Thinking that she had rubbed red paint on her, when Peirong brought hot water for Hui Meiren to wash her hands, Hui Meiren was shocked to feel a tingling sensation on the back of her hand when the hot water touched it.

The piece of skin that was originally stained with red powder gradually began to show bloodshot.

Fu Qianyu then realized something was wrong and hurriedly ordered someone to call the imperial physician.

Baozan had just lifted the curtain and gone out when Qin Zhaochuan came to the courtyard to check on the Imperial Concubine's pulse. "I'm glad you're here. I was just about to go look for you."

Qin Zhaochuan's face tightened: "What's wrong? The little prince's eczema is getting worse again."

"It's not the Sixth Prince, it's Lady Hui."

As Baozan led Qin Zhaochuan inside, she explained, "I don't know what got stuck on the back of Miss Hui's hand. When it came into contact with water, streaks of blood appeared on her skin, and it stung. It was really scary."

Qin Zhaochuan was shocked, but he didn't dare to delay and quickly carried the medicine box towards the main hall.

At that time, Xiang Yue used a handkerchief to wrap ice cubes to relieve Hui Meiren's pain. When Fu Qianyu saw the imperial physician coming, she raised her hand to waive the formalities and said anxiously, "Go and take a look at what Hui Meiren has been infected with!"

"yes."

Qin Zhaochuan bowed, then turned around and signaled Xiang Yue to take off the handkerchief wrapped around Hui Meiren. When he saw the terrifying bright red bloodstains on her fair skin, a fierce look suddenly appeared on his face.

Seeing the doctor's bad face, Huaying couldn't help but feel worried too. She asked awkwardly, "Doctor, what's wrong with our master?"

Doctor Qin didn't say a word, but took a pill from the medicine box and handed it to Huaying, asking her to serve it to Lady Hui first.

Seeing how serious he was, Fu Qianyu vaguely felt that something was not good, so she waited patiently for Qin Zhaochuan's explanation.

Time passes by little by little.

After taking the pills, Hui Meiren gradually felt that the stinging and burning sensation on her skin had improved a lot, and the bloodstains on the back of her hands also gradually faded. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Doctor Qin, can you tell me now what happened to Lady Hui?"

Qin Zhaochuan bowed and said, "I was not sure at first, but seeing that my lady has improved after taking the antidote pill, I am almost certain that my lady has been poisoned!"

“Poisoned!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room gasped, especially Hui Meiren herself, who was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Lady Hui was not born into a high-class family. Although she had a princess by her side, she had lost her favor long ago after the death of Imperial Noble Consort Anxian. Who would go to such great lengths to harm her?

Fu Qianyu narrowed her eyes and asked coldly, "Do you know what kind of poison you were poisoned by?"

Qin Zhaochuan shook his head. "I can't really say for sure, but judging by the symptoms, it's definitely not an ordinary poison. Your Majesty, please give me some time. I'll definitely look through the medical books carefully when I return."

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."

Then, Fu Qianyu asked Hua Ying, "Before you came to Huayang Palace, do you remember what your master ate or used? Or did you encounter anything strange?"

Huaying frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anything strange.

The hall fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, a faint light flashed in Fu Qianyu's eyes. She asked solemnly, "Have you had any contact with anyone from the Bixiao Palace or the Yanxue Palace during this period?"

Huaying's eyes lit up. "I remember now. Before coming to you, we ran into Concubine Qian in the Imperial Garden. I remember that when our master went down to pay his respects, he tripped over his skirt. It was at that time that Concubine Qian helped him up."

"As expected."

"My lady, what do you mean by this?"

Fu Qianyu looked at Concubine Hui quietly and told her that Concubine Qian stayed in Yanxue Palace for two full hours on the day of her delivery.

Concubine Hui was also puzzled after hearing this, but after a moment's reflection, she understood the twists and turns. She said bitterly, "Now that I help Your Majesty with the affairs of the six palaces, I go in and out of Huayang Palace the most often. I will inevitably come into contact with the children from time to time. In this way, if anything happens to the children, I will be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences."

Qin Zhaochuan took the opportunity to say, "It's common knowledge that the Sixth Prince suffers from eczema, and this poison will expand when it comes into contact with water. I believe Concubine Qian has calculated that the Sixth Prince cannot touch water, and the poison powder will be silently absorbed into his stomach. Even if he touches water, the Sixth Prince cannot speak and can only cry. If the wet nurse is not awakened, she will definitely not take it to heart."

As they analyzed each word, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Fu Qianyu sneered, "They really are quite resourceful."

Concubine Hui frowned and said, "But this Concubine Rou has no grudge against you, so why would she do this? If she's vying for favor, who in the palace can match her? Is it a fight for status? With her background, even the Queen Mother wouldn't agree."

"What if I say she's seeking revenge?"

"revenge?"

Lady Hui was stunned. After a moment of silence, she sighed and said, "Your Majesty, could it be that you already knew this?"

Seeing that Fu Qianyu didn't say anything, Hui Meiren had already guessed that the person in front of her was unwilling to drag her into the vortex, but now others had already taken action against her.

If these two people are not brought to justice, I am afraid that Duan Shu will not be able to be saved in the future...

As she spoke, Concubine Hui knelt before Fu Qianyu and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I know that my influence is insignificant, but the only ones who can help you in the palace right now are me and Concubine Lian. However, Concubine Lian is about to give birth, and you certainly don't want to see her in danger. Your Majesty, if you trust me, I will serve you, if not for anything else, then for our children! This is also the heart of a mother, isn't it?"

The room fell silent. Fu Qianyu's face was filled with emotion. She reached out and helped the man up, saying sternly, "But you have to know that no one knows what the road ahead will be like. After all, Concubine Rou is the apple of the Emperor's eye."

Concubine Hui held Fu Qianyu's hand, her eyes equally determined. "But we have no other way out now, right? Your Majesty, the enemy has already taken action. If we don't take action now, I'm afraid that Lianpin's child will not have a good end in the future."

Having agreed upon this, Fu Qianyu no longer concealed anything and told Hui Meiren everything she had found out before.

Although Hui Meiren's face looked a little ugly after hearing this, she gradually calmed down, and her mind became clearer and clearer that she had to do this.

"So, she is the sister of the commoner Liu, and she entered the palace to avenge Liu."

"Yes, she was the one who caused the death of Imperial Noble Consort Anxian that day. However, because Wang Shi committed suicide under strange circumstances, the Emperor was unwilling to continue investigating, so the matter had to be left unresolved."

When mentioning Imperial Noble Consort Anxian, anger gradually appeared on Hui Meiren's face.

No matter what others say about the Imperial Noble Concubine, in her eyes, without the Imperial Noble Concubine's protection over the years, how could she have given birth to a daughter safely?

The Imperial Noble Consort was like a reborn parent to her.

"I can ignore other people's affairs, but when it comes to the Imperial Concubine, I cannot pretend not to see it. Your Majesty, please tell me what to do next! I will do it even if it means death."
