How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 624: Losing Both the Lady and the Army

Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Losing Both the Lady and the Army

Shu’er hurried over, her eyes filled with a smile.

She had planned to continue acting for a while longer, but unexpectedly Pei Lingling was in so much pain just now that when she struggled, she managed to struggle out the medicine bottle.

Now that Divine Doctor Xue took it out, no one would say that their people framed Pei Lingling.

Shu’er said, "Divine Doctor Xue, what is this?"

Divine Doctor Xue opened the bottle cap and sniffed it.

Pei Lingling hurriedly said, "This is my personal medicine, Divine Doctor Xue, quickly return it to me. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll accuse you of a beheading crime?"

Divine Doctor Xue’s expression was strange, but he did not speak.

Shu’er said indifferently, "Divine Doctor Xue, speak your mind."

Divine Doctor Xue said, "This is precisely the poison that the Imperial Concubine was affected by, the Five Poison Powder from the Southern Border."

Pei Lingling’s face went blank for a moment, she just said it was her personal medicine, and then it was revealed to be Five Poison Powder.

Her eyes shifted, and she angrily said, "Who, who swapped my medicine?"

It’s not that Pei Lingling is too stupid.

But indeed, Pei Lingling has always been skilled at framing others.

By saying this, she’s merely trying to shut Shu’er up.

Shu’er said, "Sister, what was your previous medicine?"

Pei Lingling said, "The previous medicine was for beautifying."

Shu’er pointed at Pei Lingling’s subordinates who were kneeling in a row.

"How dare you play tricks on my sister, you scoundrels! Someone, seize the Imperial Concubine’s lackeys; I will personally interrogate them! I must restore justice for my sister."

Pei Lingling was momentarily stunned; she didn’t expect that after coming to the Prince Zhan Mansion, not only was she poisoned, but even her servants were detained. Now she has few people she can rely on.

She hurriedly said, "Sister, this is my affair, please let me handle it myself."

Shu’er patted the back of Pei Lingling’s hand, "Sister, don’t be so reserved, we are all Pei Family, this is what we should do."

Pei Lingling was furious at Shu’er; just as she was about to speak further, her men had already been captured.

In a panic, Pei Lingling called over a little eunuch.

"Sister, this person is absolutely trustworthy, no need to interrogate him. I’ll have him send a message, saying I’m dining at the Prince Mansion, so no need to prepare at the Pei Mansion."

As soon as she said that, Shu’er nodded lightly, "Sister, you’ve thought this through."

Shen Wanqing watched Pei Lingling writhing in pain while eating pastries, feeling nothing but satisfaction.

When the little eunuch whispered something to Pei Lingling, she said, "Go quickly, call my mother, my father spoils her the most, have her come take me home."

She was really in unbearable pain.

The little eunuch nodded repeatedly, received his orders, and hurried to the Pei Mansion.

Upon arriving at the Pei Mansion, the little eunuch conveyed the news that Pei Lingling was detained at the Prince Zhan Mansion.

Xiang Hui’s face turned ugly as she slapped the table heavily.

"That little hussy Shu’er, turning things upside down, she doesn’t realize what status my daughter holds now. Does she, a mere Princess Consort, dare detain my daughter?"

"Someone, head to the Prince Zhan Mansion."

The little eunuch said, "The Imperial Concubine also mentioned, before you go, to find Lin Shiyao, the Divine Doctor, to get the antidote from her and bring it to her."

So Xiang Hui redirected to the Imperial Palace, seeking Lin Shiyao.

At that moment, Lin Shiyao was the head of the Imperial Hospital, and upon hearing Xiang Hui’s request, a corner of her mouth curled up.

She did have an antidote, but now that Pei Lingling willingly came to serve as her minion, she wouldn’t hold back.

So she only gave part of the antidote; the poison would relapse next time, with symptoms even more severe.

By then, giving Pei Lingling the antidote would not be free.

At this time, Xiang Hui arrived at the Prince Mansion.

Pei Lingling’s people were interrogated until their skins were split open, while Shu’er remained steadily seated in the main position, calmly handling issues within the Prince Zhan Mansion’s inner residence.

Even the meals were arranged with the kitchen.

Before she could speak, Xiang Hui’s voice preceded her, laughing.

"Princess Consort, I know you fancy our Lingling, but now that Lingling is a noble Imperial Concubine, there’s no need to detain her, don’t you agree?"

Shu’er smiled, "What are you saying, Aunt Xiang Hui? Ask my sister if it was me who detained her?"

Divine Doctor Xue said, "The Imperial Concubine’s body truly should not be moved, otherwise it will only cause more discomfort."

After saying this, Shu’er shrugged.

"I’m considering my sister’s well-being. But when it reaches Aunt’s ears, it turns into me detaining my sister. Alas, my heart, it’s colder than the snow in midwinter."

Xiang Hui’s mouth twitched, quickly laughing, "Yes, Shu’er is the most understanding, it’s Aunt who misunderstood you."

"I just found another Divine Doctor who formulated an antidote; quickly let Lingling try if this medicine is effective."

Shu’er shook her head, "Aunt, that might not be good. What if someone wants to frame my sister again?"

Xiang Hui, seeing Pei Lingling in such pain, her heart already twisted, ignored everything else and sat next to Pei Lingling, secretly placing the pill in her mouth.

After taking the antidote, Lingling soon felt relief from the abdominal pain.

Just as she exhaled a long breath, she felt the pain in her abdomen intensify.

Divine Doctor Xue quickly checked her pulse and said, "The medicine is not suitable for Her Majesty; some ingredients are missing from the antidote, causing her such distress."

Pei Lingling was about to faint from the pain.

Shu’er did not treat her, just stood by watching.

Finally, Xiang Hui said, "I heard the Princess Consort is skilled in medicine, could you treat your sister?"

Shu’er shook her head, sighing, "Aunt, it’s not that I won’t save her, but you should know that many Divine Doctors couldn’t cure it. How could it be resolved here?"

"Moreover, if even one medicinal ingredient is wrong, the pain will only increase, and I can’t bear to see my sister suffer more."

Pei Lingling looked at Xiang Hui several times, whispering, "Mother, didn’t you find Divine Doctor Lin?"

Xiang Hui said, "This antidote is the one she gave me."

Pei Lingling’s face looked terrible, that bitch Lin Shiyao dared to trick her!

Pei Lingling endured a while longer until she took the medicine Divine Doctor Xue prepared for her.

The pain, though still present, was much relieved, not as intense as before.

At this moment, Shu’er smiled and said, "Since Sister isn’t in such pain anymore, why not stay and dine here?"

Xiang Hui said, "No, I must take Lingling back now, the family’s meal is prepared and waiting for Lingling."

Shu’er sighed, looking regretful.

"I specially asked the kitchen to prepare bird’s nest and shark fin today, but since it is so, I won’t insist on keeping you."

Pei Lingling and Xiang Hui were surprised that Shu’er was so agreeable.

Then Xiang Hui moved to Pei Yu, tears welling up in her eyes, shyly spoke a line.

"My dear, I specifically instructed the kitchen to make your favorite braised lion’s head."
