Afterwards, the Queen talked to Yonglian for a long time. During that time, Mingyu and Erqing took turns to comfort the Queen and the Second Prince, telling them not to worry too much.

After a while, the Queen finally spoke: "Erqing, I see the time. The medicine from the Imperial Hospital should be ready. Please run some errands for me and get the medicine. I want to feed Yonglian myself."

Er Qing felt somewhat reluctant after hearing this. She thought to herself, "Obviously Wei Yingluo is here too. Even if it's not Wei Yingluo's turn to get the medicine, there's still Mingyu! Why did such a hard job fall on me?"

However, despite this, Er Qing still acted respectful on the surface, and quickly responded, "Yes, I obey your command, and I will go and come back quickly, and will not delay the prince's time to take the medicine."

"Go ahead. The medicine that Yonglian uses is very rare. I cannot rest assured if I let someone else go to get it. I can only entrust it to you. Erqing, thank you for your hard work."

The queen seemed to see through Erqing's inner thoughts and added this sentence deliberately.

Er Qing heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, thinking, so that's how it is, the person that the Queen values ​​and trusts the most is still me, how can others be compared with me!

Thinking of this, Er Qing showed a happy smile on her face and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust in me. I will go and get the medicine right away." After that, she turned and left.

After a while, Wei Yingluo stared at Er Qing's back as she walked away until she completely disappeared from her sight. Then she took a deep breath and prepared to tell the Queen everything she was thinking.

However, before she could speak, the Queen asked first: "Yingluo, why did you ask me to send Erqing away before you told me the solution you had in mind? Erqing has been with me for many years and has always been loyal to me."

Wei Yingluo stood with her head bowed, and responded calmly: "Your Majesty, I am not suspicious of Sister Erqing. I just think she is scheming and hard to figure out, and is not as straightforward and sincere as Mingyu."

Having said this, Wei Yingluo paused for a moment and thought to herself: Although Er Qing has not shown any evil deeds at this moment, the world is unpredictable, and many things in this life have changed dramatically. No one can predict what Er Qing will do in the future.

Besides, given her deep-minded appearance, she would be jealous if you were not careful.

The Queen is extremely intelligent. I'm sure she would be alert and pay attention if I give her a little reminder.

In this way, even if Er Qing had evil intentions and wanted to do evil, it would probably not be easy for her to succeed.

When Mingyu heard Wei Yingluo praising her for her honesty, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face.

But not long after, she seemed to come back to her senses, frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously: "For so many years, Er Qing has been loyal to the Queen. I really can't believe that she will betray the Queen in the future."

"You are too honest. You often only look at the surface and fail to tell the good from the evil in people's hearts. It's always a good idea to be more careful."

Wei Yingluo gently poked Mingyu's forehead, secretly sighing that this girl was too naive.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it later. Yingluo, tell me quickly, what kind of brilliant plan have you come up with?"

The Queen asked anxiously, and Yong Lian beside her blinked her big, lively eyes and stared at Wei Yingluo intently.

"My queen, the fact that the Second Prince was 'poisoned' is actually a good thing." Wei Yingluo replied calmly.

"How is that possible! How can it be said to be a good thing that my brother was nearly poisoned?" Mingyu widened her eyes and retorted indignantly.

However, the Queen Mother and Yong Lian glanced at her, indicating that Wei Yingluo should continue speaking.

"Your Highness, as the saying goes, too much wisdom leads to harm. This 'poisoning' must leave the Second Prince with some underlying illness. That way, everyone in the palace will know that it was because the imperial physician delayed treatment that the Second Prince was left with the underlying illness."

When the Queen and Yonglian heard this, their eyes brightened instantly, as if they had been enlightened, and joy appeared on their faces.

However, Mingyu on the side was confused, with a look of bewilderment. Seeing this, Wei Yingluo couldn't help but chuckle.

She turned to look at Mingyu and asked softly, "Mingyu, do you remember that I mentioned that even if the poison of thunder god vine is cured, the poisoned person will still have sequelae?"

Mingyu frowned and thought hard. After a moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him and he slapped his forehead hard.

Suddenly he realized, "Oh! Now I remember, it will make people infertile."

Before she finished speaking, the Queen's face turned slightly red, but Wei Yingluo didn't care. Instead, she continued speaking along the lines of Mingyu's words, with a sly gleam in her eyes.

"That's right! As long as we declare that the Second Prince has some sequelae, those concubines with ulterior motives will definitely investigate what the sequelae are."

"If they find out, they will think that the Second Prince cannot inherit the throne, and then they will not go to such great lengths to plot against him!"

Mingyu was extremely excited and couldn't wait to take over Wei Yingluo's words, speaking with a smile on her face.

"You are so smart!" Wei Yingluo couldn't help but smile softly with her hands covering her face. The Queen and Yonglian also smiled upon seeing this.

At this moment, Mingyu was full of confidence and was complacent about her own extraordinary wit, but she was completely unaware that Wei Yingluo was actually secretly "laughing" at her.
