C51 Suspicion

A few discussions could be heard from outside the door, "Third Miss is so ugly now." "Yeah, yeah, I don't even know if she can be better..."

Xiangyi went out with her hands on her hips and scolded, "Which one of you will talk nonsense again? Take care of your skin!"

Xiangyi was originally Mrs Miao's person and she had also received Mrs Miao's orders. Everyone only looked at each other and did not dare to say anything.

"Big Sister is really good. It turns out that when Fourth Sister was sick, Third Sister often went to accompany her. Today Third Sister was sick and Fourth Sister invited the Imperial Physician specially sent by the Palace to diagnose and treat Third Sister." Lau Fenglan pursed her lips and comforted by the side.

Mistress Ling wiped her tears and got angry in her heart. She looked at Mu Ruqing with a face full of disdain, "What are you pretending for! Fake compassion! Now that my daughter is like this, didn't she obey Fourth Miss's wishes?"

"Mistress Ling, what do you mean by that?" Mu Ruqing's face froze and she asked angrily," Xuan'er often goes to your place. How did she become like this in just a few days? I have to make people suspect!"

"Mistress Ling! It was true that her elder sister went to my place with evidence, but I also used the food that she used. I also ate the food that she ate. Why am I fine? "

"Then I don't know. In the food and tea! You know that it's poisonous, but Xuan Er doesn't know!" The more Mistress Ling spoke, the angrier she became, and the louder her voice became.

"Shut up! Qing and Xuan'er are good friends, and now she even invited the Imperial Physician over. Putting aside the two of them eating and using the same thing, why did Qing harm Xuan'er?" Mrs Miao naturally could not watch her own daughter being humiliated and take out the imposing manner of a Mistress.

Mistress Ling only looked at Mu Ruqing hatefully. In her heart, she only thought that Mu Ruxuan being like this was her fault. "Elder sister, I only ask you. Do you suspect me?" Mu Ruqing ignored Mistress Ling and asked sincerely.

"I... I..." Mu Ruxuan hesitated and her eyes drifted.

"Imperial Physician Gu is here!" A message came in from outside. Mu Ruqing saw her hesitant look and felt a little sad. She took a few steps back and settled her mind. "Let Imperial Physician Gu take a look at elder sister first. We will talk about this in the future."

"Younger sister..." Mu Ruxuan knew that she was angry and called softly. However, she did not completely believe her in her heart.

Imperial Physician Gu took her pulse and looked at Mu Ruxuan's injuries. After thinking for a moment, he frowned and said, "She was indeed poisoned and this medicine is insidious. At the beginning, nothing will happen. The more you come into contact with it later, the more you will be like young miss when you reach the limit."

"Imperial Physician Gu, could it be cured?" Mu Ruqing asked first.

"Yes, but it is a little complicated. Also, you can't come into contact with it again during the treatment. Otherwise, this old man won't be able to do anything about it." Imperial Physician Gu stroked his beard and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Imperial Physician, tell me. I will definitely do as you say." Mu Ruxuan was naturally the most anxious. Knowing that it would still be alright, her tone also eased a little. She moved towards the front of the bed and listened attentively.

"I need to cooperate with the prescription and adjust it. I also need aromas..." Imperial Physician Gu said in detail. Other than Mu Ruxuan and Mistress Ling, Mu Ruqing also remembered it well.

Mistress Ling looked at the stunned Mu Ruqing and shook her handkerchief as she said with a grudge, "What is it? Fourth Miss heard that it can cure disappointment?"

"Mistress Ling! Did I harm Eldest Sister? I know myself. Why would I want to harm her? And why did you invite Imperial Physician Gu over?! If it's just as you said, Eldest Sister often comes to my place. If I harm her, then wouldn't I be suspected?"

"This is what makes you, Fourth Miss, so brilliant. You poisoned the food you ate. If something happened to Xuan'er and you are fine, no one will suspect you. And now, you have invited an Imperial Physician to give others the false impression that you are a good sister. Who would suspect you? " Mistress Ling also went crazy and insisted that it was Mu Ruqing. It was no wonder. Other than going to Mu Ruqing's place, Mu Ruxuan had never been to other places. Now that something had happened, she would naturally suspect Mu Ruqing.

"Ling Rou! Don't push your luck! Now that prime minister was not in the manor, he would wait for prime minister to return. If you frame Qing again... I will lock you up!" Mrs Miao was also anxious and looked at her angrily. She directly called out Mistress Ling's name. She went up and held Mu Ruqing's hand to pat her to comfort her.

"Aunt, I believe that sister will not harm me." Mu Ruxuan's choking voice came out of the curtain weakly. Although she said so, she also felt heartache in her heart. She sat on the bed and pulled her, "Xuan'er, you know a person's face but you don't know your heart!"

"Big sister, you should take good care of it. I will definitely investigate this matter!" Mu Ruqing said firmly and then left with Mrs Miao.

"Qing, do you have any clues?" Mrs Miao was slightly worried. She knew that her daughter would definitely not harm others.

"Mother, daughter doesn't know. The people in the courtyard are also mother's. Of course I can trust them." Mu Ruqing thought hard and could not understand. She had thought about whether it was someone from Mu Ruxuan's room. But just now, Mistress Ling insisted that it was her. Mistress Ling treated the people in the room. She definitely had the confidence to trust him.

"Qing, you have just recovered from the cold. Don't hurt your mind like this. I will investigate this matter." Mrs Miao saw that her face was pale and started to worry. She touched her face and with a face full of love, she said as she sent her back to the courtyard.

"Lingyue, call the servant girl that you have been serving recently. I want to interrogate them!" Mu Ruqing said fiercely.

"Yes!"

Mu Ruqing busied the entire afternoon and everyone in the courtyard excluded suspicion. She went to check the ingredients, but there was no problem. Her heart became even more puzzled, and her head started to hurt again. Mu Ruqing pinched her head with a worried look. If she could not find the person, even if she did not say it on the surface, it would also spread to the public.

In the afternoon, Mu Po came back from the lower court. Knowing that Mu Ruxuan had gone to see her beforehand, Mu Po was also angry. He asked Mrs Miao to investigate this matter thoroughly. When she found out, she would beat him out of the house.

Mu Ruqing went over in the evening and met Imperial Physician Gu who went out. She stopped him and said with a pleading face, "Imperial Physician, I know that the Imperial Physician is busy. I request that you take some time every day to take a look at my sister. I wonder if it is possible?"

"You little girl, even if you did not say that I would come, you are not the only one who is worried about this matter." Imperial Physician Gu stroked his beard and smiled lovingly.

"Thank you, Imperial Physician. Take care." Mu Ruqing's mood eased up a little. It was not just me? That was Yu Longchen. He knew that if he could not treat Mu Ruxuan well, he would become the target of everyone.

When Mu Ruqing entered, Mistress Ling naturally guarded Mu Ruxuan. When she saw her, she had an unkind expression, "Fourth Miss, you have come very frequently."

"Mistress Ling, no matter how you look at me, a clear person will naturally be clear." Mu Ruqing's face was serious as she stared straight into her eyes. "Imperial Physician Gu said that if you come into contact with poison during treatment, now, Aunt and Mother should have found the real culprit. If not, Sister's face will be beyond saving! "

Mistress Ling was previously overwhelmed by anger but after thinking about it carefully, Mu Ruqing indeed would not harm Xuan Er like this.

" Aunt, do all the people in your courtyard really believe? " Mu Ruqing looked at servant girl outside the door and asked with a frown.

"Of course!" Mistress Ling had a calm expression. Although she believed her a little, her tone was still disdainful.

"Now that I have no clue, Aunt has changed the bedsheets of Elder Sister. Don't take anything from outside the residence. You have to be extremely careful when eating!"

"I have already settled everything else, but why do I need to change the bedsheets?"

"I still don't know how Elder Sister has been poisoned, so I naturally have to be careful of everything." Mu Ruqing looked around the room, "Aunt, be careful these few days, I will be leaving first."

Mistress Ling did not return to her. She just waited for her to leave and immediately sent someone to change the bed sheets.

"Miss, you started coughing again today. Quickly go and rest." Xiangyi went up to support her with a face full of heartache.

"Okay." Mu Ruqing replied faintly and was still thinking about how she was poisoned in her heart.

In the middle of the night, Yu Longchen came. He looked at Mu Ruqing's serene face and could not bear to disturb her. He looked at her for a moment and then left.
