Since that night, Concubine Xi would go to the greenhouse every three to five days to pick fresh chrysanthemums and send them to the Purple Palace.

At the beginning, Zhao Yuancheng would take a few sips.

But no matter how delicious something is, you can't eat it every day. After eating it many times, all the chrysanthemum soup went into Zhu Yu's stomach.

That night, Concubine Wan came out of the Fahua Hall.

As soon as I walked onto the long street, I saw someone walking stealthily towards the greenhouse.

Songluo was sharp-eyed and immediately realized who that person was. "Master, it seems to be Yun'er and Yuzhui, the girls beside Consort Liu."

"People from Qiulan Palace?" Concubine Wan narrowed her eyes. "Why are they going to the greenhouse so late at night? And so sneaky?"

"How about we go over and take a look?" Songluo asked tentatively.

Wan Jieyu thought about it and decided to follow him.

Aunt Cai, the deputy head of the flower house, saw Yun'er coming and hurriedly went to greet her, her face full of flattery. "Oh, isn't this Miss Yun? You've come so late, but what instructions does the Concubine Zhaoyi have?"

Yun'er smiled leisurely, "The weather has been dry these past few days, and the Emperor is a little irritated. The Empress specifically asked me to come pick some chrysanthemums to make tea. I know that Aunt is busy during the day, so I dare not disturb her."

Aunt Cai smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so polite. How dare we servants accept your honor?"

Seeing this, Yuzhui hurriedly handed over a bag of silver from her sleeve, and with a smile, she stuffed it into Aunt Cai's hand and whispered, "Aunt, I heard that the flower room has recently cultivated green chrysanthemums?"

Aunt Cai accepted the silver and smiled knowingly, "Young lady, please follow me."

Yuzhu nodded to Yun'er, then followed Aunt Cai towards the back room.

When she came out again, she had a tray in her hand. Inside the glass cups were all the finest green chrysanthemum petals. Yun'er took a look and smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you very much, Auntie."

Then, pointing to several pots of Phoenix Fluttering Feathers not far away, he said, "Empress Consort Yi is unwell, and these flowers are blooming happily. Send a couple of pots over later, so that Consort Yi will be happy."

Aunt Cai smiled and said, "Young lady, you are really kind-hearted."

"It's getting late, so we won't disturb you. Please stay, auntie."

"Take care, ladies."

Seeing Yun'er and Yuzhu coming out, Wan Jieyu quickly turned around and hid in the shadows. She waited until the two were far away before she slowly walked out.

Both the master and the servant saw Yun'er's every move clearly, but because they were far away, Wan Jieyu could not see clearly what Yun'er put on the two pots of flowers.

Songluo looked nervous. She turned her head to look at Wan Jieyu, but saw a faint smile on Wan Jieyu's red lips, as if she had some idea.

"Let's go back to the palace."

The next morning, after paying respects to the Queen, he left Fengqi Palace and saw people from the flower room carrying pots of chrysanthemums to various palaces, and the two pots of Fenghuang Zhenyu were indeed sent to Huayang Palace.

Concubine Wan narrowed her eyes and followed him to Huayang Palace.

Over here, Haining was checking the flowers sent in from the greenhouse. He looked up and saw Concubine Wan walk in. "This servant pays his respects to Concubine Wan."

Wan Jieyu smiled politely and raised her hand to indicate that she was excused from the formalities. "I heard that my sister was not feeling well, so I came to see her. Please let her know for me, father-in-law."

"Please wait a moment, my lord. I will be there immediately."

Haining turned and left. Not long after, he came out again, lifting the curtain and politely invited Concubine Wan in.

The door curtain embroidered with red plum blossoms was lifted, and the fragrance of peach blossoms wafted into the air. However, if you sniffed carefully, you could still smell the medicinal scent hidden beneath the floral fragrance.

"This concubine pays her respects to Sister Yi."

"You're welcome, sister. Please sit down." Fu Qianyu was half leaning on the couch. Her face looked a little pale, but fortunately she was in good spirits.

Wan Jieyu was helped to sit down. After Baozhan brought the tea, she asked, "Are you feeling better, sister?"

Fu Qianyu smiled slightly and said kindly, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I am feeling much better now."

"That's good." Concubine Wan took a sip of tea and continued, "A few days ago, my father sent a very fine wild ginseng. My sister is weak, so it would be perfect for nourishing her body. Wait a minute, I'll have it delivered."

"Wild ginseng is extremely rare. I'm sure Lord Ming must have put a lot of effort into finding it. How can I accept your things? You should keep them for yourself."

Wan Jieyu smiled gently, "I felt a warm feeling the moment I saw you. If this wild ginseng can really cure your illness, then it will be a great use of its power."

As the two were talking, they saw Xiang Yue directing two young palace maids to bring in Juhua.

Seeing this, Concubine Wan smiled calmly, "This Phoenix Zhenyu is indeed one of the ten famous chrysanthemums. It's only September and it's blooming so beautifully. The Emperor is indeed thinking about you."

Fu Qianyu had no interest in the chrysanthemums and only told Xiang Yue to place the flowers on a flower stand not far away. On the contrary, Wan Jieyu seemed to like them very much and actually walked over.

She reached out and stroked the petals, looking as if she couldn't let go. Fu Qianyu was just about to say that if she liked the flowers, she could take them home and admire them slowly.

But before she could say anything, she saw Wan Jieyu's face change and she said in surprise, "How strange! Why is the color of the pollen so much darker than the petals?"

Lingyun was also stunned when she heard it. After meeting Fu Qianyu's eyes, she immediately walked over. After a closer look, it was just as Wan Jieyu said.

Songluo also came over and said seriously, "I remember that chrysanthemum pollen doesn't scatter too much onto the petals, but in this pot, a lot of it has even been scattered onto the outer petals. It's really strange."

Wan Jieyu knew the reason, but she still said deliberately: "Sister, to be on the safe side, let's ask the imperial physician to take a look."

As they were speaking, someone outside announced the arrival of the emperor.

Everyone rushed forward to greet the emperor. Zhao Yuancheng helped Fu Qianyu up and saw Concubine Wan was also there. He smiled and said, "Why are you here too?"

Wan Jieyu's eyes were heavy. "I heard that my sister was not feeling well, so I came to see her. But right now, there is one thing I need to ask the emperor for help."

"What's wrong?"

Wan Jieyu pointed at the chrysanthemums in front of her and said, "Your Majesty, these chrysanthemums were just delivered by the greenhouse, but the pollen on them looks really strange to me. To be on the safe side, could Your Majesty please ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

Zhao Yuancheng knew that Fu Qianyu was in a special condition at the moment, and his eyes turned cold. Seeing this, Zhu Yu immediately turned around and headed towards the Imperial Hospital.

Fu Qianyu didn't say a word from beginning to end, but just looked at Wan Jieyu quietly.

Not long after, Zhu Yu and Doctor Xun came in together.

Zhao Yuancheng didn't waste any words. He pointed with his big hand and said coldly, "Go and take a look at the chrysanthemum. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Doctor Xun did not dare to delay. After paying his respects, he turned and walked towards the pot of chrysanthemums. He pulled apart the petals and examined them carefully. Sure enough, he found something that should not be there.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed some dirt sprinkled on the petals of this chrysanthemum."

Zhao Yuancheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold: "What is it?"

"Pollen from the stone lady flower."
