"Okay, host. According to the scan, the dishes and chopsticks used exclusively by concubines are now placed in the cabinet on the east side of the imperial kitchen."

"It takes about 15 minutes from here to the imperial kitchen, and the banquet is less than 30 minutes away. It looks like I have to hurry."

At this time, Yun Fu didn't know that there was a man in black on a big tree not far behind her who was observing her every move, and watched her back disappear towards the direction of the imperial kitchen.

Everyone was busy with the banquet and no one noticed that a man in black suddenly appeared in the cold palace.

"master."

"Speak." Song Qian leaned lazily on the bed, but his voice was a little cold.

"A Yuan said that the little maid named Yun Fu left Jinghe Palace and went to the imperial kitchen."

"Oh? Doesn't she know that those ladies are tasting the palace maids? Is she planning to put it in the dishes?" Song Qian revealed a playful smile.

"A Yuan said that the last place she was was in front of a cabinet on the east side of the imperial kitchen."

"Oh, that's interesting. It looks like this little maid can be used by me. Go and give her a hand."

"Yes."

Yun Fu completed the task of drugging and felt very relaxed. She did not realize that it was Song Qian who sent people to lure away the guards, which allowed her to drug so easily. Little Jidan was concentrating on the host's every move and did not notice that there were several men in black behind Yun Fu.

The banquet began, and the concubines from all palaces had taken their seats. They were laughing and talking happily, completely unaware that a plan against the queen and the forces behind her had begun...

After the banquet, concubines who came out of the Queen's banquet developed rashes and fevers one after another. For a while, people were in a panic. It was reported from the Queen's bedroom that the epidemic had spread to the entire harem. In the court, Prime Minister Yang Shenyuan and Grand Tutor Xiao Yuzhe were arguing over this matter. Although the emperor's lineage was right, the emperor had been incompetent for many years and the court had long been controlled by the prime minister. The Grand Tutor could not do anything to the prime minister. In order to appease the public anger, the prime minister could only propose to confine the queen.

On the other side, in Jinghe Palace, "Investigate for me! Who is framing me? Those who gossip behind my back should be killed as a warning to others. Do you know what to do?" The woman sitting on the armchair, with an elegant appearance but speaking words that are inconsistent with her appearance is none other than Queen Yang Piaoxue.

"Yes, I know what to do." The woman who looked smart and capable was the head maid, Weibi, who had followed the queen for many years.

"Well, how is that little bitch in the cold palace doing now?"

"Your Highness, Concubine Song is the same as usual, and nothing unusual has been found."

"Well, I think the emperor wants me to be under house arrest. Without me to suppress him, he will definitely go to that little bitch. You should keep an eye on the emperor for me. If there is any unusual movement, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty." A little palace maid named Ye Ying died suddenly in the harem. From then on, no one dared to talk about the epidemic in the Queen's bedroom.

Qinyang Palace... Concubine Ping stood in the courtyard and looked in the direction of Jinghe Palace. No one knew whether she was looking at the scenery or something else.

In the cold palace, Yun Fu is expressing her sincerity to Song Qian...

"Madam Song, I have completed the task you assigned to me. Do you think I have fulfilled your request?"

"Since you are qualified, I'll keep you for the time being." Song Qian took a sip of tea and looked at Yun Fu secretly.

Yun Fu has been with Song Qian for three days. Every day, she is either ordered by Song Qian to serve tea, massage his legs and shoulders, or watch him stare at the tree in the courtyard. She has no idea what she is thinking. The man in black that she saw before is not here. If she wants to save Song Qian, the first step is to leave the cold palace and gain the emperor's favor. However, with Song Qian's appearance, it is difficult for her to even see the emperor, let alone leave the cold palace. This makes Yun Fu very worried. What Yun Fu doesn't know is that the emperor has always been thinking about Song Qian and wants to come to the cold palace to see her. He even went to the court to show off in front of Song Qian. However, he was stared at by Xu Bi, who was beside the queen, and he couldn't get away for a while. He was so angry that he found many excuses to kill the people around the queen.

"Little Egg, what is the emperor doing now?"

"Host, I detected that the emperor is staying in the imperial study and has killed many people."

"They say that serving a king is like serving a tiger. It seems to be true." Yun Fu sighed softly and shook her head gently.

"What, you can't stay in my cold palace anymore? Why are you sighing here?" Yun Fu looked at Song Qian who suddenly walked in front of her. Although she asked in a lazy voice, the cold light in her eyes seemed that if she just said yes, she would be disposed of. Yun Fu couldn't help but roar in her heart: "Little Egg! When did Song Qian come here?!!! Why didn't you remind me?!! You idiot!!"

"I'm sorry, host. I'm checking on the emperor's situation. Didn't you ask me to check on the emperor's situation?" Little Egg said aggrievedly. Yun Fu couldn't help wanting to hold her forehead when she heard this, but looking at Song Qian in front of her, she didn't dare.

"Hehe, how dare I? Madam, I'm just thinking about how to help you, aren't I?" Yun Fu smiled in a flattering manner. She didn't realize that her cute and innocent look made Song Qian lose her mind for a moment.

"Hmph, stop smiling like that. Tell me, what have you thought about?" Song Qian lazily lay on the bed that had been moved to the courtyard, raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Fu.

"If you want to help Your Majesty, you must first be helped to leave this cold palace." Yun Fu said solemnly.

"Oh~" Song Qian took a sip of tea and motioned Yun Fu to continue.

"If we want to leave the cold palace, we still need the emperor's help, so I'm thinking about how to lure the emperor over."

"Okay, then you go and do it." Song Qian said slowly.

Not long after Yun Fu left, the man in black who had not been seen for a long time came to Song Qian.

"Master, the matter has been handled. The Queen will not find out about us."

"Well, keep sending people to keep an eye on it. How's the situation with the Liuyue Gang?" Song Qian continued to speak slowly, as if he was just asking about the weather today.

"I will continue to send people to keep an eye on the Liuyue Gang. Everything is normal over there. It's just that there is a force keeping an eye on the Liuyue Gang. We don't know which force it is yet. I will continue to investigate."

"Let Mo Yuan investigate that force. Send someone to keep an eye on that old bastard Yang Shenyuan. His daughter is under house arrest, so I'm sure he will take some action. Let's see what he wants to do."

"Yes, then Yun Fu..."

"You don't need to keep an eye on her. She's just a little maid. Do you want to lure the emperor over? Oh, that's interesting. Mo Xuan, it's time for us to meet the emperor."

"But... Master, you..."

"Hmm?" Song Qian's cold gaze fell on Mo Xuan.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."
