C73 Poisoning for No Reason

Meng Zixian reached out her hand, picked up an orange, peeled it off, and stuffed it into her mouth. A sweet taste spread through her mouth.

"Wow, this is pretty good." Meng Zixian really liked the taste, so she ate two more.

Ling'er hurriedly tried to stop him, "Little Lord, don't eat too much. It might cause you stomach upset."

Seeing Ling'er take the fruit away, Meng Zixun felt unresigned. He wanted to rush forward to grab it, but he stumbled and fell forward.

Ling'er hurriedly caught it. How could she withstand this kind of force? She was immediately thrown to the ground. The two of them collapsed onto the ground, with Tangerine scattering all over the ground.

One of them was squashed flat by Ling'er, the juice blooming like fireworks.

Meng Zijing stood up and stretched out his hand to pull Ling'er up. The orange had been crushed into a large cake made of makeup. The two of them looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Haha."

The two of them laughed. Ling'er did not have the time to tidy up her clothes. She quickly took out a broom and swept the items up.

Meng Zixian bent down to pick up the unbroken orange. Then, she peeled it and began to eat.

"Young master." Ling'er swept the floor with her gaze, helplessly looking at her.

"It's rare for someone to bring fruit." Meng Zixian smiled at Ling'er as she ate.

At this time, he ate happily, and the result was a stomachache at night.

He woke up in the middle of the night from the pain and quickly got out of bed. As a result, he fell to the ground with an unbearable pain in his abdomen. It was not an ordinary stomachache.

"Ling'er!" Meng Zixian did her best to call out to Ling'er, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Little Lord, what's wrong!" When Ling'er heard the commotion, she rushed in and saw Meng Zian curled up on the ground, motionless.

Meng Zi was in so much pain that she fainted. Ling'er was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat. She gritted her teeth and ran out.

She ran to the Silent Tide Palace. It was already late into the night. Her knocking on the door alarmed the people inside. A maid came out, her face filled with impatience.

"What are you doing so late?"

Ling'er hastened to say, "This servant requests to see esteemed wangfei, and I ask that this elder sister please make an exception!"

"Did you just say you were going to see her!?" It's still so late. The Empress's health hasn't been good these few days, and you still came to disturb me so late! " The servant girl's face was filled with disgust and impatience as she prepared to close the door.

"How dare you, magpie! How dare you call the shots without authorization!" A stern voice sounded out from behind the magpie. The magpie was so shocked that his body trembled. He turned around, and his legs went limp as he kneeled down.

When Ling'er saw Concubine Jing, she wailed and threw herself at her. "Concubine Jing, for some reason, my young master is sick. He's already passed out!"

"Go get the imperial physician. Remember to bring my medallion. Pearl, you follow Ling'er to see the situation. Hibiscus, help me change my clothes."

"Magpie, you stay in the palace for me. Listen carefully." Jingfei coldly looked at the kneeling magpie as she spoke.

After giving out the instructions, each of them went back to their own business.

The imperial physician had already rushed over to Meng Zixian's Tsui Ning palace, followed by Jing Fei. After the imperial physician checked her pulse, he saw Jing Fei bowing and stopped her. "There's no need to be overly courteous. What exactly is going on?"

The imperial physician said, "I'm afraid he's been poisoned. I've already told this young master to take in some medicine so he can take a breather for now."

"Poison? "How could that be?" Jing Fei exclaimed.

"I wonder, what did this young master eat?"

Ling'er hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young mistress didn't eat anything tonight. She only ate the oranges that you sent over, Concubine Jing."

Quiet And Steadfast's face turned ugly. Pearl who was beside him immediately scolded, "My Empress also ate oranges today. How come only your young master was poisoned? Don't spout nonsense!"

"Don't be impulsive."

He turned to the imperial physician. "Can this poison be cured?"

The imperial physician hastened to say, "Although this poison is difficult to resolve, I don't know what's inside this small body that actually resisted the poison. I'll take a few more doses of medicine later to remove the poison from my body."

"Then I'll be troubling Imperial Physician Liu."

"But I ask Imperial Physician Liu to keep this a secret."

Imperial Physician Liu looked deeply at Jingfei before nodding his head.

Jingfei instructed Ling'er, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. I'll leave the pearl here to wait upon you and inform me immediately if there's anything."

Ling'er nodded.

Quiet And Steadfast led everyone back to the palace. "Bring the magpie over."

"Also, bring me Huai Zhaoyi!"

Hibiscus stood there without moving. Jingfei glared at her, "What, am I calling you guys immobile now?!"

Furong's body trembled as she hurriedly kneeled down. "Empress, it's already so late. Your servant is just afraid …"

"What are you afraid of? Call me over!"

"Yes."

After that, the magpie was forced inside. Jingfei looked at him coldly, then suddenly stood up and slapped him. "Just who are you to begin with!"

"I've been running the harem for so long, and you're all people that I've slowly infiltrated. You know Meng Zixian is related to me, so you're usually very polite. How can you be so reckless today!"

Magpie was struck senseless. She covered one side of her face and sobbed, "Your servant …"

Quiet And Steadfast took a deep breath, "Did Huai Zhaoyi ask you to do it?"

The magpie was shocked, and Jing Fei knew immediately, "You're one of my people!" You actually dare to listen to someone else's advice? What, is this my temple, it can't tolerate a buddha like you! "

Magpie was so scared that he started to tremble, crying as he kowtowed, "Empress, this servant's little brother is very ill and needs money. This servant, this servant, all of my savings have already been paid. Huai Zhaoyi, just told me to say a few words tonight. This servant originally thought there was nothing wrong."

"This servant, this servant did not do it on purpose!"

"How much is it?" Jingfei calmed down and asked.

"Ten gold." The magpie choked with sobs.

Quiet And Steadfast gestured to the palace maid, Xue Bi, with a meaningful glance, "Go, prepare the ten gold."

The magpie began to cry miserably. He was in an extremely sorry state. Someone had woken up noble Huai with a bit of sleepiness and impatience, but since it was Concubine Jing calling him, she had no choice but to hurry over.

"All of you, go down." Quiet And Steadfast dismissed the others, leaving her and Duke Huai alone.

Quiet And Steadfast said: "Huai Qingge, have you gone mad!"

"What is the Empress talking about? Little Sister doesn't understand." Huai Qingge's face was confused and innocent.

Jing Fei did not believe this and went forward to grab Huai Qingge's wrist, "Who gave you the guts to let you touch Meng Zixian?"

Huai Qingge lifted her eyelids, looked at Jingfei, "Elder sister, there is no evidence, so don't speak nonsense."

"You should still borrow my hand!" Quiet And Steadfast's chest rose and fell in anger.

"I'm warning you, if you act on your own in the future, don't blame me for not protecting you."

"If you want to make a move, then don't do it at my place. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Huai Qingge laughed softly and pulled away Jingfei's hand, pretending to be innocent. "Elder sister, what are you saying? I really don't know."
