The Qiankun Hall remained restless all night, with candles lighting up the room all night long, illuminating the imperial doctors who were hurrying back and forth.

Yu Wenlian lay on the bed with his eyes closed. The blood at the corners of his mouth had dried on his skin. He looked almost lifeless.

After the imperial physician diagnosed him, he concluded that he was poisoned by the heartbreak flower.

"This poison is rarely seen in the world. How could Your Majesty be poisoned by it?" The imperial physician wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Zhao Ge pursed her lips tightly: "Is there still hope?"

"Heartbreak Flower is usually taken orally. If it is spread through smell, it will not cause much harm to the human body. But Your Majesty is weak and has been ill for a long time. Now he has been poisoned. I am afraid..."

Because Nanny Qian applied it on her own body and spread it through the smell, it was destined that the amount inhaled by others would not be much.

So Zhaoge and the other servants were fine.

But Yuwen Lian was different. Nanny Qian must have known that he was weak, which was why she did this.

The doctor didn't dare to continue, and just nodded: "I'll try my best."

"We must save His Majesty's life!" Zhao Ge said nervously.

Yuwen Liancai had been on the throne for less than a year, and the other princes were in their prime.

If something really happened to him, Da Chu would have to go through another bloody battle for the throne in a short time...

Next, several imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau gathered around the bed, treating the emperor with great trepidation.

Wang Yun was even more anxious, "What should I do? What should I do? How about... telling the Empress Dowager?"

"Don't go now." Zhao Ge was much calmer. "The imperial doctors are all here now, and the Empress Dowager can't help. Asking her to come will only make her worry for nothing."

It would be better to wait until Yu Wen has achieved some results before informing the Empress Dowager.

Wang Yun had lost his backbone, his head was like a mess, and he listened to Zhao Ge's words vaguely.

The imperial physician's treatment continued until the second half of the night.

Zhao Ge stood there, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

At this time, a young eunuch approached her and whispered, "Miss, go and have a rest."

"How can I feel like resting at this moment?" Zhao Ge pressed his temple, which made a throbbing sound and he felt very uncomfortable.

After he finished speaking, the imperial doctors over there discussed in a low voice, and then they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

One of the imperial doctors turned around, and his tense expression relaxed.

"How is His Majesty?" Wang Yun was the first to rush forward.

"Don't worry, eunuch. His Majesty is out of danger for now." The imperial physician was worried for himself. Fortunately, His Majesty was young and could withstand the torture.

Wang Yun patted his chest and almost cried, "That's good, that's good."

Zhao Ge glanced at the pale-faced emperor.

For some reason, she still felt uneasy.

But at least on the surface, the turmoil in Qiankun Palace that night seemed to have finally passed.

Zhao Ge was guarding Yu Wen Lian in the Qiankun Hall, lying on the table drowsy.

In the middle of the night, a figure put a piece of clothing on Zhaoge, but woke her up instead.

She looked and saw that it was the eunuch who had advised her to rest before, so she rubbed her eyes and said, "Thank you."

"You should go back and have a rest. Our servants are waiting for you here." Xiao Yanzi advised her.

This little eunuch is so strange, why does he always urge her to rest?

Zhao Ge was a little alert. He looked back at Yuwen Lian and moved his lips.

Before she could speak, Xiao Yanzi lowered his voice and moved slightly closer to her, "If you are tired, the Marquis will be worried."

"..."

Zhao Ge suddenly remembered that Yuan Jinglie had mentioned to her that he had a spy in Qiankun Palace.

"He told me about you." She smiled very sleepily and let her guard down around him.

"In that case, I'll go back and get some sleep."

Xiao Yanzi nodded hurriedly: "Go quickly, it's dark outside, I'll take you back."

The two of them left the Qiankun Hall.

Not long after they walked, Zhaoge asked directly, "Did he tell you to do what happened to Madam Qian?"

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that just as she was taken away by Yuwen Lian, Nanny Qian was arrested.

"The young lady is indeed smart." Xiao Yanzi was stunned for a moment, then readily admitted: "Since His Majesty began to recruit a group of palace maids into Qiankun Palace, the Marquis noticed something was wrong and asked the servant to keep an eye on it."

"After the assassination, the Marquis guessed that Qin Yueliu had someone behind her, so he asked me to investigate and protect you, young lady."

It turned out that Alie had also guessed that Yuwen Lian would set his sights on her.

Zhao Ge smiled, "This kid is getting smarter."

...

The next day, the Empress Dowager learned about the accident that happened in Qiankun Palace last night.

"Such a big thing, and you didn't tell me!"

She rushed to the Qiankun Hall, and as soon as she saw Yuwen Lian, she angrily scolded the servants and ordered someone to punish Wang Yun.

Wang Yun knelt on the ground, terrified and frightened. "Grand Empress Dowager, spare me! We didn't tell you because we were worried about your health!"

"No matter how important my health is, can it be as important as the emperor's health?" The Empress Dowager obviously did not accept this explanation.

"Someone, drag Wang Yun out of here and give him thirty lashes of the cane!"

At this moment, Zhao Ge arrived in time and knelt down quickly, "Replying to the Empress Dowager, it was I who did not let the eunuch tell you. If you want to punish me, please punish me."

The Empress Dowager glanced at Zhaoge, and thinking of her entanglement with Yuwen Lian these days, her eyes couldn't help but become a little colder.

What a beauty!

Previously, she was married to her unpromising grandson, then divorced. Later, she had an affair with the boy from the Ningguo Mansion. Now, this woman even wants to climb into the emperor's bed.

It would be fine if she was of ordinary status, but this woman happened to be the emperor's sister-in-law.

What's going on!

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager said coldly: "She is really acting on her own. Come, drag her away and give her thirty lashes!"

However, before anyone could come forward to take Zhaoge away, a weak voice came from the inner hall, "Grandmother..."

The Empress Dowager was startled and rushed to the bedside, tears welling up in her eyes, "Lian'er, you're awake! You scared the Empress Dowager to death."

Yu Wenlian on the bed seemed to be talking, but his voice was too soft to be heard clearly.

"Lian'er, what are you saying?" The Empress Dowager leaned closer to listen.

I could only hear his weak voice mumbling: "Don't... don't hit her..."

The Empress Dowager: “…”

What a disappointment!

She glared at Zhao Ge angrily, "For the emperor's sake, I will not punish you today. Why don't you leave quickly? Don't get in my way."

Zhao Ge hurriedly retreated in disappointment.

After this retreat, it was a day later when he came to Qiankun Palace again.

She was really uneasy and her heart was in turmoil when she got there. When she was hesitating whether to go in, Xiao Yanzi came out.

"Girl, why are you here?"

"I heard that His Majesty has woken up, so I came to see Him." Zhao Ge glanced at the palace door, "The Empress Dowager is not here, right?"

Xiao Yanzi said, "No, but you can't go in now because the Marquis is talking to His Majesty inside."
