After entering the palace that time, Lu Qing became uneasy for no reason.
The ominous premonition was quickly verified - Queen Xu repeatedly reported that Ning Huayue had entered the palace, and asked Ning Huayue to take the child with him on the grounds that Emperor Xihe missed Lan Geer.
And Ning Huayue, no matter how much Lu Qing begged, would not let go.
Both of them took advantage of Yan Fuguang's absence in the capital to hold Lan Ge'er in the palm of their hands, and then abandon Lu Qing.
Lu Qing had nightmares almost every night. She dreamed that Lan Geer made Empress Xu unhappy in the palace and was bullied by the servants in every possible way. She dreamed that she had to be separated from Lan Geer's mother and son...
She couldn't sleep well day after day, and Lu Qing was in a bad state.
She went to Aunt Zhong to ask for help, but there was nothing she could do.
"This slave knows that you are anxious, concubine, but the young master is always nice when he comes back. Even if this slave wants to do something, there is no legitimate reason."
Yes, Queen Xu is the mother of a country, Ning Huayue is the mistress of the palace, and is also Lan Geer's nominal aunt. As long as Lange'er is intact, no one else can criticize their behavior.
Lu Qing cried many times at night. She stayed beside Lan Geer's bed all night like a demon, very afraid that he would disappear from her eyes when she opened her eyes again.
Ji Qin and others were very worried about her condition and had to invite Dr. Jiang.
But when she saw Dr. Jiang for the first time, Lu Qing was not thinking about herself. She suspiciously asked Dr. Jiang to diagnose Lan Ge'er's pulse, making her worries about Lan Ge'er obvious.
"Doctor Jiang, help check on Brother Lan. He is not as lively as before, and he doesn't laugh as much. What's wrong with him? Is he sick?"
Lu Qing's heartache and worry almost overflowed from the bottom of her heart. Doctor Jiang was not in a good mood after hearing what happened in the house.
In accordance with Lu Qing's request, she first checked Lan Ge'er's pulse, but finally shook her head and said, "Everything is fine, young master, and he is healthy in all aspects."
Lu Qing immediately burst into tears. Her brother Lan cried incessantly when he was brought into the palace after leaving his mother for the first time. Later, he gradually stopped crying and became less well-behaved than before. Others can't see this, but Lu Qing can feel it.
However, Queen Xu and Ning Huayue were too determined. She refused to enter the palace on the grounds that Lange'er was ill. Lange'er was forced to take him to the palace to recuperate. It took several days before he returned to the palace and returned to Lu Qing.
She cried hard, and Brother Lan also started to cry when he heard the sound. The mother and son were very pitiful.
Doctor Jiang raised Lu Qing's wrist and gently placed her fingers on it: "Concubine, the young master is fine. You should take care of yourself."
How could Lu Qing be in the mood? She was immersed in the fear of someone snatching Lan Geer away from her eyes, and she didn't think of a countermeasure for a moment.
From late February to mid-March, Lu Qing almost couldn't bear the torture for more than twenty days.
Brother Lan is fine physically, but he is not in good spirits and has lost weight.
The mother and son were haggard, looking at each other with eyes filled with dependence.
"Yeah~"
It was the sound of her milk purring that almost made Lu Qing heartbroken.
She hugged Brother Lan tightly: "Good baby, mother will find a way, mother can't forgive you..."
Things took a turn for the better in the afternoon when they learned that Yan Fuguang would return to Beijing in three days.
After she got cold and frightened in the cold palace on New Year's Eve, Dr. Jiang gave her some medicine to nurse her body back to health.
Man Dong and Ji Qin remembered to boil medicine for her every day, and Lu Qing also took medicine regularly and was not lazy.
She clearly remembered that Dr. Jiang said she would not get pregnant while taking the medicine, but in the past two days she smelled a strange smell and became nauseated and retched. The symptoms were exactly the same as Huailan Ge's symptoms during a certain period of time in his childhood.
Lu Qing frowned, looking at the dark decoction and thinking wildly, with an expression of disbelief.
What a coincidence, Ning Huayue from Yihongyuan has almost the same expression as Lu Qing.
"Really useful?"
"It's useful. I heard from the little maid in Jinxi Courtyard that Concubine Wei has started to retching." Lan Xin said.
Ning Huayue's lips curled up into a sneer: "In two days, when she calls the doctor, she will be diagnosed with pregnancy."
Lan Xin was puzzled: "Why use such complicated methods? If you want to deal with her, isn't there a faster and more effective way?"
"What do you know?" Ning Huayue raised her orchid fingers, pinched a piece of pastry and put it into her mouth, "Her life is not worth anything, but my hands cannot get dirty. I want her to die in a legitimate way."
Lan Xin's eyes lit up: "You mean to let her have a false pregnancy first, and then use it to punish her later?"
Ning Huayue hummed, empress Xu thought of this method.
"But the crime of false pregnancy does not lead to death..."
"We don't need to worry about this."
Because Queen Xu will take care of everything in the process, there are many ways inside, and there are many people who died "accidentally".
Not only that, she also chose the time and place, and when Yan Fuguang returned to Beijing and entered the palace for the banquet, she convicted Lu Qing in front of everyone.
When the time comes, Yan Fuguang won't be able to defend a concubine who made a mistake in front of all the civil and military officials, and Lu Qing will definitely die.
Lan Xin was extremely excited and wished that day would come earlier.
A huge conspiracy was waiting for Lu Qing, and she found Dr. Jiang in doubt.
Ning Huayue underestimated Lu Qing's intelligence and caution.
"Can you help me check if the medicine is wrong?" Lu Qing pushed the medicine bowl over.
Doctor Jiang lowered her head and got closer to smell it.
After a while, she said doubtfully: "It's still the same medicine, but the medicinal materials inside seem to be wrong and have a bit of a sour taste."
Lu Qing looked solemn and stretched out her wrist: "Am I pregnant? Please help me check my pulse."
Doctor Jiang's expression was serious, and she felt Lu Qing's pulse attentively, and finally came to the conclusion: "There is something wrong with the medicine."
Before Lu Qing asked, Dr. Jiang signaled Lu Qing to drive everyone out of the room.
After Lu Qing complied, she slowly said: "You are not pregnant, but someone has tampered with your medicine to make you have pregnancy symptoms."
Lu Qing nodded slowly: "Is it poison?"
"It's not poison." Doctor Jiang was also very surprised by this. She couldn't imagine why that person would do this.
Lu Qing remained calm and asked Dr. Jiang to go back first.
She called Ji Qin and told her the situation, and said: "There is someone betraying someone in Jinjiyuan. They should be those who have access to my medicine. You go and check it out and catch the person as soon as possible."
Ji Qin was careful not to alert the snake, but she seemed to have unintentionally said distressed in front of several maids: "Alas... Concubine is not in good health, and the prescription needs to be changed."
After saying this, she asked Wu Shuang to keep an eye on the suspects. That night, she caught a sneaky little maid trying to dig up the medicine residue in the west corner.
"Who asked you to make it?" Lu Qing asked in a deep voice, "You added the extra two herbs, right?"
The little maid vowed not to speak at first, but later she couldn't resist the fear of death under the gleaming dagger in Lu Qing's hand, and told Lan Xin the whole process of finding her one by one.
Lu Qing clenched the dagger so hard that her knuckles turned white.
