The next day, Xi Lingxue slept until she woke up naturally again, and cut a piece of Shu brocade from the Queen's Palace and gave it to Haitang.
"Haitang, among the four of you, who is the best at needlework? Please help me make a little human-shaped puppet doll. The workmanship must be meticulous."
"Miss, Xiangyun is the best at sewing, even as good as the embroiderers in the palace. I will ask her to do it right away."
"It has to be done tonight."
"Yes."
She entered the space to make medicine. The three saw Xi Lingxue coming and said, "Master..."
"You guys keep busy."
"Yes."
Xi Lingxue entered the bamboo house to make medicine. At 3 p.m., when she came out of the space, the puppet doll was already made.
"Miss, please tell me where you don't like it."
"Good."
When it was Mao time, she wrote the emperor's birth date on the puppet, inserted a few needles into its chest, and sat in meditation, chanting spells.
The Emperor was exercising with the new noble lady Lan when he suddenly felt a severe pain in his chest. He fell on the bed, holding his chest.
Concubine Lan was so frightened that she screamed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Send for the imperial physician."
The eunuch who was guarding the door suddenly heard the shouting and ran over hurriedly. Concubine Lan was so scared that she hid in the quilt.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Send for the imperial physician, send for the imperial physician."
The eunuch hurriedly ordered someone to send Concubine Lan back to his own palace.
After a while, several imperial doctors came to feel the emperor's pulse, but none of them could find out what was wrong.
They looked at the emperor in embarrassment, "Doctor Xu, why does the emperor suddenly have chest pain?"
"My humble medical skills are limited and I cannot diagnose the emperor's illness. Let's discuss countermeasures immediately."
The emperor was in great pain. When he heard that the imperial physician could not find out what was wrong with him, he flew into a rage: "Quacks, what use are you? Get lost..."
Several people were so frightened that they retreated to the door to discuss countermeasures.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xi Lingxue stopped chanting the spell, changed into night clothes, took the puppet doll and quickly disappeared into the night, arriving at the Queen's Palace as if she were familiar with the place.
All the people in the bedroom were knocked unconscious, the puppet was placed in the innermost layer of the closet, covered with clothes, and then brought to the home of Lord Hu of the Imperial Observatory.
She woke Lord Hu up, and when she saw Xi Lingxue, her scalp went numb and she stammered in fear, "Third... Third Princess, what do you want?"
"The emperor is not feeling well. He will summon you tomorrow. You should tell him that someone in the queen's palace is trying to murder him. You should know how to do it."
"Yes."
"When the emperor has dealt with the queen, you can tell him about the Ziwei Star incident. It was the queen who forced you to do this. The emperor will definitely forgive your whole family for your years of hard work."
"When a wall falls, everyone pushes it; when a drum breaks, everyone beats it. Someone in the harem will reveal the queen's crimes. This time, the queen will not be able to escape death."
"As long as the prince is alive, he will definitely take revenge on you if he finds out that it was you who did it."
"He is just a frightened bird, a grasshopper in autumn, nothing to be afraid of."
"Without the Queen and the Prime Minister, the Crown Prince is like a clawless python. If he still does not behave himself, he will die."
"The Third Princess is right."
Xi Lingxue explained everything and went home to sleep contentedly, waiting to see what would happen to the queen tomorrow. Even if she didn't die, she would be slowly tortured to death by the poison.
The emperor's chest pain soon subsided, and the imperial physician took his pulse again but still could not find any problems.
"Your Majesty, I still have no clue. It is possible that someone in the palace has set up a witchcraft plot to murder Your Majesty."
"Witchcraft? It is forbidden in the palace. Who is so bold as to dare to murder me in the palace?"
"Send the message to the Imperial Observatory at dawn."
"I obey your command."
The emperor knew that someone was trying to harm him, and he couldn't sleep well. At dawn, the Imperial Observatory came to the emperor's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and at peace."
"Master Hu, please excuse me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I suddenly felt chest discomfort last night. See if there is anything ominous in the palace."
"The minister obeys the order."
Lord Hu counted with his fingers, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Reporting to the emperor, there is indeed an ominous thing in the palace."
"where?"
Lord Hu looked at the emperor cautiously, "Your Majesty, the ominous thing is in the southwest."
The emperor kept repeating: "Southwest...southwest is where the queen's palace is."
"Fu Xin, take people to search the Queen's palace. Don't miss any place. You must find the ominous things."
"I humble my duty and obey the decree."
Fu Xin led the Imperial Guards to the Queen's Palace quickly. This morning, the Queen suddenly felt that her body was covered with pus, which looked creepy.
He immediately ordered the imperial physician to come and take the pulse. As soon as Imperial Physician Xu arrived at the Queen's palace, Fu Xin led the Imperial Guards into the palace.
When the nanny heard the noise outside, she ran over and shouted angrily: "Commander Fu, this is the Queen's palace. Why did you bring so many people here?"
"I am here to search the palace on the orders of the Emperor. I am sorry for the offense."
"Check carefully, don't miss a single spot, and bring any suspicious items to this commander."
"Yes."
"Commander Fu, what suspicious things are there? There is nothing suspicious in the Queen's Palace."
"Mammy, you don't have the final say. We'll know after we search."
The queen was lying on the bed, feeling pain and itchiness all over. When she heard the noise outside, she became even more irritated.
She said weakly, "Mammy, why is it so noisy outside?"
"Reporting to the queen, it was Fu Xin who led the imperial guards to search the palace."
"He dared to search for my concubine, how presumptuous."
"Your Highness, this is the Emperor's order. Please be patient and wait until we have finished searching him to see how he will defend himself."
The queen knew that there was nothing wrong in her palace, so she lay down and let Imperial Physician Xu take her pulse.
