Chapter 252 He took out two travel permits from his sleeve
Mo Qingkui was still in a daze, her voice hoarse and weak: "What... happened to me?"
All she remembered was that she seemed to have fainted...
Meng'er quickly replied, "Your Majesty, you were poisoned and had been unconscious for many days. You've finally woken up! That's wonderful!"
Mo Qingkui was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to recall the scene before she fainted.
She raised her hand to her forehead, a hint of disorientation in her eyes. "Who...who poisoned me?"
The imperial physician rushed over at this moment and said repeatedly, "Your Majesty, you have just woken up and must not say too much. If you have any doubts, you can ask them when you are feeling better."
Mo Qingkui closed her eyes.
She only remembered that she was talking to Gao Xian when, in the next instant, the world suddenly started spinning, and then she lost consciousness.
The imperial physician carefully examined her pulse and, after confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong, finally felt a little relieved.
Consort Chen has finally woken up; they won't have to be buried with her!
"The Emperor has arrived—" Eunuch Li's shrill voice rang out.
Gao Xian strode into the hall and immediately saw Mo Qingkui reclining on the bed.
"Qingkui!" He rushed forward, his voice filled with undisguised joy, "You're finally awake!"
He sat down on the edge of the couch, his eyes filled with a rare tenderness, and gently took her hand in his.
His gaze remained fixed on her.
Seeing that her pale face had finally regained some color, my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly calmed down.
Mo Qingkui's lips curved slightly, and she weakly called out, "Your Majesty..."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Gao Xian's heart trembled, and his fingertips involuntarily tightened.
"You're alright, I'm so glad you're alright!"
His voice trembled slightly, and his breathing became rapid.
He gazed at her with a mixture of excitement and pity, as if afraid he would never see her again.
Sensing Gao Xian's heartache and pity, Mo Qingkui's lips curved into a smile.
She placed her hand on Gao Xian's hand and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. Aren't I right here?"
Gao Xian nodded vigorously.
Yes, Qingkui is alright, she's still here, she'll stay with him.
They will be together forever.
As the two were talking, Eunuch Li hurriedly walked in, bowed, and reported.
"Your Majesty, there is an emergency in the court. Please come to the Imperial Study."
Upon hearing this, Gao Xian frowned, his gaze remaining fixed on Mo Qingkui's pale face.
They neither moved nor spoke.
Qingkui had just woken up, and he was worried about leaving her alone there...
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingkui gently tugged at Gao Xian's sleeve.
"Your Majesty, I am fine. Matters of state are of utmost importance, you may proceed."
Gao Xian lowered his head, raised his hand to gently stroke her cheek, and said in a gentle voice, "Qing Kui, you are becoming more and more sensible. Then you should rest well. I will come to see you when I am done with my work."
"I'll wait for you," Mo Qingkui replied softly.
Gao Xian nodded, stood up, gave a few instructions, and then left.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back one last time.
Only after seeing that she was indeed safe and sound did he leave.
After Gao Xian left, his personal maid Meng'er began to explain the whole story to Mo Qingkui.
"Your Highness, you don't know how close we came to danger this time," Meng'er said in a low voice, her eyes revealing a hint of lingering fear.
Mo Qingkui lay on the bed, her gaze sweeping indifferently over her, her voice slightly hoarse, "Explain yourself more clearly."
"The imperial physician discovered that the Empress's gold hairpin and wooden comb were poisoned! The poison was extremely well hidden, but fortunately it was discovered in time. The imperial physician said it was fortunate that the Empress hadn't used them for long, otherwise even a miracle worker wouldn't have been able to save her!"
Upon hearing the words "golden hairpin" and "wooden comb," Mo Qingkui trembled.
They actually used such a vicious method to harm her!
Meng'er continued, "The Emperor was furious and summoned all the concubines in the harem. In the end, it was discovered that it was Consort Qin who poisoned you, Your Highness!"
Mo Qingkui frowned. "Qin Le'an?"
Meng'er nodded, "Qin Changzai's personal maid came out to denounce her. Qin Changzai even cried and said that this matter had nothing to do with her and that it was Consort Xian who harmed you."
Mo Qingkui listened quietly, her long eyelashes drooping, processing the information in her mind.
"But Your Majesty, don't worry. The truth has come out now, and Consort Qin has been banished to the Cold Palace. Your Majesty can now focus on recovering."
Meng'er's voice carried a hint of comfort.
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingkui suddenly raised her eyes, a cold sneer flashing in them.
Having just entered the palace, she may have believed what Meng'er said.
But now, she doesn't believe it at all.
This matter is definitely not as simple as Meng'er said.
Qin Le'an may have known, but she was definitely not the one who truly planned all of this.
Instead... it was Consort Xian!
Mo Qingkui sneered. If Consort Xian wanted to kill her, she wouldn't let her off easily!
The Marquis's Residence, Zhiyuan Courtyard.
"Second Young Madam." Shan Ping cautiously pushed the door open and entered.
Upon seeing her, Xu Liuer's eyes immediately lit up. "You bought it?"
Shan Ping nodded vigorously, walked quickly to Xu Liuer, and said in a low voice, "I bought it!"
"Now that the epidemic is over, the people who make this have no more worries and quickly finished making it for us."
Shanping took out two travel permits from her sleeve.
The paper used was top-quality Xuan paper, and the top of each travel permit was written with the four characters "Pass" in cinnabar, with the forged name, place of origin and destination below.
Looking at the two road signs, his eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he was so excited that he could hardly speak.
Great, great!
With this travel permit, she can leave this place!
Seeing this, Shanping, who was standing next to her, also couldn't suppress her joy.
At this moment, the sound of the wind outside the door gradually became chaotic, and the leaves were swirled up, making a dry, rubbing sound.
Like countless cold fingernails slowly tracing across the door, it exudes a chilling sense of oppression.
The Marquis's Residence, Qinglan Courtyard.
Qin Jiuwei's health gradually recovered, and Meng Qihuang prescribed her medicine again.
The medicine I'm taking now mainly nourishes yin and replenishes qi, clears heat and removes dampness.
She was also not as sleepy as she had been a few days ago.
Today, I got up as soon as the sun rose and had breakfast with Xie Yanli and the children.
Then he sat down at the table and began to look at the account books.
After roughly sorting through the information, Qin Jiuwei picked up the teacup beside her, preparing to take a small sip.
At that moment, the maid's voice rang out.
"Second Young Madam."
Qin Jiuwei looked up and saw Xu Liuer walking slowly towards her.
He was also carrying an exquisite wooden box.
Qin Jiuwei's eyes lit up, and she quickly put down her teacup and stood up. "Liu'er, you've come!"
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling better?" Xu Liuer walked to the table and placed the wooden box on it.
"It's much better now," Qin Jiuwei said gently.
His gaze fell on the wooden box, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "Look at you, coming so early in the morning. You must have brought something good again, right?"
Xu Liuer smiled and opened the box. Inside were several finely stitched sachets and a few pieces of soft, sweet rice cakes.
She said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I made this sachet last night. I put some calming herbs inside, and the smell helps me sleep better."
"I made these rice cakes myself. I sent some over last time. I wonder if you liked them, sister-in-law?"
"I like it, of course I like it." Qin Jiu said with a smile. "I've already finished all the food you sent last time, and I didn't expect you to send more right away. Liu'er, your cooking is really good."
"I'm glad you like it, sister-in-law," Xu Liuer said softly.
She watched Qin Jiuwei eat rice cake quietly, a faint smile on her lips.
But a hint of melancholy and sadness lingered in that smile.
