Chapter 51

He lowered his eyes and looked at his legs. They have not healed for so many years, and the toxins have accumulated, and they have already been deformed. I don't know if they can recover.

He raised his eyes and looked out of the window, and the gorgeous flowers in the flowerbed were covered with a layer of golden red under the afterglow of the setting sun, but a look of pain and entanglement flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Ying Qinyue really wanted to ask him what happened?He had been sitting in front of the window for a whole day, and up to now he didn't even say a word, just immersed in his own thoughts.

She had never seen so many expressions on his face, smiling at once, excited at once, calm at once, resentful and resentful at once...

"Qiantong, come here, this is the ginseng soup I made, it's time to make up, you drink it quickly." Qing'er smiled, watched him finish drinking, then took back the bowl contentedly, and prepared to leave.

Qiantong called her, reluctantly said: "Qing'er, can't you talk to me a little longer?"

Qing'er looked back and smiled, scratched his nose lightly, and said: "The emperor said, you have to concentrate on studying and read more memorials before you can manage An Xun well. The general election will be in a few days, you have to be serious , don't let me down!"

"Oh." Qiantong replied sullenly, then buried her head in reading again.Looking at Qing'er's brisk leaving figure, he sighed in his heart, in fact, he didn't want to be emperor, and after becoming emperor, he would have no time to accompany Qing'er, just like his father, who was busy with state affairs and had no time to accompany his mother and concubine.He knew in his heart that the concubine mother was very lonely.

Qing'er has always been mysterious recently, with an inexplicable smile on her face, and she would be in a daze from time to time when talking to him, and she didn't know what she was doing.

It's just that recently she would bring delicious snacks on time every day, boil ginseng soup and send it to him, and then leave in a hurry.

Qiantong rubbed her temples, alas, I have read too many memorials recently, and I am always sleepy. I don't know how Zhan and the other princes read it.He didn't know that Emperor An Xun asked him to do this alone, aiming to train him to become the next emperor.He is diligent and studious, humble and generous, and is loved by all the ministers. Zhan is also a good seed, but it is a pity that he is too aggressive and not as generous as Qiantong.

He leaned limply on the table and fell asleep unconsciously.

Unexpectedly, this sleep lasted for several days, and everyone was extremely anxious.After waking up, his whole body was sore, but fortunately, he learned medical skills with the imperial physician in the palace, and he took the pulse by himself, and it didn't bother him.Both Zhan and Qing'er visited him several times during the period, and he only felt that Qing'er looked shy, thinking she was worried about him, and comforted him.

On the other hand, Zhan was on the sidelines, looking at them with a half-smile.Afraid of being embarrassed in front of Zhan, Qing'er ran out of the room as if fleeing.

"Hehe, Qing'er is so easy to be shy." He looked at her receding figure with a smile, not seeing the gloomy look in Huangfu Zhan's eyes at all.

"Qiantong, rest well, I'm leaving first." Huangfu Zhan greeted and left.

Qiantong murmured: "What's wrong with them two, when they come one by one, they usually ask questions and make people annoying, but today they left without saying a word."

Under the cherry trees deep in the palace garden, cherry blossoms fell all over the ground.

The woman who hired Ting under the tree looked at the handsome and bewildered man in front of her, and murmured: "Qian Tong's health has always been good, why did he suddenly become ill?"

"Qing'er, don't think so much. By the way, you haven't told him about the two of us?" The man put his hand on her shoulder, and she blushed.

Qing'er twisted the corner of her clothes, with a confused expression: "I... I can't say it, Zhan, give me a little more time."

She hesitated, if she told Qiantong, he would definitely not talk to her again, what should I do?However, it is an indisputable fact that she likes Shang Zhan. In order for the three of them to get into an even more embarrassing situation in the future, shouldn't they tell him earlier?

Under Zhan's repeated urging, she finally mustered up the courage to tell him about them.

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the bowl of medicine in Qiantong's hand fell to the ground and shattered. He asked in surprise, "What? You and Zhan—"

"Why, am I not good enough for you?" Seeing the sadness in Qiantong's eyes, Qing'er felt distressed for a while, but she didn't dare to say a word, for fear that she would be in a dilemma again.

Her face was full of guilt: "Qiantong, I'm sorry. But I really like Zhan, I don't want you to be sad, I don't want to lose you as a good friend, can you bless me?"

good friend!Qiantong sneered for a while, could they be good friends?

puff!In a hurry, Qiantong spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Qing'er screamed, and hurriedly followed the guards outside the room to carry her to bed, and called the imperial doctor for diagnosis.

The result of the diagnosis was shocking, Qiantong actually suffered from anemia, no wonder he always fell asleep so easily when he came in, and fainted when he got angry.He was bedridden because of his disturbed pulse.

With a guilty conscience, Qing'er has been taking care of her carefully.She once wanted to sever contact with Zhan, but Zhan kept obsessing her again and again, she couldn't bear to refuse, and fell into the trap again and couldn't extricate herself.

Because the fifth prince who was the most promising and favored by the emperor was sick in bed, he missed the throne.Among all the princes, Huangfu Zhan is the most intelligent, quick and resolute in his actions, and quite prestigious among the princes, so the throne is naturally his.

If it wasn't for waking up that day, he noticed that there was something wrong with his body, and after a careful diagnosis, he was shocked to find that there was actually a poison in his body!He didn't lie down because he was tired, something was a little strange.

Clever, he kept silent and investigated all suspicious places by himself.The poison in his body is a rare chronic poison, and the accumulated amount is quite a lot now. He knew that if he took it all at once, the toxicity would be too strong, and he would definitely die!Who has a feud with him and wants to harm him, and the person who poisoned him must be someone close to him, otherwise how can he poison him for a long time and avoid the eyes and ears of everyone?
He carefully checked the three meals a day, and there was no problem. Then he looked at the medicines he took every day, and there was nothing special. What is the problem?He was thinking about it, and suddenly, an idea popped up: Recently, Qing'er has to go to the Imperial Study Room to deliver ginseng soup to him every day, could it be——

No, it's impossible, even if she doesn't like herself, she is determined not to harm herself!He broke out in a cold sweat at the thought.

Finally, one day Qing'er came to visit him again with snack soup, and he kept a copy, studied it carefully, and found out the ingredients of the slow poison from it.This poison is very strange, when it is in the ginseng soup, it cannot be detected to be poisonous, but as long as it touches the body fluid in the mouth, it will immediately produce rare poison.

Since he has read extensively on weekdays, he has never seen this kind of poison, and Qing'er does not go out of the palace on weekdays, how could there be such poison?He faintly came to a conclusion in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it, but there was no doubt that Qing'er had injected the poison.

He was shocked, then angry, and struggled out of the room, wanting to ask Qing'er for clarification.

At the corner of the corridor, I caught a glimpse of two figures inadvertently. Looking from a distance, I saw Qinger and Zhan standing under the colorful fallen leaves tree?
