Chapter 408: Is there any movement in your stomach?
Chapter 408: Is there any movement in your stomach?
The hall was too cold and gloomy, and there was nowhere to sit. Fortunately, there was a round stone table in the courtyard that hadn't been moved away. Although it was covered with weeds and dust, it could still be sat on after cleaning it up.
Concubine Qing completely mistook Baili Moqing for the Second Prince Baili Mo Ran. She kept hugging his arm, staring at him infatuatedly, giggling and crying from time to time.
Shu He took her pulse.
Mental disorder is caused by stimulation and long-term depression.
In addition to mental problems, there are also many physical problems.
Although no one abused him, his body was far from healthy.
Malnutrition aside, every organ in her body was failing. The decline in function had left her face sallow and blotchy, giving her an unspeakably sickly appearance.
Not only that, she also has some poison hidden in her body.
"Has Concubine Qing ever offended anyone before?"
"Why do you say that?" Baili Moqing asked her with a frown, with some speculation in his eyes.
She told him all the details about Concubine Qing.
"The poison in her body has been dormant for at least three years."
"Although this poison won't kill her, it will cause her to experience the agony of a thousand ants gnawing at her heart every ten days."
"It's not painful, it's not itchy, but it makes me want to live but I can't, and I want to die but I can't."
What a sinister and vicious method!
Not to kill her, but to make her suffer for many years.
How much hatred and resentment does this have to be?!
After hearing this, Baili Moqing's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. "Can it detoxify you?"
Shu He nodded. "It can be cured, but her living environment is too harsh. Besides the poison, the functions of her internal organs are also declining. If I don't restore her five internal organs first, I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand the intensity of the detoxification."
Baili Moqing understood what she meant, and immediately held Concubine Qing's hand, saying softly, "Mother, I have some things to take care of. Can you wait here for me for a while?"
Concubine Qing didn't understand what he said and just looked at him blankly. Seeing that he was about to leave, she used both hands to pull him tightly.
"Ran'er won't leave, Ran'er won't leave!"
"If you want to leave, take your mother with you!"
"I don't want to be separated from you! Mother never wants to be separated from you again! Will you take Mother with you?"
Baili Moqing's eyes were filled with mist, his lips were pressed into a straight line, and his body was trembling slightly.
Shu He couldn't help but feel sad, so he stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Qing's hand to divert her attention.
She smiled and called her, "Mother, do you recognize me?"
The name "Mother Concubine" indeed attracted Concubine Qing's attention.
"I'm Ah He, the wife you chose for the Second Prince. Remember?"
Concubine Qing's eyes became hazy. She let go of Baili Moqing's arm in a daze and turned to pull her hand.
"Ah He?"
Shu He responded, "Yes, it's me."
"Ran'er's daughter-in-law?"
"Yeah, it's me!"
Shu He agreed with her and looked at Baili Moqing, asking him to make arrangements quickly.
Seeing this, he looked at her deeply, with complicated emotions in his eyes.
After Baili Moqing left, Concubine Qing seemed to have adapted to Shu He's identity and asked affectionately, "Ah He, you and Ran'er have been married for so long, is there any movement in your pregnancy?"
Shu He: “…”
Isn't Concubine Qing too straightforward?!
She shook her head awkwardly. "It's still a short time before we get married, and there's no news yet. Don't worry, mother. As soon as there's good news, Ah He will tell you right away!"
A gentle smile appeared on Concubine Qing's face, and she became dignified in an instant, as if she really had some of the aura of a royal concubine.
She smiled faintly, "Okay, okay! Then mother will wait for your good news!"
Shu He nodded and smiled, looking shy.
Concubine Qing's eyes seemed to have regained some clarity as she said, "The Emperor praised Ran'er's handling of state affairs yesterday and said that all the ministers in the court were submitting memorials, requesting that the position of Crown Prince be decided as soon as possible."
"Ah He, you are so lucky. You are going to be the Crown Princess as soon as you get married!"
"Don't worry, even if Ran'er becomes the crown prince in the future, your mother will never let him bully you!"
Shu He didn't say anything, but just responded softly, trying his best to prevent her from returning to her crazy state.
She can recognize that she is the best, and the acupuncture will go more smoothly.
About half an hour later, Baili Moqing finally came back.
He also brought many maids and eunuchs to clean Xingqing Palace.
He looked very bad, and the eunuchs and palace maids also looked very pale, probably because they had been punished.
After all, she still holds the position of a concubine. As long as the emperor does not issue an order to deprive her of her rights and benefits, there should not be such a miserable situation in Concubine Qing’s palace!
This can only mean one thing, that someone has taken advantage of the profits and benefits of Xingqing Palace.
Judging from Baili Moqing's gloomy look, it seemed that he had just dealt with someone.
Unexpectedly, Shu He saw a familiar figure among the group of palace maids who were cleaning.
The wound on her head had not been bandaged yet, but medicine had been applied. The bleeding had stopped and she looked much better.
While she was working, her eyes were looking at Shu He. Seeing that she had noticed her, she nodded gratefully to Shu He.
Shu He looked at Baili Moqing, with a slightly complicated emotion in his heart.
He finally took action...
"Ah! No! Don't kill my Ran'er!!"
"Ran'er, run!"
"Ran'er, run!!"
Suddenly, Concubine Qing, whose emotions had been calming down, started to go crazy again, shouting and yelling, and even forgot about Shu He, who was very happy and had just talked to her.
She treated her like an enemy and hit her hard.
He hammered her while cursing, "You bitch! You want to kill my son! I'll fight you!"
Upon seeing this, Baili Moqing's expression changed and he quickly grabbed Concubine Qing's hands, "Mother! Mother! It's me! I'm Ran'er!"
But Concubine Qing was completely unconscious at this time. She couldn't even recognize Baili Moqing and was completely insane.
Shu He had no choice but to use silver needles to make her fall into a coma.
Before losing consciousness, Concubine Qing stared at Baili Moqing blankly, with sadness and despair in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, why are you..."
