Chapter 348: Chapter 348, the antidote
Qin Xue felt that her sister had really gone crazy. “You, how can you be so bold? Why Don’t you quickly return this medicinal powder!”
“Sister, this medicinal powder can no longer be returned. It’s just that we, the lowly servants, can not enter his majesty’s body at all. Sister, eunuch Huang from the Imperial Manor has wanted to eat with you for a long time. Can you help me?”
Qin Xue Slapped Qin Yu’s face in anger. “You are simply unreasonable.”
“Elder sister, I have already spent so much silver. I still owe eunuch Huang fifty silver taels! If I can’t return the silver, eunuch Huang, he, he...”
Qin Xue took a deep breath and said helplessly, “It’s absolutely impossible to get close to his majesty. If I’m not careful, I’ll implicate the entire nine families. How can this messy medicinal powder be used on his majesty? !”!
“However, the head of the Xie family of the Jiangnan aristocratic family is drunk. He is resting in the courtyard. Later, you will bring him some hangover medicine for me!”
Qin Yu thanked her profusely, “Thank you, Sister. I will go and get the hangover medicine now.”
Qin Yu went into the small kitchen and saw the hangover medicine boiling on the stove. He put a packet of medicinal powder into the hangover medicine and poured a bowl of it before leaving.
Not long after, Hong Ling also entered the kitchen. When she saw that half of the antidote had been poured, she poured the other half into the bowl and gave it to Qiao Ruoyi to drink.
..
Xie Yun had never drunk such strong alcohol before. He was still pretending to be drunk at the banquet just now, but when he went to the room to rest, he was really a little drunk.
When he closed his eyes for a nap, the tip of his nose was surrounded by a strong scent of cosmetics. When he opened his eyes slightly, he saw a face that was as white as a ghost.
“Master Xie, this is the antidote I specially brewed for you.”
Xie Yun smelled the fragrance of the woman’s body and felt his head hurt more and more. After drinking the antidote, he said to the palace maid, “You go down.”
When Qin Yu saw Xie Yun drink the antidote, he deliberately tidied it up slowly. “Master Xie...”
Xie Yun smelled the fragrance of the palace maid and wanted to vomit. The palace maids in the imperial residence were really unruly.
Qin Yu went forward and said, “Master Xie, why is there so much sweat on your forehead? Let this servant wipe it off for you, okay?”
Xie Yun said, “No need. You can go down!”
Not only did Qin Yu not go down, but half of his body was leaning on Xie Yun. Xie Yun felt more and more disgusted. She pushed Qin Yu away and left the courtyard to lock the door.
Qin Yu, who was locked in the house, was extremely shocked.
After Xie Yun went out, he saw Qin Xue and said, “Hurry up and find the imperial physician!”
It was unknown what the palace maid had given him, but Xie Yun knew in his heart that it was not something good!
How Could Qin Xue Dare to find the imperial physician? If she went to find the imperial physician, wouldn’t she expose her sister’s scheme? When that time came, neither she nor her sister would have a good ending. “Young Master Xie, are you feeling unwell?”
Xie Yun saw that this woman also had a disgusting fragrance on her body. When she looked at their similar appearances, she felt even more disgusted. She walked straight out of the courtyard.
Qin Xue stopped Xie Yun and asked, “Is there anything uncomfortable about patriarch Xie?”
Xie Yun raised her phoenix-like eyes and said to Qin Xue, “If you want to keep your sister alive, don’t Stop Me.”
Qin Xue quickly made way for Xie Yun.
There were not many palace maids and maids in the imperial residence. Most of them were serving at the banquet in the front courtyard. Xie Yun did not encounter any palace maids along the way. He only felt that his entire body was burning.
When he walked into a courtyard, he saw a clear spring inside and wanted to go in to relieve the heat on his body.
When he entered the lake, the heat was finally relieved a little. However, his mind became more and more muddled. He unconsciously felt a cold body wrap around him.
He did not know whether it was a dream or some bold palace maid. He was not willing to endure it anymore. He carried the woman in his arms and went ashore, heading into the house.
At dusk, Lady Qiao and Lu Chen returned to the palace first.
Qiao lui ordered someone to find Qiao ruoyi to see if she had sobered up. It was only after they went to the courtyard that they found out that Qiao Ruoyi had disappeared. The palace maids guarding outside the door did not know when Qiao Ruoyi had disappeared.
They searched the entire imperial manor for Qiao Ruoyi.
Qiao lui walked into the room and said, “This place is connected to the lake. Could it be that Ruoyi was drunk and jumped into the lake? Quickly get someone to go down to the lake to take a look.”
Fu Lu saw an earring by the bed and said, “This earring belongs to ruoyi. She didn’t really fall into the lake, did she? How did the palace maids serve her at the door? Someone... quickly get in the water!”
..
In a courtyard across the lake, Qiao Ruoyi slowly opened her eyes when she heard the noise outside. She did not know what had happened just now. She only knew that her body was very hot when she drank the antidote.
When she opened her eyes, there was still a sense of oppression from her body. When she fully woke up, she knew what had happened and raised her hand to slap the man on top of her.
Xie Yun was suddenly slapped and completely woke up. Looking at the woman’s appearance, he only felt that his head hurt even more.
Qiao ruoyi pushed Xie Yun away and picked up the clothes that were scattered all over the ground to put on properly. The clothes on the ground were still a little wet.
She heard a palace servant call her name outside. When she opened the door, she did not forget to turn around and say to Xie Yun, “My marriage is imminent. Don’t tarnish my reputation. What happened today is between us!”
At the moment, she did not care about a woman’s innocence. However, she could not be so courteous to other men when they were discussing marriage.
When Qiao Ruoyi stumbled out, she realized that she almost lost her balance.
Qiao lui came over to see Qiao ruoyi and let out a sigh of relief. “You scared me to death. I thought you fell into the lake drunk!”
Qiao ruoyi said, “I fell into the lake just now, but I came ashore in a daze and fell asleep here.”
“Hurry back and find a royal doctor to drink some medicine,”Qiao Lui said to Qiao ruoyi.
Qiao lui saw that Qiao Ruoyi was a little strange when she walked, but he did not think too much about it.
When Qiao Ruoyi got into the Qiao family’s carriage, she closed her eyes and saw the scene of her waking up just now.
She could not help but shed tears. Her Luck was already bad enough, yet she had to encounter such a thing again.
Although it was not important for a woman to be chaste at the moment, she did not want to lose her first time in a muddle-headed manner.
Yet, she could not seek justice for herself. If she were to settle the score with Xie Yun, everyone in Chang ‘an would probably say that she was in the middle of a marriage proposal and even seduced Xie Yun.
This matter could only be kept a secret for now.
..
After Xie Yun put on her clothes, she found out that Qiao Jinniang and Lu Chen had returned to the palace.
Xie Yun found eunuch Huang in the imperial residence and dealt with the two sisters, Qin Yu and Qin Xue. She thought of what Qiao Ruoyi had said before she left and rubbed her temples. Since she had already said that this matter was not known to outsiders, she would let it go.
When Xie Yun walked out of the door, the subordinates of the Xie family came up to her. Xie Yun said, “Send Gu Kaizhi’s vermilion cross portrait and Wang Youjun’s snow-time sunny invitation to the fifth daughter of the Qiao family. Take it as the Xie family’s makeup for her.”
“Yes, Master.”
