Concubine Yi paused while pouring tea, a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes. The emperor had just arrived at her place and had not yet sat down.

Hua Shu was poisoned, what a coincidence.

When Emperor Wu Ren heard that Hua Shu was poisoned, he immediately stood up and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Xiao Shengzi hung his head and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, my queen felt uncomfortable after dinner. We were about to ask for the imperial physician, but she suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood and fell into a coma."

After hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren strode out with a gloomy face.

Seeing the situation, Concubine Yi hesitated for a moment but still followed.

She really wanted to know whether Hua Shu was really poisoned or was trying to use the poisoning to win favor.

Soon, Emperor Wu Ren and his entourage arrived at Chuxiu Palace. As soon as they entered, they saw Imperial Doctor He giving acupuncture to Hua Shu.

Hua Shu lying on the bed had a pale face and purple lips.

When Doctor He saw Emperor Wu Ren coming, he immediately bowed to him and said, "Your humble servant..."

Emperor Wu Ren interrupted him coldly: "What happened to Concubine Rou?"

Imperial Doctor He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou has been poisoned. I have already given her acupuncture to save her heart pulse, but she is pregnant now, so I dare not give her medicine rashly."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren's face turned grim: "This poison may affect the heir in Concubine Rou's belly."

Doctor He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, if the poison can be removed as soon as possible, there will be no impact. If it takes too long, not to mention the heir to the throne, even Concubine Rou may not be able to survive."

After these words came out, Emperor Wu Ren's face turned completely cold, and he said sternly: "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you help Concubine Rou to detoxify as soon as possible."

"Yes," Doctor He replied and continued to give Hua Shu acupuncture. After a while, he mentioned a few more medicinal herbs and asked someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to boil them and bring them over.

Rendong responded and walked out quickly. The worry on her face was not fake, because she knew that Hua Shu was really poisoned.

Concubine Yi also walked in at this time. When she saw Hua Shu's pale face, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She looked as if she had really been poisoned, but, isn't she a doctor? How could she have been poisoned?

Confused, Yipin couldn't help but ask softly, "Your Majesty, what happened to Concubine Rou?"

Emperor Wu Ren looked back at her and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Why are you here?"

Concubine Yi lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "I also wanted to come and see how Concubine Rou is doing."

Seeing her like this, Emperor Wu Ren felt a little disgusted for some reason. He said impatiently, "You go back first."

Hearing his somewhat cold tone, Concubine Yi was shocked, wondering if she had said something wrong.

But now she didn't dare to stay here any longer. Instead, she bowed to Emperor Wu Ren and left Chuxiu Palace.

The incident of Hua Shu being poisoned today was still a little too strange. Concubine Yi thought about it and whispered a few words to the palace maid beside her.

After hearing this, the palace maid nodded and walked towards Chonghua Palace.

Concubine Yi looked in the direction of Chuxiu Palace again before entering Lanyue Pavilion.

Here, seeing Hua Shu's increasingly ugly face, Emperor Wu Ren said anxiously, "Can you cure Concubine Rou's poison? Why is her face becoming increasingly ugly?"

Doctor He said with a grim expression, "Your Majesty, I have already used silver needles to control the toxins in your Majesty's body. Once you take the medicine, the poison in your Majesty's body will be eliminated."

Having said that, his heart was still in his throat, because the poison Hua Shufu had put in was too dangerous, and it could be fatal if one was not careful.

Emperor Wu Ren heard his words and was about to say something, but before he could finish his words, Ren Dong came in with a bowl of medicine.

"The medicine is coming, the medicine is coming."

Doctor He saw this and quickly made way for her, saying, "Hurry up and give it to the Empress. If it's too late, even a deity will be powerless to save her."

"Yes." Rendong responded and walked forward with Caiyue to help Hua Shu up and fed her the medicine.

Not long after Hua Shu took the medicine, her expression eased a little. Doctor He finally felt relieved upon seeing this.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, the poison in Concubine Rou's body has been cured, but her body was already very weak due to the injury last time, and it also affected the heir in her belly. If what happened today happens again, I'm afraid..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but Emperor Wu Ren knew what he meant. He looked at Ren Dong and Cai Yue and said in a deep voice, "I want to ask you, how could Concubine Rou be poisoned?"

Ren Dong, Cai Yue, Xiao Sheng Zi and the others knelt down together. Cai Yue lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, the queen was fine all day. She got poisoned after eating the cakes sent by the palace servants last night."

Wu Rendi's eyes sank: "What cakes, who sent them?"

Caiyue pointed at the cakes on the table and said, "It's the cakes on the table. The person who delivered the cakes said...the Queen Mother asked her to deliver them. When my queen heard that it was sent by the Queen Mother, she ate a few pieces without thinking too much. Who knew..."

When he heard that it was sent by the Queen, Emperor Wu Ren frowned. He didn't believe in his heart that the poison was sent by the Queen.

Because he felt that even if the queen really wanted to attack Hua Shu, she would not be stupid enough to do it so blatantly.

So, he directly asked Doctor He to check the plate of pastries, and Doctor He checked the pastries carefully.

"Your Majesty, the poison that Concubine Rou was poisoned with did come from this cake."

Hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren's hands unconsciously tightened in his sleeves. Just as he was about to say something, He Zhong walked in quickly from outside.

"Your Majesty, I caught a sneaky eunuch outside."

Emperor Wu Ren frowned and said coldly: "Bring the person in."

He Zhong responded and soon walked in with a man dressed as a eunuch.

The reason why he is said to be dressed as a eunuch is because he has a fierce look on his face and you can tell at first glance that he is not a eunuch at all.

Emperor Wu Ren looked at the eunuch who was pinned to the ground and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Was it you who poisoned Concubine Rou?"

The eunuch glanced at Wu Ren, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say to you, but I can only say it to you."

After listening to this, He Zhong frowned and looked at Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, I think..."

Before he could finish his words, Emperor Wu Ren interrupted him and said, "Tie him up, and all of you leave. I want to hear what he has to say."

After hearing what he said, He Zhong didn't know what to say. He had the eunuch tied up and then everyone left.

After the door was closed, no one knew what the eunuch said to Emperor Wu Ren.

All I know is that after about half an incense stick of time, Emperor Wu Ren walked out of the house with a gloomy face.

He Zhong was asked to take the eunuch to the imperial study, and at the same time someone was asked to call the prince into the palace.

As soon as Emperor Wu Ren and his party left, Hua Shu on the bed opened her eyes. Although her face looked ugly, her eyes were full of determination.

At the same time, in the Fourth Prince's Mansion,

Chu Hengzhi, who was originally talking to Su Zefeng, covered his chest in pain, with blood constantly flowing out of the corners of his mouth.
