Hua Shu took a sip of the tea, played with the cup, and said with a smile: "I do have something to say to Your Highness."

Chu Yunfeng's smile deepened when he heard this: "In this case, Madam, please stop keeping us in suspense. Just say whatever you want to say."

Hua Shu didn't continue to talk nonsense, she went straight to the point and said: "Actually, I want to ask Your Highness, did your mother leave anyone for you back then."

Ever since Hua Shu heard Concubine Qi Hui and Concubine Li Shu say that Concubine Wang was the Queen's half-sister, she has been very suspicious whether the Queen had replaced Concubine Wang's identity back then.

That's why she asked Xiao Shengzi to keep an eye on Chu Yunfeng at all times. After hearing that he went to Chonghua Palace, she came here early to wait for him.

The purpose was to find out whether Concubine Wang had left anyone behind. If it was true as she guessed, she could overthrow the queen in a short time.

Chu Yunfeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After he reacted, he asked in confusion: "Why does the queen ask this?"

Hua Shu smiled harmlessly: "Nothing, I just wanted to hear the story of the past when I have nothing to do."

Chu Yunfeng knew that she had ulterior motives. Although he intended to join Chu Hengzhi, he still had to be cautious with Hua Shu, who had climbed to the position of concubine in just a few months.

After thinking about it, he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty must know that my mother died of complications during childbirth. I have never even seen her, so how can I know if she left anyone behind?"

Hua Shu knew that he was not telling the truth. If Concubine Wang really had not left anyone behind, he would never have survived until now. But if he didn't tell the truth, there was nothing he could do.

After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "It's me who is confused."

Chu Yunfeng smiled, stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Hua Shu smiled and nodded: "Your Highness, take care."

Chu Yunfeng smiled and bowed to her, then left with his personal bodyguard Li Nan.

After turning the corner, Li Nan couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, this is such a good opportunity, why don't you let her take a look for you?"

Chu Yunfeng shook his head and said solemnly: "Now is not the time, let's wait for some time."

Not to mention that asking Hua Shu to cure her illness now would arouse the Queen's suspicion, just take the question Hua Shu just asked.

It was obvious that she wanted to use him to deal with the Queen, but the time was not right yet and he could not take out his bargaining chips. He had better wait until he had talked to Chu Hengzhi first.

After thinking about it, he quickened his pace and took Li Nan out of the palace.

Here, Hua Shu looked at the direction where Chu Yunfeng left, with a very beautiful curve on her lips.

It seems that this Sixth Prince is not a simple person either.

But then again, it can’t be that simple for someone to survive in the palace.

After thinking about it, Hua Shu withdrew his thoughts, finished the tea in his hand, put down the teacup and said, "Let's go back."

Caiyue and Rendong responded, put away the tea set, and followed her to Chuxiu Palace.

Unexpectedly, just as they left the pavilion, they saw Concubine Fu and Nanny Wang walking over from the side.

Concubine Fu and Nanny Wang also saw Hua Shu and the others. Concubine Fu frowned and walked forward with a worried look on her face and said, "You are not well yet, why are you out?"

Hua Shu bowed to her and said, "I am already feeling very well. It is too boring to stay in the house all the time, so I thought of going out for a walk."

After saying this, she frowned slightly, and looked at Concubine Fu with a bit more coldness in her eyes.

Why does the smell of medicine on her body resemble the poison she was poisoned with? Could it be that she was the one who poisoned me last time?

Concubine Fu did not notice the coldness in her eyes. She said seriously, "Nonsense, now that you are pregnant and injured, you should rest in your room for a few more days."

As she spoke, she stepped forward, took Hua Shu's hand and said, "Come on, I will personally take you back to Chuxiu Palace."

Hua Shu didn't say anything else and let her lead her to Chuxiu Palace, but she was already a little more wary of Concubine Fu.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Concubine Fu thought she had scared her. She sighed softly and said softly, "You are pregnant now, you should rest more."

Hua Shu also smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Madam."

Concubine Fu patted her hands gently and was about to say something, but before she could finish her words she suddenly started coughing.

Hua Shu frowned slightly and asked, "Is the medicine I sent to you useless?"

Concubine Fu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, smiled palely and said, "I used it the day I took it, and I feel much better, but my illness is a heart disease, it's not so easy to cure."

Hua Shu didn't say anything. After several people entered Chuxiu Palace, she asked them to leave, took out a silver needle from the drawer of the dressing table, and walked in front of Concubine Fu.

The last time the Queen framed Hua Shu, Concubine Fu knew that she had medical skills, so she was not surprised to see her take out the silver needle.

"Don't bother, it's useless."

Hua Shu looked at her and smiled, "You have to try it to know if it works."

After hearing what she said, Concubine Fu didn't say anything else and she stretched out her hand.

After Hua Shu took her pulse, he picked up a silver needle and inserted it into several of her acupuncture points.

At first, Concubine Fu just wanted to let her try it. Unexpectedly, not long after the silver needle was inserted, she felt that her chest was not so stuffy anymore.

She looked at Hua Shu, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. Her medical skills were really so high.

After giving her the needles, Hua Shu took out another medicine bottle, poured out a pill and handed it to Concubine Fu.

I thought she would hesitate, but she took the medicine and put it in her mouth.

Hua Shu looked at her in surprise: "Your Majesty, don't you want the imperial physician to take a look?"

Concubine Fu looked at her and smiled gently: "I believe you won't hurt me."

Upon hearing this, Hua Shu couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Since she trusted him so much, how could she poison him?

After thinking about it, she told her again that the flowers she gave her last time were poisonous.

After hearing this, Concubine Fu stood up from the stool, walked to her side with an anxious look, and asked with concern: "Have you been poisoned?"

Hua Shu shook her head and did not tell her that she was poisoned. Instead, she said, "I am not poisoned. It's just that I don't understand why the concubine sent by the queen is poisonous."

After he finished speaking, he paused, glanced at her, and continued, "Moreover, the queen also has a smell similar to that of poison."

"On me?" Concubine Fu subconsciously sniffed her sleeves and said, "Why don't I smell it?"

Hua Shu said solemnly, "This medicinal smell is very special. Most people can't smell it, and the medicinal smell on the queen is already very light."

After listening to this, Concubine Fu fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Hua Shu couldn't help but ask, "Have you come into contact with anyone or anything these days?"

Concubine Fu shook her head subconsciously, but soon she thought of something and her face turned pale instantly.

"Could it be him..."
