Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

With the joint efforts of Mu Qingli and Lu Jinnian, the turmoil in the palace over the throne has almost reached the point where the truth is revealed.

Ever since the imperial concubine met the emperor, she saw that he was seriously ill and did not treat her with the same warmth as before. She was really panicked in her heart. For the first time, she felt that the atmosphere in the palace was unsettling.

Especially since Prince An's Mansion had just married Princess Liyin of Dongyi Kingdom, the emperor suddenly lost his temper in the palace for some unknown reason and even publicly issued an edict to reprimand several princes in the palace. It was obvious that he was unhappy with everyone.

Even the maids and servants around her suspected that the emperor was seriously ill and could not be cured. Otherwise, why would he bite anyone he caught like a mad dog?

The imperial concubine became very suspicious after hearing what they said. She did not show it on the surface, but secretly she had people start investigating the emperor's condition. It was not known whether it was because the emperor was seriously ill that they actually found out the news.

It turned out that the emperor had been terminally ill for a long time and might not even live for many days. This was why he was so irritable in the harem. A dying person would naturally be very angry when looking at those young and vigorous people.

She even heard some news that the emperor's life was coming to an end, and he was secretly having someone write a will to pass the throne to the eldest prince born to the queen. After all, it was more legitimate for him to be the eldest son.

When Concubine An found out the truth, her expression turned even uglier. The series of incidents that had occurred in the past few days had already consumed a lot of her rationality, so she was naturally uneasy when she heard this kind of news.

The maids and servants around her were also very worried. The Empress and the Imperial Concubines had long since fallen out. They said a new emperor means new ministers. If the eldest prince really succeeded to the throne, would there be any hope for them in the palace? Who knows, they might even lose their lives!

Concubine An naturally thought so too. Her face suddenly became extremely ugly and she almost slammed the table and stood up.

"No, I absolutely cannot let this go! Even if I die, I will never hand over this throne to that bitch Queen! I've fought her in this palace my entire life and I can't let her win against me even once!"

The maid beside her had a slight glint in her eyes when she saw her like this, then she went over to talk to her calmly with a slight smile on her lips.

"Your Majesty, why are you so worried? I have a great idea. As long as Your Majesty arranges it properly, you will naturally be able to make the Queen's party lose the favor from now on. Who knows, you might even kill two birds with one stone."

As soon as these words were spoken, the old maids beside the imperial concubine cast a curious glance over and squinted their eyes to look at the girl.

"Girl, don't try to cheer the Empress up with some cheap, fake news. If this idea is inappropriate, be careful and be punished!"

The maidservant had been with the imperial concubine for several years and naturally knew their style of doing things. She immediately raised her hand and swore seriously with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, I cherish my life so much that I wouldn't dare to deceive Your Majesty. I've already asked a friend to help me find out. This news is absolutely true. If it weren't for a friend who accidentally got the news, no one would know until now. There's something strange about Your Majesty's illness."

Concubine An subconsciously widened her eyes. She had always been sensitive and almost instantly realized that there must be a deeper meaning behind this. She immediately grabbed her arm and stared into her eyes to ask.

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that there's something strange about the Emperor's illness? Did someone give him something?"

After all, she was someone who had been in the palace for many years. The imperial concubine almost accurately discovered that something was wrong from this sentence. She stared at her with a grim expression, eagerly waiting for an answer.

Even the nanny looked at her curiously, expecting her to come up with an answer. However, she didn't expect that the maid would look around at them and suddenly smile at them, and then said something shocking.

"Your Majesty, that's not some kind of illness, it's poison—erysipelas!"

Erysipelas? Are those pills?

The imperial concubine quickly realized what she said, and instantly frowned, with a rare look of confusion on her face.

"Are you saying that the elixirs that the Heavenly Masters in the palace made for His Majesty are all poisonous? But don't those Heavenly Masters often accompany His Majesty to take elixirs together? And yet, His Majesty is in this state now, and those Heavenly Masters are fine?"

If those pills were indeed poisoned, wouldn't the Heavenly Masters who took them with Your Majesty have experienced the same symptoms as Your Majesty? But Your Majesty hasn't heard anything wrong with those Heavenly Masters during the time they've been recuperating!

The maid's expression was also very strange. She looked at them and suddenly smiled, and even spoke to them in a deliberately low voice.

"Are you truly certain, Your Majesty, that the food those so-called Heavenly Masters eat is the same as Your Majesty's? Or do they just look the same? How do you know that those people accompanying Your Majesty to eat the elixir aren't just trying to hide their identities?"

Those people are talents specially found for Your Majesty by the party of the eldest prince and the queen. I have reliable information to prove that those pills are poisonous, and those toxins will slowly enter the human internal organs as people eat more and more of them, and then there will be no cure.

"I've already asked a friend to find out, and judging by the amount of medicinal pills Your Majesty has taken over the years, I'm afraid His Majesty's time is running out. Your Majesty should really make preparations sooner!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the imperial concubine's face suddenly changed color.
