1134. Chapter 1134 Poisoning

The moon is bright and clear, and the night is as cool as water.

Hu Yue'er stood on the steps, looking faintly in the direction of Qianqing Palace. The emperor had not been to Xiuhe Palace for several days. She didn't know whether she was tired of her or... she was attracted to other concubines. She was in a very anxious mood.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night." Xiangqiao reminded her quietly, standing behind her.

"The Emperor will not come tonight." Hu Yue'er sighed. She just wanted to see him, but now it was difficult to even see him.

Even though she knew he didn't have her in his heart, she still couldn't guard her heart, and she was happy to be used by him.

Xiangqiao didn't know how to comfort Hu Yue'er, and could only say in a low voice, "Mother, don't be sad. The emperor must have been too busy to come to Xiuhe Palace. I have inquired about it, and the emperor has been in Qianqing Palace and has no time to come. Come to the harem.”

This was Hu Yue'er's only reason to comfort herself.

"Go in." Hu Yue'er whispered, she would continue to wait. As long as the emperor did not favor other concubines, he would come to Xiuhe Palace one day.

Xiangqiao said, "Today the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent some blood swallows. I asked you to stew some. Why don't you eat a little before resting? You haven't eaten much today."

Hu Yue'er smiled and said, "I couldn't even eat the worst bird's nest before, but now even the blood bird's nest is sent to me."

"Who in the palace doesn't know that you are the one who is dear to the Emperor's heart, so naturally all the good things will be sent to you." Xiangqiao said with a smile, feeling happy for Hu Yue'er in his heart. This can be regarded as the end of all hardships, isn't it?

"The person who is dear to the emperor's heart..." Hu Yue'er just shook her head and smiled when she heard this. Only she understood the bitterness. The emperor favored her and handed over the power of the palace to her. This did not mean that she had entered the emperor's heart.

She still felt that the person in the emperor's heart was the queen.

Xiangqiao brought the warm blood swallows on the side and filled a bowl for Hu Yue'er, "My dear, the blood swallows are the best for your skin. There are eight taels of them. Your skin will definitely become smooth and tender. Even the emperor couldn’t put it down.”

Hu Yue'er's cheeks turned red and she gave Xiangqiao an angry look. However, the look in her eyes darkened at the thought of serving the emperor. It seemed that... she had never experienced the true feeling of serving the emperor. She didn't seem to experience sexual intercourse.

Is it her problem, or is there 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 had been to Xiuhe Palace several times, and she had also slept with him. Why didn't she have any memory?

Didn't she actually serve the emperor at all?

This thought flashed through her mind. Hu Yue'er was shocked and her face turned pale.

She recalled the first time she went to bed. The emperor had never touched her at all, but asked the Jingshifang to record her going to bed...

"I don't want to eat it." After Hu Yue'er took a few mouthfuls, her heart felt clogged and she had no appetite at all.

Xiangqiao didn't know what Hu Yue'er was worried about. He just thought she missed the emperor. "My queen, 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 bitterly, "The emperor won't like me to go to Qianqing Palace."

"Didn't the Queen have been there before..." Xiangqiao whispered, "Empress, this way the Emperor will know that you are missing him."

"Stop talking." Hu Yue'er was upset. She stood up and wanted to walk into the dormitory, but after taking a few steps, the world suddenly started to spin. She only felt that her eyes were getting dark, and she didn't know anything anymore.

Xiangqiao was so frightened by this sudden change that she screamed, "Empress, Empress, what's wrong with you?"

Hu Yue'er's face was gray and her lips were completely bloodless. She looked like she was about to die. Xiangqiao shouted, "Imperial doctor, go and ask for the imperial doctor quickly."

Eunuch Fu, who was waiting outside the Qianqing Palace, soon received the news that Concubine Shu wanted to ask for an imperial doctor. He was shocked. Could it be that Concubine Shu had come up with a trick to lure the emperor there?

"What's wrong with Concubine Shu?" Eunuch Fu asked the young eunuch in a low voice.

The little eunuch lowered his voice and said, "I heard he was poisoned."

Eunuch Fu was shocked, "Quickly go to Xiuhe Palace to guard. If there is any movement, report immediately."

He turned around and entered the main hall. Mo Rongzhan was still reviewing the memorials. He didn't look up when he heard footsteps, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty, Xiuhe Palace urgently asked the imperial doctor to come 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 pen in Mo Rongzhan's hand paused, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Concubine Shu was poisoned?"

Eunuch Fu lowered his head, "Yes, the imperial doctor has entered the palace and is treating Concubine Shu."

The palace was heavily guarded. Whether it was the concubines in the harem or the things he used, they were all inspected by dedicated personnel. No poison could easily enter the palace. Why was the concubine Shu poisoned?

"Go and have a look." Murong Zhan said in a deep voice. If Concubine Shu was really poisoned, he really wanted to know who dared to poison the palace.

Xiuhe Palace was in chaos at this time. When the imperial doctor came, he was shocked when he saw Hu Yue'er's face. Now he could only keep pouring medicine into Hu Yue'er, hoping to dilute the poison she had taken into her stomach.

Mo Rongzhan strode in. All the imperial doctors and palace maids in the room knelt down. They were all frightened. The one who was poisoned now was the emperor's most beloved concubine. If there was any evil, they would all be buried with her. .

"How is Concubine Shu?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.

Judge Gong bowed and said in a low voice, "Back to the Emperor, the bird's nest that Concubine Shu ate was poisonous. Fortunately, she didn't take much, so it won't be fatal."

Murong Zhan turned his gaze to the sealed bird's nest on the table and gave a deep command to Eunuch Fu, "Send word that Shen Yi has entered 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 Judge Gong expressionlessly.

Magistrate Gong said in a low voice, "I have given the antidote to Concubine Shu, but the poison is too strong and may be harmful to Concubine Shu's body."

Mo Rongzhan raised his eyes and glanced at everyone in the dormitory. Except for Gong Yuanjian and another imperial doctor, the others were all palace servants of Xiuhe Palace. He gave Eunuch Fu a wink. Eunuch Fu understood it and immediately asked people to go first. All the people in Xiuhe Palace were suppressed.

"Your Majesty, this slave did not poison me. This slave is unjust." The maids screamed and were immediately gagged.

Xiangqiao's face turned pale, and she looked at Mo Rongzhan in horror, and then at Hu Yue'er. She knew that unless Empress Shu Fei could not save her now, she only hoped that Empress Shu Fei would get well soon, so that her life could be saved. Live.

"I don't want to make it public about Concubine Shu's poisoning until the murderer is found." Murong Zhan looked at Judge Gong and said calmly.

Judge Gong and another imperial physician immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, I will definitely not reveal a single word."
