I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 219 Can’t Wait
"It's too late for me to worry." Xianglu said with a smile, "The master has been wronged and suffered in vain for so many days. Now that the truth has come out, I don't know how much His Majesty regrets it. I'm sure he's already on his way."

"You talk too much." Dou Jingwan glared at her, and thinking of Xu Rushuang's current fate, a sneer slowly appeared at the corner of her lips.

When His Majesty lifts the ban on her, she will teach that bitch a lesson!
The cold wind blew the clouds in the sky, and before anyone knew it, two hours had passed.

The people in Huaqing Palace gradually became silent from their excitement, and Xianglu kept sending people to check at the door.

The young eunuch made several empty trips, and each time he came back he said the same thing, "Miss, I didn't see anyone coming our way."

"Why hasn't she come yet?" Xiang Lu bit her lip and glanced into the inner room. It seemed that she could see the beautiful woman sleeping on the bed through the layers of gauze curtains.

If the master wakes up and doesn't see the imperial edict restoring his throne, I'm afraid everyone in the palace will be in trouble.

She thought for a moment, handed a white purse to the eunuch, and whispered, "Find out something quickly."

The young eunuch nodded, put his purse in his pocket and went out.

Xianglu paced back and forth anxiously at the door, and after half an hour she finally waited for the little eunuch to come back.

She couldn't wait to go over and ask, "How is it? What news have you heard?"

The young eunuch was running out of breath, his throat was very dry. He swallowed hard before saying, "This morning, the Yang-Yangxin Palace summoned the imperial physician."

"Call the imperial physician?" Xianglu frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know what it's for?"

The young eunuch shook his head.

Xiang Lu held his hand and took two steps, then asked, "Where is the imperial decree for the master's restoration? Is there any movement from the Jingshifang?"

The young eunuch continued to shake his head.

Seeing this, Xianglu looked around the cleaned palace. Could it be that it was all a false alarm?

The young eunuch asked, "Does the young lady have any other instructions?"

"You go and watch the door, and report back immediately if anyone comes." Xianglu still held a glimmer of hope.

The young eunuch took the order and left.

"Xianglu." A shout came from the hall and Dou Jingwan woke up.

Xianglu clenched her hands vigorously, calmed herself down, and then lifted the heavy door curtain and went in.

Dou Jingwan leaned on the soft pillow and said to Xianglu when she saw him, "Bring me some tea."

Xianglu turned around and went to the table to pour tea, holding it with both hands.

Dou Jingwan took two sips to moisten her throat and looked up at her: "Has the imperial edict arrived?"

"The imperial edict..." Xiang Lu lowered her eyes and dared not look at her, her eyes rolling around, "He didn't come."

"Didn't come?" Dou Jingwan was startled, her eyebrows knitted tightly, and she asked sternly, "Why didn't they come? Have you sent someone to the Jingshifang to find out if it's that bunch of lazy bones who are not doing their job well?"

"Master, calm down." Xiang Lu knelt down. "We only heard that the Yangxin Palace summoned the imperial physician this morning. There is no other news."

"No, how could there be no..." Dou Jingwan's face turned pale, her slender white fingers clenched the quilt, and she bent over and coughed violently.

"My Lord!" Xianglu hurried forward to pat her back, "Don't worry, maybe His Majesty is too busy with things in the past, so he can't spare the time. Let's wait a little longer."

She felt guilty even saying this. The government offices were all sealed, so how busy could the former dynasty be?
Dou Jingwan leaned on the edge of the bed, as if she was going to cough out her lungs.

The violent coughing sound echoed in the hall and it took a long time to stop.

"Master, please take care of yourself." Xianglu poured another cup of tea. "The imperial edict will arrive sooner or later."

"You!" Dou Jingwan raised her hand and grabbed her wrist, her delicate eyebrows and eyes tinged with a bit of anger, "Go to Youlan Residence immediately and pass on the message."

She couldn't just wait!

Xianglu was just about to ask what the message was when a message came from outside, and Qiusui arrived.

Xianglu hurriedly helped Dou Jingwan lie down, and the gauze curtains fell down layer by layer, covering the figure on the bed.

Qiu Sui walked around the screen and came in. Xianglu greeted her and bowed with a smile.

Qiu Sui returned a half-bow, turned her head to look at the bed, and asked, "Are you feeling better today, my lord?" "Still short of breath, weak all over, and coughed for half an hour just now. I took the medicine and just went to bed." Xiang Lu looked worried, "I drank bowl after bowl of medicine, but it didn't work at all."

Qiu Sui glanced at the small table beside the bed and didn't see the medicine bowl.

She turned her eyes slightly and comforted Xianglu softly, "Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. You will get better if you take care of yourself slowly."

Xianglu nodded, "I hope so."

Qiu Sui walked towards the bed and said as she walked, "The Queen asked me to come and visit you, I'll take a look before I go back and report."

She reached out to lift the gauze curtain. Xianglu subconsciously wanted to stop her, but Qiusui was faster than her and had lifted the gauze curtain before she could stop her.

There was no light in the inner room, and the light was dim.

Qiu Sui leaned over to look into the bed, only to see the person sleeping on the bed facing inward, with half of her snow-white face exposed, which seemed to be glowing against the dark bedding.

"My dear?" She called out softly twice, but the person on the bed did not respond at all.

Xianglu explained softly, "Don't blame me, Auntie. The master has taken the medicine and is in a deep sleep. If you have anything to say, please tell me. I will tell you when the master wakes up."

"I see that the lady has lost a lot of weight, so you should serve her more attentively." Qiu Sui let down the gauze curtain and turned to look at Xiang Lu.

Xianglu responded awkwardly, not daring to refute.

Qiu Sui said, "I have to go back and report. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, auntie." Xianglu sent the person to the door, and only turned back and closed the door after seeing the person walk away.

She lifted the curtain again and tried to reach out to help Dou Jingwan up, but Dou Jingwan glared at her and said, "Waste!"

Xianglu pursed her lips and said nothing, feeling a little aggrieved.

She didn't want to greet Qiu Sui with a smile, but things were different now. Her master was no longer Concubine Rong, but Qiu Sui was still the Empress's confidant. How could she afford to offend her?
Dou Jingwan got angry seeing her like this, and her throat felt itchy. She coughed twice and waved to Xianglu to come closer.

Xianglu approached cautiously.

Dou Jingwan whispered a few words in her ear and urged her, "Hurry and do it."

Changchun Palace.

The beaded curtain made a slight sound. Queen Zhong looked up when she heard the sound, glanced at Qiu Sui who came in, and then lowered her head to continue reading.

Qiu Sui walked over and massaged her shoulders, saying softly, "Noble Dou's illness has improved a lot, but I'm afraid she's still angry."

Empress Zhong glanced at her sideways, and Qiu Sui smiled: "I see that Huaqing Palace is very clean from top to bottom."

Hearing this, Queen Zhong's eyes moved slightly, she said "hmm" softly, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Qiu Sui looked at her and asked softly, "Madam, can she wait?"

Queen Zhong asked back, "What do you think?"

Qiu Sui thought for a moment and uttered one word: "Difficult."

Empress Zhong did not comment on this. She lowered her head and read two pages of the book. Suddenly she asked, "Is your life peaceful in Yiran Garden?"

Qiu Sui curled her lips: "I don't think I'm at peace."

The tone was quite indignant.

Empress Zhong turned to look at her, and Qiu Sui took the opportunity to ask the doubts that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time: "Your Majesty, why didn't you eliminate the hidden danger as soon as possible?"

While it's still early, she could just find a reason to get rid of him. She believed that with her queen's ability, His Majesty would not be able to find any fault with her.

Queen Zhong put down the book, looked at her seriously for a moment, and said, "If you want to make someone disappear quietly in this palace, there are many ways."

Qiu Sui was even more confused, "Then why not..."

Before she could finish her question, Empress Zhong raised her hand to interrupt her and asked, "Who has the greatest power in this palace?"

Qiu Sui said without thinking: "Of course it is your Majesty."

"Now that you know this, don't ask such stupid questions again." Queen Zhong picked up the book again and ordered, "The tea is weak, change it."
