I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

Because he returned to the palace suddenly and hastily, not everyone in the palace was informed. Only a few people involved in the trip received the news in advance, and they were only given verbal instructions.

Therefore, after Xiao Heng returned to the palace, the concubines, big and small, in the palace learned about this matter. Early the next morning, the concubines gathered in front of the gate of Kunning Palace.

Of course Su Minglang went there too.

"Ladies, please come in." Shuangxi, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, came out and said to the concubines with a smile. When he saw Su Minglang, he nodded in her direction.

Su Minglang also nodded and followed everyone in.

Because Shuangxi was old, he did not follow the Queen out of the palace this time, so he had no idea what was happening outside the palace. Seeing that the Queen was in a much better mood, which was rare, he felt happy and was grateful to Su Minglang for always accompanying the Queen.

"Your Highness, I greet you. May you live in peace and happiness."

All the concubines paid their respects to the Queen. The Queen sat upright with no expression on her face. She always had a gentle smile on her face, as if she was completely oblivious to the intrigues and schemes among the people below.

"Stand up." The queen raised her head slightly, "Everyone sit down and talk."

Su Minglang felt something was wrong when she saw the unusually rosy face of the queen, but she couldn't say much in front of so many concubines. Xiao Ye obviously noticed this. She tugged at Su Minglang's sleeve, but saw that she shook her head at her, so she could only shut up.

When the concubines gathered together, they said nothing more than polite and distant words, and occasionally made a few sarcastic remarks, but that was all. With the Queen around, they didn't dare to say much.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Not only does the Queen look much better, but even Concubine Su looks more rosy!"

The one who was speaking was the daughter of the Jiangdong Tao family, who had just been conferred the title of Jieyu two years ago. As for her name, Su Minglang didn't know. She had only heard about this Jieyu Tao. It seemed that because her family was a great scholar, they looked down upon those military generals and rough men the most. When the one from the Lu family was still a Jieyu, the two of them did not get along.

Later, by mistake, they were assigned to live in the same palace, and there was a lot of quarrel. She should be the happiest one because Concubine Lu was demoted to a beauty.

"Unfortunately, I don't have such a good life. Unlike Empress Zhaoyi, who is favored by His Majesty, I can leave the palace whenever I want." As she said this, she stroked her cheek with pretended pity.

"If you want to leave the palace, why don't you go before His Majesty and tell him that you are too old to serve him and ask to leave the palace!"

When Su Minglang was about to respond, she suddenly heard these words. She looked up and saw that the person who spoke was Concubine Gu Shufei.

You have to know that Concubine Gu has never been so disrespectful to anyone in front of everyone except her over the years, and the person she mocked was from the Tao family, who were also civil officials like her.

Concubine Gu also felt Su Minglang's gaze and curled her lips in disdain. She always treated these women in the harem equally.

I just look down on it!

"Shu, Shufei?" Tao Jieyu obviously didn't expect Shufei to say such a thing. She was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

You should know that what Concubine Shu asked to leave the palace on her own initiative did not mean leaving the palace in the literal sense, but rather to spend the rest of her life in a temple meditating with green lamps and ancient Buddhas. How could the emperor's woman be allowed to leave the palace so easily!

The Empress obviously did not expect that Concubine Shu would speak for Su Minglang. After all, their previous relationship was there. However, her usual self-control enabled her to quickly adjust her mood. Seeing that Concubine Tao was stuck there at a loss, she took the initiative to hold a meeting to calm the situation.

"Well, I guess Concubine Tao just misses her parents at home. Why don't you go talk to His Majesty? His Majesty has always attached great importance to governing the country with filial piety, and he will not disagree."

"Yes, thank you, Her Majesty." Seeing that someone had found a way out for her, Concubine Tao hurriedly took advantage of the situation and dared not say anything more.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Concubine Gu was in a bad mood. No one dared to cause trouble for her. After all, in terms of rank in the palace, besides the Queen, there was only Concubine Gu.

There was originally another concubine in the palace, but she wanted to harm Su Minglang but was pecked in the eyes, so she has become useless.

Thinking of this, the concubines who still had some sense looked at Su Minglang with unclear expressions.

"Well, even though I'm back, you don't have to come and pay your respects every day. Just follow the usual practice." The queen said, waving her hand, "I'm tired, you can all leave."

Su Minglang first followed the concubines out, and when she saw them all dispersed, she wanted to go back but was stopped by Shuangxi.

"Empress Zhaoyi, the Queen is really tired. I'm afraid she won't see any guests today." Eunuch Shuangxi said embarrassedly.

"No problem." Su Minglang nodded and turned to leave, but stopped in worry, "Eunuch Xu, please stay!"

Eunuch Xu, also known as Eunuch Shuangxi, paused for a moment and looked at Su Minglang in confusion, "I wonder if Empress Zhaoyi has any other instructions?"

"I just noticed that the Empress looked flushed and didn't look listless, so I wanted to ask if she was feeling unwell again?" Su Minglang asked vaguely.

"The Queen is indeed more energetic than before." Shuangxi didn't seem to notice anything unusual. Instead, he was happy that the Queen could cheer up. Seeing that Su Minglang cared so much about the Queen, he spoke a few more words to her.

"Empress Zhaoyi also knows that the Empress likes quietness. Today, so many concubines came in a rush, and they are all chirping in her ears like little birds. The Empress may feel annoyed."

"If you don't have anything important to do, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Of course, of course!" Su Minglang nodded with a smile. What Xu Shuangxi said made sense, so she had no choice but to take it one step at a time.

Judging from the time, the poison in the queen's body should not be fatal yet.

She felt slightly relieved and left with Xiao Ye.

When the two of them walked to the palace road, Xiao Ye couldn't help but tighten her clothes, "My queen, the weather is getting colder and colder. You must put on more clothes when you go back."

Su Minglang was preoccupied and did not hear Xiaoye's voice. Xiaoye saw that she was walking forward and something was obviously wrong, so he hurried forward and grabbed her.

"Miss?"

Su Minglang met Xiao Ye's puzzled gaze and shook his head slightly, but as soon as he closed his eyes, the strange blush on the Queen's cheeks appeared in front of him.

Unfortunately, she had no medical experience and no one around her to turn to, so even if she had any questions, she had nowhere to turn.

If only it could be faster!
