Harem Daily Life

He Linzhang frowned and said, "Yan Yan, I'll go back later."

Tao Yanyan thought that after all, the child was sick, so he had to go and see him, so he nodded and said, "If it's too late, Your Majesty doesn't need to come again. It's cold at night, so Your Majesty should put on an extra cloak."

Hearing the soothing words, He Linzhang squeezed her hand and said, "If you don't come, where should I sleep? Well, you should take a rest too. You've worked hard taking care of the three of them. I'll come back in the evening."

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Tao Yanyan watched the emperor go out and continued to guard Jin'an.

The eldest prince's illness was exactly the same as the other three children. After the imperial physician examined him, he prescribed some medicine. The eldest prince became completely listless and neither ate nor slept.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the three children in Changle Palace were all sick. Yuer must have been infected by them in elementary school, which is why he has a high fever." Defei usually dotes on the eldest prince. She is really sad to see him fall ill.

He Linzhang frowned: "It's not just the four of them who are sick. Other children are sick too. Don't just blame the illness on others."

Concubine De bit her lip and said, "Yes, I spoke out of turn." Just as she finished speaking, Eunuch Zhang came in from outside and reported, "Your Majesty, someone from Fengyi Palace came and said that the Empress had something important to discuss and wanted to invite Your Majesty over."

He Linzhang frowned and looked at Concubine De and the eldest prince: "Listen to the imperial physician, take medicine when necessary, rest when necessary, and prepare more nutritious and easy-to-digest food for the eldest prince."

After giving the instructions, He Linzhang went to Fengyi Palace. Outside Fengyi Palace, there was a circle of imperial guards, and when they saw the emperor coming, they all knelt down and bowed.

He Linzhang now remembers the queen the most. He remembers that he and the queen had a deep love and had two daughters. The sweetness they had in the past is still vivid in his mind. But since he began to doubt the queen, the sweetness in his memory has changed. Now when he steps into Fengyi Palace again, he always feels aggrieved.

Thinking that he had given the Queen everything, including power and status, and that the Queen had even drugged him in an attempt to make him forget all the concubines, he could no longer like the Queen.

With a face as black as the bottom of a pot, He Linzhang sat in the main seat and glanced at the queen: "All four children are sick. I am very busy today. Queen, please be brief."

He Linzhang could actually just ask directly, but once he asked, there would be no room for maneuver between him and the queen. He was extremely angry today, and after knowing that the Duke's Mansion was going to kill people to silence them, he sent people to besiege two places in order to kill the queen's fighting spirit first.

The Queen knelt on the ground with a plop. "I am guilty. My personal maid took the initiative to ask the monks of Fuyan Temple for a pill, and put it in your Majesty's food when I was not paying attention. Today, I saw the imperial guards besieging Fengyi Palace, and I realized that the matter had become serious. I beg your Majesty to forgive my guilt for not noticing for the sake of my many years of companionship!"

He Linzhang narrowed his eyes and said, "Oversight? You mean you didn't know about this at all?"

The Queen nodded, "I don't know. It was Nanny Fang who couldn't bear it anymore and told me yesterday. I was scared for a moment, so I thought... I thought of asking my father to help me deal with it. Your Majesty, I made a mistake and then made another mistake. But I love Your Majesty in my heart, and I will never give you drugs no matter what! I hope Your Majesty will make a wise decision!"

The queen cried as she spoke, with a look of regret on her face.

He Linzhang turned to look at Nanny Fang who was kneeling beside him: "Is what the Queen said true?"

Nanny Fang lowered her head to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I did buy the medicine. I dare not deny it."

He Linzhang snorted coldly: "What I want to ask you is, is this something you did alone, or is the Queen also involved?"

The Queen was very worried. When His Majesty asked this question, she actually had doubts.

Nanny Fang slowly raised her head and spoke word by word, "This servant was ordered by the Queen. Her Majesty is fully aware of the whole process."

The Queen looked at Nanny Fang in disbelief. "You are talking nonsense. It was clearly you who acted on your own initiative and told me the day before yesterday! I mobilized the forces of my palace to help you because you have served me for more than ten years. How dare you repay me with hatred?"

The queen had never expected that Nanny Fang would turn against her at the last minute. This was something she had never expected. Did Nanny Fang no longer care about her nephew and niece?

The Queen tried to pressure Nanny Fang with her eyes, but Nanny Fang pretended not to see anything and continued to expose the truth: "Your Majesty, not only did the Queen know about the whole process, but as the perpetrator, I was threatened by the Queen with the lives of my nephews and nieces, and I am now responsible for all the crimes."

Nanny Fang was trembling with fear: "I think my life is coming to an end. The more I think about it, the more I feel that the time I spent serving the Queen for more than ten years was not worth it! I gave up the opportunity to leave the palace and marry, and gave up the opportunity to live with my nephews and nieces. I stayed by the Queen's side and did a lot of things for her. I didn't expect that she was the one who benefited. When something went wrong, she asked me to take the blame. I was really wronged and had to tell the truth."

The queen was really panicked. She hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I didn't do that. How could I bear to drug Your Majesty? I am innocent! It must be Nanny Fang who wanted to escape punishment and deliberately slandered me."

Nanny Fang continued, "Your Majesty, not only did I buy medicine for the Queen and put it in your Majesty's meals this time, but the Queen also asked me to feed the Second Princess a laxative before, just to take this opportunity to falsely accuse Concubine De during the Dragon Boat Festival, making everyone think that Concubine De neglected Fengyi Palace, failed to manage the harem, and made the Second Princess sick."

Nanny Fang's words were undoubtedly like a thunderbolt that could directly kill the queen.

She looked at Nanny Fang in disbelief, wondering what stupid thing this idiot had done today to make her report everything to others!

Looking at the emperor's face again, the queen trembled all over and couldn't speak.

"Queen, you are so brave! Yue'er is your biological daughter, why do you want to harm her?"

The queen opened her lips and said, "I... am innocent." Apart from verbally protesting her innocence, the queen could not produce any evidence to prove her innocence.

"Your Majesty, this is not the only time the Queen has harmed the Second Princess." Nanny Fang continued to expose the secrets, as if she was going to hammer the Queen to death with one blow: "The time when the former Imperial Concubine Wen released the snake, the snake actually went towards the Queen and the Second Princess because the Queen had hidden a tuberose sachet on her and the Second Princess. This fragrance easily attracts snakes and insects, and because the Queen knew of the former Imperial Concubine Wen's plan, she took advantage of it. The Second Princess was brave and had caught snakes with her own hands on weekdays, so the Queen did not hesitate at all and tampered with the sachet."

He Linzhang remembered the Queen's affairs very clearly, so he naturally knew about the snake-biting incident.

He looked at the queen with great disappointment: "Even a poisonous tiger will not eat its own cubs. Queen, Yue'er is your biological daughter. She was our only legitimate daughter at the time. How could you be so cruel as to use her to lure out a snake? Hmm? How could you bear to do that?"
