This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 160: The most decent woman can act so well

All the people in the room were silent for a moment after hearing the news about Xiao Xiazi.

Concubine Jing instinctively hugged the noisy Wen Yi.

Shen Meizhuang calmly handed Jinghe to the wet nurse.

"Your Majesty, I want to go see Huan'er." Shen Meizhuang's words were filled with anxiety.

Hua Fei looked at Xiao Xiazi with a calm face. It was probably true that it was better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

"Go to Suiyuxuan." Yongzheng put away the jade beads in his hand and went straight out of Cunjutang.

When Lady Wan fainted, he was extremely anxious.

Shen Meizhuang, Concubine Jing and Concubine Hua also hurriedly followed the emperor and arrived at Suiyuxuan together.

As soon as I entered the main hall of Suiyuxuan, I heard the crying of the palace maids inside.

It was Huanbi and Liuzhu who were crying.

Jin Xi gently persuaded the two of them not to be sad.

"Well, there's no point in you two being so sad. The young master won't wake up right away."

"What if...if...what if the young lady can't wake up?" Liuzhu said with sobs.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The young lady is blessed by heaven and will surely wake up."

"Instead of crying here, you might as well go find the things that the young lady has touched or used recently, and see what kind of poison the person behind the scenes has put in her." Just as Jin Xi finished speaking, Xiao Xiazi's voice came from the door.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

"Concubine Hua is here!"

"Empress Jingfei has arrived!"

"Huigui has arrived!"

Jinxi, Huanbi and Liuzhu listened to the noise and looked at each other. Jinxi's eyes sparkled, suggesting that the two of them should wait and act accordingly.

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty." x3

"Everyone, get up. What did you just say?"

The emperor vaguely heard Jinxi's voice stopping Huanbi Liuzhu from outside.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Wen came to check your pulse just now and said that your Majesty might have been poisoned."

"Poisoned? What kind of poison?"

Yongzheng sat directly beside the bed, held Zhen Huan's hand, and the heartache in his eyes was revealed unexpectedly without any restraint.

When he heard that Zhen Huan was poisoned, he leaned forward involuntarily, his eyes slightly narrowed, thinking about something in his mind.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for my young lady." Huanbi knelt down in response, tears streaming down her face as she spoke.

Concubine Hua: Huanbi is a talented actress. I usually underestimated her.

Concubine Hua looked at Zhen Huan lying on the bed again. Her face was as pale as paper, her lips were bloodless, and the lines of her oval face appeared even clearer.

Concubine Hua couldn't help but complain in her heart, has Concubine Wan starved herself for several days just for today's show?

And there's Shen Meizhuang's anxious look when she looks at Zhen Huan. I didn't expect that the most decent woman could act so well.

"Once I have investigated the matter thoroughly, I will return justice to your young lady." The emperor then looked at Huanbi seriously.

Although Huanbi wears red and green and has vulgar tastes, at least she is loyal.

"Your Majesty, please understand. My young lady was harmed by a traitor and was poisoned."

Huanbi showed weakness while Liuzhu showed strength, and the two of them worked together to make the emperor form a preconceived idea that Concubine Wan was indeed framed.

"Go find the doctor."

Xiao Yunzi went out and invited Wen Shichu, who was waiting in the side hall,

"Your humble servant Wen Shici greets His Majesty for the first time."

"Tell me, what kind of poison has Lady Wan been poisoned by?"

"Your Majesty, someone must have tampered with the medicine I prepared for Lady Wan."

"What's the purpose of this Imperial Hospital?" The emperor's imposing manner frightened everyone in the room.

"Your Majesty, I just went to check the remaining medicine residue from Lady Wan's decoction. There is no problem with the proportion of the medicine."

"I think there was nothing wrong with the medicine when it was taken out from the Imperial Hospital. Something went wrong when it was boiled in Suiyuxuan."

"Didn't you say someone tampered with the medicine you prepared? How come there's no problem with the drug residue?"

"Your Majesty, look at how pitiful Concubine Wan is. You should cure her first." Concubine Jing looked like she was about to cry.

Concubine Hua was a little confused. Did Concubine Jing know about it or not?

"What Concubine Jing said is true. It is really pitiful for Concubine Wan to lie on the bed like this."

"Do you have any idea?" Yongzheng stared at Wen Shichu with his small, black eyes wide open.

"I have just given you an acupuncture injection. I think it will take some time for the poison to dissipate."

"That's good." Yongzheng put Zhen Huan's hand back on the bed, then walked to the Eight Immortals Armchair next to him and sat up straight.

Shen Meizhuang sat down next to Zhen Huan to confirm whether Zhen Huan was really okay.

"Su Peisheng, let the guards surround Suiyuxuan from top to bottom, and don't let even a bird escape easily." Yongzheng was determined to find out the reason why Concubine Wan was poisoned today.

Concubine Hua: Even when Noble Lady Fucha had a miscarriage, I didn’t see you make such a big fuss.

"Whoo."

"Wen Shichu, go and investigate. Don't let go of even a single needle or thread of this Sui Yuxuan. You must find out for me who dared to poison my Wan Wan."

Wen Shichu came out in response.

Yongzheng sat on the armchair with his eyes closed, waiting for the result.

Before Wen Shichu could find out the truth, the Queen arrived.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The Queen came in and bowed to the Emperor. "I heard that Lady Wan was poisoned, and the thief dared to reach out to the concubines in the harem. He is really bold."

After the queen stood up, she followed the emperor and sat on the armchair on the other side.

"Doctor Wen is already checking it out." Yongzheng said calmly without opening his eyes.

"Oh? Lord Wen is really hard-working. He has to take care of Concubine Hui and find out the reason for Concubine Wan's poisoning. The harem cannot survive without Lord Wen."

Ever since Shen Meizhuang gave birth, the empress dowager ordered the queen to stay at home, but it was just a matter between the aunt and niece, and the empress dowager did not publicize it.

The empress was well behaved for a long time, waiting until Nian Gengyao returned to Beijing. When she heard the emperor call Nian Gengyao his "benefactor", she asked Jianqiu to carry the food box to the Yangxin Palace and had a good talk with the emperor about how difficult it was for this couple who had to read people's eyes, one in the front court and the other in the harem.

By then, Shen Meizhuang's childbirth crisis had passed, and the emperor had dealt with the servants in the Imperial Stables, so the emperor's attitude towards the queen was as harmonious as before.

In addition, as the year is coming to an end, if news of the discord between the emperor and the empress spreads, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the country.

"I remember that Lord Wen does not hold a high position in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and it is Lord Wen's duty to take care of the concubines in the palace. Your words are a bit exaggerated, Queen." Concubine Hua could not stand the Queen's sarcasm.

"He made mistakes while on duty and Concubine Wan was poisoned, so naturally he has to take responsibility." Yongzheng cleared his throat to balance the tense atmosphere between Concubine Hua and the Queen.

"I found out!" Jinxi's surprised voice came from the door.
