The queen looked at Ye Zi with a guilty look on her face, "Xiao Ye, everyone in Linglong Palace is now a suspect. In order to prove your innocence, from now on, no one from Linglong Palace can get close to you. You..."

"I understand, Madam." Xiao Ye looked at Su Minglang with red eyes and handed the towel in her hand to Lin Xin, "The master just vomited blood. Aunt Lin Xin, please help the master wipe it."

Lin Xin glanced at the Queen, and when she saw the Queen nodded slightly, she took the towel from Xiao Ye's hand and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

"Thank you very much, Queen, and Aunt Lin Xin."

Xiao Ye didn't say anything else and could only look at Su Minglang from afar with worry.

"Alright, Queen," Xiao Heng looked at Su Minglang's comatose appearance with a gloomy face, "Your health is not good either, you should go back and rest first. I will naturally find out everything."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Then I, ahem, ahem! I will not stay any longer. Since the imperial physician has also said that it was not done by an outsider, can the palaces be released?"

"Yes." Xiao Heng nodded, "Li Peidong, take people to control Linglong Palace immediately, and don't let anyone go!"

"Xiao Ye, right?" Xiao Heng glanced at Xiao Ye coldly.

Xiao Ye nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I remember that you are the maid brought by Zhaoyi's family, right? Then you will take care of her. If anything happens to Zhaoyi, I want you to bring your head to me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I obey your command!" Xiao Ye immediately knelt down to thank him, wishing she could run to Su Minglang right away.

The Queen had no objection to his arrangement and nodded: "Xiao Ye, can you do it alone? Is there anyone around Zhaoyi who is trustworthy?"

"Nanxing! Your Majesty, can you call Nanxing over?" Xiao Ye thought of Nanxing first. After all, there were not many people around Su Minglang, and Xiaoqing and Xiaohe had special identities, so they couldn't say anything in front of them. Therefore, although Nanxing was a latecomer, she had to be closer to Su Minglang.

What's more, Xiao Ye always felt that there must be some secret between her master and Nan Xing, so she took Nan Xing without thinking.

The Queen nodded and gave the order, "That's it, you take good care of your young lady, cough cough! I will go back first, so as not to pass on the disease to Su Zhaoyi and Lin Xin!" The Queen covered her chest and coughed a few times, "Xiao Ye, if you have any problems, come to Kunning Palace to find Lin Xin."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, my lady. I will do my best to take good care of you." Xiao Ye looked at Su Minglang who was unconscious with red eyes, and her heart ached.

Upon seeing this, the Queen said no more. She was already in a difficult situation, so how could she take care of Su Minglang? She then took Lin Xin back to Kunning Palace.

Xiao Heng paced around the room anxiously. Under those sharp gazes, the imperial physician who was treating Su Minglang felt uneasy and couldn't even feel his pulse.

Doctor Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, it takes time to remove the toxins. It's getting late now. Why don't you go back first? I will take good care of Concubine Zhaoyi."

Xiao Heng glared at him coldly: "Take good care of him?" Xiao Heng snorted coldly, "Such a long time has passed, and Su Minglang still hasn't woken up. What are you still telling me to take good care of him?"

"What's the point of me having you? Didn't you say you'd stay awake for a while? Why haven't you woken up yet?"

Doctor Zhao's legs and feet instantly weakened under Xiao Heng's questioning. Unexpectedly facing the emperor's wrath, Doctor Zhao felt a chill on his neck, as if he was about to move in the next second.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Su is too weak and her body is weak. She is disturbed by the poison and cannot rest, so her awakening will be delayed."

"I don't want to hear any more nonsense!" Xiao Heng pushed him away irritably, walked forward and gently held Su Minglang's left hand, "Langlang, Langlang, wake up quickly, Langlang!"

"Xiao Ye, do you think there is anyone who doesn't get along with your master on a daily basis?"

"This..." Xiao Ye frowned in confusion and said carefully: "Your Majesty, the Queen is usually kind to others and never quarrels with them. She has her own rules for big and small things and rarely quarrels with anyone, but..."

Xiao Ye carefully looked at Xiao Heng's face, and when he nodded slightly and softened his tone, he spoke carefully: "It's just that the queen really likes you more, and it's inevitable that the concubines in the harem will be jealous."

Xiao Ye finished speaking and then she remembered that she should make amends: "But poisoning is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. I really don't know if there is such a person around the queen."

When Xiao Heng heard Xiao Ye say that many concubines in the harem held grudges, he clearly felt a pang of pain in his heart. Yes, he pretended to give all the favors to Su Minglang, just to pave the way for Li to give birth to a child. But why is everything developing as he wished now? Those despicable means that could have been imposed on Li were taken by someone else. When he pulled out this cancer in one fell swoop, Li would never be hurt again, and the child would be born smoothly.

But why did he feel heartbroken?

Xiao Heng felt that something was wrong with him. He didn't know when it started, but the way he looked at Su Minglang seemed to have changed. He no longer treated her coldly as if she were an insignificant tool, but was looking at a living person.

"Li Peidong, go to the Imperial Hospital and convey the order, asking them to come for a consultation on Su Zhaoyi. If they still can't get a result, I will take their lives!" After saying that, he ran away without looking back.

He now didn't know how he should face Su Minglang.

Li Peidong retreated after receiving the order. Doctor Zhao was conscientiously giving acupuncture to Su Minglang. "Miss Xiaoye, I want to prick the blood clot on the fingertips of the Concubine Zhaoyi. Please pass me the teacup on the table."

"Okay." Xiao Ye responded and hurriedly handed the teacup to Doctor Zhao. Doctor Zhao found the silver needle on his fingertips and pricked it lightly. A drop of black blood flowed out of the white and tender fingertips. Doctor Zhao pinched Su Minglang's fingertips and squeezed out all the black blood. He didn't stop until the bleeding began to turn bright red.

"Miss Xiaoye, the prescription has been prepared. You only need to boil the medicine according to the prescription and serve it to Her Majesty Zhaoyi. I just drained the blood from your fingertips. I think she will wake up soon."

"I have done what I can do now. As for how to interpret it, I need to discuss it with my colleagues. I will take my leave now."

Xiao Ye nodded. There was no reason to keep him, so he got up and sent Doctor Zhao to the door. "Thank you, Doctor Zhao."

"This is all my humble duty." Imperial Physician Zhao bowed slightly and left with the medicine box. Seeing that His Majesty valued her so much, Imperial Physician Zhao wanted to develop an antidote immediately to prevent His Majesty from getting so angry that her head would be moved off.
