The moonlight is bright and clear, and the night is as cool as water.
Hu Yue'er stood on the steps, looking in the direction of Qianqing Palace. The emperor hadn't been to Xiuhe Palace for several days. She didn't know whether she was tired of her, or... seeing other concubines, she was very anxious.
"Ma'am, it's late at night." Xiangqiao stood behind her and reminded in a low voice.
"The emperor won't come tonight again." Hu Yue'er sighed, she just wanted to see him once, but it's hard to even meet him now.
Knowing that he doesn't have her in his heart, she still can't keep her heart, even if he takes advantage of her, she will be happy.
Xiangqiao didn't know how to comfort Hu Yue'er, so he could only say in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't be sad, the emperor must have been too busy to come to Xiuhe Palace, the slaves have inquired about it, the emperor has been cleaning the palace all the time, and he has no time to come Come to the harem."
This is the only reason for Hu Yueer to comfort herself.
"Go in." Hu Yue'er whispered, she will continue to wait, as long as the emperor does not favor other concubines, he will come to Xiuhe Palace one day.
Xiangqiao said, "Today the House of Internal Affairs sent some blood swallows, and the slaves stewed some. Madam might as well eat some before resting. You haven't eaten much today."
Hu Yue'er laughed, "Before, I couldn't even eat the worst bird's nest, but now even the blood bird's nest is sent to this palace."
"Who in the palace doesn't know that you are the most important person in the emperor's heart, and all good things are naturally sent to you." Xiangqiao said with a smile, feeling happy for Hu Yue'er in his heart.
"The person at the top of the emperor's heart..." Hu Yue'er just shook her head and smiled when she heard the words. Only she understood the bitterness of it. The emperor favored her and entrusted the power of the palace to her. This does not mean that she has entered the heart of the emperor.
She still felt that the person in the emperor's heart was the queen.
Xiangqiao brought the blood swallow that was warming at the side, and gave Hu Yue'er a bowl, "My lady, the blood swallow is the best for the skin, there are eight taels of it, my lady's skin will definitely become smooth and tender, Even the emperor can't put it down."
Hu Yueer's cheeks flushed, and she gave Xiangqiao a bad look, but when she thought of serving the emperor, her eyes darkened, as if... all along, she never had the true feeling of serving the emperor.
Is it her problem, or is something wrong
Hu Yue'er was absorbed in eating the blood swallow, and the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became. The emperor has been to Xiuhe Palace several times, and she also served the emperor, why doesn't she have any memory
Didn't she actually serve the emperor at all
This thought flashed in her mind, Hu Yue'er was shocked and her face turned pale.
She recalled the first time she attended bedtime, the emperor never touched her, but asked the respect room to record her bedside visit...
"I don't want to eat." Hu Yue'er ate a few mouthfuls, her heart was so stuffy that she lost her appetite at all.
Xiangqiao didn't know what Hu Yue'er was worried about, but thought she was missing the emperor, "Madam, if you miss the emperor, why don't you go to Qianqing Palace tomorrow to deliver soup to the emperor?"
Hu Yue'er shook her head and smiled wryly, "The emperor won't like me to go to Qing Palace."
"Didn't the empress go there before..." Xiangqiao said in a low voice, "My empress, this way the emperor will know that you miss him."
"Stop talking." Hu Yue'er was upset, she stood up and wanted to enter the bedroom, but she walked a few steps, suddenly the world turned around, she only felt that her eyes were dark, and she didn't know anything.
Xiangqiao was so frightened by such a sudden change that she screamed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Hu Yue'er's face was pale, her lips were bloodless, she looked as if she was about to die, Xiangqiao yelled, "Imperial doctor, hurry to get the imperial doctor."
Eunuch Fu, who was serving outside the Qianqing Palace, soon received the news that Concubine Shu wanted to invite an imperial doctor. He was shocked. Could it be that Concubine Shu came up with a trick to deliberately lure the emperor over
"What happened to Concubine Shu?" Eunuch Fu asked the little eunuch in a low voice.
The little eunuch lowered his voice, "I heard that he was poisoned."
Eunuch Fu was shocked, "Go to Xiuhe Palace and watch it, and report immediately if there is any movement."
He turned around and entered the main hall. Murong Zhan was still reviewing the memorial and did not raise his head when he heard footsteps, "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, Xiuhe Palace urgently invited the imperial doctor into the palace, saying that Concubine Shu was poisoned." Eunuch Fu did not dare to hide it, and reported the truth to Mo Rongzhan.
The ink brush in Mo Rongzhan's hand stopped, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Concubine Shu is poisoned?"
Eunuch Fu lowered his head, "Yes, the imperial doctor has entered the palace and is treating Concubine Shu."
The palace is heavily guarded, whether it is the concubines or the things he uses, all have been inspected by special personnel, and no poison can easily enter the palace. Why did Concubine Shu get poisoned
"Go and see." Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice, if Concubine Shu was really poisoned, he really wanted to know who would dare to poison the palace.
The Xiuhe Palace was already in chaos at this time. After the imperial doctor came, he was shocked to see Hu Yueer's face, and now he could only keep feeding Hu Yueer medicine, hoping to dilute the poison she had ingested.
Murong Zhan strode in, and all the imperial doctors and maids in the room knelt down. They were all terrified. The one who was poisoned now was the emperor's favorite concubine. If something happened, they would definitely be buried with him. .
"How is Concubine Shu?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.
Courtyard Gong gave a salute, and said in a low voice, "Return to the emperor, the bird's nest eaten by Concubine Shu is poisonous, but fortunately not much was eaten, so it will not be fatal."
Mo Rongzhan cast his eyes on the sealed bird's nest on the table, and ordered in a deep voice to Eunuch Fu, "Tell Shen Yi to enter the palace."
"Your Majesty, these bird's nests were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs today." Xiangqiao cried.
"When will Concubine Shu wake up?" Mo Rongzhan asked Gong Yuanjuan expressionlessly.
Gong Yuanjue said in a low voice, "I have given the antidote to Concubine Shu, but the poison is too strong, and it may be harmful to Concubine Shu's body."
Murongzhan raised his eyes and glanced at everyone in the dormitory. Except for Gong Yuanjuan, there was another imperial doctor, and the others were palace servants from Xiuhe Palace. He gave Eunuch Fu a wink. All the palace people in Xiuhe Palace were suppressed.
"Your Majesty, I did not poison you, I have been wronged." All the maids cried out, and their mouths were gagged.
Xiangqiao's face turned pale, and she looked at Mo Rongzhan in horror, and then at Hu Yue'er. She knew that unless Concubine Shu couldn't save her now, she only hoped that Concubine Shu would get well soon, so that her life could be saved. Can live.
"I don't want to say anything about Concubine Shu's poisoning until the murderer is found." Mo Rongzhan looked at Gong Yuanjue and said calmly.
Gong Yuanjuan and another imperial doctor immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, I will definitely not reveal anything."
