C192 100-year-old ginseng

However, it must be said that passing out due to Shen Qingwan's allergy had indeed delayed the progress of the investigation on the Wu Shang Shu. However, Liu Chugrong was shaking in anger in the room.

If it wasn't for this damnable slut, it wouldn't have destroyed the image she had in the Emperor's heart! As he thought of this, he began to use more and more strength to throw things. He couldn't grasp it properly in an instant, and fragments flew out. There were even a few that stabbed into his skin, causing him to feel a burst of pain.

"AHH!" With a cry of alarm, tears began to fall from his eyes, "Quick!" Someone come quickly! "Rumei!"

La Mei, who had been standing guard outside the whole time, hurriedly came in upon hearing her alarmed cry. She supported a table on the side and asked, "Imperial Concubine, what's wrong?" Unable to care about anything else, he hurriedly helped her sit on the bed.

"Leg …" Liu Chujun grimaced in pain, feeling it difficult to even speak.

Lamei quickly ran out to call the imperial physician. When he came back, Liu Xiaorong was already sweating profusely from the pain and his face looked pale.

"Imperial Concubine, please endure for a moment." When the imperial physician saw the wounds on her body, he didn't seem nervous at all. He'd long since gotten accustomed to minor injuries like this, so he didn't feel worried at all. However, she was still the Empress, so her delicate body was definitely too precious to bear such hardships.

At this time, Shen Qingwan was also in the heat, her whole body was boiling as she lay on the bed, and she still hadn't woken up. Lian Yun was also extremely anxious, but luckily the imperial physician said that she was alright, that she could recover after a while, and that was how she managed to stabilize her mind.

"Sigh, it's all the fault of that Imperial Consort Liu. If it wasn't for her, the Empress wouldn't be lying here like this." Xiao Man grumbled in dissatisfaction, "What if something happens to the Empress?" Shen Qingwan usually treated them very well. Now that she was like this, they, as servants, were also very worried.

"Forget it, Xiao Man, let's not talk about it anymore. If others hear about this and cause more trouble, then the Empress will be even more worried." Lian Yun pulled Xiao Man back. She remembered that it was precisely because of her that she went through such troubles.

After changing a handkerchief for Shen Qingwan, she suddenly saw her eyelashes flutter slightly.

"Empress?" Lian Yun tried to call out gently, and as expected, she received a reply.

"Mm …" With a groan, Shen Qingwan felt that her head was in chaos. Her body felt slightly hot, she wanted to raise her arm, but felt completely powerless.

"What happened to me?" He asked Lian Yun in a daze, as he was a little unclear about her current situation.

Lian Yun pursed her lips, and looked at the pastries on the table.

"Is there a problem with the pastries?" Shen Qingwan was a little confused, this seemed to be what she meant. But in this palace, Liu Chugrong shouldn't have the guts to poison her, so what's going on?

"Esteemed wangfei, could it be that you've forgotten about yourself? You're allergic to almonds. This pastry contains the almond powder, so you fainted because of your allergies." Seeing her at a loss, Lian Yun felt even more unsatisfied towards Liu Chu Qing. The Empress had no enmity with her, but she kept on harming her, which made him feel extremely disgusted.

Hearing Lian Yun say this, she remembered that she had never eaten almonds ever since she was young. Furthermore, she didn't expect Liu Chugrong to know about this. She suddenly felt angry.

Now that there was a clue to the corruption in the Wu Shang Shu, she and Fu Huaiyu could pretty much collude with each other. She had not gone to look for her yet, but had instead gone to look for him.

He sneered in his heart, "Lian Yun, have there been any other people who came to this place while I was unconscious?" His body had recovered some of its strength. He used his arms to support his body as he sat up. The light in his eyes dimmed.

"Is little sister feeling better?" Just as Shen Qingwan finished speaking, a crimson silk cloth walked in from the entrance.

He retracted the gloom from his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his pale face. He seemed to be somewhat powerless. "Why is the empress free to visit chenqie today?" Xiao Shushen's face was filled with weakness, showing off his sickly look. This Xiao Shushen was not easy to deal with, he still needed to be careful.

Xiao Shushen walked to her bedside and pulled out a chair to pass it to her. She then sat down, "I heard that my sister was sick, so I came here to visit. If sister needs anything, you can just tell me."

His concern on the surface was ordinary. If he did not know, he would have truly thought that she was his sister. However, the relationship between the two of them was not as friendly as it seemed.

However, Shen Qingwan had no choice but to fawn on her. "Thank you for your kind intentions, big sister. If it wasn't for big sister, I'm afraid little sister would be troubled for quite some time." However, he was sneering inside her heart. Since she was going to help, then she might as well help to the end!

Hearing that, Xiao Shushen was startled, what did she mean? Could she not understand the perfunctory meaning behind her words? How is that possible! However, the words had already left her mouth, and she could no longer take them back. "Sis, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The imperial physician said that it would be best to have a hundred year old ginseng to make up for it. It's just that such a rare object like this, little sister, does not exist here. He sighed, looking extremely troubled. "I presume elder sister is the esteemed empress of the empress, so there will naturally be one. May I borrow one from younger sister?"

It could be said that she had lost her teeth and blood, so it was impossible for her to not agree. Although she said she borrowed it, she really couldn't take it back, or else she would not be magnanimous enough. Xiao Shushen could only curl the corner of her mouth, "Of course there is. Later, when big sister goes back, I will get someone to send it over to little sister." The words seemed to be forced out word by word, and the tone was stiff.

With the fingernail in his hand, Xiao Shushen no longer had the mood to stay still. Looking at Shen Qingwan's pale face, he suppressed his anger into the bottom of his eyes.

"Little sister, rest up. Big sister will go back first."

"Lian Yun, respectfully send the Empress off." Shen Qingwan spoke indifferently, she no longer had that respectful expression from before.

In reality, it was just a matter of time before he broke out in open. In fact, he knew the other party's true appearance very well.

"Esteemed Empress, please." Lian Yun did not have any good impression of the fake Xiao Shushen and immediately sent her out.
