But it must be said that Shen Qingwan's fainting due to an allergic reaction did delay the progress of the investigation into Wu Shangshu. However, Liu Churong was angrily smashing the decorations in the room.
If it weren't for this damn bitch, her image in the emperor's heart wouldn't have been ruined! Thinking this in her heart, she threw things with increasing force, and suddenly she lost control, and the fragments flew everywhere, and even a few pieces of debris pierced her flesh, and she felt a sharp pain.
"Ah!" She cried out in surprise, tears falling down her cheeks. "Quick! Come quickly! Lamei!"
La Mei, who had been guarding outside, hurried in when she heard her scream, only to see her standing by the table. "Empress Dowager, what's wrong with you?" Without caring about anything else, she quickly helped her sit down on the bed.
"Leg..." Liu Churong grimaced in pain and even found it difficult to speak.
Lamei hurried out to call the imperial physician over. When he came back, Liu Churong was sweating profusely from the pain, and his face looked a little pale.
"Your Highness, please be patient." After seeing the wounds on her body, the imperial physician did not look nervous at all. He was used to such minor injuries and did not think there was anything to worry about. However, she was the Empress after all, and her body must be delicate and precious, so she could not bear such pain.
At this time, Shen Qingwan was also running a fever, lying on the bed with a burning sensation all over her body, and had not yet woken up. Lianyun was also very anxious, but fortunately the imperial physician said that she was fine and would recover with more rest, which helped her calm down a little.
"Alas, it's all that Concubine Liu's fault. If it weren't for her, the Queen wouldn't be lying here like this." Xiao Man grumbled somewhat dissatisfiedly, "What if something happens to the Queen?" As she spoke, her brows furrowed even tighter. Shen Qingwan usually treated them very well, and now that she was like this, they, as servants, were also very worried.
"Forget it, Xiaoman, don't say any more. If others hear it and cause trouble, it will make the queen worry even more." Lianyun held Xiaoman, remembering that she had gotten into trouble because of this before, and now she couldn't let her go her own way again.
When I changed Shen Qingwan's handkerchief, I suddenly noticed that her eyelashes seemed to flutter slightly.
"Empress?" Lianyun called out softly tentatively, and as expected, she got a response.
"Hmm..." Shen Qingwan moaned, her head was in a mess and her body was slightly hot. She wanted to raise her arms, but felt very weak.
"What's wrong with me?" He asked Lianyun blankly, somewhat confused about his current situation.
Lianyun pursed her lips and glanced at the pastries on the table.
"Is there something wrong with the cake?" Shen Qingwan was a little confused. Seeing her expression, it seemed that this was what she meant. But in this palace, Liu Churong should not have the courage to poison her, so what was going on
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you are allergic to almonds? This pastry contains almond powder, and you fainted due to the allergy." Seeing her confused look, Lianyun was even more dissatisfied with Liu Chuwen. Her Majesty had no grudges against her, but she had harmed her time and time again, which was really disgusting.
When she heard Lianyun say this, she remembered that she had never eaten almonds since she was a child, which was why she had forgotten about it. Moreover, she had never thought that Liu Churong would know about this matter, and she suddenly felt a little angry.
Now that there is a clue about Shangshu Wu's corruption, it is basically confirmed that she and Fu Huaiyu are colluding with each other. She hasn't gone to find her yet, but she came to her door instead.
He sneered in his heart, "Lianyun, has anyone else come here during the time I was unconscious?" He had recovered some strength and used his arms to prop himself up and sit up, his eyes dim.
"Are you feeling better, sister?" Just as Shen Qingwan finished her words, a dark red brocade cloth stepped in from the door.
She put away the darkness in her eyes and put a smile on her pale face, a faint one, and seemed a little powerless, "How come Your Majesty has time to come and see me today?" Her face was full of weakness, showing her sickly appearance vividly. Xiao Shushen was not someone who could be easily dealt with, and she needed to be careful with her.
Xiao Shushen walked to her bedside, Lianyun pulled a chair over to her, and she sat down. "I heard that my sister was sick, so I came to visit her. If my sister needs anything, just let me know."
The concern on the surface is just ordinary. If you don't know, you would really think that they are sisters. But in fact, the relationship between the two is not as kind as it seems.
But Shen Qingwan had to pretend to be nice to her, "Thank you so much for your kindness, sister. If it weren't for you, I would have been worried for a long time." She suddenly showed a sad look, but she sneered in her heart. Since you want to help, then help to the end!
Hearing this, Xiao Shushen was stunned. What did she mean by this? Could it be that she couldn't hear the perfunctory meaning in her words? How could that be possible! But the words had already been spoken, and there was no way to take them back. "Sister, just say whatever you want to say."
"I don't know. My sister is very weak now. The imperial physician said that it would be best to have a ginseng that is over a hundred years old to replenish her body. However, this is a rare thing. My sister, there is really no such thing here. If I look for it now, it will probably take a long time." She sighed and seemed very embarrassed. "I believe that since you are the queen, you must have some. Can you lend me one?"
It can be said that she had to swallow her anger, and now she couldn't refuse. Although she said it was a loan, she really couldn't take it back, otherwise she would be criticized for not being generous enough. Xiao Shushen had no choice but to pull the corner of her mouth, "Of course there is. When my sister goes back later, I will ask the servants to send it to me." This sentence seemed to be forced out word by word, and the tone was a little stiff.
Xiao Shushen dug her nails into her palms and didn't feel like staying here any longer. She glanced at Shen Qingwan's pale face and suppressed her anger in her eyes, which would only show a hint when she lowered her head occasionally.
"Sister, take a rest. I will go back first."
"Lianyun, respectfully bid farewell to the Queen." Shen Qingwan spoke lightly, and it was obvious that she was no longer as respectful as before.
In fact, it is just not convenient to tear each other's faces now. In fact, we all know clearly what the other party is like.
"Empress, please." Lianyun didn't like Xiao Shushen, who seemed hypocritical, and immediately sent her out.
