Chapter 253 Who Poisoned Me?
Chapter 253 Who Poisoned Me?
Jiaorou was shocked to see Lin Daiyu's unsteady steps and dazed expression. She hurried forward to support her as she was about to fall, and carefully helped her to the bed.
After Daiyu slowly lay down, he gently patted the back of her hand and soothed her:
"Don't worry, sister. Rest for a while."
Seeing this, Xiaowan, who was standing by, quickly poured a cup of warm honey water and brought it to Daiyu's mouth.
Time passed minute by minute, and after about half an incense stick of time, Daiyu's originally pale face gradually regained color, and the feeling of dizziness gradually subsided.
She blinked her eyes gently and felt that her head was no longer heavy and dizzy, and her body slowly regained its strength.
Jiaorou stared at Daiyu intently, and only felt relieved when she saw that her complexion had improved.
But when she thought about what would happen if Daiyu fainted in a place where no one was around, Jiaorou couldn't help feeling worried.
She gave a wink to the maids serving beside her, and they understood and left the room, leaving her and Daiyu alone.
Jiaorou approached Daiyu and asked softly, "Are you feeling better now?"
Daiyu nodded slightly, her expression full of helplessness, and said with a sigh:
"Sister, you may not know that lately, every morning, evening, and dusk, I have been feeling dizzy and weak.
I think maybe the fetus in my belly is growing too fast, or maybe it's just a lack of Qi and blood...
Daiyu finished speaking, gently stroking her belly, and whispered to herself:
"When you come out, mother will be at ease."
Just as Daiyu was thinking that Jiaorou had been worrying about her for a while, she decided to spend some time drinking tea and chatting with her sister today.
So Daiyu asked Xiaowan to go to the kitchen and get some cakes that the concubine liked.
After that, she looked at Jiao Rou and said softly:
"Sister, during those snowy times, I asked them to go to a clean place and roast several jars of snow water. Let's use it to make tea today."
After Daiyu finished speaking, she asked Xiaoling to boil the snow water, put in the scented slices and wolfberries, and make a pot of hot fragrant tea.
Jiaorou's eyes lit up, as if she had found some treasure. She smiled and said to Daiyu, "This is the first time I've drunk tea like this!"
After saying that, he walked to the table, took a deep sniff, and laughed heartily: "Sure enough, this tea is fragrant!"
Daiyu couldn't help laughing when she saw Jiaorou's happy expression.
Just as she was thinking about playing a few games of chess with Jiaorou and chatting about interesting things that happened recently, suddenly, a light figure appeared at the door - it turned out to be Xiaoling who walked in.
Xiaoling came quietly behind Daiyu, carrying a plate of snacks. She leaned over slightly and whispered in a very soft voice:
"Miss, the eldest wife is here."
Upon hearing this, Jiaorou and Daiyu were both shocked and stood up from their seats in an instant.
They looked hurried and quickly reached out to tidy up their slightly messy clothes and hair, then walked quickly towards the courtyard, ready to pay their respects to the eldest lady.
After a while, Jiaorou and Daiyu came into the yard.
At this time, the eldest wife was already standing under the wintersweet tree in Cuizhu Garden.
She turned around with a smile on her face and looked at Jiao Rou and Daiyu in front of her with gentle eyes.
After seeing them bowing politely, the eldest wife smiled and said:
"Hey, we are all sisters, why be so polite?
Let’s go inside and talk.”
As she spoke, the eldest wife took the lead and walked towards the house, followed closely by Jiaorou and Daiyu, and they entered the room together.
Maybe she left in a hurry, or maybe Daiyu was a little nervous when she thought of the black clothes in the room of the late Lady.
For some reason, they had just come to the outer room to chat with the eldest lady, and now she felt a little dizzy again.
She frowned slightly, her face turned pale, and she was about to faint, but she was attracted by Xiaowan who came in.
The eldest wife raised her head slightly, and was just thinking of talking to them, when she saw that Daiyu was feeling unwell again.
She asked hurriedly and concernedly:
"Yufujin, are you feeling unwell again?
Sit down and rest for a while.
I'm pregnant, what's going to happen if I keep going like this for a long time!"
She hurriedly called Cailian and ordered, "Go to the gatehouse quickly and ask the servants to find a doctor!"
As soon as Cai Lian left, Daiyu bowed slightly to thank the eldest lady, then closed her eyes, leaned back on the bed and rested for a while.
Seeing Daiyu like that, the eldest wife laughed at her. She thought: "You're dizzy every other day, and you're still thinking about having a baby. With such a weak body, huh!"
But then he thought again: Sick Xishi is Sick Xishi, she would have given birth to that child!
I want to see who has the last laugh!
When Daiyu opened her eyes again, the doctor had already arrived.
The doctor gently placed his hand on Daiyu's wrist. After a long time, he looked at Daiyu's pupils again out of concern, and then gently placed his hand on Daiyu's big belly and listened to the fetal movement for a while.
Finally, he shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said to the eldest wife: "Report to the eldest wife, the concubine has been poisoned!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Jiao Rou hurried to the doctor and asked anxiously:
"How could he be poisoned? How did he get poisoned?"
The eldest wife immediately started to act like the eldest wife. She looked at the doctor sternly and asked loudly, "Doctor, please explain clearly, how did she get poisoned?
The prince is not in the palace, and as the eldest wife, if I encounter such a thing, the prince will definitely think that I don’t care about the people in the palace! "
The doctor hurriedly clasped his fists and explained to the first wife, "Don't worry, Madam, she has been poisoned by a slow-acting poison.
The ingredients in her pregnancy-maintaining medicine are incompatible with a certain food.
They knew that Concubine Jin was taking pregnancy-preserving medicine, yet they still let her eat that kind of food. They did it on purpose."
Everyone nodded, and the maids took the doctor downstairs to write a prescription, leaving only the three of them in the room.
The eldest wife came to Daiyu's bedside and comforted her softly:
"Don't worry, this huge palace won't let any criminals get away!"
Daiyu nodded hastily, forced a smile and said to the eldest lady:
"Yu'er, I'm so sorry for causing you so much worry and trouble!"
The eldest lady sat for a while and then left quickly on the pretext of letting Daiyu have a good rest.
After the eldest wife left, Jiaorou and Daiyu couldn't help wondering:
How could he get poisoned out of nowhere?
Who poisoned him?
What foods are incompatible with pregnancy-maintaining drugs?
