If not abolished

In the Yikun Palace, Concubine Wang and the Crown Princess were discussing matters concerning the Dragon Boat Festival banquet with several palace ladies. At this moment, Yunqi suddenly ran over and whispered something in Concubine Wang's ear. Concubine Wang was shocked and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on him? How could this happen? How is he now?"

"Mammy said that fortunately they found him in time and he has been rescued." As for the rest of Yunqi, she didn't know the details either, so she could only say: "Mammy is outside. Your Majesty, would you like her to come in and ask what happened?"

"It's good that she's okay. Let her come in and wait. I'll finish things here and then go over to ask what happened." Concubine Wang was relieved to hear that she was okay.

Concubine Wang turned around and continued to arrange things. The Crown Princess guessed that something might have happened, but she didn't ask. After the matter was settled, Concubine Wang left the Crown Princess alone.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Your Majesty?" The Crown Princess dared to ask at this time.

"There's movement in the West Garden." Concubine Wang told her what Yunqi had just reported.

"What, poisoning? Have you found out what happened?" The Crown Princess was also incredulous when she heard this. Who would be so bold as to poison the palace openly? Although Sun was banished to the West Garden, she could not be assassinated at will.

"It's not clear yet. I was just about to send someone over to ask what's going on. I kept you here so that you can come and see what's going on." Concubine Wang explained.

"Yes." The Crown Princess thought to herself, this Sun family is really good at causing trouble and there is no peace.

As soon as the two finished talking, Yunqi brought the nanny over.

"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Princess."

"Okay, get up and tell me what happened." Concubine Wang went straight to the point.

The nanny didn't hesitate and said immediately, "My lady, Miss Sun was a little unwell before she went to the West Garden, but after a few days of recuperation, she has recovered. This morning, Miss Sun suddenly foamed at the mouth and her whole body was convulsing. I took the initiative to ask a female doctor who knows some medical skills to treat Miss Sun. Fortunately, she was found in time and has woken up."

"Did the doctor say what caused the sudden poisoning?" Concubine Wang still wanted to know how she was poisoned. If someone poisoned her, who did it? As for Sun Ruoji's life, they didn't care that much. If they could use this to catch the person behind Sun Ruoji, then even if something really happened to Sun Ruoji, it would be her life.

"The doctor said it was food poisoning. Someone put Schisandra chinensis in Miss Sun's food." The nanny naturally figured out the reason.

"Schisandra chinensis, how could something like this be mixed in? Have the palace servants who delivered the food and the cooks been checked?"

"We've already checked all the related people, but the strange thing is, these people seem to have nothing to do with this case, and we can't find any suspicious points." The nanny expressed her doubts.

"How could it be that you can't find any suspicious points at all? Forget it, you should just keep a close eye on Sun as before, and I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly. Well, you go back first, and pay attention to anyone who is suspicious, and report to them immediately." Concubine Wang knew that she couldn't get anything out of the nanny, so she had to send her people back first. The person behind the scenes had not been caught yet, and she couldn't let anything get into trouble.

"Yes, I would like to apologize to the Imperial Concubine. It was our negligence that caused Miss Sun to get into trouble." The nanny immediately knelt down and apologized to Imperial Concubine Wang.

"You can't be blamed for this. Just do your best in the next thing. If something happens to Sun, it's her fate." The reason why Sun Ruoji was placed in the West Garden was to lure the snake out of its hole. From this incident, it seems that the person behind it is quite patient.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty." The nanny kowtowed three times.

After Concubine Wang and others left, they discussed with the Crown Princess to send other people to investigate the cause of the incident.

"Let's wait for new results. I hope the person behind this can be found out, otherwise it will be a big hidden danger. This time, Agui was blessed by the Bodhisattva to save his life, but there is no guarantee that this will be the case every time." Concubine Wang expressed her concerns.

"I understand." The Crown Princess couldn't feel at ease thinking that someone was trying to harm her son behind his back.

"Okay, I'm afraid there's still a lot of things to do in the East Palace, so you should go back first."

"Yes, I will take my leave first."

The next day, Zhu Zhanji, who had not gone out for many days, went to pay his respects to Zhu Di and others. Zhu Zhanji first went to the Qianqing Palace to pay his respects to Zhu Di.

When Zhu Di heard early in the morning that his beloved grandson had come to pay him respects, he immediately asked Wang Jinghong to invite Zhu Zhanji in.

"Your Highness, His Majesty told you to go in quickly. You are not feeling well and you should not catch a cold outside."

"Thank you for your concern, my Lord."

"Grandson pays respects to Grandpa Emperor." Just as Zhu Zhanji was about to salute, Zhu Di immediately came over to help him up, "You have just recovered from your illness and you are here to pay respects. Why do you need to perform any salutes?"

"Thank you, Grandpa Emperor, for your consideration."

"Sit down quickly. I feel relieved to see that your face looks much rosier. You should take good care of yourself and go to the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet to avoid being exhausted." Zhu Di discussed with him.

"My grandson is well now. It's not a big problem for him to attend the palace banquet. He won't participate in the competition, but it's fine for him to sit there. If I don't go, the people below will probably make more speculations. There must have been a lot of rumors about my serious illness this time, right?" Zhu Zhanji immediately rejected Zhu Di's suggestion.

Zhu Di also knew that Zhu Zhanji's illness had made many people under him restless, especially his two sons, who had been jumping around so much recently, afraid that others would not know about their ambitions. Zhu Zhanji must have heard a lot, and in Zhu Di's heart, no one could compare to Zhu Zhanji. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If you think you are healthy, then go."

"Thank you, Grandfather Emperor." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile.

"as long as you are happy."

"Then I will go and pay my respects to Grandmother Wang first."

"Well, go ahead. Your grandmother Wang has been worried about you recently. Let her take a good look at you and you'll be relieved."

"Yes, I have caused all the elders, Grandpa Huang, Grandma Wang, Father and Mother to worry during this period."

"What are you talking about? I just hope you will be safe and sound in the future."

After coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zhanji walked towards the Yiku Palace.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is outside the palace. He came to pay his respects to you." Yunqi saw Zhu Zhanji coming and immediately came over to report.

"Agui is here, why don't you let him in?" Concubine Wang did not expect that Zhu Zhanji would suddenly come to pay his respects to her today.

"My grandson has been ill for so long, but he has gotten much better these days, so I came here today to pay my respects to Grandmother Wang."

"No need to be polite. Come and sit down. You've just recovered from your illness and don't want to get too tired." Concubine Wang pulled him to sit down.

"Thank you, Grandmother."

"Come and get something to eat."

"it is good."

"You just came here to pay your respects to me, is there anything else?" It was no wonder that Concubine Wang asked this. Every time Zhu Zhanji said that he came here specially to pay his respects to her, most of the time he had something else.

"Nothing can be hidden from Grandmother Wang." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Concubine Wang looked as if she could hide nothing from me.

"My grandson heard that Sun suddenly fell ill and is now recuperating in Xiyuan. I wonder..."

"You are not still obsessed with her, are you? Let me tell you, she was a very vicious woman. Don't you know that when you were sick, she believed the slander and almost killed you. How can you still..." Concubine Wang thought that he still cared about Sun Ruoji, so she interrupted him angrily and told him what happened before.

“Grandmother Wang has misunderstood. It’s not that my grandson is obsessed with her. I have also heard what you said. Now that I know her true face, I no longer like her. I just want to ask why Grandmother Wang only let Sun recuperate in the West Garden instead of sending her out of the palace directly.” Zhu Zhanji expressed his thoughts.

After hearing what he said, Concubine Wang heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, "It's the best that you think so. After she murdered you, your mother and I wanted to know who ordered her to do it, but she never said anything. So I wanted to keep her in the palace first to see if I could lure her out of her hole so that she would reveal her true intentions behind the scenes."

"I see. Is there any progress now?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

Concubine Wang then told him about Sun's sudden poisoning yesterday.

"Have you found out anything?" Zhu Zhanji asked again.

"It's really strange that they didn't find anything." Concubine Wang's people didn't find anything either. She was at a loss as to what to do. "Could the person behind this be hiding so deeply?"

"Grandmother Wang, have you ever thought about another truth?" Zhu Zhanji said.

"What's the truth?" Concubine Wang was puzzled.

Zhu Zhanji said: "If nothing can be found out, then there is only one possibility, that no one wanted to poison her, and Sun poisoned herself."

"How is this possible? Why would she do this? If she hadn't discovered it in time, she would have lost her life. What on earth was the reason that made her not care about her own life?"

"As long as they did it, there would be traces. Since we can't find anything, this is the only explanation."

"But……"

"Maybe she is seeking asylum. She was exiled to Xiyuan, and the people who ordered her did not help her. She has a hard life in Xiyuan every day, and she has to worry about someone killing her to silence her at any time. If she is suddenly poisoned and attracts the attention of Grandmother Wang, you will definitely send someone to protect her. In this way, those who want to touch her will not be able to act rashly, and she can be guaranteed to be safe." Zhu Zhanji said his guess.

"You mean, she pretended to be poisoned because she was afraid that the person behind her would kill her to silence her, in order to seek my protection. But what's the point of her living for two more days? I can't protect her forever. If the person behind her doesn't show up, then when she is no longer useful, I will give up on her."

"So she has other plans, such as the palace banquet that will be held in Xiyuan soon."
