The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

"Master! Su Da Ying is here." Chunyue trotted into the inner hall and said to Song Nanxiang.

"Why is she here?" Song Nanxiang put down the teacup and frowned slightly.

"Let her in." After thinking for a while, Nan Xiang spoke.

She had already guessed Su's purpose in coming to her, which was simply to ask her for help once.

After a while, Nan Xiang saw a woman who had fallen into the water with a pale face and red and swollen eyes standing in front of her, looking so pitiful.

If the emperor saw it, he might show some sympathy.

It’s a pity that Nanxiang is not the emperor, so she would think he is too pretentious and too naive.

"Su greets Concubine Song." Su restrained herself and bowed slightly.

It was as if the body had been subjected to some inhuman torture and had become so stiff that it could not move.

"Sister, please sit down." Nanxiang said with a smile.

"I should have come to meet you earlier, sister, but I was busy studying palace rules these days and couldn't get away. Please forgive me, sister." Su spoke with a slightly apologetic tone.

Hearing this, Nanxiang didn't have any extra emotions in her heart, just some polite words.

"Sister, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, sister!" Su said softly.

"Caiyun, serve the tea!"

"I'm sorry, sister. I only have this ordinary tea. Please forgive me for not taking good care of you." Nanxiang said with a hint of guilt.

When Su saw the brown tea with a faint fragrance, she didn't know what she was thinking. She frowned and looked at Song Nanxiang.

"It's okay. I can drink ordinary tea." Su shook her head lightly.

Then she added, "I have some excellent pre-rain Longjing tea. I'll bring some to my sister next time."

"No need. I can't get used to drinking expensive tea." Nanxiang refused casually.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being so rude." Su said and lowered her head again, as if she had suffered a great deal of injustice.

"I heard that my sister did that last night... Alas!" Nan Xiang stopped talking halfway, and her eyes turned towards Su with sympathy.

Hearing this, Su shed tears pitifully, and the handkerchief seemed to be mostly wet.

"I came here to ask for your help."

"How can I help you?" Nanxiang asked softly.

She also didn't want to provoke Su too much, lest she do something unreasonable.

"Please...please give me some advice, sister." Su said with a stuttering tone.

Thinking of how Su had helped her before, Nan Xiang wanted to repay the favor as soon as possible, so she said

"Then I'll give you a few pointers."

"Just stay in Tingxue Hall for the next few days. After a while, the rumors in the palace will disappear. You will feel better."

"Since the emperor can summon you once, there will definitely be a second time. Besides, every time this time, maybe the emperor has already felt guilty about you. What you have to do is to stay calm and wait for the emperor to remember you."

"Thank you for telling me, sister." Su thanked softly.

"I didn't help you with anything, no need to thank me."

……

Chengqian Palace.

A man wearing a yellow robe and exuding a faint aura of indifference stood in the hall, looking at the little person lying on the bed with a distressed expression.

"Imperial Physician. How is the princess?" Gu Junshen asked.

"Your Majesty, the princess seems to have been poisoned." The imperial physician said with a trembling voice as he knelt on the ground.

The princess' poisoning was not a small matter, but it was not a big matter either, because the emperor loved the princess very much.

If he can't be cured, he might even lose his life.

"What kind of poison?" Gu Junshen frowned even deeper.

He didn't expect that someone in the harem would do such a despicable thing.

"It was aconite poison. It's just a mild poison."

"Aconite is a commonly used medicinal herb for warming the yang and dispelling cold. If used improperly, it can cause poisoning. Besides, the princess is still young." The imperial physician explained.

After hearing this, Gu Junshen's worry and annoyance did not ease much.

The princess is still young. Even a young person would find it difficult to withstand poisoning, let alone a baby.

When he thought that there was someone with such intentions in the harem, Gu Junshen felt extremely resentful.

"Liu Sheng!" Gu Junshen said to Eunuch Liu who was standing beside him.

"Your Majesty, this servant is here."

"Go and check it for me. If you can't find it, I will bury all of you with me!" Gu Junshen said in a stern tone.

Everyone present couldn't help but tremble with fear.

I'm afraid only the emperor can speak up for this behavior of killing people at the slightest provocation.

Eunuch Liu nodded repeatedly, with some sweat already appearing on his forehead.

"Who on earth is it that dares to offend the emperor? This is the emperor's only child."

Eunuch Liu looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

When he came before the Imperial Concubine, Eunuch Liu respectfully asked, "Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine."

"Eunuch Liu, just ask whatever you want to ask." Wang also looked dejected at this time.

As the mother of Princess Yong'an and the biological mother of the emperor's first child, Wang's care and love for the princess are beyond words.

Seeing this, Eunuch Liu sighed slightly and asked, "What did the princess eat yesterday?"

Wang frowned and thought, "They are all ordinary food. There was no problem eating them in the past."

Eunuch Liu nodded and asked again, "But have you met anyone, or come into contact with anyone?"

Wang shook her head. "I came back yesterday after paying my respects to the Queen. I remember the princess went out to play. I don't know where she went."

"Who is the princess's personal maid?" asked Eunuch Liu.

"It's Cuiyun." Ningxiang said.

"Cuiyun has been following the princess and is responsible for her safety."

As Ningxiang finished her words, she saw a maid in green clothes kneeling in front of Wang and Eunuch Liu and saying, "My servant Cuiyun is the princess's personal maid."

Seeing the newcomer, Wang glared at her fiercely and said, "I usually treat you well, don't I? You are to blame for the princess' poisoning."

"Your Majesty, please spare me! It's really not my fault. The princess runs fast and is small. I can't keep an eye on her by myself." Cuiyun explained hurriedly in a panicked and anxious tone.

"If you can't even do a simple thing, what's the use of you!" Wang said, and slapped Cuiyun in the face.

A palm-sized red mark suddenly appeared on Cuiyun's face.

Cuiyun cried out in grievance, and said with a sobbing voice, enduring the pain on her cheeks, "Madam, please spare my life!"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to ask you a few questions." Eunuch Liu said with an indifferent look.

"Hmph!" Wang glared at Cuiyun fiercely again.

"Where did you go with the princess?" Eunuch Liu asked in a deep voice.

As the princess's personal maid, it is almost impossible for Cuiyun to poison the princess. It is thought that the princess went somewhere, ate something, and was poisoned.

"Yesterday the princess wanted to play in the snow. I tried my best to persuade her, but she ran away when I wasn't paying attention. I hurried to catch up with her. Finally, I followed her to the lotus pond. As for what happened to the princess in the lotus pond, I really don't know." Cuiyun said, kowtowing heavily to Eunuch Liu.

"Okay! Is there anyone in the lotus pond?" Eunuch Liu asked in a cold and serious tone.

He is not a soft-hearted person, otherwise he would not have been in this position today and become the emperor's personal eunuch.

"From what I see, there seem to be several palace maids in light red clothes!"
