The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C234

Chapter 233 – Proof of innocence

“I promise to give Imperial Concubine Qin an explanation within three days. It’s just that before I do, please keep quiet and alert her.” As for the An Shen Tang that you consumed previously, it is possible that it was poisoned as well. From the looks of it, you look to be in a bad mood, so I’ll discuss the matter of the antidote with Imperial Physician Lin when he returns. ”

“Alright, this is my last chance for you.” Qin Luofei was so angry that she kept coughing. Last night, she had caught a cold just to wait for this man.

“Pay attention to your body, this one will take his leave.”

None of them mentioned what happened last night again, as if it had never happened.

After Leng Mu left, Qin Luofei went mad with rage. He really didn’t even mention last night, as if it didn’t matter whether he went or not.

“Miss, what happened to you and Master Leng? Wasn’t it fine before? ” Daihua had been standing off to the side in a daze. The two who used to practice the sword together were now like enemies.

“When did I get along with him? Making use of my trust, it’s because I, Qin Luofei, was blind. ” The more angry she was, the worse her cough became. Daihua kept slapping him on the back.

“Miss, calm down. I think that Master Leng would not do such a thing. Sunflower helped Leng Mu speak up.

“You cannot easily trust anyone in the palace, no matter who it is. Recently, my body has been feeling very weak. I think this soup has already been drugged. ”

“Then what do we do now? If even the Master Leng cannot believe it, then call someone to help cure the young miss’ illness. ”

Qin Luofei went silent. The person she didn’t want to suspect the most was him, but it was too much of a coincidence that he came just now. Furthermore, both he and the Imperial Physician Lin had a mysterious feeling, coming to the palace seemed to not just be a simple treatment for illnesses.

Leng Mu went back to the Taiyuan Hospital and told Lin He about this matter. Lin He never thought that there would actually be a servant girl who would dare to come to the Taiyuan Hospital and poison him.

“How are you going to deal with this?” Lin He asked.

“Make out the antidote first and treat Imperial Concubine Qin. Since the An Shen Tang is being consumed every day, I believe they will come back in the next few days.” Then we’ll know who sent them. ” Leng Mu felt uneasy. Imperial Concubine Qin had actually been poisoned by the medicine he had brewed. No wonder she suspected him.

“Alright, I’ll bring An Shen over to see what poison it is.” Lin He said.

Leng Mu had already arranged the traps and was waiting for them to take the medicine next time. The next day, he hid in his room for a long time and didn’t see the maid that had drugged the medicine. Could it be that they noticed?

“Leng Mu, there’s no need to wait today.” Lin He walked out and explained everything to Leng Mu.

This poison was only given to them once every three days. This was a type of virus that would cause one’s body to feel weak. After taking it for a long time, the virus would invade one’s body, causing them to die abruptly. Fortunately, she found it in time, or the consequences would have been dire if Qin Imperial Concubine took it for a long period of time.

“Does that mean they’ll come back in three days?”

“If I’m not wrong, I’ll definitely come to drug you in three days.” Lin He said with certainty.

Leng Mu had already made preparations; in these three days, it just so happens that he would be able to prove his innocence. He came to the Huishang Hall to tell Qin Luofei about this matter, and requested her to come to the Taiyuan Hospital three days later to observe the situation. Qin Luofei agreed. She wanted to see who would put her to death.

Very quickly, the third day arrived. They had already done all this to trick outsiders into thinking that no one was in Taiyuan Hospital. He hid in a corner and observed. After waiting for a long time, a servant girl finally appeared at the entrance of Taiyuan Hospital.

“She’s here, the same as last time.” Leng Mu said softly.

The maidservant looked left and right, then came in and poured the white powder into the soup, after which he stirred a few things before leaving in a hurry. Leng Mu and Qin Luofei immediately followed. Because it was daytime, the two of them were especially careful. If Emperor Ming saw him together with Master Leng, it would definitely arouse suspicion again.

However, Xingqing’s maid walked in a very off direction. There were very few people who walked in this place. Even the patrolling guards were rarely seen.

“Isn’t this the place where the Concubine Qin is imprisoned?” If not for this accident, Qin Luofei would have forgotten about this woman. From the looks of it, the poisoner had already revealed herself.

Just as she expected, the servant walked to the secluded courtyard in Concubine Qin and did not come out again.

“I’ve already put it in.” The servant said to the Concubine Qin.

“Well done. She’s the one who caused me to live a life like this, and I want her to live the same life as I do. In a few more days, the poison in her body will invade her bone marrow and no one will be able to save her. ” Concubine Qin laughed out loud.

Qin Luofei had never thought that Concubine Qin would still not dare to stop until now. It seemed that she was spared lightly.

“Do you believe me now?” Leng Mu looked at Qin Luofei who was at the side and asked.

“I misunderstood you before, but I never thought that this matter was related to her. She doesn’t want to live anymore.” It was only because of her excessive compromise in his previous life that she had ended up like this. It seemed like the Concubine Qin could not be left alive in order to avoid future troubles.

“What do you mean?” Leng Mu saw hatred in her eyes.

“As long as she lives a day, she will think of all sorts of ways to plot against me, so …”

Qin Luofei came up with a plan to make her admit that she had poisoned the woman herself. If Emperor Ming knew that someone had set up a trap, he would definitely not forgive them.

“How can I help you?”

“It’s necessary. That means I’ve been diagnosed as suffering from a serious illness. Of course, this is only when she sends someone to investigate.” Leng Mu quickly understood his intention for saying this.

“Alright, I understand.”

In order to not arouse suspicion, the two of them moved to the left and to the right.

Qin Luofei did not return to the Huishang Hall, but instead dragged her tired body to the Jade Phoenix Hall. Although the Imperial Consort Yu was grounded, he could still visit.

Walking into the Jade Phoenix Hall, Qin Luofei smelled a sweet fragrance. Qin Luofei looked around. This kind of smell was a bit strange, she didn’t see any trees blooming, what kind of smell was this?

“Sister Qin, you’re here.” When Imperial Consort Yu saw Qin Luofei come to visit him, her originally anxious face broke into a smile. The current Imperial Consort Yu was completely disappointed in him.

“Recently, I was not feeling well, so I did not come to see you. “You’ve lost a lot of weight in just a few short days?” Qin Luofei and Imperial Consort Yu arrived at the courtyard and slowly sat down on a wooden chair. As if they were sisters who had not seen each other for a long time, both of them tightly held their hands to express their concern.

“If not for this incident, I would never have thought that the Emperor Ming would kill me because of this incident.” Imperial Consort Yu’s voice trembled, and her eyes turned red.

“Don’t be sad. You should know by now that the only person you can truly rely on in the Imperial Palace is yourself, right?”

“I know, but I’m still a bit sad right now.”

“If you want to cry, just cry.”

Imperial Consort Yu snuggled up to Qin Luofei’s shoulder and sobbed without a sound, and only after a long time did she calm down.

“Why don’t you see trees blooming in your courtyard, but there’s a fragrance. Do you smell it?” Qin Luofei raised her doubts.

“Ever since I came back from prison, I’ve been smelling this fragrance, but it’s pretty fragrant. Maybe it’s the fragrance of the flowers coming from the palace next door. What happened to Qin Luofei? Aren’t you used to smelling this fragrance? ”

“No, I’m just asking out of curiosity.”

“Emperor Ming confined me for a month. I think he won’t be able to forgive me in the future? It seems like no one can match his feelings for the Empress Leng as to why he threw her into the Ten Thousand Beast Pit back then. ” The Imperial Consort Yu cared a lot about women who loved men dearly, and it was also because of this that she took the risk to go to the Ten Thousand Beast Pit to take a look.

“His feelings for the Empress Leng? If he had any feelings for the Empress Leng, he wouldn’t kill her. Maybe now he’s just feeling guilty about missing out on a woman he can take advantage of. ”

As Qin Luofei spoke of this matter, her face darkened.

“If Emperor Ming dotes on you like this, why do you seem so angry when you mention him? Sister Qin, do you love your majesty? ” Imperial Consort Yu could not help but question.

Although she was like a sister to Qin Luofei, in terms of love, she had always been very indifferent.

“Love? Didn’t you love Emperor Ming a lot? But what did he do to you? ” Qin Luofei referred the matter to the Imperial Consort Yu.

“That’s true. It’s better to love yourself than to hurt yourself.” Imperial Consort Yu was depressed, she could not eat or sleep well during this period of time.

“It’s rare for us to be together today, so let’s not talk about such unhappy things. Seeing how thin you are, let’s eat together. One person must not have an appetite. ” Qin Luofei suggested.

“Xiao Qin, go prepare the food.” Imperial Consort Yu immediately gave the order.

A table full of sumptuous dishes had already been prepared, so Qin Luofei and Imperial Consort Yu took their seats. She personally picked up a piece of meat and placed it into Imperial Consort Yu’s bowl.

“You have to eat more and take care of yourself.” Qin Luofei looked at Imperial Consort Yu with a pained expression.

Imperial Consort Yu picked up the piece of meat she gave him and ate it, but she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and ran outside. Qin Luofei was baffled. What was going on?

Imperial Concubine Qin, Imperial Consort Yu has vomited every time she eats food ever since she returned from prison. She said that the prison environment is something she will never forget. Xiao Qin explained.

“No wonder she’s so skinny. It must have been hard on her.” Qin Luofei put down her chopsticks and walked out.

“I’m fine, continue eating.” The Imperial Consort Yu continued to retch. Qin Luofei became more and more confused, was it really because she was not used to prison?

“Why don’t I ask the Imperial Physician Lin to let you see? This won’t do.”

“No need, now that I’m grounded, if I call the royal doctor over, I’m afraid there will be rumors outside saying that I’m feigning illness for the sake of obtaining sympathy. I’ve always been in good health. I believe I’ll be fine in a few days. ”

Imperial Consort Yu tactfully rejected.

“But I’m worried about your body.” Qin Luofei still had the poison in her body, but after taking the medicine from the Imperial Physician Lin, she had just noticed that she had improved a little. When she saw that the Imperial Consort Yu’s health was not very good, she couldn’t help but become suspicious.

“It’s alright, let’s go in to eat.” Imperial Consort Yu vomited until her face turned green, then she returned to the dining table. She only drank a little bit of soup before putting down her cutlery.
