At this moment, Qing Yu could no longer hold back the emotions surging in his heart, and he shouted hysterically: "Xian Guifei, you will not die well!"

The moment the words fell, someone kicked Qingyu hard in the head.

In an instant, Qingyu's head tilted and he fell down.

The queen's face turned cold, and she looked up at Concubine Xian: "You can humiliate me however you want, but don't touch my people."

"That's my business." Concubine Xian didn't care and looked at the Queen complacently, "It has come to this, and you are still bargaining with me here, don't you think it's useless?"

As she spoke, Concubine Xian stretched her feet forward, motioning for the Queen to lick them.

Just at this moment, Su Xin came in from outside and whispered something into Concubine Xian's ear.

After hearing this, Concubine Xian was very surprised. She looked at the queen fiercely. After rolling her eyes a few times, she flew into a rage: "Bitch, how dare you mislead me!"

The queen looked puzzled: "I don't understand what the concubine is saying."

"I mentioned Cui Shuyan's entry into the palace, but you deliberately changed the subject to Prince Xie's Mansion. But when my people arrived at Prince Xie's Mansion, they found nothing. You did it on purpose. You were trying to protect Cui Shuyan who had entered the palace!"

Thinking of Cui Shuyan's medical skills, Concubine Xian shouted, "Su Xin, get everyone out there and make sure to find Cui Shuyan's whereabouts! First, go to the Imperial Hospital!"

After saying this, Concubine Xian didn't care about the Queen and strode out.

The queen looked at her back and said silently in her heart: Shuyan, this is the best I can do.

Indeed, Concubine Xian was not wrong. She mentioned Prince Xie's Mansion just to deliberately divert Concubine Xian's attention.

If there was no reason, Cui Shuyan would not enter the palace again after leaving it just now, unless she found some key clues.

Cui Shuyan is knowledgeable in medicine, so her sudden discovery is most likely related to male and female insects.

Now, Concubine Xian is so presumptuous because she can control Emperor Zhaowu.

However, once Emperor Zhaowu returned to normal, Concubine Xian's conspiracy would instantly collapse.

That's why she endured the humiliation and blindly obeyed Concubine Xian's various unreasonable demands.

Hopefully, the time she gained will be useful to Cui Shuyan.

On the other side, after leaving Jinxiu Palace, Concubine Xian immediately led people to the Imperial Hospital.

It was already late at night, and although there were imperial physicians on duty in the Imperial Medical Bureau, they were not many.

Even Concubine Xian personally led people to check all the lighted rooms, but did not find Cui Shuyan.

This is very strange.

Concubine Xian felt that since Cui Shuyan entered the palace at this time, she must have discovered something.

In that case, she would definitely come to the Imperial Hospital as soon as possible.

Could it be that Cui Shuyan had been here, but had left before she came?

Therefore, Concubine Xian made a prompt decision and ordered people to call all the imperial doctors and medicine boys on duty that night to the yard and asked them whether they had seen Cui Shuyan and Princess Heshuo come today.

Everyone shook their heads and claimed that they had never seen these two people.

Concubine Xian frowned.

At this time, the people who went to search other places came back and said that they did not find Cui Shuyan and Princess Heshuo.

Concubine Xian snorted coldly: "Could it be possible that Cui Shuyan could fly into the sky and hide underground? Find her! Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find Cui Shuyan's whereabouts!"

Cui Shuyan is such a weird person. She has easily resolved so many fatal situations in the past. We must be on guard against her.

People immediately dispersed and searched everywhere for the whereabouts of the two.

Concubine Xian was unwilling to give up, and she walked around the Imperial Hospital again. After that, she suddenly realized something and asked the imperial physician following behind her: "Are all the imperial physicians on duty today here?"

The doctor thought about it and was a little unsure: "It seems that Doctor Liu is missing today."

Concubine Xian immediately became alert: "Which Imperial Doctor Liu?"

"Your Highness, you may not know that this Imperial Physician Liu was appointed Imperial Physician in the palace because of his meritorious service in treating the plague. However, he has always been a slippery person. He loves to be lazy and is unwilling to do anything extra. He would try to avoid his night duty if possible. If he really can't avoid it, he would probably just find a place to sleep."

"Is it Liu Youde?" asked Concubine Xian.

"It's him. Does the Imperial Concubine know him?"

Concubine Xian's eyes turned cold. It's more than just knowing.

Liu Youde entered the palace to treat the plague, and he was a thorn in her side.

Therefore, when Liu Youde first entered the palace, she wanted to find a reason to kill him.

However, Liu Youde was at the height of his fame at that time, and she hesitated and was unable to take action.

After a long time, I actually forgot about this person.

However, those who deserve to die will die sooner or later.

Today is the day Liu Youde will die.

Therefore, Concubine Xian ordered people to thoroughly investigate Liu Youde's whereabouts.

Not long after, Liu Youde was found sleeping soundly in an inconspicuous room in the corner.

When he was woken up, Liu Youde was still confused: "Am I awake? How come I saw the Imperial Concubine?"

"Someone, wake him up!"

Someone immediately stepped forward and slapped Liu Youde twice.

Liu Youde suddenly woke up. He slid down from the bed and knelt down smoothly to pay his respects. "I am Liu Youde, your humble servant. I greet the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health, beauty and eternal youth. Your Excellency is magnanimous and will forgive my laziness."

Concubine Xian sneered, "Liu Youde, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. I just want to ask you, where is Cui Shuyan?"

Liu Youde looked a little puzzled: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, it's already this time, Princess Xie must be in Prince Xie's Mansion."

"Liu Youde, you are pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth. Well, I will let you suffer a little and see if you can bear it."

After saying this, Concubine Xian waved her hand behind her, and two people came forward with sticks in their hands. Without saying anything, they hit Liu Youde with two sticks.

Liu Youde screamed in pain, shouting, "My Lady, spare my life!"

"If you tell me the truth, I will naturally spare your life. But if you are so stubborn, I can't help you. I will ask you again, have you seen Cui Shuyan today?"

"I've seen it! I've seen it!" As Liu Youde said this, he was already sweating profusely from the pain.

"You are such a jerk! You have to be in pain before you tell me! I want to ask you, when did you meet Cui Shuyan?"

"An hour ago."

"where is it?"

"She came here in the Imperial Hospital disguised as a palace maid."

"What did she say and do?"

Liu Youde grimaced in pain: "He just asked me for a few herbs, and then left."

"Where did she go after that?"

Liu Youde hesitated for a moment before saying, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, if I tell you, will you give me credit for it?"
