Chapter 104 - Peony Flowers (2)
Chapter 104: Peony Flowers (2)
The empress beamed with smiles, she was happy with the answer she had heard, she picked a jasmine flower and put it on the Imperial Noble Consort’s palm, “My good sister, you know how to say some sweet words to make me happy. But I’m getting old, I’m not as pretty as you and other sisters.”
Hearing that, the imperial concubines shook their heads in unison, “Your highness, you are always as beautiful as the peony flower.”
Murong Xue watched this nervously, she was worried the empress might set up her mother again, but Luo Qianqian’spresence made her feel better.
Suddenly people stopped and marveled at the rainbow chrysanthemums that the imperial floriculturists had bred. Luo Qianqian exclaimed in her heart that how smart the ancient people were, they already knew how to breed flowers with petals in different colors.
Someone emerged behind Luo Qianqian and pushed her at full blast, the next second Luo Qianqian had lost balance and fell into those rainbow chrysanthemums.
Luo Qianqian clenched both her fists and used her core strength from falling directly to the flowers in clusters. Luo Qianqian narrowed her eyes in anger, she knew very well who had pushed her.
Yue Qiqi!
Luo Yuyan on the other hand rushed towards Luo Qianqian and supported her to stand up, “Little Four, are you all right? How come you’ve lost your balance?”
Luo Qianqian smiled at her as a response, curious to see what else she got to say.
Yue Qiqi crossed her arms and said with sarcasm, “Aiya, I’m so sorry Fourth Lady, how clumsy am I, sorry for accidentally pushing you.”
Accidentally?
Murong Xue refused to take this bullshxx, she raised her hand, ready to slap Yue Qiqi, “Oh yeah? I’m about to say sorry to you as well, sorry for accidentally slapping you on the face, don’t mess with my sister-in-law any more!”
“Xue!” two voice rang at the same time.
Luo Qianqian and the Imperial Noble Consort shouted at Murong Xue at the same time.
Murong Xue’s hand halted halfway, “But she… but she is bullying my sister-in-law again!”
“Xue, I know you care for me, but don’t taint your hands because of me.” Luo Qianqian smiled.
“But she… …” Murong Xue insisted.
“Xue, come to my side, now.” Luo Qianqian’s tome was gentle, but it carried some weight.
“Yue Qiqi, I will let you go this time, wise up!” Murong Xue gnashed her teeth.
Yue Qiqi dared not to say anything for fear of Murong Xue’s status, but she hated Luo Qianqian even more now, she didn’t know why so many people would defend her and protect her.
Luo Qianqian decided to let this go, but this didn’t mean she was going to forgive Yue Qiqi. She just didn’t want the empress to use this as an opportunity to bring trouble to the Imperial Noble Consort.
Luo Qianqian felt itchy on the arms, she scratched her arms to ease that feeling, but soon she felt itchy on the neck, the back, the thighs… …
And soon she felt dizzy and nauseous.
Luo Qianqian shook her head, trying to keep a clear head, but soon she needed to keep her eyes open with great effort. And she noticed Luo Yuyan’s crooked smile before she passed out.
‘Why is Luo Yuyan smiling like that?’
‘Does she have something to do with this?’
With that in mind Luo Qianqian fell on the ground.
“Sister-in-law!” that was Murong Xue.
“Your Highness!” that was Feng Qing.
“Qianqian!” that was the Imperial Noble Consort.
“Little Four!” that was Luo Yuyan.
Luo Qianqian went to the space after she passed out.
“Xiao Bai, what happened to me?” Luo Qianqian was so confused, she thought about the possibility of Yue Qiqi poisoning her when she was pushed, but she ruled out that possibility for she had carried the panacea antidote.
“I have no idea either, this doesn’t make sense to me. Let’s think what has happened to you before you passed out.” Xiao Bai comforted Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian rubbed her forehead and thought about what had happened, Yue Qiqi pushed her to the rainbow chrysanthemum, and Luo Yuyan supported her standing up, but Luo Qianqian was sure Luo Yuyan had no chance to poison her within such a short period of time, Yue Qiqi didn’t stand a chance either, it was a matter of two seconds, maximum.
“Master, think harder, I don’t think this is a coincidence.”
Luo Qianqian nodded.
Yue Qiqi had pushed her to the rainbow chrysanthemum in clusters.
Chrysanthemum?
Everything started to make sense now!
She wasn’t poisoned or drugged, she was allergic.
To those rainbow chrysanthemum.
The original owner of this body was allergic to chrysanthemum.
And Luo Yuyan knew it quite well, that was why Yue Qiqi had pushed her and Luo Yuyan flashed a crooked smile after she noticed Luo Qianqian keep scratching all over. Yue Qiqi wasn’t just trying to make a fool of her, Yue Qiqi wanted Luo Qianqian to pass out.
“Xiao Bai, I know exactly what has happened to me, someone has schemed against me.” Luo Qianqian sighed.
Xiao Bai wasn’t over worried for Luo Qianqian for it knew what the master was capable of, it was worried for those people who had schemed against me, soon they would regret their life choices.
People who cared about Luo Qianqian were in a chaos when Luo Qianqian herself wandered around in the shop with ease and leisure.
The Imperial Noble Consort ordered the servants to carry Luo Qianqian back to her Red Joy Palace and she sent for an Imperial Physician.
“Imperial Physician, please hurry, please check on her, look at her, she passed out for no reason and look at her face now, her face is covered with rash.” Murong Xue brimmed with tears.
The Imperial Noble Consort, Murong Xue and Feng Qing were all worried sick.
The Imperial Physician felt Luo Qianqian’s pulse and comforted them, “Please don’t worry too much, the Fourth Lady is just allergic.”
“Allergic?” Murong Xue looked confused, “To what though? We haven’t eaten anything?”
The Imperial Physician explained, “It doesn’t have to be food necessarily, please think hard what Fourth Lady has done or encountered before she passed out.”
“I know, it must be chrysanthemum! Yue Qiqi and Luo Yuyan should be responsible for this!” Murong Xue exclaimed.
The Imperial Physician wrote Luo Qianqian a prescription and said, “Please rest assured the Fourth Lady will come to herself soon, it’s just the rash on her face might take a few days… …”
