Lady of the Lord From the East

After drinking a bowl of medicine, it took more than half an hour for the medicine to exert its effect. After that, Wei Wei took the king's pulse again. He felt that his pulse was more stable than before, and he knew that the detoxification effect of the medicine had begun to work.

She also added some nourishing herbs that are beneficial to the body in the detoxification decoction. The king was originally a healthy man. Now he has been bedridden for two months, and he has been in a coma for the past two days. Not only is his appearance thinner, his body is also stronger than before. There is a lot of emptiness. If you want to return to the previous level of health, you have to increase your efforts to recuperate.

There are still several hours before the next medicine, they can't stay here forever, and it's not suitable for them to stay in the master bedroom of the former queen, so the steward quietly tidied up not far from the king's bedroom. Rest room.

Wei Wei, Felix and others have already made preparations to live in the palace today. Before the king wakes up, it is impossible for the steward to let them go, so they have no opinion on such an arrangement.

"Time is in a hurry. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me, but please rest assured, the quilts are all new and very clean."

After the manager brought people over, he was still apologizing. What he said was not polite. There should have been guests in this room, but after the people who lived here before were kicked out along with other nobles, the room was cleaned up again. It has passed, but because the original guests are full, and they are likely to come back, so many things that are not so important are still in the room that are too late to clean up, and the general manager cleans up here again, just lock the personal items inside. Get up and invite them to check in again, such an arrangement is inevitably a bit inappropriate.

Wei Wei didn't choose, as long as the bed was clean.

Afterwards, the manager also said that the maids' residences were not ready for the time being, and I'm afraid they would not be able to arrange for them to rest until the evening.

This is to wait for the king to wake up and then arrange it. Now that the news of the king's unconsciousness has been blocked, in order to prevent being discovered, the general manager naturally has to arrange carefully.

Wei Wei checked the bed and made sure that it was a new one. It still smelled like the sun was burning on it. She retracted her hand in satisfaction, and turned to ask the manager, "After Your Majesty's illness, haven't the queens and princes come to visit him?"

The steward now regards her as a life-saving straw, and is still brooding about the fact that she said that the king was poisoned. When it comes to the king's illness, he naturally knows all about it: "It was there at first, but then His Majesty's sober time became shorter and shorter. Don't let them visit anymore."

It's not that the king suddenly fell into a coma now. In fact, since his body became weak, the daily sleep time began to increase, and even before he fell asleep, there were signs of being unable to sleep for a long time.

Wei Wei, "So, how long ago did you stop them from visiting?"

The steward recalled for a moment and replied, "Your Highness the Queen was about a month ago. According to the two princes, in fact, half a month ago, they could still visit the king when he was sober, but after that, the king also ordered them not to come again. ."

Although the king was a romantic one, he was really kind to his only two sons.

A month ago, the time was right again.

Wei Wei "So, did they do anything when they came to visit?"

When the general manager heard the words, she realized why she asked these "What do you mean? Next...the king's condition has something to do with them?"

Of course, Wei Wei couldn't directly admit who she was suspicious of, even if these three people were the most likely, but their identities were not something she could make such a guess without evidence.

"I just want to make sure if anything special happened before this, to understand the cause of the King's illness."

Manager "Madam, you said before that Your Majesty ate something that shouldn't be eaten, is that true?"

"Really." Wei Wei nodded, "If you come into contact with the poison in other ways, there should be some skin ulcers at the contact area. I asked the servant who took care of His Majesty before, and he said that His Majesty does not have such problems. , and his pulse also indicated that the poison he took was divided into several doses, and the king's health had always been very good, so it didn't erupt immediately at first."

She looked at Felix, who seemed to know what she was going to say, nodded, Wei Wei told the chief of the important clues she had discovered before, "Moreover, the results of my examination, the last time the king was exposed to poison should be a Months ago, and judging from his pulse, if he has been in contact since then, it is very likely that he will not be able to wait for us to come."

These words are self-evident, the chief manager's eyes are full of anger, his expression has become hideous, and he looks like he wants to catch the poisoner and beat him to death.

After a while, he calmed down. "A month ago? Please let me think about it."

A month ago, the noble ladies in the palace had not been expelled. At that time, everyone could come to visit the king, but most people had no chance to touch the king's diet.

But there are actually a few people who can do this

"A month ago, His Majesty's condition was much better than now, so the Queen and His Majesty's mistresses would come to take care of him, and His Majesty did not reject them."

He didn't mention the two princes, and Wei Wei didn't ask any questions. Although the two princes seemed suspicious, in fact, if you think about the king's death, their situation will become worse than it is now, and you can understand that this must be true. Not by any of them.

Without the protection of the king, neither of the two young princes could fight Duke Romanov.

What surprised Wei Wei was "How many mistresses? Isn't there only one?"

She heard that His Majesty the King has a new love, but how many?

When mentioning the king's emotional problems in front of the lady, the general manager's face was also uneasy. "Actually, there are three."

It is very popular among nobles to have lovers, both men and women have them, and there are many more than one. It is not uncommon for a king to have several mistresses, but generally speaking, no one should arrange all the mistresses to live together.

However, their three mistresses of His Majesty the King all lived in the palace, and they knew each other's identities very well.

Because they are all noble ladies with status, or noble ladies with still husbands, two countesses and one baroness.

Among them, the new love Wei Wei heard about was the baroness, and the remaining two countess were the king's mistresses a long time ago, and they were the ones who made Mirabelle jealous before.

It is worth mentioning that these two mistresses were not originally countesses, and their husbands' counts were bestowed by the king after they became the king's mistresses.

This kind of disguised selling of wives for glory sounds incredible and should be despised, but it is not uncommon in the aristocratic circle, and it is tacit, even the husbands of the parties are not ashamed of it, and some people even He will also be proud of having a good wife whom the upper echelons like.

Therefore, in addition to the queen, the three mistresses are equally suspect.

After answering the question, the manager automatically targeted the new mistress, the Baroness. He felt that compared with other old people who had been with the king for several years, the appearance of this new mistress was too coincidental. , is naturally the most likely person to start.

The queen, who was suspected by Wei Wei, was not very suspicious in the eyes of the general manager.

After all, everyone knows that Queen Mirabelle has no children and has a very bad relationship with the two princes. Her status in the court is entirely entrusted to the king. If the king dies, her queen mother's future life may be to move I spent the rest of my life in a monastery.

As for Queen Mirabelle's conspiracy with Duke Romanov, it is even more impossible. Who does not know that the unexpected death of the queen's ex-husband is related to Duke Romanov. If her ex-husband did not die unexpectedly, the current queen is The Duchess, and the wife of the third-in-line successor, what else is there to do with the Duke Romanov.

So compared to the king, the queen may prefer that the duke is dead.

In order to dispel Wei Wei's doubts, the manager explained it like this, but even so, Wei Wei still felt that the matter had something to do with the queen.

But anyway, this is a matter of the royal family. She, a doctor, has already reminded her, so she will not participate.

The steward got up and left shortly after, telling them before leaving that he would send someone to the Earl of Williams to help them bring their luggage.

Wei Wei "Then let Meng Na go with you."

Among the five maids that Wei Wei brought this time, Kama was in charge of decoction. Penny was used by Wei Wei. She was more at ease with her, and when Wei Wei was in the capital before, she also brought her with her. Penny's, inevitably someone will remember her.

When Meng Na heard Wei Wei call her, she stood up from behind her and saluted the manager. After the latter was amazed by her beautiful appearance, she couldn't help but look at Felix.

Such a beautiful embryo, I am afraid she will become the mistress of Earl Williams in the future, right?

They were all men, and Felix couldn't see his dirty thoughts. He looked back with a blank face, and the manager withdrew his eyes with a guilty conscience.

After the manager left, Wei Wei also planned to take a nap, they were exhausted all the way.

She said to Penny, "You go to Karma and take turns with her for a rest."

Kama's medicine has been boiled to the third round, and it is almost over, but after that, she will stay there to guard the medicine, because Wei Wei is worried about letting other people watch, for fear of their manipulation, including the manager.

She said to the remaining two little maids, "If you are tired, just sit on the sofa for a while, you don't have to hold on."

"Good lady."

She looked at Felix again, and his son who was in good spirits in his arms.

Felix's physical strength is better than hers. He is not tired at the moment. He smiled and said, "Go to sleep, I will play with Anthony."

Wei Wei nodded, "If you want to rest, replace me."

They didn't bring their luggage or changed clothes, and Wei Wei only planned to take a nap, so she didn't take off her clothes, lay down directly in the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

When she woke up, not only the luggage had been delivered, but the dinner was also delivered, but after they had finished their meal in the afternoon, Wei Wei had just woken up again, but she wasn't hungry yet.

She simply took a few bites, leaving the white bread in the meal to wait until she was hungry in the evening, and the rest that was deliberately left untouched were distributed to a few maids who were not full at noon.

Asked Felix when it was time to feed the king a second bowl of medicine.
