Hua Fushu looked calm and showed no surprise. She seemed to have known about the visitor to the palace for a long time.

She looked at the letter she had just written on the table and instructed Sanqiao, "Qiao'er, take this letter to the Prince of Qin's Mansion later and have our people deliver it to Brother personally."

The three auspicious bodies should be like this.

Hua Fushu stood up, straightened his clothes, and went to the main hall.

Sanqiao did not follow. She had to complete what her lady had asked her to do. After the ink dried, she folded the letter and put it in an envelope, and asked a reliable person to deliver it to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

Hua Fushu arrived at the main hall, only to see Eunuch Luo standing with his hands behind his back, looking solemn. Seeing Hua Fushu, Eunuch Luo quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Madam Hua."

Hua Fushu bowed in return, "Mr. Luo."

Eunuch Luo looked at Hua Fushu and said, "Madam Hua, His Majesty is seriously ill, and the Imperial Hospital is helpless. Please come to the palace."

Hua Fushu replied, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will pack up and then follow you into the palace."

Hua Fushu ordered Lizhi to pack two sets of comfortable clothes, and then went to the pharmacy to get a medicine box, and then followed Luo Nei Shi and his party into the palace.

The carriage slowly headed towards the imperial palace. In the carriage, Eunuch Luo Jianjian explained Zhao Zixu's situation to Hua Fushu.

Hua Fushu had already learned about the current emperor's situation from Ye Zelin, and she also knew that the current emperor would not live long, but when she heard what Luo Nei Shi said, she was suddenly filled with sighs and emotion.

Once an emperor, in his prime, full of vigor and ambition, he should have been in charge of the country and made great plans. However, he was suffering from a serious poison and his life was coming to an end. In order to eliminate the power of the Qinghe King's lineage and choose a new emperor to take the throne, he had been planning for many years.

When they reached Zhuque Street, there was a sudden surge and the carriage braked suddenly. Due to inertia, Hua Fushu and Luo Nei Shi almost fell down.

"Mr. Luo, there is an assassin!" shouted a guard of the imperial guards.

Soon, the sound of sword fighting was heard outside the carriage.

“Whoosh—”

A sharp arrow shot in from the window, whizzed past the eyes of Eunuch Luo, and hit the wall of the carriage. The arrow almost hit Eunuch Luo.

Hua Fushu leaned against the car wall and looked around carefully.

Finally, the sounds of the melee ended.

After hearing the disappearing sound, Eunuch Luo wanted to get out of the car to check, but at this moment, the car door was pushed open.

"Mr. Luo, the assassins have been killed."

The man who was speaking was wearing a mask, was tall, had an uneven scar on his chin, and the weapon in his hand was stained with scarlet blood.

Eunuch Luo glanced at the masked man and his nervous expression relaxed. "Very good."

He turned his head to look at Hua Fushu and asked her, "Madam, are you frightened?"

Hua Fushu shook his head slightly, "No."

Eunuch Luo ordered the masked man, "Let's go."

The masked man replied with a "yes", and soon the carriage started moving again.

Eunuch Luo explained the masked men's origins to Hua Fushu, "Madam Hua, they are the Shadow Guards of the Dragon Shadow Division, the guards under His Majesty. The Dragon Shadow Division was founded by Major General Ye, who was the first commander of the Dragon Shadow Division."

Hua Fushu was slightly surprised. She had never heard Ye Zelin mention the Dragon Shadow Division. If it wasn't for Eunuch Luo mentioning the Dragon Shadow Division, she really wouldn't have known about it.

It was normal for Ye Zelin not to tell her about the Dragon Shadow Division. After all, they were the secret guards around His Majesty. How could he let too many people know about its existence?

Along the way, Eunuch Luo didn't say anything more to Hua Fushu, and Hua Fushu was tactful enough not to ask any more questions.

After entering the palace, Eunuch Luo did not take Hua Fushu directly to see Zhao Zixu, but took Hua Fushu to the side hall of Xiangning Palace.

In the side hall, Imperial Physician Liu and another imperial physician who had previously treated Zhao Zixu were also there.

Doctor Liu is a good doctor, so it's fine for him to stay in Xiangning Palace. However, the other doctor's medical skills are at the bottom of the Imperial Hospital. Zhao Zixu kept him in Xiangning Palace, probably because he had other plans or ideas.

Prince Qin's Mansion, Donglixuan.

Hua Fushu's letter was delivered to Mu Qing by a loyal and reliable person, who also emphasized that the letter must be delivered to the King of Qin.

Mu Qing knew that Miss Fushu had suddenly sent this letter through Mei Zong's channels, and the matters mentioned in the letter must be extremely important.

He hurried to Qin Youran's bedroom, "Your Highness, Miss Fushu has sent you a message. The messenger also said that Miss Fushu has entered the palace."

"Enter the palace? What is she going to do in the palace?" Qin Youran was full of confusion.

Mu Qing handed the letter to Qin Youran, "I don't know. Please read it first."

Qin Youran took the letter and muttered to herself, "Why is this little junior sister coming to the palace when she has nothing better to do than stay at home?" She even had someone deliver a letter. I wonder what she's up to.

However, when he saw the contents of the letter, he was stunned and his jaw almost dropped.

There were only a few words on the letter——

Your Majesty has been poisoned, and Prince Qinghe intends to abdicate. Please be prepared.

If this letter was not indeed sent by Hua Fushu, Qin Youran would definitely think it was a prank and someone was deliberately teasing him.

Junior sister has always been steady in major matters. She would never joke about such a major matter, let alone use such things to tease others.

Qin Youran turned her gaze to Mu Qing and asked, "Did you just say Hua'er entered the palace?"

Mu Qing responded, "That's exactly what the messenger said. He didn't say anything else except that Miss Fushu had entered the palace."

Qin Youran handed the letter to Mu Qing and said, "Take a look."

Mu Qing took the letter and was so shocked by its contents that he was speechless. "Your Highness, this, this..."

"Royal brother...how could His Majesty be poisoned? Uncle Qinghe Prince is a wise and loyal prince, how could he force the emperor to abdicate?" Qin Youran whispered to himself.

Mu Qing analyzed the contents of the letter and said to his Highness, "Your Highness, Miss Fushu asked you to be prepared in the letter. Does this preparation mean that we should keep an eye on Prince Qinghe and prevent him from forcing the emperor to abdicate, or that you should rescue him on the day he does."

Qin Youran didn't respond to Mu Qing's words, but murmured to herself, "Hua'er came to the palace to treat His Majesty?"

"Your Highness." Mu Qing called softly.

Qin Youran came to his senses after hearing the voice.

Mu Qing looked puzzled. He asked, "Your Highness, what exactly does the 'preparation' mentioned in Miss Fushu's letter mean?"

Qin Youran took the letter and reviewed its contents again, feeling confused.

What exactly does "be prepared" mean in Hua Fushu's letter?

Was His Majesty poisoned? Is Uncle Qinghe Prince planning to abdicate?

He had not received any news, so how did his junior sister know?

"You should go to the General's Mansion as soon as possible to find out whether Hua'er has really entered the palace. As for other matters, let's wait and see." Qin Youran made a prompt decision.

Mu Qing took the order and did it immediately.

Not long after, Mu Qing came back with inquiries, "Your Highness, Miss Fushu has indeed entered the palace. Furthermore, someone in the palace just reported that His Majesty was suddenly poisoned during the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. The Empress Dowager is interrogating the palace and has strictly sealed the palace gates, so our people are unable to spread the news for the time being."

Qin Youran replied calmly, "I understand."
