Secret agent crossing: Overbearing prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 43

Ling Qiu looked puzzled, she glanced at Mo Qingli, and said: "The servant obeyed the orders of the young master Mo, and came to report after taking the medicinal materials!"

Mo Qingli sneered, she lowered her eyes to look at Ling Qiu who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "I didn't let you make noise while I was serving the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager's face was gloomy, and the nuns beside her were also very good at observing words and expressions, and immediately pulled Ling Qiu up and slapped her, saying: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, you must..."

"Forget it." The Empress Dowager suddenly interrupted Mammy, she rubbed the center of her brows, turned her eyes away from Ling Qiu, and said: "The Ai family is ill today, so I will save her life with some virtue."

The panic on Ling Qiu's face finally calmed down. Just as she was about to kowtow to thank her, she suddenly heard the Empress Dowager say in a low voice: "Drag her out and give her [-] slaps on the mouth. Those who don't slap her will not be counted." .”

Ling Qiu's face paled in an instant, she stared at Mo Qingli who looked indifferent with hatred, gritted her teeth as if she wanted to say something, but was quickly blocked by the nanny and dragged her down.

Mo Qingli could vaguely hear her crying outside the hall, she sneered in her heart, just now she bought a little eunuch to tell Ling Qiu that the emperor is here to visit the queen mother, so Ling Qiu broke in without knowing what to do .

The only complaint is that she is too greedy, and Mo Qingli just pushed her.

The Empress Dowager lay back on the beauty couch again, she moved her body, a smile appeared on her face, and said: "This method is somewhat useful, the Ai family feels much lighter."

Mo Qingli bowed her head respectfully, and said, "It's good that the Empress Dowager finds it useful, but this disease needs a radical cure and long-term massage."

"Massage?" The queen mother raised her eyes to look at Mo Qingli, and asked in confusion.

"This is the name given by the servant's family for this method." Mo Qingli changed the subject and said, "However, if you want to treat the queen mother's cough, you need to use medicine to cooperate. The queen mother still has the residual poison from the last time. Clear, you have to drink Chinese medicine for a few days to clean up the remaining poison."

The queen mother had a little more trust in Mo Qingli, she waved her hand and said: "You just boil the medicine, if you need anything, just ask the Ai family, and the Ai family will definitely satisfy you."

Mo Qingli bowed and said loudly, "Thank you, Empress Dowager."

The queen mother was full of smiles, crow's feet were all over the place, she looked at Mo Qingli cheerfully, suddenly stood up, and said: "The Ai family is also a little tired, let's go to rest for a while while the sleepiness is still there. "

Mo Qingli naturally bid farewell to the queen mother, and when she returned to the house, she met Ling Qiu who had finished her execution. Her cheeks were already red and swollen, and her lips were even a little bloodshot. Seeing Mo Qingli's eyes seemed to be Mo Qingli ate normally.

Mo Qingli took out a small porcelain bottle from her package, handed it to her and said, "This is a medicine for reducing swelling, you should get better soon after you rub it on."

Ling Qiu slapped the medicine in Mo Qingli's hand to the ground, the small porcelain bottle bounced on the ground, but fortunately it was not broken, Ling Qiu's eyes were full of resentment, she looked at Mo Qingli, gritted her teeth and said: " Don't cry like a mouse here! Who knows what's in your medicine, it might disfigure me!"

Mo Qingli picked up the porcelain bottle, turned around without saying a word, and was about to walk out.

But Ling Qiu shouted unrelentingly: "You must be jealous that I am a little more beautiful than you! That's why you want me to disfigure!"

Mo Qingli's first reaction was to think it was ridiculous, and suddenly remembered that her face after wearing the human skin mask was indeed somewhat inferior to Ling Qiu's. She turned her head, smiled a bit, and said: "If I want to disfigure you, there are many ways to hide it without anyone noticing, why use this one?"

Ling Qiu shrank back, inexplicably feeling that Mo Qingli in front of her was a bit like a ghost seeking her life, before she could react, Mo Qingli walked out, she looked at the doorway where there was no one there, Gritting his teeth, strong hatred burst out of his eyes.

In the following days, Mo Qingli seriously massaged and acupunctured for the Queen Mother, Ling Qiu didn't dare to be presumptuous for the time being, the medicinal materials he brought were all good, so Mo Qingli began to boil the medicine.

The procedure of boiling the medicine was only handled by Mo Qingli, and the queen mother drank it for a few days, and she really got better gradually.

After getting along for many days, the queen mother had already believed in Mo Qingli, and instead of asking the nuns around her to try the medicine, she started drinking it straight away.

The nurse just fed two mouthfuls, the Queen Mother suddenly trembled for a moment, her whole body convulsed occasionally, her eyes rolled white, and an unknown moan came out of her throat.

Seeing that something was wrong, Mo Qingli quickly stopped the nanny's movements, rushed up to look at the pupils of the queen mother, smelled the dark Chinese medicine, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and bring the emetic medicine, there is something wrong with the medicine. !"

The nanny's face was terrified, and she ran out in a panic, stumbling, and suddenly a sharp eunuch's announcement came from the gate of the hall: "The emperor is here——"

As if she had found her heart, the nanny suddenly knelt on the ground and sobbed, "Your majesty, the empress dowager...she..."

Jun Yuqing's face changed drastically, he frowned, and shouted: "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?"

The nanny could no longer speak a complete sentence, Jun Yuqing kicked her and shouted: "Useless things!"

After speaking, he quickly walked towards the hall.

Mo Qingli made the empress dowager induce vomiting, but fortunately he only drank a couple of sips, the toxin didn't go deep into it, but the empress dowager made a lot of trouble.

Jun Yuqing ordered people to send the Queen Mother down to rest, then looked around the hall with a cold face, and shouted in a deep voice: "What happened?"

Ling Qiu, who was following Mo Qingli in an orderly manner, took a step ahead, saluted and said, "Go back to the emperor, after the empress dowager drank that cup of medicine, she started to go into convulsions..."

Her cheeks that were bruised a few days ago have already returned to smoothness, and her voice is melodious, but it's a pity that Jun Yuqing is not in the mood to appreciate it at this time. He looked at Ling Qiu with deep eyes and asked, "Where does the medicine come from?"

Ling Qiu glanced at Mo Qingli cautiously, as if he was a little scared.Jun Yuqing's face became even more serious, he shouted angrily: "I'm here, is there anything I dare not say?!"

Only then did Ling Qiu seem to have made up his mind, and hesitantly replied: "The medicine is... It was handled by Mo Xiaozhu alone, and I and other court ladies and eunuchs have never touched it."

Jun Yuqing's eyes were full of anger, he laughed back in anger, and yelled at Mo Qingli, "You are quite courageous!"

Mo Qingli's expression was indifferent, and she even had a bit of sarcasm. She glanced at Ling Qiu with pity, and Ling Qiu suddenly felt a little flustered. She didn't dare to look into Mo Qingli's eyes. She lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, Xiaozhu Mo's decoction has never been done by someone else. The entire Compassion Ning Palace knows it, and the Emperor can investigate it himself."

Jun Yuqing became increasingly angry, he patted the table vigorously, the loud noise made by the table made everyone present panic, and they shrank their heads and dared not speak.

"I asked you to treat the Queen Mother, not to poison the Queen Mother, Li Li, is what she said true?"

Mo Qingli's expression was not flustered, a dark light flashed in her eyes, her red lips parted slightly, and she said two words: "It's true."

These two words were very clear in the quiet and silent lobby, everyone's hearts sank, Jun Yuqing was even more angry, the sneer on his lips was somewhat cruel, and he said: "Do you have anything else to say? "

Mo Qingli raised her chin, and said loudly: "Although this servant is responsible for decocting the medicine, she has never admitted that she was responsible for poisoning the Empress Dowager, but this servant already knows who is the real culprit. I implore the emperor to listen to this."

Jun Yuqing sneered, as if feeling ridiculous, he spread his hands and said, "This is your last chance to defend yourself."

"Only one part of the servant is from the servant." Mo Qingli squinted her eyes and said, "The dregs of the decoction have been hidden in the room of the servant these days. There are already several imperial doctors here. The servant implores Ask some imperial physicians to check it out."

Jun Yuqing pondered for a while with his eyes down, and finally winked at Xing'an, and Xing'an immediately went down and took the medicine residue, and handed it to the imperial physician.

The imperial physicians inspected for a while, and finally separated out a pile of medicinal residues, and said: "I report to the emperor, there is nothing wrong with the medicinal residues."

Mo Qingli's eyes were filled with certainty, her smile deepened, and she said: "Your Majesty, this servant will carefully check the medicinal materials when decocting the medicine. Picked out."

Saying that, Mo Qingli glanced at Ling Qiu, Ling Qiu's forehead was already covered with sweat, and his eyes moved back and forth restlessly.Mo Qingli raised the corners of her lips, and said: "The servant girl was called by the emperor to inquire about the Queen Mother's recent situation when she was about to deliver the medicine today, so she entrusted Mr. Xing'an to help the servant girl guard the medicinal materials."

Jun Yuqing's black eyes turned to Xing'an, he knew about this, Xing'an said calmly, "The servant is the concoction that took care of the little master Mo for a while, but there was a maid in the middle..."

As he said that, he searched the venue for a while, and finally fixed his eyes on Ling Qiu, he pointed to Ling Qiu and said: "This is the maid, she has been pestering the servant, and the servant is distracted."

"You spitting blood!" Ling Qiu panicked for a moment, and shouted out without regard to etiquette.

Jun Yuqing frowned, of course he believed the words of Xing'an who had been with him for many years, but if no evidence could be found at this moment, no one would be able to get rid of the suspicion.

"Your Majesty, this servant lives in the same room as Young Master Mo. Seeing Mr. Xing'an here alone, I just asked a few more questions out of curiosity! You are wronged!" Ling Qiu's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground with a very serious expression on her face. disturbed.

Jun Yuqing frowned, and shouted loudly: "What a shame to cry, if you didn't do it, I wouldn't wrong you!"

"Your Majesty." Mo Qingli smiled, and she glanced at Ling Qiu, then suddenly saluted, and said, "Ling Qiu also said just now that the servant and servant are under the same roof as her, and I saw her sneaking out in the middle of the night a few days ago." , the maidservant paid attention, and unexpectedly found this letter."
