I just want to rob you of your luck

Lin Jiuer went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to visit, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

Yuling said angrily:

"How dare you, you daring servant, stop the Concubine Shu."

The guard looked at Lin Jiuer and her servant in a businesslike manner.

"I am here to guard the place under the orders of Concubine Zhao. No one is allowed to visit until His Majesty wakes up."

Yuling stamped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

At this time, Fushun came out of the hall and saw this scene.

He walked over and smiled bitterly: "Your servant greets the Empress Shufei."

Lin Jiuer saw that Fushun looked much more haggard, probably because Zhu Heng was unconscious and he was tired from guarding him day and night.

"Eunuch Fushun, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Fu Shun knows the situation best, and Lin Jiuer wants to find out what Zhu Heng’s situation is through him.

Fushun looked at the icy-faced guard with some embarrassment.

He was now under house arrest, and could only say to the guard, "I will have a few words with the Concubine Shu."

The guard snorted coldly but did not stop it. After all, nothing could happen right under his nose.

Lin Jiuer looked at Fushun in surprise. She never expected that the most respected eunuch around the emperor would now have to bow down to an ordinary guard.

It seems that the power of Duke Zhao's Mansion is about to control the harem.

Lin Jiuer and Fushun walked aside.

"Fushun, what's going on, Your Majesty? Have you asked Liu Yuanzheng to come over and diagnose your pulse?"

Fushun shook his head helplessly: "Liu Yuanzheng has recently suffered a serious illness and I heard that he is bedridden at home. However, several other doctors from the Imperial Hospital have examined him, and they can't figure out why Your Majesty is in a coma."

The more Lin Jiuer listened, the more frightened she became. What was Duke Zhao’s Mansion planning to do?

Kill Zhu Heng directly and support the second prince to take the throne?

It is possible that Zhu Heng's previous relentless pressure may have driven the people in Zhaoguo Mansion into a state of panic.

She must not let anything happen to Zhu Heng.

Lin Jiuer asked in a low voice: "A few days ago, I felt that His Majesty looked pale and a little haggard. Didn't you notice this?"

Fu Shun said with some guilt: "When the imperial physician came to check your pulse, he said that your majesty was just overworked and prescribed some tonic medicine, so I didn't think too much about it."

"When did your Majesty start to feel tired?"

Fushun's expression suddenly changed as he recalled: "It seems to have started after the Second Prince presented His Majesty with a piece of calligraphy."

Lin Jiuer knew that there were many ways to harm people in the harem. It seemed that this matter was indeed related to Concubine Zhao and the Second Prince.

She urged, "Go back and serve His Majesty carefully. I will think of a solution. We must not let His Majesty get into trouble."

Fu Shun naturally knew this. If something happened to His Majesty, Concubine Zhao would have disliked him long ago and would not let him have an easy time.

At night, Lin Jiuer was alone in the room thinking about how to deal with the situation.

From Fushun's narration, it can be seen that His Majesty was most likely poisoned.

This would be an easy solution, as she happened to have a detoxification pill in her hand, which she had exchanged for points last time and had not used yet.

"Yingyi, come out."

After a while, a dark shadow appeared in the room.

"Yingyi, are there any other shadow guards around His Majesty?"

Ying nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty has twelve shadow guards protecting you in secret."

Lin Jiuer heaved a sigh of relief. No wonder Concubine Zhao chose poisoning as the method. The shadow guards around His Majesty were able to fight one against a hundred. If she used force, she would not end up well.

Lin Jiuer took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Yingyi: "This is the detoxification pill I accidentally found before. You can secretly give it to Fushun later and ask him to give it to His Majesty. Remember to avoid the eyes and ears of Concubine Zhao."

Yingyi took the detoxification pill and retreated respectfully.

Although they are good at martial arts, they are powerless against other things. His mission is to protect Lin Jiuer.

Even though he knew that His Majesty was seriously ill and unconscious, although he was anxious, he could only protect Lin Jiuer in secret.

He knew that His Majesty had a good relationship with Concubine Shu, and thought that she would not harm His Majesty.

If His Majesty is really poisoned, it would be a great thing if Lin Jiuer could detoxify Him.

Ying Yishen entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony without anyone noticing, and sure enough, only Eunuch Fushun was inside, dozing off beside His Majesty's bed.

Yingyi woke Fushun up and gave the detoxification pill to him.

"Empress Shu asked you to give it to His Majesty. This is an antidote."

Fu Shun's expression changed and he quickly took the antidote pill. Concubine Shu was more afraid that something might happen to His Majesty than he was, and he believed that Concubine Shu would not harm His Majesty.

So he poured out the detoxification pill and fed it to Zhu Heng.

The pill melted in his mouth. Fushun and Yingyi looked at Zhu Heng nervously.

The two were surprised to find that after His Majesty took the elixir, the sallow color on his face faded visibly.

The two looked at each other and it seemed that His Majesty was indeed poisoned.

After a while, Zhu Heng suddenly coughed violently, and a mouthful of dark red dirty blood spurted out of his mouth.

Fu Shun was startled and quickly took a handkerchief to wipe Zhu Heng clean.

Zhu Heng slowly opened his eyes and felt as if he had slept for a century and could not wake up.

Fushun, Yingyi, and all twelve shadow guards in the hall appeared and knelt.

There was excitement on their faces.

"Your Majesty, you finally woke up, thanks to the detoxification pill sent by Concubine Shu."

Zhu Heng looked around in the darkness, knowing that he had been poisoned.

"Fushun, tell me everything that happened in the past few days."

After Fu Shun finished speaking, Zhu Heng's phoenix eyes were filled with rage. He did not expect that the Duke Zhao's Mansion would dare to attack him directly.

Concubine Zhao took the opportunity to control the harem and did not allow anyone to visit her.

"Help me up and prepare my writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone."

In order not to alert the guards outside, Zhu Heng wrote several secret letters under the moonlight and asked several shadow guards to deliver them.

He looked at Ying Yi and said, "Go back and protect Concubine Shu. Tell her that I am fine now. However, I plan to remain unconscious for a few days. I want to see what the people in the Zhaoguo Mansion are planning."

After this incident, Zhu Heng realized that apart from his mother, Lin Jiuer was the one who cared about him the most in the harem.

After Yingyi left, Fushun angrily reported to Zhu Heng what had happened recently.

"Noble Concubine Zhao ordered the imperial guards to surround your Majesty's Hall of Supreme Harmony and refused to let me out. Even the Queen Mother sent Nanny Wu, who knows medical skills, to come over but she was turned away."

Zhu Heng now feels that he is no longer seriously ill, but he has been in a coma for the past few days and has only been fed some liquid food, so he has no strength left.

He pounded the bed in anger: "The Zhao family's wolfish ambitions are obvious! How can I let them get what they want!"

Early the next morning, Concubine Zhao, surrounded by a group of palace servants, came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with an air of arrogance.

She entered the hall alone and saw Fushun still standing by the bed with a sad face.

"Fushun, please go out. I want to be alone with His Majesty for a while."

Concubine Zhao looked cold, and Fushun said with some hesitation: "My Lady, I'd better stay here. If His Majesty has any problem, I won't bother you to serve him. Just pretend that I don't exist."

"You bastard, you dare to disobey my words? I just want to talk to His Majesty, what are you worried about? Can I harm His Majesty?"

Concubine Zhao glared at Fushun with a fierce look in her eyes, which frightened him so much that he shrank his neck. He thought to himself, it's all your fault that His Majesty has become like this.

But now that His Majesty has woken up and has made his own arrangements, Fushun is just pretending and is not worried about anything.

"I obey your command and will leave immediately."

Concubine Zhao snorted coldly, watched Fu Shun retreat and close the door, then turned and walked towards the bed.
