The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses

Chapter 17: The Pretty Little Palace Maid and the Heirless King (17)

Yan Xue lay quietly on the couch, her face as pale as paper, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

Her lips were bloodless and trembling slightly, as if she was trying to endure great pain.

Xiahou Li looked at the girl anxiously, frowning, and asked softly, "Xue'er, what's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Tell me."

There was a hint of anxiety and heartache in his voice, as if Yan Xue's pain was also transmitted to him.

Yan Xue bit her lip and shook her head.

"Tongzi, put on the chicken blood. You don't need to use too much. Just a little bit will do."

The little bean rolled his eyes, "Okay, host."

Xiahou Li walked over anxiously, and Cui Xi beside him took a handkerchief and wiped Yan Xue's forehead.

"Ah, your majesty, there is blood."

When Xiahou Li saw that blood was seeping out from the hem of Xue'er's dress, there was nothing he couldn't understand at this moment. His Xue'er must have been poisoned.

He was furious, the veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he shouted, "Someone come, someone come."

The guard commander immediately knelt and stepped forward, "Your Majesty."

"No one outside is allowed to leave. Find out who poisoned Concubine De."

The commander of the guards was shocked and immediately took the order and left.

Xiahou Li looked at the girl curled up in pain on the bed. His heart was broken and he felt so distressed. He saw her body trembling constantly, as if she was in great pain.

Xiahou Li reached out and gently held the girl in his arms, "Xue'er, it's okay, it's definitely okay." It seemed like he was comforting Yan Xue, but more like comforting himself.

Yan Xue looked at Xiahou Li with mixed feelings. Was he worried about the child or about her?

In front of the palace.

The palace guards quickly surrounded the entire hall.

Yan Haochen stood in front of the hall and bowed to everyone, "Don't panic, everyone. Concubine De has been poisoned. I have been ordered to investigate. Please wait where you are."

When the ministers heard this, they were terrified and began to guess who had done it.

Taiwei Wu Chengqi glanced at his daughter above, and saw Concubine Wu nodded to her father.

General Wu gritted his teeth secretly, his daughter was too impatient.

Concubine Wu glanced at Mingshuang, and Mingshuang retreated immediately. However, as soon as she reached the back door of the hall, she was driven back by the guards. She looked at Concubine Wu and shook her head.

At this time, Eunuch De brought Doctor Zhang into the hall. Doctor Zhang walked forward in a hurry carrying the medicine box. He accidentally fell as he entered the hall.

Eunuch De took a look and said, "Hey, Doctor Zhang, please hurry up!!"

Doctor Zhang immediately got up and staggered into the back hall with Eunuch De.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here." Eunuch De shouted as he ran.

Xiahou Li heard the voice and wiped his red eyes, "Quick, show it to Concubine De."

As soon as he saw the person coming, he asked sternly, "Where is the head of Huayuan?"

When Eunuch De heard this, he knew something was wrong and said cautiously, "The head of Huayuan is not on duty today."

When Xiahou Li heard this, he pointed at Doctor Zhang and said, "You, go quickly, go and see Concubine De."

Doctor Zhang trotted forward and looked at the person on the bed. The two people's eyes met in the air, and Doctor Zhang felt at ease to feel the pulse.

After a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, the queen accidentally ate safflower, which caused the blood to flow backwards. There are signs of miscarriage, but fortunately the dosage is small. I will use gold needles to stop the bleeding immediately."

When Xiahou Li heard the word "miscarriage", he felt as if struck by lightning. He felt dizzy and his body swayed. He almost lost his balance. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his lips trembled slightly. He said quickly, "Okay! Quick! Quick!"

When Eunuch De saw His Majesty in such a condition, he also became anxious.

He hurried forward to support Xiahou Li and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Take care of yourself!"

At this time, Doctor Zhang said, "Your Majesty, please step aside."

"Oh, okay, I'll avoid it."

Xiahou Li was so flustered that he even forgot to call himself. He strode out of the back hall and came to the front hall.

In an instant, he regained his previous fierce momentum. He sat in the main seat, looking sharply at the people below, "Yan Haochen, how is the investigation going?"

"Your Majesty, the people in the imperial kitchen have been controlled, and the meals that Concubine De had today have been checked one by one. However, the last dish, the Tremella soup, is a bit strange and too sweet. I have already asked the imperial physician to check it out.

And just now this little palace maid tried to run away, I have already asked her to come back."

Xiahou Li's gaze shot straight in the direction Yan Haochen pointed, like a sharp arrow.

Mingshuang's body trembled, and she knelt down, trembling, and said, "I just wanted to go to the toilet, Your Majesty, please understand."

Xiahou Li looked at Concubine Wu and said with a half-smile, "Concubine, is that right?"

Concubine Wu knelt down calmly, "Your Majesty, please understand."

The inspection results came out quickly, and it was found that safflower was indeed added to the Tremella soup, and a lot of sucrose was also added to cover up the smell.

When Xiahou Li heard this, his face turned pale instantly. He was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, causing the teacup on the table to shake.

The veins on his forehead throbbed, "To murder the heir to the throne is the same as treason!"

The voice exploded in the court like thunder, and every word was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into everyone in the hall.

"Yan Haochen, check it for me, check it thoroughly."

Yan Haochen sensed Xiahou Li's anger, and he nodded solemnly, and answered loudly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will go all out to investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let any murderer go!"

Xiahou Li flicked his sleeves and walked into the back hall. Everyone felt that the feeling of being suffocated had finally disappeared.

At this time, Doctor Zhang had finished acupuncture.

Xiahou Li took two steps at a time and walked to the bed. "Xue'er, how are you?"

Yan Xue curled her lips and said weakly, "Much better, Your Majesty, don't worry."

Doctor Zhang beside him said, "Your Majesty, the bleeding has stopped and the child is fine, but she will need to be well taken care of in the future. I have written a prescription and will prepare the medicine for you to take later."

Xiahou Li was overjoyed, "Okay, okay, go quickly."

He gently held Xue'er in his arms, "Xue'er, it's okay, that's great."

Yan Xue choked up and said, "Ali, I'm scared. Who wants to harm me?"

"Be good, don't be afraid. I will find the person who hurt you and make sure she dies a miserable death."

Xiahou Li stared out the window fiercely. In fact, he already had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't know...
