Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

After the old nanny left, Concubine Xian's smile gradually disappeared and her face became grim.

She deliberately spread the news, and Concubine Wu was impatient to act. This time she went to Fu'an Palace, ostensibly to pray for blessings, but in fact Concubine Wu wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

However, she is no longer someone who could be easily taken advantage of, because her illness has long been cured.

Empress Xian stood up. Although she usually looked weak and frail, she displayed a strong aura at this moment.

On the day of the prayer, the scene was grand and the emperor led the empress dowager and three imperial concubines to Fu'an Palace.

Concubine Wu stared at a team of gorgeous carriages with a sneer on her lips. She was very curious about how a madman would appear in front of everyone.

"Empress Xian has arrived," the eunuch announced loudly.

Concubine Wu looked up and saw Concubine Xian walking slowly towards her, supported by servants. Her face was pale, and although her makeup could not hide her sickness, it made her look even more charming.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Empress Xian's voice was soft, and her frail appearance rather aroused sympathy.

The emperor looked at Concubine Xian carefully and asked, "Is your cold better?"

"Thanks to your majesty's concern, my condition has improved a lot." Empress Xian replied softly.

Concubine Wu was stunned. Didn't they say Concubine Xian was crazy? Why did she look so normal? She didn't look crazy at all!

Concubine Xian stood aside, looking around. When her eyes met Concubine Wu's, a barely perceptible light flashed in her eyes.

"Everyone is here, let's go!"

"Yes."

The huge team started slowly and headed towards Fu'an Palace.

When the common people in the capital heard about this, they all took to the streets, hoping to see the emperor in person.

For a moment, the streets were crowded with people.

"Shall we also go to Fu'an Palace to pray for blessings?"

"Great, I heard it's very lively over there! Miss, shall we go and take a look?" Yu Shu said excitedly.

Ye Yunzi frowned, "Is Empress Xian also here?"

"Yes, Concubine Wu and Concubine Yu are also here!" Yu Shu said, counting on her fingers.

Ye Yunzi became even more worried. Empress Xian had just recovered from the poison, and in such a big scene, she was afraid that something unexpected might happen again.

But she knew that these were not things she could control, and the queen would naturally have her own plans.

At this time, Zhilan knocked on the door and came in, handing her a letter, "Miss, someone told me to give this to you."

"Who sent it?" Ye Yunzi took the letter and asked casually.

Zhilan shook her head. "I don't know. She was a pretty girl."

Ye Yunzi lowered her head to read the letter. The golden pattern on the envelope made her heart tighten. This was the mark of Concubine Xian.

She remembered that Empress Xian loved painting, and she would leave such a mark on each of her works. She quickly opened the envelope, and a few words passed by her eyes.

When Ye Yunzi finished reading, her eyes suddenly widened. "Oh no!" She immediately stood up and hurried out. "Quick, prepare the carriage!"

"Miss, what happened? Where are we going?" Yu Shu had never seen the young lady so nervous and was completely confused.

Fu'an Palace is located in a corner of the capital, with an elegant environment.

The emperor and his concubines came together to pray, making this place extremely lively.

Empress Xian looked pale, with tiny beads of sweat on her forehead, and she looked very weak. Seeing this, the nanny beside her asked softly, "Madam, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Concubine Xian replied reluctantly.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go back and rest first?" suggested the nanny.

Empress Xian shook her head and insisted on completing the blessing ceremony with everyone.

After the prayers were over, two or three hours had passed before Empress Xian was able to take a short rest.

Although she was exhausted, Concubine Xian smiled at the maid and said, "Mammy, I'm a little hungry."

"I brought some plum blossom cakes that you like. They taste better if they are slightly heated up. Please wait a moment, I will prepare them." When the nanny heard that the queen had an appetite, she was so happy that she hurried to prepare it.

As soon as the nanny left, the smile on Concubine Xian's face disappeared and her expression became serious.

She already had a plan in mind to solve all the problems.

Not only will it eliminate the traitor around her, but it will also deal a blow to Concubine Wu and the Fourth Prince's lineage.

Of course, this would require her to plan carefully and pay some price.

But these are nothing. As long as I can protect Yan'er, I will do so even at the cost of my own life.

I've been in the palace long enough.

The only regret is that I can't see Yan'er again...

At this moment, the door of the room opened softly, and a palace maid pushed the door open and walked in. "My lady, is there anything I can do for you?"

Concubine Xian's gaze lingered on the palace maid for a moment. Although her heart was cold as ice, her appearance remained calm as water.

"I'm a little thirsty. Go make me a pot of flower tea."

A hint of surprise flashed in the maid's eyes, because the queen usually only used trusted people and never assigned her. Today's arrangement made her both surprised and happy.

The palace maid wondered if this meant that the queen began to pay attention to her and that she could collect information more conveniently.

"Yes, slave, go right away."

The maid agreed, turned and walked towards the kitchen, thinking about this opportunity to show off.

However, she didn't know that her fate had come to an end. In the past, Empress Xian ignored her existence, but now she decided to solve these problems once and for all.

After the palace maid left, Concubine Xian stood up and took out a small oil-paper bag from a package beside her.

With her hands trembling slightly, she slowly opened the paper bag, revealing the white powder inside.

Looking at the powder in her hand, Empress Xian's face was determined and she swallowed it all without hesitation.

Despite the bitterness in her mouth, she has no regrets.

Then she crumpled the empty paper bag into a ball and quietly buried it in a flowerpot in the house, leaving no trace.

Soon, the maid returned with tea and said with a big smile, "Your Majesty, this is the best Longjing tea in Fu'an Palace. I specially selected the best tea leaves. Please try it!"

The maid carefully poured a cup of tea and handed it to Concubine Xian.

Empress Xian took the teacup, took a sip, nodded and praised: "The tea is indeed fragrant, you are a good cook, little girl."

"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. From now on, if you want to drink tea, just let me make it for you! I will work harder!"

"Okay." Empress Xian agreed with a smile and drank three cups of tea in a row.

She felt a sharp pain in her chest and her face turned pale, but she endured it so as not to let the maid notice anything unusual and continued talking to her.

The palace maid was filled with joy and was completely unaware of Concubine Xian's discomfort, let alone that she was stepping into a situation from which there was no turning back.

As Empress Xian was speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her throat and finally couldn't help coughing up blood.

"Cough cough!"

The bloodstains on her clothes were particularly conspicuous. Empress Xian's face turned pale, and the bloodstains at the corners of her mouth were even more shocking.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The palace maid beside her opened her eyes wide in horror and hurried forward to support her.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Someone come quickly, Empress Xian is vomiting blood!"
