The concubine is soft and charming, and the prince is willing to seduce her

Chapter 40 Rumors of Serious Illness
Nan Zhiyu, holding Snowball, and Qingdai and others took some rarely traveled paths, and returned to Jiangyunxuan after a long journey. It was almost dark.

After returning to the house, Nan Zhiyu drank two cups of tea in a row before she felt better.

Snowball drank most of the water in the other porcelain bowl with a few gulps.

"My lady, are you afraid that Concubine Ming will find out?" Qingdai asked in a low voice while holding the teapot and refilling the cup slowly.

Before entering the house, Lian Yue dismissed his attendants and took a walk around the inner room. After finding nothing wrong, he walked forward and took the tea handed to him by Qingdai.

"If Concubine Ming knew about this, given her personality, she would be quiet on the surface, but who knows how much trouble she would cause behind the scenes before she would give up.

The young lady has just established herself in this palace, there is no need to confront her and get herself into trouble."

Lian Yue drank the herbal tea in her hand and felt a little better.

Nan Zhiyu rubbed Xueqiu's chin with her fingers and whispered, "The reason why Ming Zhaoyi dared to do this is because she has a trump card. She thinks that no matter when, as long as someone confronts her, the prince will choose her instead of others.

So, try not to confront her head-on before you figure this out."

Even if the prince entrusted his favorite cat to her care, she had no way of guaranteeing that the prince would stand on her side.

After all, the little affection and compassion bestowed by those in power are nothing compared to their power and interests.

"Lian Yue, go to Ganlu Palace tomorrow to ask for leave and say that I have caught a cold. Don't forget to go to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine."

Lian Yue quickly said yes, without taking his eyes off Snowball for even a second.

Qingdai went to find some dried fish and when she reached out to feed it, Snowball turned his little head away and ignored her.

"My dear, why is this cat so aloof?" Qingdai took the dried fish and shook it in front of Snowball without giving up.

Lian Yue took the dried fish from her hand and said, "Snowball, your favorite dried fish."

Snowball turned his head and sniffed as if he was sure of something. Then he gently picked it up and chewed it slowly and methodically.

"It actually recognizes people?" Qingdai had never seen such a smart cat and found it a little strange.

Nan Zhiyu was sitting aside flipping through a book. She couldn't help but find it funny when she saw the two people whispering around the cat.

For nearly half a month, Nan Zhiyu hid in Jiangyunxuan and did not go out. Occasionally, Concubine Mu and Concubine Jiang would come to visit her.

On this day, Nan Zhiyu was dozing off in a bamboo rocking chair, the book she was reading in her hands was shaking.

There was a "bang" sound, and she was so scared that she sat up in a panic, "What happened?"

Qingdai was standing beside the flower stand by the window, looking at her with some horror on her face. There was a pot of smashed orchid on the ground.

"My lady, come and take a look!" There was a hint of fear in Qingdai's voice.

Nan Zhiyu lazily stood up, walked over, glanced at the broken orchid, and consoled her, "The roots of this orchid are black and necrotic, probably because of too much water, it's nothing serious..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Zhiyu realized something was wrong. There was a faint smell of medicine coming from the soil.

She closed her eyes, thought for a few breaths, and calmly ordered: "Go call Lian Yue, take this orchid out and bury it quietly, and don't make any noise."

Qingdai knew the interests involved in this matter, and nodded hard with a stern face.

Some people actually dared to attack their master right under her nose, so don't blame her for being cruel.

The moment Qingdai stepped out of the room holding the flowerpot, the aura on her body suddenly became fierce. When Lianyue passed by her, she felt that she seemed a little strange, but she didn't think much about it.

In the evening, Qingdai came into the hall carrying a bowl of medicine as usual. Lianyue took a silver needle and tried it inside. The needle turned black instantly.

"My dear, someone wants to harm you. There is poison in this medicine." Lian Yue's expression became more and more ugly, and the fingertips holding the silver needle turned a little pale.

"I and Sister Lianyue have already cleared out a group of spies planted in from other palaces, but we didn't expect there are more deeply buried ones." Qingdai's eyes fell on the dark medicine bowl, and she said with some gritted teeth. "Okay, you two don't blame yourselves. In the end, it's because I have been in this palace for too short a time and my foundation is shallow. Send more people to pay attention in the next two days, relax on the outside, and tighten up on the inside, and see who is behind the scenes."

Snowball ate the food sent from Chongming Temple tonight and played with the ball of yarn on the floor with great enthusiasm.

"Starting tomorrow, spread the word that my illness is getting worse and ask the imperial physician to come and treat me. Then you can ask what was added here."

Nan Zhiyu rubbed her brows tiredly and lay on the bed to have a good night's sleep.

The news that Yue Fengyi was seriously ill spread from somewhere and everyone knew about it.

Many palace maids and eunuchs felt that Yue Fengyi was a beauty with a tragic fate and was not blessed enough to receive the favor of the prince.

After hearing this, Qingdai said nothing, turned around and left with a gloomy face.

The most anxious person should be Chai Hui from Chongming Palace. When he heard the news, he was so scared that his face turned pale.

Didn’t Yue Fengyi just catch a minor cold? How come news of his serious illness suddenly spread overnight?

The prince has been so preoccupied with court affairs lately that he has no time to take care of these things.

Could it be that I didn't take good care of Lian Yue and let those villains take advantage of me?

He scared himself, and in the blink of an eye, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing that something was not right, Xiao Luzi came up and asked in a low voice, "Eunuch Xiao Chai, what's wrong with you?"

Chai Hui took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped it, then sighed and said, "Go to Jiangyunxuan and ask Aunt Lianyue what the condition of Yue Fengyi's illness is."

Xiao Luzi nodded happily, "Don't worry, Master Xiao Chai, I will definitely make it beautiful for you."

In Chongming Palace, the prince put down the memorial in his hand and rubbed his forehead with a headache. "You have been sick for so long, and you are still not well?"

Chai shrank his head and pretended not to know what the prince was talking about.

Wei Qingye glanced at him and said, "You look so guilty, are you hiding something from me?"

Chai Hui smiled flatteringly, "Your Highness, you are joking. How dare I hide anything from you!"

Anyway, he had only heard about Yue Fengyi from hearsay, and he would have to wait for Xiao Luzi to come back to know the details.

This... shouldn't be considered a crime of deception, right? !

The prince sneered, "You are just a dog slave, you are only good at speaking sweet words."

Chai Hui Liansheng denied it, "I am a poor speaker, so I can't say anything sweet.

If I really had that ability, I wouldn't be unable to help Your Highness when he was so depressed."

The prince casually picked up the memorial beside him and threw it over, "You dog slave, if I give you a little color, you will open a dyeing factory."

Chai Hui nimbly took the memorial and sent it back happily, "Your Highness, would you like some basil drink?"

When the prince heard these three words, he paused holding the memorial and said, "But, remember to add some mint in it."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Chai turned around and walked outside.
