Chapter 218 Knowing She Was Poisoned
Chapter 218 Knowing She Was Poisoned
Yingyi looked at An Qingqian's still pale face, her eyes full of heartache.
After covering An Qingqian with the quilt, Yingyi walked out of the inner room, went outside to feel the cold wind and woke up.
She didn't get any rest last night, and had to take care of An Qingqian for the whole day today. She did feel very tired, but she couldn't delegate this matter to others, she had to take care of it herself.
Feeling a little more alert, Yingyi was about to open the door and come in, when she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be someone in the yard.
Yingyi's expression became stern, and her eyes became sharp. She stared at the northwest corner of the yard and asked in a cold voice, "Who's there!"
At the same time, two people suddenly fell from the roof. They stood in front of Yingyi, drew their swords, and looked vigilantly at the black shadow coming towards them.
These two people were specially arranged by An Zhenyuan last night to be guards to protect An Qingqian.
He knew that Yingyi and Bo Yun were both strong in martial arts, but he was still worried, so he arranged for two people around him to come over.
"It's me." A shadow slowly walked out of the darkness, and it turned out to be the prince of the wise king, Shi Qiuwu.
He was wearing a dark black brocade robe and a fox fur cloak. He had an upright posture and a stern look.
Seeing that the person coming was Shi Qiuwu, Yingyi relaxed her brows and signaled the two to leave.
"It turns out to be His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. I greet you, the Crown Prince."
"Where's your lady?"
Shi Qiuwu originally came to An Zhenyuan to talk about his marriage with An Qingqian, but was turned away by An Zhenyuan.
He couldn't force his way in, so he could only leave here temporarily.
However, when he was about to leave, he subconsciously looked towards An Qingqian's yard, and found that there was a light on in An Qingqian's yard. He couldn't help but turn around and come over here.
"The young lady has rested." Yingyi was mindful not to let anyone know that An Qingqian was poisoned, so she used this sentence to fool Shi Qiuwu.
It’s not that Yingyi is a stickler for rules, but she knows that Shi Qiuwu is skilled in medicine.
A doctor is good at observing, smelling, asking and palpating. He only needs to stand outside and take a look at An Qingqian, and he will definitely find something unusual. Yingyi doesn't dare to take the risk.
Anyway, An Qingqian had indeed rested, so she was not lying.
"Can I go in and see her?" Shi Qiuwu was not giving up. He just wanted to see An Qingqian's face.
"This..." Yingyi wanted to refuse, but when she thought about how the young lady treated Shi Qiuwu very differently, she began to hesitate again.
"I'll just look at her from a distance and leave. I won't disturb her."
Looking at Yingyi's vigilant look and the two unfamiliar secret guards, Shi Qiuwu felt vaguely uneasy for some reason.
Yingyi didn't say anything. While she was thinking, Boyun walked in from outside, saw Shi Qiuwu, bowed to him, then walked in front of Yingyi and whispered something in her ear.
Yingyi looked at Poyun suspiciously, then agreed to let Shi Qiuwu go in.
Shi Qiuwu did not have too many concerns. He untied his cloak and put it outside. After rushing all the way here, the cloak was full of cold air. Shi Qiuwu knew that An Qingqian was resting, so he naturally did not have the heart to bring the cold air in and let An Qingqian catch a cold.
He walked straight into the inner room and saw An Qingqian lying there with a bad look on her face.
"What's wrong with her?" As a doctor, Shi Qiuwu could tell at a glance that something was wrong with An Qingqian, and asked in a low voice.
"Miss is tired and fell asleep." Yingyi still did not mention An Qingqian's poisoning.
Although he said this, his expression showed a bit of guilt.
Shi Qiuwu ignored Yingyi's words, walked up to An Qingqian, grabbed her wrist, and felt her pulse.
He found that her pulse was very weak and her internal energy was depleted, which clearly showed that she had been poisoned.
But, last night, when An Qingqian came to see him, he was fine. How come he suddenly became like this in just one day?
Could it be that after she came out of Prince Xian’s Palace yesterday, she was attacked by some expert?
Or did something happen during the day?
Shi Qiuwu carefully felt An Qingqian's pulse and confirmed that she was poisoned last night.
"What's going on? How did Qianqian get poisoned?" Shi Qiuwu looked at An Qingqian's two maids with a cold face.
No wonder he appeared in the yard and talked to Yingyi and the others just now, but An Qingqian didn't react at all. It turned out that she had become like this.
In the past, she was always very alert. If she heard any unusual movement outside, even if she didn't go out, she would never lie here and know nothing.
However, today he stood outside for a long time, but An Qingqian didn't react at all.
"Your Highness, I don't know either." Yingyi pursed her lips and shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.
Shi Qiuwu stared at Yingyi for two times and said nothing more, but he knew in his heart that this must be An Qingqian's order.
Her two maids listened to her very much. If there was no order from her, Yingyi would not be so tight-lipped.
While the two were talking, An Qingqian heard some noise and slowly opened her eyes, only to see Shi Qiuwu looking at her with a worried look on his face.
"Why are you here?" An Qingqian forced a smile.
"Qianqian, what's wrong with you?" Seeing An Qingqian wake up, Shi Qiuwu quickly sat down beside the bed, held her little hand, and looked at her with concern.
"Nothing." An Qingqian shook her head and struggled to get up.
Shi Qiuwu stood up and walked to the front, helped An Qingqian sit up and leaned her against him.
He pulled the quilt that had fallen off her body forward and covered her up to make sure she wouldn't catch a cold.
Although there was enough charcoal in the room, An Qingqian was too weak, so she had to be careful and must not be exposed to any cold.
"You've been poisoned." Seeing that An Qingqian refused to tell the truth, Shi Qiuwu frowned.
"Yingyi, Poyun, you go down first." An Qingqian sent the two out.
"Your body is very cold." Seeing that An Qingqian was unwilling to say, although Shi Qiuwu was very worried, he did not ask any more questions and just changed the subject.
"Fortunately, the room is quite warm." An Qingqian didn't feel cold. She leaned on Shi Qiuwu's chest and looked up. She could only see his smooth chin and jaw with clear lines.
Shi Qiuwu didn't say anything. He used his inner strength to warm his hands and then placed them on An Qingqian's face.
The warm and dry big hand touched An Qingqian's slightly cold face, and she trembled slightly uncontrollably.
"You still say it's not cold? Huh?" Feeling An Qingqian's trembling, Shi Qiuwu sighed lightly.
Then he let An Qingqian lean on him, exposing her back, and placed his palm on An Qingqian's back, slowly transmitting his gentle internal force.
"No, no need. I just need to rest for two days. You don't need to transfer your internal energy to me." Feeling the warmth on his back, An Qingqian wanted to dodge, but Shi Qiuwu held her body tightly.
