The Beloved Imperial Consort

Chapter 71

Chapter 71

Tang Yi Ru helplessly watched the imperial physician leave. She was so infuriated she threw away the porcelain pillow from the bed.

Charlatan. They were all charlatans! Looking at the bloody stain on the handkerchief, Tang Yi Ru's heart was swallowed by terror.

Half a month ago, she has suddenly fainted in the courtyard. After waking up, she used the medicine. However, not only she didn't get well, on the contrary, she became weak and feeble. Her whole body was covered by cold sweat and during the night she coughed incessantly. Now, she even started to cough up blood!

Two imperial physicians have diagnosed her. She drank medicine every day. Yet, there was no improvement in her illness.

The one who has just checked her pulse was already the third imperial physician. He, too, kept saying that her heart was distressed and that she has put too much tax on her mind. He only told her to properly use the medicine and recuperate with peace of mind.

Distressed heart and too much tax on her mind? She, Tang Yi Ru, was like a transparent person in this estate. What was there for her to be concerned about and exhaust her thoughts? It was clearly a severe illness! A blood-coughing illness. How many people could pull through that? The hateful fact was there was actually no one who was able to diagnose it!

Tang Yi Ru had speculation. This inexplicable illness was, most likely, a poison! Unfortunately, she couldn't count on the imperial physicians. The only one in this estate who was able to detect any clues was lady Qi.

Tang Hui Ru wanted to secretly harm her last time. She was able to escape only thanks to lady Qi's wittiness. She didn't know whether this time she will be also able to avoid her doom.

Tang Yi Ru hastily ordered people to go and ask for lady Qi. Yet, she waited and waited, but nobody came. In the end, a servant girl came to report that lady Qi has inadvertently caught a cold. She was currently on the bed rest and recuperating.

Tang Yi Ru looked coldly at lady Qi's personal maidservant, wishing to throttle her. Very well. The pair of master and servant were actually treating her like a fool.

The previous few times it was a headache and a mild fever. This time, she has caught a cold. She didn't know lady Qi was so sickly.

"Little sister is bed-ridden twice every three days. Should big sister ask for the imperial physician to take a look at her?" Tang Yi Ru lifted the hanging screen and entered inside along with Shu Mei while looking at the woman on the bed whose expression has abruptly changed. She sneered.

Lady Qi didn't expect Tang shufei would disregard her face and burst in. She immediately knew it was no good, that things were going to turn bad.

She has repeatedly rejected her visits and alienated her, making her angry. She now came to look for her trouble.

Lady Qi pulled out a stiff smile. She coughed weakly for few times, "This servant thanks for shufei's concern. These are all small ailments. Nothing a recuperation won't make better. There's no need for the imperial physician."

"We can't drag the small ailments, can we?" Tang Yi Ru took lady Qi's hand and looked straight into her eyes, "Or perhaps, little sister is not worried about touching a filthy thing?"

Lady Qi shook inside. She instantly understood that Tang Yi Ru became suspecting something.

No wonder she burst in so hastily and anxiously. Her life was at stake. She naturally won't be able to sit still.

"That's very kind of you to say so. This servant has been merely chilled by the wind. A little sweating will make this servant better."

Regardless of whether Tang Yi Ru could ultimately obtain the clues, the information absolutely mustn't come from her, otherwise, a disaster will befall her.
