Chapter 159 The Five Powers of Imperial Concubine* (5)
, the sound of stringed instruments in the hall suddenly stopped.
Suddenly, a burst of cheerful laughter broke the silence.
Xiao Dingyuan tilted his head slightly, raised the wine glass, and raised it towards Xiao Guixi in the air, with a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother, your concubine is very drunk."
"Sixth Prince, I am allergic to alcohol and cannot drink even a sip. I have stayed away from any alcohol since I was a child. How could I get drunk?"
Wen Man stood up on her own, a smile on her lips, as if she was mocking the Sixth Prince's ignorance.
"Today is Lantern Festival, why bother about getting drunk?"
Xiao Guixi raised his hand.
Some ministers knew it well, and it seemed that His Majesty had not given up on the General's Mansion.
But Wen Man refused to give up. She said to him, "Since Your Majesty won't send anyone, I am willing to go and invite Sister Song myself."
Seeing her turn and leave, Xiao Guixi pinched his brows irritably: "Stop!"
Didn't she understand his hint?
There is no rush to deal with Song Yuesheng.
He calmed down and regarded Wen Man's unusual behavior as the result of the two of them not being together for too long.
That's it.
He was the one who felt guilty towards Wen Man first.
Xiao Guixi glanced at the eunuch chief beside him and said, "Wu Yong, go and invite Song Yuesheng. If she refuses, bring her here directly."
Xiao Dingyuan clicked his tongue.
Cousin, I can’t help you.
Manager Wu knelt down with a plop.
"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Song she...she..."
Xiao Guixi frowned: "She hesitates, what's wrong with her?"
"Song Guifei's personal maid Qiao Xin came to the imperial study around Youchu. She said that Song Guifei was poisoned and was dying and unconscious. She wanted Your Majesty to ask Imperial Physician Zhang to treat her. But Your Majesty was in a bad mood at the time, so this servant..."
"what?!"
When Xiao Guixi heard the news that Song Yuesheng was poisoned, his face suddenly changed and the wine glass in his hand almost slipped to the ground.
He stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.
The harm will last for thousands of years.
What kind of poison could she be poisoned by?
Wen Man stood aside, biting her lower lip tightly, with hatred rising in her heart.
It’s Song Yuesheng again.
Such a long time has passed since evening, why is there still no news of Song Yuesheng's death!
Who put the poison there? It's so ineffective!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Manager Wu immediately kowtowed and admitted his mistake.
The emperor never makes mistakes. He just hopes that Your Majesty can give him a painless death.
"The maids in Song Yuesheng's palace must have sought out the imperial physician. Imperial Physician Zhang is the director of the Imperial Hospital. It would be a waste of his talent to treat her. However, since she has been poisoned and is unconscious, the order I issued earlier will be waived."
Xiao Guixi's tone was light, as if the thundering anger just now was just a passing cloud.
He turned his head and looked at Wen Man with a smile: "The musicians in the palace have a lot of new ideas. They are much better than Song Yuesheng who knows nothing."
"Everything is up to your majesty."
Wen Man answered with a complicated expression, but her heart was in turmoil.
His nervousness was not fake, and his current relaxation was also genuine.
Does Xiao Guixi think that the poison in Song Yuesheng is not fatal?
why?
She took advantage of Xiao Guixi's inattention and turned back to give a few instructions to the palace maid Chunmei.
This palace maid was promoted by her personally after she arrived at Ronghua Palace. Apart from Taoxiang, the person Wen Man trusted the most was Chunmei.
She wouldn't feel at ease unless she heard it with her own ears.
At the same time, in Jiangxue Palace.
"Doctor Liu, how is the queen?"
Qiao Xin asked impatiently.
Doctor Liu sighed, shook his head and said, "The pulse of Concubine Song is too strange, I can't find it. Ladies, there are only a handful of doctors with superb medical skills in the Imperial Hospital, but unfortunately Doctor Zhang went home in the evening because of family matters. Why did you ask Doctor Li?"
"Doctor Li..."
Qiao Xin touched Qiao Yue's arm and raised her voice to interrupt her.
"Okay, please ask Imperial Doctor Liu to keep the Madam's condition a secret. Qiao Yue, go and see Imperial Doctor Liu off."
Although Qiao Yue was a little confused, she still nodded obediently.
Qiao Xin patted her forehead, a trace of worry flashing across her brows.
Doctor Liu was the sixth doctor that could be invited, and without exception, he said that he could not diagnose what kind of poison the Empress had.
Doctor Li...
He fainted inexplicably in the Empress' bedroom. In order to protect the Empress' reputation, she had to drag him quietly to a remote woodshed.
He should be awake by now.
Qiao Xin gently tucked the quilt around Song Yuesheng to ensure that she would not be disturbed by the slightest bit of cold.
Then she quietly walked out of the bedroom.
"Sparrow Spirit, what time is it?"
"According to the current world's calculations, it should be 9:10 pm."
Song Yuesheng got up from the bed leisurely.
The palace banquet usually lasts for an hour, and there are only fifty minutes left.
Qiao Yue and Qiao Xin were worried about her and had been busy for several hours. It was time for them to relax.
When the door was opened, the palace servants outside the bedroom were dismissed.
Qiao Yue was holding a thick hemp rope and Qiao Xin was holding a pair of scissors.
The two of them whispered to each other, as if they were plotting something.
Song Yuesheng tiptoed behind the two men and patted their shoulders in turn.
"Who are you planning to kidnap?"
"Miss!"
"You're awake!"
The two asked a lot of questions before they were sure that Song Yuesheng was really safe. Song Yuesheng also knew that the two of them planned to go to the woodshed to release Li Shaoqin and threaten him to diagnose her.
They held scissors and hemp rope because they were worried that Li Shaoqin would resist.
Song Yuesheng ordered two people: "Release Li Shaoqin, and then personally escort him out through the back door. He came to Jiangxue Palace early in the morning. If he leaves through the main gate now, such a long gap in time will easily lead to suspicion and frame-up."
"Tell him that he only stayed in Jiangxue Palace for a quarter of an hour. If he lets it slip, next time he won't faint so easily."
The two young palace maids suddenly woke up as if from a dream. It turned out that Doctor Li was knocked unconscious by the Empress.
So the Queen pretended to be poisoned in order to avoid playing music in public?
"Still not going?"
The two men nodded quickly and turned quickly to go to the woodshed.
"Sister Yue, if you rush to the banquet now, you can still make it. The forum says that the host only slaps others in front of a large crowd! With your ability, Sister Yue, you will definitely embarrass the heroine and weaken the wild aura."
Blue Sparrow suggested cautiously.
It’s not that it doesn’t trust Sister Yue, but it doesn’t want to give up such a good opportunity.
Instead of playing dead, Sister Yue might as well take the initiative, shine at the party, and slap the heroine hard.
"No one can see you, Sparrow Spirit. If you want to go, go by yourself."
Song Yuesheng held his shoulders and slowly moved his arms.
As if thinking of something, Song Yuesheng suddenly said: "By the way, Qiaoxin, you this afternoon..."
There was no one in sight.
"If you disobey the imperial order, your entire clan will be executed. Song Yuesheng, you pretended to be sick and disobeyed the imperial order, and you dragged the entire general's mansion into the dirty water."
At the same time, a teasing voice suddenly came from behind.
Song Yuesheng ignored the man.
"Hey, hey, hey, Song Yuesheng, are you angry?"
Ye Heyou took two steps at a time and came to Song Yuesheng. He scratched his hair, feeling a little at a loss.
"I was just joking, you...you're not really angry, are you?"
Ye Heyou tried to ease the sudden embarrassment with a relaxed tone, but his words still revealed a bit of uneasiness.
His eyes were fixed on Song Yuesheng's face, hoping to catch a sign of relief from her expression.
Song Yuesheng raised his eyes to look at him: "Why did you go to the General's Mansion on New Year's Eve? If the General's Mansion is related to the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion, it will only make the emperor suspicious and eliminate them one by one."
Ye Heyou's eyes suddenly widened, and there was an indescribable anger in his voice.
"So you let another man meet your parents? Deliver a letter?"
