After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 164 Chapter 164 Why is she

There was a cold look in the queen's eyes.

The stabbing made Shen Qingci unable to sit still, so he had to stand up and salute: "My daughter-in-law doesn't know."

In terms of family background, the Shen family came from a poor family, and there was an old man, Shen Zhenglang, who had reached the age of retiring and returning to his hometown, and none of the descendants behind him could do anything.

On looks...

Although she is good, but based on what the queen said before, she only realized that she looks good later, obviously not for this.

The rest, talent, character...

There is no way to talk about it.

The Shen family was afraid of losing face, so they covered up the matter of the original body's dementia, wishing that people would forget that the Shen family still had a person like her, how could there be any good reputation spread out.

The only impression the outside world has of Miss Shangshufu's concubine is that she is in poor health and recuperates in Zhuangzi all the year round.

Sick seedlings.

This word just popped out of my mind, and then I contacted the words of Nanny Li that she overheard before...

The previously vague thoughts suddenly became clear in Shen Qingci's mind.

It's because of her reputation as a sick child, and the fact that the Shen family doesn't have much power.

So, even if she just disappeared like this... No one will pursue it, no one will care, let alone think of the queen.

But why?
Why did she kill her daughter-in-law whom she personally chose?
Just afraid of revealing the secret that the third prince is suffering from a "hidden disease"?

But the third concubine is not her, there will be others in the future, she can't kill them all, right?

Before Shen Qingci could come up with a reason to leave, there was a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen like a needle prick.

On the other side of her, the queen was holding the teacup as usual, and looked at her coldly: "Yesterday, what did Lin Yunzheng ask Ye'er for?"

At that time, apart from the maid brought by Shen Qingci, who belonged to Sheng Tingye, the only outsider in that courtyard was Nanny Gao.

Therefore, Shen Qingci subconsciously looked at Nanny Gao at the side, but the other party stood aside with her hands down with a blank expression, turning a blind eye to Shen Qingci's questioning eyes.

The queen took a sip of tea before she said with a faint smile: "Everyone else has been screened out, but you are in that room, why don't you tell me that you didn't hear anything?"

She was clearly smiling, but that smile made Shen Qingci shudder.

Coupled with the increasingly intense pain in the abdomen.

Shen Qingci's body became unsteady, and he fell limply on the ground, sweating profusely and said: "After returning to mother, my daughter-in-law really didn't hear anything."

"The prince doesn't seem to be so... satisfied with his daughter-in-law, so how could he let his daughter-in-law listen to their conversation..."

While speaking, Shen Qingci hugged his stomach subconsciously, and almost curled up into a ball.

I don't know how much the queen believed, she raised her hand, and the maid at the side quickly stepped forward and leaned over to help her up.

She walked out without even looking at Shen Qingci.

The palace people in the palace also retreated with the Queen's departure.

But Nanny Gao stayed.

She bent down, squatted beside Shen Qingci, and said in a low voice: "Princess Ning, listen to the persuasion from the servant, since the empress can choose you, of course she can also abolish you."

"Who should you be facing, you should know in your heart."

Shen Qingci lowered his head, angrily said: "Nurse Gao, but I really didn't hear anything... You also saw the prince's attitude towards me..."

Nanny Gao knew it, but the queen's purpose today was not to force her to tell the truth.

"This poison will attack every [-]th day of the Lunar New Year. It lasts for half a year. Each time you will suffer more pain than the last time. If you can take the antidote in time every time, you will be fine after half a year. .”

Speaking of this, Gao Nai paused: "But if the princess is on the edge of her horn... After any poisoning, if you don't take the antidote in time, if it takes more than three hours... there is no cure for the medicine."

Shen Qingci wanted to scold her after hearing this.

But on the face, she looked at Nanny Gao with a look of sincerity and fear.

Nanny Gao raised her hand to pin a strand of her hair behind her ear, her voice was soft, but it didn't sound human at all.

"This is the antidote to pine needle poison."

Saying that, Gao Nai took out a small vermilion pill from her sleeve.

"If you are sensible and obedient, the empress will naturally not want you to suffer, and the follow-up antidote will be given to you in time."

Shen Qingci subconsciously took it and was about to eat it.

Nanny Gao looked at her reaction with satisfaction, and turned around before Shen Qingci swallowed the pill.

And when she turned around, Shen Qingci hid the antidote into her waistband.

Although the pain in her abdomen was still severe, she also wanted to see if her body could handle it.

Taking a step back, even if she couldn't bear it, three hours would be enough for her to go back to Prince Ning's mansion and send someone to find Lu Kui.

Lu Kui is an expert in detoxification and poison production.

With this pill, do you still worry that Lu Kui won't be able to prepare the antidote?
Rather than putting his life on the queen's side, Shen Qingci chose to stand by Sheng Tingye's side without hesitation.

Although I don't know why the queen wanted to kill her in the first place, why she changed her mind and wanted her to marry.

But the current queen made it clear that she was targeting her, and wanted her to be a pawn she placed beside Sheng Tingye.

The relationship between the mother and son of the Tian Family was an eye-opener for Shen Qingci.

She just sat on the ground for about a quarter of an hour, and no one came to ask her or urge her.

Because she was originally "weak in body and bones", she didn't have the strength to stand up for a long time, but she didn't attract the attention of Gao Nunnies and others who were guarding outside.

This quarter of an hour passed, and as Shen Qingci expected, the pain in his abdomen gradually faded away.

And her mind had already started to feel dizzy, and the state of "drunkness" appeared again.

Afraid that someone would accidentally make a fool of himself and expose his little secret, Shen Qingci braced himself up, stumbled to the door, then said nothing, just tilted his head in front of Gao Nanny, and directly "sickened to death" "Passed.

Nanny Gao who knew the inside story quickly reported it to the queen.

Because Shen Qingci was poisoned, they were also afraid that the imperial doctor would find out something strange, and they were even more afraid that Shen Qingci's weak body would not be able to hold on and die in the palace.

Therefore, it is only said that Princess Ning passed out due to lack of strength, and she was sent back to Prince Ning's mansion immediately.

The news that Shen Qingci entered the palace the first day and was carried out was quickly spread.

She hasn't returned yet, and everyone in Prince Ning's mansion already knows about her.

Coming back with her was Nanny Gui who was pointed out by the queen.

He said it was to support her and take care of her daily life in Prince Ning's Mansion, but in fact he just planted a nail by her side to monitor her every move.

Shen Qingci was sent back to the wedding room, and while Nanny Gui was taken down by Jiang He to put away her things, although she was still a little dizzy, she still had to stand up and call Chunya.

With Sheng Tingye's cold personality, he may not care about her life or death.

Even if her body could bear it, for the sake of caution, she had to have someone send the antidote to Lu Kui through Huaishu Lane first, so as to be sure that nothing would go wrong.

Shen Qingci's palm was only half supported, and before he could speak, the door was pushed open at this moment.

Sheng Tingye, dressed in a black brocade robe, came in from the outside.

As he opened the door, the wind and snow swept into the room in an instant, Shen Qingci shivered from the cold, and quickly curled up under the quilt.

Compared with yesterday, his complexion was a little better, but the coldness between his brows was even worse than before.

"My lord."

People are under the roof.

Shen Qingci quickly adapted to his identity, with a sweet smile on his face: "You look good."

This is looking for something to say.

But she was so dizzy right now that she really couldn't think of a better way to say it.

The original intention was to break the cold barrier between the two who did not know why there was a sudden increase.

But who would have thought that just as he finished speaking, Sheng Tingye's mouth was slightly raised, revealing a faint sneer: "You don't look very well."

While speaking, he had already walked to the bedside.

He was only a short distance away from Shen Qingci, but he stopped walking, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Why, your deadline has finally come?"

Shen Qingci: "..."

Still talking about her "return to the light".

This is a man who will repay every detail!
Shen Qingci gritted his teeth angrily.

But after all, there was no eyeliner by his side, and Shen Qingci couldn't take care of getting angry with him when Nanny Gui didn't come back.

She has to hurry up and talk about business.

"My lord."

"I know you don't want to marry me."

"But you see, even if you don't marry me, you still have to marry someone else. Compared with others, I am more reliable. Not only will I keep your secrets for you, but I will also agree with you."

"In the future, if you are attracted to any girl and want to marry her, we will divorce. I promise to move her place immediately without saying a word!"

Shen Qingci felt that there would never be a more sensible concubine than her.

But for some reason, Sheng Tingye was not only not happy when he heard this, but also became a little bit colder.

Shen Qingci was thinking about what went wrong when he saw him throw a small porcelain bottle towards her.

Shen Qingci subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, opened it and saw that it was a bottle of vermilion pills.

Although she didn't understand medical skills or pharmacology, she still had a keen sense of smell. The smell of this little pill was somewhat similar to the antidote for cedar poison she was hiding in her girdle at the moment.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingci was quick-witted, and didn't care about the cold anymore, and turned over and sat up in a daze.

Sheng Tingye was standing beside him like a saw-mouthed gourd.

Shen Qingci gave up the idea of ​​asking him, and directly poured out one pill from the small porcelain bottle, then took the one hidden in his waist, and compared them together.

Finally, she did not forget to count the number of small pills in the small porcelain bottle, exactly eleven.

The mother and son are really interesting too.

The former poisoned her, and the latter gave her the antidote.

Shen Qingci subconsciously clenched the small porcelain bottle, and half-jokingly said: "Isn't the prince afraid that I will really take refuge with the queen?"

As soon as the words fell, Sheng Tingye sneered.

He raised his chin slightly and said arrogantly, "I thought you wouldn't be that stupid."

Although it was considered affirmative, Shen Qingci did not sound like a good word.

Seeing Sheng Tingye turn around to leave, Shen Qingci hastily asked, "Is Ah Zheng okay?"

Compared to asking around in circles, it is obviously more straightforward to ask Sheng Tingye directly.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Sheng Tingye paused, suddenly turned his head, and looked at Shen Qingci with a cold face.

Although his whole body was cold when he entered the door, Shen Qingci could clearly feel that since she asked about Lin Yunzheng, this man had almost written "I'm very upset" on his face.

Sure enough, the reason he suddenly turned against her last night was because of Lin Yunzheng.

Shen Qingci was puzzled and said: "Do you have a grudge against him? Or did he offend you?"

In the royal family, there may not even be true feelings between mother and child, so Shen Qingci took it for granted that there might be some quarrel between Sheng Tingye and Lin Yunzheng, it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

But she has known Lin Yunzheng for so many years, and she heard him mention this third cousin quite a few times from Lin Yunzheng, but every time Lin Yunzheng spoke with reverence and admiration.

Ordinarily, there shouldn't be any conflicts between them.

Except last night, I came here to stand up for her.

Could it be because Lin Yunzheng's reckless behavior made him lose face last night?Displeased him?

Seeing that Sheng Tingye didn't speak, Shen Qingci knew his abilities and means, so he was afraid that he would settle accounts with Lin Yunzheng.

So, she hurriedly explained for Lin Yunzheng with a smile: "There may have been a little misunderstanding in the middle, he has such a temper, he is always so impulsive and reckless, but he has no malicious intentions, my lord. There are a lot of them, so you shouldn’t care about him, right?”

Sheng Tingye had a faint smile on his face.

He stepped forward a little closer, stood by Shen Qingci's bed, looked down at Shen Qingci, and said with a smile, "You know him very well?"

This smile reminded Shen Qingci of the empress' sneer she saw in Fengyi Palace this morning.

Shen Qingci couldn't help shivering, although his mind was muddled, he still subconsciously shrank back into the bed.

Although I don't know why he suddenly changed his face, Shen Qingci's survival instinct made Shen Qingci smile: "It's okay, because of Jiang Yuwan's relationship, he took good care of me. When I was struggling in the Shen family , he also helped me a lot.”

This can be regarded as explaining to him why Lin Yunzheng helped her out last night.

But this person didn't seem to intend to let her go.

He got closer and closer, and the sense of oppression made Shen Qingci's goose bumps all over his body.

If he didn't know that he "can't do it", Shen Qingci would have thought that he was coming...

But even if he had the bottom line in his heart, Shen Qingci couldn't control his nervousness when he saw that he was silent, with an unfathomable smile on his face, and that handsome face that was getting closer and closer.

Seeing him leaning down and raising his hand towards him, Shen Qingci raised his heart in his throat, wishing he could immediately shrink back to the foot of the bed.

But before she could move her body, Sheng Tingye's slender jade fingers brushed against her shoulders and landed under the pillow behind her.

Shen Qingci subconsciously followed his fingertips, and when she turned her head, she saw a corner of a book protruding from under her pillow.

"what is this?"

The quilts on this Xi's bed were all brought over from her mother's house and spread on the bed. If she remembered correctly, the booklet was brought over by Mrs. Zhou in these quilts.

At that time, Zhou's attention was diverted, and she hadn't had time to see what was inside.

While Shen Qingci was in doubt, Sheng Tingye's finger hooked, and he had already hooked the booklet in his hand.

Seeing him flicking his fingertips and opening the booklet, Shen Qingci, who was full of doubts, leaned over.

This is incredible.
