Chapter 215 Harm others and yourself
"Madam Su was only slightly poisoned. I have already given her an antidote. She should wake up soon."
The imperial physician lowered his head and spoke carefully.
"That's good."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Lin Wanqing frowned, took out a small paper bag from his pocket, and handed it to the imperial physician, "My Lord Imperial Physician, take a look, is this poison?"
The imperial physician took the paper package, opened it, and saw that it contained some peach and bamboo powder.
He sniffed it carefully, his expression changing slightly. "Princess, this is the powder made from the ground peach bamboo. If someone consumes it, they will experience the same symptoms as Concubine Su."
"These peach and bamboo powders were found in Aunt Su's room."
She does things in an open and honest manner and would never be a sinister and cunning person.
"This...how is this possible?"
Lu Ming looked at the powder mixed with peach bamboo and said with some disbelief.
How could Aunt Su use such a thing to harm herself?
"Whether it's this kind of poison or not, we'll know when Aunt Su wakes up."
Lin Wanqing didn't argue with him and said lightly.
She believed the truth would soon come out.
"Ah."
Lu Shengyuan nodded, then looked at Su Qiaoer lying on the bed, a cold glint in his eyes.
He didn't know whether Su Qiaoer was the mastermind behind this matter. If so, he would never let her off easily!
No matter who it is, no one can destroy the peace of his general's mansion!
At this moment, Su Qiaoer on the bed suddenly coughed violently.
She was pale and looked extremely weak.
"Aunt Su, are you awake?"
Seeing this, Lu Ming quickly stepped forward and asked with a concerned look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Su Qiaoer looked up at him, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
She subconsciously clenched the bed sheet beneath her, her face pale. "I...I greet the Prince, Princess, and Old Madam."
"No need to be so polite, Aunt Su."
Lu Shengyuan looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's wrong with the poison in your body? Did someone instruct you to deliberately frame the princess?"
When Su Qiaoer heard this, her body stiffened and her face turned pale in an instant.
"Your Highness is wise. I did not frame the princess. I really don't know what happened."
She looked at Lu Shengyuan in panic, her eyes full of fear.
"You don't know? Then what's this peach and bamboo powder?"
Lu Shengyuan looked at her, his face darkening.
Su Qiaoer followed his gaze and saw that the imperial physician was holding the peach and bamboo powder that she had used before.
"This... this is not mine."
Seeing this, Su Qiaoer's face turned pale instantly.
"How dare you quibble! This thing was found in your room!"
Lin Wanqing looked at her, his face darkening.
Upon hearing this, Su Qiaoer trembled all over and her face turned as pale as paper in an instant.
"This... this is what I asked my maid to buy, but I used it as medicine, not to harm the princess!"
She looked at Lin Wanqing with horror and shook her head desperately.
"Medicine?"
Lin Wanqing frowned. Although she knew some medical skills, she had never heard that the peach bamboo could be used as medicine.
"Yes... yes, I heard a folk remedy before that said that the bamboo shoots can beautify and nourish the skin, so I... I bought some to try."
Su Qiaoer looked at her with evasive eyes.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing frowned even more tightly.
Peach Bamboo is a highly poisonous plant, and she actually uses it for beauty and skincare? This woman is really reckless!
But...if what she said is true, then this matter is a bit strange.
Since she hadn't harmed herself, why was she poisoned? And the symptoms of poisoning were exactly the same as those of the jacaranda bamboo...
"Your Highness, I really didn't harm the princess. I was also poisoned. I am also a victim!"
At this moment, Su Qiaoer suddenly crawled to Lu Shengyuan's feet and hugged his thighs crying.
"enough!"
Lu Shengyuan growled and pulled his leg out of her hands.
He glanced at her coldly, without a trace of warmth in his eyes. "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If you are truly innocent, I will not wrongly accuse you. But if you dare to play tricks... I will definitely not let you off easily!"
When Su Qiaoer heard this, her body stiffened and she quickly lowered her head.
"Yes...I know."
Lin Wanqing looked at Su Qiaoer's pitiful appearance without a trace of pity in his heart.
Although she didn't know where the peach and bamboo powder came from, she believed that this matter was definitely not that simple!
"Imperial Physician, is Aunt Su's poisoning related to this Peach and Bamboo Powder?"
Lin Wanqing looked at the imperial physician and asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician nodded quickly and said, "To answer your Majesty, the poison that Concubine Su was infected with is the same as the poison in this peach and bamboo powder."
"but……"
He changed the subject and frowned, saying, "Logically, this bamboo shoot would only cause poisoning if it came into direct contact with the skin or was ingested, and the poison isn't severe. How could Aunt Su be so seriously poisoned?"
He couldn't understand why. Although the poison of the peach bamboo was not fatal, it couldn't be so mild.
"Direct contact with skin or ingestion?"
Lin Wanqing raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
She looked at Su Qiaoer's slightly panicked expression and suddenly had a guess in her mind.
"Auntie Su, has anyone else touched this peach and bamboo powder besides you?"
She looked at Su Qiaoer indifferently and asked softly, but there was a cold light flashing in her dark eyes.
"No... no, I am the only one who has touched this peach and bamboo powder."
Su Qiaoer felt a little guilty when she saw her cold eyes. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her.
Hearing this, Lin Wanqing raised the corner of his mouth and a sneer flashed in his eyes.
It seems that someone wants to kill two birds with one stone, getting rid of Su Qiaoer and framing himself!
However, the plan of the person behind the scenes is likely to fail!
"Mrs. Su, think carefully, has anyone else touched this peach and bamboo powder?"
At this moment, Lu Shengyuan suddenly asked.
He always felt that there was something strange about this matter. Although Su Qiaoer was stupid, she would not use such a clumsy method to frame Lin Wanqing.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know..."
Su Qiaoer trembled when she heard this, and looked up at Lu Shengyuan with fear in her eyes.
"Don't know? Then I'll remind you!"
Lu Shengyuan looked at her, his face darkening. "Besides you, who else can touch this peach and bamboo powder?"
"This……"
When Su Qiaoer heard this, her face turned pale and she opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Yes, besides myself, the only other fan of this Jiataozhu fan is...
"Your Highness, I suddenly remembered that I once gave this peach and bamboo powder to the embroiderers in the mansion and asked them to make rouge for me."
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and her expression changed.
"Embroiderer?"
Lu Shengyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
