Chapter 55 Courage and Confidence
On the surface, Xiao Bi has gradually regained his composure.
But when she picked up the pen, her hands were shaking all the time, and the words she wrote were crooked and messy.
Jimei looked at her worriedly and almost couldn't help but take the pen from her hand.
"I'm fine." Xiao Bi wrote three letters as quickly as possible, folded them and stuffed them into envelopes before the ink could dry.
"Have these letters sent out immediately."
"Yes." Zimei took the letter and hurried out of the inner room.
Xiao Bi rubbed her cheek vigorously and walked back to the bed.
Xiao Heng was lying on the bed calmly, still showing no sign of waking up.
Xiao Bi sat down and gently held Xiao Heng's hand.
Compared with her, the eldest sister is dignified, bright, gentle and virtuous, and is a real lady from a high family.
But it was this frail woman with a delicate figure who held up the sky for her, allowing her to live a carefree life for more than ten years.
No matter how much trouble she gets into, the eldest sister will always find a way to deal with the aftermath.
She never thought that this world would collapse one day; she never thought about how terrible her life would be without her big sister.
"Sister..." Xiao Bi buried her face in Xiao Heng's palm.
"Xiaojiu is no longer stubborn... You have been looking forward to a good home for me, but I have never taken it seriously and always found excuses to deal with you.
As long as you wake up, I will listen to you in everything.
I no longer have a mother. If I no longer have a eldest sister, who will prepare my hair extensions and organize my marriage?
And Xiaoluoluo and Anyang...
That day you told me that if someone did harm to them, you would risk your life to protect them.
You know better than anyone what kind of place the palace is.
Xiao Luoluo has just turned nine and needs your guidance and support; Anyang is only two years old, can you bear to let her be a child like me who can't even remember her mother's appearance..."
Xiao Heng's palms were soon submerged, and tears dripped down her fingers onto the quilt.
"Xiaojiu..." A familiar voice came to my ears.
Xiao Bi raised her face and looked around, only to see Nie and Lan walking in together.
"Fourth uncle and grandmother, third aunt." She gently put down Xiao Heng's hand, stood up and saluted the two ladies.
Nie quickly walked to the bedside, took out the handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Don't worry, Xiaojiu, our whole family is trying to find a doctor who is good at detoxification. For this reason, your second aunt even returned to the capital in person. Ah Heng must
It'll be fine."
Although she knew that her third aunt was comforting her, Xiao Bi still felt a little more comfortable.
When facing difficulties, having the support of family members can add a bit of courage and confidence.
Because of this, the Xiao family can still stand firm after hundreds of years of ups and downs.
Lan's personality is far less strong than Nie's. Although she tried hard to control it, she still kept sobbing.
"Why does God always have trouble with the Xiao family? Just a few days after the good days, disaster strikes again..."
Nie pushed her: "Have you forgotten all what I said to you just now?"
Lan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and her crying gradually became quieter.
Nie looked at Xiao Bi again: "Xiaojiu, has His Majesty not come back yet?"
"I rushed back as soon as I heard that my eldest sister was in trouble. There is a large group of people around my brother-in-law. I'm afraid they are still on their way back."
Nie secretly sighed.
She thinks too much. His Majesty the Emperor cannot be compared with ordinary men.
No matter how anxious he was, he still had to take his identity into consideration. How could he rush back like Xiaojiu without caring about his own safety?
Xiao Bi could not think about this and told the two ladies what happened to Emperor Tianqing in the hunting ground.
Both Nie and Lan were shocked, and Lan even forgot to cry.
Xiao Bi said: "I think the matter of eldest sister's poisoning is definitely not that simple. There must be something hidden behind it."
Nie nodded: "Having said that, the most important thing right now is to quickly detoxify Ah Heng."
While he was talking, there was a commotion outside, and Emperor Tianqing was seen walking in quickly.
Nie and Lan couldn't avoid it and quickly bowed together with Xiao Bi.
Emperor Tianqing stared at Xiao Heng lying on the bed and waved his hands randomly.
Xiao Bi and others did not dare to stay and hurriedly exited the inner room together.
The Queen Mother was old and not in good health. She felt dizzy after struggling for a long time. Concubine Hua sent her back to her residence. There were only a few palace servants left in the main hall.
His Majesty the Emperor was back, and it was inconvenient for Nie and Lan to stay here any longer, so Xiao Bi sent them out of the Fenghe Palace.
"Xiao Xiaojiu——"
As soon as the two ladies left, Wei Yuan, who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, pulled Cao Kun over.
Xiao Bi frowned and said, "Why are you two here?"
Wei Yuan said: "Brother Huang was afraid that something might happen to you, so he ordered us to follow him. Who would have thought that your horse is so fast, even though we were hurrying all the way, we couldn't catch up."
Cao Kun hurriedly added: "Only with Captain Xiao leading the way, we were able to get here unimpeded."
Wei Yuan glanced sideways at him. This guy was tall and strong. He looked like a simple-minded person, but he actually had a lot of ambitions.
He was the only foreign minister who could not come here unimpeded. He was His Majesty's cousin. Is there any place in the palace that he was not allowed to go to?
Xiao Bi said: "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine now. You all can go back and rest."
Cao Kun really couldn't find any reason to stay, so he could only say goodbye and leave.
Wei Yuan was unwilling to leave and asked: "Xiao Xiaojiu, is the emperor's wife getting better?"
Xiao Bi shook her head: "Eldest sister is still unconscious. Even the doctors don't know about this poison. How can she get better?"
Wei Yuan suggested: "It's too sunny here, let's go in and find a place to talk."
Xiao Bi was too lazy to care and returned to Fenghe Hall with him.
"Hey, isn't that Judge Liu from the Taiyuan Hospital?" Wei Yuan suddenly stopped and pointed to the middle-aged man waiting at the side of the main hall.
Xiao Bi just sent the two ladies out and didn't pay attention to the people standing on both sides.
At this time, he looked along Wei Yuan's hand, and sure enough he saw Judge Liu Yuan waiting there, followed by an unfamiliar young imperial physician.
"I'll go over and take a look." She raised her legs and walked over.
Judge Liu Yuan was talking in a low voice with the young imperial physician. When they saw Xiao Bi, they quickly stopped talking and saluted her together.
Xiao Bi said: "President Liu, why are you two here?"
Judge Liu raised his hand: "Back to Princess, this is Dr. Tang who just entered the Imperial Hospital two months ago.
He said that he knew the poison that the Queen had been poisoned by, and wanted to come and consult the Queen himself.
I didn't dare to be careless, so I brought him with me."
Hearing that Dr. Tang actually knew the poison in his eldest sister, Xiao Bi's voice changed slightly: "Doctor Tang actually knew the poison?"
Doctor Tang said: "Back to the princess, my official qualifications are too low, and I am not qualified to consult the Queen.
That's why he didn't come to Fenghe Palace with Liu Yuanjing and others just now.
