Chapter 725 Girl, You're Too Late

Fearing that Song Yanxi wouldn't understand her hidden meaning, Xianglan continued, "My queen said that the imperial concubine's illness was indeed a bit strange, and I'm sorry, Princess, please take care of her.

Tomorrow morning, the Queen will request an audience with His Majesty and report everything that happened tonight."

Song Yanxi nodded, "Please tell her that Yanxi thanks the Queen for her kindness."

Xianglan smiled lightly, "My princess, you are too kind."

After saying this, she bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

Watching her figure gradually disappear into the night, Song Yanxi slowly sat down with the help of the table, her cold eyes full of worry.

The princess had been spoiled since she was a child. She had never suffered a single bump on her body, let alone seen a corpse with her own eyes.

Tonight, I must be scared.

Although she was ten years older than Jiaojiao, she was still a little girl who had not grown up. It was possible that she was frightened by the situation and burst into tears on the spot.

An Yi asked in a deep voice, "Miss, do you need someone to go with you?"

Song Yanxi shook her head lightly and said, "No need. The Queen loves Princess Roujia the most. If the princess really has something to do, she will definitely not be able to spare the time."

She was able to go to Yunshu Palace to appease Concubine Li, so the situation seemed to be nothing serious.

The Queen Mother specifically asked Xianglan to come over because she was afraid that she would make a mistake in a hurry and give someone a handle to hold her accountable.

She should appreciate her kindness.

As for Concubine Yu, just as the Empress said, she is indeed seriously ill.

All the imperial doctors in Yuyao Palace tonight can testify for her on this point.

Looking at the dim candlelight on the table, Song Yanxi instructed An Yidao beside her, "Commander An, go back and accompany Jiaojiao. If she wakes up and sees no one by her side, she will definitely cry.

My Lady Concubine, I am enough on my own."

Afraid that An Yi would pass on the news silently, she specifically warned: "It's late at night, don't disturb the prince."

Even though His Majesty gave him a badge that allowed him to enter and leave the inner palace freely, he was already an adult after all, and appearing in Yunshu Palace at this time would definitely give people a reason to gossip.

Some words no longer mean the same thing as they are passed on.

Seeing An Yi didn't move, Song Yanxi couldn't help but frown, "Commander An, are you feeling embarrassed?"

An Yi said with some difficulty: "Miss, you are too late."

Song Yanxi: “…”

Stupid, how could she forget about An San!

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in blaming anyone.

Song Yanxi could only hope that Mo Jinchuan could sober up a little and not do anything that was inappropriate for a subject.

For example, something as stupid as visiting a concubine's bedroom at night.

*

"Are you crazy?" Looking at the dark figure climbing in through the window, Song Yanxi spoke while suppressing her anger.

Entering a concubine's bedroom without being summoned is a capital offense.

As a prince in the court, breaking the law knowingly is adding insult to injury.

He is not afraid of being reported to the Censorate at the morning court tomorrow!

Mo Jinchuan brushed off the dust on his robe and said calmly, "Xi'er, don't panic. Father knows why I came here."

After hearing this, Song Yanxi felt that he was completely crazy.

This is the bedroom of his father's concubines. How dare he tell the truth to His Majesty?

No matter how good a temper one has, he or she will not tolerate such a rebellious son who behaves in such absurd ways.

Not to mention, His Majesty's temper has nothing to do with the word good.

He was not afraid that such a commotion would cause harm to others.

After thinking it over, Song Yanxi still felt that this matter was inappropriate, and whispered: "While there is no one around, Your Highness, please leave quickly."

She turned to open the door, but felt that walking out would be too conspicuous, so her eyes returned to the window.

Although climbing out the window is not very decent, it is still a good idea.

With the prince's skills, it shouldn't be a problem for him to slip away while the royal guards are changing shifts.

Having made up her mind, Song Yanxi hurried over and opened the window, urging: "Your Highness, please hurry up, or someone will find out."

By then, he won’t be able to explain himself even if he has a mouth all over his body.

Seeing Mo Jinchuan standing still and smiling at her, Song Yanxi became even more anxious.

She lowered her voice and said, "If someone saw the prince appear in the imperial concubine's bedroom in the middle of the night, who knows what rumors would spread.

Even if the prince is a man of integrity, he still needs to know that people's words can be detrimental."

Mo Jinchuan nodded, with a faint smile in his eyes, and said: "Xier, what you said makes a lot of sense."

If you think what she said makes sense, why don’t you do it right away?

Knowing that he took the risk to come here out of concern for her, Song Yanxi patiently advised, "It will be dawn in two hours. Your Highness can come again then. I also have something I need your help with."

Mo Jinchuan: "Xiao Er, just speak frankly, no need to be polite with me."

Song Yanxi frowned and almost laughed out loud because of his words.

She frowned and asked, "I said so much, and Your Highness only heard those two words?"

I had taken his pulse before, but couldn't find any ear disease.

Seeing the annoyance in her eyes, Mo Jinchuan was afraid that he had really angered her, so he explained with a smile: "My father wanted to come in person, but he said he was very tired, so he asked me to come and see what was going on for him."

Song Yanxi glanced out the window and asked coldly, "Is that what Your Majesty asked the prince to ask?"

Mo Jinchuan coughed lightly, "It's really inappropriate for me to appear in Concubine Yu's bedroom in the middle of the night.

Even with the emperor's order, it's still hard to avoid being criticized."

Come here openly and honestly, for fear of being criticized.

Aren't you afraid of being so sneaky?

Song Yanxi was deeply skeptical of what he said.

As if he guessed that she wouldn't believe him, Mo Jinchuan said frankly, "Eunuch De also knows that my father sent me here."

Thinking of Dehai, Song Yanxi frowned and asked, "Besides asking the prince to come here, does His Majesty have any other instructions?"

Mo Jinchuan: “No.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two people instantly became subtle.

His Majesty asked the prince to go to Yuyao Palace at this time, but he did not give any instructions. It seemed that he was not eager to know the truth about Concubine Yu's nightmare.

No, it’s not so much the panic caused by nightmares as it is the hallucinations caused by drugs.

Mo Jinchuan's face suddenly darkened, "Drug?"

Song Yanxi nodded and explained, "As soon as I entered Yuyao Palace, I smelled a faint sweet fragrance, which made me feel dizzy if I sniffed it carefully.

But the fragrance was too faint, and I was busy treating Concubine Yu, so I couldn't find where it came from."

But there was one thing she was sure of.

Concubine Yu suddenly lost consciousness and mistook Doctor Qi for an old friend, which must have been related to this sweet fragrance.

Mo Jinchuan had some doubts about this.

He frowned and asked, "Xi'er, if the fragrance is causing the problem, are there any other palace servants in Yuyao Palace who are sick?"

This is exactly what Song Yanxi found strange.

Not to mention the people serving outside the palace, besides Lian Qiao, there were four maids and five palace maids accompanying Concubine Yu.

Concubine Yu had a bad temper and never showed any concern for the people under her. Even when she was sleeping, there would be at least five or six people guarding her.

If it was really the fragrance, she shouldn't be the only one experiencing the symptoms.

Unless, this fragrance is only for Concubine Yu.

Thinking of something, Song Yanxi looked at Mo Jinchuan with burning eyes and said, "Your Highness, you have arrived at the perfect time."
