"The imperial physician on duty was just called to Dongge Palace by Concubine Die."

"Dongge Palace? Empress Diefei?"

"Yes, didn't Concubine Die burn her hand a few days ago? The skin has been peeling these days, and it's always itchy. Whenever it itches, she summons the imperial physician to give her acupuncture. Just now, she summoned Imperial Physician Li. Maybe it's itchy again." The little medicine boy knew everything. He dared not offend the master of the harem.

"Tell me how to get to Dongge Palace." Ning'er excitedly grabbed the little medicine boy's hand again, holding it tightly like a life-saving straw.

“But…” The little medicine boy looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. A few days ago, he heard about Concubine Die causing a big disturbance in Fengsheng Palace. Concubine Die has always been a person who never gives in even when she is on the right side.

After burning her hand in Fengsheng Palace, Concubine Die would definitely seek revenge according to her character. Since she couldn't punish the queen openly, she would naturally find the queen's maids as scapegoats. These things were not uncommon in the harem.

If this palace maid went there directly, she would only be humiliated, and there is a possibility that she would even lose her life. They have seen a lot of such things in the deep palace.

"But what, you don't want to take me with you?"

"It's not that I don't want to take you there. It's useless even if you go there." The little medicine boy said earnestly. Seeing how loyal she was to the Lord, he couldn't possibly ask her to go to hell.

"As long as there's a glimmer of hope, I'll do it."

"If you are so fearless of death, you can go directly to the emperor. With just one word from the emperor, a group of imperial doctors will come immediately." The little medicine boy's words were originally unintentional and just spoken casually, but they touched Ning'er's heart.

"Thank you. If the princess gets better, Ning'er will definitely reward you." Life-saving straw, yes, the emperor is the princess' life-saving straw. How could she forget the lord of the Xuanhuang Dynasty?

The emperor with supreme power, he is Yun Jingman's lifeline, no, it is...

Baili Haoxuan might still be the poison in Yun Jingman's life, the opium that keeps Yun Jingman sinking...

(Imperial Study)

Baili Haoxuan lit the night lamp and leaned lazily on the beauty couch, supporting his head with one hand and twisting the chess piece with the other hand, rubbing it between his fingers. His long legs were casually crossed, looking evil and alluring.

The ice-blue eyes looked at the black and white chessboard in a daze, and a cold smile appeared on the lips, which did not fade away...

Ning'er put all her effort into it and ran to the door of the imperial study. Looking at the bright lights, a slight smile appeared on her face. Princess, she is saved. Once she finds the emperor, she will be saved.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please, save the Empress." Ning'er shouted hoarsely towards the imperial study.

The guards at the door stopped Ning'er. "Where did you come from, palace maid? How dare you shout in front of the imperial study. Are you trying to kill yourself?" the leader of the guards shouted at Ning'er fiercely.

"Brother guard, please let me in to see the emperor. The queen is unconscious. Please save her." Ning'er begged anxiously.

The leader of the guards showed no mercy and pushed the already exhausted Ning'er to the ground with force, saying fiercely: "Get out, go back quickly. Otherwise, I will kill you." If the emperor knew about the disturbance in front of the palace, it would not only be the maid who would lose her head, but all the guards might also lose their lives.

They knew the emperor's cruelty.

Ning'er fell to the ground and crawled on the ground, grabbing the guard leader's feet, holding back tears, begging in a hoarse voice: "Please, guard brother, let me go in to see the emperor, please."

"Get out of here. If you disturb His Majesty, both you and I will die." The head guard tried to shake off Ning'er's hand that was holding his foot.

"Just let me in. Your Majesty, you are still waiting for the Emperor to rescue you. You are still waiting..." Ning'er refused to let go and held on tightly, using all her strength to hold the head guard's feet.

"Let go, let go." The head guard kicked Ning'er away with all his strength. Ning'er rolled a few times, ignoring the pain in her body, grinding on the icy floor, pulling the head guard's feet with her hands, "Please, please, the Queen is waiting for help. Please..."

"Get out!!!" The leader of the guards got angry and stomped hard on Ning'er's back.

Ning'er still held on to the leader of the guards' feet tightly. The leader of the guards got angry, drew the sword at his waist, and swung the sword. "Stop!" Suddenly a voice came to stop the leader of the guards' actions.

"How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the imperial study? Do you want blood to splatter in front of the imperial study?"

"I dare not. I'll pay my respects to Lord Yan." The leader of the guards put down his sword and knelt on one knee.

Ning'er, who was only breathing her last, couldn't hear who it was, but she knew someone had come and could save the princess. With blurry eyes, she turned around and crawled towards the voice. She grabbed Yan Zinuo's feet and said with her dying breath, "Please, please, sir... please, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save the Queen. The... Queen is... unconscious... in... Tongyin... Palace... please, sir..."

Ning'er held her breath and finished speaking, then passed out. Yan Zinuo only heard him intermittently, "Your Majesty, save the Queen?"

With a suspicious look on his face, "Who is this palace maid? Why is she in front of the imperial study? What's the matter?" Yan Zinuo asked the guards there.

The chief guard raised his fist and said, "This palace maid seems to be from Fengsheng Palace. As soon as she arrived, she said she wanted to ask the Emperor to save the Empress." He told everything he knew truthfully.

"Phoenix Palace?"

Is she the princess of Cangming Kingdom? Until now, Yan Zinuo has never acknowledged that Sang Yuhanyan is the queen. In his heart, only that woman is worthy of Baili Haoxuan and is worthy of being the queen of Xuanhuang Dynasty. She is just a chess piece.

Should he go in and tell Haoxuan about the chess piece? Wouldn't that give them a chance to meet? What if the chess piece was bored in Tongyin Palace and just wanted to get Haoxuan's attention? The women in the harem would do anything to get the emperor's favor. He had not forgotten that he was unjustly called a "fox talker" and was choked by her. He had to admit her intelligence.

But, what if it is true? They are not strong enough to break off relations with Cangming Kingdom. If something happens to the princess, Xuanhuang will not be able to say anything. It will also give Cangming Kingdom an excuse to crush their Xuanhuang Dynasty.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't find a solution. For the first time, I encountered...

It's all because of that woman...
