Chapter 762: The fl.u.s.tered palace maid
Bai Zhi shook her head: “It’s not that the Imperial Doctor’s diagnosis was wrong. You were poisoned at the time and you suffered from a cold syndrome. You were temporarily relieved after taking the medication, so you didn’t feel uncomfortable. But during that time, you were given another kind of poison. The toxicity of this poison is very weak, which is very hard to diagnose, and will not cause any obvious burden to the body. However, when this poison is mixed with the poison acc.u.mulated in your body before, it will become a different kind of poison, which is very hard to detect. It will not cause any abnormalities in your body, but it will damage some functions in your body little by little.”
“For example, such function like fertility.” She looked at Meng Xuanling’s clear eyes while saying it word by word.
Meng Xuanling’s breathing continued to accelerate as her face turned pale. Over the years, she has been seeking medical advice, but she still couldn’t find a solution. She thought she had a problem. But after hearing Bai Zhi’s words, she has a sense of relief.
Over the years, she thought of different kinds of ways to get pregnant and didn’t pay attention to those seemingly inadvertent trivial things. After thinking about it, those trivial things unexpectedly have extraordinary meanings.
No need to dig too deep, she knew who was harming her, but she never thought that person had been harming her for so many years ago.
There were three palace maids beside Meng Xuanling. Two of them looked very angry, but the other one had a sweat on her pale face.
Although it was warm in the side hall, it’s not to the point that it can make people sweat.
Meng Xuanling was silent and in deep thoughts, so naturally, she didn’t notice the abnormality of this palace maid. However, Bai Zhi felt that she had to give reminders.
Bai Zhi cleared her throat and coughed twice, which brought Meng Xuanling’s gaze back to her. Bai Zhi looked up at the palace maid standing behind the couch where Meng Xuanling was sitting and said: “Sister, I’m thirsty, can you help me get a new cup of tea?”
The palace lady didn’t expect that Bai Zhi would speak to her suddenly, so she was taken aback for a while before she reacted, and then hurriedly responded.
The palace maid seemed a little fl.u.s.tered. And hen she was called by Bai Zh for a tea, she became even more fl.u.s.tered. As if she had done something bad and was caught on the spot. On the way to the tea house, she almost knocked over a vase.
The palace maid’s strange behavior fell in Meng Xuanling’s eye. She couldn’t help but frown her eyebrows. She took a glance at the palace maid again and fell in thoughts, and then nodded her head at Bai Zhi. As thanks for reminding her.
After a while, the palace maid came to serve tea. Bai Zhi had already sat back to her original position. So the palace maid lightly placed the teacup on the small table beside Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi smiled and asked: “Sister, what happened to your hand? Why is it shaking?”
The palace maid hurriedly withdrew her hand and hid it behind her, then dryly laughed: “It was burned. This slave is clumsy and can’t even do things well, which made Miss Bai laugh.”
Meng Xuanling looked at her with a smile: “The slave’s hand can’t remain to be burned, so let Miss Bai take a look at it and write a prescription, as to not leave scars.”
The palace maid shook her head immediately: “No need, thank you, my lady, for your care. This slave’s hands are rough, it’s nothing new to be burned one or twice. It’s really okay.”
“That won’t work, no matter how rough your hands are, you have to put medicine. If you leave it like that and had seen by someone else, our palace reputation will be bad.” The palace lady, who was standing next to Meng Xuanling, named Qiu Ying, stepped forward and grabbed Dong Ye’s hand and pulled it out behind her back.
Bai Zhi took a glance at it. Dong Ye’s hand was thin and had a white complexion. There was no slightest trace of burns.
Qiu Ying asked angrily: “What’s going on? How dare you lie in front of the concubine? Are tired of living?”
