The female guard sent the letter to Han Ying, took two steps back, and waited for orders.
Hanying opened the letter, glanced at it, and frowned.
"Princess, what does the letter say?"
the female guard asked.
"They said they found traces of the third prince, and the emperor asked me to keep an eye on Lord Ye."
Hanying took the letter and pinched it.
The letter in her hand instantly turned to dust and fell to the ground.
"Have someone come into the palace and bring a message to the emperor. Today, Lord Ye and I are going to the imperial mausoleum."
"yes!"
The female guard accepted the order, turned around, and strode out.
At Shen Shi, a carriage left from the Night King's Mansion.
On the carriage, Feng Li and Han Ying were sitting.
The groom was Han Ying's man, and He Zhongnan followed behind on his horse.
At the same time, Feng Jiuer received the queen's summons and entered the palace with Jianyi.
Feng Jiuer didn't want to go out today, but the person who summoned her was the queen, so she went.
What she didn't expect was that when they met again, the queen fell ill in bed.
"The Queen."
Feng Jiuer leaned on the couch and held the queen's hand.
Her long finger landed on the queen's veins.
The queen remained silent and looked at her quietly, her eyes even duller than before.
After a while, Feng Jiuer let go of the queen's hand, stood up, leaned over and lifted the queen's eyes.
"Queen, you are poisoned."
She sat down on the blanket next to the couch again.
Feng Jiuer took the queen's hand and asked softly: "Queen, what on earth is going on?"
The queen shook her head but still said nothing.
Feng Jiuer went over, poured a glass of water, went back, and helped the person on the bed.
"The Queen."
She took out a bottle from her sleeve and poured out a pill.
"This medicine can cure hundreds of poisons. Fortunately, you are not deeply poisoned. Give it a try."
The queen remained silent and opened her mouth to take the pill.
When she looked at the water glass, a hoarse voice sounded: "Is this water poisonous?"
Feng Jiuer lowered her eyes, smelled it, shook her head and said, "It's not poisonous."
The queen then opened her mouth and drank a whole glass of water in one big gulp.
Feng Jiuer was stunned when she saw this situation.
"Empress, they said you didn't eat or drink all day long. Are you worried that someone will poison you again?"
"Um."
The poor woman nodded, "I have been feeling unwell since the night before yesterday."
"Then the imperial doctor came and I drank the medicine, but the situation became worse and worse."
"As you can see, even if I die of illness, the Emperor will not even come to see me."
The queen cried, tears flowing down drop by drop.
"I have three children, but except for the third child, the other two rarely talk to me."
"The eldest brother is taciturn, and the second brother is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. In the past, the two of them cared about my affairs, but in the past two years, they have both changed."
"The eldest brother said nothing, but I know that among the three of them, the eldest son is the one who most hopes to become the crown prince."
"After my second son got seriously ill last year, he became very competitive and came to see me less and less."
"Poor third child, I don't know what he did to offend the emperor, and he was exiled."
"Xiao Feng, everyone says that the third child is colluding with foreign rebels and plotting to usurp the throne. I don't believe it."
The queen held Feng Jiuer's hands and looked at her with tears in her eyes.
"Xiaofeng, the third child is not this kind of person, he is not! Everyone doesn't know him, I understand, he is not this kind of person."
"But the emperor won't believe me. He doesn't believe anyone except himself."
"Xiaofeng, I miss my third child, I miss him."
The queen threw herself into Feng Jiu'er's arms and burst into tears.
Feng Jiuer held this miserable woman in her arms and didn't know how to comfort her.
After she had cried enough and calmed down, Feng Jiuer gently stroked her back.
"Empress, as long as the third prince is still here, you will definitely meet one day."
"But do you want to tell me what's going on with this poison?
Didn't anyone check it out?"
"It's Concubine Ya."
The queen let go of Feng Jiu'er and gently wiped her cheek.
"Xiaofeng, you don't have to worry too much about me, my army has already entered the palace."
"My people have the evidence regarding Concubine Ya's drugging me, and the matter will be handed over to the clan mansion tomorrow."
"When the time comes, I'll see how this woman can get away with it."
Feng Jiuer looked at her and frowned: "Then why doesn't the Queen eat or drink?"
"Didn't you drink just now?"
The queen curled her lips slightly and said, "Go and have someone prepare some food for me. The sooner the better."
Feng Jiuer sighed lightly and stood up.
"The Queen is hiding on purpose, because she wants to kill Concubine Ya without any help?"
The queen stretched out her hand to Feng Jiu'er, who helped her up.
"Despite this, the Queen should not punish herself like this."
"Besides, the Queen is not worried, am I really Concubine Ya's spy?"
"You're not."
The queen shook her head and said, "I have eyes to see."
"oh?"
Feng Jiuer helped her to the mirror, "Then what did the Queen see?"
The Queen sat down and waved her hand: "Go ahead and ask someone to prepare food. I'm almost starving to death!"
"yes."
Feng Jiuer let go of her, leaned over, and turned around to go out.
This lady has been holding back her tears for too long. Do you want to find someone to cry to?
Fortunately, she was still a little distressed just now.
Soon, Feng Jiuer came back, followed by a general.
"Join the Queen."
The general knelt on the ground and said, "I will report something important at the end."
"The Queen."
Feng Jiuer looked at the queen's back and said, "Since you have important matters to discuss, Xiaofeng will stay away first."
"No need."
The queen turned around and looked at the man kneeling on the ground, "General Yao, tell me what you have to say."
"Going back to the Queen, according to the spies' report, the third prince was found in Wutong Town."
The general looked up at the queen and said.
"We have thirty thousand troops stationed outside Wutong Town. Queen, do we want to help the third prince escape?"
Feng Jiuer's heart was beating "thumping" and "thumping", but she controlled it well and her expression did not change.
Unexpectedly, she heard the news at the queen's place.
The news was specially released by them, and the third brother was really in Wutong Town.
This is a plan set up by the third brother to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He hopes to draw Feng Qiongcang's thoughts to Wutong Town so as to give them a chance to escape.
"Has the emperor also received news about the matter?"
the queen asked.
The general handed over his hands and responded: "I think I got the news. I heard that the eldest prince has received the order and is preparing to lead the army to search."
"Queen, your Majesty, your Majesty has made harsh words, saying that you will be seen alive and dead, and we will..." "If the eldest prince hasn't left the palace yet, ask him to come and meet me, and then say that I have been framed.
