The beloved baby has a space

Emperor Minghua's real name was Qin Shuo, but this name had not been mentioned for many years. Upon hearing Empress Qin call him that in her haste, Emperor Minghua was stunned for a long time.

Seeing his reaction, Empress Qin could barely conceal the sneer in her eyes: "What, Your Majesty, are you going to punish me for my great disrespect? Why not just depose me as Empress as well, then we'll be at peace."

"Do you have to speak to me like this?" Emperor Minghua was helpless. She didn't even need to refer to herself. He didn't know what to do with Empress Qin.

"I am terrified." Empress Qin made a move to kneel down.

"Alright, alright, I won't have anyone call him here." Emperor Minghua couldn't bear to let her actually kneel down, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Empress Qin up, but she quickly dodged his hand, almost losing her balance and coughing for a long time.

"Where is Physician Wu? What did Physician Wu say? The Empress is so seriously ill, where is he? I haven't seen him!" Emperor Minghua couldn't vent his anger on Empress Qin, so he pointed at the people around him and scolded them.

Empress Qin, too lazy to watch him act crazy, took the hand of a palace maid and went back to her room, closing the palace door right in front of Emperor Minghua.

"Since you refuse to see the imperial physician, I'll invite Huai'er over. Putting everything else aside, his aunt is about to pass away, so he should at least see her one last time." Emperor Minghua said this deliberately, but upon hearing the sound of porcelain shattering in the room, a smile appeared in his eyes instead.

The fact that he still had the strength to smash porcelain shows that the situation wasn't as bad as he had imagined.

Emperor Minghua left with his hands behind his back. Before leaving, he said to Hua Hong and Lü Liu, "She refuses to see because she's being childish. You two must stay by her side and take good care of her. Even if you have to press her acupoints and force-feed her medicine, you must make sure she recovers."

"Your Majesty, actually the Empress—" Hua Hong was about to speak when Green Willow pinched her arm hard, and she swallowed the rest of her words.

Emperor Minghua gave Hua Hong a deep look, but said nothing more, and left directly.

Not long after Emperor Minghua left, five or six imperial physicians, including Physician Wu, were all sent to the outside of the Empress's bedroom, supposedly to take care of the Empress nearby.

It goes without saying that this was all Emperor Minghua's doing.

"Ever since that incident, the imperial family's attitude towards Her Majesty has changed." One maid whispered to another. They were responsible for brewing medicine in the small kitchen, which was empty at the moment, so they spoke in hushed tones.

Another palace maid in green shushed her: "You're too bold, daring to speak ill of the Emperor and the Empress behind their backs!"

Seeing that the young maid was frightened, the green-clad maid looked around and lowered her voice, saying, "But it's just the two of us here. If you really want to say something, then tell me. Remember this in the future, and don't say anything carelessly." The young maid had only been transferred to the small kitchen for a short time, and seeing how kind this green-clad elder sister was, she felt much more at ease, but she still restrained her words considerably: "I just guessed it myself. When I was working elsewhere, I heard from the ladies of other palaces that the Emperor rarely came to the Empress's palace, only on the first and fifteenth of each month, and they couldn't see her at other times."

"Isn't it because Her Majesty is ill? The Emperor and Her Majesty were a young couple, so of course we have to come and visit her more often," said the palace maid in green. "What's the difference?"

"Didn't you notice? They said that in the past, when the Emperor came to the Empress's palace, she would always claim to be ill and not see him, but she wasn't really sick. This time, she was genuinely ill, and she even dragged her ailing body out to greet him. And the Emperor, who usually flew into a rage, was unusually considerate today. He not only sent the imperial physician, but also specifically instructed us palace maids to take good care of her. The Emperor is so kind!"

Upon hearing this, the Green Maid's expression became somewhat unnatural. She felt that the imperial family and empress that the little maid was talking about were not quite right, but she still patiently led the little maid to say a lot more.

After the young palace maid finished brewing the medicine and hurriedly took the bowl to the Empress's residence, the Green Maid stood up, pulled off the small bag on her head, untied her skirt, moved her neck, and with a few snapping sounds, revealed a black tight-fitting outfit underneath.

If a palace maid were here, she would find that the green-clad palace maid from before has now transformed into a palace guard with a sword.

The guard climbed onto the roof and came face to face with several secret guards who were on duty there.

When the group saw him, they all shuddered involuntarily and glanced at the palace maid's clothes he was carrying.

Although they didn't say anything, their eyes clearly said, "I never expected you to be such a palace guard!"

Guard: "..."

Her integrity was not preserved.

The guard searched through several palaces and arrived at Emperor Minghua's bedchamber, where he reported the information he had obtained.

"So, the Empress is truly seriously ill?!" Emperor Minghua sat up abruptly, his face grave.

“That’s what the palace maid meant,” the guard said in detail. “She also said that everyone suspects that Her Majesty’s illness was not accidental, but rather that she was poisoned by some mistress in the harem.”
