Emperor Wu Ren frowned, looking somewhat displeased, and said, "Didn't I ban her from leaving? Why are people from her palace here?"

He Zhong lowered his head and said, "I don't know either, but I noticed that the palace maiden looked very anxious. Does the emperor want to see her?"

Emperor Wu Ren was about to refuse, but Hua Shu said softly, "Your Majesty, please meet him. Maybe there is something urgent."

She really wanted to know what Concubine Qi Hui wanted to do by suddenly sending someone over.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren thought for a moment and said, "Let her in."

He Zhong responded and called in Concubine Yi, who came from Concubine Qi Hui's palace under the identity of Yunxiang.

Concubine Yi came in, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your servant greets His Majesty, Lady Roupin."

She lowered her head, and Hua Shu did not see her appearance clearly, but Emperor Wu Ren still recognized her as the palace maid who followed Concubine Qi Hui that day based on her figure.

Something in his heart began to waver, but he did not show it. Instead, he asked, "What did Huipin ask you to do?"

Concubine Yi raised her head slightly, her face pale as she said, "My queen has been poisoned and is in imminent danger. I beg the emperor to save my queen."

Her movements were just right, allowing Emperor Wu Ren to see her profile and her tearful eyes, looking very touching.

Emperor Wu Ren's throat tightened unconsciously. Concubine Yi's appearance reminded him of the scene when he first met Empress Liu.

At that time, Empress Liu was frightened by the horse and looked very charming. It was because of this that he fell in love with Empress La.

Hua Shu also saw Concubine Yi's appearance at this time. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Why did this palace maid look so much like the queen?

What a coincidence that she was a maid in Concubine Qi Hui's palace, and Concubine Qi Hui asked her to invite the emperor. Isn't all this too much of a coincidence?

Thinking of this, Hua Shu subconsciously glanced at Emperor Wu Ren, and saw that he was staring at Concubine Yi without blinking.

She guessed that all this was part of Concubine Qi Hui's plan. In her previous life, she had heard that Emperor Wu Ren was obsessed with Empress Liu when he was young.

It is impossible that Concubine Qi Hui didn't know what she knew.

Now that I am middle-aged, if I could meet someone who obsessed me when I was young, I believe anyone would be obsessed with him or her.

But she was a little curious about where Concubine Qi Hui found someone who looked like the queen.

Seeing that Emperor Wu Ren did not respond, Concubine Yi hesitated for a moment and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Wu Ren, saying, "Your Majesty, please save my queen. Please, Your Majesty, please save my queen."

Emperor Wu Ren also reacted at this time. He frowned and said, "Why would she be poisoned?"

Concubine Yi raised her head, tears streaming down her cheeks as she said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened. Today, after the lady ate the food sent by the guards, she complained of abdominal pain. After a while, she vomited blood and fell unconscious. I had no choice but to come and ask for your Majesty's help."

Emperor Wu Ren was about to speak, but Hua Shu got there first and said anxiously, "Since he's been poisoned, why don't you go and get the imperial physician right away? What will happen if you're late?"

Concubine Yi lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, my queen is still under house arrest. Even if I go to ask for a doctor, no one will come. I have no choice but to ask for the emperor."

Hearing this, Hua Shu pretended to be a little worried and looked at Emperor Wu Ren: "Your Majesty, Sister Huipin has been poisoned. Why don't you go over and take a look? If something really happened, you can always come back."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren stood up and said, "He Zhong, have someone call the imperial physician to Huipin's palace."

He Zhong responded and went down to give orders.

Emperor Wu Ren was about to leave, and Hua Shu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will go with you."

Emperor Wu Ren frowned and looked at her: "You are still injured, it is not suitable for you to move. Just wait for me here, I will be back soon."

After hearing what he said, Hua Shu didn't say anything else and personally saw him out the door. She didn't look away until he and Concubine Yi disappeared into the darkness.

But she did not go into the house. Instead, she stood in the yard looking at the half moon in the sky, wondering what she was thinking.

Caiyue brought a cloak and put it on her, saying, "Master, it's cold at night, go inside and wait."

Hua Shu smiled at her and said, "Let someone close the palace gate."

Caiyue and Rendong looked at each other, looking at her in confusion: "Master, didn't the emperor say he would come back?"

Hua Shu collected her thoughts, looked at them and smiled: "Didn't you find that the palace maid looks like someone?"

Like a person?

Caiyue and Rendong recalled the appearance of the palace maid, and after they figured it out, they were both stunned at the same time.

Caiyue said in shock: "She looks like the queen..."

Hua Shu nodded and walked into the house, saying, "You should have heard about the emperor and the queen, so the emperor will not be back tonight. Let Xiao Shengzi close the palace gate and you can all go down and rest."

After hearing what she said, Caiyue and Rendong didn't say anything else and closed the door with Xiao Shengzi.

……

At the same time, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiao Junru knocked on a door while carrying food. After a moment, the door was opened from the inside.

Hua Jingxuan looked at the person who came and was stunned for a moment, but he still called out, "Mother."

Xiao Junru had a loving smile on her face and said gently, "Xuan'er, I personally cooked some of your favorite dishes for you. Please try them and see how they taste."

Hua Jingxuan looked at the food in her hand without saying anything, but he still made way for her.

After Xiao Junru came in, she put down the food and looked at her expectantly.

Hua Jingxuan hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites. However, no matter how delicious the food was, it now tasted like chewing wax in his mouth.

"How is it?" Xiao Junru asked with a loving smile on her face. If you don't know, people might think they have never been separated in the future.

Hua Jingxuan put down his chopsticks and said in a low voice: "The taste is still the same as before."

Xiao Junru felt so distressed when she saw him like this. She couldn't control herself anymore and went forward to hug him.

"Good boy, it's my mother who is sorry for you."

Hua Jingxuan, who had been very calm, could no longer hold back his tears after being hugged by her, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.

Seeing him crying like this, Xiao Junru's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by a big hand, making her a little breathless.

"Xuan'er, mother is sorry for you." Her voice was a little choked up. No matter how to say it, he was a piece of her flesh after all.

Hua Jingxuan cried for a long time before he calmed down. He looked up at Xiao Junru and asked, "Mother, can you tell me whether Hua Huaiyuan is the father of me and my sister?"

Xiao Junru felt even more distressed when she saw him like this. She wiped away his tears with a handkerchief and said seriously:

"Xuan'er, mother will tell you the truth today. Hua Huaiyuan is indeed your father."
