Chapter 27 The Queen's Disease Was Not Caused By Me
"Meow~"
The cat didn't seem to be afraid of people and barked softly at them.
Ling Yutong's heart trembled at Meng's surprise, and the vigilance in her eyes gradually dissipated.
But she was still awake, and doubts appeared in her eyebrows. A cat appeared late at night, and at first glance, this cat was raised very preciously.
Maybe the nobleman's cat Tan Wan ran out?
Noble...
Her eyes flickered. Did Ruan Fu once say that the Queen's cat was ill recently, so he was extra busy?
"What do you want to do?" Qi Yan caught a glimpse of her expression and asked in a low voice.
Ling Yutong stared at the cat and replied in a low voice: "I think this cat may belong to the Queen."
"I have always heard that the Queen is the most just. You and I are not banned now, but we have always been too passive in the palace. This cat came to our door, maybe this is an opportunity."
Qi Yan said nothing.
Ling Yutong turned to look at him: "The Queen's palace is so far away from us, and this cat can even bump into it. Why can't we give it a try? We can leave an impression on the Queen for the last time."
The night was pouring, and her eyes seemed to contain stars.
In the end, Qi Yan did not refuse, but said: "It is normal for women to have love. It is inconvenient for me to go, so you should pay more attention to yourself."
He paused and then added: "The Empress is indeed very fair. Her mother's family name is Chen, her father is Chen Yikang, the current Minister of Punishment, and her younger brother is Chen Qiushui, the Censor of Zuodu, Duchayuan."
"According to common sense, the queen will not see you late at night. However, everything is open to chance. If you are lucky enough to see the queen in person, remember not to be arrogant. Being free and easy will win the queen's eyes."
Ling Yutong's lips curved slightly: "I've written it down."
She turned back to look at the cat. The cat stretched out its front paws and looked cute and innocent.
She approached gently and called in a low voice: "Kitten, come to me, okay?"
The cat's ears twitched, attracted by her voice, and walked toward her with small elegant steps. Ling Yutong's eyes lit up, and he took a few steps forward. The next moment, the cat's soft fur touched her skirt.
shirt.
She bent down to pick up the cat and sighed sincerely: "So good."
Qi Yan's gaze stabilized and he thought to himself that the expression on her face at this moment was softer than he had ever seen before.
It was already the curfew. After Ling Yutong left Qi Yan temporarily, she had not taken a few steps when she bumped into a guard who was patrolling at night. Before the guard could scold her, Ling Yutong quickly explained the reason.
The guard glanced at the cat in her arms and said with a sullen face, "This cat does indeed belong to the Queen. You can just send it off as a slave. Go back!"
With that said, he was about to take the cat from her hand.
But he had a fierce look on his face. Animals are the best at sensing emotions. Ling Yutong felt that the fur on the cat in his arms was about to explode and his back was about to arch. When the guard reached out, the cat quickly and accurately touched the back of his hand.
Give it a good scratch!
The cat's claws were sharp and blood was instantly visible.
The guard hissed in pain, and there was anger in his eyes, but when he saw the cat blowing at him, as if it was about to claw at him again, he stepped back unconsciously and did not dare to get angry again.
This is the Queen's cat, and it should be treated as a master.
Ling Yutong was also startled, seeing that the soft and lovely cat's claws were so fierce. She took a step back and separated herself from the guards. The cat gradually became gentle in her arms and retracted its claws.
In the darkness, she glanced down and seemed to see some light.
Before she had time to pay attention, she raised her eyes and looked at the guard: "Well...how about I go? It's not afraid of me."
The guard's face darkened, but in the end pain and reason prevailed. He turned his head and nodded at someone behind him: "Follow her."
…
Surprisingly, the queen's palace was brightly lit.
Ling Yutong's eyelids twitched, and her intuition told her that she might have hit a bad time.
There was a serious palace maid at the entrance of the palace. As soon as she saw her, she walked over quickly. "Snowball? Did it sneak out again?"
The palace maid didn't ask her identity and directly reached out to pick up the cat. Unexpectedly, the cat turned over and grabbed her clothes tightly, unwilling to leave.
The palace maid had no choice but to say, "Why don't you send it in directly? Its nest is just outside and inside. You just need to walk more slowly. Your Majesty has an emergency tonight and the imperial doctor is treating her inside."
Ling Yutong's eyes flashed, emergency?
The palace maid turned around and led the way directly in front. From an angle that Ling Yutong couldn't see, the palace maid lowered her eyes and her eyes were obscure.
Ling Yutong frowned slightly, suppressed the vague feeling of weirdness in her heart, and followed in.
There was a tense atmosphere in the inner room. She took a glance and saw that an imperial physician was administering acupuncture to the Queen's bed, and several other imperial physicians frowned and discussed something in low voices.
Nestling behind the screen that separated the inner room, she was about to put down the cat and leave. But the moment she approached the nest, the queen lying on the couch suddenly became short of breath and rolled her eyes!
The imperial doctor was startled: "Why did your mother's condition suddenly deteriorate?"
The cat returned to its nest and meowed softly. Ling Yutong felt bad when his eyes fell on her, and the next moment, sharp questions came.
"Where did this unknown person come from? What did he bring with him that made the Queen's condition worse? Take her into custody!"
The several imperial doctors who were discussing the matter raised their eyebrows and turned to look at her sharply.
Ling Yutong raised her eyes, and without the obstruction of several imperial doctors, she clearly saw the symptoms of the Queen's illness.
Her pupils shrank, such an emergency...
At this time, the palace maid who brought her in knelt down with a plop, and said in panic: "Snowball ran out. It was this girl who met me, slave..."
Aunt Gui, who was standing in front of the couch, said angrily: "That's ridiculous! You knew clearly that the queen was suffering from an emergency, and yet you brought someone in? Are you deliberately making the queen's discomfort worse?"
"Come here, drag her down and hit her with five boards! And this unfamiliar girl, search! See what she has on her! It's obvious that the lady just now is fine."
Several palace maids dragged people out. Ling Yutong looked at the people who were gradually approaching her, her brows furrowed. While she quickly told her identity, her brain was thinking rapidly about the symptoms of the queen in front of her.
"Meow!"
A cat's meow made Ling Yutong suddenly turn her head. When she saw a picture, her mind suddenly cleared up and she instantly understood the cause of the Queen's illness!
No wonder the queen in her previous life suddenly became weak and passed away within a few years. This is the reason for her love!
She quickly went to Snowball and gently grabbed its paw.
Sure enough, something she hadn't paid much attention to before was the key. There was an almost transparent fine powder hidden in Xueqiu's nails, and there was also a trace of blood, and the air was filled with a vague fragrance of oleander.
The suspicion in her heart was confirmed, and she said loudly: "I did not cause the Queen's illness to worsen! It was Snowball, and there was something in its nails!"
Seeing that the palace maids were trying to catch her and gag her, Ling Yutong was anxious and spoke even faster: "'May I ask if your underwear or curtains are scented with oleander? Throw them out quickly!"
"The mixture of aleaf and snowball's nails will produce poison! When I sent Snowball, Snowball caught someone, and the blood stains would further stimulate the poison to evaporate, directly turning into a highly poisonous substance!"
