The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

It turned out that after Li Xuansheng fainted, Lu Qingqing specially sent Sanpang to inform Concubine Xian about this.

The Queen is pregnant, and Concubine Xian has been in charge of taking care of all the trivial matters in the harem during this period.

Except for the small incident of Lu Qingqing fainting at the banquet, the rest of the birthday party was held perfectly, which was quite to Li Xuansheng's liking.

Therefore, after the Wanshou Festival, the power to assist in managing the six palaces was given to Concubine Xian.

However, the rash caused by alcoholism was caused by Concubine Shu.

If the matter was left to Li Xuansheng alone, Lu Qingqing was worried that he would show mercy because of his relationship with Concubine Shu.

But Concubine Xian would not do that.

Even though there was no overt discord between her and Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu had been the favorite for many years, so it was inevitable that Concubine Xian would feel resentful.

Lu Qingqing had made a brilliant plan. When she invited Concubine Xian to come today, she was undoubtedly handing Concubine Xian a sharp sword to defeat Concubine Shu.

She believed that Concubine Xian would definitely help her with today's matter!

Surrounded by a group of palace servants, Concubine Xian hurried to Yinglan Pavilion, her voice filled with anxiety and a hint of tears.

"Your Majesty, I am late!"

As soon as Concubine Xian stepped into the palace, she walked quickly to the couch and pushed aside Lu Qingqing, who had been serving her by the couch all night.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Lu fainted in the palace, so I rushed over. You...what...did it happen?"

When Concubine Xian saw that Li Xuansheng had regained consciousness, she thought that his dragon body was no longer in danger. However, when she took a closer look, she found that Li Xuansheng's cheeks were covered with dense red rashes.

She was so distressed that tears came out. Her right hand holding the silk handkerchief was hovering in the air. She wanted to touch him but was afraid of hurting him.

Li Xuansheng was ruthless in dealing with his political enemies, but he hated to see women crying in front of him. He felt distressed for the women he liked and disgusted with the women he disliked.

For Concubine Xian, it was a bit embarrassing.

When he was in the palace, Li Xuansheng had two concubines, one was Shufei and the other was Xianfei.

For a long time, he had witnessed the virtuous nature of Concubine Xian. Although there was a relationship between them as husband and wife, more often than not, Li Xuansheng treated her more like a housekeeper who could help him manage his affairs.

He patted Concubine Xian's shoulder, which was trembling from crying.

"Don't worry Huining, I am fine."

The virtuous concubine's mood soon calmed down.

She also knew the emperor's alcohol tolerance. He had drunk a lot of strong liquor before, but he had never had such a serious alcohol reaction.

What did Lu Qingqing give the emperor to drink?

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian's anger instantly surged in her heart. She staggered to her feet, holding up her heavy skirt, and turned around to walk in front of Lu Qingqing.

A powerful aura came towards Lu Qingqing's pavement.

Concubine Xian stared into Lu Qingqing's eyes, trying to see through the conspiracy in her heart at a glance, and asked in a stern voice.

"Mr. Lu, what kind of wine did you give the Emperor? How could it cause such a serious reaction in the Emperor?!"

Lu Qingqing was frightened by Concubine Xian's questioning and stepped back repeatedly.

Her eyes were filled with incredible grievance, and the corners of her eyes turned slightly red again due to her excitement.

I notified Concubine Xian to come here to help her, so why is it that this elder sister hasn't figured out the matter yet and instead points the finger at me?

At this moment, Lu Qingqing even began to doubt Concubine Xian's ability and level.

Could it be that Concubine Xian was worried about Li Xuansheng and was in a state of emergency?

Or is it that this elder sister is only good at organizing and preparing for ceremonies like the Longevity Festival?

But no matter what, he had to clear himself from it as soon as possible. He couldn't just watch Concubine Xian throw dirty water on him in front of Li Xuansheng.

So Lu Qingqing hurried to explain.

"My Lady, you misunderstood me. How could I harm the Emperor?"

"The peach blossom wine that Your Majesty drank last night was prepared by the imperial kitchen at the order of this concubine."

"Also, Doctor Dou has checked it, and there is absolutely no problem with the wine I prepared!"

Lu Qingqing spoke each word with an extremely firm attitude. Her little face flushed slightly with anger. The resolute voice coming out of her weak body actually had a kind of tenacious cuteness.

Li Xuansheng quickly stepped forward to defend him.

"Hui Ning, you have misunderstood. Doctor Dou also checked the dishes I had last night and found no problems."

"Besides, if there was something wrong with the food and wine last night, I wouldn't be the only one who fainted. Since Qingqing is fine now, it means the problem was not with the food and wine."

Concubine Xian had not expected that the Emperor would be so protective of Lu Qingqing.

Before she could even say the words to blame Lu Qingqing, she was choked back and had to explain awkwardly.

"Mr. Lu, I was anxious and wrongly blamed you. Please don't take it to heart."

In fact, it’s no wonder that Concubine Xian did this.

Li Xuansheng, who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, had a serious alcohol reaction after drinking a pot of peach blossom wine from Lu Qingqing's place. Anyone else would have suspected that it was the alcohol that was to blame.

Lu Qingqing was grateful to Li Xuansheng for defending her, but at the same time she blamed Concubine Xian for being such a useless teammate.

But before that, she had gone to Concubine Xian's palace to inquire about the preparation process for the Wanshou Festival, and also confessed to Concubine Xian that she wanted to find out the real culprit behind the destruction of her face.

At that time, Concubine Xian even suggested that it might be Concubine Shu. How come it has been just a few days and she has completely forgotten about it?

She was still standing in front of Concubine Xian in the custom-made palace dress she had worn for the birthday banquet!

How come Concubine Xian couldn't make any connection at all?

It seems that the foreign aid Lu Qingqing can no longer be relied upon, so he has to ask his own people to take action.

She gave Xiaotao a look, and Xiaotao immediately understood what she meant.

"Oh my dear! Why is there a rash on your neck?"

Xiaotao's sudden scream caught Li Xuansheng's attention.

When he heard that Lu Qingqing also had a rash, he immediately became nervous, as if he had forgotten that he was also a patient with a rash due to alcoholism.

"Qingqing, what's going on? Come here and let me take a look!"

Lu Qingqing also pretended to be frightened, moved closer and asked Li Xuansheng to help her check.

Sure enough, a circle of purple appeared on her snow-white neck, which looked like a circle of bruises caused by being strangled, but did not look like a rash caused by alcohol.

In fact, this circle of purple-red is the trace of Rhodiola rosea juice.

Lu Qingqing deliberately turned the collar of her dark purple robe inward. As it came into contact with her skin for a long time, the juice of Rhodiola rosea naturally stained her neck.

Li Xuansheng frowned and asked distressedly, "Qingqing, does it hurt?"

Lu Qingqing shook her head.

Indeed, it was just a little plant juice that stained me. It cannot be said that it hurts, but I can only say that I didn't feel anything at all.

It was Doctor Dou who was standing nearby who first noticed something was wrong.

In fact, he had already faintly smelled the scent of Rhodiola rosea juice in Yinglan Pavilion, but the smell was too faint, and he hadn't found the source of the smell, so he remained silent.

The purple-red circle on Lu Qingqing's neck aroused his suspicion.

Doctor Dou stepped forward quickly to ask for the emperor's instructions.

"Your Majesty, I think I have found the cause of your illness. I would like to ask you to change your clothes and give me the palace dress you are wearing now."

"I hope the emperor will agree!"
