"Lilac? Poinsettia? What kind of plant is this?" Shen Meimei asked in confusion.
Wen Shichu walked around the bedroom again, sniffed carefully, and then said:
“Lilac flowers may look beautiful and fragrant, but they are actually poisonous. If you keep them indoors and smell them too much, you will faint, and in severe cases, your life will be in danger. The same is true for poinsettias. The sap of the plant contains a highly toxic substance, and if you accidentally eat it, you will be poisoned.
I don't know why, but I could smell these two plants in the bedroom. I wonder if anyone has been here recently?"
Jin Xi thought for a moment and said:
"Ever since Imperial Concubine Xi became seriously ill, many concubines have come to pay their respects to her. Only Imperial Concubine Jing and Imperial Concubine Duan can enter the bedroom, and there are also..."
Jin Xi didn't say anything else. She just glanced at Shen Meimei and then lowered her head.
Zhen Huan immediately took over Jin Xi's words and said:
"It definitely wasn't Sister Mei. Just because she was able to enter the bedroom doesn't mean she could poison people. These plants have all been carefully checked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If they are really poisonous, they should be able to be found out."
"No, if someone wanted to harm you, they would not let anyone find out! Huan'er, don't see any guests these days, and don't make it public, so as not to alert the enemy. Wait a few days and watch carefully to see who sent the green plants in."
Shen Meimei analyzed.
"Yes, I will definitely pay attention to it!" Jin Xi nodded and bowed.
Doctor Wen prescribed an antidote and told Jinxi to prepare the medicine herself, three bowls a day, and the poison would be cleared in about five days.
Only then did Zhen Huan breathe a sigh of relief. She had been pretending to be sick these days and now she could see clearly who among the concubines in the harem were her true friends.
As they were talking, Ye Lan Yi came outside to ask for a meeting. She knew that Prince Guo was coming back from Yanming Pass, and she had too many questions in her mind to ask Shen Meimei.
Zhen Huan also stopped lying down. She looked at Jin Xi and said:
"Let her in. There's no need to hide some things from her. We're all family!"
Without waiting for Jinxi to leave, Ye Lanyi rushed in. She bowed symbolically and said:
"I pay my respects to the two ladies, Imperial Concubine Xi and Imperial Concubine Hui. I just received news that Prince Guo will be returning to the capital soon and has captured Moge alive. How can this drama continue?"
Ye Lanyi has always been quick-witted and outspoken, and she does not hide her love for Prince Guo.
When Zhen Huan heard that Prince Guo was going back to Beijing, she was startled at first, then she tore off the fever-reducing patch on her forehead and said anxiously:
"Sister Mei, what should we do? Why didn't Prince Guo act according to the plan? Did he regret it?"
Without waiting for Shen Meimei to answer, Ye Lanyi spoke first:
"No, Prince Guo is a man who values friendship and loyalty. He will never regret it. Maybe he was delayed because of something else."
Shen Meimei also nodded and said:
"Huan'er, don't panic. You'll know the answer when Prince Guo returns to the capital!"
No matter how much speculation we make now, it will be in vain. We can only wait until Prince Guo returns to Beijing.
In the next few days, Zhen Huan continued to pretend to be sick, while Jin Xi paid attention to the green plants sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day.
As expected by Shen Meimei, on that day, a palace maid secretly replaced the two pots of green plants sent by the housekeeping department, and was caught by Shen Meimei.
When the maid saw that it was Concubine Hui, she was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed:
"Please spare me, Concubine Hui. I only came here to move the plants and didn't do anything else!"
Shen Meimei grabbed the palace maid's hand and snorted coldly:
"Why don't you tell the truth? If you were just moving plants, why are you so flustered when you saw me? Who asked you to come?"
