After the queen looked at the imperial concubine carefully for a few minutes, she could not find any flaws on her face.

In the end, I could only leave in anger.

Anyway, no matter what the Empress Dowager’s situation is, she can just ask the Emperor.

After making sure the queen has left.

The lady returned to the inner room.

"Emperor, this time it's all thanks to Ran Xin, otherwise I would have been poisoned and died."

The emperor, who had been relieved, immediately felt his heart rise to his throat when he heard this: "Poisoned? Mother, aren't you sick? How could you be poisoned?"

"This is all thanks to Ran Xin. If she hadn't thought my illness was very strange, she wouldn't have read medical books all night. But I heard that when she wanted to treat me, Envoy Li stopped her?" The Queen Mother smiled slightly, her voice was very cold, "This Envoy Li is paid by the royal family, and his ancestors have been practicing medicine for five generations. I don't believe that he can't even tell whether I'm sick or poisoned."

The emperor's face suddenly turned ugly: "Mother, don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

"Emperor, it is not something an ordinary person can do to plant spies in my palace and frame me. Don't investigate the wrong person, and don't wrongly accuse a good person." The Queen Mother patted the emperor's hand and looked at the imperial concubine, "Ran Xin, you are a great contributor to today's incident. While the emperor is here, do you want any reward?"

The imperial concubine immediately knelt down and said: "I dare not take credit for this, but after what happened, I have an unwelcome request."

"My Lady, tell me, there is nothing in the world that I cannot accomplish."

"Earlier, when Fu'er went to visit Princess Jinghe, she found that her condition was very bad. However, Fu'er's medical skills were limited and she was unable to cure Jinghe. She cried several times because of this. I was thinking about whether I could take Princess Jinghe to Changle Palace and let me take care of her."

The emperor's smile suddenly turned serious after hearing this: "Isn't it good for Jinghe to recuperate in her house? Why do you want to bring her to your palace?"

"No matter how big the mansion is, it is not as good as having family members around you." The imperial concubine raised her head and looked at the emperor. "I remember the emperor once said to me that he was getting old, and the ministers who had accompanied him in the past had either reached retirement age or died of injuries and illnesses. I thought that the emperor and Duke Jinghe were siblings. Although they may have grown apart because of their different ideas as they grew up, you and Princess Jinghe are still siblings. I thought that if I could take good care of Princess Jinghe, she would definitely feel that the emperor still loves her and cares about her."

"Emperor, look at Ran Xin. Among all your concubines, how many are like Ran Xin, who cares about you wholeheartedly?" Hearing the imperial concubine's words, the empress dowager immediately thought of her relationship with Princess Jinghe's biological mother. "I am a close friend of hers. Before she died, she asked me to take good care of Jinghe. But now she is so ill, and she is alone in the mansion. Sigh..."

Even my mother said so.

If the emperor refused again, it would seem that he was cold-blooded and disregarded the brotherly relationship.

"Just do as the imperial concubine said. Bring her to your palace this afternoon. However, she should know that what she did before has offended many people. After entering the palace, let her stay in your palace. She is not allowed to go anywhere else or see anyone."

"I thank the emperor on behalf of Princess Jinghe." The imperial concubine's face lit up and she kowtowed to express her gratitude immediately.

"Ran Xin, hurry up."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

The two of them chatted with the empress dowager for a while. Seeing that she was tired, the imperial concubine helped her to sleep.

Only then did he leave the bedroom.

As a result, he saw that the emperor had not left yet and was still waiting for him.

"emperor?"

The imperial concubine had no idea what the emperor was thinking, so she could only walk up to him and look up at him: "Did I make you angry by acting on my own?"

"Ran Xin, do you really just want to cure Jinghe?"

A trace of doubt rose in the imperial concubine's eyes: "Otherwise, what else should I do? Does the emperor want me to persuade Princess Jinghe to remarry? If so, does the emperor have any candidates? When the time comes, I will first test her attitude and then persuade her."

When the emperor heard what the imperial concubine said, he immediately waved his hand and said, "That's not it. Please pay more attention to my mother. I still need to review memorials."

"Then Your Majesty, please go quickly. I will take good care of the Queen Mother."

"Ah."

"Congratulations to the emperor."

The noble lady took Yuan Buwei back to Changle Palace as quickly as possible.

Only after letting everyone leave did he dare to shake hands with Yuan Buwei.

"I was shaking all over just now. I almost got exposed."

"Senior Sister Wei, you have performed very well. You have convinced me. As long as Princess Jinghe comes to you, I'm sure she will have her own ideas about what to do next. But in the future, your Changle Palace may be in danger." Yuan Buwei said worriedly.

"It's okay. Fu'er and I have saved the Queen Mother twice. After this poisoning, the Queen Mother has realized my importance. So with her here, the Queen can't do anything to me for the time being, and the Emperor will be even less likely to do so. I haven't done anything out of line, so he doesn't have to trouble me at this time." The Imperial Concubine analyzed to Yuan Buwei, "But today it's all thanks to you, Buwei, for coming up with such a good idea."

"If I had treated the Queen Mother, I would at most have received a reward, or had the opportunity to show my face in front of the Emperor. But now the young Marquis is not well yet, and who knows whether showing my face in front of the Emperor would be a blessing or a curse. But you are different. You are the Emperor's concubine. If you saved the Queen Mother, not only would you be able to improve the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, but you would also make the Emperor realize that you are indispensable. Your status would be elevated, and I would benefit from it, killing two birds with one stone."

"You little girl, your mind works quickly." The imperial concubine said with a smile, and then she became serious the next second, "But after what happened during this period, I feel that even if I don't fight or compete, trouble will find me, especially today. I am afraid that I will become a thorn in the queen's side. It seems that I must make careful plans."

"Senior Sister Wei, I am so touched that you are willing to fight for me." Yuan Buwei said with admiration, "Then I will have a great backer in the future."

"You already call me Senior Sister. If I don't take you as your backer, do you want to find someone else?" The imperial concubine laughed. "But it's not certain. Maybe when your young master gets better, you can become my backer."

"Then let's help each other."

"Yes. Jinghe will be here this afternoon. I will ask someone to clean up the bedroom so that she can live more comfortably."

"I'm here to help."

in the afternoon.

Yuan Buwei and the imperial concubine stood outside Changle Palace, looking forward to it for a long time.

Finally, Princess Jinghe's carriage arrived.

Even when Princess Jinghe was lying on the bed in a hall somewhere in Changle Palace, she was still a little dazed.
