Chen Jingxi threw the broadsword back to Xiong Da, "Shu Fei poisoned Su Wang Fei and she is dying."

Hearing this, Xiong Da opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't close it for a long time: "Ah!"

Chen Jingxi waved her hand gently, her expression calm: "Go and ask Dr. Sun to come to me."

Xiong Da was stunned for a while, then he reacted and hurriedly turned around to find the imperial physician.

Now that he had boarded the pirate ship of Princess Su, he naturally had to obey her orders. Princess Su said she was poisoned, so she was definitely poisoned. She said someone wanted to harm her, even if it wasn't that person, she had to make it out to be that person.

The palace was silent and the night was so dark that even the wind seemed to have held its breath.

But in Yongfu Palace, the scene was quite different.

After making love, the emperor embraced the charming and beautiful Concubine Qin with satisfaction and said gently, "Rong'er, I am so lucky to have you by my side."

Concubine Qin smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I am truly blessed to be able to be by your side."

She nestled in the emperor's arms like a sated cat, her charming and lazy appearance making the emperor's heart flutter. With a turn, the emperor pressed Concubine Qin under him again.

The two of them tossed and turned until midnight. Concubine Qin's almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed, and she looked extremely tired but was trying hard not to fall asleep.

The emperor was very satisfied with her appearance. He hugged Concubine Qin tightly and whispered softly in her ear: "Rong'er, you are still the same as before, a natural beauty."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Qin blushed and replied shyly, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, you are even better than before."

The emperor felt even more proud after hearing this. The medicine that Doctor Sun sent him suddenly flashed through his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Then, he asked in a coaxing tone, "Rong'er, how did you know what was going on in the Queen's Palace?"

Without a second thought, Concubine Qin blurted out, "It was Concubine De who sent someone to tell me. I didn't know if it was true or not, so I thought if it was true, telling the Emperor might help prevent the Empress from making a mistake. I didn't expect it to be too late."

"Defei?" The emperor's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this answer. He glanced down at Concubine Qin, his eyes devoid of any lingering affection. He then rose from the bed, grabbed a piece of clothing from the side, and stepped outside the palace.

Concubine Qin looked at the emperor's departing figure with a sneer on her face. She pulled up the quilt, wrapped herself tightly in it, rolled over, and fell asleep, not caring at all about the emperor's departure.

"Go, send someone to keep an eye on Concubine De. I want to know her every move."

"Yes." A man in black responded from the darkness and quickly disappeared into the night.

The emperor returned to bed, but instead of hugging Concubine Qin as before, he had just closed his eyes when he heard the anxious voice of a eunuch outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"
