Chapter 194 I don’t accept your advice!
"What other medicine did she take?"
"Your Highness, there seem to be drugs that affect emotions and cause irritability and impulsiveness, as well as drugs that can cause people to die without knowing it, and also..."
The court doctor looked at the small porcelain bottle that had just been found in Concubine Qian's yard and was placed aside, his old, wrinkled brows were full of confusion.
"There is another kind. Concubine Qian has a drug in her body that can cause someone to lose their child."
Why does Concubine Qian take this medicine?
Others were also very surprised. With such a big mansion, it was inevitable that there would be times when you were ambushed. But how come you, Concubine Qian, had been ambushed so many times?
Ji Yunqing was even more shocked. Is Concubine Qian taking medicine as food?
Suddenly, her body stiffened.
Wait, could it be that someone had drugged her body without her knowing at some point?
No, no, she needs to ask the court doctor to check her pulse.
Others at the scene thought the same thing.
At that time, Concubine Qian, who had fainted, slowly woke up and happened to hear the last words of the court doctor.
She has a drug in her system that can cause someone to die.
Why does she have this drug in her system?
Will she have children of her own?
At this time, Concubine Qian didn't know that she was pregnant. She fainted due to the shock.
After all, Concubine Qian was pregnant with the prince's child, so even if the princess was just pretending, she had to ask with concern: "How is Concubine Qian now?"
The court doctor said: "Princess, fortunately the amount of medicine that Concubine Qian took was not large, but it is not known whether it has any specific effect."
"Can you take care of her body?"
"This... I am only 30% sure."
The princess then asked some more questions.
The court doctor answered one by one.
After understanding the situation, the princess did not force it: "Doctor, just do your best. If you can successfully deliver the child, the palace will reward you handsomely."
He also asked someone to send Qian and the concubine back and take good care of her.
King Zhao did not object.
All he said was: "Clean up the place again."
The place he was referring to was Concubine Qian's courtyard.
Now that Concubine Qian is pregnant, King Zhao must give it more thought.
Concubine Qian was sent back, so the only one left was the maid.
Zhaocai was feeling very nervous. He knelt on the ground with his hands and feet weak and he was covered in cold sweat.
She just exposed someone, even though she was unsuccessful, but she did it for the prince's sake. The prince should not punish her severely.
Right, that is it.
She didn't do anything wrong.
After the chase between the two men just now, the servants had cleaned up the mess, and everyone else sat back in their seats, so Zhaocai became more conspicuous.
King Zhao looked at the maid kneeling below and murmured.
"This maid..."
Zhaocai panicked and bravely defended herself: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I was just confused for a moment and didn't think too much, which led to the misunderstanding."
She turned around and kowtowed to Ji Yunqing with all her might.
"Please, Master, save this slave. Please, Master, please, please, Master, please, for the sake of our past friendship, spare this slave's life!"
"Master, I have always served you wholeheartedly. When I served the young master, I never slept day or night, and I have never been lazy or slack."
As she spoke, she kowtowed while crying. Her forehead quickly became red, swollen, purple, and began to bleed.
Ji Yunqing watched this scene with an expressionless face and remained silent.
However, the person standing next to him saw this and his eyes flickered.
"Sister Ji, I think what this maid said is right. Although she was confused for a moment, she is also loyal. Why not forgive her this time?"
After all, she was the maid with whom he had lived for such a long time, and Ji Yunqing felt uncomfortable seeing her like this.
But she knew very well in her heart that she didn't want such a maid.
Silently, Ji Yunqing raised his head and glanced at Concubine Li who was speaking. He was in a bad mood and his tone became bad: "This matter is up to the prince to decide. Concubine Li, are you trying to take over?"
Concubine Li choked, she took a deep breath, put on a fake smile on her face, and said in a gentle and kind tone: "Sister Ji, what are you talking about? I'm just making a suggestion."
“Oh, then I don’t accept your suggestion.”
Ji Yunqing's tone was flat.
She looked at King Zhao again and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that Concubine Li did not intend to make a decision for you just now. She may just be confused for a moment. Please forgive her this time."
"Your Majesty, I don't have..."
Concubine Li defended herself with red eyes, saying that Ji Yunqing was always looking for trouble. However, after meeting King Zhao's gaze, she dared not speak anymore.
Ji Yunqing was worried that Prince Zhao would punish the maid and let her go back to work in Guihua Courtyard, so she quickly made her attitude clear: "Your Highness, I dare not use this maid again. This time she was confused and reported me in public. Next time, she might dare to put that man in my bed--"
King Zhao shouted, "Ji!"
What a mess this is.
He gave the order directly: "This maid slandered her master, give her 20 strokes of the cane to teach her a lesson. Since Concubine Li thinks this maid is loyal, then you can take her back."
Ji Yunqing was completely relieved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Li standing by almost couldn't hold back her expression, this maid actually became hers!
Zhaocai kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my master."
As long as she can survive these twenty beatings, the matter will be over.
As for the matter of feeling sorry for Concubine Ji, Zhaocai had already forgotten about it. It would be better if he didn't have to stay in Guihua Courtyard!
Concubine Li thought about it for a while, and finally accepted the person: "Thank you, Your Majesty"
After the matter was resolved, the next thing was the one-year-old birthday party.
Nothing else happened and everything went smoothly until we parted ways.
Back in the yard, Ji Yunqing completely relaxed.
Listening to Xuancao scolding the maid who had brought Zhaocai all the way for being heartless and treacherous, she sat in front of the dressing mirror and motioned to Xuancao to take off her jewelry.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also the first birthday party, so it is inevitable to wear some expensive jewelry. Ji Yunqing stretched out his slender white fingers and gently rubbed his scalp: "These jewelry are really too heavy, next time I will wear something lighter"
Xuancao gently took off her jewelry: "Master, this jewelry is already the lightest one. If it is lighter, it will not be suitable for your status and it will not be able to hold you down."
Ji Yunqing snorted twice: "I don't care, I just want it to be gentler!"
She took off the jewelry on her head, the decorations on her body, and the bracelets on her hands. Xuancao also helped her change into light and comfortable home clothes. Only then did Ji Yunqing pick up the whimpering little domestic cub.
She thought about how she had seen people taking care of their children in the past, some of whom would throw the children up and then catch them again. Although she knew that this would not be good if the children could not be caught, she was itching to give it a try.
She first made sure that the child’s crib was soft and had several layers of cushions before she tossed it up, and up… but she couldn’t.
The little guy didn't know what his mother was going to do, so he smiled and stretched out his chubby little hands to play with his mother.
Ji Yunqing put the child down as if nothing had happened and began to change the subject: "By the way, what was the book you presented today?"
How come she has no impression of such a thick book?
This daylily knows.
"Master, you forgot that you put this on the bottom shelf and told no one to touch it or open it.
This time when those people were checking, I thought about what you said and stopped them from opening the books, but Eunuch Shi said, since you don’t want them to look, then we should submit them all together and let His Majesty make the final decision.”
On the bookshelf, or at the bottom...
Ji Yunqing had a bad feeling in her heart, thinking back to when she first started learning to paint, she was young and energetic and seemed to have painted half of the painting.
