The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Although he could not confirm for sure that the person standing in front of him was Xue Jinhua at this moment, he had already started to make plans in his heart.

"What the Crown Princess said is absolutely right. It is true that I am not broad-minded enough." Although he said this, he disagreed in his heart.

You know, even if the other party is the imperial teacher, he is just a minister after all. How dare he call himself "I" in front of the Crown Princess?

From this, it can be seen that in the eyes of this imperial teacher, he probably never took her, the Crown Princess, seriously at all.

Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but lower her eyes slightly, skillfully concealing the anger in her heart.

She opened her red lips and said slowly, "Master Imperial Master is busy with state affairs all day long, how could he be narrow-minded?"

In fact, Xue Jinhua didn't want to get too involved with him at all, so she hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is seriously ill now, and you need to go and take care of her now. Master Imperial Master, please say goodbye." After she finished speaking, without even waiting for Boss Xue to respond, she turned around and left in a hurry.

Boss Xue stared quietly at her receding back, his brows involuntarily furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.

If this person was really his sister, then she was incredibly powerful to have been able to slip away from right under his nose so easily.

At this moment, his face looked increasingly heavy, and he thought to himself: Never mind, I am just a little bit away from final success, I should just be patient for now.

After that important matter is accomplished, no matter whether she is his sister or not, she must die!

......

When she hurried back to the Queen's bedroom, she found that the Queen had woken up but was unable to speak.

Xue Jinhua was also shocked when she saw this scene.

"Has mother woke up?" Xue Jinhua turned to ask the maid beside her, "Have you sent someone to invite the imperial physician to treat her?"

The maid quickly replied, "My Lady, we have asked the imperial physician to examine you. You are suffering from the sequelae of poisoning. It is only a temporary condition. As long as you take the medicine on time, you will be able to recover in a while."

Xue Jinhua nodded gently, then turned her gaze to the Queen on the bed again, and said with concern: "Mother, you heard everything. The imperial physician repeatedly reminded me to rest well and take medicine on time."

Although the queen was unable to speak at this time, her consciousness was extremely clear.

The moment she woke up, she keenly realized that the bowl of medicine was poisonous.

She was anxious to find her personal maid Qiu Shuang, but to her shock, Qiu Shuang, who was always with her, was missing.

Fortunately, there was the palace maid Qiu Ju, who reported to the queen everything that had happened in the past few days.

After hearing this, the queen understood everything.

Qiu Shuang has followed me for many years, and they are as close as sisters. It is impossible for Qiu Shuang to do such a evil thing as murdering her master.

There is no doubt that Qiu Shuang must have been framed and slandered by others.

As for the person who really dared to harm her, the Queen knew it very well without having to think too much. Who else could it be other than the Crown Princess in front of her who seemed gentle and virtuous but was actually a cruel and vicious person?

It’s a pity that the queen is now speechless. Even if she feels a thousand grievances and resentment in her heart, it is difficult for her to use precise words to expose this conspiracy.

Forget it, since things have come to this, even if I try my best to make a fuss now, it will probably be futile.

It would be better to endure it for the time being, focus on taking care of your body, and when your throat recovers and you can speak normally, you can settle all the old and new accounts together.

"Mother, it's time for you to drink the medicine!" Xue Jinhua said softly, and the palace servant slowly brought the porcelain bowl of medicine to her.

She carefully stretched out her hands and steadily picked up the bowl of steaming medicinal soup with a strong herbal aroma.

"Mother, let your daughter-in-law serve you the medicine." Xue Jinhua spoke in a gentle tone with a smile on her face. She blew gently, trying to make the medicine cooler before feeding it to the queen.

However, at this moment, the queen subconsciously shook her head repeatedly, and her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, as if what was in front of her was not a bowl of medicine to cure diseases and save lives, but a bowl of deadly poison.

At the same time, she turned her head and looked at Qiu Ju beside her as if asking for help.

Although Qiu Ju is not as smart as Qiu Shuang, she is an old servant who has followed the Queen for many years after all.

Over the years, she has come to know the Queen's personality and temper very well.

Seeing the Queen's reaction, Qiu Ju already understood about 70% of the situation.

So she hurriedly stepped forward and asked tentatively, "My lady, are you not willing to let the Crown Princess feed you medicine?"

Hearing these words, the queen nodded her head vigorously as if she had met a soulmate, with gratitude flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Qiuju showed an awkward smile on her face.

She quickly took the medicine bowl from Xue Jinhua and said, "Crown Princess, you have been really hard-working these past few days, managing palace affairs and serving the Empress. Let me do the rough work of feeding medicine."

Qiu Ju's words were just right. They gave Xue Jinmu enough face while also allowing her to take over the task of feeding the medicine in a natural way.

After hearing this, Xue Jinhua did not insist, thinking that it would be good if someone was willing to do it for her.

I have been feeling quite exhausted these past few days, so I'd like to take this opportunity to have some rest.

So she smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Miss Qiuju. You should take good care of our mother. If there is anything urgent, please call me in time." After that, she turned and left, ready to go back to her room to rest.

In the palace, serving the sick was an extremely tiring task, especially for the women, as it was difficult to even find a place to rest.

However, as an honorable Crown Princess, and with special arrangements made by Ling Yan, she was finally able to live in a palace that was neither too large nor too small.

After returning to the palace, she ordered Qingyi to guard outside, then she fell headfirst onto the bed and fell into a sweet dream in an instant.

This sleep was an extremely sound and restful one, as if it had dispelled all the sleepiness and fatigue accumulated over the past few days.

When Xue Jinhua woke up slowly, she was surprised to find that it was time for dinner.

After dinner, Xue Jinhua took a short rest and originally planned to visit the Yangxin Palace immediately.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, I saw a figure in a hurry passing by.

Xue Jinhua couldn't help but frown slightly. After taking a closer look, she found that it was actually a concubine who was rushing to the Yangxin Palace in a hurry.

Looking at the numerous beauties pouring into the Yangxin Palace, even though Xue Jinhua had not arrived yet, Ling Yan must have already been among them.

But the direction that person who just hurried away was heading was clearly...

Just as Xue Jinhua was thinking to herself, the maid in green beside her spoke softly and advised, "Crown Princess, in my opinion, we should go over there quickly."

"If we go too late, I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine will be unhappy."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua thought for a moment, then turned to Qingyi and said, "How about this, you go to the Yangxin Palace quickly and tell them that I am busy taking care of my mother and will arrive later."

Qing Yi watched her walk away in the opposite direction with firm steps. She was extremely anxious and said hurriedly, "Crown Princess, where are you going? This is a critical moment. You must not act rashly."

However, Xue Jinhua did not stop because of Qingyi's dissuasion. She did not even turn her head and responded in an extremely firm tone: "No venture, no gain. If I can't find out the truth, I will be unable to sleep or eat all day."

After that, she slowed down her speech and added soothingly, "Don't worry, I will be more careful and there will be no mistakes."

All along, Xue Jinhua has been in the open, with his every move exposed to everyone, while the enemy has always been hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

But this time, she would also hide in the darkness, vowing to root out those dark hands lurking in the shadows one by one, leaving them with nowhere to hide and exposing them under the bright daylight.

Qingyi knew that she could not persuade the Crown Princess, so she had no choice but to wait until she saw the Crown Prince and report the matter to him.

At the same time, Xue Jinhua followed closely the looming figure in front of him, all the way deep into the palace inner courtyard.

At this moment, the bright moon hanging high in the night sky is as round and bright as a silver plate. The watery moonlight pours down on the towering palace walls, making the already quiet, solemn and dignified palace walls even more bleak and desolate.

This is not the bedroom of any noble, but the cold palace in the harem that makes people shudder.

Xue Jinhua carefully looked at the ruins around her in the dim moonlight, and an indescribable curiosity welled up in her heart.

Just now, the figure that flashed by, if Xue Jinhua guessed correctly, that person should be her fourth brother.

This discovery surprised her very much. For a moment, she couldn't understand why her fourth brother, who always looked so serious and stern on weekdays, suddenly appeared here?

"Shiro..."

With a heart full of doubts and curiosity, Xue Jinhua called out softly, and at the same time involuntarily took a few steps towards the cold palace.

However, after only walking a few short steps, the unique desolate atmosphere of the cold palace hit me in the face.

There was a dead silence all around, so dull and depressing that it was almost suffocating, as if one could smell the scent of time with every breath.

Such a heavy atmosphere almost stopped Xue Jinhua in her tracks.

However, just as she was hesitating whether to go deeper, a faint female voice came from inside.

The voice was gentle and soft, as sweet as the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, but to Xue Jinhua's ears it sounded like a thunderclap.

Because the voice sounds so ambiguous, could it be that... Fourth Brother is secretly having a tryst with someone in this cold palace?

Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua's heart was instantly filled with turbulent waves.

She really couldn't imagine that her fourth brother, who always presented himself as a gentleman, would appear here and do such a thing?

"Who?"

Suddenly, a warning shout broke the brief silence in the cold palace.

Hearing this question, Xue Jinhua immediately held her breath, not daring to make a single sound, for fear that the other party would notice her presence.

Just at this moment, a wild cat came out from nowhere and meowed.

As the sudden cat cry sounded, the cold palace suddenly fell into silence, and no sound was heard anymore.

However, despite this, Xue Jinhua still did not dare to take it lightly.

Seeing that the situation was temporarily under control, Xue Jinhua was about to turn around and leave quietly.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the familiar voice of the fourth brother rang out again: "Cats usually don't make any sound when they walk." This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured over Xue Jinhua's head, making her nerves, which had just relaxed a little, tense again.

Xue Jinhua felt a chill rising up her spine, as if an icy snake was slowly crawling across her.

However, despite her inner fear, her feet seemed to be nailed to the spot and she dared not move at all.

At this moment, a low and slightly majestic voice suddenly sounded: "It's not convenient today, you'd better go back first." This was the voice of Fourth Brother Xue.

Before he finished speaking, he disappeared into the cold and somewhat scary cold palace.

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense heartstrings relaxed a little.

She calmed herself down and was about to leave, but suddenly she felt a strong hand grab her arm and pull her back.

At the same time, another big hand quickly covered her mouth, preventing her from even making a sound.

Xue Jinhua was horrified and instinctively tried to struggle to break free from the restraints.

But just as she was about to resist, she caught a glimpse of Xue Laosi returning from not far away.

The unique scent from that person instantly reached her nose, and she immediately understood who was hiding behind her.

Thus, the originally fierce struggle came to an abrupt stop, and the man stayed quietly where he was without moving.

Xue Laosi looked around suspiciously, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, not missing any corner where someone might be hiding.

However, no matter how carefully he observed, he did not find any unusual movement except the empty palace and the occasional cold breeze.

He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Am I really overthinking it? If there really is someone hiding here, according to common sense, they should have shown up long ago under such circumstances.

After thinking it over, he finally shook his head and said to himself: "It seems that I really think too much." After that, he turned around again and walked away quickly in the direction he came from, and soon disappeared at the end of his sight.
