Xiao Ye sat beside Su Minglang, not daring to leave for a moment, for fear that Su Minglang would wake up as soon as he left, and then there would be no one around and he wouldn't be able to drink water.

Xiao Ye watched Su Minglang sleeping without knowing anything, and in his mind he scanned the faces of every person in Linglong Palace again and again, trying his best to find something different from them.

Xiaoqing and Xiaohe were sent down from above. Although Su Minglang kept them, they were not close to each other. However, the people around her excluded herself, Xiaoqing and Xiaohe, and the only one who could really get close to Su Minglang was Nanxing. Xiaoye suddenly remembered that Nanxing was always whispering something to Su Minglang. Obviously, there was something that she couldn't know. Seeing that Su Minglang was still unconscious, Xiaoye wished that he could bring Nanxing to him and ask him about it.

"What are Nanxing and the master doing?" Xiaoye is the head maid of Linglong Palace. She has to take care of everything. She is very busy on weekdays. Occasionally, she runs into Nanxing, either whispering with Su Minglang or walking out of the palace alone. A bad idea suddenly emerged in Xiaoye's mind, "No, it can't be Nanxing, right?"

Once this thought came to mind, every bit of memory seemed to be evidence to prove this answer, and they popped up in twos and threes. "My master brought her back from the laundry department. Surprisingly, surprisingly!"

Xiao Ye held back and didn't say anything. She knew very well that it was unfair to suspect anyone before everything was concluded. But now Su Minglang was in a deep sleep with residual poison in his body. She could throw all fairness and morality out of her mind.

"Nanxing, Nanxing."

The bed curtain suddenly moved. Xiao Ye came back to her senses and looked over. She saw Su Minglang slightly raised his finger. After a long while, he reluctantly raised his eyelids. "Nanxing, where's Nanxing?"

Su Minglang moved his lips with great effort, but could only utter a few words. His slightly raised arms soon dropped down weakly.

Xiao Ye was still immersed in the joy of Su Minglang's awakening. She could not hear clearly the unclear words, but just barely made out the word "Nanxing" through her mouth shape. Then, looking at Su Minglang's powerless hands, she felt that she was lost and lonely, and her guess became more certain.

"Master, please wait. I will go and get the imperial physician."

Su Minglang watched Xiaoye walk away helplessly. His heavy eyelids could no longer be lifted. Darkness came over him in the dim light. Sleepiness swept through his weak limbs. He turned his head and fell into a deep sleep again.

When Xiao Ye arrived at the Imperial Hospital, there was a heated discussion in the room. Fortunately, she had worked in the Imperial Hospital under Su Minglang's instructions before, and she was familiar with those imperial doctors, so she was recognized immediately.

"Miss, are you from Linglong Palace?"

Xiao Ye was just about to nod when Imperial Physician Zhao looked up and saw her: "Miss Xiao Ye? Why are you here? Has something happened to Concubine Su?" After saying this, not only her, but the faces of the imperial physicians around her turned pale instantly.

"No, no!" Xiao Ye waved his hands hastily to deny, "Madam, Madam, she's awake!"

"Awake?" Doctor Zhao's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to cheerful. He was just distressed because of the hard job he had just received. Now he suddenly felt that he was very close to being promoted.

"Did the queen say anything? How did you feel after you said it?"

"Xiao Ye grabbed him fiercely, and instantly panicked, "No, the queen seemed to be speaking with great force, and only uttered a few words, it was really hard to hear clearly."

"Huh!" Doctor Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge stone in his heart had fallen to the ground. His tense body instantly relaxed, and he was able to persuade others not to worry.

"Since Empress Zhaoyi has woken up, the medicine must have taken effect. The toxins in her body are stubborn and it will take time to recover. Don't worry, Miss Xiaoye. As long as she wakes up, you can put your mind at ease."

Xiao Ye nodded, and seeing that they were indeed very busy, he had to return empty-handed.

"Sister Ye!" Xiao Ye vaguely heard someone calling her. She turned around and found that it was Nanxing running towards her from a distance. Her expression instantly turned cold.

Nanxing went up to him without noticing anything. She vaguely heard that something happened to her master at the banquet, but the next moment she was suppressed in Linglong Palace and was not allowed to go out. Now, with great difficulty, the Queen asked someone to let her out. She had been impatient to get some news about Su Minglang. As a result, as soon as she went out and had not yet reached Changle Palace where Su Minglang was resting, she saw Xiaoye running back in a hurry.

"Sister Ye, how is the queen's health?"

Nanxing was eagerly waiting for the answer, but Xiaoye gave her a fierce look and turned away.

"Wait, wait! Sister Xiaoye, what happened to me? Don't go, don't go!" Nanxing hurriedly chased after her, caught up with her in a few seconds, and stopped Xiaoye, "What's wrong, Sister Xiaoye?"

"Don't call me sister!" Xiao Ye angrily shook off her hand. Although there was no evidence, all the signs were telling her one thing: the one who did this was Nan Xing who had been acting sneaky.

"Nanxing, I don't care what happened between you and the master, but if you dare to do something, don't let me catch you!" Xiaoye glared at her coldly, resenting why she took the initiative to ask to release her. "But Nanxing, don't forget who gave you your identity! If it weren't for the queen, you would still be cleaning the laundry department!"

"Of course I know, Sister Xiaoye, and of course I know how good the queen is to me!" Nanxing heard the sense of responsibility implied in her words and understood it in an instant. It turned out that she regarded him as a traitor.

However, Nanxing didn't dare to make a decision on her own as to whether she could tell Xiaoye about what happened between her and Su Minglang. But she was misunderstood by her and faced with her cold words, which made Nanxing very unhappy.

What's more, looking at Xiao Ye's excited expression, I'm afraid Su Minglang's current condition is not very good.

"Sister Xiaoye, the matter between the master and I can only be discussed after the master wakes up. Tell me now, is the master okay?"

"Well? How can it be well!" Xiao Ye felt a sharp pain in his heart when he thought of Su Minglang's thin and pale face. Although his master was not a rich girl, she was also a lady from a famous family. How could she have suffered such a hardship on weekdays? Seeing the person he cherished so much become so old and decadent, how could Xiao Ye not feel pain in his heart.

"You'd better remember your words! Nanxing, if you dare to harm the master, I will not let you go even if I risk my life!"
