Yan Wen looked at her seriously: "Miss Song, don't you trust me? Then I swear here..."

"No need!" Song Lianhe hurriedly stopped him. "If I can't trust you, who else can I trust? But I don't want to implicate you in this matter. You are the top scholar, and your future is limitless."

"If it weren't for you, how could there be a champion?"

"You can't say that. This is the honor you earned through your own strength! I just did what ordinary people would do..."

"But it's you."

Su Huaqing listened to the two people talking back and forth, and felt that if he continued talking, it would be difficult to end it without bowing to heaven and earth.

He quickly raised his hand to interrupt: "You two are both talented and kind people. Now you are truly our own people. There is no need to be so polite."

It was useless for Song Lianhe to say anything now. Yan Wen knew too much and could be said to have directly penetrated into the core of the team.

He added, "The emperor has not attended court in the past few days. According to the news from the Imperial Hospital, his health may not last much longer. He will not see anyone except Prince Heng and Consort Zhao Hui. Even the Empress came to pay her respects several times but was stopped outside the palace."

Yan Wen said: "Whether this is his original intention or not, King Heng would not want him to meet outsiders to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Just then, Xuan Mei suddenly came in.

"Someone is coming from the palace."

Song Lianhe turned to the backyard and saw Fang Xiu, who was beside Empress Chunde.

"Princess Qing!" Fang Xiu bowed and hurried forward to beg, "I am here on the orders of the Queen to invite Princess Qing to the palace to treat His Majesty."

Song Lianhe was a little surprised and said quickly: "I am flattered to be loved by the Queen, but I am not an expert in medicine, so I am afraid that my intention is not enough."

To be honest, Chunde's invitation to her into the palace did catch her off guard.

The original text did not mention much about the death of Emperor Cheng Xiao, it was a very natural thing.

After his death, Zhou Junlin ascended the throne.

But now the crown prince has become someone else, and Chunde comes to ask her to save Emperor Chengxiao. Everything is out of control, which makes her feel panicked.

"Princess Qing, the Queen knows your concerns. Don't worry, just go ahead and get the treatment. No matter what the result is, no one will dare to blame you!"

As she spoke, she handed a token to her, "Seeing this token is like seeing the queen, and you can be spared from death."

Now that things have come to this, if she refuses again, it would be intentional.

Song Lianhe said she would prepare, and then called Xuan Mei to inform Zhou Cangyan. Fortunately, it was the Queen who sent someone to invite her. If it was someone else, she would never agree.

Song Lianhe brought Shuangye and Fang Xiu into the palace.

She was first taken to Chunde's Kunyi Palace. Chunde had been working hard in recent days and his complexion was not as good as before, but he was still very intimate and enthusiastic when he saw her.

"Come here." She waved at Song Lianhe.

Song Lianhe stepped forward and she held Song Lianhe's hand, "You and Bie Wu have suffered a lot in Sishui City."

Fang Xiu said, "When she first heard that Princess Qing was in trouble, the Queen cried for several times, and no matter how I tried to persuade her, it was useless."

Song Lianhe went to see her again, feeling a little more touched: "Thank you, Queen, for your concern."

"Don't listen to her nonsense. I'm not crying."

Chunde asked Zhou Cangyan again, and finally sighed: "When you return to Ling'an, you must be careful everywhere. This place is not like the outside world."

Song Lianhe looked at her and thought that Concubine Zhao Hui must now regard her as a thorn in her side. After all, there was only one empress dowager in the palace, and Chunde's life should not be easy.

Therefore, she invited Song Lianhe to save Emperor Cheng Xiao's life, but also to save herself.

"Lian He, you know why I asked you to come here. I also know in my heart how difficult it has been for you and Bie Wu to come this far, and I really feel indebted..."

Song Lianhe looked at her and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, I have only one question to ask."

"Are you agreeing?" Chunde's eyes lit up. "What's the matter? Ask now!"

But when she met Song Lianhe's gaze, she vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to ask, or perhaps because of her uneasy heart, she hurriedly avoided her sight.

In that instant, Song Lianhe understood.

-

In Chongzheng Hall, Chunde was once again turned away.

"presumptuous!"

Fang Xiu stepped forward and slapped the young eunuch who answered the question in the face.

Chunde pursed his thin lips and looked cold.

"I am the queen, who dares to stop me?"

She took a step forward and heard a pleasant laugh.

"Don't be angry, sister. Why bother with a servant?"

Hearing this voice, Song Lianhe, who was disguised as a palace maid, raised her head slightly and saw a delicate beauty approaching. Behind her were eunuchs, maids, and guards, a large group of people, much larger than the Queen Chunde.

Is this Consort Zhao Hui?

"Empress Zhao Hui, you ordered people to stop me from seeing His Majesty? You are so bold, do you know your crime?!"

Empress Chunde was also filled with anger and would not give in this time no matter what. Otherwise, where would her face as the empress be?

"Sister, you have wronged me. How dare I stop you? It is because His Majesty is in poor health and does not want to see outsiders. My sister tried to persuade him but it was useless. His Majesty even got very angry with me~"

Chunde sneered: "What's the point of saying so much? Who doesn't know what you and your son are up to?"

"Hush~" Zhao Hui smiled charmingly and slowly approached her. She stood on a high place, looking down at Chunde, and lowered her body little by little: "Empress, please don't say anything careless. If the emperor hears it, he will definitely be unhappy."

"You bitch—"

Song Lianhe suddenly grabbed Chunde and said, "Empress, you haven't recovered from your cold yet. I'm afraid you might pass your illness on to His Majesty."

"Haha, in that case, you should hurry back to your Kunyi Palace to recuperate. Your Majesty has your sister here, so you don't need to worry."

Concubine Zhao Hui straightened up and looked down at Chunde with contempt in her eyes.

Chunde was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Song Lianhe winked at Fang Xiu, and the two of them supported her and left immediately.

Concubine Zhao Hui smiled coldly, then hooked her finger and called the eunuch behind her.

"That maid looks very unfamiliar. Go check her out."

"Yes, ma'am."

When she returned to Kunyi Palace, Dechun was so angry that she started to curse: "What a vixen, she dared to take advantage of me when I didn't bother with her before! I am the queen, how difficult is it for me to punish her?"

Song Lianhe took the tea from Fang Xiu and brought it to her: "Then the queen has really fallen into Zhao Hui's trap."

Chunde was startled, turned his head to look at Song Lianhe, and slowly took the tea from her hand, "Why do you say that?"

"Didn't your Majesty notice that she was provoking you everywhere today?"

Chunde took a sip of tea, frowned, and nodded after thinking: "Now that you put it, it is true. Although she was very annoying before, she didn't dare to be so arrogant in front of me! So..."

"So, she must have some plan."

Song Lianhe said: "If we want to find out, we don't have to confront her head-on. We just need to visit Chongzheng Palace tonight and everything will be clear."

"Night visit?"

Chunde was a little embarrassed.

Song Lianhe smiled and said, "Just leave this little matter to me."
