she knew that the imperial doctor had come. She had been ill for a long time, but only a medical woman came to take a look at her and left some medicine. No one came after that. Concubine Mu felt very sad.
It is clear that no one will take care of her in the future, and she will fend for herself in the cold palace.
Why did an imperial doctor come today?
"I am indeed an imperial doctor. Your sores are caused by humidity and lack of sunlight. It would be better if you ventilate more and go for a walk. Judging from your appearance, it is probably because of this that you are weak. Go back and I will prescribe a prescription.
, ask someone to send medicine over, and it will be cured within a few months."
"Okay? What's the use?" Concubine Mu smiled bitterly. If she was done, she would stay in the cold palace, alone. She might as well be dead if she lived like this.
Seeing Concubine Mu's dejected and helpless look on her face, Chu Qiao felt sympathy in her heart. Could it be that this woman gave up on herself like this because of her uncle?
In Chu Qiao's heart, her uncle loved her aunt the most, but was this love superficial? She didn't know. She looked at Concubine Mu again. She was really a beauty. Maybe her uncle really fell in love with her at first sight.
Can't you help yourself?
When she likes a woman to the point of giving up her dignity and resorting to any means, Chu Qiao really can't believe that she is her uncle.
"Actually, I came to Leng Palace. In addition to seeing Concubine Mu, I also have one thing to ask." Chu Qiao explained the purpose of her visit, hoping that Concubine Mu would not disappoint her and return.
After hearing Chu Qiao's words, Concubine Mu's lips twitched slightly, revealing a sad smile.
"I'm no longer a noble concubine. If you have any questions, just ask me. A dead person like me doesn't want to take any secrets to the grave."
Concubine Mu sighed softly and looked out the window with dim eyes. It seemed that many things made her worried. It wasn't that others wouldn't let her out of the room, but that she didn't want to face the sunshine outside.
"Concubine Mu, I still call you this because the matter I want to ask is related to when you were still the concubine..."
"When I was still the imperial concubine?" After hearing this, Concubine Mu looked away from the window and looked at Chu Qiao doubtfully.
"To be honest, I am Yun Chongjin's niece..."
Chu Qiao's words made Concubine Mu's face even paler. Her indifferent expression just now suddenly became tense, and her eyes flickered, as if something had made her feel uneasy.
"You, you are..." Concubine Mu stuttered.
"You have already entered the cold palace, carrying a disgrace. Even if you want to report me, it is impossible. My real name is Chu Qiao, and Yun Chongjin is my uncle. I am not here to treat you this time, but to treat you."
I want to know what happened to my uncle? What is your relationship with my uncle? I don’t believe that my uncle would have rebellious thoughts for the sake of a beautiful woman."
Although Concubine Mu is beautiful, her aunt is not an ugly woman. How could her loyal and courageous uncle have such unethical thoughts? Chu Qiao didn't believe it and decided that there must be some reason.
Concubine Mu looked at Chu Qiao in shock, her lips trembling for a long time.
"Are you really his niece? Come to the palace..."
"Yes, I came to the palace just for the truth. I want to know whether my uncle should have his entire family executed? Should I, Chu Qiao, be killed for this?"
Chu Qiao looked at Concubine Mu eagerly. Since she had taken life and death lightly, what was she afraid of? If her uncle really died innocently, she would immediately reveal her identity and accept severe punishment.
Concubine Mu was stunned for a long time, looking at Chu Qiao intently, as if she had lost her soul.
"Concubine Mu, tell me, are you really having an affair with your uncle?" Chu Qiao asked again.
"Why? Why are you still asking about this? Isn't it already over?" Concubine Mu suddenly covered her face and started crying, her shoulders shaking slightly because of the pain.
"Do you know? It's not just my uncle who died, but his family, relatives, and even my mother and I were implicated. Dozens of members of the Yun family, big and small, were all shot and beheaded, and their blood was
Flowing into the river, Concubine Mu, if you still have conscience and compassion, tell me the truth and let me know what happened?"
Chu Qiao's nose felt sore, and after saying these words, tears rolled down her face.
Facing Chu Qiao's tears, Concubine Mu also choked up. The secret she had kept strictly for the sake of her life was nothing, and it became a shame for her to live in the cold palace.
"Here you go..."
With trembling fingers, Concubine Mu took out three yellow prescriptions and stuffed them into Chu Qiao's hand.
"These are the three prescriptions your uncle prescribed to the emperor. After something happens to him, I will have someone steal them out and keep them with me..."
prescription?
Chu Qiao was shocked when she heard what Concubine Mu said. She always thought that Master Chong had taken the prescription away, but she never expected that it was in Concubine Mu's hands.
