"Musk? The incense burners were all taken by people from each palace, so how could there be musk? Could it be..." Concubine Mei said in surprise as if she had thought of something.
"It seems that my sister has also thought of it. So combined with the fact that I saw Xubi and the little palace maid at my sister's place, and the fact that my sister has been in poor spirits these days, I think ~ the little palace maid must be someone around my sister." Song Qian said with a smile.
"Why are you telling me? Are you so kind?" Concubine Mei asked suspiciously.
"Oh, kind-hearted?" Song Qian smiled and continued, "There are no kind-hearted people in this palace. I just don't want to be the queen, but I won't let others bully me."
"So ~ you are here to cooperate with me?" Mei Fei continued doubtfully.
"I guess so~" Song Qian said vaguely.
"By the way, let me remind my sister again, about tomorrow's banquet, although I don't know if the Queen will be so bold as to not even let go of tomorrow's state banquet, it is better to be cautious." Song Qian left after she finished speaking. No one saw that Song Qian had just walked out of the room and disappeared. Concubine Mei was still thinking about the credibility of Song Qian's words, so with doubt in her heart, she extinguished the incense in the incense burner and checked it. It was just as Song Qian said, and hers also had a kind of aphrodisiac incense.
"Ningxiang~" Concubine Mei called out anxiously.
"What does your Majesty want me to do?" Ningxiang walked over quickly.
"Ningxiang, hurry up, go get the imperial physician. Remember, go in person and don't alarm anyone." Mei Fei seemed to have thought of something and continued, "Wait, don't ask the imperial physician from last time. Ask Imperial Physician Gao this time. Go quickly."
"Yes, your majesty, I'll go right away." Ningxiang avoided others and went to ask for Doctor Gao.
"Imperial Physician, how is my health now?" Concubine Mei asked anxiously.
"This..." Doctor Gao said hesitantly: "Please forgive me for speaking frankly, Your Majesty, you have been poisoned for a long time and your body is now in a critical condition." Concubine Mei slumped in the chair, her eyes dull. Ningxiang quickly asked the doctor to leave, and before leaving, she asked him to keep it a secret.
"Ningxiang, go find out who the palace maid was who went to the rockery a few days ago." Concubine Mei came back to her senses and said angrily.
The timeline goes back to the state banquet...
Concubine Mei looked at the queen on the high throne with hatred, then suddenly rushed out and knelt down in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me," Mei Fei cried.
"Concubine Mei, do you have anything to report to me? Do you need me to make a decision for you?" Li Ziming frowned.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has tried to murder me. She put musk and incense in my incense burner. Now I don't have much time left. Please, Your Majesty, help me."
"Your Majesty, I didn't do that. I don't know why Sister Mei Fei wanted to slander me." Yang Piaoxue said quickly upon seeing this.
"How dare you! Concubine Mei, do you know what crime it is to slander the queen of a country?" Li Ziming said angrily.
"Your Majesty, I am not talking empty words. Ahem, I have caught the palace maid who is in contact with Xubi, who is beside the Queen. I also have some unburned incense from yesterday. Please, Your Majesty, take charge of this matter for me." Concubine Mei said hatefully, pointing at the Queen.
"Someone, bring that palace maid up here." The emperor angrily slammed the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. This was all done by the Empress who ordered me to do it. It has nothing to do with me." The little palace maid kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"How dare you slander the current queen mother." Yang Shenyuan couldn't sit still and stood up and said.
"The Prime Minister is so powerful. I haven't even spoken yet!" Li Ziming looked at Yang Shenyuan and said coldly.
"Come here, call Imperial Physician Gao to check this package of medicine for me. Eunuch Wan, take people to search. If this is true, I will punish you severely."
An hour later...
Eunuch Wan presented the evidence of the search to Li Ziming and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear. Suddenly the emperor became furious: "Bold queen, as the mother of a country, you dare to poison and use the art of witchcraft. Come, drag the queen away." Li Ziming said angrily.
"Your Majesty, I'm not a good parent. Please calm down." Yang Shenyuan said quickly. Li Ziming glanced at Yang Shenyuan and knew he was threatening him. He suppressed his anger and said, "Since Prime Minister Yang has devoted his heart and soul to the country for many years, the Queen can be spared the death penalty and be banished to the cold palace. No one is allowed to enter without my order. Concubine Xian will be promoted to Imperial Noble Concubine, and the Phoenix Seal will be temporarily in the hands of Concubine Xian. Let's go back to the palace."
"Farewell to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Li Ziming returned to his bedroom. Thinking about how cruel the queen was and the threats from Prime Minister Yang, he vomited blood and fell into a coma.
"Someone come, someone come quickly! The emperor has fainted." Eunuch Wan said anxiously.
"Doctor Gao, how is the emperor?" Eunuch Wan asked Doctor Gao anxiously.
"The emperor has been poisoned for a long time, I'm afraid..." Doctor Gao shook his head and said.
"What should I do?" Eunuch Wan paced back and forth anxiously. Suddenly Li Ziming opened his eyes and asked weakly: "Doctor Gao, what's wrong with me?"
"Your Majesty, you have been poisoned, and it is a chronic poison. You have been poisoned for a long time. I am afraid that I am incompetent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Doctor Gao said tremblingly.
"The Queen is such a vicious woman~ Ahem, she even dared to poison me."
On the other side, the Prime Minister's Mansion...
"This damn Li Ziming doesn't even take me seriously and even banished Xue'er to the cold palace." Yang Shen was so angry that he smashed all the teacups on the tea table.
"Prime Minister, please calm down. The young lady has great influence in the harem. I believe that as long as we make some arrangements, the young lady will not suffer even in the cold palace. Now the emperor doesn't know that he has been poisoned. I believe that it won't be long before the Prime Minister's great cause can be accomplished." said one of Yang Shenyuan's subordinates.
"Yes, Prime Minister, when the emperor takes effect of the poison, that will be the day we start our army. A little impatience will ruin a great plan, Prime Minister." Another subordinate of Yang Shenyuan said.
After Yang Shenyuan heard this, he suppressed his anger. Suddenly, a servant came running in and said, "Prime Minister, there is news from the palace."
"Speak." Yang Shenyuan said sternly.
"News just came out from the palace that the emperor spat out blood when he returned to his bedroom and is now unconscious." The servant replied respectfully.
"Okay, hahaha, great, even God is helping me. You continue to keep an eye on the news in the palace and report to me if there is any situation." Yang Shenyuan pointed at the servant and said to his two subordinates, "You go and make arrangements. We will enter the palace early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."
Taifu Mansion......
"What? The emperor is poisoned and unconscious? Hurry, prepare the horses, I want to go to the palace to meet him." Xiao Zheyu said anxiously.
"Taifu, please be patient. If you go there this time, I'm afraid it will give Yang Shenyuan a chance to frame the emperor. We have already received news from the emperor. His life is not in danger for now, but he has been poisoned for a long time. I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left." Mo Xuan said lightly.
