"What did you say? Something happened to the Imperial Concubine!"

Su Wan opened her eyes wide, somewhat incredulous, "But even if that's the case, it's a matter of the palace, what does it have to do with me."

"I heard it seems to be related to that beauty serum."

"Anyway, Madam, please hurry to the palace."

Hearing that it was related to the beauty serum, Su Wan was inexplicably frightened. Qiao'er beside her hurriedly asked, "Housekeeper, are you sure that the person the emperor ordered to enter the palace was the second wife, not the madam?"

The housekeeper looked worried, "Both the Second Madam and the Madam have been summoned. I have sent someone to Huichun Hall to inform the Madam."

Su Wan got back into the carriage in a daze. She held Qiao'er's hand and said nervously, "Qiao'er, do you think there is something wrong with the beauty serum?"

"Second Madam, don't worry. The beauty serum originally came from Huichuntang. If there is any problem, it will be related to Madam, not you, the Second Madam."

"Besides, Second Madam, haven't you always wanted Madam to be punished for the beauty serum? Now is a perfect opportunity."

Su Wan felt a little more at ease after hearing this, "You're right."

"Ye Qingluo is definitely dead this time!"

When Ye Qingluo's carriage arrived at the palace gate, palace servants were waiting there.

"Madam Pingyuan Hou, please come this way."

The palace maid brought Ye Qingluo to the imperial concubine's bedroom, only to see three imperial doctors standing outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, and the wife of Marquis Pingyuan are here."

The palace maid walked in first and reported to the people inside.

"Madam Pingyuan, the maidservants around you are not allowed to enter."

The palace maid who received the order turned back and when she saw Cuizhu, who was following Ye Qingluo, was about to go in, she stretched out her hand to stop her.

"Madam..." Cuizhu looked at Ye Qingluo nervously.

Ye Qingluo looked calm, "Cuizhu, wait here."

"Ma'am, you must be more careful then."

Now he is in the palace, facing the imperial concubine and the emperor. If he is not careful, it will lead to disaster.

After entering the imperial concubine's bedroom, Ye Qingluo could feel the eyes of everyone present looking at her.

"Greetings to His Majesty, His Majesty the Concubine."

"Madam Pingyuan Hou, do you admit your guilt?"

The emperor's face darkened and he asked Ye Qingluo angrily.

"In reply to your Majesty, I don't know what crime I have committed. Please point it out to me."

"My dear Madam Pingyuan, if I hadn't used the beauty serum you brought to the palace, how could I have a rash on my face?"

The imperial concubine was wearing a veil and was very angry. Ye Qingluo looked up and her outfit reminded her of the daughter of the inspector general who appeared today.

It really happened by chance.

"My Lady, can you allow me to treat you? If the problem is really with the beauty serum, I will definitely take responsibility."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

While Ye Qingluo was talking to the imperial concubine, he looked at the emperor again.

"it is good."

After pondering for a while, the emperor agreed, and the imperial concubine looked aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, if this matter is really related to the beauty serum that Lady Pingyuan gave me, wouldn't it make the situation worse if I ask her to treat it?"

"I really can't believe it."

Ye Qingluo said, "Don't worry, Imperial Concubine. I am just checking your pulse and I won't do anything to you. Besides, the Emperor is here."

The imperial concubine glanced at Ye Qingluo with dissatisfaction, her eyes full of warnings, and then she agreed to take his pulse.

"Madam Pingyuan Hou, how is the situation?"

Seeing Ye Qingluo withdraw his hand, the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, judging from the Imperial Concubine's condition, the rash on her face is more likely caused by poisoning."

"Poisoned?"

The maidservant following the imperial concubine exclaimed, "Madam Pingyuan Hou, you mean someone is trying to murder the imperial concubine."

"But the food that the Imperial Concubine eats has always been checked by someone in particular, so there is absolutely no way there could be any problem."

"Poisoning isn't just caused by food."

"Madam Pingyuan Hou, your statement is exactly the same as Prime Minister Sun's."

After hearing Ye Qingluo say that the imperial concubine was poisoned, the emperor's expression softened. At least from a certain perspective, Ye Qingluo's medical skills were not false.

"Just that you might have forensic treatment?"

"There is a way, but I need to know why the Imperial Concubine is like this."

"Your Highness, could you please think about what you have applied recently?"

"Beauty serum!"

Everyone looked at Ye Qingluo with contempt. After all, the matter was still related to the beauty serum.

Ye Qingluo was not anxious about the Imperial Concubine's toughness, and continued to ask, "Is it me who sent the beauty serum you use to the palace? Is there anything else besides this?"

"This……"

"I remember now. In addition to the beauty serum, there are also essential oils. These seem to have been sent by the second wife of Pingyuan Hou."

"After the Imperial Concubine used it, she felt a little uncomfortable, but the discomfort disappeared immediately and she didn't pay much attention to it."

The imperial concubine suddenly understood after the palace maid mentioned this.

"So the person who wanted to murder me was not the wife of Marquis Pingyuan, but the second wife Su Wan?"

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

The imperial concubine cried to the emperor.

"Where is Su Wan now?"

"To reply to the emperor, the people are almost outside the palace."

"Madam, look, isn't that Cuizhu, your maidservant? Since she's here, does that mean your Madam has already gone in?"

Looking in the direction Qiao'er pointed, Su Wan saw Cuizhu standing there. For some reason, ever since she learned about the imperial concubine's accident, the uneasy feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger.

It seems like something bad is waiting for me.

"Pingyuan Hou's second wife, please go in quickly."

The palace maid who came out saw Su Wan still standing there unmoved and urged her.

When she entered the bedroom, she saw the veiled imperial concubine, the emperor, and Ye Qingluo.

"Su Wan, can you explain to me why this happened after I used the things you sent to the palace?"

The imperial concubine's scolding frightened Su Wan so much that she trembled all over and fell to her knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged."

"Humph! Only you and Ye Qingluo have beauty serum, and the reason why I am like this is because I used the stuff you gave me recently!"

"You still dare to claim injustice after all this."

Su Wan's body trembled, and she looked towards Ye Qingluo fiercely. She knew that the bitch Ye Qingluo must have said something in front of the emperor and the imperial concubine before her.

It's really despicable that he wants to put the blame on her.

Su Wan clenched her fists and replied with a choked voice, "My Lady Concubine, you misunderstood. The beauty serum has always belonged to my sister. I just thought it was very effective, so I gave it to you. I definitely didn't mean to murder you."

"Now that the beauty serum has a problem, could it be that my sister deliberately did it for her own selfish reasons..."
