Concubine Hui treated Jingxi even worse.

"Your brother is suffering in Liufang Palace, how can you enjoy yourself here? Go copy the book! If you don't finish copying this book before dinner, you won't be allowed to eat!"

She can't speak, but she can write.

Jing Xi looked at what she wrote, glanced at her with his ink-black eyes, and then went to the side to copy a book with an expressionless face.

Seeing that he was extremely well-behaved and honest, and never fought back no matter how he was bullied, Concubine Hui became even more angry.

She felt that Jing Xi was not like her son at all. He was not as sweet-talking and sensible as Jing Yan, who could make her happy.

"My Lady, the Dowager Lady is here to see you."

At this time, the palace maid suddenly reported.

What? Toffee is here?

When Concubine Hui heard this, she quickly stood up to greet him.

Soon, Concubine Luo walked in.

"Empress Hui, please rise quickly. I came here today mainly to see you. I heard that you have been in poor health recently, with a sore throat and even difficulty speaking, so I brought a miracle doctor from outside the palace to treat you."

As soon as Concubine Luo saw Concubine Hui, she helped her up and went straight to the point.

When Concubine Hui heard this, she was delighted at first.

But then, she remembered Ling Ge's warnings that if she sought medical treatment, it would cost her and the Second Prince's lives, so she waved her hands repeatedly.

She wanted to write down what she wanted to say and tell Concubine Luo that she didn't want medical treatment.

But before she could pick up the pen, the miracle doctor brought by Concubine Luo stuffed a pill directly into her mouth, lifted her chin, and asked her to swallow it.

"I've checked. Concubine Hui wasn't poisoned. She simply took a pill that temporarily caused a person to lose their voice. The pill I just fed her will relieve this symptom. Concubine Hui, give it a try. You should be able to speak again."

The miracle doctor said.

“Ah—ah ah, I can really talk now!”

Concubine Hui tried it and succeeded in making a sound!

She was very happy.

But soon, still apprehensive, she inquired, "Dear Doctor, are you truly not poisoned? That ugly concubine told me I was poisoned, and if I didn't ask her for the medicine regularly, I'd be dead within three months!"

"Of course it's true. The person Concubine Hui mentioned must have been deliberately deceiving others in order to make Concubine Hui listen to her."

The miracle doctor said with certainty.

"What an ugly concubine! How dare you tease me!"

When Concubine Hui heard this answer, she was so angry that she pounded the table. "Poor Yan'er is still with Concubine Ugly. Your Majesty, the Emperor has always respected you. Can you persuade him to agree to return Yan'er to me?"

She asked Concubine Luo for help.

This is Concubine Luo’s purpose today.

"Of course."

She smiled and agreed, "But to be honest, the emperor's mind is now on little Shuangbao, I'm not sure if little Shuangbao will still listen to me.

“I can give it a try.

"But I have another idea, Concubine Hui might want to give it a try."

When Concubine Hui heard this, she immediately asked:

"What's the solution? I hope the Dowager Queen will be willing to give me some advice. As long as Yan'er can return to my side, when the Queen Mother returns, I will definitely speak well of her in front of her."

She promised.

Naturally, Concubine Luo did not take the benefits she promised her seriously, and even looked down on them.

But on the surface, Concubine Luo still pretended to be happy.

"Actually, this method is very simple. It is to ask Xiao Shuangbao to promise to speak well of you to the emperor." Concubine Luo said.

"This, this is difficult. The Concubine doesn't know that the reason Yan'er was sent to the Ugly Concubine was all the work of this little Shuangbao! She insisted that she had predicted that Yan'er must stay by the Ugly Concubine's side!"

When this was mentioned, Concubine Hui was still gritting her teeth in hatred towards Xiao Shuangbao.

"I know, but I haven't finished yet."

Concubine Luo paused before speaking, "You know that Nanyan Kingdom hostage, Zhong Liyu, right? He and Little Shuangbao have a very close relationship. As long as you can control Zhong Liyu and use him to force Little Shuangbao to agree to this, it won't be difficult."

When Concubine Hui heard this, her eyes lit up.

Although she did not attend the previous palace banquet, someone reported to her everything that happened at the banquet, no matter how big or small.

Therefore, she knew that Zhongli Yu and Xiao Shuangbao had a good relationship.

"Your Highness, what the Concubine Dowager said is absolutely true..."

Concubine Hui immediately thought this plan was feasible, but soon she frowned again, "But I heard that Zhong Liyu has people sent by Xiao Shuangbao to protect him. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take action!"
