Chapter 638: Poisoning

Luo had never told anyone about these things, and the Queen had never mentioned them at all.

But Luo guessed that Concubine Hui, oh no, the current Queen Qiao should know about this.

Mrs. Qiao would go to vent her anger on the late queen, and she would also come to her to avenge what happened to Mrs. Qiao.

If at this moment, she was still as beloved by the King of Qi as before, Luo would have nothing to fear.

After all, the Prince of Qi is the emperor's younger brother, and the emperor has to turn a blind eye to many things. Even though Qiao is the queen now, the emperor probably won't act rashly.

But now, it is difficult for her to even meet the King of Qi, which makes her even less qualified than Xiao Qiao in the past.

After all, when Xiao Qiao had something to say to King Qi, she even broke into the palace at night.

Given her current situation, it would be extremely easy for the Queen and the Crown Prince to deal with her and Chu Jinzhuo.

No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to regain the favor of the King of Qi no matter what.

Otherwise, there would be no place for her and Chu Jinzhuo to stand in the future.

Luo frowned and looked at the maid Bi Tao beside her, "Where is the prince now?"

"Replying to Princess, the prince, he, he..." Bi Tao hesitated for a long time before uttering a sentence, "He is walking in the garden with Concubine Hang."

Ever since Hang Xueyun had a miscarriage, the King of Qi, in order to compensate Hang Xueyun, took her into the palace as a concubine after she had her period.

From then on, whenever the King of Qi returned home, nine out of ten times he would stay with her.

Even though Luo claimed that she was pregnant at the time, the King of Qi just came over to take a look, said something like "take good care of yourself", and then stopped accompanying her.

Even though Luo imitated Hang Xueyun and pretended to have a miscarriage, and even pushed all the blame onto Hang Xueyun, the King of Qi was biased and said that it was Luo's own carelessness and had nothing to do with Hang Xueyun.

Luo was so angry that his teeth were itching.

When she heard that the King of Qi was at Hang Xueyun's place, she subconsciously clenched her fists. Her long nails pierced into her palms, leaving deep crescent marks.

"I heard that Concubine Hang has been feeling unwell these days. Tell the kitchen to prepare some medicinal food to nourish Concubine Hang." Luo gave the order, gritting her teeth as she spoke.

She naturally didn't want to care about the health of that bitch Hang Xueyun, and even thought it would be best if she died of illness.

But now she couldn't even see the King of Qi. Only when she showed care and concern to Hang Xueyun, would the King of Qi think she was well-behaved and sensible and come to her yard to take a look.

Although it seemed like a routine matter, Luo knew that as long as people were human, they would have feelings for each other when they met. It didn't matter whether the King of Qi had her in his heart or not. As long as they met more often, based on their years of affection as husband and wife, the King of Qi would have some reservations.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Bi Tao hurriedly ordered the small kitchen to do it.

Black chicken stewed with astragalus and red dates, and lamb stewed with donkey-hide gelatin, the two dishes were quickly delivered to the table in front of Hang Xueyun.

Bi Tao said even more obediently, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hang, these are two medicinal dishes that the princess specially instructed the small kitchen to prepare, saying that they are to nourish Concubine Hang's body."

"The princess is concerned about Concubine Hang's health, and hopes that if she recovers soon, she can give the prince a child sooner, and it will also bring more happiness to our palace."

"The ingredients for these two medicinal dishes were all selected by the princess herself. Even the donkey-hide gelatin used in the stewed mutton was given to her by the palace when she attended a banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The princess thought it was a good thing and was reluctant to use it, so she specially brought it to nourish Concubine Hang."

"The princess also said that when preparing the food for Concubine Hang, we must be careful and attentive. When stewing the soup, we must use the fire neither too high nor too low. We must not waste these good things, nor can we make the soup taste bad. Therefore, the princess specially stayed in the small kitchen for a long time and watched the fire herself."

The King of Qi nodded slightly, "The princess is quite sensible."

"Your Highness is right," said Bi Tao. "The princess also often said that a harmonious family is the root of everything. Your Highness is already toiling day and night, so it would be inappropriate for him to worry about trivial matters in the mansion. Your Highness should take care of the whole household, and the wives and concubines should live in harmony and serve Your Highness together."

"Yes." The King of Qi nodded again to show his approval.

Seeing this, Bitao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Hang Xueyun smiled as she listened to Bitao's words and the King of Qi's response, and blinked her eyes.

"The princess has shown great concern for me, and I should go and thank her. However, I am still ill, and I am afraid that I will pass my illness on to her. After I recover, I will definitely visit her and express my gratitude. I would like to trouble Miss Bitao to express my gratitude to her on my behalf."

"Concubine Hang is too polite. The princess said that taking care of the people in the mansion is her duty and there is really no need to thank her. But when you recover from your illness and have time, you can come to visit the princess. The princess has got some fashionable fabrics and is planning to make winter clothes for her." Bi Tao said with a smile.

"Then I will supply it as you command. I will definitely bother the princess when the time comes." Hang Xueyun agreed with a smile.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Bi Tao did not plan to stay any longer and said with a smile, "Then I will not disturb the prince and the concubine from having dinner. I will take my leave first."

"The cooking skills of the princess's kitchen are always good. You should try it." The King of Qi picked up a piece of black-bone chicken with chopsticks and put it into Hang Xueyun's bowl.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Your Highness has been tired these days, and mutton is nourishing. Your Highness should have a piece too." Hang Xueyun smiled and picked up a piece of mutton, blew off the hot steam on it, and did not put it in the King of Qi's bowl, but handed it to the King of Qi's mouth.

With the chopsticks in his bare hands and the beautiful woman in front of him, the King of Qi felt warm in his heart. He opened his mouth and swallowed the piece of mutton. After chewing it, he nodded in appreciation, "It tastes really good."

"If Your Majesty likes it, I will ask someone to stew it for You in the future." Hang Xueyun smiled as she ate the black chicken pieces in her bowl.

The two of them were having dinner in such a loving manner.

When the last spoonful of yuba fish soup in the bowl was swallowed, Hang Xueyun's face suddenly changed, and she even covered her abdomen, "Your Majesty, my stomach hurts so much..."

The King of Qi wanted to grab the fair hand that Hang Xueyun extended to him, but before he could hold it, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

Moreover, this pain comes quickly and strongly, unlike the stomachache you usually get when you eat something wrong.

Rather, it seems...

"Someone come, someone has poisoned us!" King Qi shouted with his last bit of strength, but he could no longer hold on and fainted in front of the table together with Hang Xueyun.

"Your Majesty!"

"Concubine Hang!"

The room suddenly became chaotic.

When Luo rushed over after hearing the news, she was also shocked to see the situation. She hurriedly ordered someone to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician to treat Prince Qi and Hang Xueyun.

The highly respected and elderly imperial physician with a white beard frowned after taking the patient's pulse.
