Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 617

She and Xiaohe covered their mouths tightly and hid in the artificial cave. The guards approached step by step, and the cold glint of their blades in the night was blinding.

"It's me." Just then, the figure appeared.

The guards turned around and saw the newcomer, but they were not surprised. They bowed and withdrew. A short while later, a woman wearing a large hat hurriedly walked out of the Cold Palace.

I could see the person's face clearly in the moonlight.

Immediately afterwards, a man followed and quickly left.

The surroundings were silent, except for a figure outside the artificial hill; he hadn't left yet.

"Come out, Consort Qi."

Qi Yumin felt weak all over. The man couldn't wait for her to come in and smiled at her, "Don't worry, no one knows it's you except me."

Looking at the man's face, she became even more terrified.

......

"Your Majesty, Consort Qi is ill. I heard that the Imperial Concubine summoned her last night."

Yun Xiyue wasn't surprised. "Then let's go see her."

She thought it was because Pei Fang forced her to pretend to be sick.

But unexpectedly, Qi Yumin was actually sick.

He looks quite ill.

"Consort Qi fainted from fright and now has a persistent high fever," the imperial physician said after examining her.

Shocked?

"Are you not injured?" Yun Xiyue asked.

The imperial physician shook his head. "No, it's just excessive fright."

Yunxi Yue signaled to the imperial physician to take his leave.

They had someone summon a vengeful hand to administer an acupuncture treatment, and only then did she wake up.

"Indeed, he was too frightened." Ghost Hand left after saying this.

Qi Yumin woke up groggily, "Your Majesty...I..."

"The imperial physician said you were frightened. Who threatened you?"

Yun Xiyue sat down and touched her forehead. It was ice cold. She looked pitiful, as if she was so frightened that she couldn't even speak.

"Your Majesty, Consort De, Consort Gui, and Consort Xian have come to visit Consort Qi."

After he finished speaking, the group came in together, bowed, and exchanged a few words of greeting.

When it was Zhou Zhilan's turn, Qi Yumin's expression changed slightly, as if she had been stimulated by something, "You..."

He vomited before he could even speak.

Yunxi Yue called for Ghost Hand to come in.

"This is a physiological reaction of her vomiting; she must have encountered something disgusting."

Yun Xiyue looked up and glanced at Zhou Zhilan.

Zhou Zhilan laughed and said, "What's wrong? Did we come to visit her and disgust her?"

"Your Majesty, you must stand up for me."

Yun Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, glanced at her swollen little mouth, and immediately understood what had happened.

"You may all go back! Consort Qi has caught a cold; it has nothing to do with your visit."

Jiang Sijin understood this kind of pain. She had caught a cold in the capital and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. "I have a sachet here to prevent vomiting. Smelling it will make you feel better."

She brought it to Qi Yumin.

"Thank you, Concubine Xian."

Jiang Sijin said "You're welcome" and left with the others.

Qi Yumin was still in great pain.

The ghostly hand prescribed her medicine.

"What did you see last night?" Yun Xiyue dismissed everyone else and asked her alone.
