National color medical concubine

Chapter 124 Set a trap
Qin Suo was unmoved, and looked at Xie Qiao at the side.She nodded invisibly, and Qin Mo instructed, "I'll go find you later, don't run around."

"Okay." Xie Qiao responded, flicked the hem of her skirt, stood up, and walked towards the backyard.

The house is not big. There are houses on all sides of the courtyard in the backyard, and flowers and trees are planted in the middle. Xie Qiao walked on the promenade and looked at the backyard.Pavilions, terraces and attics, rockery and waterside pavilions are reflected in the green pines and cypresses, dotted with strange stones and flowers.

Han Mei came out from the wing room, saw Xie Qiao standing on the railing of the corridor, went up to her and said, "Princess Jun, Princess Shu is lying in the wing room, and this servant will take you there."

Xie Qiao withdrew his gaze and followed Han Mei to the wing room.

In the room, the furnishings are elegant, Princess Shu is lying on the Babu bed with her clothes on, and the Xiangyue White Baidie Lake tent is hung, making Princess Shu's complexion pale.

Xie Qiao stood on the side of the bed, Princess Shu closed her eyes, breathed evenly, her brows were furrowed, as if she was enduring the pain on her forehead.

As if sensing that someone was looking at her, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the faint smile on the corner of Xie Qiao's mouth. She inspected her eyes, looked away, and said in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"

Both of them knew the dirty things they did secretly, so why bother to pretend to care?
"Princess Shu is not feeling well. At Miss Nalan's request, I will take your pulse." Xie Qiao squinted at Hanmei who was standing at the door, and sat down on the bedside Xiudun. Suddenly dignified, secretly observing her Princess Shu, her heart skipped a beat, and she stared nervously at Xie Qiao.

Her headache was just an excuse.

The King of Shu brought her to Nalan Mansion to apologize to Xie Qiao.

However, she clearly didn't want to let it go, even if she was forced to apologize by the king of Shu, she would only be humiliating herself in the end, so she might as well avoid it.

But Xie Qiao's expression made her feel uneasy, afraid that she was really sick.Who doesn't know that she is the descendant of Shennong Valley?

Xie Qiao withdrew his hand and said nothing.

"What's wrong with me?" Princess Shu couldn't help asking.

Xie Qiao asked: "Wangfei's hands and feet are cold?"

Concubine Shu's heart tightened, she propped herself up, and looked at Xie Qiao: "My hands and feet have been cold these past few years, and every summer, I have heart palpitations, can't eat, and can't sleep well."

Xie Qiao nodded, "Princess, let's rest." She got up and planned to leave.

Princess Shu said anxiously: "What is my illness?"

"After the concubine returns home, ask the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine for the pulse diagnosis." Xie Qiao was afraid of causing trouble, so he did not prescribe the medicine from himself to take the medicine for the concubine of Shu.

Princess Shu's complexion changed slightly, how could she not know why Xie Qiao was so cautious?

He sneered in his heart, and stopped pestering her for treatment.The tone was a bit bitter and said: "I really don't know how Suo'er would give up Yu'er to marry you. Apart from medical skills, there is nothing good."

Xie Qiao said with a smile: "Maybe, the county king just likes my worthless, princess, what do you think?"

Princess Shu said coldly: "Men love beauty, but he hasn't seen Yu'er for a long time. Although he married you, don't be too pretentious. With Yu'er's beauty, he will definitely win back his heart."

Xie Qiao couldn't help laughing, Qin Suan never liked Nalan Qingyu, how can he get it back?
"Generally, those who use sex to deal with others will lose their sex and love to relax. Princess, what do you think?" Xie Qiao said meaningfully.

Princess Shu pursed her lips, turned her back to Xie Qiao, and didn't want to say more.

Xie Qiao glanced at Princess Shu lightly, seeing that she didn't pay attention to her anymore, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, could it be that she was thinking too much?
Isn't today a Hongmen Banquet?
Xie Qiao suppressed the thoughts in his heart, walked out of the wing room, and stood on the bench beside the railing to wait for Qin Mo.

Unexpectedly, Princess Shu looked at Xie Qiao's leaving figure, her eyes fell on a pack of medicine powder on the ground, her eyes flickered slightly, she got out of bed, picked up the things, and put them in her sleeves.

Han Mei said to Xie Qiao: "Princess Princess, I will take you to find the Prince."

Xie Qiao stared down at Han Mei, only to see that she lowered her head, her attitude was respectful, and she nodded and said, "Lead the way."

Han Mei took Xie Qiao to the study.

-

Nalan Qingyu took Qin Mo to the study, but Qin Mo didn't go in, and stood outside the study waiting for her.

Nalan Qingyu stood at the door, looking at Qin Mo who was standing at the foot of the stone steps, his eyes dimmed slightly, was he avoiding suspicion?

Turning around, she went to the study room, took the burden that Nalan Shu told her to bring, and handed it to Qin Mo.

Qin Mo held it in his hand very lightly.

"Brother suddenly changed." Nalan Qingyu said suddenly when he turned to leave.

Qin Mo glanced at her. In his memory, she only reached his waist with braids. Like Qin Yu, she liked to follow behind him.General Nalan was kind to him and took care of her like Qin Yu, without any other thoughts.

After returning to Beijing, I was surprised to receive a letter from General Nalan discussing marriage.

He doesn't care about women, and one day he will marry a woman he doesn't know, and Nalan Qingyu is the same.

Nalan Qingyu is the most worried teacher, he will protect her from food and clothing.

However, all these were thoughts before meeting Xie Qiao.

But he didn't know that one day, there was a person who made him want to hold it in the palm of his hand, put it on the tip of his heart and love him.

Therefore, he rejected General Nalan's proposal, and he was glad that he did not agree to it at that time, and made a marriage agreement.

Goodbye now, she has reached the position of his shoulder, her immature face has grown, she is as bright and charming as a rose in a flowerpot.There was no wave in my heart, and I didn't feel the throbbing when I saw the inclined bridge.

"My mentor asked me to find a suitable marriage for you. I don't understand your women's minds. I will leave it to your sister-in-law. She will look after you for you. If you have someone you like, please tell her." Qin Mo's tone was indifferent and alienated, and she keep distance.

Nalan Qingyu clenched his palms tightly. He believed in Xie Qiao so much?Let Xie Qiao take care of her own marriage!

Immediately, with a wry smile, she liked him, did she tell Xie Qiao that she would let him?

But these, she can't tell him!

She saw how he took care of Xie Qiao today, and in her eyes, he feared no one but Xie Qiao in his heart.It is impossible to demote Xie Qiao to a concubine just to marry her. She is the general's daughter, let alone concubine.

"After my sister-in-law and sister-in-law met, my brother thought it was feasible, so I will marry." Nalan Qingyu showed a sweet smile, with an extremely trusting look.

"Yes." Qin Mo replied.

The smile on Nalan Qingyu's face was a little forced, and he bit his lips tightly.After a while, when he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly went around in front of him and blocked his way: "Brother Mo, let me ask you a question."

Qin Mo stopped and remained silent.

Nalan Qingyu plucked up his courage: "Brother Mo, would you marry me before you met her?"

Qin Mo said in a deep voice: "Yu'er, in my heart you are the same as Yu'er."

The blood on Nalan Qingyu's face was gone, and his face was pale.Xie Qiao really understood him, and he said the same thing.

Yuer?

Qin Yu is about to go to Daqing to get married.

But she knew that Qin Yu was actually dead, and the one Nangong Xiao brought out was a fake!

Qin Yu ended up tragically because of plotting against Xie Qiao.

So is he also implying to her that the consequences of provoking Xie Qiao are like Qin Yu's?
"I know." Nalan Qingyu didn't know that he had never met someone who was tempted, and when he reached the age of marriage, he would marry her at his father's request and respect him as a guest.And he married Xie Qiao only because the person he pretended to be in his heart happened to be her.

Even if she schemed against Qin Mo and Xie Qiao, he might not marry her.

"Wait." Nalan Qingyu took out the tassels she had made from his sleeve, and tied them to the jade pendant around Qin Mo's waist.

In the corridor, Xie Qiao looked at the two standing in the courtyard through the verdant green cypresses. From her perspective, she saw Nalan Qingyu throwing himself into his arms.

Han Mei looked sideways at Xie Qiao who had stopped, and followed her gaze, only to see her young lady crashing into the arms of the prince, at a loss what to do.

"Prince Princess..." Han Mei wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain.

"I'll wait for him in the front hall." After Xie Qiao said, he turned and went to the front hall.

After a while, Qin Mo came over with the burden.

Xie Qiao glanced quickly around him, and his gaze fell on the jade pendant around his waist, which was bare and bare.She got up and went to his side, patted his shoulder, a faint fragrance of agarwood poured into her nose, and a smile spread from the corner of her mouth to her eyes.

"How do you know I'm here?" Xie Qiao looked over his shoulder and landed on Nalan Qingyu behind him.

"The servant girl told the county king that you are waiting for him here." Han Mei replied staring at her toes.

Nalan Qingyu looked at the two of them intimacy, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of her mouth, she saw Xie Qiao and Han Mei coming, she did a little trick without giving up, but she still trusted Qin Mou so much.

She lost.

So, it's time for her to let go.

Xie Qiao naturally knew what Nalan Qingyu was thinking, indeed, her perspective was to see the two of them embracing each other.However, people's eyes can sometimes deceive people. It doesn't matter what you see, it must be true.

Nalan Qingyu has the fragrance of orchids, if Qin Mou really hugged her, his body would definitely be tinged with the fragrance of orchids.

"Is Princess Shu okay?" Nalan Qingyu asked about Princess Shu, who had already left.

"No problem." Xie Qiao replied.

"Let's go." Qin Mo handed the bundle to Xie Qiao, hugging her by the waist, but Xie Qiao dodged and slapped his hand away with a blushing face: "I'll go by myself."

Qin Mo didn't force her, hugged her waist and left together.

Nalan Qingyu looked at their backs holding each other like a pair of lovers. The mild sunlight shone on their hair, reflecting a white halo.

He tightly clutched the tassels in his sleeves, his finger bones turned white.

Nalan Qingyu stood quietly for a long time, before he came back to his senses, he said, "Han Mei, Brother Su, does he have anyone close to him?"

Han Mei thought for a while, and spit out a name: "Prince Rong's son, Yu Qinglan."

The corner of Nalan Qingyu's mouth curled into a slight smile, and his voice was low: "Prince Rong... is also a good match. I will report to Brother Mo, and he is the one." Then, he turned and went back to the study, intending to write a letter to Nalan Qingyu.

Han Mei was taken aback, she didn't expect the young lady to be so hasty about the marriage.

"Miss, you don't think about it? The master loves you the most. He only wants you to marry the person he loves. How can you marry anyone at will?" Han Mei didn't understand. Miss admired the county king. , will marry the young lady as his wife.

"Since it's not him, then it's the same to marry anyone." Nalan Qingyu smiled slightly. She did her duty as a wife, but she couldn't take back her heart to her future husband-in-law.In this world, there are too many blind marriages. She is too lucky, and her father never used her as a tool in exchange for benefits.Therefore, she can't let her father worry about her. "Prince Rong's son looks better than Pan An, and he is a friend, so his character will not be too bad."

"Miss..." Hanmei chased after worryingly, Nalan Qingyu had already closed the door of the study.Knowing that she had made up her mind, she stomped her feet and ran to the county palace helplessly.

Xie Qiao and Qin Mo had just returned to the Wuzi Building, when they heard a message from the door servant that Han Mei was begging to see him at the door.

"Ask her to come in." Xie Qiao frowned, and there was a question in his mind that he couldn't figure out.Could it be that Nalan Qingyu invited them to dinner just as a simple thank you?

Concubine Shu obviously didn't have a headache, but she returned to the wing room with an excuse.Is it just a coincidence that Nalan Qingyu invited her to treat her?

impossible!
Xie Qiao shook her head, she trusted her intuition.

Bai Zhi came in with a pot of hot tea, put it in the middle of the table, and poured a cup of hot tea for Xie Qiao.Immediately, he picked up another cup, scalded it with hot water, poured tea and handed it over: "Your Majesty, this is your favorite drink of Dragon Well Tea before Yu."

Hearing this, Xie Qiao raised his head to look at her, and drank his tea with his head down.

Han Mei came in, knelt on the ground and said: "Junwang, Junwangfei, Miss...she said she likes Prince Rong's son."

"Cough cough..." Xie Qiao choked a sip of hot tea into his intake pipe, coughing violently.

Qin Mo patted his back: "Be careful."

Xie Qiao looked at Han Mei: "Miss Nalan is going to marry Prince Rong's son?" she asked again for confirmation.

Sammy nodded.

Xie Qiao put down his teacup and remained silent.

A dark light flashed in Qin Mo's eyes, Yu Qinglan, this marriage might not be possible.

"He has left Beijing." Xie Qiao's tone was calm, but her heart was full of galloping horses. She had a good vision, and instead of being able to marry Qin Mou, she wanted to marry her senior brother.

It's just that no one can make him nod in his senior brother's marriage unless he himself nods.

"I don't know when I will return to Beijing. Things are difficult." Xie Qiao thought in his heart, even if Yu Qinglan was in the capital, anyone could go and propose marriage to him, but she couldn't.

Naturally, Qin Mo didn't have the face to force Yu Qinglan to marry Nalan Qingyu, and it was impossible to harm him.He understands what Nalan Qingyu is thinking, so he can't cheat him.

"Send Chu Mingyan's message to her." Qin Mo pondered for a moment before instructing Lan Xing.

Xie Qiao suddenly looked at Qin Mo: "He is Lan Yang's fiancé!"

Qin Mo's tone was cold: "No."

Xie Qiao stared at him blankly, unable to react for a while.

"It's not anymore." Qin Mo repeated patiently.

"How is it possible..." Xie Qiao didn't understand Lan Yang's thoughts. When they met that day, she looked extremely bad, but she didn't have any plans to withdraw from Chu Mingyan.

How come, in the blink of an eye, the marriage was divorced!

Qin Mo said in a deep voice: "Lan Yang retired from the marriage by himself, just a few days ago."

"She still has feelings for Chu Mingyan, maybe they..." Before Xie Qiao finished speaking, Qin Mo cut him off: "It's impossible."

Xie Qiao remained silent, knowing in his heart that if it was really possible, after so many years, there should be results.

But Chu Mingyan's attitude towards Lan Yang has not changed.

Feeling melancholy in my heart for a long time, I finally breathed out: "Alright." How easy is it to warm up a cold stone?
fair enough.

Xie Qiao leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Han Mei who was kneeling on the ground, and signaled Lan Xing to go to Chu Mingyan's portrait and materials, and asked her to take them back to Nalan Qingyu.

After Han Mei went back, she handed the things to Nalan Qingyu.

Nalan Qingyu was startled, "The son of the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

Han Mei nodded: "The prince personally chooses the person."

Nalan Qingyu opened the portrait, the man in the picture scroll was handsome and handsome, his fingers gently stroked his brows and eyes, and the shadow of Qin Mo could be vaguely seen from between his brows and eyes.

After opening the file, he was silent for a while when he saw that he was Xie Qiao's cousin.

"Miss..." Seeing that Nalan Qingyu was abnormal, Hanmei called out uneasily.

"Give him an answer in a few days." She had to think again.

Han Mei breathed a sigh of relief, the young lady was not dizzy.

-

The next day, when Xie Qiao woke up.The place around him was icy cold.

He hasn't come back yet.

"Come here." Xie Qiao called out.

Bai Zhi came in with hot water, staggered, half of the water in the basin splashed on Xie Qiao's dress hanging on the screen and the ground, her complexion turned slightly pale, and she hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, the princess, the servant didn't do it on purpose. of."

Xie Qiao rubbed his eyebrows, waved his hands and said, "It's okay."

Bai Zhi put down the copper basin, cleaned it up, and helped Xie Qiao change his clothes.

Xie Qiao saw that the waist tied around his waist was turned upside down, and said indifferently, "Bai Zhi, do you have something on your mind?"

A flash of panic flashed in Bai Zhi's eyes, she raised her head suddenly, and touched Xie Qiao's calm eyes, which were as deep as two ancient wells, and her heart trembled slightly.Explained: "My maidservant, I am sick, and the doctor said that I won't survive this winter. Maiden... Nuservant..." Tears rolled down as she spoke.

Xie Qiao took off the waist silk, tied it up by himself, and said casually, "Why don't you ask me to treat her illness?"

"I don't dare, because I'm afraid of dirtying your body. Life and death are a matter of fate. My wife has been ill for many years, and these years have been very painful. Maybe it will be a relief for her to go." Bai Zhi's teary eyes.

Xie Qiao glanced at her coldly and said nothing.

Bai Zhi knelt on the ground, watched Xie Qiao wash himself, and then went out to eat, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Wiping his back, his back felt cold, and a layer of cold sweat oozed out.

Holding the water basin, when he exited the room, Xie Qiao's cold voice came from behind him: "Baizhi, you and Banxia are the most trustworthy people besides Mingxiu. If you have any difficulties, just tell me."

Bai Zhi tightened her grip on the edge of the copper basin slightly, and nodded.Remembering that Xie Qiao couldn't see him, he replied, "Your servant knows."

Xie Qiao heard Bai Zhi's footsteps fading away, put a piece of crispy bamboo shoots into his mouth, and said indifferently, "Ban Xia."

Ban Xia, who was guarding the door, came in and saluted: "Princess Princess, do you have something to do with your slaves?"

"Bai Zhi's old lady is sick?" Xie Qiao was thoughtful, and Ban Xia and Bai Zhi were from the same place, so he definitely knew.

Ban Xia was taken aback, nodded and said: "Bai Zhi's father sold her because he treated her mother's illness. He has been ill for many years, but I heard that he won't be able to survive this winter."

Xie Qiao frowned, and sighed for a long time, "Give her a few days off and let her go back to visit her mother."

Ban Xia was startled, and said suspiciously: "Prince Princess, Bai Zhi will not go back."

Xie Qiao looked at her puzzled.

Ban Xia explained: "Bai Zhi is good at franchising. She sold it two years earlier than me. At that time, she had saved enough money to redeem herself. After returning home, her brother was going to marry a wife, and her family was poor. Her father said that Bai Zhi was capable of earning money. Sell ​​her again, and when she saves enough money to redeem herself, she can go back and marry someone. Bai Zhi knelt in front of her father all night, and her father didn't change his mind. She hated her already. Her brother broke his leg and came to ask her for money. , she didn't even go to see her."

Xie Qiao turned his eyes slightly, and asked, "How much money did she spend when she redeemed herself?"

"Twelve taels of silver."

"Did the family ask her for money during this period?" Xie Qiao was thoughtful. He could save ten taels in two years. They are big girls now, and there was one tael a month ago.At that time, Bai Zhi was only eleven or twelve years old, and she was only a little girl who went in and out of the mansion, five hundred yuan, if there was no expenses, plus rewards, ten taels would have to work hard.

"Yes, half of her month ago is for her mother to buy medicine." Ban Xia seemed to remember something and said: "Her master is very good. After redeeming her body, she gave her a few taels of silver as travel expenses."

"Oh?" Xie Qiao sat up straight, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who was her former employer?"

"She didn't say."

Xie Qiao nodded, signaling Ban Xia to go down. "Lately, keep an eye on her a little bit." Looking down, he stroked his long nails, his eyes filled with coldness. The former owner was so good, and Bai Zhi was about to be sold, why didn't he ask her father to sell her to the former owner?
Concentrating his thoughts, Mingxiu came in with the invitation. "Prince Princess, Mrs. Huaiyinhou invites you to visit the mansion."

Xie Qiao took the gold-foiled invitation with a faint floral fragrance, with a smile on her lips, she happened to be going to Huaiyin Hou's mansion, and the wife of Huaiyin Hou sent the invitation: "Go in time."

Mingxiu went to answer.

After a while, Mingxiu came in in a panic, and said with a pale face: "Princess Princess, it's not good, something happened to Miss Nalan!"

-

When Xie Qiao took the carriage to Nalan Mansion, Qin Mo had already arrived.

Nalan Qingyu didn't allow Qin Suo to enter, and the door was closed tightly.

Qin Mo's face was cold and gloomy, and when he saw Xie Qiao coming in a hurry, his face softened slightly.

"What's wrong with her?" Xie Qiao looked at the closed door and couldn't help frowning: "Didn't you invite a doctor?"

"No." Qin Mo signaled Lan Xing to open the door.

Lan Xing pried open the door with his sword.

Xie Qiao went in, and the moment he saw Nalan Qingyu, he gasped.

She was covered in rashes, and her face was cut and bleeding with her fingernails.Dressed in cool clothes, she sat on the beauty couch, staring straight at the bronze mirror.

"What's going on?" Xie Qiao went over to check on Nalan Qingyu's situation. She resisted fiercely and refused to be approached by anyone. With scarlet eyes, she pointed at the door and screamed, "Get out! Get out!"

Xie Qiao signaled Hanmei to trap Nalan Qingyu. She was afraid that she would be stimulated and unacceptable after seeing this appearance, and refused people to approach: "It's too late, I'm afraid there will be scars."

When Han Mei heard this, she immediately went up to grab Nalan Qingyu's waving hand.

Xie Qiao checked the pulse, took a gauze and stained it with a little blood, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, there was a foul smell.

poison.

The rash on her body was caused by poison. There were red herpes on the face, but the inside was rotting.Fortunately, the dose was light, otherwise her face would have been ruined!

"What did she eat?" Xie Qiao asked.

Han Mei shook her head: "Miss hasn't had a single drop of water since you left."

"Dining with us at noon, there must be no problem with diet." Shu Wangfei came in, and when she saw Nalan Qingyu, she took a few steps back in fright.Tremblingly said: "Who hates so much, this is going to destroy Yu'er!" She glanced sharply at the cabinet where her clothes were placed, and some fell on the bed, and said sharply: "Go and check the clothes and the bed, look at this A few places have been tampered with!"

Xie Qiao suddenly looked at Princess Shu with an unpredictable expression.

Concubine Shu showed a rare smile to Xie Qiao: "I heard that the princess of the county has excellent medical skills, and Yu'er's poison can't trouble you?"

"How does the princess know that Ms. Nalan has been poisoned?" Xie Qiao looked at Princess Shu in a puzzled manner, pinching the silver needle in his hand with a cold light, and the corner of his mouth smiled coldly.

Concubine Shu's heart froze, she came back to her senses in an instant, and said calmly: "You asked Yu'er what she ate just now, she must have been poisoned."

Xie Qiao sneered, but did not expose her.

At this time, someone lifted the mattress, a cloud of dust flew up, and a packet of medicinal powder fell out.

"Ah, eyes, my eyes!" The maid who lifted the mattress covered her eyes, squatting on the ground and screaming.

Princess Shu gritted her teeth and said: "This man is really vicious, if the feather gets into his eyes, wouldn't he be blind!"

Han Mei turned pale with fright, and said in a trembling voice, "Miss didn't offend anyone, who would harm her?"

Concubine Shu's eyes flicked over Xie Qiao's body, and said in a secret way: "That's not sure, Yu'er is kind-hearted and beautiful. Maybe it's this face that makes people hate."

Han Mei was stunned, and saw Princess Shu picking up the medicine bag on the ground, frowned and said: "Prince Jun is a genius doctor, she knows how to save people, and she must be proficient in ways to harm people." Looking at Qin Mo who came in, she sighed Said: "It's all my fault for talking too much, and I have caused trouble for Yu'er!"

Speaking of this, Han Mei came back to her senses in an instant, and looked at Xie Qiao in disbelief: "Prince Jun, Princess Shu is just talking, how can you be so vicious and ruin the face of the young lady? You To force her to death!"

"Ah! The paper bag of this medicine powder is exactly the same as the medicine bag dropped by the princess of the county yesterday!" The princess of Shu took out a bag of medicine powder from her sleeve, "The princess of the county dropped it on the ground yesterday, I picked it up, and I plan to return it today." She, who knew that something happened to Yu'er, I rushed over here, I never thought of..." After speaking, the voice suddenly changed, and asked: "Princess Princess, why did you want to harm Yu'er?"

Xie Qiao watched them sang together with cold eyes, and looked at the medicine powder she deliberately dropped yesterday in Princess Shu's hands, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

She deliberately played a trick, and they drilled in.
