"It's so cold today, I'm afraid it's hard for you sisters to go out. It's a good opportunity to take a walk around the Imperial Garden today."

The Queen smiled.

"Yes, I don't like sitting."

"I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has cultivated a lot of flowers in its greenhouses. I would like to see some too."

Although Gu Youxin had set an example, the concubines in the palace were still unwilling to give up. They were sitting in a crowd of people and the emperor would not notice them, so they all responded to the queen's words.

"It's rare for Madam Gu to come to the palace, so it would be nice for mother and daughter to take a stroll together."

The queen looked at Gu Wen and her son who were sitting at the end of the table.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Gu Wen hurriedly stood up to express her gratitude.

In this way, most of the concubines put on thick cloaks of various colors, held heaters in their hands, and strolled in the garden.

Even the queen stood up and left.

Only Gu Youning, Concubine Zheng, and Concubine Shen were left at the banquet.

Half a minute later, Gu Youning saw Cao Zhong hurriedly walking out with two eunuchs, and exchanged glances with Tan Yin.

After a while, Gu Youning frowned and said, "It's been a while since Your Majesty went to Plum Pavilion. I wonder if the charcoal fire inside is burning well and whether it will be cold."

"If you are worried, Master, you may go and take a look."

Tan Yin suggested with a smile.

"Ah."

Gu Youning said this and helped Tan Yin stand up.

"This palace and Concubine Shen will also go over and take a look."

When Concubine Zheng on the opposite side saw this, she also stood up with the help of the palace maid.

Gu Youning looked somewhat reluctant, but still let Concubine Zheng walk ahead.

"roll!"

As soon as the three of them arrived at Xunmei Pavilion, they heard an angry shout and the sound of something heavy falling from inside.

"What's going on? Is there an assassin inside?"

"Go and open the door quickly."

Concubine Zheng said to the eunuch behind her with an anxious look on her face.

"Yes."

Two eunuchs came forward and opened the door.

Concubine Zheng wanted to walk in front, but Caifu pulled her back: "Your Majesty, be careful."

Concubine Zheng hesitated for a moment, but Gu Youning had already entered the house.

"Your Majesty! Quickly...quickly call the imperial physician."

When Concubine Zheng heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Something had happened to the emperor.

When she entered, she saw that the emperor was only wearing a bright yellow inner garment, his face was red, and the sable fur coat he was wearing had been thrown on the ground, and there was a woman lying on the ground, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.

But this dress looks very familiar. Today, all the concubines in the palace are wearing colorful clothes. Only Gu Youxin is wearing such plain clothes.

Looking at the emperor's appearance and the scene in the room, Concubine Zheng knew everything.

"Someone, drag this bitch outside."

Concubine Zheng said angrily.

"What happened? Where's the Emperor?"

At this time, the queen came in from outside with her concubines.

"Help me go to the inner room."

The emperor suppressed the desire in his heart and grabbed Gu Youning's hand.

"Yes."

Gu Youning knew the effectiveness of this medicine and at this moment admired the emperor's self-control.

Since the emperor was speaking, no one dared to say much. Gu Youning successfully helped the emperor into the inner room.

"Go open the window!"

Gu Youning helped the emperor onto the couch and gave urgent instructions to Tan Yin.

The couch was right next to the window. When the cold air outside came in, the emperor sobered up a little and pushed Gu Youning: "Get out!"

Just now, with the beautiful girl in his arms, the emperor had to exert great self-control not to push the woman down on the couch.

"Your Majesty is fine, the imperial physician will be here soon."

Although Gu Youning was pushed aside by the emperor, he had no intention of leaving.

At this time, outside.

"Your Highness, please spare me. There must be a misunderstanding. I would never dare to do such a thing!"

As soon as Gu Wen entered the room, she saw two eunuchs trying to drag away her daughter who was lying on the ground, not knowing whether she was dead or alive, so she hurried forward to stop them.

"My Lady, the most important thing right now is the Emperor. These matters can be dealt with later."

The queen looked at Gu Youxin, whose clothes were intact, and her heart sank. She had not succeeded.

……

"Here he comes, the imperial physician is here."

Another quarter of an hour later, Xiao Shengzi came in panting with the imperial physician.

"Don't bow, go to the inner room and see the emperor."

Queen said.

Concubine Zheng took a step forward, but when she remembered that she had just reached the screen and was angrily driven out by the emperor, and was almost hit by a teacup, she stopped for a moment.

"How is it? Envoy Zhao, is the Emperor in a hurry?"

Three imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau arrived, and the one who was taking the emperor's pulse was Zhao Qing, the director of the hospital.

"The Emperor has been poisoned by an aphrodisiac."

Zhao Qing bowed.

"Is there any way to suppress it?"

The emperor gritted his teeth.

"I can temporarily suppress the effects of the drug with acupuncture for Your Majesty, but the drug is very strong. For the sake of Your Majesty's health, Your Majesty must..."

Envoy Zhao stopped talking.

"Acupuncture."

The emperor spoke concisely.

"Yes."

Zhao Yuanshi hurriedly leaned forward and responded.

About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Youning appeared in front of everyone, supporting the emperor who had changed his clothes.

"emperor."

The concubines looked at the emperor's gloomy face and no longer had the desire to compete with each other for beauty. They just bowed quietly.

"Splash it to wake you up."

The emperor looked at Gu Wen and her son lying on the ground with disgust in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please understand. My daughter..."

As soon as Gu Wenshi pleaded for mercy, she was dragged away by the eunuchs.

The next moment, the lake water mixed with ice splashed onto Gu Youxin's face.

Gu Youxin shuddered as he opened his eyes, and when he saw the emperor's cold gaze, his whole body trembled even more violently.

"Miss Gu Si, why are you here?"

The Queen asked.

"My maid...my maid..."

Gu Youxin hesitated and didn't dare to speak.

"What else is there to ask? Fourth Miss Gu is so ambitious and ambitious, wanting to secure a better future, that she actually dared to use drugs on the Emperor, damaging his body. She truly deserves death."

Concubine Zheng shouted coldly.

"Medication? What medicine?"

Gu Youxin murmured in confusion, and Gu Wenshi was slightly relieved to see that her daughter was not frightened to death.

Today's plan failed, but if the blame can be put on the concubine, Xin'er still has a chance to survive.

As for reputation, the Queen has secretly promised Xin'er that she can marry into the Cui family. The Cui family is much more glorious than the Anding Marquis Mansion, and with this handle in hand today, the Queen dare not go back on her word.

"You still want to quibble?"

Concubine Zheng sneered.

"Your Highness, I really don't know what medicine is. As for coming to Xunmei Pavilion, it was...a maidservant beside my sister who told me that as long as I come here, my wish will be fulfilled today."

"Ever since I saw Your Majesty, I have been deeply in love with Him. I am naturally delighted to hear these words..."

Gu Youxin huddled up and cried with tears in her eyes.

"What nonsense! Concubine Gu is currently in the emperor's good graces. Is she crazy? She's helping her sister become the emperor's woman in order to share her favor?"

Everyone nodded secretly. What Lady Wen said made sense. As long as Concubine Gu was not confused, she would not help her younger sister to enter the palace.

This method of frame-up is really too low.

"It's all my fault."

At this moment, Gu Wen kowtowed heavily on the ground.
