I traveled through time with my best friend.

After Concubine An left, she told Cui Er who was standing beside her, "Go tell Aunt Su Yun that the matter has been settled. It's up to her to handle it from now on."

"Yes." Cui'er trotted away quickly.

Concubine An walked towards Xuanzheng Hall. Hong Fu was guarding the door. Seeing Concubine An coming so late, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Concubine An, why are you here so late?"

Concubine An smiled and said, "I personally prepared some supplements for the emperor, and I want him to try them."

"Um...but..." Hong Fu said with embarrassment: "The Emperor is still discussing matters with Lord Pei, I'm afraid Your Majesty will have to wait for a while."

"It's okay. I'm here to deliver some supplements." Then she raised her hand slightly, and the palace maid behind her took the food box.

"I'll have to trouble you, eunuch. Remember to let the emperor taste it later."

Hong Fu respectfully took the food box and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will tell the Emperor that Your Majesty cares about His Majesty's health and specially prepared some tonic food to come and see His Majesty."

"Sir, you still understand what I mean." As she said this, she looked at the palace maid beside her. The palace maid took out a bag of silver from her arms and handed it to Hong Fu.

Hong Fu quickly refused, saying, "No merit, no reward. Your Majesty is too kind to me."

"Just keep it if I give it to you. The emperor still has to rely on you, eunuch."

Hong Fu lowered his head and paused, then reached out and quickly took the silver and money, saying with a smile: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

Concubine An smiled and said, "Then I will go back first."

"Congratulations, my dear wife."

In the Imperial Garden, the two were drinking happily. Not long after, Jiang Xue smelled an unusual fragrance. She frowned and immediately stood up and said to Lin Yiyi, "Yiyi, do you smell any fragrance?"

"Fragrance?" Lin Yiyi stood up with her face slightly red, propped up the stone table, and looked at Jiang Xue with a dazed look, "What fragrance?"

Jiang Xue looked at Lin Yiyi's face, which had turned red at this moment, and reached out to pat Lin Yiyi's red face, "Are you drunk?"

Lin Yiyi shook her head and said, "No." Then she patted her head, frowned and said, "Xue'er, I feel dizzy and hot." Then she took off her cloak.

Jiang Xue felt something was wrong. How could Yi Yi drink so much with such a small amount of wine? She quickly grabbed Lin Yiyi's hand and felt her pulse. Her pulse was beating very fast.

Without waiting for Jiang Xue to diagnose carefully, Lin Yiyi pulled her hand back, grabbed her collar, and murmured: "It's so hot..."

At this time, Jiang Xue smelled the fragrance again, and suddenly felt dizzy. She quickly covered her mouth and nose, and pulled Lin Yiyi out of the Imperial Garden.

The palace was very big. She didn't know where she was going with Yi Yi. Jiang Xue looked around. It was desolate and cold. There seemed to be a palace hidden in the darkness not far ahead. Then, she frowned. How could there be such a desolate place in the palace?

The effect of the medicine took effect at this time, and Lin Yiyi's face became even redder under the moonlight. Jiang Xue didn't even need to take her pulse now, she knew they were infected.

She is better than Yiyi and can hold it in. Yiyi's body must have just recovered not long ago, so the effect of the medicine took effect so quickly.

Jiang Xue immediately took out two pills from her arms, fed one to Yiyi, and took one herself. This pill was not specifically for this kind of treatment, but it could reduce fever. She didn't know if it was useful for this kind of treatment.

When Jiang Xue was thinking about where to go, she suddenly remembered the jade whistle Pei Zhijin gave her. She quickly took it out and blew it a few times. She had blown the whistle for a long time on Baishan Mountain before, but Pei Zhijin never showed up. She knew it was because the distance was too far.

But now both of them are in the palace, they should be able to hear it.

When the whistle was blown, Jiang Xue also exposed her position, and soon someone blocked Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi had completely lost her fighting ability at this time and could only rely on Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue looked at these guards dressed as eunuchs, all of whom had martial arts background, and she might be defeated after just a few moves.

I had to stall for time and asked, "Who sent you here?"

"You two ladies should just follow us obediently, so you will suffer less."

"dream!"

"No wonder we resorted to violence." The leader said, then looked at the people beside him and signaled for action.

Jiang Xue was not to be outdone. Feeling dizzy and nauseous, she randomly sprinkled the poison on her body, praying that someone would pass by or that the patrolling guards would find her.

However, until all the poison on his body was sprayed, no one came over.

Jiang Xue's whole body was beginning to heat up. It seemed that the pill she had just taken was useless. She could only vaguely hear someone say, "Even the most powerful martial artist would fall down if they were hit by the aphrodisiac. Get them out of here quickly."

Jiang Xue wanted to resist, but she had no strength left. She wanted to see Yi Yi's condition, but her consciousness began to overwhelm her.

When those people were about to take Lin Yiyi and Jiang Xue away, a figure suddenly flashed over quickly, kicked the person holding Jiang Xue, and then swept his leg to knock down the person holding Lin Yiyi.

He held Jiang Xue's waist with one hand and used the sword in the other hand to catch Lin Yiyi who was about to fall.

When those people saw that the person coming was Pei Zhijin, they ran away in panic.

Pei Zhijin gently put Lin Yiyi on the ground, then looked at Jiang Xue with a worried look on his face and said softly, "Jiang Xue, how are you?"

Jiang Xue blushed. Knowing that the person was Pei Zhijin, she resisted the urge to speak: "I... Yiyi and I... were drugged..."

Pei Zhijin frowned after hearing this. When he heard the whistle, he ran over without delay, but he didn't expect it was too late.

Seeing Lin Yiyi standing up from the ground and walking towards him, Pei Zhijin knocked Lin Yiyi unconscious without hesitation. He put his arm around Jiang Xue and grabbed Lin Yiyi's wrist through her sleeve with the other hand, and walked towards the palace gate.

Yuehua Palace.

Prince Yan was sitting in the palace, listening to Concubine Hua saying earnestly, "Zi Yan, Prime Minister Lin has already informed your father that he wants to cancel your engagement with the Lin family, and your father has agreed. I remember that you also disagreed with this marriage before, so why are you still unwilling to cancel the engagement now?"

Wang Ziyan frowned, thinking that if he canceled the engagement, he would have nothing to do with Yi Yi, so he said, "Aunt, I don't agree to cancel the engagement. I like Yi Yi."

"But you have never met each other, so how come you like her?" Concubine Hua frowned slightly.

Wang Ziyan stood up and said, "Aunt, there are some things I can't tell you, but I don't want to cancel the engagement."

"Really...you don't want to cancel the engagement?" Concubine Hua asked uncertainly.

"Do not want to."

Concubine Hua nodded. Although she didn't know what had happened to her nephew, she felt more stable after being away for a few months. Of course, she also had more things to think about.

"Okay, since you don't want to cancel the engagement, I'll discuss it with your father."
