The prince wanted to die, and the doctor raised her hand and slapped him

Renming Palace is the Queen's palace. The Emperor said this because he wanted her to be the Queen!

Realizing this, Concubine Zhao was so surprised that even her breathing quickened.

Suddenly, Su Yinyue’s words flashed through his mind.

Concubine Zhao ran the tip of her tongue across her teeth, went over the emperor's words in her mind twice, and keenly discovered the problem.

Whether she was in charge of the Phoenix Seal or moved into the Renming Palace, the Emperor never explicitly said the four words "conferring her with the title of empress".

Once she believed what the emperor said and started to exercise the power of the queen, everything she did thereafter could become a reason to attack her!

Status is so important. Didn’t you see that even when Sun Jun rebelled, he had to force the emperor to write an edict of succession?

Concubine Zhao tightened her lips, took a deep look at the handsome face of the man in front of her, and there was a layer of sadness in her eyes.

Having no name or status is just like drawing a pie in the sky.

"Why don't you speak?"

Emperor Mingde smiled, as if he didn't notice Concubine Zhao's abnormality. "Are you so happy that you've gone crazy?"

Concubine Zhao forced a forced smile, stood up and knelt to confess her guilt, "Yu'er disobeyed the emperor's order and took the tiger talisman. It was because of my poor teaching."

"Your Majesty, you have not taken this to heart and have allowed me to keep the Phoenix Seal temporarily. This is already a great favor. How can I go further and dream of the Renming Palace?"

When the tiger talisman was mentioned, Emperor Mingde's eyes darkened for a moment, but when Concubine Zhao looked over, he quickly calmed down and sighed, "Old Five, that kid, ah..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled Concubine Zhao into his arms, "Since you don't want to go to Renming Palace, then let's forget about this matter."

Before Concubine Zhao could be happy, she heard him continue, "A mother worries when her son is away from home. Yu'er is away, so I think Xi'er must be worried too. But the palace affairs cannot be done without Xi'er..."

"How about this, I will find you an assistant to take care of the palace affairs."

Concubine Zhao felt uneasy and was about to introduce the concubines in the palace when she felt Emperor Mingde pinch her shoulder.

A moment of distraction caused Emperor Mingde to speak out, "How is Princess Su, Princess Yu?"

Concubine Zhao’s eyes widened. Su Yinyue definitely couldn’t do it.

She was full of faults, and she was always right in finding them.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate..."

Emperor Mingde was like a deaf and blind man, just talking to himself.

"Yu'er is a man of both civil and military talents. I have always wanted to entrust him with important tasks, but his princess does not know the difference between respect and inferiority and is unbearable to look at. Now that I think about it, marrying such a princess is really an injustice to Yu'er..."

"The palace has strict rules and regulations, and Su Shi can learn from you how to be a gentle and virtuous princess!"

"My Lady, I will leave it to you to let Su enter the palace."

The king's order had already been spoken, and Concubine Zhao had no choice but to comply, "I obey your order."

Emperor Mingde achieved his goal. He took Concubine Zhao into the inner room and went to sleep on the couch.

The next day, the morning light dewed slightly.

Emperor Mingde opened his eyes and saw Concubine Zhao sleeping soundly. He sat up quietly, lifted the bed curtain and called out Huai'en.

"Should I take medicine at this time?"

The skin wound on Emperor Mingde's chest had almost healed, but the poison remained in his body, causing him to lose energy and become increasingly weak.

The medicine he is drinking now is the antidote prescribed by Ying Qiong.

It helps, but not much.

Huai En replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, your medicine will take another quarter of an hour to be boiled. Do you want me to ask someone to send it from Funing Palace?"

"No need." Emperor Mingde helped Huai En get off the bed, "I'll go back to Funing Palace to drink."

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the hall returned to silence.

Concubine Zhao's eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes and looked up at the tent ceiling embroidered with hundreds of birds.

There is clarity in my eyes.

"As one wishes."

Ruyi lifted the bed curtain, "The servant is here."

Concubine Zhao got out of bed and asked as she washed her face, "What did the emperor say to you before he left?"

"The Emperor asked His Majesty to summon the princess to the palace as soon as possible."

Concubine Zhao sneered, thinking the same thing as she did.

"Seeing that I didn't fall for it, I immediately changed people. Su Yinyue, have you ever thought that you are also part of the conspiracy?"

Ruyi, who had heard the whole story yesterday, said worriedly, "My queen, are you really going to summon the princess to the palace?"

Concubine Zhao raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "Su Yinyue is just a troublemaker. She is my helper? Oh, I don't want to clean up her mess."

Ruyi, "If the princess doesn't come to the palace, it will be difficult to explain to the emperor..."

"Let her pretend to be sick and avoid it."

Ruyi was worried, "What if the imperial physician finds out?"

Concubine Zhao's eyes flashed darkly, "Then let the imperial physician shut up."

Ruyi received her meaningful look, waved her hand to let all the palace servants go out, and closed the door herself.

Then he followed Concubine Zhao into the back hall - the room where Concubine Zhao's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law were enshrined.

Looking at the four spirit tablets on the altar, Concubine Zhao was moved and tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously.

Holding incense and bowing three times, she took down Zhao's mother's spirit tablet.

Under Ruyi's astonished eyes, he opened the secret compartment at the base of the spirit tablet and took out a yellowed piece of paper.

Concubine Zhao handed the paper to Ruyi and said, "Memorize it first and write it to Su Yinyue after you leave the palace."

When I unfolded it, it turned out to be a prescription.

After spending half an hour memorizing it thoroughly, Ruyi asked, "Madam, why did the late Madam leave a prescription for you?"

Concubine Zhao tightened her grip around her mother's spirit tablet and her voice became hoarse.

"Mother said that after entering the palace, one's fate is no longer in one's control. If you encounter danger and cannot show up, you can take this prescription and pretend to be sick to avoid it temporarily."

Ruyi looked at the prescription seriously and asked, "What is the disease?"

Concubine Zhao spat out two words, "Smallpox."

"what?"

Ruyi was shocked and suddenly felt that the fingers holding the paper were burning with fire and twitched in pain.

Concubine Zhao smiled at her soothingly, "After taking this prescription, your body will become hot and your pulse will be similar to that of smallpox, but you are not really infected with smallpox."

Ruyi's heart was immediately relieved, and she was in high spirits, "People avoid smallpox like snakes and scorpions, no one dares to bet that the princess is faking illness."

"It is only natural that the princess cannot enter the palace since she has contracted smallpox. It will also be easier to explain to the emperor."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Concubine Zhao said quietly, "What a pity, such a good method can only be used once."

"You're still using it on Su Yinyue. I can't get over the fact that I'm so angry..."

Ruyi comforted her, "Hanyuan Palace was in danger that night, but fortunately the princess rescued you and your majesty was able to survive."

"Besides that, Your Majesty has also gotten rid of Fang Zhiyan, who is a big worry to her. I think the princess is quite filial..."

He swallowed the rest of his words when he saw the faint five finger marks on Concubine Zhao's face.

She forgot that the queen had just washed her face in the morning and the fingerprints on her face had not yet been covered by powder.

Ruyi was about to say something to add to the conversation when she heard Concubine Zhao say that she had to put on a full show to prevent Su Yinyue from bringing smallpox into the palace. She would return to the palace as soon as Su Yinyue recovered.

"Yes."

-

Royal Palace.

The sun was rising overhead and Su Yinyue had just finished her morning martial arts training when she heard a servant come to report that Concubine Zhao had sent someone.
