Mingyu did not force herself. After giving Yonglian a few words, she held Jinqiu's hand and left. After they walked out, Abi quickly went up and closed the door, and then said to Yonglian: "Second brother,
The master is gone. It's okay. You can cough it out."
Yong Lian shook his head and tried his best to cover his mouth. He waited until Ming Yu had gone far before he let go and coughed loudly. He coughed for a long time before he stopped.
Abi poured him a cup of warm tea, and while stroking his back, she said, "Second brother, is it worth it just for the family dinner tomorrow?"
After Yonglian drank tea and calmed down, he said: "I promised the Queen not to see my aunt privately. As a result, the number of times I have met my aunt is very few, and I don't want to miss any of them again. Moreover,
, My aunt said that she hopes to see me at the family banquet." After saying this, he said with some fear: "Fortunately, I didn't cough up, otherwise I would have been able to hide it."
Yonglian's illness has not recovered at all. His face turned red just now because his throat was itchy and uncomfortable, and he subconsciously wanted to cough. It was not a joke with Mingyu as he said.
And he did so much for only one purpose, that is, he could go to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet with Mingyu tomorrow night and see Xianyue again. He knew very well that if he had not recovered from his illness, Mingyu would never let him attend the family banquet.
, had no choice but to resort to concealment and deception. Apart from himself, only Abi, who was serving as his personal attendant, knew about the whole thing.
Xianyue probably never imagined that Yonglian would go to this extent just to see her more often.
Abis thought about it, but she was still worried and said: "But what if your condition becomes serious?"
"It's okay, it's just a minor illness." Yonglian said nonchalantly, turning around to see Abi still looking worried, he said again: "Stop being like this, at most I promise you, wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner
After that, I told the Queen Mother that I felt a little uncomfortable and asked her to ask Imperial Physician Xu to come into the palace again."
Abi said helplessly: "That's all you can do. Take care of yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, tell the slave in time. Don't force it."
Yonglian smiled and said: "I know, Abi, you are more verbose than Huang's mother."
Abi said angrily: "Second brother knows how to bully slaves. If you continue to behave like this, slaves will not help you hide it from the master. It will be up to you to explain to the master."
Hearing this, Yong Lian said nervously: "Okay, well, I'll just keep it quiet. Don't let the Queen know about this."
An hour after Rong Yuan left Kunning Palace, a figure hiding in the dark left quietly and came all the way to Changchun Palace. Concubine Zhe was talking to Mr. Yugui. When she saw him coming in, she asked with excitement: "How is it? What's going on outside?"
Isn’t there already a commotion?”
This person was Xiao Qizi. He lowered his head and said, "Replying to the master, after Imperial Physician Xu left, I stayed at Kunning Palace for another hour. I didn't see anyone coming in or out, nor did I see Concubine Xian."
Concubine Zhe and Gui Yu were both shocked, and the latter blurted out: "Are you sure you didn't miss it?"
Xiao Qizi said with great certainty: "I have been watching carefully all this time, and indeed there has been no movement."
Yu Guiren said with surprise on his face: "This is strange. According to my speculation, after the queen learned that the second elder brother was not infected with cold, but was drugged, she should have investigated immediately. How could there be any movement?
No, unless..."
Concubine Zhe waited for a long time but didn't see her continue, so she asked, "Unless it's something, you'd better tell me quickly."
"Unless even Dr. Xu can't find out the medicine we gave to the second elder brother." At this point, Yu Guiren sneered and said, "If that's the case, the name of Dr. Xu really doesn't live up to its name."
Concubine Zhe thought for a long time and said, "Is it possible that the Queen already knew about this matter and just deliberately kept it secret?"
"No, the queen is not such a calm person, and based on her current trust in the empress, if she really knew something, she should immediately inform the empress to discuss countermeasures. How come there is no movement at all? So, the only thing
The explanation is that Dr. Xu could not find out the real cause of the second elder brother's illness."
Concubine Zhe said nervously: "What about our plan? Aren't all those things in vain?"
Mr. Yu comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Madam, the plan will not be in vain, it just needs some changes."
Concubine Zhe felt relieved a little, but still urged: "You should tell me how to change it quickly."
Yu Guiren bit her lower lip lightly. After a while, she whispered into Concubine Zhe's ear. After listening to Concubine Zhe, her eyelids jumped and she asked in shock: "Will this method work? Is it too risky?"
What should I do if...the queen becomes suspicious of me?"
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured about this. The Queen is stubborn and will not change easily once she has decided on something. She believes in you so much, how could she be suspicious of you?"
Although Concubine Zhe knew that what Yu Guiren said was reasonable, she still felt uneasy. She got up and walked back and forth in the palace several times, and suddenly stopped in front of Yu Guiren and looked at her carefully.
Yu Guiren was surprised by her, so he stood up and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Concubine Zhe said slowly: "Looking back, since we made this plan, I have been doing all those things, and my sister has never come forward; in the plan that my sister proposed just now, those who do those shameful things are still
It’s me, why is this?”
Yu Guiren's nostrils were slightly open, and he breathed in slowly: "By saying this, is your concubine suspecting that I have bad intentions?"
Concubine Zhe said coldly: "I don't want to doubt it, but the facts are in front of me. You...are using me, pushing me into danger, and you are standing behind me, reaping the benefits.
Liye Te Ruoying, did I say anything wrong?"
Yu Guiren did not show any panic at her words, but said sadly: "I didn't expect that the empress would look at me like this."
Concubine Zhe was not affected by her words and said coldly: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"From the beginning to the end, I have never had the intention of taking advantage of my concubine. Yes, until now, it is true that my concubine is the one who comes forward most of the time. But it is not that I am unwilling to come forward or that I have bad intentions.
, but the concubine is not qualified enough and has no weight to speak in front of the Queen." Seeing that Concubine Zhe did not speak.
, she added: "From the moment I joined forces with you, we have been in a situation where we are both prosperous and both suffer losses. I dare to ask, if I harm you, what good can I gain? Besides, if I am a concubine,
If something happened to you, wouldn't you tell me about my concubine? How will I still be able to reap the benefits?"
