Chapter 48 Meeting King Zhao
Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties, of medium build and round face, hurried in carrying a medicine box, led by a maid.
Jian Dan simply exchanged a few words of greeting with the princess, and then exchanged greetings with the imperial physician Tang who was waiting on the side, and then was invited into the room.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Doctor Zheng frowned.
Everyone's heart was lifted.
The princess said directly: "You go out first and wait outside, Qian and Ji will follow."
Afterwards, Doctor Zheng looked around again, thought silently for a while, and then bowed and said, "Please lead the way, Princess. I want to go to the place where this lady often stays."
There's nothing wrong with that.
The princess glanced at Concubine Qian's maid, and someone immediately stepped forward to lead the way.
Several people moved to Concubine Qian's bedroom, which was also the place where Concubine Qian often stayed recently.
"The master has been in poor health in recent days and has been recuperating here."
Doctor Zheng nodded slightly. He had already heard about the situation on the way here.
After a careful examination with frowned brows, Doctor Zheng's expression became more and more solemn, and Concubine Qian, who had been somewhat unconvinced, also became uneasy.
Could it be... that it really wasn't Ji's child?
No, it must be Ji!
"princess"
Doctor Zheng stopped in front of a gilt-bronze cloisonné enamel lidded incense burner with animal faces - of course, Ji Yunqing, who didn't know the goods, couldn't think of the name at all, he only knew that it was an incense burner.
He bowed slightly and said, "Princess, I am going to open the lid of the incense burner. Please step back."
Upon hearing this, no one dared to step forward.
What if there is something harmful in here?
When Doctor Tang heard this, he stepped forward and asked, "Did Doctor Zheng find anything? I've looked at it before and didn't find any problems."
Doctor Zheng shook his head: "It's hard to say"
Doctor Zheng opened the lid and scooped out a little bit of ash with a silver spoon. He first observed its color, then twisted it with his hands, and finally put it under his nose and smelled it.
"When was the incense in here burned? Is it still there?"
Concubine Qian answered hastily. She was more concerned than anyone else: "I burned this this morning. These past few days, after taking medicine, I always felt that the room was full of bitter medicine smell. It was very unpleasant, so I asked the maid to light incense."
At this moment, she racked her brains to recall, and suddenly looked at a little maid: "There is still some incense, Taohong, go and get it."
"Ugh!"
Tao Hong agreed crisply and ran over to get an exquisite box. "Here, it's all here."
Doctor Zheng looked at the incense in the box again, then looked at the princess, and finally came to a conclusion.
"The fragrance in the box is fine."
At this time, the princess already understood in her heart: "There is something wrong with the incense I used this morning."
"right"
Doctor Zheng nodded in confirmation, "There's an extra medicine added here. Normal people would be fine if they smell it, but it has a lot of effects on pregnant women. If they smell it too much, they will become irritable and angry."
Concubine Qian couldn't believe it and struggled hard: "Who is it? Who killed me? Killed my child?"
The princess waved her hand and the two maids immediately restrained her.
She looked at Doctor Zheng again and said, "Thank you both for today's matter. Please see if you have any other questions."
"it is good"
The two of them, mainly Doctor Zheng, checked the entire room inside and out and found three or four inappropriate objects. At this time, Concubine Qian was completely speechless.
She couldn't believe it: "Why are there so many?"
No one was in the mood to pay attention to her at this time, so the princess sent the two doctors away in a kind voice and even gave them several times more remuneration.
The two imperial doctors were also very sensible and said that they would never spread what happened today.
After everyone left, the princess's face turned completely cold.
"Go check it out!"
Ji Yunqing had nothing else to do, so he was sent back with several concubines. Concubine Qian was still going crazy from time to time.
One moment she said that it was Ji Yunqing who killed her? The next moment she asked who killed her child?
Anyway, the inner activities are very exciting.
Ji Yunqing never heard how the matter was resolved.
But three days later, the princess suddenly announced: "Qian has lost her child. From now on, she must rest in the courtyard. You are not to disturb her anymore."
Everyone looked at each other and finally agreed.
Ji Yunqing showed no emotion and quietly looked at everyone's expressions.
wrong.
The person behind this should not be the one standing here.
She thought for a while. She hadn't heard of any other accidents happening to anyone else in the mansion, so...either the person wasn't found, or...it must have been done by a pregnant woman.
If the person is not found, the case will have to be left unresolved, but this possibility is not high.
Only if she is pregnant will the two real masters of the mansion protect her. After all, the child cannot have such a vicious mother.
We can only wait until the child is born and then find an opportunity to convict him.
Ji Yunqing's heart sank, and he decided to be more careful next time.
Her hands curled quietly in her sleeves and never touched her abdomen once.
After walking out of the main courtyard, Ji Yunqing was thinking about his next plan when he was suddenly bumped by someone.
She looked up and saw Concubine Zhao smiling at her smugly, holding her not-so-bulging belly: "Oh, Sister Ji, I'm sorry, the baby in my belly kicked me just now, so I bumped into you, is it okay?"
Ji Yunqing was silent, and said sincerely: "...You are such a rare child. You can kick people before you grow up. You are really amazing!"
Concubine Zhao's face changed: "What are you talking about? This is still an unborn child!"
"I just followed what you said. You said he kicked you. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Concubine Zhao was speechless. "Anyway, you can't say that to him. The child will be angry."
"Oh, if you're angry, keep kicking people. Then you better stay away from me. I don't want to be kicked."
Ji Yunqing didn't say much to her and just walked away.
"Stop, I have a child now!"
Concubine Zhao was furious. She stamped her feet and was about to continue when she saw the person coming.
Everyone who had not yet cleared the gate of the courtyard hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty!"
The girls were secretly delighted, fortunately they were able to leave and see the prince.
Ji Yunqing wailed in his heart, he had to work overtime again!
Why are you working overtime in broad daylight?
are you crazy?
He had to pretend to be overjoyed, and when he bowed and stood up, he glanced shyly at King Zhao.
Then she stood there with red cheeks, eyes fixed on the ground, looking shy and not daring to look up.
In short, your expression should not be too cold, otherwise you will not fit in.
Ji Yunqing kept praising herself in her heart. With her acting skills, it would be a pity if she didn't work in the entertainment industry.
King Zhao asked people to stand up as usual, with an apathetic attitude and a cold tone: "What happened just now? Why are you arguing in public?"
How?
Ji Yunqing was furious in his heart, how could the two of them make love in public without quarreling?
How embarrassing that is!
But she still pretended to say, "Your Majesty, I'm fine. I just met you and said a few words. It's nothing serious."
Concubine Zhao glared at Ji Yunqing fiercely, and suddenly said aggrievedly: "My Lord, I don't know what happened just now. I was walking and Sister Ji suddenly bumped into me, and I almost fell down."
