"Why is she here?" Concubine Yu Xian's expression turned cold as soon as she saw Su Zhirou.
The palace people on the side didn't even dare to make a sound.
Concubine Yuxian was feeling better today. With the news about her brother, her mood also improved. Thinking about Zhao Nianze being injured in the assassination, she planned to come over to see Zhao Nianze in person.
At the same time, it also provides some buffering for the stalemate in the relationship with Zhao Nianze during this period.
After all, as Jiang Nianjiao said, the one she can rely on in this harem in the future is Zhao Nianze.
Unexpectedly, she just arrived outside Yunfu Palace and saw Su Zhirou.
As soon as Concubine Yuxian thought about how Su Zhirou had caused Zhao Nianze, who was usually quite filial to her, to go against her everywhere, she began to feel unhappy again.
Others also knew about Concubine Yuxian's scruples, so no one dared to answer out loud, but Jiang Nianjiao seemed to know nothing about it.
She also braved the risk of stepping on thunder and said, "The blade used by the person who assassinated my cousin was stained with venom. It didn't show up for a while, but a few days later, the bandaged wound didn't heal but began to fester and fester. The hospital was helpless, so they called in Dr. Su came to treat my cousin."
"As for Dr. Su's treatment of patients, Miss Su always studies behind him and takes care of the patients at the same time."
Concubine Yuxian glanced at Jiang Nianjiao lightly: "You know this quite well."
Jiang Nianjiao just chuckled, "Although my cousin and I have no relationship for a long time, I am still a cousin after all. I can't just ignore it, right?"
After hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, the look of resentment on Concubine Yuxian's face softened a little.
She continued to ask, "If you treat a disease, you will cure it. Why do you slit your wrists?"
It was obvious that she had not heard the conversation between Su Zhirou and the little maid just now.
Jiang Nianjiao remembered that the system once told her that Su Zhirou was different from ordinary people. His father loved to study symptomatic treatments for various poisons.
Su Zhirou became the perfect experimenter. Perhaps because he had taken too many medicines, Su Zhirou was actually a medicine man, and his blood had the effect of stopping hundreds of poisons.
Of course, Su Zhirou and Zhao Nianze had kept this matter a secret, and even she wouldn't have known about it if the system hadn't accidentally mentioned it to her.
However, she could also understand Su Zhirou. After all, if the medicine person's identity was exposed, if she was not strong enough or had no one to protect her, she would probably be deprived of her qualifications as a human being.
So even though she knew that her aunt might not have any plans for Su Zhirou, Jiang Nianjiao still made it up and said, "I think she is probably developing some kind of detoxification pill. Maybe one of the medicinal ingredients needs the blood on her wrist."
After making up the nonsense, she sighed with emotion, "This Miss Su is quite willing to give up to my cousin. She just gave out so much blood at once, and I didn't even blink when I saw her. If I liked my cousin no matter how much I liked him, I wouldn't be able to do it." make it happen."
After all, Concubine Yuxian had been in the palace for a long time, and her view of things was obviously different from Jiang Nianjiao's.
She only frowned and said, "It's just a means to get a higher position. The lower-ranking people in the palace can't use any means to get a higher position."
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she just smiled and said, "How about I make a bet with my aunt?"
"I bet Miss Su doesn't intend to use her own blood to flatter my cousin."
When Concubine Yuxian heard this, she just said, "There is no need to gamble on this matter."
Jiang Nianjiao acted coquettishly next to Concubine Yuxian, "Aunt, let's just bet this time."
Concubine Yu Xian really dotes on Jiang Nianjiao. Although the two are not biological mother and daughter, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Concubine Yu Xian's love and pampering for Jiang Nianjiao exceeds that of ordinary mothers and daughters.
This kind of love was obviously mixed with other emotions. Unfortunately, Jiang Nianjiao didn't know the meaning behind such bottomless love.
Concubine Yuxian just smiled and said, "I really can't do anything to you,"
"Forget it, I will make this bet with you, but if you lose, don't blame your aunt for not reminding you."
Jiang Nianjiao smiled and said, "It's not necessarily who will lose. Aunt, if I win you, I can't be angry with my cousin anymore, and I can't be angry with myself because of Su Zhirou."
Knowing that Jiang Nianjiao was doing it for her own good, Concubine Yuxian only smiled and said, "I'm fine if I'm not angry."
Jiang Nianjiao asked Concubine Yuxian enthusiastically, "Auntie, if you win, what do you want Jiaojiao to do?"
"Auntie, there's nothing you want Jiaojiao to do, so don't let Jiaojiao do anything else." Concubine Yu Xian's answer was not surprising.
Jiang Nianjiao, however, refused to give in. "How can that be done? Wouldn't it be unfair to my aunt?"
"Auntie, I really can't think of anything right now." Concubine Yuxian begged for mercy.
Then she thought about it for a long time and then said to Jiang Nianjiao, "If that's not the case, don't talk back to your father about yesterday's marriage when you go back this time. He has great expectations for you and Nianze. If he knows about this marriage, , I’m afraid you will inevitably have complaints. As for convincing your father, you only need to leave it to your aunt."
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she couldn't help but feel even more moved.
Yesterday, my aunt took the initiative to propose a marriage, which was actually equivalent to resolving the pressure caused by the father's fate in the children's marriage.
It was actually beyond her expectation that her aunt could do this for her.
Now asking her aunt to come forward would not make her father hold a grudge, so Jiang Nianjiao only agreed not to confront her head-on, but Concubine Yuxian didn't have to worry about it, she would find a way to persuade Jiang Fang.
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao insisting, Concubine Yuxian didn't force herself.
Now that the two parties had entered into a bet, Concubine Yuxian naturally did not stop at the gate of the palace.
She only motioned to the little eunuch beside her to open the palace door completely, and then passed on the news of her arrival to Zhao Nianze.
Then they all stepped into the room.
When he arrived at Zhao Nianze's side, it was clear that Zhao Nianze's body was still not well. At this time, he was leaning on the bedside post and carefully flipping through the book in the light of the open window.
It wasn't until the two maids standing beside him knelt down to kowtow at Concubine Yuxian that Zhao Nianze realized that Concubine Yuxian was coming.
He looked surprised and said, "Concubine, why are you here?"
"I just came here to see you." Concubine Yu Xian's words were neither salty nor light.
However, Zhao Nianze looked flattered and saw that he was about to lift the thin quilt covering his body to salute Concubine Yuxian.
Seeing that his face was still pale and his hands were still bandaged, Concubine Yuxian couldn't bear it anymore and said, "There's no need to be polite."
Zhao Nianze, on the other hand, looked regretful, "I originally wanted to see myself in better health, so I went to see my mother, but instead, my mother and concubine came to see my son in person."
As if to comfort him, Concubine Yuxian only smiled and said, "When did you have headaches and fevers before, I didn't take care of you all night long? Why do you feel so restrained today when I don't just come over to see you?"
Zhao Nianze only followed Concubine Yuxian's words and said, "I am not restrained, but moved. After all, since I divided my palace in the old age, my mother and concubine rarely come to my son."
Concubine Yuxian heard this and said, "It's not that I don't want to come see you, it's just that the palace and you are too far apart, and my legs and feet are not as agile as before. How can I come over to see you often."
Apparently, Zhao Nianze's words of attachment to him had pleased Concubine Yuxian. At this time, Concubine Yuxian's face softened inexplicably when she mentioned the past.
And Zhao Nianze also wanted to cooperate with Concubine Yuxian, and for a while there was a real sense of motherly kindness and filial piety in the room.
But until Su Zhirou appeared holding antidote pills, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle again.
After meeting Concubine Yuxian, Su Zhirou appeared next to Zhao Nianze with a medicine bowl and said, "Your Highness, it's time to take medicine."
I don't know if it was to cover up her scars, but not long after she cut her wrists to bleed, she changed into a long gown with cuffs.
Unless you lift up the shirt, you won't be able to see the scars on the wrists.
Zhao Nianze took the pill, but did not take it directly. He sniffed the pill and looked a little embarrassed, "Xiaorou, did you add blood to the medicine again?"
Su Zhirou said calmly, "This detoxification pill needs blood as the medicine. Of course I have to add blood."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Nianze grabbed her left arm nervously, and then just lifted up her sleeve, "You used your own blood."
However, the hands that held up the sleeves were naturally white and had no scars at all.
He rolled up his right sleeve again in disbelief, but the same result was seen on the right side.
The other two people were even more surprised to see this scarless hand.
After all, the gash was quite large. Even if Huang Jing could stop the bleeding, he would never be able to stop all the bleeding so quickly without leaving any scars.
Seeing Zhao Nianze's confused expression, Su Zhirou only smiled calmly, "Don't worry, my blood is not added to this pill. It is just a pill. You can also use the blood of livestock."
It was true that no scars could be found, and seeing Su Zhirou's natural expression, Zhao Nianze said, "It's better that you didn't do such a stupid thing."
Zhao Nianze calmly took the antidote pills, and Su Zhirou supervised Zhao Nianze to take the pills before taking the initiative to leave the hall, leaving the remaining time to Concubine Yuxian.
Until she left, Concubine Yuxian looked at Su Zhirou with a complicated expression.
Although I don't know whether it was Su Zhirou's natural ability to heal scars, or she was covering it up.
In short, it seemed that she really didn't want Zhao Yanzhen to find out that she had used her own blood.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao undoubtedly won this bet.
But Concubine Yuxian obviously also wanted to find some evidence that Su Zhirou was the same as those women who wanted to climb up by any means.
She asked, "Does Doctor Su often use his own blood to heal your injuries?"
Zhao Nianze looked at Concubine Yuxian carefully and saw that there was no obvious displeasure on her face, so he chuckled, "There shouldn't be. It's just that when she was first rescued by her father and daughter, she had seen her use her own blood to make Yao Yin, Er Chen was frightened at the time, so he had to double check whether she had harmed herself."
Concubine Yuxian didn't say much after hearing this. The two parties only exchanged pleasantries for a while, and asked by the way if the person who assassinated Zhao Nianze that day had been traced. The investigation this time was fast. According to Zhao Nianze, the result of this investigation was that a guard who had been punished by him for dereliction of duty had a grudge, so he killed him.
Obviously no one believed this result, but the person behind the guard had obviously been prepared, and all his evidence that could prove that there was someone behind him had been removed.
Since everyone couldn't find any more clues, they had no choice but to let it go.
