Mingyue was about to persuade her, but Sheng Xiyan said coldly, "Aunt, if you stop me, I won't want you to serve me anymore."

Mingyue quickly lowered her head: "I dare not, but I am afraid that the emperor will be angry."

When they arrived at Guanju Palace, Zi Ling, Shan Hu and Xiao Zhuozi ran out excitedly to greet them.

Sheng Xiyan looked at the familiar palace, and a warm feeling came over her heart:

"This is my home. I will not be returning to the Yangxin Palace."

Zi Ling smiled and said, "It's good that your Majesty is back. We have all missed you."

Sheng Xiyan nodded, walked into the hall, and looking at the familiar furnishings, the depression in her heart eased a little.

She sat on the couch and said softly, "I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."

At the same time, in Jingren Palace, Empress Duan was leaning on a phoenix chair, playing with a jade ruyi in her hand.

Qingdai came in hurriedly and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician just checked the eldest prince's pulse, and the result was ambiguous.

According to palace regulations, the eldest prince must be moved outside the palace for treatment."

Empress Duan chuckled: "It's a pity that the imperial concubine didn't go, otherwise she and Yu Mo would have left the palace together."

Qingdai sighed:

"No one could have imagined that the Emperor would suddenly appear to stop it. The fake epidemic medicine was so effective that even the imperial physician couldn't tell if the symptoms were real or not. It was a sure thing.

Just now, the Imperial Concubine returned to Guanju Palace in a rage. Your Majesty, do you think we should mix fake epidemic medicine into the pregnancy-preserving diet?"

Empress Duan was cautious and said thoughtfully, "Yu Mo has just been in trouble. Let's wait and see if the Emperor notices anything."

"Your Majesty is right."

Queen Duan gently stroked the golden armor,

"Kindness is the last thing a harem should have, but the Imperial Concubine loves to show off.

She has turned a deaf ear to the emperor's concern, and sooner or later he will make her suffer.

Go tell Rong Guiyi..."

Qingdai nodded in understanding and turned to leave.

In Liuyun Palace, Rong Guiyi hugged Yu Mo and cried bitterly.

Qingdai came in wearing a mask and said softly:

"Miss Rong, the Empress is concerned about the eldest prince and asked this servant to bring some nourishing food.

In one hour, the eldest prince will be able to leave the palace."

Rong Guiyi knelt hurriedly: "Qingdai, tell the Queen that I want to go out of the palace with Yu Mo to take care of him!"

Qingdai pretended to hesitate, and finally nodded:

"Don't worry, Miss Rong. The Empress is considerate of your feelings as a mother and has specifically instructed me to agree to your request."

Rong Guiyi kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Queen!"

“Also, the Empress originally thought that if she went to ask the Emperor for help, perhaps the eldest prince wouldn’t have to leave the palace.

I didn't expect that the Imperial Concubine's actions had angered the Emperor, which is why this happened."

Hearing this, Rong Guiyi dug her nails deep into her palms, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes: "Noble Concubine Chen, it's all her fault!"

Qing Dai sneered: "Don't worry, Miss Rong, you can take the eldest prince out of the palace first, and the queen will think of bringing you back."

Rong Guiyi kowtowed again:

"Please tell the Queen that Yu Mo and I will be her people from now on and will be loyal to her."

Qingdai nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave.

At night, Xuan Ling returned to the Yangxin Palace after finishing his official duties, only to hear the palace servant report:

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has returned to Guanju Palace. She told Your Majesty not to worry about her and that she can take care of herself."

Xuan Ling gently stroked his temple wearily and whispered, "Go to Guanju Palace."

When they arrived at the gate of Guanju Palace, they found it closed.

Eunuch Fu asked, "Your Majesty, do you need the guards to break down the door?"

Xuan Ling said angrily, "She doesn't want to see me. Go back to Yangxin Palace."

The next morning, Xuan Ling got up and told Eunuch Fu:

"Tell Marquis Wu'an to go to the imperial kitchen after the morning court session to make some sweet soup for the imperial concubine."

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine lost her composure yesterday because she was concerned about the Crown Prince."

Xuan Ling said calmly, "I know she has good intentions, but in the face of this epidemic, she has been willful."

"Mrs. Rong has brought the eldest prince to the palace, along with two imperial physicians. Your Majesty, please don't worry too much."

After noon, the prefect came to report: "Your Majesty, there has been progress in the case of stealing the prescription."

Xuan Ling nodded: "Go and fetch the imperial concubine. Use the imperial sedan chair to bring her here, and tell the sedan bearers to carry her carefully along the way."

After a stick of incense, Sheng Xiyan slowly stepped into the Yangxin Palace.

Xuan Ling glanced at her, a gentle look in his eyes, "Bring a soft chair for the imperial concubine."

Sheng Xiyan nodded slightly, sat down gracefully, and her eyes fell on the prescription presented by Lord Zhang.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, over twenty people have submitted their recommendations for the plague in recent days. These are the prescriptions they submitted."

Sheng Xiyan flipped through the pages, her eyes filled with concentration and solemnity.

Half an hour later, he finally pulled out a prescription:

"Your Majesty, the nine herbs in this prescription are exactly the same as those in the medical record I wrote before.

However, this prescription is only a prescription for treating asthma and plague symptoms, and is not a good way to cure the plague."

Xuan Ling's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he sneered:

"How dare this idiot come to claim the reward so brazenly?"

Before he finished speaking, Master Zhang's words startled the two of them at the same time:

"This prescription...was presented by Concubine Jia's younger brother."

Xuan Ling's face instantly turned sinister, and he slammed the teacup in his hand down on the table, causing silence in the hall.

"What a daredevil! He set fire to the medicine and stole the prescription, nearly killing the imperial concubine and the heir.

"Issue an order to immediately go to the Earl's Mansion to arrest Su Yu, throw him into the Sky Prison, and behead him at the Meridian Gate at 3:30 PM tomorrow!"

Lord Zhang took the order and left, and the hall became quiet.

Sheng Xiyan took out two prescriptions from her sleeve and handed them to Xuan Ling:

"Your Majesty, this is the cholera treatment prescription I've come up with after a month of repeated experiments. Please review it."
