Chapter 13 Being Poisoned

Sixteen the next day.

Lin Xi didn't wake up until noon, feeling like her whole body was falling apart.

She limped back to Bibo Garden and collapsed on the bed without even bothering to eat breakfast.

"Qingqing", her voice trembled.

"Go and get me some medicine."

Qingqing blushed and left quickly.

I quickly brought back a bottle of Jasper cooling ointment.

Lin Ximeng blushed and took it, pulled down the curtain and applied the medicine herself.

After finishing all this, Lin Ximeng slept comfortably for another night before finally gathering the energy to get up to eat.

By this time, it was already mid-afternoon.

On the dining table were lunches brought by Bauhinia, all of which were good.

The crucian carp and tofu soup is rich and fragrant, the stir-fried fresh bamboo shoots are refreshing and crisp, the steamed rice is shiny and shiny, there is also a sweet and sour cherry meat, a dry-fried sweetfish, and a plate of neatly cut seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Every dish here is not something that a concubine like her should enjoy.

Lin Ximeng scooped up a spoonful of fragrant fish soup, smiled and said to Qingqing: "Our fifty taels of silver are indeed not in vain."

Qingqing smiled: "The master must be favored, otherwise the little screwdriver would not be able to spend fifty taels of silver."

The master and servant were talking and laughing.

Lin Ximeng was so sleepy and so hungry that her chest pressed against her back, and she didn't notice anything wrong with the bowl of crucian carp soup.

After finishing the last sip, Lin Ximeng felt that her eyes were getting dark.

"Qingqing, why can't I see clearly suddenly..."

"Qingqing..."

Before he finished speaking, his whole body fell limply to the ground, with black blood flowing out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Qingqing turned pale with fright. After being stunned for a long time, she suddenly ran to the front yard.

"Come here, our master has fainted."

According to common sense, Qingqing knew not to yell, but to go to the front yard to find someone to call the doctor.

But she was too scared right now.

With the dark blood, she couldn't think of any other possibility besides being poisoned.

This backyard is too poisonous. Who hates the master so much and wants to do such a cruel thing? Are they really not afraid that the master will find out and kill their whole family?

The master is accepting the favor after all, right?

Qingqing's cry successfully attracted Zhao Liangdi and was successfully stopped.

"Miss Qingqing is so anxious, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Liangdi took the maid's arm and walked towards her unhurriedly.

Qingqing had no choice but to kneel down and salute, saying that her master was ill and needed to see a doctor.

"sick?"

Miss Zhou behind Zhao Liangdi covered her mouth with a handkerchief in surprise.

"Oh, what kind of illness is it? Is it serious? My sister followed the master to the palace for the banquet yesterday. Why did she suddenly become ill today?"

"Miss Qingqing, why are you running to the front yard? You should be looking for Sister Zhao?"

She looked at Zhao Liangdi with tears in her eyes.

"Master Liangdi, Sister Lin and I were both given by the Empress to the master. We don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face. You must save her."

Zhao Liangdi helped Miss Zhou up with her own hands.

"Don't worry, the master has given me the stewardship of the backyard. How could I not save him even if I die?"

She walked slowly to the pavilion in the back garden, sat down leisurely, drank a cup of tea, and told her maid Yunxiang.

"Go get the right cards, ask someone to set up a car and go to the east of the city to ask for Doctor Liu from the Golden Cottage."

A concubine is not qualified to use an imperial doctor. If someone in the house has a headache or a fever, he will have to hire a doctor from the city.

Doctor Liu of Jincaotang is a famous apricot sage in the capital. Only high-ranking officials are qualified to hire him.

Just a little bit.

Dr. Liu is quite busy with his daily medical visits. He is usually seen three times, and it would be nice to be in the clinic once.

At this time, Zhao Liangdi is going to ask for Dr. Liu, but she may not have good intentions.

Qingqing was so anxious that ants were swarming in the hot pot.

"It's better to invite a doctor from nearby to cure our master of the poison first."

After all, she was just a little girl who had nothing to do. Her mind was completely blank at this moment, even the most basic logic was gone.

She should know, how could Zhao Liangdi not know the fact that even she knew.

It's nothing more than intentional.

Qingqing was entangled by Zhao Liangdi and could not escape for a while.

In Bibo Garden.

Lin Ximeng was helped up by Zijing and lay down on the bed.

Bauhinia was also frightened, her hands and feet were trembling.

Lin Ximeng just felt confused, her vision was flickering in and out, and her stomach was cramping again and again.

In her previous life, she was a small social animal, and she learned a lot about traditional Chinese medicine and health care in order to save her life and prevent sudden death.

In my impression, the first reaction to food poisoning is to induce vomiting.

She dug her throat hard with her index finger and vomited all over the floor in just a few seconds.

My mind went through it again at lightning speed, herbs for detoxification and herbs for life-threatening.

There was no time to tell Zijing, so she stumbled to the side room, opened an old ginseng among her new rewards, chewed it dry and swallowed it.

I also swallowed a few Bezoar Jiedu Pills and Plum Blossom Qingwei Ointment.

After doing this, Lin Ximeng could no longer hold on and fainted completely.

——

One hour passed, two hours passed.

It wasn't until dark that the backyard was about to be locked, and Qingqing finally came in hastily with an apprentice from the medical clinic.

When checking her pulse, Qingqing was so angry that she knelt on the ground and cried.

It was said that Zhao Liangdi was deliberately stalling for time. One moment she said that the carriage in the mansion was broken down, and the other moment she said that the coachman had taken leave to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival and had not yet returned.

It was just a matter of hiring a doctor and dragging it from afternoon to evening.

"Master, they clearly did this on purpose. Are you awake?"

"They are all useless slaves. I can't even hire a doctor..."

"Hey, you haven't checked your pulse yet. How is our master doing?"

Qingqing was very irritable, especially when she saw Zijing and Dagui kneeling aside and crying, her heart became even colder.

Who would have thought that the magnificent Bibo Garden would one day fall into this situation.

The young apprentice took his pulse and said respectfully: "This master is poisoned by the poison of poinsettia. There is no cure for this poison. The blood will seal your throat."

But he hesitated for a while and scratched his head.

"It's strange that this master is still fine. Logically speaking, he should be dead, right?"

When Qingqing heard this, he was so angry that he kicked the young apprentice out with curses and beatings.

Angrily, she came back and leaned beside the bed, wiping the blood off her master's face.

After doing this, she turned around and glared at Zijing and Dagui.

"Stop crying, Dagui, go to the front yard and give the master a message."

"Zijing, go to our small warehouse and look for any medicinal materials."

Dagui choked and knelt on the ground: "I have already inquired about this, but the master is not in the house today."

Bauhinia also held up a small box.

"Our warehouse is pitifully small. We only have a pack of herbs and a few old ginseng sticks. The master seems to have eaten one."

Qingqing: "..."
