The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

Gu Shijin is not the kind of person who will just accept what is happening and won't fight back. She is just a bit lazy, not a coward.

He keeps causing trouble for her, so let her see who the person behind this is.

Although Ningyu Pavilion is remote, Gu Shijin is not the only one living here. There are also several talented people living here.

Xiao Linzi had a good relationship with Xiao Lezi, the young eunuch in the palace of Yang Cairen next door, and the two of them often went to the imperial kitchen together to get meals.

Today, the two of them went together.

"Brother Lin, has Concubine Jin recovered?" Xiao Lezi asked with concern.

Xiao Linzi sighed: "Alas, the young master is awake, but her body is still very weak and she can hardly get out of bed."

The fact that Gu Shijin was poisoned was no secret in the harem. The emperor even banished Shunpin to the cold palace and demoted Li Guipin.

"Ah, how could this happen?" Xiao Lezi said with a worried look on his face: "Then Brother Lin must take good care of Lady Jinpin."

Xiao Linzi rolled his eyes and said, "Do you even need to tell me that?"

Xiao Linzi turned his head and looked around. After making sure that no one was around, he pulled Xiao Lezi aside and whispered, "Let me tell you, our young master was poisoned not only because of this, but also because..." Xiao Linzi lowered his voice and said, "It's also because Concubine Rou gave my young master a string of agate bracelets."

"Ah?" Xiao Lezi was shocked, his mouth was so wide open that an egg could fit in it.

Xiao Lezi whispered, "Didn't the emperor find out? Didn't he say that it was because Shunpin from the cold palace poisoned Lady Jinpin?"

"You know what? The poison can't be used alone. It must be stimulated by a medicine, and that agate bracelet is the medicine."

"That agate bracelet has been soaked in potion."

Xiao Lezi shook his body and said, "It's terrible."

"Then...did Concubine Jin give the agate bracelet to the emperor?" Xiao Lezi asked.

Hearing this question, Xiao Linzi glanced at Xiao Lezi, and then continued to say heartlessly: "No, the bracelet has long been returned to Concubine Rou by the young lady."

"It is because there is no evidence that the young lady did not tell the emperor."

Xiao Linzi's words are actually full of loopholes, but some people with guilty consciences will not notice them at all.

For example, the two groups of people who are eavesdropping behind Xiao Linzi and Xiao Lezi.

When they heard that Concubine Jin was poisoned and it was related to a bracelet, and that this bracelet seemed to be related to their master, they ran back to report without thinking twice.

After the two groups of people left, Xiao Linzi stopped talking and returned to his usual attitude.

In fact, what Xiao Linzi said today was not all nonsense. Before Gu Shijin sent the bracelet back, he did show it to the imperial physician, who said it was non-toxic, but it could not be used with the same medicinal ingredient. Unfortunately, the poison Zuilong contained that medicinal ingredient.

Although a long time has passed, no one except Concubine Ning and Concubine Rou knows exactly when Gu Shijin returned the bracelet to Concubine Rou, so she has the final say.

She is a victim now and is in a weak position, so naturally more people will believe in her.

Moreover, doing so can also test whether the person behind the scenes is Concubine Ning, after all, Concubine Ning is a doctor.

The young eunuch in Concubine Rou's palace ran back to the palace and immediately asked to see Concubine Rou.

"Miss, I really have something very important to report to the noble concubine." The young eunuch knelt in front of the door and pleaded with the maid of the noble concubine Rou.

He was just a small eunuch in Mengzhuxuan and usually never saw Concubine Rou. Today, he accidentally heard the news and hurried back to report it, hoping to leave a good impression on Concubine Rou and improve his status.

"Tell me what you have to say. The young master is resting and has no time to see you." The palace maid glanced at the young eunuch and said lightly.

"Miss, Miss, I have something very important to report!"

"What are you arguing about?" The irritable voice of Concubine Rou came from the room: "Come in."

The palace maid and the young eunuch walked in tremblingly.

"Your servant/servant greets the young master."

"What are you guys making so much noise for outside?!" Concubine Rou slammed the table and said angrily.

"My lady, it was this little eunuch who was standing at the door and insisted on seeing you," the maid blamed.

"Oh?" Concubine Rou looked at the young eunuch and said, "Why do you have to see me?"

"If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, you will have to report to the Ministry of Punishment."

When the young eunuch heard the words "Ministry of Punishment", his body trembled involuntarily. Seeing this, Concubine Rou smiled silently.

"My...my lady, today I met Xiao Linzi from Ningyu Pavilion in the Imperial Garden. I accidentally heard the conversation between Xiao Linzi and another eunuch. Xiao Linzi said...that the bracelet you are wearing is poisonous!" The little eunuch pointed at the agate bracelet that Concubine Rou was still wearing on her hand.

"What?" Concubine Rou was shocked and immediately took off the bracelet and threw it on the ground.

"What's going on? Explain it to me clearly!"

"Yes, my lady, your servant..." The young eunuch told Concubine Rou everything he had overheard today, but he was a little far away at the time and could not hear some of the words clearly, so what he said was not entirely correct.

For example, he didn't hear what Xiao Linzi said, that this bracelet was originally given to Gu Shijin by Concubine Rou.

Concubine Rou picked up the bracelet on the ground, looked at it carefully, and said, "Concubine Jin!"

"What's your name?" Concubine Rou looked at the young eunuch.

The young eunuch kowtowed happily and said, "My lord, I am Xiao Tianzi."

"Xiao Tianzi, right?" Concubine Rou nodded: "I will remember you. From now on, you will be the eunuch in charge of Mengzhuxuan."

It just so happened that the previous eunuch in charge of Mengzhuxuan died.

"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord." Xiao Tianzi had never thought that he would have such an opportunity to rise to the top overnight. He said, "I will definitely be loyal to you and do my best for you."

"Very good." Concubine Rou smiled and said, "Now I have something I need you to do."

"Please give your instructions, my lord." said Xiao Tianzi.

Concubine Rou said, "You should run to the Imperial Hospital in a hurry, shouting that the young lady is unconscious as you run."

"Yes, my lady." Xiao Tianzi agreed happily and then ran towards the Imperial Hospital.

Seeing Odazi leave, the palace maid who had been lowering her head since she came in flashed a hint of ridicule and pity in her eyes. Soon she would never see this eunuch named Odazi again.

There is a rule in the palace that no matter what happens, palace servants are not allowed to shout or scream in the palace.

She didn't believe that Xiao Tianzi didn't know this palace rule, but at this moment he was already overwhelmed by the benefits given by Concubine Rou Guipin.

In the end, the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau did come to Mengzhuxuan, but the eunuch named Xiao Tianzi never appeared in the palace again.
