Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 259 Purple wood smoked light, behind the glitz (2)
"What?" Shen exclaimed, obviously she didn't know about it at all.

Qiu Mingyue narrowed her eyes, "Someone poisoned you?"

Qiu Mingrui's eyes darkened, and he nodded.

"why did not you tell me?"

Qiu Mingrui looked up at Qiu Mingyue with a look of pity in his eyes.

"They are calculating about my sister every day, and I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Qiu Mingyue sighed, and patted his head pityingly.

"Mingrui, I'm sorry for you."

Shen Shi was trembling with anger, "Even if I make compromises like this, they still push forward like this, it's really unbearable."

Qiu Mingyue looked sideways, seeing Shen so excited for the first time, her eyes turned red with anger, showing that she was extremely angry.She didn't know what it was like in her heart.

"Auntie, don't be impulsive. The harm they inflicted on Mingrui today, I will make them repay a thousand times in the future."

Shen Shi pursed her lips tightly and looked at Qiu Mingrui with moisture in her eyes.

"Yue'er, Rui'er, I was the one who harmed you. If I had known earlier, I might as well have stayed in Yangzhou back then, and you wouldn't have had such a difficult life."

But in that case, you will be the one suffering.

Qiu Mingyue did not say this sentence.She comforted Shen Shi softly, "Auntie, some people see us as thorns in the flesh, even if we don't come back, they will find a way to deal with us." After thinking about it, she decided to tell Shen Shi her guess.

"Auntie, do you still remember what happened when you were seriously ill a year ago?"

Shen's eyes were puzzled, "I remember, what's wrong?"

Qiu Mingyue looked out the window and said in a low voice, "I never told you, but in fact you are not sick, but poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Shen exhaled softly, covering her lips with her hands, her eyes trembling in horror.

Qiu Mingrui was also surprised, "Sister?"

Qiu Mingyue said in a deep voice: "At first I didn't want to speak out about this matter, because there is no evidence yet. But judging from what happened during this period of time, I guess it's probably the Da Furen who made troubles. Hmph, I didn't expect that, She is quite capable, and she can stretch her hands so long." Her phoenix eyes were slightly cold, and her voice was cold.

"Father has always wanted to take you back, but he couldn't because of the constant pressure from the old lady. And a year ago, the old lady passed away, and no one can check and balance dad. I guess, she must be afraid that dad will take you back Competing with her and threatening her status as the first wife. So I want to get rid of future troubles forever." Seeing that Chen Shi wanted to refute, she clenched Shen Shi's hand and looked at her fixedly.

"Auntie, listen to me. My suspicion is definitely well-founded. Although I don't know how she did it. But I can tell you that at that time you were poisoned very aggressively, and it was a chronic poison. Ordinary doctors can't persist at all. It is a kind of poison from the Western Regions. After taking it, there is no abnormality at first, but after a long time, it will make the body weak and depleted, just like a cold and fever. However, its toxin It will devour people's internal organs until death."

"That kind of poison is very rare. Its main ingredient is a flower called Zimu Xunqian from Rongyuan in the north. This kind of flower does not exist in Dazhao because its growth environment is suitable for the plateau valley. From root to leaf Then to the stamens and petals, all are deep and shallow purple. Zimuxunqian is a very peculiar flower, it only has six petals, and each petal has different shades of color. The fragrance is unusual, if there is sunlight, it will It emits a charming purple light. Zimu Xunqian is poisonous, but it is not poisonous."

"What's the reason?" Chen is just a boudoir woman, this is the first time she heard her daughter talk about so many medical medicines that she had never heard of before, she was terrified and at the same time curious, so she couldn't help asking.

"The petals of purple wood smoke can calm the nerves and hypnotize the mind, but if used improperly, it will make people fall asleep forever. And its stamens can be used to make tea, prolong life, beautify and nourish the skin. The flower diameter can be used as medicine, It can detoxify the world's strange poisons. The most special ones are the flowers and leaves, which can be used as medicine when ground, but they can also be poisons. But they must be mixed with other medicinal materials before they can be used."

"And..." She said here, pondered for a while, and said: "Zimu Xunqian is extremely rare, and it is almost hard to buy. Not to mention that there are very few people who know how to use this kind of flower, but they know that there are such plants in the world. There are not many people here. So I suspect that Da Furen thinks she is smart, but maybe she is someone else's pawn. But I don't know, who is it that will use Da Furen's hand to poison you?"

In fact, these questions had long been in her mind, but there were too many things during this time, and because she didn't want to add trouble to Chen Shi, she never said it out.But now that after several successive confrontations, the eldest lady has repeatedly suffered losses, and I am afraid that she will not let herself go.Shen Shi is too weak, I have to erect a solid wall in her heart.Otherwise, she could easily be tricked by the eldest lady.

And Mingrui, they attacked Mingrui several times in succession, and they no longer had any scruples.

Thinking about it, it was the Elder Master who was determined to bring up the fact that Mrs. Shen was his equal wife, which made the Elder Madam panic and desperate.

Shen Shi was even more frightened and panicked by Qiu Mingyue's words.

"This...who wants to kill me?"

Qiu Mingyue shook her head heavily, "I don't know either. Auntie, have you ever offended anyone? Or, did your grandfather and grandmother have any enemies? You know, that kind of poison is not something that can be found in the Central Plains. I don't understand. "Aren't the Shen family people from the Central Plains for generations? Why did they provoke the barbarians? Even though the lady hates you, she definitely didn't have such clever means. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come to the capital so smoothly in the first place." .These confrontations, she will not end in vain every time."

"I don't know." Shen shook her head in confusion and helplessness, "Father is an upright official, and mother is also gentle and kind. The Shen family has always been well received in Yangzhou. How could they be hated by others? Let alone barbarians."

Qiu Mingyue pondered, but did not speak.

Shen Shi grabbed her hand in a panic, "Mingyue, is what you said true? You mean, someone wants to plot against the Shen family? Da Furen, did she really let someone poison me?"

Qiu Mingyue held her hand instead and nodded.

"Nine times out of ten, she did it. And Auntie, let me tell you, not only that, I suspect that grandpa was imprisoned for no reason, and Da Furen is probably responsible for this."

"What?" Shen's shock was no small matter, her voice became louder unconsciously, and even startled Bai Feng Baimei who was about to walk in after bringing her lunch.

"Auntie, what's the matter? Is something wrong?"

The sound of Bai Feng Baimei's eager footsteps came, and Shen Shi immediately turned her head, trying to suppress the panic and anger in her heart.

"It's okay, put down your food and go out."
