Chapter 11 Sister-in-law, are you trying to seduce me?
Lu Qingyu tiptoed to the bed.

The Queen Mother's face was slightly red. Lu Qingyu reached out and touched it gently, and found that she was indeed suffering from a fever.

However, this made Lu Qingyu very excited, because fever meant that the body's functions were gradually recovering.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Fever is not necessarily a bad thing."

Lu Qingyu stretched out three fingers and gently placed them on the empress dowager's wrist.

He Junxuan sat on the other side of the bed and watched quietly.

It was midsummer and the sun was scorching.

The sunlight outside the window slanted into the house, reflecting on Lu Qingyu's cold and beautiful face, as if it was coated with a layer of light golden light.

The girl's eyes were slightly closed, with mottled light and shadow dancing under her thick eyelashes, and as she trembled gently, she looked a bit elf-like and delicate.

A rare look of confusion appeared in He Junxuan's glass-like phoenix eyes.

Lu Qingyu.
What kind of person are you?

Everything that has happened recently has left He Junxuan a little exhausted.

Last night he received the news that the Queen Mother was seriously ill, and he went to the palace overnight, but he still saw with his own eyes that the Queen Mother's health was getting worse and worse.

He Junxuan felt at that time that the last ray of light in his life had been extinguished.

But as soon as Lu Qingyu took action, the Empress Dowager's health miraculously improved.

But the fog surrounding Lu Qingyu became thicker and thicker.

This girl not only knew that he had a hidden illness, but also had medical skills that could bring people back to life.

And she also said she wanted to marry me.

Marry yourself...

why?
Just because he saved her life five years ago?
As soon as Lu Qingyu finished taking her pulse, she saw He Junxuan's deep eyes staring at her, slightly out of focus.

The moment they looked at each other, her heart felt as if it was being licked by a cat, and it felt numb and tingling.

She lowered her eyes and said, "Your Highness, did you get the medicine that I sent my maid to bring to you at noon today?"

He Junxuan withdrew his gaze, shook his head slightly, and asked back.

"Can you cure the Royal Grandmother's illness?"

Lu Qingyu pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes again and said, "For the follow-up treatment of the Royal Grandmother, I need my medical box and your medicine, and bring them along as well."

After a pause, Lu Qingyu continued, "Your Highness, can you send someone you trust to Prince Jing's mansion and ask Tianxing to bring the medical box and the medicine prepared for you to the palace? I feel uneasy if I let someone else go."

He Junxuan's eyes were as deep as a pool. "Do you trust me so much?"

Hearing this, Lu Qingyu gradually leaned forward until the distance between him and He Junxuan was only ten feet.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a cute dimple.

"Don't forget, Your Highness. I want to be your princess."

The tone was gentle, yet with a hint of intriguing charm.

The girl has eyebrows like distant ink, a nose like a hanging gall bladder, red lips, white teeth and charming eyes.

But there was a blush on that beautiful and cold face.

What a contrast.

"Sister-in-law, are you trying to seduce me?"

He Junxuan's voice was a little hoarse, as if it was tainted with lust.

But in those phoenix eyes, there was only loneliness and indifference like the icy abyss of a cold pond.

Lu Qingyu smiled sweetly and returned to a safe social distance.

She opened her red lips slightly, her voice clear as snow, "Your Highness, you are joking. My heart is sincere and pure as jade. How could I seduce someone?"

He Junxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a barely perceptible gleam flashed across his eyes.

It’s getting really interesting.

"Ye Huai."

The door was pushed open, and an expressionless man in black walked in and bowed.

"Master." "You heard what Princess Jing asked just now, didn't you?"

"I heard it."

He Junxuan waved his hand, then sat cross-legged on the ground as if no one was around, "Then you should go to Prince Jing's Mansion."

Ye Huai clasped his fists in salute and turned to leave.

He Junxuan gently waved the black gold fan, "I wonder if Princess Jing can tell me what disease the Royal Grandmother has?"

Lu Qingyu was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "It's poisoning, and it's a long-term chronic poison."

He Junxuan's expression remained unchanged, but there was a wave of turmoil in his heart.

This is exactly the same as the information he received.

There are a total of twelve imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Last night, the Empress Dowager was seriously ill and was on the verge of death. The imperial doctors took turns to diagnose her, and they all concluded that the Empress Dowager’s life was over and there was no way to save her.

But at the hour of Yin today, the only trump card he had hidden in the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Zhang, came secretly and told him that the Queen Mother was actually suffering from a long-term chronic poison, which was why her life was in danger, and it was too late now.

Before the consultation, a assassin sneaked into Doctor Zhang's house and threatened him that if he revealed the fact that the Empress Dowager was poisoned during the consultation, he would kill his entire family.

Now this news has confirmed Lu Qingyu's conclusion.

In other words, the entire Imperial Medical Bureau was probably threatened, which is why they kept silent about the Empress Dowager's poisoning.

He Junxuan looked at the empress dowager's pale face on the bed. There was a raging rage suppressed in her deep pupils, but the tone of his voice was calm and almost indifferent.

"Does Princess Jing have a way to cure this poison?"

Lu Qingyu hesitated for a moment, but decided to be conservative and said, "I am 80% sure, but if the person behind the scenes strikes again during this period, then I can't guarantee it."

He Junxuan looked a little stern; he was also worried about this issue.

The fact that Lu Qingyu resuscitated the Queen Mother cannot be kept secret for long.

And if the person behind the scenes has already decided to kill the Queen Mother, he will probably strike again.

The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.

For a moment, the inner hall fell into silence.

*
Zhongcui Palace.

He Juncheng sat in a soft chair with a gloomy look on his face.

"Cheng'er, have you got any results from yesterday's investigation into the adultery?" Concubine Chun spoke in a heavy tone and was not in a good mood.

He Juncheng shook his head slightly.

"The note that was pushed through the window and into the bridal chamber, and the note that was pushed to Yin'er, were both written by the same person, but the handwriting was like that of a toddler who was just learning to write. It was impossible to trace the handwriting at all."

He Juncheng pursed his lips, "Also, last night, I also had a sudden pain, and after arriving at Yilan Garden, I couldn't control myself."

Lu Yiner recalled the madness in He Juncheng's eyes when he pounced on her last night, and her eyelids trembled slightly.

She always felt that there was something fishy going on.

"Could someone have drugged my cousin?"

"Everything I ate last night was checked and there was no problem." He Juncheng frowned.

He also felt it was very strange. Yesterday's sexual desire came very suddenly and was very fierce. It was definitely abnormal, but he couldn't find out what it was.

After a long silence, a gleam of light flashed across Concubine Chun's eyes.

“If you can’t trace the origin of something, focus on the result.”

She raised her eyebrows and sneered, "The adultery incident affects your marriage with the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, so whoever can benefit from it will be suspected."

The marriage between the prince and the minister was nothing more than a fight for the throne.

Then the eldest prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the eighth prince all have motives.

He Juncheng fell into deep thought.

Although this analysis is reasonable, he always feels that there is something he has overlooked.

"By the way, Cheng'er, your mother is planning to let you marry the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion as your concubine."

He Juncheng raised his head suddenly and blurted out, "Mother, I can't marry you."
