A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

After Bai Luoluo finished doing all this, she looked up and said.

"Guard Leng Feng, please come in for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Leng Feng pushed open the door and walked in. He saw two bottles hanging strangely on an iron pole, with the other end connected to the back of his prince's hand.

"Your Highness... what is this?"

"This is an IV drip. When this one runs out, you can remove it and put on another one. After it's all finished, remove the needle from the back of your hand and press it for a while. After the drip is finished, give the prince some light food and two pills after the meal."

Bai Luoluo taught Leng Feng how to change the dressing.

Although Leng Feng was completely confused at that moment, he understood what he was hearing.

"Your Highness, I understand."

"You learn very quickly, you're so smart," Bai Luoluo praised. "Achi, lie down and rest, I'll be right back."

After Bai Luoluo finished speaking, she glanced at the IV drip again, found that there was nothing wrong, and then walked out.

"Leng Ye, take Qin Chuan with you to protect the Princess's safety."

Gu Yanchi instructed, still very worried.

"Yes."

Leng Ye accepted the order.

As soon as Bai Luoluo left the Prince's residence, she saw the same people who had come to pick her up last time; they must all be the Empress's confidants.

"Miss Bai has finally come out. This old servant has been waiting for a long time."

The father-in-law spoke in a sarcastic tone, clearly displeased.

"I wasn't feeling well, that's why I came out late."

After all, it was the Empress's dog; there was no need for her to be so petty.

"Please get in the carriage quickly, the Empress must be getting impatient."

The father-in-law didn't dare to say anything more. He could only urge Bai Luoluo to get in the car and hurry back to report.

.........

The queen's bedroom.

The Empress waited and waited, but Bai Luoluo did not appear, and she grew somewhat angry.

That damned little bitch, how dare she make her wait so long.

Just then, the father-in-law came to report.

Bai Luoluo then entered the hall.

"I am unwell and have arrived a little late. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; she still needed to feign compliance with the Empress.

"Since you are not feeling well, sit down and answer my questions."

The Empress's gaze was deep as she glanced at Bai Luoluo a few times before speaking calmly.

"Thank you, Queen, for your consideration."

Bai Luoluo sat obediently on a chair to the side, while Ya Nu slowly walked out from behind and stood beside the Empress, glancing at her every now and then.

Seeing such scrutiny and probing, Bai Luoluo acted nonchalantly as if she hadn't noticed anything.

"Has the Prince of Xiling's residence received a doctor skilled in medicine?"

The Empress got straight to the point, explaining that, according to the Crow Servant's report, the Gu worms seemed to be out of control, and the mother Gu was drowsy, which must have been caused by someone disturbing the offspring Gu on Gu Yanchi's body.

"I have never seen such a doctor before, but I heard that Xuanzhi from Medicine King Valley sent someone to my residence. I do not know the specifics of what he did."

Upon hearing this, the Empress and the Crow Slave exchanged a glance.

Xuanzhi, a descendant of the Medicine King Valley, knew that this person was a friend of Gu Yanchi.

"Did you put that worm I gave you last time into the King of Xiling's food?"

The Empress continued to ask.

"Not yet."

Bai Luoluo replied truthfully.

"Don't you want to marry the Third Prince?"

The Empress was somewhat displeased upon hearing this.

"This humble woman is in love with the Third Prince, how could she not want to marry him? It's just that I haven't found the opportunity yet. Just now, I had a chance, but because Her Majesty the Empress summoned me to the palace, I missed a golden opportunity."

Bai Luoluo's eyes held a hint of regret.

The Empress frowned; what a coincidence!

She couldn't help but scrutinize Bai Luoluo's expression, and seeing the regret in her eyes, she believed it to be true.

"It was my impatience. The hunt is in two days, and this matter cannot be delayed. We must put the insects into the Prince of Xiling's food within these two days. Do you understand?"

"Your subject understands. In the past two days, I have completely gained the trust of the King of Xiling. I will definitely accomplish this task. However, it has been a long time since I had a proper conversation with the Third Prince. I miss him very much and wish to meet with him alone to express my longing."

After saying this, Bai Luoluo felt a wave of nausea.

The empress smiled, but her eyes were full of disdain.

How stupid! He still wants to see Jin'er at a time like this.

"When do you wish to meet? I will arrange it for you."

Bai Luoluo lowered her eyes and then said, "This humble woman would like to ask... if the night before the hunt is alright?"

She looked shy and embarrassed.

"Yes, as long as you handle this matter well, I will definitely fulfill your request. In the future, you will be the Third Prince's concubine, and after you give birth to a prince, I will help you become his principal wife."

This empress is good at making empty promises; she can lie without batting an eye.

"This humble woman thanks Your Majesty the Empress for granting my request."

Bai Luoluo showed a happy expression.

Women in ancient times had a really tough life.

If you keep scheming and calculating every day, you might end up scheming your own death.

Looking back now, there was never a time to be content.

Women bring trouble, and the emperor probably never imagined that his first wife was such a viper.

"Deceive the Prince of Xiling well and do not let him discover any clues. Once it is done, the Third Prince will naturally dote on you as a reward."

nausea........

I freaking threw up!!!

Don't even think about pampering or rewards in this lifetime.

"I am overjoyed and grateful to Your Majesty the Empress for granting my wish."

"Yes, kneel down and take your leave. If anything happens, inform the Third Prince."

The empress looked exhausted.

"Your Majesty, please retire."

Bai Luoluo stood up, bowed slightly, and withdrew.

The empress smiled disdainfully, her eyes full of mockery.

Zhang Yuxue is so talented and beautiful, and Bai Hao is so brave and skilled in battle. They are both outstanding figures, yet they have such a stupid and incompetent daughter. It is truly retribution.

Zhang Yuyao has done a great job over the years.

The Empress snapped out of her thoughts. "What does Crow Slave think?"

"The slumber of the Gu worms must be the work of Xuanzhi, but Your Majesty, rest assured, the hunt will be the time when the King of Xiling goes mad, and he will surely die then."

"Alright, this time we must eradicate them completely. Do not let the Gu worms feel any discomfort in the next two days, so as not to let the King of Xiling find out."

"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

"Yes, go and prepare well, and do not disappoint me."

"Yes."

The servant slowly withdrew from the bedchamber, leaving the Empress alone.

Bai Luoluo was stopped by someone as soon as she left the Empress's palace.

Only after being reminded by her father-in-law did Bai Luoluo realize that it was Consort Shu, the mother of the Fifth Princess.

As if she had been waiting for her there on purpose, a deep hatred welled up in Consort Shu's eyes the moment she saw Bai Luoluo.

"How dare you not pay your respects to me, the imperial concubine!"

Consort Shu spoke with a fierce tone, as if Bai Luoluo had killed her entire family, harboring a deep-seated hatred.

"This humble woman greets Consort Shu."

Bai Luoluo said she had seen it before, but she didn't bend down; instead, she stood up straight.

"Not knowing respect for hierarchy, this is the upbringing of the General's Mansion."

Consort Shu was relentless; she had come specifically to question Bai Luoluo after learning of her arrival in the palace.

If it weren't for this wretched woman, her beloved daughter would never have been sent to the Imperial Clan Court for three years.

"Consort Shu, please be careful with your words. It is not for a concubine to judge how well I have been raised."

Seeing that Consort Shu was clearly looking for trouble, Bai Luoluo naturally wouldn't tolerate it.
