After a while, Chen Biyu came back to her senses from her longing. She raised her head and saw that everyone in the room was looking at her, with an embarrassed smile on her face. Then she said to Wei Ailian: "Mom, I know how to do it."

Drink the medicine obediently."

Wei Ailian's heart felt sour again, and she finally held back her tears and said, "Okay, okay, mother, feed you."

Wei Ailian sat on the bedside and fed the medicine spoon by spoon. The medicine contained a hint of coptis, so the whole bowl of medicine was bitter. However, Chen Biyu's tongue could no longer feel the bitter taste. It was just that such a large bowl of medicine was often taken.

And spit out more than half of it.

After finally finishing the medicine, Chen Biyu's maid took a black plum and put it in Chen Biyu's mouth and said, "Girl, suppress the bitter taste."

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Biyu's lips, but she was reluctant to chew the plum in her mouth.

Qingluan couldn't help but look at Wei Ailian, but heard Wei Ailian say: "The plums in this box were prepared by Zixuan. Biyu must take one after taking the medicine, otherwise the medicine will definitely make her vomit.

."

Probably because Lin Zixuan was the only obsession in Chen Biyu's heart, Chen Biyu cherished everything he sent in, even a plum.

Qingluan's heart couldn't help but move. She knew Lin Zixuan's scumbag nature best. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the Gao family and Wei Ailian mentioned the marriage between Lin Zixuan and Chen Biyu, at that time he estimated that Lin Zixuan would not

Agreed.

It's not because Chen Biyu is not good enough, but because Lin Zixuan always knows how to maximize his own interests.

The Gao family rescued Chen Chiqi, so Lin Zixuan wanted to take Chen Changmin as his teacher, but deep down in his heart, he just wanted to use Chen Changmin, his connections, and his knowledge to make his imperial examination more successful.

Weight.

After squeezing Chen Changmin's interests, Lin Zixuan will definitely kick Chen Changmin away. In his last life, he could even scheme against Weiyuan Hou Mansion, let alone Chen Changmin.

When the news of Chen Biyu and Lin Zixuan's engagement reached her ears, Qingluan was greatly surprised. How could Lin Zixuan get married at this time? You must know that it will be spring soon, and when he

After attending Chunwei High School, his net worth was greatly different. At that time, Chen Biyu surpassed Lin Zixuan.

How could Lin Zixuan sell his wife's position so easily? This is not in line with his character at all.

The strangeness of Chen Biyu's illness this time really made Qingluan very suspicious. After thinking about it, he said: "It just so happens that I don't have any taste in my mouth. Give me one, and my cousin won't be reluctant to part with it."

A trace of reluctance flashed in Chen Biyu's eyes, but Qingluan pretended not to see it.

Chen Biyu could only nod towards the maid and said, "Cousin Qingluan was joking, but it's just a plum."

The maid handed over the box containing the plums. Qingluan twisted one and quietly accepted the plums with her sleeves. She felt heavy and uncomfortable in her heart. Chen Biyue cherished even the plums given by Lin Zixuan, which shows that she

Her whole heart has fallen on Lin Zixuan. If it is found out that Lin Zixuan really wanted to kill her, I don't know if Chen Biyu can bear such a blow.

After taking the medicine, Chen Biyu looked drowsy again. Qingluan stood up and said, "Let my cousin have a good sleep for a while. Let's go out."

Wei Ailian helped Chen Biyu lie down, gave some instructions to the maid, and then left the house with Qingluan Chen Baoyu.

"Qingluan, you can stay here and have dinner before leaving." When the three of them went out, Wei Ailian said to Qingluan.

Qingluan responded: "Thank you very much, aunt. Aunt, please go and do your work first. I'll go and sit in cousin Baoyu's house."

"Okay, then go ahead, Baoyu, entertain cousin Qingluan well." Wei Ailian is naturally busy as the head of the family, and Qingluan is left to eat, so she has to go to the kitchen to make arrangements first.

Chen Baoyu responded and took Qingluan to the opposite room. The two sisters' rooms happened to be opposite each other.

Neither of them spoke. After meeting Chen Biyu, Qingluan could understand why Wei Ailian and Chen Baoyu were like this. Looking at Chen Biyu's appearance, it really didn't look like she could survive this spring.

Chen Baoyu asked the maid to serve tea, and sat on the beauty's couch with Wei Qingluan. He said with a depressed expression: "Cousin, it's rare for you to come to the Chen family. I should have entertained you well, but I'm really not in the mood. Why don't you please

Cousin, it’s better not to blame."

Qingluan shook his head, took Chen Baoyu's hand and said, "I'm stupid, maybe I'm the kind of person who thinks too little."

Chen Baoyu flattened his mouth and couldn't help crying "Wow" when he saw Qingluan's gentle eyes. She had been holding it in for too long. Chen Biyu's illness was getting worse and she couldn't even talk to anyone.

No, seeing her mother losing weight day by day, she really didn't want to cry in front of her, but she was really scared, afraid that her sister would die like this.

Chen Biyu is the first child of Mr. and Mrs. Chen. Naturally, he was loved by thousands of people when he was born. However, after giving birth to Chen Biyu, Wei Ailian has never been pregnant. No matter how good the relationship between the couple is, if they can't give birth to a son.

It's nonsense. After three years, guard Ai Lian finally got pregnant again. Naturally, she thought that the child in her belly would be a son.

But the daughter born in the end was still Chen Baoyu. Probably for this reason, the Chen couple favored their eldest daughter more and neglected their second daughter Chen Baoyu.

In Chen Baoyu's mind, the best person in the world is her sister Chen Biyu. When she was young, Chen Biyu always let her have fun and food, even if sometimes she was jealous of her and acted willfully towards her.

Even if she lost her temper, Chen Biyu would never get angry, and she would always be good-tempered and spoil her.

Therefore, seeing Chen Biyu's body getting weaker and weaker, the fear accumulated in Chen Baoyu's heart became more and more serious. She was afraid that Chen Biyu would not be able to survive. However, she was too afraid to say to Wei Ailian, how are you today?

It's easy to cry uncontrollably when you have someone to talk to.

Qingluan patted her back gently without saying a word, letting Chen Baoyu vent her anger.

Chen Baoyu cried for half an hour, and then the crying gradually stopped, and he leaned on Qingluan's knees and twitched.

Seeing that her mood had calmed down, Qingluan raised her head. Chen Baoyu's originally red and swollen eyes were now as swollen as walnuts, and her beautiful almond eyes were squeezed into a slit.

Qingluan nodded towards the maid, and then the maid came in with water from the well. Qingluan personally twisted the handkerchief and applied it to Chen Baoyu's eyes, saying, "Do you feel better now?"

Chen Baoyu nodded uncomfortably, crying like this was a shameful behavior after all.

Qingluan smiled lightly and said, "It's human nature for you to worry about your sister. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

After washing up, Wei Qingluan handed the tea to Chen Baoyu and said, "You should be thirsty after crying for so long. Take a sip of tea to moisten your throat."

Wei Qingluan's gentleness was very helpful to Chen Baoyu. Although the two were direct cousins, the Chen family lived in Jiangnan before. Although Chen Baoyu liked Qingluan very much, he also vaguely felt that she was of noble status.

There is such a barrier, but today's crying and persuasion have brought the two of them closer.

Wei Qingluan took a sip of tea and then asked: "When did Cousin Biyu's health first appear?"

Chen Baoyu thought for a while and said: "It's the first month. At first, I had a bad appetite and lost weight. Later, my sister always said that she had no strength. She hired two doctors and couldn't find anything wrong. By February

In the middle of the year, his health became worse and worse. He spent most of the time in a coma. All the famous doctors in Beijing tried their best to invite him. Even brother Zixuan also invited several doctors, but none of them came.

use."

When Qingluan heard Lin Zixuan's name, he lowered his eyes slightly and suppressed the sharpness in his eyes. After a while, he asked, "Cousin Biyue seems to like my uncle's student very much."

Chen Baoyu nodded vigorously: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, my sister saw Brother Zixuan in the garden and had thoughts in her heart. Later, Aunt Gao proposed to get married. Both father and mother felt that Brother Zixuan

He is a good person, so they all agreed to the marriage. After my sister knew that her marriage to brother Zixuan was settled, she secretly

I have been happy for a long time, but not long after the marriage was set, my sister fell ill. At first, no matter how painful the medicine the doctor prescribed or the need for an injection, she didn’t even frown. She also wanted to cure her illness.

It was cured, but taking so many medicines has no effect, my sister is getting thinner and thinner, and her confidence in treating the disease is gradually disappearing."

When Chen Baoyu was talking, Qingluan kept his head down, staring at the tea cup in his hand, as if he was in a trance or thinking.

"Lin Zixuan is my uncle's student. He often goes in and out of Chen's house. Do he have many opportunities to meet his cousin?" Qingluan asked again.

Chen Baoyu was not suspicious at all, and just said: "Although my sister likes brother Zixuan, she has always been the most polite. In the past, my sister often went to my father's study. Since brother Zixuan became my father's student, my sister has become a student of my father.

Never been there again.”

Qingluan frowned slightly, he really didn't expect Chen Biyu to sink into the ground so deeply with just one glance.

"My uncle and aunt like Lin Zixuan so much. Cousin, you also talk about brother Zixuan. Is that Lin Zixuan really that good?"

Chen Baoyu said: "Brother Zixuan is very good. After my sister fell ill, brother Zixuan also hired several doctors for help. Knowing that my sister could not eat, he sent a lot of food to her. My sister could not eat anything else, but every time

Whenever Brother Zixuan brings something in, she will force herself to take a few bites."

Qingluan's face darkened slightly, so what Lin Zixuan sent was not just the box of ebony plums. Qingluan subconsciously touched the ebony plum that she had hidden, and suddenly realized that maybe this plum could not be checked.

Whatever happened, Lin Zixuan was really too cunning. If he really wanted to tamper with the food, ten Chen Biyu would have been poisoned to death by him.

However, the Chen family still trusts Lin Zixuan so much. Even if she tells them that Lin Zixuan is not a good person, unfortunately no one will believe it. She can never tell them that she was destroyed by Lin Zixuan in her last life, so for him

You know your nature very well.

Qingluan asked Chen Baoyu in different ways, but Lin Zixuan had been sending things, food, and entertainment to Chen Biyu's yard almost every day since she became ill. It was really difficult to check. 13acv.

After a while, Wei Ailian sent someone to invite Qingluan. Qingluan agreed to stay for dinner mainly because he wanted to inquire about the situation from Chen Baoyu. However, the situation was obviously not ideal. Now he could only hope that the royal family in the palace would

The doctor is knowledgeable and can tell whether Chen Biyu's illness is what he thinks it is.

After Qingluan had dinner at the Chen family, Wei Ailian was about to send a carriage when Wei Che came to pick him up in person. The Chen family was some distance away from the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, and it was night again, so Wei Che also

Don't worry, sister.

Wei Che rode a horse when he came, and got into the carriage with Qingluan when he left.

"Luan'er, is Chen's cousin's illness serious?" Wei Che couldn't help but ask when he saw Qingluan's frown.

Qingluan nodded and said, "If the cause of the disease is no longer found, I'm afraid I won't survive this spring."

Wei Che's expression became solemn unconsciously: "Tomorrow I will go to Tai Hospital in person to ask Mr. Weng to come over."

Mr. Weng is the head of the Imperial Hospital, and his medical skills are naturally the best. However, his exclusive physician rarely treats other people on weekdays. However, Wei Che once saved the life of the grandson of Mr. Weng from under the hooves of a horse on the street.

, so Dr. Weng owed her brother a favor.

"Brother, I wonder if Dr. Weng has any research on poisons?" Qingluan asked after hesitating for a moment.

Wei Che's expression turned sharp, and he frowned and asked, "Why do you ask that? Do you suspect that the Chen family's cousin is not sick but poisoned?"

The Chen family just transferred from Shaoxing Prefecture to Shangjing during the Chinese New Year, and the Chen family's cousin began to fall ill before she was born in the first month of the year. She was just a girl from the boudoir and didn't even know anyone in Shangjing. It was really hard to imagine that anyone would come to Beijing.

Poison plotted to kill her.
