The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 218
In the prince's bedroom, the woman on the couch had her eyes closed and her lips were worryingly pale. It took a long time for Imperial Doctor Hu to withdraw his finger on Xiyue's pulse, not knowing what to do.

"Your Highness, judging from the pulse condition of the Crown Princess Concubine, there is nothing serious."

Dongfang Xu on the side was slightly surprised, and his eyes drifted to Shen Qing in the corner with doubts.The other party is also frowning, Xiyue is unconscious now, why can't Doctor Hu see the clue?
Xiyue fell into a coma outside the cold palace, Shen Qing immediately reported to the prince, and placed her in a safe place to avoid being bumped by other palace people.Dongfang Xu immediately brought Xiyue back with two confidantes.

"Isn't it poisoning?"

"This... I really can't see it. The princess is a little anxious, but she is not unconscious. Forgive me for my incompetence..."

Could it be that she is faking it?Such a possibility flashed in Dongfang Xu's mind, "This matter must not be disclosed."

Doctor Hu immediately nodded deeply, "I understand."

In the study, Shen Qing described everything that happened at that time in detail, and Dongfang Xu immediately denied the possibility of Xiyue pretending to be unconscious.

It seems that something unknown happened in the cold palace, and it was related to the Concubine Mei inside. If such a situation happened in Xiyue, I'm afraid it has something to do with her.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has woken up."

At this time, the voice of Xiyue's personal maid came from outside.

When Xinlan thought that the prince sent Xiyue back today, although she didn't know what happened, it was undoubtedly a good thing for the empress.

The door opened slowly, and the handsome man came out, Xinlan quickly lowered her head, Dongfang Xu just paused in front of her for a moment, then strode towards the bedroom.

Opening her hazy eyes, Xiyue felt that her mind was in chaos. For a moment, she forgot where she was, sat up with difficulty, and looked at the strange things around her, then the sun gradually woke her up. Without her memory, she felt as if she had had a very terrible nightmare.

"Miss!"

Xinlan's voice came from outside, Xiyue opened her mouth slightly, but the familiar yet unfamiliar handsome face appeared in front of her eyes.

This is the second time Dongfang Xu has stepped into this bedroom since his wedding.

"how do you feel?"

There was a hint of warmth in this voice, which made Xiyue feel a little joy in her heart, "I'm a concubine..."

Her eyes fell on Shen Qing who came in with Dongfang Xu, and she suddenly trembled, yes, she was not dreaming, she really walked through the gate of hell!
"What, does it still hurt?"

Dongfang Xu looked at her blank expression, as if he wanted to find out some useful news.

Xiyue immediately came to her senses, "No... I am a concubine, I am fine..."

"I heard from Shen Qing that you passed out while taking a walk, but where did you feel unwell?"

There was an ugly smile on Xiyue's face, "I just haven't slept well these days, it's fine, thank you Your Highness for your concern."

How could she tell that she was poisoned by that empress in the cold palace.

"Didn't sleep well?" Dongfang Xu's tone was scrutinizing, Xiyue nodded nervously, "Yeah..."

"Since that's the case, the palace will ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some calming medicine for you. Otherwise, the Crown Princess will faint in full view, and the whole palace will be in a state of unrest."

How could Xiyue not hear his obvious intention of blaming, he must have felt that he had lost face, but...

Xiyue suppressed her grievances, "Your Highness, can I have dinner with my concubine tonight?"

"No need, the Crown Princess doesn't seem to be in the mood to have a meal with the palace, take the medicine early and rest early."

After leaving such a sentence, Dongfang Xu lifted his clothes and strode out of Xiyue's sight.

There was no extra concern, Xiyue's expression froze there, Xinlan didn't dare to make a sound when she saw her like this, and could only stand quietly by the side.

"Shen Qing!" Suddenly, Xiyue's cold tone shot at the man in the corner.

Shen Qing immediately stepped out, "Ma'am."

Snapped!
No one expected that Xiyue raised her hand and slapped him hard, and the man's cheeks were immediately red and swollen.

"Who asked you to tell Your Highness about Ben Gong's fainting?!" She screamed hysterically, Shen Qing gritted her teeth, but remained silent.

She grabbed the soft pillow beside her and threw it towards Shen Qing, "Who told you to make your own decisions? Without my order, don't interfere with my affairs in the future!"

Xinlan had never seen Xiyue get so angry, she was too scared to make a sound, she just felt that Shen Qing was very pitiful.

The man never complained, he saluted respectfully with his hot cheeks, "Yes, Crown Princess."

"Get out, get out!"

Shen Qing backed out without saying a word, Xin Lan stood aside, just about to speak, she shut her mouth when she saw Xiyue's crazy expression, and then she seemed to think of something, "Your Majesty, the envoy sent a message today. Here comes the news."

messenger?When Xiyue got nervous, she rolled down from the couch, and Xin Lan who was beside her was so frightened that she hurried forward, "Oh my lady, are you hurt?"

"Quick, take me to the messenger! I..."

Xiyue didn't care about the bumping of her legs at all. After being poisoned by Concubine Mei, she never wanted to suffer a second time. Rather than suffering like this, killing her with a single sword would be more enjoyable.

Three days, she only has three days!
In the deserted woods.

The envoy looked at the extremely embarrassed woman in front of him, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "You were actually scared back? If you let the emperor know, you don't need to take the antidote this time!"

"No, no, Lord Messenger, Concubine Mei poisoned me. I don't even know how she poisoned me. She said that as long as I survive three days later, she is willing to cooperate with the emperor!" Xiyue couldn't help but think of that heavenly face, and at the moment, in her opinion, that was a woman more terrifying than a devil.

The man in black thought for a moment, "You haven't poisoned Prince Chen, so what's the use of the emperor keeping you?"

What did he mean by that, that he didn't want to save her? !
There was a bang in Xiyue's head, her hands trembling uncontrollably, no, she can't just die like this!She didn't allow herself to die like this!
"Messenger, Xiyue is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but for the great cause of the emperor. Concubine Mei just wants to know our strength. If Xiyue's little life gives the emperor an impression that she is not worthy of cooperating with her, That is Xiyue's crime and deserves death!"

The messenger didn't speak, as if he was thinking about the truth in her words.

Xiyue saw hope, "If the envoy can help Xiyue get rid of this poison, it will undoubtedly be a shock to Concubine Mei. She is also a person who is going to do big things, and our strength will make her feel threatened, so she will have to do it." If you don’t cooperate with us, isn’t this what the emperor wants?”

"Well, what you said makes sense."

Xiyue's eyes lit up immediately.

"It's just that, as a member of the Yun family, you can't get rid of the poison, let alone me?"

Although she is from the Yun family, Xiyue knows that perhaps only the empress can cure this poison, but... how could the honorable empress show up in Chen Kingdom just for herself?And it would take several days to get to Yi Country from here, and at that time, he was already a pile of bones.

"I will report this matter to the emperor. You can stay at the prince's side and wait. It is best to complete your mission as soon as possible. Otherwise, even I can't speak well of you in front of the emperor."

After leaving such a sentence, the man in black turned around and disappeared into the night.

His words did not reassure Xiyue, wait?During this period of time, the messenger may change a thousand thoughts!Furthermore, the emperor might give up his pawn at any time.

Xiyue took a deep breath and tried to keep herself rational, now, only she can save herself!
The next day.

In the Queen's Palace, Empress Chen looked at the woman in front of her who seemed to be much deeper. Since the last time, Yun Shu's aura became colder and colder. For some reason, the Empress felt that this young woman was unfathomable. , her resourcefulness does not match her age so much that people can't see through it.

"The emperor asked the prince to handle the affairs of the Weiyuan clan. The prince decided that all properties under the name of the Weiyuan clan will be confiscated, and the fertile land will be returned to the people. In addition, relevant ministers involved in the Weiyuan clan's use of power for profit will be punished accordingly. This time, the court The faction that opposes the crown prince has become much quieter, so it can be seen that the deterrence brought to them by killing the Weiyuan clan is thanks to County Lord Yongji."

"The prince's move is very good. Firstly, it can win the hearts of the people, and secondly, it can make the ministers of the court and the central government to be strict with themselves and correct the atmosphere."

"Lord Yongji, I called you into the palace today to hear your opinion. The prince is not completely out of the predicament now, and the anti-prince faction is ready to move, and may find an opportunity to hurt the prince at any time. The key now is to strengthen the prince's position." Therefore, I want the crown prince to choose a side concubine, and I hope that the county lord will put the overall situation first and bear the humiliation for now. When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, I will definitely fulfill my promise."

The queen was worried that Yunshu would think that she had broken her promise, so she asked Yunshu to choose this side concubine, so that she could know that Yunshu held an important position in the queen's heart, and Yunshu would not have anything to do with it in the future. Complaints, after all, she personally chose the crown prince and side concubine.

Yunshu naturally knew what the queen was thinking, she really didn't care, but she didn't need to say anything.

"Does the county magistrate have the most suitable candidate in mind?"

Yun Shu thought for a moment, "The Marquis of Changqing has close ties with the princes' houses. If we can get their support, the crown prince will have no worries. Besides, the ladies in Marquis of Changqing are all of high quality and heart, and they are a good match for His Highness."

A gratified smile appeared on the Queen's face, "Master Yongji really has won the favor of this palace, and this palace also thinks so!"

She wanted to hear if Yunshu had any better suggestions, but she didn't expect that the two of them had the same idea.

"However, for the crown prince, I hope the county lord can persuade him." What the queen was worried about was that Dongfang Xu would reject such a decision, and the only one who could persuade him was Yun Shu.

Yun Shu slightly lowered her eyelids, if the prince needs such dissuasion from others before he is willing to make a decision for himself, then it will harm him in the long run.

Not to persuade, but to let him really understand the current situation and his responsibility.

Coming out of the queen's palace, Yun Shu noticed a strange look in her eyes.

In the dark, that bright figure hides furtively behind the red pillar, spying on his every move.

Yun Shu straightened her clothes slightly, then walked towards the direction of the red pillar, she didn't want to, and the man didn't dodge either, until she came up to her, Yun Shu saw that pale face.

"See the princess concubine."

She saluted with a slight smile, Xiyue frowned tightly, as if hesitating for something, Yunshu slowly straightened up, "Your servant will leave..."

Just as she was about to leave, a pair of hands suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist tightly.
