In the inner courtyard, after the door was opened, in order to ensure the emperor's safety, the guards walked in front. However, the person in front turned back as soon as he crossed the screen.

The emperor looked at the two guards with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong? Is there an assassin?"

The guard lowered his head and reported politely: "Your Majesty, there is no assassin, only, only..."

Only the disheveled Concubine Chun was there. The guards didn't know what to say to this sentence and could only stammer.

Concubine Liang walked forward with a worried look on her face and gently tugged at the emperor's arm: "The guard may have seen something that shouldn't be seen. I will accompany the emperor to check it out!"

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes flashed silently, and his gaze was fixed on the other side of the screen.

He ordered the guards to stand back, strode over, and immediately saw the beautiful lady Chun, who was standing beside the gauze curtain with disheveled clothes and muttering to herself.

Concubine Liang stood beside the emperor, covered her mouth with her hand in disbelief, as if she was very frightened. After a while, she carefully looked up at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Sister Chun definitely didn't do it on purpose. Maybe, maybe it was..."

Concubine Liang pretended to be embarrassed and wanted to plead for Concubine Chun, but she stopped talking when she got to the key point.

The emperor gritted his teeth and didn't get angry. He was so angry that his face was black. He wanted to turn around and leave and order the death penalty directly. But Concubine Liang suddenly said that Concubine Chun seemed to be calling someone's name.

She was a little confused as to why Chun Meiren was the only one there, since she had clearly replaced the person originally planned with the one Qi Yue told her about.

But there was only Chun Meiren on the bed. Where was the man who was supposed to be lying next to her and hugging her?

Concubine Liang glanced around the room with a vicious look. Could he be hiding?

She sneered in her heart and curled the corners of her mouth with determination.

Just now, when she and the emperor came with the crowd, she didn't see anyone go out. The man had been drugged by a strong aphrodisiac and his whole body was limp and powerless. He must be hiding in a corner of the house.

"Your Majesty, my sister..." Concubine Liang's expression changed instantly, and she looked at the emperor with pity.

The emperor frowned and walked up without thinking.

He angrily lifted the gauze curtain, but before he could get angry, he heard Chun Meiren clearly and weakly calling out a name.

These two words reminded the emperor of the name that Concubine Chun often called out in her sleep when she was first given the title of Concubine Chun.

At that time, he asked her who the Afeng she was calling was, and she smiled and said he was the boy next door.

She came from a humble background, and her family couldn't afford to support her, so they sent her to the palace to be the lowest-ranking maid.

Later, her younger brother owed a huge debt due to gambling, and she had no choice but to seduce the emperor. Fortunately, she had a pure appearance and succeeded after a few times.

In order to allow her family to live a wealthy life, she, who had gained the emperor's favor, immediately chose to break up with her childhood sweetheart, who had bribed her into the palace.

In order not to drag him down, she pretended to be cool and distant every time they met in the palace corridor.

When she learned that the emperor heard her calling his name in her sleep, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, fearing that it would bring him trouble.

She didn't really like the emperor, so she didn't try to please him like other concubines, nor did she try to win his favor.

The emperor, who was used to seeing all women centering around him, was fascinated by Chun Meiren's unique and cool personality when he was with her.

Soon, she became pregnant. At that time, the favor she received was comparable to that of Consort Zhaohui, whom the emperor had been unable to let go of for a long time.

Although Consort Zhaohui was posthumously honored as the biological mother of Qi Minxiu, it is enough to show how much the emperor loved her.

As the emperor, he can only favor the dead. As long as other people show their heads, they will be stared at by countless eyes.

After Concubine Chun became pregnant, Concubine Liang had already been planning how to cause her to have a miscarriage, but this time someone took action before her.

However, that person's methods were not very smart and he was soon found out by the enraged emperor. In the end, he was given poisoned wine.

Concubine Liang knew very well how important this woman was in the emperor's heart, and she had planned for a long time before putting on this big show.

If we can't even bring her down this time, it won't be easy to get rid of her next time.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to wake up Sister Chun?" Concubine Liang asked the emperor in a low voice.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the dazed and half-drunk person on the bed without saying a word. Concubine Liang instantly understood what he meant.

She walked forward carefully, holding up the hem of her skirt, and gently tidied Chun Meiren's clothes, acting like a kind sister.

Just when her fingertips accidentally touched Chun Meiren's collarbone, Chun Meiren suddenly let out a shy and soft moan.

Then, she dazedly hugged Concubine Liang's neck tightly and subconsciously wanted to put her mouth close to hers.

Concubine Liang looked at the face in front of her that was gradually getting bigger with a look of horror. Just as she was about to scream, she heard Concubine Chun clearly call out "A Feng."

Then she started to cry and complain, and confessed her feelings. She said she regretted it, that she had always loved him, and that she hoped to return to him...

Every word and sentence pierced the emperor's heart like a needle.

He did not deny that he really liked her during this period of time, and he was very happy every minute and every second he spent with her, but this did not mean that she could rely on the favor he gave her to do whatever she wanted and defy the emperor's authority!

"Come here! Take Concubine Chun away to sober up. When she sobers up, give her a white silk scarf. Also, find out who she is calling out. Once you find her, execute her by slicing her to death."

After the emperor gave his domineering order, he turned and left the room without even looking at Concubine Chun.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Liang quickly pushed the person in her arms away and chased after him: "Your Majesty, please wait for me!"

The grand dinner ended at this moment. The emperor did not show up, but the chief eunuch beside him came out to announce it.

For this reason, Murong Shu and Xiao Wenbo didn't see Xiao Mo and thought something had happened to her, so they looked for her everywhere in a hurry.

Qi Minxiu and Qi Yue were also searching for Xiao Mo in the inner courtyard of the palace with their own thoughts.

In the Imperial Hospital, Shen Hanzhou was sitting next to the medicine cabinet, sweating profusely, his face an abnormally red complexion.

Xiao Mo was brewing the antidote for him not far away. She fanned the stove and glanced towards the door from time to time.

She asked herself when she had ever been so sneaky in her life. This time, it was the first time she felt like a thief.

Just as she was concentrating on opening the lid of the medicine pot to check how the antidote was being boiled, a sudden sense of pressure from behind made her spine shiver.

Shen Hanzhou's hot hands were wrapped around Xiao Mo's waist, and she could feel the terrible temperature even through her clothes.

"Han Zhou, wake up." Xiao Mo put down what she was holding, reached out to take his hand away from her waist, then turned around and looked at him.

She didn't know until she saw it, and it really scared her.
