Chapter 375 Give Up
When Su Qingqing said this, Jixiang's hands froze for a moment.
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "I remembered some things from the past. In the past...she might have wanted me to die."
Jixiang didn't know how to respond to this.
Even though Su Qingqing and Su Jinghe ended up in that situation, she knew in her heart that the incident was still like a thorn in Su Qingqing's heart.
Jixiang didn't say anything, so Su Qingqing continued, "I remember that before I went to war, she gave me an amulet. She said that she got it from the Big Buddha Temple and it was blessed. It's very effective, so she asked me to wear it."
Jixiang felt that there might be something wrong with the amulet , and she almost dared not breathe.
Su Qingqing put her face close to Jixiang, looked at the gauze curtain above her head, and said slowly: "I always carried that amulet with me until that day when I was shot in the back during the attack.
I remember it clearly. Someone shot an arrow through my vest and I fell off my horse. Zhao Kangjie and Wang Yu were beside me at the time. They reacted quickly and pulled me onto the horse.
When I was treated later, I was already unconscious and didn't know anything. But after I was pulled onto the horse, I could feel a burning and piercing pain on the arrow wound in my heart.
I didn’t think much about it before, but just now I thought that the amulet must have been wet by the blood and stuck to my chest.
There might be something in that amulet."
There is something.
What could it be!
It was nothing more than something that accelerated the death of Su Qingqing.
When Jixiang heard this, his fists clenched. His eyes, which were already red from crying, became even redder because of anger.
Is this even possible?
That's the truth.
The anger was stuck in Jixiang's throat. He felt his throat was dry and painful, but he couldn't utter a word.
Su Qingqing was calm and composed, and didn't seem to be upset at all. "I never doubted the amulet before, and I don't have any evidence now, but I have made up my mind."
Jixiang felt that Su Qingqing now was like a little kitten.
I want to be comforted, I want to be recognized, I want to be coaxed.
As the two were talking, there was a noise outside, followed by Doctor Sun's voice, "Miss Jixiang?"
He lowered his voice slightly, as if afraid of disturbing Su Qingqing.
Jixiang glanced at Su Qingqing and said, "Doctor Sun prepared some medicine."
Su Qingqing moved her body and moved away a little. "Let him come in and take my pulse."
With this interruption, the previous topic came to an end.
Jixiang got up and went outside to bring in Doctor Sun. Because Su Qingqing had cried so much and her hair was disheveled and her makeup was untidy, the pulse diagnosis was conducted through the curtain.
"It's just a slight miscarriage, but it's not a big deal. I'll make some pregnancy-maintaining medicine and send it to you later. Just take three or four doses."
Perhaps he was really frightened by this incident. Doctor Sun, who usually seldom expressed his opinions in front of Su Qingqing, hesitated for a moment but finally couldn't help himself.
"Although your majesty has a healthy body, she is much more fragile after being pregnant. Pregnant women are prone to depression. If your majesty has something in her heart for a long time, it is more likely to cause depression and poor blood circulation than ordinary people.
Even if it does not affect the stability of the fetus, it will affect other aspects of the fetus’ health.”
After a pause, Doctor Sun closed his eyes and made up his mind.
"Before, there was a person who was always angry when she was pregnant, and then she died."
Jixiang standing nearby almost burst out laughing.
Su Qingqing glared at Jixiang through the curtain.
She knew Dr. Sun's good intentions, "I'm sorry to have frightened everyone this time, but it won't happen again."
Her voice was still hoarse, and her humble tone made Doctor Sun feel a little terrified, and he hurriedly said, "I have overstepped my bounds."
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "You would only say that if you treat me as a relative."
Doctor Sun's eyes were a little wet. Perhaps he was not used to Su Qingqing's tender approach for a while, so he stood up in a hurry, "Your Majesty, please get up and have some food. The kitchen has prepared medicinal food. I will go and make medicine for your pregnancy."
After saying that, he packed up his medicine box and left.
When he reached the door, he was still worried, so he added, "Whatever the queen has on her mind that she doesn't want to tell others, at least tell Jixiang and let it out."
"knew."
After having a high fever and crying all over, Su Qingqing ate her breakfast while taking a bath.
After eating and drinking, I came out of the bathtub refreshed, changed into dry clothes, felt refreshed, and my mind was much clearer.
In that dream, the person she regarded as her mother asked her to go back.
The most important thing for a person is to listen to advice.
Su Qingqing decided to be a person who listens to others' advice.
She no longer dwelled on the past. Whether the woman in the well was a stranger or her biological mother, she would not investigate.
Not dealing with old accounts does not mean not dealing with new accounts at hand.
Since being detained again by Su Qingqing, Duke Xue had been waiting for Su Qingqing's next interrogation. However, he waited for seven or eight days without getting any result, until finally he received a pair of shackles and a carriage to the capital.
When a man who had been locked up in jail for seven or eight days saw the light of day again, he was already shackled and locked in a carriage.
The carriage was escorted by Su's army directly to Kyoto.
The charge was simple: embezzlement of disaster relief donations.
Su Qingqing did not mention the various families, the contempt for the imperial power and the disregard for human life. She only mentioned one thing: corruption,
As for the charge of embezzlement, several merchants in Huicheng jointly wrote a complaint. Su Qingqing sent people to copy several copies of the complaint in advance. She kept the originals herself, sent one copy to Kyoto, and sent the rest to the places that had donated money to Huicheng.
When Guangdong and Guangxi suffered from floods, people from almost all over the country donated money and supplies.
Su Qingqing wrote clearly what happened to the donated money and how the donated items were handled.
As soon as this move was made, there was an uproar in the government and the country.
The anger of the people across the country was ignited, and even if the Eight Great Families wanted to protect Duke Xue, they had no idea how to do it.
The noise was really too loud.
As for those whom Duke Xue had raised over the years, they knew that Duke Xue would be escorted back to Kyoto, but they had no idea how to hijack the prison van along the way.
Duke Xue made his fortune from the national crisis, which was the bottom line of the people of the whole country. He stepped on the bottom line of the people. The consequence was that his prison carriage set out from Huicheng all the way back to Kyoto, and for almost twelve , there were always people chasing the car and cursing along the way.
From one area to the next, there is a seamless connection.
It's not just one people, not just two people, there are groups of people everywhere.
How can Duke Xue's men rescue the prisoner? If they really do, wouldn't that confirm Duke Xue's guilt?
Moreover, if he succeeded, it would be fine, but if he failed, it would be even worse.
