Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

After hearing what Xiang Fei said, a hint of cruelty appeared on the corner of the palace maid's mouth.

"Yes, my lady, I will definitely get it done!"

In the evening, as Feng Qingluan had expected, the queen developed a high fever.

Feng Qingluan went to reduce her fever and was busy for a while before returning to Xiaolin Pavilion very late to sleep.

Day two.

In the Imperial Medical Bureau, the palace maids from Chengguang Hall, Yaoguang Hall and other palaces were all preparing morning medicine for their injured masters.

The maid in charge of making medicine for the empress in Chengguang Hall was named Mu Xin. When she went out to get breakfast, she found a maid from another palace walking away from the medicine furnace where the empress was making medicine.

She exclaimed, and looked at the man's profile, which looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

He walked to the medicine furnace and took a look, but found nothing unusual. He thought that someone might have made a mistake in making the medicine for his master, so he didn't take it seriously. After the medicine was boiled, he sent it to Chengguang Hall.

Half an incense stick of time ago, Concubine Ru sent her first-class maid Luzhu to take care of Xie Ying in the Crimson Purple Pavilion.

A palace maid came to Luzhu and said that Feng Qingluan wanted to see her to give her instructions on the precautions of making medicine for Princess Zhaoyang.

Luzhu came out and waited for a long time, but Feng Qingluan didn't appear, so she returned to Jiangzi Pavilion.

In Chengguang Palace, Nanny Yuan took the medicine prepared by the Queen from Mu Xin and brought it to Xie Ning.

Xie Ning stayed by the Queen's bedside the entire night to take care of her. After the medicine arrived, Xie Ning said:

"I'll feed my mother the medicine."

She picked up the spoon and fed the queen one spoonful at a time.

These medicines were prescribed by Feng Qingluan. She believed in Feng Qingluan's medical skills and had no doubts about this bowl of medicine.

Feng Qingluan said that if nothing unexpected happened, her mother would wake up today. After feeding her the medicine, Xie Ning still stayed by the queen's side.

The queen's personal nurse was worried that she was tired, so she advised:

"Your Highness, please go and get some rest. I will let you know when the Queen wakes up."

Xie Ning said: "I'm not sleepy, I must wait until mother wakes up."

Not long after she finished speaking, the queen opened her eyes and Xie Ning happily rushed over to her:

"Mother, how are you?"

The queen woke up, but her expression was filled with pain.

She looked at Xie Ning beside her, suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and fainted again.

"Mother? Mother, someone, go and call Feng Qingluan."

Xie Ning was so frightened that she fell on the queen and cried.

Feng Qingluan was also shocked when she received the news and rushed to Chengguang Palace as quickly as possible.

The queen's face was ashen, with black blood spitting out from the corners of her mouth and on her collar.

Xie Ning was so anxious that tears kept falling, and she grabbed Feng Qingluan:

"There's something wrong with the medicine. My mother vomited blood after taking it..."

Feng Qingluan quickly checked the Queen's pulse, her brows furrowed. Poisoned?

She took the medicine bowl and checked it, it was the herb of life and death!

She fed the queen a detoxifying pill to relieve the poison in her eyes, and then used acupuncture to remove the poison.

Fortunately, the queen was unconscious and a small amount of poison was fed into her mouth. She arrived in time. After the acupuncture, the queen vomited poisonous blood and fell into a coma again.

After making sure she was out of danger, Feng Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ask Xie Ning: "The Queen's medicine was prepared by a special person, so why was it poisoned? Go report the matter to His Majesty and ask him to investigate thoroughly."

Soon Emperor Xia Ming learned the news and rushed to Chengguang Hall.

He was extremely angry. Someone had tried to harm the queen again and again, which had touched his bottom line!

He shouted, "Come here, bring here all the people who have handled the Queen's medicine!"

The emperor was furious and the palace people were in panic.

The imperial physician who prepared the medicine, the palace maid who boiled the medicine, and all the palace servants who had come into contact with the medicine during the process were all in Chengguang Hall.

"How did the poison get into the Queen's medicine? Can anyone explain to me?"

The imperial physician knelt on the ground and said in fear:

"Your Majesty, I prepared the medicine according to the prescription given by Miss Feng. Aunt Mu Xin brewed it. I don't know why the medicine is poisonous."

Mu Xin trembled all over:

"Your Majesty, this is the medicine I made for the Empress. I have been standing by the Empress's medicine stove the whole time. After it was done, I brought it over to Madam Yuan. I did not ask anyone else to help me. Please understand, Your Majesty."

Nanny Yuan was an old nanny who had served Empress Li for many years. She said:

"Your Majesty, this is the last medicine I sent to you. I have served you for more than 20 years and never had any second thoughts. I would never poison you. Please investigate thoroughly."

Emperor Xia Ming was furious:

"They say the medicine is fine, but where did this poison come from? Did it fall from the sky?"

He slammed his palm on the table, frightening everyone in the hall so much that they all fell to their knees in panic.

Mu was extremely anxious. She was the one who was in charge of boiling the medicine. If the medicine was poisoned, she would be the biggest suspect. She tried hard to recall if there was anything unusual when the medicine was being boiled.

Suddenly she thought of the familiar palace maid. She remembered who she was and said:

"Your Majesty, when I was boiling medicine for the Queen, I saw Lu Zhu from Yaoguang Palace standing in front of the Queen's stove. I wonder if it was her..."

Emperor Xia Ming said angrily: "Yuan Chao, go and bring Lu Zhu here! Call Concubine Ru as well!"

Luzhu was helping Xie Ying wash up when she saw Yuan Chao coming to take her away. The queen was poisoned and someone saw her appear in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Lu Zhu looked flustered and said in defense:

"Impossible, I have never been there. I have always been serving the princess in Yaoguang Palace. I am innocent!"

Ru Fei happened to come to Yaoguang Pavilion to see Xie Ying, and when this happened, she said:

"Nonsense! How could anyone from this palace poison the queen? Let's go to Chengguang Palace!"

Concubine Ru brought Luzhu to Chengguang Palace.

Emperor Xia Ming's face was as dark as ink:

"Ru Fei, someone saw Lu Zhu, who is beside you, poisoning the Queen's medicine. Is this an attempt to poison the mother of a country?"

Ru Fei remained calm:

"Your Majesty, this is a frame-up! I left Luzhu in Yaoguang Pavilion to take care of Zhaoyang. She has never left my side. There is no way she could have gone to the Imperial Medical Bureau to poison the Queen!"

The emperor said coldly, "Not even a step away? A palace servant saw Lu Zhu leaving Yaoguang Pavilion. How do you explain this?"

Concubine Ru had always been at odds with the Queen, so it was not impossible that she took advantage of the Queen's critical illness to poison her.

Lu Zhu explained, "Your Majesty is wronged. Although I left Yaoguang Pavilion once, I was told that Miss Feng wanted to instruct the princess on how to make medicine. I never went to the Imperial Medical Bureau. Aunt Mu Xin might have misjudged me."

Mu Xin said: "Your Majesty, the person standing in front of the Empress' medicine furnace is indeed Lu Zhu. Lu Zhu is a first-class maid beside Empress Ru Fei. I will not make a mistake!"

After listening to the arguments of both parties, the emperor felt overwhelmed. He looked at Feng Qingluan and asked:

"Feng Qingluan, did you ask Lu Zhu to leave Yaoguang Pavilion?"

Feng Qingluan frowned. How did this matter have anything to do with her?

She came out and said, "Your Majesty, I did not send anyone to ask Lu Zhu to give instructions."

Lu Zhu was anxious: "Miss Feng, you are the one who asked someone to find me. How can you not admit it? If you don't admit it, you will kill me."

Feng Qingluan frowned even more tightly, and she did not ask anyone to call Luzhu.

But looking at Luzhu's anxious look, it didn't seem like she was acting. Could it be that someone really sent someone to call Luzhu in her name?

The three parties each held their own opinion. Ru Fei said:

"Your Majesty, this matter must have been framed by someone who wanted to stir up a conflict between me and the Queen. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!"

Emperor Xia Ming was furious. He didn't want to question whether any of the three men were lying, so he directly ordered:

"Someone, take Mu Xin and Lu Zhu away and interrogate them strictly until they confess!"

The guards came up and dragged the two palace maids away.

Mu Xin and Lu Zhu cried and screamed:

"Your Majesty, I am innocent, I am innocent..."

Emperor Xia Ming then looked at Feng Qingluan again:

"As for you, you are also a suspect! Take her away for interrogation as well!"

I failed to kill Feng Qingluan in the previous few times, so I might as well make her suffer this time!

A guard came to escort Feng Qingluan, and Feng Qingluan said coldly:

"Your Majesty, if I am suspected of murdering the Queen, why do I try so hard to save her? Isn't this contradictory?"

Emperor Xia Ming was determined to make her suffer, so how could he let go of the opportunity? He said:

"Maybe you are just putting on a show for me, pull him away!"

Concubine Ru was stunned when Emperor Xia Ming wanted to torture Feng Qingluan. Is His Majesty crazy?

What should Xie Ying do if Feng Qingluan is injured?

What should the Queen do?

Does he still want the queen to be alive?
