"I am just making a suggestion. If the Queen doesn't give in, I can't help you. Besides, it was just like that. It's a blessing that the Emperor allowed you one day. What else do you want?"

Nian Shilan frowned and mercilessly put the words back.

Concubine Qi was unwilling to accept this, "But if it doesn't work out today, I won't be able to see the emperor again. How can I plead for him in the future?"

Nian Shilan sneered, "You still know, don't forget, today is the fifteenth, the day when the Queen sleeps with you. If the Queen whispers in your ear again tonight, you can forget about it in the future."

She mentioned this.

Concubine Qi was even more confused. She was already like an ant on hot pot, and now she was so anxious that her mind went blank.

"What should I do? If, if only the Emperor could not be allowed to go to Jingren Palace today," she thought with her head down.

Suddenly she raised her head and said, "Hua Fei, if you had coaxed the Emperor to go to Yikun Palace tonight, then he wouldn't have gone to Jingren Palace!"

She spoke quickly.

Nian Shilan looked at her with amusement, "Concubine Qi, I think you have lost your mind! Do you know what you are saying?!"

Fifteen is the rule set by our ancestors.

Besides, today is Mid-Autumn Festival.

If the emperor does not go to the central palace, not to mention the empress dowager, I'm afraid the civil servants of the previous dynasty will start talking about it again.

"You usually don't think very well, but now that you've asked me to be the bad guy for you, you've become clear-headed?"

Several sentences in a row.

As Nian Shilan spoke, she moved closer to Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi was so frightened that she pressed herself against the wall, not daring to make a sound.

Even Cuiguo leaned closely behind Concubine Qi, not daring to look at Concubine Hua's expression.

This posture is really scary.

Concubine Qi held her handkerchief tightly, her voice trembling, "I...I was just talking, just talking."

After she finished speaking, she dared to raise her eyes to look at Nian Shilan's expression.

Nian Shilan didn't say anything for a long time. She was nervous and didn't dare to leave or speak again.

Until Nian Shi spoke again, "Okay, it's just because I feel sorry for you, I will give you some pointers."

Concubine Qi looked at her eagerly and nodded rapidly, "You say!"

"Tonight is Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Queen is in full charge. If anything goes wrong with anyone's soup, the first person to be blamed will be the Queen."

Nian Shilan looked at him with her phoenix eyes and continued, "What if? I am talking about what if. If the Third Prince suddenly ate something bad, the Emperor would be worried and would definitely go to see him. He would not be in Jingren Palace tonight, but in your..."

"Eternal Spring Palace."

She emphasized the last three words.

Having said that, he walked away without hesitation.

He didn't even want to look at Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi, who was left behind, had her eyes lit up.

Nian Shilan's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples.

She obviously had an idea in mind.

When Nian Shilan left, she unexpectedly met Zhen Huan who also came out to catch her breath at the corner.

Zhen Huan smiled faintly and bowed to Nian Shilan, "May the Empress Hua be well."

"Princess Wan can't hold her liquor?" She raised her eyebrows.

Zhen Huan responded in a low voice, "Yes, I am sorry that you made fun of me."

"Since you can't handle the alcohol, there's no need to go out any more. I'm afraid you'll end up in some remote place and see some flowers called sunset lilies, or run into people you shouldn't see, which would be bad."

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, she gave her a faint smile.

Then, before Zhen Huan could react, he left.

Zhen Huan stood behind her, her face pale.

How could Concubine Hua know about this?

Nian Shilan returned to her seat, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and whispered something in Songzhi's ear.

Then Songzhi left quietly, leaving only Xichun to serve Nian Shilan.

Not long after, Concubine Qi beside him sat down, and Zhen Huan behind him also came back.

Nian Shilan drank the wine boredly, occasionally agreeing with Yinzhen's words, and then she was left with boredom.

After a long while, Songzhi came back quietly.

In Nian Shilan's ear, he said, "My Lady, everything is ready."

Nian Shilan lowered her eyes, took the full wine glass from Xichun, and drank it all in one gulp.

Not long after, a woman's scream was heard in the hall.

The queen looked over with dissatisfaction, "Who dares to make a noise in the palace?"

Yinzhen was also attracted by the voice and frowned slightly.

Because the direction from which the sound came was exactly where the Fourth Prince was sitting.

"Empress, something terrible has happened. Fourth Prince, he has fainted!"

The slave girl who had screamed just now knelt down in horror and reported hastily.

"What?" The queen frowned, very surprised.

Su Peisheng was the first to react and immediately shouted, "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!"

Yinzhen stood up and looked carefully. The Fourth Prince had his eyes closed and fell into the eunuch's arms.

He looked as if he had fainted.

He quickly ordered, "Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician!"

At this moment, everyone in the hall looked undoubtedly surprised.

Only Concubine Qi was surprised, bewildered and at a loss.

How could this be?

She clearly only put a little bit of something in the Third Prince's soup, so how come the Fourth Prince was the one who got into trouble?

It wasn't her, it definitely wasn't her.

Yinzhen pointed at the kneeling palace maid and asked, "What happened just now!"

The maid was so anxious that tears were streaming down her face. "I just served a bowl of soup to the Fourth Prince, but after tasting it, he suddenly fainted. No matter how I pushed him, he wouldn't wake up!"

"What soup? Su Peisheng!" Yinzhen asked.

Su Peisheng immediately understood what he meant and said, "Yeah."

Afterwards, he asked someone to bring up a silver needle and the soup for verification.

Su Peisheng inserted the silver needle, and after a while, the silver needle turned black.

"Your Majesty, this soup is poisonous!"

The queen gritted her teeth, "What? Who dared to poison me?"

"Imperial physician, has the imperial physician arrived yet?"

The imperial physician hurried forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the poison that the Fourth Prince was poisoned by is a poisonous tree called the poison of the poisonous tree. It is a highly toxic substance, but fortunately the Fourth Prince did not take a large amount of the poison. I have already ordered people to prepare an antidote."

Yinzhen frowned, his face was very scary, "Investigate for me, I want to see who is so bold as to poison under my nose!"

"Yes!" Su Peisheng lowered his head and did it immediately.

Concubine Qi's heart was almost in her throat.

She never could have imagined that things would turn out to this point.

She had clearly only given the Third Prince some drug to make him sleepy, so how come it ended up being fatal to the Fourth Prince after he drank it?

She remembered that she was about to cry, but no one paid attention to her at that time.

Everyone was paying close attention to the poisoned Fourth Prince.

What was supposed to be a family reunion dinner turned into a murder scene.

Even the sick empress dowager was alarmed and hurried over.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

The emperor, empress and concubines hurried to meet him.

"Welcome to the Queen Mother!"

"What on earth is going on? How could he be poisoned? Is the Fourth Prince okay?"

No matter how bad he is, he is still the Empress Dowager's grandson.

After all, we care about each other even if something happens!
