Ye Qinglan reflexively wanted to refute, but as soon as her eyes met Gu Xinian's, the words that came to her lips could not come out.
He has always been a very reserved person and rarely shows his true emotions in front of others. But at this moment, the deep worry and concern in his eyes are unconcealed, and the look on his face clearly shows that he has been awake all night and is overly anxious.
The haggard face she had only made her feel sour...
Ye Qinglan didn't say anything more, but instead snuggled into his arms coquettishly: "I'm so hungry."
Sure enough, there was a smile on Gu Xinian's face. He hugged her tightly subconsciously, and his eyes became gentle: "Let the doctor take a look first. If there is no problem, it is not too late to eat."
The imperial physician had been waiting outside and came in after calling out. It was the imperial physician Qin who was about fifty years old and had excellent medical skills. After the imperial physician Qin came in, he was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled nonchalantly and said: "Mrs. Gu has woken up.
Yes, it means that the detoxification decoction has worked. What good news! It seems that the Crown Princess will wake up in less than two days."
Gu Xinian did not shy away and still hugged Ye Qinglan: "She said she was hungry just now. I wonder if she can eat now?"
Doctor Qin smiled and said, "Please allow me to take a pulse."
Gu Xinian reluctantly let go of his hand, but still sat next to Ye Qinglan, letting her lean against him. Ye Qinglan was so weak that she couldn't sit still by herself, so she had no choice but to shamelessly continue to show affection.
Doctor Qin looked at the extremely intimate young couple with a hint of smile in his eyes. Then he sat down by the bed and stretched out two fingers to rest on Ye Qinglan's pulse. Then he closed his eyes. After a while, he
He opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Mrs. Gu drank a little mung bean sweet soup, and the poison was not deep, so she took three doses of the soup to see the effect. However, the remaining poison has not been completely eliminated, and she needs to drink it for a few more days.
Decoctions and food are also allowed, but try to keep them light. Don’t eat anything too greasy and spicy.”
Gu Xinian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
After seeing off Imperial Physician Qin, Ruixue went to report to Queen Gu and others. Ruomei went to find the maid in charge of catering and brought some light and delicious porridge and side dishes from the imperial kitchen.
Ye Qinglan didn't have the strength to get out of bed, so Ruomei simply brought the food to the bedside. She filled a bowl with japonica rice porridge and was about to feed Ye Qinglan. Gu Xinian looked over calmly.
Ruomei reacted immediately and handed the bowl in her hand to Gu Xinian with a smile. Gu Xinian was quite satisfied with Ruomei's knowledge and casually said: "Okay, I don't need you to serve me here anymore, please step aside first!"
There must be some thoughtful things to say between husband and wife, and Ruomei suddenly understood. She responded with a smile and then retreated.
Gu Xinian scooped up the rice porridge with a spoon. He blew it carefully before bringing it to Ye Qinglan's lips. Ye Qinglan was almost drunk by his rare tenderness, so she opened her mouth and swallowed the porridge.
"The rice porridge is so delicious." Ye Qinglan deliberately wanted to make him happy, cheering up and praising: "I have never eaten such delicious rice porridge in all my life. The skills of the royal chef in the royal kitchen are too great.
Okay, it’s obviously just white porridge, but why does it always taste sweet when I drink it?”
Gu Xinian burst into laughter. His eyes became gentler: "You can eat more if you like." As he said that, he picked up another spoonful and handed it over. Just one spoonful at a time. Soon the bottom of the bowl was gone.
People are like iron rice and steel. This sentence is not at all wrong. After drinking a bowl of warm and sweet rice porridge, Ye Qinglan, who was originally depressed and weak, became much more energetic and had the strength to speak: "When did you get the disease?"
Did you know that I was poisoned?"
When the word "poisoning" was mentioned, Gu Xinian's eyes suddenly darkened. His eyes seemed calm, but if you look closely, there was clearly a raging fire burning under this calm appearance: "Yesterday, when evening approached,
, I was still working in the official office of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the eunuchs from the palace came. I felt something bad at the time. After hearing the news that you were poisoned, I immediately rode outside the palace. Unfortunately, it was past the time to enter the palace, and the guards
The eunuch at the palace gate refused to let me in. It was His Highness the Crown Prince who rescued me. You were unconscious all the time, and I couldn't worry about it, so I kept guarding you." These words are understated, and you can only appreciate them if you savor them carefully.
to the affection contained in it.
Ye Qinglan's eyes suddenly became a little wet: "It's all because of my carelessness that I made you worried..." When she thought of him silently guarding her all night, a hint of sweetness filled her heart. This sweetness
There was a hint of sadness and regret in his heart.
Just a few days ago, the two of them were fighting over whether to leave the palace...
She once confidently said that she could protect herself, but the facts taught her a lesson mercilessly. No matter how careful she was, some things were impossible to guard against. Gu Xinian lived in intrigues and intrigues all year round.
Naturally, he understood this much more deeply than she did. That's why he insisted on letting her go back home. Not only did she not appreciate it, she even had a fierce quarrel with him. Gu Xinian must have been very angry with her! But as soon as he heard that
When he heard the news about her accident, he rushed into the palace without thinking, and kept watch over her for so long until she woke up...
He never said a word of love in his mouth, but he always kept her at the top of his heart.
Gu Xinian originally had a lot of words to teach others, but when he saw her tearful look, he couldn't say anything. He sighed softly and hugged her tightly: "As long as
I hope you're safe and sound. I'm the only one to blame for this incident. I knew how dangerous the palace was, but I let you stay in the palace out of anger. Fortunately, you weren't poisoned this time, otherwise... I really
I don’t know what will happen to me.”
The last sentence turned into a low sigh. All his fragility and fear were clearly presented before her eyes.
For the first time, she knew that such a light word would make all love words in the world lose their color. Her heart was suddenly filled with sweet and sour emotions, and she didn't even know what to say, so she just stretched out silently.
She stretched out her arms and hugged his waist tightly.
Gu Xinian just hugged her quietly, not even asking for a kiss as eagerly as before. After the heart-wrenching pain last night, even hugging her quietly like this was enough to make him feel happy and satisfied.
No matter what, as long as she is safe and sound. As for the person who is causing trouble behind the scenes...he will never let her go!
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Listening to the movement, it was obvious that there was more than one person.
Gu Xinian calmed down, let go of Ye Qinglan, stood up and opened the door. Standing outside the door were Empress Gu and the Crown Prince, followed by Zhang Yue and Shen Qiuyu.
"I heard that Qinglan has woken up, so I came here to see her." Queen Gu asked as she entered the room. When she saw Ye Qinglan sitting by the bed, her eyes suddenly lit up. Seeing that Ye Qinglan was about to stand up and salute, she hurriedly He said: "You just woke up not long ago and your body is still weak, so you don't need to be so polite. Just sit like this."
To be honest, Ye Qinglan really didn't have the energy to stand up and salute. Since Empress Gu said this, she was happy to sit still without moving, and naturally she couldn't help but say some polite words. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Shen Qiuyu behind the prince.
Shen Qiuyu stood behind the prince, with an expression of joy and joy on his face that was just right, showing due concern without being too disgusting.
Even Ye Qinglan couldn't help but start to think that her relationship with Shen Qiuyu was actually very harmonious after seeing her.
This normality is not normal no matter how you think about it...
It was obvious that Gu Xinian was also a little suspicious. His eyes moved around Shen Qiuyu's face, as if he wanted to find some clues from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. In fact, he had been thinking about it all last night. One night. If the mastermind behind the scenes is not a member of Concubine Zheng's group, it must be Shen Qiuyu. If there is a chance to do something convenient, Shen Qiuyu is more likely to do it.
However, this does not mean that Concubine Zheng's suspicion is reduced. There seems to be no one else but Concubine Zheng who has the courage and ability to put people in the kitchen of Fengyidian...
"I have personally reviewed the people in the kitchen one by one." The prince was busy for most of the night and only slept for less than two hours. His face was not too good: "When Lin was making sweet mung bean soup, Everyone in the kitchen was basically present. The ingredients were prepared by the cook, and the bowls and chopsticks were prepared by the maid in the kitchen. When Lin made the sweet mung bean soup, she tasted it herself for a few mouthfuls before putting it in the bowl. Since Mrs. Lin was safe and sound, indicating that there was no problem at that time. However, Mrs. Lin later went to wash her hands and then brought the sweet mung bean soup to Mrs. Mo’s room. In that short period of time, the bowl was filled with It is mixed with torreya powder. This kind of torreya powder is okay to eat alone, but when mixed with mung beans, it creates toxins that are mutually reinforcing. If eaten together, it can range from coma to fatal."
Having said this, the prince paused and glanced at Gu Xinian meaningfully: "There is indeed torreya powder in the kitchen of Fengyidian Palace. However, such uncommon ingredients will not be left out casually. .The person who was able to find this in such a short period of time and take advantage of others’ surprise must be the people in the kitchen.”
Although Concubine Lin made the sweet soup with her own hands, she definitely did not know where the ingredients were placed. In other words, Concubine Lin was undoubtedly framed.
However, the prince would never say these words. He just hinted implicitly. With Gu Xinian's shrewdness, it was certainly impossible not to hear them.
Gu Xinian said calmly: "Since His Highness has examined these, he should have found out the real culprit." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
