Xia Lian fell ill within a quarter of an hour after taking the medicine, and her condition was menacing. When she saw her face in the bronze mirror, her face was terrifying.
[Shaohua: Host, Xia Lian has taken the medicine. 】
Xu Zifan sat in the study and looked at the sky outside the window, "It's almost dinner time, what is Lin Ruoshan doing? 】
[Shaohua: The Empress Dowager has had a bad appetite these days, and Lin Ruoshan is going to the small kitchen to prepare delicious side dishes for the Empress Dowager. Yesterday, the queen mother complimented her by eating the side dishes she made. The emperor asked her to make some every day and said that she would go to the queen mother's place for dinner today. 】
Xu Zifan raised the corners of his lips, [The timing is just right, Changsheng, come back after you get the Lingquan. 】
[Changsheng: Yes, Master! I'll go back to find you! 】
Changsheng has been outside for a long time, and he has long missed his master. It surrounds the spring with its body, chanting words in its mouth. It is a divine beast of heaven and earth, and after following Xu Zifan, it is even more unpredictable, and Quanyan has long wanted to recognize it as the master. As soon as it moves, the spring will immediately enter its mustard seed, and the aura in the stream will be lost, turning into an unusual mountain spring.
Changsheng let out a long whistle in satisfaction, and turned into a small green snake with a long index finger and quickly disappeared in place, heading towards the capital.
Lin Ruoshan leaned on the soft couch in the small kitchen, instructing the two little palace maids to cook, shaking the fan gently in her hand, her eyes were full of aloofness.
The two little palace maids did not dare to be wrong, and tremblingly prepared four refreshing side dishes, Shan Sheng came out and knelt down and asked Lin Ruoshan to taste it.
Lin Ruoshan frowned in dissatisfaction, "Why does it still smell like this, I can't do this little thing well, what do I want you for?"
The two little palace maids hurriedly kowtowed in fright, "Master, forgive me, we must study hard and work hard to make more delicious dishes. I hope Master will calm down."
Lin Ruoshan looked at them for a while, then smiled and waved her hand, "Okay, let's all go out and ask Xia Lian to serve you."
"Yes, Master Xie." The two little palace maids hurriedly retired as if they were fleeing.
Lin Ruoshan saw that there was no one outside, and waved her hand to show the creek. She didn't feel depressed when she didn't see Qinglong. She believed that when she gave birth to a dragon child, Qinglong would recognize her, and maybe she would help her son to become a great treasure. It's the queen!
Lin Ruoshan smiled involuntarily and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly. This is her lucky star, the one who can really rely on her.
She scooped up a small bowl of stream water, poured it into four plates, and stirred it a little to re-arrange the plate. She relied on and trusted Lingquan very much, and after mixing it, she called someone to pack it without tasting it.
"Master, Xia Lian has persistent abdominal pain, her face is pale and she is sweating, and she can't walk anymore!" The little palace maid who went to call someone hurriedly came to report.
Lin Ruoshan frowned, "Unfortunately, why did you suddenly get sick? Hurry up and change my clothes, and Qiuye will follow me."
She can't wait to see the queen mother and the emperor. She's just a palace maid, and she's not worthy of her concern. Anyway, she will be rewarded with a soup with Lingquan later, and Xia Lian will be fine.
When Lin Ruoshan arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace, she wore a lovable smile as usual, and she was full of witty words. Both the Queen Mother and the Emperor smiled. When the side dishes were put on the poison, she prepared dishes for the queen mother and the emperor herself, waiting for their praise. Unexpectedly, the queen mother took a bite, but the next moment she spit it out, her brows furrowed.
"Lin Guiren, you didn't make this dish today? Why is it so bad?"
Lin Ruoshan was stunned for a moment, "Returning to the empress dowager, it was made by slaves."
The emperor glanced at him, tasted another dish, and frowned. The two people's daily delicacies from mountains and seas are the result of the imperial chef's pursuit of excellence. The dishes made by the palace maids have also diluted the taste with water, how can they get into their mouths? Both felt very unpalatable.
Lin Ruoshan didn't dare to talk nonsense at this time, she hurriedly took the small plates and tasted the four side dishes one by one. Just now, she was a little dissatisfied with the cooking skills of the two little palace maids. Now that the taste is light, it is naturally more unpalatable, and it is not as good as the home-cooked dishes made by Wang.
But how can this happen? No matter how ordinary you eat, adding Lingquan will make it delicious. She just relies on this to let the little palace maid make it casually. Why is Lingquan suddenly useless? !
There was a bad premonition in Lin Ruoshan's heart, but this was not the time to think about it, there were still two mountains waiting for her to explain.
She immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying that she was a little uncomfortable today, perhaps because the seasoning was useless.
This incident swept the empress dowager and the emperor's interest in eating, but she was still pregnant, so there was no way to blame her. The empress dowager waved her hand and let her retire.
Cold sweat broke out on Lin Ruoshan's forehead, she held Qiuye's wrist tightly, and quickly returned to the bedroom and locked herself in the room. She emerged from the creek and took a sip of water. The water is very sweet, but it is ordinary mountain spring water, not a spiritual spring!
Lin Ruoshan panicked, scooped the water and tasted it more than a dozen times, but it was all mountain spring water, no spiritual spring, not at all. She called out to Qinglong, and even knelt down and asked, but there was still no figure of Qinglong, and she did not restore the spiritual spring.
Lin Ruoshan thought of Xia Lian, went out and went straight to Xia Lian's room, told the others to go out, and scooped up a cup of spiritual spring water for Xia Lian to take.
Xia Lian drank the water in fear, and Lin Ruoshan asked anxiously, "How are you? Are you better?"
Xia Lian didn't understand why, "Back to the master, slave, slave, oh..."
Xia Lian's stomach cramped again, and she hurriedly went to Gongfang to plead guilty. Lin Ruoshan paced back and forth in a hurry, and after waiting for half an hour, Xia Lian was so sick that she couldn't even get out of bed, not only did she not get better, but it got worse.
She went back to the room and staggered and fell to the ground, her face looking whiter than Xia Lian. Qiuye was frightened, and hurriedly asked someone to help her up, "Master, what's the matter with you? Come on, go and get the imperial doctor!"
Lin Ruoshan has never seen an imperial doctor since she entered the palace. She has a spiritual spring and is not even afraid of poison. But at this time, she couldn't hear Qiuye's words at all. She was immersed in the panic of losing Lingquan. She just wanted to know why. Could it be that Qinglong was finally disappointed and took away Lingquan? Will that take back her reborn life? She hasn't given birth to a dragon child, hasn't been concubine and concubine, hasn't enjoyed enough glory and wealth, she can't die!
When the imperial physician came to see Lin Ruoshan, she was a little lost, and she was shocked, and hurriedly checked her pulse. After a long while, the imperial physician frowned suspiciously, "Lin Guiren... The body is fine, and the little prince is also well."
Qiuye was anxious, "Then why is the master like this?"
"This... Lin Guiren is a little anxious, maybe it's because of overthinking. It's good to meditate for a few days. If you don't worry, I'll prescribe some contraceptive pills to your honorable person."
"Doctor Wang, the maid Xia Lian, who usually serves the master, is very ill. It was only after the master saw her that she became like this. Can the doctor Wang find out what is wrong with Xia Lian?"
Generally, the maid is ill and has no chance to see a doctor. This matter is related to Lin Ruoshan and the little prince, the imperial physician Wang followed Qiuye to see Xia Lian without saying a word. His face changed after this diagnosis, "This is dysentery, and it may be contagious if not properly treated."
"What? That master she... "
"Lin Guiren is fine, perhaps she was frightened by Xia Lian's morbid state. Xia Lian can't stay in the palace, you can make arrangements quickly, don't delay."
"Yes, Doctor Wang, please prescribe some medicine to save the slaves. If the slaves are sick, they will not be able to serve the master."
Imperial Physician Wang did not refuse. He prescribed some preventive herbs and asked them to fry a bowl each, and reported the matter when they returned. Qiuye also quickly reported to Lin Ruoshan, and then asked the steward aunt to report the matter. How could Lin Ruoshan still care about Xia Lian? Seeing this, the steward's aunt arranged to send Xia Lian out of the palace and let her family take it back.
If the maids are ill, the palace will not bother to heal them. Some of them die directly, and some will have their family members take them back for resettlement.
Dysentery will cause severe abdominal pain and severe diarrhea. It can be cured with careful treatment by the imperial doctor.
At most, she will infect her family when she returns home, and will not spread to the outside world. As for whether the doctor outside has the ability to heal her, no one cares.
When Liu Hong received Xia Lian, he wept with joy, and his face was full of tears. In the palace, it seemed that he was unable to treat Xia Lian and was crying for Xia Lian. He comforted him with a few words of sympathy and left.
Li took his children and hid in a small village outside the city, preparing to run away to go to relatives if the news was bad. After Liu Hong settled down with Xia Lian, he hurriedly brought them home. For the sake of safety, they did not tell the truth to the two children, and the two children cried anxiously.
Liu Hong and Mrs. Li cleaned up again and let Xia Lian pretend to be dead when it was almost dark. The Liu family was crying loudly, and the neighbors were afraid of being infected, so they just sent some things to comfort them, but did not enter the Liu family. Liu Hong used this reason to hurriedly go to the funeral and send Xia Lian outside the city, so the others naturally didn't think it was inappropriate.
Arriving at a ruined temple outside the city, Liu Hong hurriedly gave Xia Lian the antidote, and within a moment, Xia Lian was fine.
Xia Lian lay in Li Shi's arms and cried bitterly, and it took a while before she could speak, "Father, what should I do next? Lin Guiren just ignored me because she was feeling unwell today. If she recovers and finds out that you didn't deal with Xu Zifan, she won't let it go. Yours."
Liu Hong said solemnly: "Don't be afraid, we will leave the capital tomorrow and go far. Master Xu is right, Lin Guiren has a shallow foundation, and she is not so capable, so she can't hunt us down. As long as we leave the capital, It's safe, Master Xu's home is in Anyang Mansion, we go there, and the Xu family will help us settle down."
"Father, are Xu and Master Xu reliable? We almost hurt him before..."
Liu Hong was silent for a moment and said: "Father believes in Master Xu, this is an opportunity. We may not be as safe and comfortable as before when we go to other places, and we may be able to live better than before when we go to Anyang Mansion. I can see that Master Xu is very comfortable. I'm satisfied that we didn't hurt anyone, and the Xu family is also a family of good deeds, so I'm willing to help us this time because I think our character is good, and Dad wants to try it."
"Father, you are right, we will go to Anyang Mansion." Xia Lian had never met Xu Zifan, but she believed her father's judgment. And she always felt that the person whom Lin Ruoshan hated so much was either a hundred times more vicious than Lin Ruoshan, or she was the complete opposite of Lin Ruoshan. Her instinct should be the latter, and going to Anyang Mansion was the most suitable choice.
The Liu Hong family dealt with the ruined temple all night, almost without a night's sleep, and hurriedly set off at dawn the next day. The two children were shocked and couldn't return to their senses, but they were very happy to be reunited with them after their sister came out of the palace before she died. With the joy of the rest of their lives, the family left the capital far behind, and Lin Ruoshan in the palace hadn't thought of Xia Lian, she could only pretend to be sick to avoid cooking and wine.
