Chapter 163 Suspicion of going astray
Chapter 163 Suspicion of going astray
Qiwu had just watched the video in his cousin's room in the morning, and now he saw her in the bushes.
The cousin hid in the bushes until everyone was far away, then she started to act like a cousin again. She walked very gracefully, and even if you didn't look at her face, you could tell she was a great beauty just by looking at her back.
Qi Wu curiously stepped on the flying skateboard and watched her sneak out of the mansion when Menzi was not paying attention.
He hired a carriage and headed straight to the largest hospital in the capital.
She did not take off her veil, but held out her hand for the doctor to examine.
The doctor, who was nearly fifty years old, frowned, took out a handkerchief, covered the cousin's hand with it and felt her pulse.
"The pulse is slippery and the liver wind is moving inside. It's not serious. I can't tell what it is. It's just fear.
You have peeling skin and need a tongue diagnosis. Is that convenient?"
The cousin hesitated for a moment, then lifted her veil, revealing only her mouth.
The lower half of his face was covered in mottled yellow peeling skin, which was quite horrible.
After the doctor examined the patient's tongue, he shook his head and lowered his head to write a prescription.
"Prescribe some antidote. It's probably poisoned. It may not be the right medicine for the condition. It would be best if we could find out what the poison is."
My cousin clenched her fists, picked up the medicine bag, and went to another clinic.
Another clinic gave the same answer, and only prescribed external and internal medicines, and various detoxifying drugs to be taken back.
The cousin walked out of the clinic, staggering, holding the medicine in one hand and leaning against the wall with the other, and slowly walked towards the carriage.
Qiwu squatted on the carriage outside the clinic, trying to find out where his cousin was.
My cousin started leaning against the window in a daze as soon as she got into the carriage.
Qiwu and Tutu discussed quietly, "Hey? It looks pretty miserable. Did I go too far? The skin peels during the day and the nightmares at night."
Tutu still thought she was not miserable enough, "Didn't you only feed her three Huangpidan? She has only been peeling for three months. What's that?
She was an accomplice before and almost killed you. You didn't get killed because you had the marrow cleansing pill to detoxify. If not, how miserable would you be now? Don't sympathize with her, she deserves it.
That is to say, I don’t have much medicine left, otherwise she would have been shedding skin for a whole year.”
Qi Wu made up his mind, "You are right, I have to pay my debts."
When they reached the street of the Marquis's Mansion, the cousin came down early, sent the carriage away, and hid at the door, hoping to sneak in when the doorman was distracted.
"Why are you at the door? Why didn't you bring anyone with you when you went out?"
The cousin turned around so quickly that she dropped the herbs in her hand.
It turned out to be the head guard. He was squatting on the edge of the wall, looking down at her.
"You're holding a medicine bag. What's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
My cousin was a little upset, and it felt like something was blocking her throat.
"I~"
Just as she was about to speak, someone came over from the alley, and the cousin quickly shut up.
After the people passed, the head guard jumped down from the wall and went to the gate to talk to the doorman, attracting the doorman's attention.
The cousin took the opportunity to sneak into the mansion and waited for her to return to her boudoir.
The head of the guards came in shortly afterwards. "Cousin, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
My cousin choked up and showed the head guard her hands. Her hands, which were originally delicate and soft, had now turned yellow and had mottled peeling skin.
The head of the guards felt very distressed, "I haven't seen you for just a few days, what's going on? Is it just on your hand?"
My cousin didn't take off her veil and sobbed, "It's all over my body. The doctor said it was poisoned and he could only use some conventional detoxifying medicine."
The head guard frowned, "Poisoned? Who could have poisoned her? The old lady is crazy, it's impossible.
Although the Crown Prince's wife is a invisible person in the mansion, is it possible that she poisoned you?
Or is it that the men in those families don't like you and want to ruin your appearance?"
The cousin pulled her hand back and said, "The Crown Prince's wife's yard is like a sieve. How can she have the hands to do this?
As for the food, she couldn't interfere because your people were watching over it in the kitchen.
As for supplies, they were all screened and no problems were found."
The head guard looked at the agate ring on his hand.
"Is there something wrong with the jewelry we got from the warehouse this time?"
The cousin folded her hands and sighed, "Then you wore it too, cousin, what's your reaction?"
The head guard took off the ring, put it on the table, and shook his head.
"No, it's not peeling. I've been having restless sleep these past few days, having nightmares, and feeling restless.
It turns out that it was you who was responsible. This must be God reminding me, but I was too slow to react. It’s all my fault. If I had checked it earlier, maybe you could have gotten away with it.”
Qi Wu was listening on the side. The powder of Huanmeng Dan was for external use, but it seemed that the effect was not enough. The chief guard actually regarded it as a precognitive dream.
This is such a useful pill, and Tutu has run out of stock. I must buy a few thousand pills next time they are available.
The head of the guards was so distressed by the miserable state of his cousin that he slapped the table with his hand, breaking the agate ring on the table.
As a result, the two of them were in a panic and began to look for something to stop the guard's bleeding.
The cousin started biting her finger again, and ended up biting off a layer of skin, which frightened her. "Look, the Crown Prince's wife's thing is only shiny on the surface, so it must have been cracked from the beginning.
She is probably the weakest in this mansion, don't worry about her, think about others."
The head guard stuffed a handkerchief into her hand to wrap up the scraps of skin that kept falling off while she was talking. "Look, is it possible that the concubines in the Marquis's mansion
Also, is there any possibility of helping the fool who keeps coming to you lately?
I will try to find a better doctor. You find out who did it, and I will try to find an antidote."
The two people's thoughts became more and more biased, and they began to list the people they had offended one by one.
Although Qiwu was happy that he was not identified as the one who poisoned the food,
The fragile jadeite that had been processed was actually considered as a proof of the surface brightness of her life.
But their comments about her really looked down on her no matter how you listened to them.
Tutu was watching it with her, laughing so hard that he fell backwards.
"Hahahaha, they suspected no one but you. They even thought of the young master. They didn't think you were capable of poisoning them, hahaha."
Qi Wu curled his lips, "Oh, my cousin is just a by-product. If she can't guess, I don't have to deal with her anymore. It's easy. I'm busy."
Qiwu does have things to do.
Her storehouse was empty. The tribe members had received the news. It was said that the people sent by the tribe leader to deliver the New Year gifts and the share of the property were already on their way.
It seems that the clan is not seriously injured and there is still money to manage the Marquis's Mansion.
Last time, she emptied the warehouses of several people in the clan, but the clan’s fixed assets such as shops and farms could not be moved.
With this kind of egg-laying chicken, even if the accumulation of wealth is no longer possible, the tribe's life will slowly improve.
Qiwu regretted that the fire he lit last time was not big enough to burn down the entire mansion, which would have made it easier for them to lose their home base.
