Yun Xi sat beside Concubine Mei's bed, and the imperial doctor prescribed some tonics to replenish her vitality. Since the emperor was going to ask questions later, and she couldn't act disrespectfully in front of the emperor, she had to drink some medicine to replenish her vitality.

Yun Xi carefully fed Concubine Mei to drink the tonic, and looked at Concubine Mei's weak and inhuman appearance with distress: "Your Majesty... drink more... your Majesty..."

Yun Xi didn't know what to say. The emperor was very angry now. Even if he saw Concubine Mei looking pale like this, he wouldn't feel distressed, would he?

This incident was so big that the entire palace was turned upside down. Fortunately, the emperor ordered the news to be blocked, and the people outside the palace were still celebrating New Year's Eve with joy and laughter.

Concubine Mei lowered her head and drank the bowl of medicine. The medicine was so bitter that she frowned and her expression was almost distorted, but the bitter taste in her mouth was not one ten thousandth of the pain in her heart.

When she thought of the emperor's blaming look before he left, and when he looked at her with disappointment in his eyes, Xia Rongxin felt extremely aggrieved. She had obviously done everything by herself, so why would it lead to such a situation?

"Your Majesty... Where is your Majesty now?" Xia Rongxin's eyes were full of tears, she looked up at Yun Xi and asked bitterly.

"The Emperor is having a meal with the envoys in the Qinzheng Hall at the moment." Yun Xi looked at Concubine Mei with distress, "Are you hungry, Your Majesty? Until now, you have only drank medicine."

Xia Rongxin also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time. She shook her head and said desperately: "How can I still think about eating now..."

Yun Xi didn't know how to comfort Concubine Mei. Even she could guess how angry the emperor was. When the emperor sent someone to invite Concubine Mei to the Qinzheng Hall, he would definitely launch an attack to hold her accountable.

"Ah, by the way, your Majesty, the princess and the princess are waiting outside the palace. Do you want them to come in?" Yun Xi didn't want Concubine Mei to think about these things anymore, so she had to use the princess and the princess outside the door to change the subject.

When Xia Rongxin heard that Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing were waiting outside the door, she sat up and said quickly: "Quick, let them in."

Yun Xi saw that Concubine Mei's attention had indeed been diverted, and she quickly got up to go out to invite Princess Wangshu and Princess Jing.

The imperial doctor waiting in the palace also followed him out.

When Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing saw Yun Xi coming out, they hurriedly greeted her and asked anxiously: "How is it? How is it? Is the concubine okay now? Is she awake?"

Yun Xi was very pleased that they could be so worried about Concubine Mei. She nodded quickly and said, "Princess, Princess, Concubine, please come in."

Qi Wangshu was very anxious. When Aunt Yun Xi said that he could go in, he quickly pushed away everyone and ran in. Liang Huanqing smiled apologetically at Yun Xi and also ran in.

The imperial doctors and maids in the dormitory were all dismissed. As soon as you entered the huge palace, you could hear Concubine Mei's heavy sigh.

Qi Wangshu stood behind the curtain. It was clear that she would be able to see Concubine Mei if she took a few more steps, but she stopped moving forward.

Liang Huanqing followed up and saw Qi Wangshu standing behind the curtain and unwilling to come forward, so he stepped forward and asked softly: "What's the matter? Aren't you going? My mother-in-law is right in front of me."

Qi Wangshu covered her mouth and shook her head, tears falling out. She looked at Liang Huanqing, her eyes filled with tears, and she said: "I dare not... I dare not face my mother-in-law..."

To this day, Qi Wangshu still feels that the cause of all this was the embarrassment of the imperial court in front of ministers and envoys from other countries, the failure of his father to come to power, the fainting of his mother and concubine in public, and the almost death of Liang Huanqing.

Lian's death was all caused by the arrow she released.

If he hadn't succeeded in releasing the arrow, none of these things would have happened.

Afterwards, Qi Wangshu couldn't help regretting and blaming herself. The feathered arrow was in her hand. If she could be more careful and touch the arrowhead to check before releasing it, then none of this would have happened.

Qi Wangshu clearly knew that Lu Huiling did all this and caused all these accidents, but she wanted to take all the bad accidents on herself.

Just now Qi Wangshu caught a glimpse of the pale and weak face of his mother-in-law. It seemed that the mother-in-law who had always had a good look could clearly see a few strands of white hair on her forehead. Hearing his mother-in-law's heavy sigh, Qi Wangshu blamed himself.

I couldn't help but feel that I no longer had any face to see my mother and concubine.

Liang Huanqing hugged Qi Wangshu distressedly, patted her back, and comforted her softly: "My dear, none of this is your fault. If you want to blame it, you have to blame the person who set us up behind the scenes. Don't you know

Who is that person? Why do you still blame yourself?"

Qi Wangshu cried and shook her head. She could never get over this hurdle in her heart: "If it weren't for me...if it was...if I could be more careful...none of this would have happened..."

"My silly princess...who could have thought that this would happen? We are just ordinary people and have no ability to predict. We will only know after it happens. All we can do now is try our best to save it..." Liang Huanqing touched

He touched Qi Wangshu's head and warned seriously, "When you get in front of the mother and concubine later, you must not say such words again to make the mother and concubine sad, do you hear me?"

Qi Wangshu was panicked at this time. Seeing that Liang Huanqing had given her an idea, she naturally nodded in agreement. She wiped her tears and said, "Okay."

Xia Rongxin sat on the bed, feeling a tightness in her chest, and couldn't help but gasp for air. Suddenly she heard some noises, but no one was there, so she asked aloud: "Are they Wangshu and Huanqing?"

Liang Huanqing listened and whispered to Qi Wangshu: "When you get to the mother and concubine later, you must not mention that Lu Huiling did it. The mother and concubine will go to see the father later, and Lu Huiling will definitely be there...

At that time... we take it one step at a time, and we must not let the mother and concubine know about it, otherwise the evidence that brother Zhao Zhao and the others have collected so hard will not be enough to give them a fatal blow."

Liang Huanqing will not let Lu Huiling go no matter what this time. As long as there is a chance, she will seize this handle and pull Lu Huiling off the stage!

Qi Wangshu nodded, with some crystal tears still in the corners of his eyes: "Don't worry, I will do it."

Liang Huanqing nodded and pulled Qi Wangshu towards Concubine Mei.

When Xia Rongxin saw them coming, she quickly stretched out her hand to hold them. The two of them stepped forward to hold her hands and called softly: "Concubine..."

Xia Rongxin couldn't help but shed tears when she saw this. When she knew that Liang Huanqing almost died during this feast, she almost fainted again.

Anyone can imagine what a blow it would have to the Celestial Empire if Liang Huanqing died. Liang Fengmian loved her daughter as much as she wanted, and the two most important men in Liang Huanqing's life were both at war. If she died, she would still die as a princess.

Under the arrows, if word spread, it would probably chill the hearts of many soldiers.

Those rumors don't care about the facts. If it turns out that the princess deliberately shot Princess Jing, what should we do?

Xia Rongxin was terrified when she thought of this, but fortunately, Liang Huanqing was standing right in front of her, and she could reach out and touch her.

"My son, my mother and concubine are so worried..." Xia Rongxin touched Liang Huanqing's face and said distressedly, "My mother and concubine are scared to death..."

This sentence is not false. If Liang Huanqing really died, I'm afraid the emperor would also blame him. After all, this was a feast she personally organized. If anything happened, she would still have to bear the responsibility.

Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu looked at each other, then looked at the mother and concubine, and said with tenderness: "The mother and concubine is the one who wants me to be frightened..."

Xia Rongxin shook her head, tears kept falling down. She didn't understand why the feast that should have been celebrated by the whole world and gathered together was now like this.

Qi Wangshu was also crying non-stop. The self-blame in her heart had eroded her entire heart.

Although Liang Huanqing was sad and sad, looking at them like this, she felt that she should cheer up.

Although he already knew from Aunt Yunxi that it was Guizhi who instigated it, Liang Huanqing still wanted to ask his mother and concubine personally, to hear her opinion, and to know what her mother and concubine would say before the imperial chariot.

"Mother concubine...what is going on with this feast? Why did a real three-pronged arrow appear in Wangshu's quiver?" Liang Huanqing frowned and asked with a worried look on his face.

Qi Wangshu also stopped crying. Seeing Liang Huanqing knowingly asking questions, he could probably guess what she wanted to do, so he followed her and looked up at his mother-in-law.

Xia Rongxin also shook her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and recalled: "I only remember that the Ministry of Internal Affairs inspected the feather arrows many times, and even Yun Xi personally inspected them once. There is absolutely no problem with those arrows.

of."

At this time, Xia Rongxin also looked confused. She had no idea why such a strict banquet would make a fatal mistake. Moreover, such an obvious mistake would definitely not happen in this banquet she personally organized.

Who would personally destroy the thing they are most suspicious of? If something went wrong at the feast, the first person people would think of would be Concubine Mei.

"Why would the mother-in-law think of such a dangerous involvement system? It is easy for people to take advantage of the loopholes..." Qi Wangshu also followed the words and let the mother-in-law's thoughts turn to Zhi Guiren. In this way, later,

When the son is in front of the father, the mother and concubine will not be so confused as to attribute all the mistakes to themselves.

Moreover, they also wanted to see how Guiren Zhi should escape from danger. Would she really commit this crime of killing the Nine Clan for Lu Huiling? No, it was for her family.

After hearing this, Xia Rongxin fell into deep thought. She recalled why she chose to participate in this project. She only remembered that Yun Xi mentioned it. She couldn't think of a better way at the time, so she could only give the order...

Later, Lady Zhe accidentally came to Yichun Hall and heard about her New Year's Eve feast, so she said a few words...
