Chapter 223 (2/2)
”Hmm!” mammy Qian clenched the prescription and nodded hard, ”naturally nothing will happen!”
Hearing the speech, Dong'Er wanted to cry but held back: ”Mammy, go quickly. The imperial doctor will see the girl later.”
Mammy Qian kept an eye: ”if the doctor comes, you must write down every detail. If you prescribe any medicine for the girl, you must not feed it to the girl. Take it off under the pretext of pushing it off until I come back.”
”OK, I've written it down.”
As soon as mammy Qian left the hospital, the palace man guarding the door asked, ”is mammy going out?”
Mammy Qian said with a silent smile, ”the girl has just woke up for a while, and now she is asleep again. Before going to bed, she told her maidservant to go to the eldest childe's yard and give the book to the eldest childe. The eldest childe sent someone to look for it before, and the girl has been asleep. Now the girl wakes up and asks her maidservant to send it to the eldest childe quickly, so that the eldest childe doesn't want to read it.”
Hearing this, the palace people didn't ask much.
Just shortly after mammy Qian left, one of them suddenly made an excuse to go to the bathroom and stayed at a rockery in the backyard. She knocked twice on the rockery with a stone, and a man bent over came out.
”Go back to the palace quickly and tell the Lord that the Lord of Fu'an County woke up today and asked him whether he acted according to the plan.”
”Sister, wait a minute. I'll reply to the master and make sure to bring the reply back before sunset.”
”The Lord of Fu'an County just woke up. There are many people coming to see the sick. In order to avoid attracting people's eyes and ears, I will wait for you at the side door of the backyard.”
”Good sister, little one will leave first.”
After the man left, the palace turned back to the yard. No one knew what she had just done.
After mother Qian went to the eldest childe's yard and returned the book to the eldest childe, she didn't come out. Instead, she circled from the small door of the yard to the corridor in the west, and then crossed the shady path from the corridor to Aunt Huang's yard.
”Why are you here?” Aunt Huang put down her embroidery. ”How do you feel today?”
”Aunt Huang, I'm here to talk to you about something important.”
Seeing that mammy Qian didn't look right, Aunt Huang quickly stepped back and said, ”what's the matter?”
”The girl was poisoned!”
”What!” Aunt Huang's face changed greatly.
Mother Qian made it clear in a few words: ”the girl said that the person who poisoned was very careful and the dose was very small, but now the girl was in poor health, so she asked the maid to come to you and said you had a way to find out.”
After saying this, Mammy Qian knelt down to Aunt Huang: ”I beg my aunt to save the girl.”
Aunt Huang quickly lifted mammy Qian up: ”what are you doing? In my heart, the girl is as important as nuan'er. Since she was framed, how can I stand idly by? Tell me carefully what's going on.”
Mammy Qian didn't know what to say about it. The girl just said she was poisoned, but she didn't know where the poison came from.
After all, the things that girls import every day are thousands of choices, which can't be wrong, not to mention the guard of the imperial doctor.
”If so, it's really tricky.” Aunt Huang listened, ”but don't worry. You go back to the yard first. I'll go to the girl later and see what's going on.”
During this time, the old lady came to Chu Zhi every day. Aunt Huang just wanted to see Chu Zhi, but she didn't have a chance.
It happened that the news came from rongning hall. The old lady was worried about five girls recently. She was ill and was recovering from illness. Aunt Huang could take this opportunity to see Chu Zhi.
”This is a prescription written by our girl. It says it can detoxify. The situation in the yard is unknown. The maidservant dare not go. She is afraid to scare the snake, so she still...”
”Give it to me!” before mammy Qian finished, Aunt Huang understood her meaning, ”I'll send someone to do it!”
