"Your Majesty, I dare not disobey your order, but can Prime Minister Gu withstand the wrath of the Su family army? If I disfigure myself, there will be ten or a hundred more. Do you want to disfigure every one of them? This will not do any good for you."

Su Minglang picked up the dagger on the ground and put it back where it was.

Compared to the position of prime minister, the Su family is not afraid of controlling half of the military power.

What's more, her disfigurement would not give Concubine Shu any benefit, but it would give other concubines an opportunity.

This is totally not worth it.

"How dare you! I still need your teachings? Slap my face."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu was furious and immediately ordered the nanny. She was really sharp-tongued. No wonder those two pieces of trash were demoted.

"My Lady Shufei, the Emperor is staying in Linglong Palace today. Do you think I would not want to see the Emperor with a red and swollen face?"

She is not afraid. It would be a shame not to take advantage of the support she has now.

The nanny thought so, and that beating would do no good to the master.

If this gets out and someone uses it to make a fuss, and if any rumors spread, it will be a handle that can be used against them.

"Good Concubine Su, I underestimated you. You'd better not fall into my hands. I will make you pay. Let's go."

Concubine Shu was furious. She didn't expect that such a little imperial concubine would be so arrogant. She was really spoiled by her favor.

"Farewell, Madam Shufei!"

Su Minglang sent the person away and did not take Concubine Shu to heart.

This time, Concubine Shu will not do anything after being defeated.

What they said was true. It would be of no benefit to Concubine Shu to deal with her when she was in great favor.

The other concubines then dared to stand up, each of them complaining bitterly.

Squatting for so long looked miserable.

"Sister Su is really amazing. Even Concubine Shu can't do anything to you. I was so scared. I thought Concubine Shu was really going to destroy your appearance."

The beautiful lady looked worried, but felt very sorry in her heart.

It would be great if this ruined my appearance!

"It won't do Concubine Shu any good if I'm ruined."

She responded perfunctorily. She could see the expressions of these concubines clearly and felt a little tired.

I don't want to talk much with him.

The concubines suffered from severe leg pain and found excuses to leave.

After a while, Linglong Palace returned to peace.

And what happened here also reached Xiao Heng's ears.

What a sharp-tongued woman! It seems I didn’t know enough about her before.

Because of this incident, knowing that she had offended Concubine Shu, the other concubines avoided her as much as possible.

It just so happened that she was happy to have a leisurely life. With the status of a concubine, the Su family also benefited from it. The emperor gave her a lot of rewards, and some things became much easier to do.

"Master, there is a letter from the Su family."

Xiao Ye handed over a letter with a seal belonging to the Su family on it.

Su Minglang took a look and thought that these words of concern were just false affection.

After burning the letter, he had no intention of replying.

For several days in a row, Xiao Heng stayed in Linglong Palace. There were many people who were dissatisfied, and no one wanted to be the first to stand out, so it was considered safe.

And Xiaoye was pushed into the Imperial Hospital by her in the name of studying medicine.

When I passed by the laundry department in my spare time, I saw a little palace maid crying outside. I was very curious.

"I'm not polite when I see Concubine Su."

Xiaoqing was so impatient to remind the palace maid in front of her crying that she was really tired.

"This servant... This servant greets Concubine Su. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The little palace maid saw someone standing in front of her, and she stood up timidly to salute, her body shaking uncontrollably.

"It's okay, what happened?"

Su Minglang felt that her figure was very similar to Xiaoye, so he asked a question.

"Thank you very much for your concern, Madam. I was very sad to learn that my family had encountered misfortune. I thought that there was no one here, so I stayed here..."

"Then would you like to serve in my palace?"

When the little palace maid heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at the person in front of her. There was a layer of mist in her bright eyes, making her look pitiful.

I couldn't believe that someone was willing to take me in, so I immediately agreed excitedly.

"Really? I am willing!"

In this way, the person was brought back to Linglong Palace.

Xiaoqing was very disgusted with the skinny little palace maid in front of her, but she could not disobey her master's orders.

We can only arrange for people to come down.

"Xiao Qing, don't forget our identities. We are all palace maids. There is no need to look down on anyone."

Xiao He reminded him that the little palace maid in front of him could obviously have suffered a lot.

What a poor man.

"understood."

The little palace maid was smart. She had no complaints about the person in front of her and just did her job dutifully.

Serving the master is much easier than doing endless rough work every day.

Huang Tian deserves a caring person.

Xiao Ye finally checked all the medicinal materials in the Imperial Hospital.

Only Lobelia has never appeared in the medicine account book, but its amount is decreasing a little every day.

After getting the result, Xiao Ye found an opportunity to return to Linglong Palace.

"Master, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Su Minglang sent the palace maids away and closed the door of the side hall.

"Checked it out?"

"There is indeed nothing wrong with the Queen's original prescription. She will add a little Lobelia to the prescription every day. This herb can cause palpitations. A little bit of it won't be noticed, but if you take it continuously, you will suddenly die in half a year."

Xiao Ye reported the result truthfully. What was puzzling was that everyone in the Imperial Hospital seemed to know it and they all had a tacit understanding, and no one raised any questions.

"Did it pass through the hands of others?"

"Apart from the Imperial Hospital, the Emperor's eunuch personally checked the prescription and handed it over to the Queen's head nanny. No one else had any contact with her during this period. My Lord, this place is very strange. If no one wants to harm the Queen, then who is it?"

As soon as she heard it, she knew who was behind it.

Apart from that person, who else could have kept the entire Imperial Hospital a secret from the Empress?

"Could it be the Emperor..."

Xiao Ye guessed, and couldn't believe in his heart that the Emperor was actually going to take action against the Empress.

"Just stay in the Imperial Hospital and don't let anyone notice."

Only then did Su Minglang understand why the Queen's sudden death was so strange and why the Emperor had no intention of conducting a thorough investigation. It turned out that he was the one who arranged it.

If the Queen knew, how heartbroken she would be!

The one who wanted to harm her was the person next to her.

"Don't worry, Master. I'm just a handyman. The Imperial Hospital knows that I'm your man, so they don't dare to ask me to do anything."

Xiaoye patted his chest and assured him that he was very smart.

Even if the Imperial Medical Bureau wanted to find any evidence, it might not be possible, so they worked diligently in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

There is hard work without credit.

There was nothing wrong with it, and the Imperial Medical Bureau couldn't find any fault with it.

So, Xiao Ye returned to the Imperial Hospital, just in time to see the eunuch admonishing: "This is the medicine that the Empress wants to use. You all have to be alert and don't get it mixed up."

He lowered his head and went back to dry the medicinal herbs.

Su Minglang would not let Xiao Heng succeed again. Since he wanted the queen to die, she had to save her.
