Wearing a book, hooking him up

Today it was time for Su Jingyao to take a medicinal bath again. She sat leisurely in the bathtub, leaning back slightly and leaning against the wall of the tub.

Nanny Li stood by, gently stretched out her hands and massaged her body.

"Master, there are spies from Yikun Palace in Zhaochun Palace." Nanny Li said in a flat tone, looking down on these spies.

"Oh? How did the concubine get in?"

The corners of Su Jingyao's mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

The imperial concubine probably didn't train anyone in the East Palace before. The kind-hearted and simple heroine used to disdain to do these calculating things.

"Ping'er in our palace used to work in the East Palace. At the beginning, I didn't know whether Ping'er was the concubine's person, so the control over Ping'er's travel was not very strict."

Nanny Li spoke while gently pressing Su Jingyao's shoulders.

"Ping'er thought that no one saw her going in and out of Zhaochun Palace, but in fact, I had sent someone to follow her secretly."

"She meets Qin'er, the first-class maid in the Imperial Concubine's palace, every five days. They are also very cautious, and the forms of their meetings are different." Nanny Li lowered her voice slightly and spoke slowly.

"Ping'er is only a second-class maid in Zhaochun Palace. She can't even enter the palace normally. Is there any news about me that she can know?"

Su Jingyao's eyes were filled with disdain and her tone was slow.

She originally distrusted everyone in Zhaochun Palace, and only those closest to her knew some of her plans and calculations.

"Ping'er naturally didn't know about the master's affairs, but I had someone leak some news to Ping'er, which was half true and half false. Ping'er went to see Qin'er five days later." Nanny Li continued to speak softly without stopping her hands.

"Last time, the master asked Miaoyun to tell the imperial concubine that His Majesty wanted to take you out of the palace on the master's birthday, and it was Ping'er who did it."

"Yes, that really has nothing to do with me at all."

Su Jingyao closed her eyes, a look of satisfaction on her face and a smile on her lips.

"Master, what if the imperial concubine does nothing?" Nanny Li frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

"The imperial concubine had no plans in the East Palace before. Even if she wanted to be a servant, I'm worried that she wouldn't find a way."

Su Jingyao didn't speak immediately, but just gave a meaningful smile.

If the imperial concubine really did nothing, why would Qin'er be so eager to find out the news about her Zhaochun Palace?

Moreover, she pushed Jun Zechen to Yikun Palace on the first night of his ascension to the throne, just to let Ling Yue know clearly that Jun Zechen was not sharing part of his love for her with others.

Instead, he directly fell in love with someone else.

It is impossible for the imperial concubine to give up her feelings for Jun Zechen easily. She will only feel Jun Zechen's preference for her through certain things.

When a woman becomes jealous, she can be very scary.

Besides, jealousy is not something Ling Yue can easily control.

Day two.

The sun is shining, and warm rays of light are pouring down.

In the courtyard of Zhaochun Palace, many magnolia trees are in full bloom. Some are as white as snow, while others are pink and delicate. They complement each other and are really beautiful.

"Master, His Majesty sent you three sets of folk-style dresses yesterday. Master, please choose which one to wear today?"

Miaoxia said softly, and at the same time pushed out a hanger with three dresses hanging on it and placed it in front of Su Jingyao for her to choose carefully.

Su Jingyao raised her eyes slightly and slowly scanned the three dresses. The red ones were bright as fire, the white ones were pure as snow, and the light blue ones were fresh and elegant.

After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "Just the white one."

She has to act pitiful today, and this white thing will help her get into the role quickly.

"Yes, master."

Miaoxia responded obediently, and then began to dress up Su Jingyao carefully.

After dressing casually yet exquisitely, Su Jingyao set off.

Because the fact that Jun Zechen took her out of the palace was not publicized. After all, the empress dowager was still alive. If the empress dowager knew about this matter that obviously violated the palace rules, she would definitely have a bad impression of Su Jingyao.

Jun Zechen obviously took this into consideration, so he deliberately did not publicize the matter.

Su Jingyao sat in the carriage, and a eunuch beside Jun Zechen led her to a secluded place to wait.

She had specially brought a lot of food today, and even took out a book to pass the time.

Qianqing Palace.

Anshun looked anxious and walked into the hall in a hurry.

At this time, Jun Zechen had already changed into folk costumes, which made him look even taller and more handsome, with his posture as straight as a pine tree.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Anshun's voice was full of panic.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but frowned, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "What's wrong?"

"The imperial concubine is now unconscious!" Anshun's voice was trembling.

When Jun Zechen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he raised his leg and walked quickly towards the Yikun Palace.

His face was filled with gloom and his eyes exuded endless coldness.

Anshun followed closely behind him, his face also full of anxiety.

Your Majesty was going to accompany Concubine Chunshu out of the palace today, so why did something happen to the Imperial Concubine again at this time?

When Jun Zechen arrived at Yikun Palace, he saw Ling Yue lying bloodless on the bed at a glance, and his voice was filled with anger.

He shouted loudly: "What's going on!"

After he ascended the throne, he had always felt guilty for not enthroning Ling Yue as queen due to various reasons.

Now, less than a month has passed, and she is lying in bed unconscious because of these secret affairs in the harem.

"Where is the imperial physician?" Jun Zechen asked immediately.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician will be here soon."

Jun Zechen stood steadily beside the bed, staring intently at Ling Yue with an extremely serious expression.

There seemed to be a myriad of thoughts in his deep eyes, and his heart was like a tide, with worry, anger, and self-blame...

After a while, Imperial Doctors Hu and Li came hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you." The two imperial doctors said in unison, with respect in their tone.

"Why don't you come over and show it to the imperial concubine?" Jun Zechen said with a sullen face, anxiety in his voice.

Doctor Li hurried forward, knelt down beside the bed, and then began to examine the imperial concubine seriously.

His brows were tightly furrowed, his face looked serious, then he turned to ask Meixiang who was beside him with a worried look on her face.

"I wonder if the imperial concubine had any symptoms before she fainted?"

"The master had symptoms of nausea and vomiting before he fainted." Meixiang answered anxiously.

Doctor Li combined the pulse and roughly understood the reason why the imperial concubine was in a coma. His face was heavy and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has been poisoned."

Jun Zechen's eyes instantly flashed with a cold light like ice, and he asked in a low and cold voice: "Is there a solution?"

"Judging from the Imperial Concubine's symptoms and pulse, the Imperial Concubine must have ingested Aconitum by mistake. Fortunately, she didn't eat much, so the poison in her body is relatively shallow. I will prescribe an antidote immediately." Doctor Li replied hastily.

"Go ahead." Jun Zechen waved his hand.

Jun Zechen then turned around and told Doctor Hu, "Come over and check on the imperial concubine."

For these high-ranking officials, except for routine consultations every few days when only one imperial physician was needed, they were usually seen by at least two imperial physicians at other times.

On the one hand, it is to avoid misdiagnosis, and on the other hand, it is to prevent the imperial physician from being bribed.

Doctor Hu hurried forward and carefully felt the imperial concubine's pulse. After a while, he said, "Your Majesty, the result I got is the same as Doctor Li's. The imperial concubine did eat Aconitum by mistake."

"How could I accidentally eat Aconitum?" Jun Zechen frowned.

"Anshun, go down and check it out." Jun Zechen ordered coldly.

Afterwards, Jun Zechen slowly sat down beside the bed and quietly looked at Ling Yue who was lying on the bed.

With a deep sigh in her heart, she suffered.

Suddenly, Jun Zechen suddenly remembered something. Yaoyao was still waiting for him.

But today Ling Yue was poisoned and unconscious. Under such circumstances, how could he accompany her out of the palace?

Jun Zechen walked out of the bedroom slowly with a gloomy face, then lowered his voice and instructed Fuquan.

"Go tell Concubine Chun Shu that the Imperial Concubine was poisoned today. I really can't accompany her out of the palace. Let her go back to Zhao Chun Palace first. I will visit her later."

Then, he paused for a moment and continued, "Take the purple jeweled headpiece and the full-body glazed mirror from my private treasury and send them to Zhaochun Palace."

After hearing this, Fuquan was shocked. The headgear was fine, but the glass mirror was only owned by the empress dowager when the late emperor was alive. Even the late emperor did not give it to her when the concubine at that time begged her for it.

And now, His Majesty is actually going to give the only glass mirror in the palace to Concubine Chunshu.

Fuquan quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away."

Only after Fuquan left did Jun Zechen feel a little relieved.

But I was still a little worried about her and didn't want her to have an unhappy birthday.

However, Yaoyao cared about the imperial concubine. If she knew that the imperial concubine was poisoned, she would probably understand him.

Su Jingyao, who had been waiting for Jun Zechen in the carriage, was leisurely eating flower cakes, drinking flower tea, and reading a book leisurely.

"Master, Eunuch Fuquan is here." Miaoyun reported softly.

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, then reluctantly put away all the things.

The expression on his face gradually became a little depressed.

"Your servant greets Her Majesty." Fuquan bowed respectfully.

"Get up, where is His Majesty?" There was a hint of urgency in Su Jingyao's voice.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine in Yikun Palace has been poisoned. His Majesty has rushed to Yikun Palace. I'm afraid he cannot accompany you out of the palace today. His Majesty asked Your Majesty to return to Zhaochun Palace first and come to see you later." Fuquan said cautiously.

Su Jingyao's expression froze for a moment, and then a lonely look appeared on her face.

But he still asked with concern: "Is there anything wrong with the Imperial Concubine Sister?"

"The imperial physician is already preparing an antidote for the imperial concubine. I think nothing will happen." Fuquan replied hurriedly.

"That's good. I'll go back to Zhaochun Palace now."

Su Jingyao forced a smile, but it was full of bitterness.

After returning to Zhaochun Palace, her beautiful face showed a calm expression.

She opened her red lips slightly and gave instructions to Miaoyun who was standing beside her.

"Miaoyun, go and close the bedroom door. Keep it closed, so that the people outside will think that your Majesty has gone to the Yikun Palace, and I will be depressed and unhappy in this bedroom."

"Yes, master."

Miaoyun responded obediently, then walked to close the bedroom door.

When she came back, she saw her master sitting elegantly on the couch, holding a pen in her delicate hands, writing the plan attentively.

Su Jingyao raised her head slightly and began to give orders again.

"Two days later, call the six ladies-in-waiting from the Shang Gong, Shang Qin, Shang Gong, the twelve ladies-in-waiting from the three palaces, and the ladies-in-waiting from the Gong Zheng Division. I want to have a good talk with them."

"Yes, master."

At this time, Su Jingyao raised her eyes slightly and asked calmly: "What kind of poison was the imperial concubine poisoned with?"

"I heard that he accidentally ate Aconitum."

When Su Jingyao heard this, the pen in her hand suddenly stopped and her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.

Aconitum?

The toxicity of Aconitum is quite serious, but why is it Aconitum?

If she remembered correctly, when aconite touched human skin, it would cause a tingling sensation.

It seems that Tang Ronghua used this to apply on the Buddhist beads bracelet.

The reason why Su Jingyao knew this was because Aconitum was given to Tang Ronghua by An Zhaorong, and the spy she arranged in An Zhaorong had discovered Aconitum before.

The Imperial Concubine was poisoned by Aconitum today. Was it An Zhaorong who poisoned her or was it a self-torture trick she used?

However, Su Jingyao was more inclined to believe that this was a self-torture trick by the imperial concubine.

If An Zhaorong really wanted to poison the imperial concubine without regard for the consequences, the imperial concubine would probably have died by now.

This time, the imperial concubine was smart. Not only did she want to use this opportunity to tie down His Majesty and prevent him from taking her out of the palace, she also wanted to drag An Zhaorong into the water.

Su Jingyao narrowed her eyes slightly, this was a way to kill two birds with one stone.

However, An Zhaorong was not stupid. The aconite in her palace should have been dealt with long ago.

I just don’t know how the imperial concubine plans to deal with An Zhaorong. Is she planning to frame her?

Su Jingyao turned her head and looked out the window, her eyes a little vague.

An Zhaorong was right in her guess. Once the imperial concubine came to power, the first person she would want to get rid of would be her.

After all, when she was in the Eastern Palace, An Zhaorong had harmed the imperial concubine many times, and this time the imperial concubine finally couldn't bear it anymore.
