Abandoning a daughter never abandons, a medical concubine should be self-reliant

Chapter 83 Concubine Xian coma
Concubine Xian leaned on the pillow, let Li Siqi sit by the bed, and said weakly: "Miss Li, I heard that Your Majesty has authorized you to re-investigate the case of Imperial Physician Ji Hongji."

Li Siqi was a little surprised when she heard the words, "How did the empress know?"

"It's not important. You will leave the palace tomorrow. I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Imperial Physician Ji. I don't know what the final case will turn out, but I want to say sorry to you." Xian After finishing speaking, the concubine couldn't stop panting, breathing heavily.

Li Siqi hurriedly helped her to comfort her chest, and asked puzzledly, "Why did your mother say such a thing?"

Although he was puzzled and anxious, but seeing Concubine Xian's pained appearance, he still said: "Take a rest first, we will talk about it later!"

Concubine Xian paused for a long while, and said slowly: "I don't know how to say it specifically, and I can't explain it clearly in one or two sentences. I only blame the injustice of the heavens. I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me!"

What?Ji Hong's death is actually related to Concubine Xian?
However, all the previous clues showed that many people were suspicious, but none pointed to Concubine Xian!
How did that happen?

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? I'm so confused!" Li Siqi said anxiously.

Concubine Xian felt exhausted as if she had been drained of all her energy when she finished speaking just now. I really didn't know what to say, so she said quietly: "I haven't thought about what to say, and I'm too tired today. The flood is under control, and on the day of the re-investigation of the case, if you need my cooperation, please come to me again! Come back!"

Before Li Siqi could ask again, Concubine Xian on the bed had already closed her eyes.

You can't find anything if you ask left and right, so let's talk about it when the case is re-investigated!

Li Siqi bowed and took her leave, and returned to her own room.

Nanny Gui was waiting at the door with a food box and a lantern in her hand. When she saw Li Siqi coming back, she ran up to meet her, "Miss Li, I heard you're leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, Nanny, come in quickly!" Li Siqi let her into the room while answering.

After entering the room and lighting the lamp, Nanny Gui put down the food box and took out a wishful-shaped purse embroidered with Tilian on a blue background from her sleeve.

Stuffed it into Li Siqi's hand, "Miss Li, I don't give you much in return for treating the old slave. I saw that you are a girl who doesn't even wear a purse, so I embroidered one for you, but the color matching was not selected. The blue color is a little darker, don't be disgusted with it!"

Li Siqi's thoughts were still troubled by Concubine Xian's sentence, "I don't kill Boren Boren, but he died because of me." She said a polite word, accepted the purse, and asked, "Mother Gui, how long have you been in Jinle Palace?" gone?"

The other party didn't expect her to ask this sentence suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Speaking of which, I am also an old man in this palace. This old slave of Jinle Palace has been here since Concubine Xian came into power. I don't know where the girl came from. This question?"

Li Siqi thought about it, and if servants can't talk about the master's affairs, then don't mention the concubine Xian, just talk about Ji Hong, so she asked cautiously: "Then do you know about the imperial doctor Ji Hong who committed suicide in prison 15 years ago?" ?”

Nanny Gui frowned and thought for a while, "That season's imperial physicians seldom came to Jinle Palace for her mother's peace of mind."

After a pause, she seemed to think of something suddenly, "Oh, yes. The old slave remembered a strange thing!"

"What's the matter? Nanny, tell me quickly." Li Siqi was so nervous that her heart was beating fast, she urged.

"It should have happened more than ten years ago. At that time, the old slave was still serving in the inner hall of Jinle Palace. One afternoon, I figured that the concubine Xian would wake up, so I sent Jieshu soup there. Before I reached the entrance of the hall I vaguely heard her crying and saying, "Stop it, let off Doctor Ji, let me go, and let yourself go!"

I didn't know what was going on inside, so I didn't dare to enter rashly. I took a quick glance and saw a figure in green shirt standing inside. I didn't know if it was a man or a woman, so I left lightly! "

Let Doctor Ji go?But in the end, he still died, which means that the person in the blue shirt didn't let Doctor Ji go.

And the concubine Xian did have an indistinct connection with the murderer!
If that's the case, she would be an accomplice of the principal culprit and a half-murderer if she knew it but didn't report it, she would cover up the criminal!
And her son Gao Qiji is her savior and has helped her many times. If Concubine Xian is implicated in Ji Hong's case, will Gao Qiji forgive herself?

Li Siqi couldn't bear to think about it any longer, and reluctantly sent Nanny Gui away.

Sitting back at the table, staring blankly at the food box, motionless.

Recalling all the things that happened since I met Gao Qiji, I have mixed feelings in my heart.

Without the slightest desire to eat, Li Siqi simply lay on the bed with all her clothes on.

She stared blankly at the top of the tent with her eyes open, but she didn't feel sleepy.

I don't know how long it's been like this, but when she finally lost consciousness and wanted to fall asleep, a sharp voice from outside startled her, "It's not good, Concubine Xian is gone?"

Li Siqi was so frightened that she quickly got up and ran to Concubine Xian's bedroom.

The hall was brightly lit, Shangguan Yunwan and Lan Ling stood by the bed, and some maids and eunuchs serving in the outer hall knelt down together.

Nanny Gui also hurried over after Li Siqi came.

The emperor came surprisingly fast, and before Li Siqi had time to check it out, he rushed to Concubine Xian's bed with the imperial physician.

Everyone bowed to the emperor one after another.

The imperial physician successively probed the concubine Xian's breath and the aorta of the neck.

Then he knelt down in horror and said: "My condolences to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed away!"

In an instant, there was a burst of crying and wailing in the hall!
The emperor staggered a few times, slumped on the edge of the bed, and wept bitterly.

Zhou Defu cautiously persuaded him from the side: "My condolences to Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon's body!"

The emperor cried silently for a while, wiped his face, took a deep breath, and ordered: "Quickly call King Shuo back to the palace!"

Someone took orders.

The emperor turned to the people in the hall and asked in a deep voice: "It's all right, what did Concubine Xian say and just left? Tell me what's going on?"

The kneeling people fell silent, the hall was completely silent, and the emperor's cold gaze swept over them one by one.

First, the imperial doctor replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, according to the remains of Concubine Xian, she was suffocated to death by someone covering her mouth and nose!"

The emperor's face became even uglier, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

Shangguan Yunwan's body trembled, tears rolled down like broken pearls, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Return to the emperor, the last one with the concubine tonight is Dr. Li, what happened to them, we don't know .”

Lan Ling wanted to get rid of the suspicion as soon as possible, and echoed in a trembling voice: "Yes, the concubine Xian said she was unwell today, and she didn't have dinner. After dismissing the slaves, only Miss Li was left alone in the bedroom."

The emperor's eyes fell on Li Siqi, and he asked coldly, "Li Siqi, tell me!"

Encountering such a thing, Li Siqi was also a little at a loss, with various emotions intertwined in her heart, she straightened her body, and replied in a leisurely manner: "Go back to the emperor, tonight the civilian girl did chat with the concubine Xian for a while."

"What are you talking about?" the emperor asked.

Li Siqi didn't intend to talk about the content of the conversation, but he didn't expect the emperor to ask such detailed questions.

After organizing the language, Li Siqi replied truthfully: "My lady asked about the Minnv asking His Majesty to re-investigate the case of Ji's family. She said that Master Ji's death had something to do with her!"

The emperor looked at Li Siqi without blinking, and at this moment, Li Siqi wanted to show that she was not lying, and she didn't care about the rules that it was disrespectful to look directly at the emperor.
