"Master, Concubine Yun is here." Xiao Shengzi's voice came from outside the door.

Hua Shu and Ren Dong looked at each other with a hint of confusion in their eyes. Hadn't she always been avoiding them? Why did she come to them today?

Thinking of what Ren Dong had just said about the rumors in the palace, Hua Shu's eyes were filled with smiles. She said, "Qing, please invite Concubine Yun in."

Concubine Yi came in with a palace maid, bowed to Hua Shu and said, "Your concubine greets Concubine Yi."

Hua Shu did not go forward to help her, but smiled and said: "You are welcome, sister. Rendong, help Cairen up quickly."

"Yes." Ren Dong stepped forward, supported Concubine Yi and said, "Talented lady, please get up quickly."

After thanking him, Concubine Yi stood up and sat down with a gentle smile on her face.

After Hua Shu asked Ren Dong to pour her some tea, she asked curiously, "Why did you think of coming to my place today, sister?"

Upon hearing this, Yipin sighed softly and said, "I've been a little troubled lately, and I want to talk to someone but I don't know how to find someone. Today I suddenly remembered that the emperor once said that Your Majesty is considerate and asked me to come to Your Majesty if I have any questions. I came here with that in mind."

"Oh, I see." Huapin glanced at her with a smile, then poured herself a cup of tea and played with it in her hands.

"I don't know what has troubled my sister so much."

Concubine Yi glanced at her, sighed softly and said, "I think Your Majesty has already known that the rumor in the palace is that I am the reincarnation of Concubine Wang."

Hua Shu pretended to be surprised and looked at her: "I didn't know there was such a thing."

Yipin tightened her grip in her sleeves. With so many people around Hua Shu and so close to her, she didn't believe that she really didn't know about this. But she didn't show it and instead sighed softly.

"I don't know how such a weird thing could be spread. I am very upset, so I want to come and talk to you, Your Majesty."

Hua Shu sighed softly, put down his teacup, stood up and sat next to her, holding her hand, and said, "Actually, I heard before that you look a bit like Wang Cairen. Now that something like this has been reported, I guess someone can't tolerate you anymore."

Yipin wanted to pull her hand back, but in order not to arouse Hua Shu's suspicion, she forced herself to hold back, pretending to be scared but asking:

"I have never offended anyone, so who would not tolerate me?"

Hua Shu had already reached the desired conclusion. She withdrew her hand and stood up, saying, "I don't know who spread this story, but there is one thing my sister should know. You not only look like Concubine Wang, but also like the Queen."

As she spoke, she stared at Concubine Yi without blinking, as if she wanted to see something from her face.

But the result disappointed her. Instead of showing any abnormality on her face, Concubine Yi looked at Hua Shu with fear.

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that the Queen cannot tolerate a concubine."

Hua Shu retracted her gaze and smiled harmlessly: "I just said that my sister looks like the queen, I didn't say it was the queen who wanted to harm my sister, so please don't misunderstand my meaning."

Concubine Yi's face turned a little ugly. She didn't expect that even though she had taken the initiative to come to her for help, she was still so wary of her.

Hua Shu sat back in her seat, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be afraid. The emperor loves you so much now. Even if someone wants to harm you, they won't do it for the time being. You just need to hold on to the emperor tightly."

Concubine Yi looked at her with gratitude: "Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty."

After saying that, she hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "My lady, can I still come to you when I'm in a bad mood in the future?"

Hua Shu took another sip of tea and looked at her with a harmless smile: "As long as you want to come, I welcome you anytime."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I won't disturb your rest then." After Yipin bowed to her, she left Chuxiu Palace.

Hua Shu looked at her back with a playful smile on her lips. She waved to Rendong, and when she came to her, she spoke a few words to her in a low voice.

After hearing this, Ren Dong looked at her in shock: "Master, how do you know that Yun Cairen is Yi..."

Before she could finish her words, Hua Shu stretched out a finger and made a hushing gesture.

"Be careful, the walls have ears."

Honeysuckle swallowed the rest of her words, but the shock in her eyes did not diminish at all.

Hua Shu looked at the seat where Concubine Yi had just sat, and the smile in her eyes deepened. She was sure that many interesting things would happen next, and she was really looking forward to it.

After Concubine Yi came out of Chuxiu Palace, her face looked frighteningly ugly. Seeing this, Qiu Xin couldn't help but whispered, "Master, you came in person to show weakness to her, why is she still like this?"

Yipin's face had returned to its previous state, and she said calmly, "If she believed me so easily, she wouldn't be Hua Shu."

Qiu Xin obviously didn't understand what she meant, but she didn't ask any further.

Back at Lanyue Pavilion, Yipin thought for a moment and asked, "Have you found out who spread the news that I was dancing in the courtyard?"

Qiu Xin shook her head and said, "My Lord, I haven't found out yet, but I suspect it has something to do with the one in Chuxiu Palace."

Concubine Yi didn't say anything. She knew it was related to Hua Shu, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to Chuxiu Palace today.

After thinking for a while, she asked Qiu Xin to bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a few lines. After the ink dried, she handed it to Qiu Xin and said, "Find a way to send it to Chonghua Palace."

"Yes." Qiu Xin took it, put it in her sleeve, and walked out quickly.

Concubine Yi put down her pen, walked to the window and looked in the direction of Chuxiu Palace, her eyes turning cold.

Chuxiu Palace.

Not long after Concubine Yi left, Caiyue came in with Doctor He.

After Dr. He treated Hua Shu, he asked, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Hua Shu asked Xiao Shengzi to stand guard outside the door before saying, "It's not that I'm feeling unwell, but every time I get close to the emperor, I feel a sharp pain in my heart when I'm emotionally aroused. I want to ask Doctor He what the reason is."

Doctor He's eyes flashed with surprise, then he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, your medical skills are better than mine. If you don't know, then I can't find it out either."

Hua Shu smiled and said, "Although I know medical skills, it is difficult for me to heal myself."

Doctor He also knew that it was difficult for a doctor to heal himself, so he stepped forward and said, "Madam, please stretch out your hand, and I will take a look at it for you."

Hua Shu nodded and stretched out her hand. She knew something was wrong with her, but she couldn't find out the specific reason.

Doctor He took her pulse very seriously and asked her some questions. After hearing her answers, his expression became even uglier.

Seeing him withdraw his hand and stare at her without saying a word, Hua Shu's hand in her sleeve unconsciously tightened a little, but her face was calm and she said, "Doctor He, is there something wrong?"

Doctor He looked at her and said solemnly, "Madam, if I am not mistaken, you must have been poisoned by... love."
