"Miss, Qingju went to the flower and bird market first. She didn't buy anything. She just wandered around and looked at a few pots of flowers. She also casually asked people about the prices. Then she went to a medicine store and bought a lot of medicinal herbs. They said they were for Miss San. There were quite a lot of them. She even asked the clerk to crush some of them. Finally, she went to a candied fruit store and bought some candied fruits that Miss San liked to eat!"
When Yu Dong came in to report, it was already dark. Qu Moying sat under the lamp, tuning the strings of the guitar in his hand. After playing a few notes, he marked them down when he felt they were good, and then continued to test the sound.
"Do you know which medicines we asked the waiter to crush?" His hand fell on the strings, Qu Moying took the handkerchief handed over by Yuchun, wiped his white and slender fingers, and asked slowly.
At this time, Qingju certainly didn't go out just to buy candied fruit.
Of all the things to do, candied fruit was the last thing to be done, which showed that he was not in a hurry. Qu Moying’s focus was on the medicinal materials.
"Miss, don't worry. When I sent people out, I asked them to keep a close eye on them. Those crushed medicinal herbs were also recorded." Yu Dong took out a piece of paper from his sleeve with a smile and handed it to Qu Moying.
It would be a little inconvenient to ask about all the medicinal materials as it would attract attention, but it is still very simple to just ask about the few that need to be crushed, after all, crushing takes time.
In Yudong's opinion, the key point is how to look at the crushed ones.
Qu Moying took the paper from Yu Dong and looked at the herbs on it. They were indeed medicines for treating burns. They were made into powder for better treatment.
But there is one medicine that is a little unusual.
Qu Moying knew clearly that this medicine would not be of much benefit for burns, but of course it would not cause any harm either. It was neither good nor bad, so why did Qu Qiuyan go out of her way to get this medicine
Her long eyelashes fluttered twice and her watery eyes slightly raised, as if she was thinking about something. She didn't understand why Qu Qiuyan wanted to take this medicine. This medicine didn't seem to be prescribed by the doctor to treat burns.
Even if this medicine has some effect, the effect is almost nonexistent.
If it were someone else, they would not be able to tell whether this medicine was good or bad, and would only think that a doctor who did not know much about the properties of medicine had prescribed this medicine to Qu Qiuyan. However, Qu Moying knew that this medicine had another hidden characteristic, which was that it could not bleed. If the wound bled, the effect of applying this medicine would not be normal...
Her face turned cold and a sharp light flashed in her eyes. She was sure that this medicine was most likely the one she was looking for.
Is it just blood
Why did Qu Qiuyan conclude that she would be injured and bleed after entering the palace
"Miss, is there a problem with the medicine?" Seeing Qu Moying hesitating in silence, Yu Dong also understood something and asked hurriedly.
Qu Moying nodded, "There are some problems!"
There were still some doubts that she hadn't figured out, and she couldn't explain them clearly for a while. She thought about what Yu Dong had said before, and then asked, "Qing Ju went to the flower and bird market first? Which flower and bird market?"
"It's the largest flower and bird market in the capital. There are the most flowers and birds there. Many families go there to buy flowers and birds. It seems that our family also goes there." Yu Dong thought for a while and said.
There are many flower and bird markets in the capital, but the most famous one is the one not far outside the inner city of the capital. It is said that it has some connection with the palace.
Yudong couldn't explain what it was exactly.
Qu Moying fell silent for a while, and after a long while he ordered: "Tomorrow, be careful!"
"Miss, since there is danger, you can just use illness as an excuse to not go," Yu Dong suggested.
Qu Moying shook his head and said firmly: "No need! There are some things that you can't avoid."
There was one thing she didn't say, and she didn't intend to hide. Qu Qiuyan was plotting against her, and it seemed like she had a thorough plan. So the fact that she came here today to ask Nanny Yan for help was very suspicious.
Does this mean to transfer Nanny Yan away from him
The corners of her lips curled up silently. Qu Qiuyan thought that only Nanny Yan could hold her own in the palace, so she transferred Nanny Yan away.
Seeing that his young lady was determined to do so, Yu Dong said helplessly: "Young lady, you must be more careful tomorrow. The third young lady must have bad intentions!"
Qu Moying nodded. She would be very careful tomorrow!
There are some things that cannot be taken lightly. If you are careless, the whole thing will be ruined. After her rebirth, she has been very careful at every step. Even if she has everything in her hands, she is still very uncertain.
In her previous life, she thought happiness was a sure thing, but what happened in the end
There was a sinister flash in her eyes. She closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again. She was clear-headed again. She would not, and dared not, be careless.
Seeing Qu Moying nod, Yu Dong was relieved a little, and then asked: "Miss, why should we give the agate rockery to Miss Three today?"
Speaking of this, Yudong was full of annoyance. Not long after the Third Miss left, the Madam asked my nanny to come and get it. If she said that this matter had nothing to do with the Third Miss, Yudong would never believe it.
"Since she wants it, give it to her!" Qu Moying raised his head, and the corners of his lips curled up silently, hiding the discomfort in his heart.
Qu Qiuyan is one aspect, and the Duke of Qi's Mansion is another. For some reason, she doesn't want the gift from the Duke of Qi's Mansion.
Since someone likes it, she is willing to give it away. However, Concubine He may not cherish it very much because of its appearance. It is very likely that she will just give it away as an award.
Wasn’t it originally owned by Jingyu County Lord
Of course, she would not let Qu Qiuyan get away with it. If she took what she had, she would have to give it back eventually...
Early the next morning, Qu Moying was awakened by Yuchun. After dressing up, she went to the lady's yard. The lady had also gotten up early.
She also prepared some gifts for Concubine Qu, and asked Qu Moying and Qu Qiuyan to bring them into the palace.
When Qu Moying came over, Qu Qiuyan was already there. Upon seeing Qu Moying coming, the two of them greeted each other as usual. Although both had grim expressions, at least they didn't look seriously injured.
The lady looked at them, sighed helplessly, and asked someone to serve breakfast.
Qu Moying and Qu Qiuyan both came here without having to do anything. They spent a little time with the lady dowager and then got on the carriage waiting at the door.
A carriage was prepared. The two young ladies, along with their two maids and Nanny Yan, got on the large carriage. The coachman whipped the horse and drove towards the central palace road. After turning the upper palace road, they could reach the main gate of the imperial palace directly.
In the carriage, Qu Qiuyan frowned and looked a little uncomfortable. Qingju hurriedly asked with concern: "Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Not bad!" Qu Qiuyan's brows were still frowned.
"Is the wound split open? Miss, do you want to apply some more medicine powder?" Qingju said as she took out a medicine bag from her sleeve. "This is what Madam had prepared. It is better than what Miss used before. Can I apply some more for you?"
"No need, it's not cracked. I just accidentally put my hand in too quickly. It's okay!" Qu Qiuyan shook her head.
Seeing her like this, Qingju stopped trying to persuade her and put the medicine bag she had just taken out back into her sleeve.
The master and servant spoke in low voices. After they finished speaking, they looked at Qu Moying opposite them, only to find that she had her eyes closed, resting, and ignoring what was happening on their side.
But this is the relationship between the two sides, so it doesn’t matter if Qu Moying is silent.
There was no sound from Qu Qiuyan either, and she closed her eyes, just like Qu Moying, as she was resting her eyes. However, the two maids looked at each other, and finally turned their heads away.
If the master is not harmonious, the maids will not be able to get along either!
The carriage was spacious, and although there were many people sitting in it, it was not crowded.
Finally, the carriage stopped at the palace gate. Qingju and Yudong jumped off the carriage first, followed by Nanny Yan. They went to the palace gate to report to the guards.
The two maids helped their respective ladies out of the carriage, then took the prepared gift boxes and followed behind.
The gatekeepers had already received a notification from the palace and knew that these were the two young ladies of the Qu family. They were entering the palace to visit Concubine Qu, so they did not make things difficult for them and let them in.
After walking along the long palace corridor from the outer palace gate to the inner palace gate, the two eunuchs guarding the inner palace gate also let me pass.
There were already two palace sedan chairs waiting there. Two people got on the sedan chairs, and the eunuchs lifted them up and carried them inside.
Although they spent quite a while walking on the road, they didn't meet anyone and went straight to Concubine Qu's palace!
As they entered the palace, the news reached the ears of those who cared...
The cat is fat but very cute, with long snow-white fur that is combed very softly, and a pair of big sapphire eyes that are almost enough to melt people's hearts. Anyone who sees it will want to hug it.
Such a fat cat, seemingly with a good temper and never scratching anyone, now lazily came out from behind a bunch of flowers, turning its big sapphire eyes to look at the group of people coming the other way.
There are many people holding it, and it is not afraid of people coming! It also does not think that anyone will hurt it!
But the next moment, Cat's Eyes became alert, bent its body slightly, took a step back, and looked vigilantly at the person who came first. The flashing dark purple irises on the purple brocade robe made the cat panic, and subconsciously took another step back.
Pei Yuanjun looked at the cat lazily, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and then he kept walking forward.
A guard who followed him came out from behind him and walked quickly towards the cat. The cat saw that something was wrong and turned around to run, but after running a few steps, he was caught by the guard and thrown to the side.
There was a small pond there, and the cat fell directly into the pond, struggling desperately and screaming.
After the guard threw the cat out, he turned around and chased after his master's back, striding away. His master hated this cat the most, and would not hold back whenever she saw one. Even though he knew that this was the most beloved cat of the most favored imperial concubine in the palace, what did it matter!
A palace maid jumped from the shore into the pond and managed to rescue the cat from the water.
The cat also panicked. It changed its docile nature and started scratching the palace maid ferociously, not only on her clothes, but also on her hands and face.
No matter how much it hurt, the maid didn't dare to let go. She hurriedly reached out to comfort the cat. If she really let the cat die here, the imperial concubine would have to peel off her own skin...
