Chapter 1425 Poisoning

Seeing Bai Qingyan holding the tea cup thoughtfully, she just responded casually, and Chuntao urged her in a low voice: "It's less than two hours until the morning meeting. The eldest lady still needs to rest for a while. We won't wait until tomorrow." You have energy.”

Bai Qingyan nodded, took a sip of tea, and asked Wei Zhong: "Is there any information that Shen Tianzhi sent back?"

"Your Majesty, you forgot... you handed over the matter of gambling on the country to the King of Zhen and the King of Protector. Later, the zhezi sent back by Lord Shen was directly sent to the King of Zhen's Mansion." Wei Zhong said with a smile, "Last time The King of Zhen told His Majesty that your Majesty’s state affairs are complicated. Since the matter of gambling on the country has been entrusted to the King of Zhen and King Protector, and His Majesty is in control of the overall situation, don’t worry about small things.”

Bai Qingyan then remembered that Ayu had told her before.

There was a smile in her eyes, her brothers were back... She was no longer the only one to support her, her brothers were sharing the burden with her, and suddenly Bai Qingyan was still a little uncomfortable with it.

"Well, go to sleep..." Bai Qingyan smiled and smoothed her long hair with her five fingers, got up and walked towards the bed.

Inside the hanging brocade bed tent, there were two children who were sleeping soundly. Bai Qingyan gently touched the two children's faces, tucked the quilt for them, and lay down outside the two children.

With the help of her younger brother and younger sister, Bai Qingyan simply gave up and delegated everything to her younger brothers and sisters. However, she did not assign anything to Bai Jinxiu because she was considering Bai Jinxiu and Qin Lang and hoping that her brother and her family would be apart for too long. The task was to leave Bai Jinxiu in charge of the school affairs office.

During these days, Bai Qingyan had a rare and relaxing time.

It was almost August 15th, except for Jintong who had not come back. Nowadays, it is rare for so many people from the Bai family to be in the metropolis. It was necessary to get together, so Bai Qingyan took the Dong family back to the palace from the King's Palace. Let Mr. Dong take charge of the preparations for the family banquet on August 15th.

Although there is no state banquet on August 15th, only a family banquet, the Bai family still has to invite them.

Speaking of the Bai clan, Bai Qingyan remembered that Bai Qingping had been ill for two days and had not come to court, so he said to Wei Zhong: "Go there in person and bring supplements to see how Bai Qingping is doing. Right?" Now...bring the imperial doctor with you!"

Bai Qingyan knew something about Bai Qingping's temperament and would never take leave easily. He must have been seriously ill...

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of it now!" Wei Zhong said.

An hour later, when Wei Zhong came back to resume his duties, Bai Jinxiu sent the list of people behind the officials who had been found to make things difficult for Shen Tian by the school affairs office to Bai Qingyan's desk.

"All the ministers and ministers are involved. This Shen Tianzhi... seemed to have offended a lot of people because he was promoted too quickly." Bai Qingyan's face was dark.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was not like the previous Jin Dynasty, where promotions were based on seniority and what position one had. As early as when Bai Qingyan showed Dong Yaozhen's test paper, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel should have understood what Bai Qingyan was thinking. The Minister of Staff...if he was not petty-minded, he was deliberately going against her as the emperor.

"The Minister of Civil Affairs found an excuse to change." Bai Qingyan clicked on the list.

"Eldest sister, don't worry. As long as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is not really a white jade, you can find it within three days from Tou Jinxiu." Bai Jinxiu said.

Bai Qingyan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, okay... I won't keep you in the palace, go back and accompany my brother!"

The smile on Bai Jinxiu's eyebrows deepened when she mentioned Brother Wang: "Okay, eldest sister, don't be too tired!"

"Chun Tao...bring the things over here!" Bai Qingyan turned to Chuntao with a smile.

Chuntao responded and quickly brought over a small bamboo basket, which contained some gadgets that children like.

"These are some of the things that the children over there like to play with!" Bai Qingyan whispered to Bai Jinxiu, "They are all...sent by Shen Tianzhi!"

These gadgets were sent by Xiao Rongyan, saying they were for a few children to play with. Nanny Tong selected some that the little prince and princess could not play with now, and gave them to the little eight, Bai Wanqing and Brother Wang. Son.

Now that Xiao Rongyan was no longer with Bai Qingyan and her children, she felt a heavy debt in her heart and wanted to send anything interesting she saw to Bai Qingyan and her two children.

"Second Miss, there is also a recipe for making sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Young Biao likes. The old slave heard from Aunt Luo who came into the palace yesterday to bring soup to the eldest girl. Young Biao was greedy for this bite after she returned. Now, Little Biao The young master is not in the palace, and the old slave will make it cold and not taste good if it is sent to others. Why not write down the recipe, and the second girl can ask the cook in the house to make it for the young cousin to eat!" Mammy Tong smiled. explain.

The young cousin that Nanny Tong talks about is Brother Wang.

"Mom, let me worry about it!" Bai Jinxiu thanked her.

After sending Bai Jinxiu away, Wei Zhong stepped forward and whispered to Bai Qing: "Your Majesty, Bai Qingping is on leave at home...not because he is sick, but...to attend to the clan leader's illness."

"What's wrong with the clan leader?" Bai Qingyan picked up the hot tea and found it strange. Bai Qihe's health had always been good.

"It's... poisoning." Wei Zhong whispered.

Bai Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at Wei Zhong: "Poisoned? Can the cause be found out?"

"It was the clan leader's daughter who administered the poison, but...she didn't seem to know that it was poison. She only regarded it as a drug that would prevent men from having children in this life." Wei Zhong said in a very low voice.

Bai Qingyan's expression was astonished.

"Bai Qingping made the decision on this matter, and it has been covered up tightly. All the slaves in the Bai Mansion who knew about the matter have been beaten to death. In the past two days... Bai Qingping stayed in the Bai Mansion to deal with this matter, but it was said to the outside world that He was sick because the old slave went there in person. He didn't want to deceive the king, so he told the old slave about the matter. After all, it was a family scandal, Bai Qingping said... He didn't want to make a big fuss."

Wei Zhong stood respectfully beside Bai Qingyan and said in a slow voice: "The reason seems to be that the patriarch intends to find a wife with a pure family background. Because... the patriarch is the patriarch of the Bai clan, so many families want to give their daughters to Married to the clan leader, the clan leader's daughter was worried that the new mistress would threaten her status as a legitimate daughter if she became pregnant, so she wanted to give medicine to the clan leader to make her infertile before the new mistress decided to marry her. Who knew... this unborn heir? The medicine turned out to be a chronic poison."

"Did you get the medicine from her mother Fang?" Bai Qingyan asked.

Wei Zhong nodded: "Just as your Majesty expected..."

"How is the clan leader doing now?" Bai Qingyan asked.

"Fortunately, he was discovered in time, but after this incident... I'm afraid the patriarch's body is not as good as before!" Wei Zhong told Bai Qingyan truthfully what the imperial doctor said.

This Fang family is also a demon, and he actually used his own daughter to poison Bai Qihe!

Even if she hated Bai Qihe because of Xiu, she should not let her daughter poison her father.
