I am Yuan Niaoniao

Chapter 51 Allergies

After reading Yuan Niao Niao's letter, she gently took the envelope in her hand, her eyes flashing with a barely perceptible light. However, the next moment, she lit the letter without hesitation, watching the flames gradually devour the paper, and finally turned into ashes. The content of the letter was to let herself cause trouble for Han Junwu Zhen Luoyi, and Qi Zhiying's mouth curled up slightly. It happened that she had been patient with Zhen Luoyi for a long time, and that Qin Shuangshuang made her even more dissatisfied. A small noble, although she entered the palace earlier than herself, where does the confidence come from to look down on others? No matter how poor my Qi family is, you can't bully me.

"Xiaoqing," Qi Zhiying tidied her appearance in front of the mirror.

"Empress Li, what's wrong?" Xiaoqing pushed the door open when she heard the voice.

"Let's go out and get some fresh air." The emperor will still stay at Zhen Rui's place today, so Qin Shuangshuang must be dissatisfied. As both are noble ladies, Zhen Rui has served him in bed more times than she does, no matter how unfavored she is. What a fool she is, targeting Zhen Rui. She should know that she is from the queen's family because of her surname Zhen. She should vent her anger in the imperial garden now.

As expected, she was wearing a large peony green gauze and blue silk, a long skirt with daffodil flowers and green leaves, and a thin green gauze with gold threads. Her hair was drooping and studded with pearls and jade hairpins. She looked like a lotus emerging from the water. Who else could this be but Qin Shuangshuang? It was a pity that such a beautiful face had a pig-like brain.

"You damned dogs! I treat you well on weekdays, why can't you even take care of my favorite peonies? How come all the peonies in this garden are gone? Tell me! Tell me now!" Qin Shuangshuang was so angry that her face turned blue. She put her hands on her hips, her beautiful eyes wide open, and glared at the trembling slaves who were kneeling in a row in front of her. Her cherry lips were tightly pursed, showing her extreme anger and dissatisfaction.

"Reporting to your Excellency, when we... came here in the morning, we found that all the peonies were gone..." said a palace maid in a trembling voice.

"A bunch of trash! Go find it quickly! If you can't find it, don't come back!" Qin Shuangshuang roared.

At this time, Qi Zhiying slowly walked over and said with a smile: "Hey, what's wrong? You are so angry."

When Qin Shuangshuang saw Qi Zhiying, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, "Humph!"

Qi Zhiying pretended to be innocent, "But it's a pity that this most precious peony flower is gone. Maybe it was poached by a favored empress in the palace who happened to like peonies."

Qin Shuangshuang gritted her teeth and said, "Stop gloating here!" Is Qi Zhiying worthy of strolling around in front of her?

"Not to mention that you are rude to me, I can punish you for your disrespect," Qi Zhiying put her hand on Xiaoqing's hand and looked at Qin Shuangshuang like a concubine.

"You!" It was true. Qi Zhiying had a higher status than himself, but he often bullied her because he had no family support. If he really told the emperor about this, he would be the one who would suffer. However, he still didn't want to swallow this anger. Qin Shuangshuang was so angry that she turned her back and ignored Qi Zhiying.

Qi Zhiying was too lazy to argue with her. After all, people who showed their emotions on their faces were not suitable to live in this cannibalistic palace. "Xiaoqing, you said that this jade lilac is so beautiful, but it's a pity that it is not suitable to be displayed in the palace for appreciation. It is suitable to grow freely outdoors."

"My queen, why is this happening?" Xiaoqing asked in confusion.

"It's because this lilac is very likely to cause allergies. If you accidentally inhale too much pollen, it can be fatal. I really like it, it's such a pity." Qi Zhiying said with a little regret.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Qin Shuangshuang listened to every word without missing a single word, and glanced at Yu Dingxiang a few times as if unintentionally.

"Forget it. It's useless to like it. I heard that Concubine Zhen also likes it. It seems that my taste is similar to hers." Qi Zhiying touched the jade lilac with regret, and then left reluctantly, "Let's go. I want to go to the Wanli Pond. Anyway, the emperor went to Concubine Zhen's place today, so I have nothing to do."

"Yes, your majesty." Xiaoqing helped Zhen Luoyi leave.

After Qi Zhiying left, Qin Shuangshuang ordered people to move the jade lilac trees to her palace. "Cui'er, move all the jade lilac trees back to the palace."

"Yes, my lady." Cui'er immediately took the eunuchs and brought the plates of jade cloves back to the palace. Qi Zhiying, who was hiding not far away, was watching this scene secretly, with a slight smile on her face. She ordered Xiaoqing to go to the Imperial Hospital. There were people from the Prince of Chen there, and as long as they set a trap appropriately, Qin Shuangshuang would definitely fall for it, and then she would definitely need an imperial physician.

Xiaoqing trotted all the way to the Imperial Hospital and asked, "Excuse me, is Imperial Doctor Li here?"

"Yes, may I ask which person in the palace is looking for Imperial Physician Li?" asked a young attendant.

"I'm Xiaoqing, the maidservant of Concubine Li. Concubine Li is feeling unwell right now. Please ask Imperial Doctor Li to come and take a look."

"Okay, Miss Xiaoqing, please wait a moment." The little attendant ran into the inner room and conveyed the message to Doctor Li.

After a while, Doctor Li came out with a medicine box and respectfully asked Xiaoqing, "Miss Xiaoqing, please lead the way."

"Okay, please ask Doctor Li to follow me."

..............

Seeing Doctor Li coming, Qi Zhiying immediately made an excuse that she was not feeling well, and deliberately sent the maid away, leaving only Xiaoqing. After Doctor Li felt her pulse, she leaned in and said in a low voice: "Doctor Li........."

Doctor Li nodded without changing his expression after hearing this, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty may have caught a cold. Put on some more clothes. I will prescribe some tonic medicine to improve your physical condition."

"Thank you for your help. Xiaoqing, send Doctor Li away." Qi Zhiying withdrew her hand and said to Xiaoqing.

"Doctor Li, please come in." Xiaoqing opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.

Just after coming out of Qi Zhiying's magnificent palace, Doctor Li took a detour to the road that must pass through Qin Shuangshuang's Shuangyue Palace.

"Cui'er, go get me a doctor right away." Qin Shuangshuang thought about it and felt that if she relied on herself, she might not be able to use the Jade Clove properly.

"Yes, my Lord." Cui Er hurried out of Shuangyue Palace and bumped into Doctor Li. "Ouch!" Cui Er fell to the ground.

"Aren't you Cui'er? Why are you running so fast? Fortunately you bumped into me. If you had bumped into someone else, you would have been punished." Doctor Li stepped forward and helped Cui'er up.

"It's you! Doctor Li, it's just right, the noble asked me to come out to find the doctor." Cui Er and Doctor Li were old acquaintances. Every time she was beaten by Qin Shuangshuang, Doctor Li kindly gave her some ointment to heal her wounds.

"Okay. Slow down." Doctor Li said gently as he followed Cui'er into Shuangyue Palace.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, is here." Cui'er ran towards the ceremony in a hurry.

"Li Zilie from the Imperial Hospital pays his respects to Concubine Qin." Doctor Li bowed respectfully to Qin Shuangshuang.

"Are you Doctor Li?" Qin Shuangshuang looked Li Zili up and down before she spoke slowly, "Cui'er, please make me a pot of tea."

"Yes, my lord." Cui'er immediately turned around and ran to the kitchen.

"I don't know what's wrong with Concubine Qin. Let me take your pulse first." Li Zilie skillfully opened the medicine box and placed the chopping board and hand pad for taking the pulse in front of Qin Shuangshuang.

"My lady, I just feel a little stuffy in my chest." After saying that, she stood up and unbuttoned her dress.

Li Zili was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and covered his face with his hands: "My Lady, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Qin Shuangshuang tore her dress into a mess, then walked to the door and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, if I shout now, you will be sentenced to death for the entire clan!"

"Your Excellency, I can't do that. Your Excellency, I don't know how I have offended you. I would like to apologize to you here. Please have mercy on me." Li Zilie quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Hahahaha," Qin Shuangshuang laughed loudly. She approached Li Zili, who was kneeling on the ground, with her clothes in disarray, and looked down at him. "As long as you do something small for me, I will forgive you this time."

Li Zili raised his head with difficulty after hearing this, and spoke after a while: "I wonder what you need me to do?"

"It's very simple," Qin Shuangshuang pointed to the lilac in the yard, "I want you to help me make powder from its stamens."

Li Zili looked at Yu Dingxiang with embarrassment, then looked at Qin Shuangshuang before lowering his head and saying, "I can do it."

"Hahaha, Doctor Li is a smart man. Send him to my palace the day after tomorrow." Qin Shuangshuang then tidied her clothes and sat down.

Cui'er just brought the tea back and said, "My lord, please have some tea." She poured a cup of tea in front of Qin Shuangshuang and then stood aside.

"Cui'er, cut all the lilac flowers and give them to Doctor Li." Qin Shuangshuang took a sip of tea, put down the cup with satisfaction and said.

"Yes," although Cui'er didn't understand, she quickly went forward to cut all the flowers, put them in a box and handed it to Li Zili.

Li Zili's face turned pale and blue as he took the box handed to him by Cui'er, then he turned around and left quickly.

Cui Er felt something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything at the moment. After all, Qin Shuangshuang's mood had just improved, so she didn't dare to provoke her again, or else she would suffer. After Li Zili left, Qin Shuangshuang was in a good mood. She believed that as long as she had the lilac pollen, some things would be easier to handle.

On the other side, Li Zili returned to the Imperial Hospital with a calm face. He knew Qin Shuangshuang's intentions were not good, so he pretended that he could not disobey her orders and obeyed them. He quietly wrote down what had just happened and what Qin Shuangshuang wanted him to do in the prescription for Qi Zhiying. Qi Zhiying soon learned about this.

The corners of her mouth curled up. Everything was under Qi Zhiying's control...

Three days later, Qin Shuangshuang got the lilac pollen as she wished. She gently shook the bottle of pollen, thinking about how to use it. Soon a plan came to her mind.

Qin Shuangshuang decided to mix lilac pollen into Zhen Rui's food, causing her to be allergic without anyone noticing. She secretly arranged for Zhen Rui's personal maid to be replaced by her confidant. That night, Qin Shuangshuang ordered someone to bring food mixed with pollen to Zhen Rui's table. The next day, Han Junwu just opened his eyes and saw Zhen Rui in his arms with red pockmarks on her face. He was so scared that he pushed her off the bed.

"Your Majesty?" Zhen Rui, who was hurt from the fall, didn't know what had happened. She got up from the ground in pain and said, "What's wrong, Your Majesty? What's wrong with me?" Did she scare the emperor by talking in her sleep?

"What's wrong with your face?" Han Junwu tidied his clothes and stood up in a hurry: "Come here, let's go back to the palace. I still have to attend the morning court, so I'll go back first. You can ask the imperial physician to take a look." He resisted the goosebumps caused by nausea and shuddered. He left in a hurry, not knowing whether he would get infected as well: "Call the imperial physician."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The young eunuch beside him immediately ran to the Imperial Hospital.

"Face?" It was a little itchy. She touched it and felt something was wrong. Zhen Rui immediately ran to the dressing table and was horrified to find that she had a rash all over her face. She screamed, "Ah! My face!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The maid He Yue ran in after hearing the noise. Seeing Zhen Rui's face covered with dense red rashes, she screamed in fear: "Ah!!!!"

He Yue's scream attracted several maids. When they saw Zhen Rui at this time, they were frightened and screamed, because Zhen Rui looked so scary.

“Why are you screaming! Hurry up and find a doctor for me!!!” Zhen Rui almost yelled, if the doctor can’t cure her, she’ll be finished!!!

"Yes, yes, yes," He Yue hurried to find the imperial physician.

Soon Li Zilie followed He Yue to Zhen Rui's palace.

"Your servant Li Zilie pays his respects to Lady Zhen." Li Zilie bowed respectfully.

"Doctor Li, please save me quickly. What's wrong with me?" Zhen Rui saw Li Zilie rushing forward as if he had seen a savior, and her voice became hoarse.

"Okay, my lord, don't worry." Li Zili knew what was going on at a glance. Qin Shuang was really quick. He used the pollen so quickly.

"Sir, you have allergic symptoms. Have you eaten anything that may cause allergies recently?" Li Zili said seriously after taking the pulse.

"Allergic?" Zhen Rui thought about it quickly. No, I eat the same things every day. If I were allergic, I would have been allergic long ago. "No, they are all the same foods I eat every day."

"Have you been anywhere? Either you have eaten something, or you have contracted something that you are allergic to outside." Li Zili said again.

"No, where else can I go! I am either in the palace or with the emperor every day, where else can I go?" Zhen Rui was almost dying of anxiety. What on earth was going on!

"That's not going to be easy. In this case, I'll prescribe some suppressive medicine to be taken after meals every day. I'll also ask you to check thoroughly to see if there's anything that may be causing the allergy." After saying that, Li Zilie wrote down a few prescriptions for allergies on paper.

“He Yue!” Zhen Rui yelled at He Yue, “Hurry up and boil some medicine for me!”

"Yes, my dear," He Yue quickly took the prescription from Li Zili and ran out.

“Someone come!” Zhen Rui shouted again, “Dig deep underground for me to find out what caused my allergy!”

"Yes." A group of maids began to search around.

"Doctor Li, will this leave a scar?" Zhen Rui asked nervously. If this face was ruined, she would be ruined too!

"It's hard to say. Please control yourself and don't grab it with your hands, otherwise I will have no way to do anything." Li Zilie said with a frown.

"What?" Zhen Rui collapsed on the stool and muttered to herself, "If my face is ruined, I'm done for... done for."

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Li Zilie bowed, packed up his things and left.

Soon, the news of Zhen Rui's disfigurement spread in the palace. Some said she had a strange disease, some said she was poisoned, and some said she didn't know what dirty thing she had been infected with. For a while, rumors were rife in the palace. Upon learning of this, Zhen Luoyi hurriedly took the palace maids to Zhen Rui's palace.

Seeing Zhen Luoyi coming, Zhen Rui cried out with tears and snot: "Aunt, you must save Ruier."

"What is going on?" Seeing Zhen Rui's look, Zhen Luoyi was a little scared and had to pretend to be calm and sit away from her.

"Rui'er didn't know either. She was fine out of the blue, but she was like this when she woke up. She even scared the emperor! Wuuuuuu" Zhen Rui said with tears streaming down her face.

"What? The emperor saw you like this?" Zhen Luoyi was shocked. This was equivalent to being sent to the cold palace. Even if she was cured, it would be difficult to regain the emperor's favor. There would be a thorn in her heart. Zhen Rui, as a chess piece, was probably useless!

"Yes, wuwuwu." Zhen Rui felt extremely desperate when she thought of Han Junwu being so scared that he pushed her off the bed.

"This is troublesome." Zhen Luoyi frowned, "Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look?"

"I've seen it." Zhen Rui said dejectedly.

Zhen Luoyi exchanged pleasantries for a while and then left in a hurry. Unexpectedly, Zhen Luoyi's face also broke out in a rash after returning to the palace, which was extremely itchy. "Oh no!" She got infected after being away for such a short time? "Call the imperial physician!" Zhen Luoyi shouted in shock!

All of the doctors in the Imperial Hospital rushed to Zhen Luoyi's palace, and the entire harem was in chaos.

Qi Zhiying and Qin Shuangshuang were both watching the show in their respective palaces.

"Empress, I have checked the allergens and it should be caused by lilac pollen." Li Zilie raised his head and said.

"Yes, my family is allergic to lilac!" Zhen Luoyi suddenly thought of something and said, "Then Concubine Zhen may also be allergic to lilac pollen!"

"Someone come here!" Zhen Luoyi slammed the table.

"Your Majesty." A servant came out.

"Go and check where Yu Dingxiang is in the entire harem!" Zhen Luoyi glared at everyone. Someone must have deliberately framed her and Zhen Rui. Fortunately, she discovered it and suppressed it in time, otherwise her fate would be as miserable as Zhen Rui!

"Yes, Queen."
