After a while, Xiaodie came back again and bowed respectfully to her.

"Princess Yan, please come in."

Luo Nianxi nodded and followed Xiaodie into the yard.

In fact, Concubine Mei was not feeling unwell, she just didn't want to see Luo Nianxi. To be exact, she didn't dare to see her.

However, after hearing what Xiaodie conveyed to her, she became a little scared again.

She didn't know what she was referring to, but she knew that Luo Nianxi was not joking with her.

When Luo Nianxi came in, she glanced at her, then waved to Xiaodie.

"Go back all!"

She concluded that if it wasn't something important, she wouldn't come to her.

What she talked to her about must be something that the servants could not know.

After all the servants left and Luo Nianxi sat down, she asked in surprise,

"What did Princess Yan mean by what she just asked Xiaodie to convey to me?"

Seeing her guilty look, she smiled softly.

"Madam Mei Fei, have you ever heard of... Lost Souls..."

"Snapped!"

As soon as she asked this question, Concubine Mei's hand suddenly shook and she knocked over the teacup in her hand.

Luo Nianxi's eyes were always on her hands. When she heard the three words "Losing Soul Powder", Concubine Mei became very nervous, which showed that she was guilty.

Looking at the overturned teacup and the tea on the table, she smiled bitterly with a bit of embarrassment.

"Princess Yan, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. I haven't slept well these past few days, and I feel a little dazed during the day..."

"Didn't sleep well? Why? Are you worried about the emperor's health?"

Mei Fei hurriedly replied hesitantly:

"Yes, the emperor has not been in good health recently, and I miss him very much..."

"Thinking about him? Are you thinking about when he will die?"

"presumptuous!"

Mei Fei's eyebrows instantly stood up, and then her face flushed and she shouted angrily:

"How can Princess Yan say such treasonous words? It's simply outrageous."

"Treason?"

She repeated, "Even if this is outrageous, I am only saying it. Unlike you, Madam Mei, you actually attacked the emperor."

When she said this, her eyebrows suddenly became serious. When Mei Fei was in a panic, she continued to scold:

"Madam Mei, others only know that the emperor is ill, but they don't know the reason for his illness. However, I can't hide this from you because I am a doctor..."

Mei Fei swallowed hard and stared back at her calmly, "Princess Yan, what do you mean by that? Do you suspect that the emperor's illness has something to do with me?"

"No, I'm not doubting it, I'm sure it was you who fed the emperor the soul-losing powder, causing him to be drowsy and listless all day, as if he had lost his soul."

"You're talking nonsense..."

Mei Fei's face turned red because of anger, "Luo Nianxi, the emperor's illness has nothing to do with me, don't try to frame me..."

"Frame you? It seems that you don't want me to help you. Let me tell you the truth! The emperor has begun to suspect you. Believe it or not, from today on, the emperor will never see you again..."

"You're talking nonsense..."

Mei Fei's face turned pale again.

"Luo Nianxi, stop talking nonsense here. I have never harmed the emperor. Don't try to deceive me..."

Luo Nianxi stood up from the chair slowly.

"Okay, since you don't believe me, then go and verify it yourself! But I have to remind you that the only person who can save you now is me..."

Leaving these words, she looked at her, raised her chin and chuckled, with the corners of her mouth curled into a perfect smile.

Only after watching her leave did Concubine Mei come to her senses.

She didn't expect that she would actually find out the cause of the emperor's illness and that he would even suspect her.

After hesitating for a while, she called out,

"Xiaodie, go to the Yangxin Palace..."

She had visited the emperor last night, and she didn't believe that the emperor would suspect her.

When she hurried to the Yangxin Palace with Xiaodie, she was stopped by Lin Ming.

"Empress Mei, the emperor is in poor health and has not summoned you today. Please go back!"

Hearing this, Concubine Mei felt her head suddenly swell up.

Could it be that what Luo Nianxi said was true?

Is the emperor really starting to doubt her?

"Eunuch Lin, the emperor said half a year ago that unless there is a special reason, I will sleep with him every night from now on. Did Eunuch Lin forget?"

Lin Ming raised his head and replied nonchalantly:

"I don't remember clearly, I only know that the emperor said that from today onwards, he doesn't need concubines to sleep with him, he wants to sleep peacefully..."

"I don't believe it. I want to go in and ask the emperor myself..."

Lin Ming, however, directly raised his hand to signal without any hesitation.

"Madam Mei, please go back!"

After saying that, he waved to the guards at the door, and several of them came forward and stood directly in front of her, acting as if they were not polite to her.

"What are you going to do? I want to see the emperor..."

Mei Fei's face turned pale, she pointed at the guards and shouted angrily,

"You are getting more and more daring. You even dare to stop me. Believe it or not, I will go to the emperor right now to punish you..."

Lin Ming bowed politely and said:

"Madam Mei, no matter what, don't even think about entering this door today, and you won't be able to enter for some time to come..."

"you…"

Concubine Mei was so angry that her face turned red and white, but she could do nothing since Lin Ming wouldn't let her in.

She could only shake the handkerchief in her hand and turn away angrily.

On the way back to Plum Blossom Pavilion, Xiaodie couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with the Emperor? Why doesn't he want to see you?"

Concubine Mei was thinking about what Luo Nianxi said, so she naturally had no time to pay attention to her.

She was thinking whether she should go find Leng Yifei, tell him about the situation here, and let him make the decision.

But she immediately rejected the idea.

Leng Yifei has been using her, and she has been compromising for the sake of her sister. If he knew that the emperor began to suspect her, would he blame her for not being careful enough?

Thinking of this, she shrank back and instructed Xiaodie:

"Go and ask Princess Yan to come and see me..."

Hearing this, Xiaodie asked with concern:

"Princess, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Otherwise, I'll call the imperial physician for you!"

"That's a lot of nonsense. Just do as I say."

Xiaodie then said "oh" and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Not long after Luo Nianxi returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, she was invited back to Plum Blossom Pavilion.

She sat opposite Mei Fei and looked at her calmly.

"Madam Mei asked me to come here. Has she figured it out?"

"What do you want to know?"

Mei Fei's direct question surprised Luo Nianxi.

"Since you are so direct, I won't beat around the bush. Tell me! Who asked you to poison the emperor?"

Mei Fei pursed her lips and shook her head, "It was me."

"You lied..."

"No...no..."

"Then why did you do it?"

"because…"

Concubine Mei blinked her eyes hard. No matter what, she couldn't betray Leng Yifei, otherwise she would suffer the consequences. If things went wrong, he might even become desperate and hurt his own sister.

Thinking of this, she frowned and said,

"Because... because when the emperor was healthy, he always tortured me over and over again. I couldn't stand it, so I thought of this idea..."
