“Yes, when His Majesty woke up just now, he couldn’t forget the pigeon soup you made. It’s a pity that His Majesty has just woken up and can’t drink such greasy things. Don’t worry, Your Majesty. When His Majesty’s condition has improved, I will immediately inform Your Majesty. At that time, 1 will have to trouble Your Majesty to personally make soup for His Majesty.” Gu Qingxue spoke unhurriedly. As she spoke, her smiling gaze fell on the empress.
The empress was so frightened that her face turned pale. She tried her best to control her emotions, but the feeling of having her plans discovered and being stripped naked swept over her uncontrollably. She was at a loss for what to do for a moment.
Seeing the empress like this, Gu Qingxue sneered even more in her heart. She lowered her head to hide the emotions that flashed across her eyes and continued with a smile, “Your Majesty, why do you seem unhappy after the poison in His Majesty’s body was removed?”
The empress was shocked and quickly denied, “Princess Consort, don’t speak nonsense. I’m overjoyed!”
“Since the empress has said so, then this official can rest assured. Your
Majesty, this official still has to go out and prepare the medicine for His Majesty’s health, so I won’t stay here for long. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself.” Gu Qingxue looked at the empress’s terrified expression in satisfaction. She stood up and left without looking back.
After watching Gu Qingxue leave, the empress’s taut nerves were completely broken. She hurriedly reached out to grab the maid beside her. “Jing Yi! Do you think His Majesty discovered something? The reason why I was so reckless to poison him was because Hua’er promised me that once he made a move, he would succeed. That was why I agreed! Now that such a thing has happened, what should I do?”
“Your Majesty the Empress, so what if His Majesty suspects?” Jing Yi hurriedly comforted. “That bowl of pigeon soup had been cleaned up long ago. No one would find any evidence! Moreover, you have the first prince by your side, so you don’t have to worry. If you let the cat out of the bag, you’ll be suspected.”
“No, no, then I can’t sit here and wait for death! Go out of the palace to find Hua’er and ask him what to do next. He must give me an explanation, otherwise, I will not be able to rest easy no matter what!” When the empress spoke, her face had already turned deathly pale.
“Yes, don’t worry, this servant will go now.” Jing Yi agreed and quickened her pace to leave Fengyi Palace.
That night, in the crown prince’s residence, Jing Yi successfully met Rong Jinghua in the reception hall.
Rong Jinghua seemed to have been busy all day. He looked tired as he reached out to rub the space between his eyebrows. “Mother asked you to come over, so is there something urgent you need to tell me?
“Your Highness,” Jing Yi said, “Something big has happened. The poison in His Majestys body has been removed and he has woken up!
Rong Jinghua looked up at Jing Yi with dissatisfaction and said coldly, “Watch your words. It’s a great thing that Father can wake up. Aren’t you afraid that people will blame you if you say this?”
Jing Yi could not help but be stunned. Only then did she suddenly realize that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly lowered her head and knelt down.
Sweat seeped out of her forehead. “Yes, this servant said something wrong. The empress asked this servant to come over and ask His Highness the Crown Prince. His Majesty has already woken up, and it is very likely that the poisoning is related to the empress.. May I ask how should this matter be handled?”
