As soon as these words were spoken, Caiyue and Rendong's faces turned cold at the same time.

Caiyue even pushed Hua Shula back a step, stood in front of her, and looked at the pot of flowers with unfriendly eyes.

"Honeysuckle, the master is still injured, take the flower out quickly."

Honeysuckle responded and prepared to take the flowers out.

Hua Shu said first: "Wait a minute,"

Upon hearing this, Rendong and Caiyue looked at her in confusion.

Hua Shu didn't explain. She walked forward, picked a flower, and put it to her nose and smelled it.

Seeing this, Caiyue said anxiously, "Master, you knew that this flower was poisonous, why did you pick it and smell it?"

Hua Shu looked at the flower in his hand and said solemnly, "The poison on this flower has almost dissipated."

Caiyue stepped forward, took the flowers from her hand, threw them aside and said, "Even if they are scattered, you can't touch them."

After she finished speaking, she helped Hua Shu walk to the chaise longue and sat down.

Hua Shu didn't say anything, but stared straight at the flower. If she guessed correctly, the poison on the flower was called "Drunken Immortal".

This poison is only effective on people who are seriously injured. Those who are poisoned will first fall into a state of suspended animation, then have difficulty breathing, and finally die in their sleep.

No wonder Rendong said she was dead. Even Doctor He said she had no pulse.

However, she didn't understand how this long-lost poison could appear in the palace.

Also, how did she cure the poison?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Caiyue couldn't help but said, "Master, these flowers were sent by Nanny Wang herself. Could it be that the imperial concubine wants to harm you?"

Hua Shu retracted her thoughts and shook her head, "It shouldn't be the Imperial Concubine. If she really wanted to harm me, she wouldn't have to do it so obviously."

However, she still wanted to test Concubine Fu. After all, no one could predict the human heart.

Hearing her say this, Caiyue frowned even more tightly: "But these flowers were sent by the imperial concubine. Could it be that someone wants to use her to harm you?"

Hua Shu didn't say anything. She suddenly thought of something and looked at Ren Dong and said, "Ren Dong, my wound hurts a little. Can you go to the Imperial Hospital to see if my medicine has worked?"

"Yes." Honeysuckle responded and walked out.

After she left, Hua Shu asked Caiyue to close the door, open the window, and take the flowers to the window.

After she had done all this, Hua Shu asked, "Caiyue, tell me honestly, who cured my poison?"

Seeing that she asked, Caiyue did not hide anything and directly told her that Xiao Juzhu had been there.

"My Lord, it was my cousin who cured you of the poison."

Cousin, Xiao Juzhu?

He was really in the palace, but how could it be such a coincidence that he knew he was poisoned and arrived so timely.

Hua Shu frowned and asked, "Besides helping me detoxify, did he say anything to you?"

Caiyue nodded and said, "My cousin wanted to leave after he gave you the medicine that can cure all kinds of poisons. I asked him to wait until you wake up before leaving. He said he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he left. He also asked me not to tell you that he cured you of the poison. He also said that he entered the palace after hearing that you entered the palace."

After saying this, she suddenly remembered something and continued, "From the way he is dressed, I think he is a guard. I just don't know which palace he works for."

After listening to her, Hua Shu fell into deep thought. It seemed that the figure she saw before was indeed Xiao Juzhu.

But how could it be such a coincidence that he knew he had been poisoned, and also such a coincidence that he happened to have medicine that could cure all poisons.

Could it be that he has been protecting me secretly, or watching my every move in secret?

The more Hua Shu thought about it, the more her brows furrowed. Why did all this seem so much like a trap, and it was a trap set by her?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Caiyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, if the young master really entered the palace for you, would you like to find out which palace he works for?"

Hua Shu shook her head and said, "No need."

Regardless of whether Xiao Juzhu entered the palace for her, even if he really entered the palace for her, she would not go looking for him.

The reason why she wanted to see her so much before was because she wanted to figure out what happened.

Now she knows what she should know, and also knows some of the things she shouldn't know, so what she has to do now is to climb to a high position and take revenge.

Instead of reminiscing about the past and chatting about family matters.

However, she still felt that it was too much of a coincidence that Xiao Juzhu detoxified her today.

So when necessary, she would still meet with him, but definitely not now.

After hearing what she said, Caiyue didn't say anything else.

After Hua Shu figured it out, her eyes fell on the pot of flowers again. The most important thing now was to find out whether the poison came from Concubine Fu.

After thinking about it, she asked Caiyue to come forward and spoke a few words to her in a low voice.

After listening to this, Caiyue nodded and said, "I will do it when Rendong comes back."

Hua Shu nodded, leaned back on the chaise longue and dozed off, with a myriad of thoughts running through her mind.

……

At the same time, Zhaoyang Palace.

Concubine Fu looked at Xiao Juzhu and asked in confusion, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Juzhu looked a little unhappy and said, "I went to Chuxiu Palace."

After hearing him say that he went to Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Fu asked, "Did you recognize her?"

Xiao Juzhu shook his head, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes. He sighed softly and said, "I hid in the distance and secretly watched her for a while and then left. I didn't dare to appear in front of her, because I was afraid that I would not be able to resist and want to take her away."

Concubine Fu listened too much to his words. Thinking of what happened to her, a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes. She sighed and said, "Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. How can you take her away so easily?"

Xiao Juzhu had been observing her expression. Seeing that she looked sad, a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Then he knelt down in front of her and said, "Please help me, Madam. Even if I can't take her away, at least I can protect her."

Concubine Fu sighed and stepped forward to help him up: "I also want to protect her, but it's easier to avoid an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark."

Xiao Juzhu stood up and looked at her, pretending to hesitate for a long time before saying, "If you can't prevent it, then uproot the person who wants to harm her."

When Concubine Fu heard him say this, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at him seriously: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Xiao Juzhu didn't look at her. He said with a firm look in his eyes, "I just want to protect her. As long as I can protect her, I will do it even if it costs my life."

Seeing him like this, Concubine Fu couldn't help but think of the day she entered the palace.

The man stopped her carriage regardless of everything and told her that as long as she didn't want to enter the palace, he would take her away even at the cost of his life.

When she thought of that person, Concubine Fu felt so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe, and she started coughing violently.

Seeing this, Xiao Juzhu hurried forward to help her sit down, and where Concubine Fu couldn't see, he sprinkled a packet of medicine powder on her.
