Chapter 480: Concubine Qing was murdered again, and she decided to take in a disciple.
The toxins in Concubine Qing's body surged again!
Wasn't it suppressed before? Why did it start again?
Fortunately, the toxin didn't spread too deeply, and this situation should have occurred not long ago.
She didn't ask for censure first, but used silver needles to suppress the poison in Concubine Qing's body. Otherwise, the poison would have spread to the heart and brain nerves, and there would have been no hope of recovery.
Now, she has lost all her internal energy and cannot control the needles with it for the time being. She can only return to her previous state and manually control the silver needles throughout the process.
Shui Ling stood aside, watching intently, her fingers moving slightly, as if she was replicating Shu He's movements.
After half an hour, Shu He withdrew the needle, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything is sealed, and later on, we can just bleed out the poison.
When she turned her head, she saw Shui Ling twirling her fingers in front of her.
Isn’t that the technique she just used, the Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles technique?
"What are you doing?" She suddenly asked, startling Shui Ling.
Her eyes regained clarity and she quickly knelt down, "Miss, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do that..."
She was just so fascinated by what she was watching that her fingers started moving without her knowing why.
Shu He stood up and helped her up. There was no blame on his face. Instead, he asked with a hint of doubt: "Do you know acupuncture?"
Shui Ling shook her head, a hint of unnaturalness flashing in her eyes, "I don't understand, it's just that when I was a child, I seemed to have seen my family do this."
The memory was a long time ago and she couldn't remember it clearly.
"Then do you remember my technique just now?"
Shui Ling still shook her head, "This servant only remembered half of it."
Shu He was extremely surprised, with excitement dancing in his eyes, "Let me see you do it."
After she finished speaking, Shui Ling recalled in her mind, and then went through the finger techniques and acupoint sequence she had just used.
Although there were pauses in the middle, I basically got it all done.
Shu He couldn't believe it. "Have you learned this secret technique before?"
Shui Ling's eyes were filled with confusion as she shook her head, "No, it was the first time I saw it, and I don't know how I remembered it."
Shu He: “…”
She looked at this water spirit and couldn't believe it.
Could it be that he was a rare medical genius? This was much faster than when she first learned the Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles!
This was the first time she thought of accepting a disciple.
Yazhi had previously expressed her desire to become a disciple, but she felt it was troublesome and unnecessary, and she would still teach even if he didn’t want her to become a disciple!
However, when she saw Shui Ling perform the Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles technique after watching it once, she really had this idea.
However, now is not the time to talk about this.
"Your name is Shui Ling, right?" Baili Moqing seemed to have mentioned this name. "Go get someone to prepare a large wooden barrel and fill it with hot water."
Shui Ling responded respectfully, "Yes."
After the matter inside was resolved, Shu He took a look around Concubine Qing's palace, but did not find anything unusual.
At this time, Concubine Qing's complexion had become much calmer, she no longer muttered, her brows relaxed, and she fell into a peaceful sleep.
Walking out of the hall, Shu He saw Yi'er sitting on the swing in the yard, waiting silently. Baili Moqing stood beside her, looking at a loss. When he saw her coming, he looked aggrieved and lonely.
It seems that this is because I didn't seize the opportunity and hit a soft nail.
Hey!
Should!
It’s time for this aloof and aloof prince, who is indifferent to worldly affairs, to suffer a setback!
Seeing her come out, Yi'er ran towards her first, pouting and looking very aggrieved, "Mom, what took you so long?"
It's dawn!
Shu He rubbed her hair and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yi'er, I kept you waiting for so long."
Without internal strength, the acupuncture speed and effect are not as fast as before.
She stretched out her hand to call a palace maid over, "Yier, mother has something important to do. Can you go play with this young lady for a while?"
Baili Moqing immediately understood what he meant and said to the palace maid, "Take the little princess to play in the front and come back later."
The maid responded, "Yes!"
Yi'er was a little dissatisfied, but knowing that they had important business, she could only follow the palace maid.
Shu He was still worried, so she called another palace maid to accompany her.
After Yi'er left, Baili Moqing spoke up, "Is there something wrong with Concubine Qing's health?!"
Shu He nodded, "Someone poisoned her again. Moreover, this time the drug is very potent and the dosage is very large. If I had come a day later, Concubine Qing might have died!"
Baili Moqing's face was gloomy, and his anger almost burned him. He called Shui Ling and scolded her, "How did you take care of Concubine Qing? Why did she get poisoned again?"
Shui Ling's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground, her face full of panic, "Your Highness, I don't know..."
"The food is all prepared in the small kitchen within the palace. Your Majesty has never come into contact with food from outside!"
Shu He could see that Shui Ling really didn't know about this, and might not even know that Concubine Qing was poisoned.
She looked at Baili Moqing and darkened her eyes. "Logically speaking, the people in Xingqing Palace are all those you arranged in the palace, so they should be trustworthy."
"I also checked the items in Concubine Qing's room, and there was nothing unusual."
Baili Moqing was even more confused. "What I eat, drink, and use are all fine. So what went wrong?"
"Noble Concubine Ming!!"
Shui Ling suddenly remembered something and called out the name.
"The Imperial Concubine came to see you last night. She said she heard that you were getting better and came to visit you."
Shu He's face darkened, "Then it must be her doing."
Baili Moqing's expression was not very good. "What are you all doing? Concubine Qing was poisoned, and you didn't even know?"
Shui Ling was so frightened by his pressure that her legs went weak and she kowtowed to the ground, "Your Highness, please forgive me!"
"I don't know what happened. When the Imperial Concubine came, I was standing by her side the whole time. I didn't see what she did to the Imperial Concubine Qing!"
Shu He patted Baili Moqing's hand, signaling him to calm down. Then he asked Xiang Shuiling, "When the Imperial Concubine came, what did she say? What did she do? Tell me in detail!"
Shui Ling knelt on the ground, trying hard to recall and describe every detail after Concubine Ming came in.
"When the Imperial Concubine came, the Imperial Concubine Qing had just gone to bed. I had already explained it to her, but the Imperial Concubine insisted on coming in to see her. I couldn't stop her, so I had to let her in."
"After she came in, she saw Concubine Qing frowning and looking pale. She felt very distressed and blamed the servants for not taking good care of her. Later, she personally fed Concubine Qing a glass of water."
"Later, the Empress continued to sleep. The Imperial Concubine stayed for a while and then left. Before leaving, she instructed the servants to take good care of Empress Qing."
After saying that, Shui Ling stopped talking. She thought about it again and still felt that there was no problem.
Shu He asked, "Is that all?"
Shui Ling nodded, "Yes, I was watching over the whole time, and the imperial concubine didn't do anything else to Concubine Qing!"
"I thought the Imperial Concubine was simply visiting, so I didn't take it seriously."
Baili Moqing's expression was slightly displeased. "You've been in the palace for quite some time, haven't you? Do you really think there's unprovoked kindness in this palace?"
Shui Ling looked at him and thought of someone. She didn't say anything, but in her heart she thought that there was still kindness in this world for no reason. Wasn't she the one who was saved by such kindness?
Shu He waved his hand, "Now is not the time to hold anyone accountable. When someone does evil, no matter how hard you try, you can't stop them!"
Baili Moqing waved his hand and let Shui Ling go down.
"Noble Concubine Ming is restless, which means Concubine Qing knows some secrets about her. She is afraid that Concubine Qing will reveal something when she wakes up."
After hearing this, Shu He immediately stood up and said, "I'll go and help her remove the poison now!"
As she turned around, she saw a panicked palace maid running towards the front yard.
"Your Highness, something bad has happened! The little princess bumped into Concubine Yu, and I was about to punish her!"
