Without time to think, Chu Tianling quickly moved to the right and caught Consort Jiang, who was about to fall. Seeing her face as pale as paper, he himself suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"emperor!"

Jiang Shuning, who was a step behind Consort Jiang, finally reacted, her eyes filled with astonishment.

She merely bribed Consort Yang to assassinate him, then pretended to be the hero who saved him, hoping to use this opportunity to remind Chu Tianling of her good qualities.

But the scene before her eyes was far beyond her expectations. Why was Consort Jiang here? And why was Chu Tianling also injured?

Although the surroundings were chaotic, this was the palace, so the guards quickly appeared. Eunuch Sun, who hadn't shown himself until now, also rushed out from the shadows after Chu Tianling vomited blood, shouting anxiously.

"Quick! Send the imperial doctor!"

However, it was Liang Qiuli who first protected Chu Tianling.

The palace maids who went to deliver the message to Consort Yang that day were all arranged by her.

However, Jiang Shuning believed that she had arranged for this palace maid to enter.

Even Yang Cairen thought so, after all, it was Jiang Shuning who rushed out first.

Consort Jiang's presence here was mainly due to Consort Yang's own scheme; she wanted to kill two birds with one stone.

However, all of this was under Liang Qiuli's control, so she was like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Liang Qiuli quickly squatted down and skillfully supported Chu Tianling to prevent him from losing his balance and falling due to vomiting blood.

Before Chu Tianling fainted, the last thing he saw was Liang Qiuli's worried face. He thought to himself, "Li'er still loves me."

……

"Your Majesty, you have finally woken up. You have been unconscious for three days and three nights. The imperial physicians said you have been poisoned."

Your Majesty, we have been waiting here anxiously, but thanks to Heaven's blessing, Your Majesty is finally out of danger.

Chu Tianling slowly opened his eyes. Before him was the familiar Zichen Palace bedroom, and in the candlelight was a concerned face.

Liang Qiuli looked like she hadn't rested properly for several days; her eyes were bloodshot and she had dark circles under her eyes. She looked almost as badly injured as he was.

But to Chu Tianling, who had just narrowly escaped death, Liang Qiuli was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, as if she were a fairy descending to earth.

"Before I fainted, Consort Jiang was stabbed. Could this be related to my poisoning?"

Liang Qiuli helped Chu Tianling sit up, then placed a pillow behind his back.

After everything was finished, he looked at Liang Qiuli with deep eyes, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority.

"Your Majesty, the Regent and the Grand Tutor have been investigating together these past few days."

It was Jiang Shuning who bribed a palace maid in Chengqian Palace to threaten Consort Yang, instructing her to assassinate you so that she could take the blow for you and make you feel sorry for her.

As for where Consort Jiang appeared, it was because Consort Yang felt that Consort Jiang was being harsh to her, so she harbored hatred and wanted to kill her.

As for why Eunuch Sun didn't appear on time, it's because... Consort Jiang told Eunuch Sun that she wanted to put on a play to strengthen your relationship.

Liang Qiuli recounted the story without embellishment.

After hearing what Liang Qiuli said, the emperor had a plan in mind, and at that moment, his gratitude towards Consort Jiang for saving him completely disappeared.

It was obvious that the other party was deliberately plotting against her.

"Hmph, what a clever scheme! What do they take me for? A puppet on a stage, to be assassinated or saved at will?"

"The imperial physician said you must not get angry. The poison in your body has not been completely cleared yet. Getting angry will only accelerate the spread of the poison."

Liang Qiuli secretly hoped the person would die soon, but she still tried to comfort him verbally, her expression showing some anxiety.

"Still not cleaned up? Have you found out who poisoned it?"

Chu Tianling felt that this poisoning was no accident and that there must be a conspiracy behind it.

"not yet."

Liang Qiuli shook her head, still looking worried. "However, the Regent and the Grand Tutor are working day and night to investigate the clues, and I believe the truth will come out soon."

Chu Tianling was unconvinced. He suspected that the two of them were the ones who poisoned him, if it weren't for this charade in the harem.

Even if he gets so angry that he vomits blood, he probably won't realize the hidden dangers around him.

Fortunately, he had Liang Qiuli by his side.

"Your Majesty, are you hungry? I'll go prepare some food. The imperial physician said that the poison was very likely mixed into Your Majesty's food. I must strictly control your diet."

Liang Qiuli's eyes were full of concern. After speaking, she turned around and came over.

However, these words made Chu Tianling fall into deep thought. His daily meals had always been taken care of by Eunuch Sun, so in theory there shouldn't be any problems.

It couldn't be that Eunuch Sun had actually betrayed him, but...

"Liuyun."

Chu Tianling finally decided to send his secret guards to investigate, otherwise he would never feel at ease.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Liu Yun appeared silently in front of Chu Tianling, his voice icy cold.
