His voice was terribly hoarse.

"Get well soon, you can argue with me, get angry with me, hit me or scold me, it's all fine."

Su Wanwan: "..."

But she's a shrew, constantly arguing and getting angry with him, hitting him and cursing him.

But she simply didn't have the strength to argue back.

"Don't ignore me."

"Wanwan, don't be too cruel to me..."

A hoarse, nasal murmur gently rang in her ear.

Light as a feather.

But it struck her heart like a heavy drumbeat.

That kind of lingering, poignant feeling.

That kind of heart-wrenching pain.

It made her heart tremble and her chest go numb.

After a long while, she hooked her finger and scratched his palm.

He captured the subtle movements.

He carefully lifted her blanket and slipped inside, his arms only loosely embracing her so as not to press down on her, his face gently rubbing against the crook of her neck.

She seemed like a porcelain doll that would break at the slightest touch.

Su Wanwan had mixed feelings.

My neck was wet.

Something's not right about him.

He wasn't the aloof emperor at all, but a clingy, spoiled little boy.

She was the one who was poisoned.

He seems to need more comfort and care.

At this moment, they were like two fish sharing a life at the bottom of a dried-up spring.

They moistened each other with the water droplets they spat out, nourishing each other.

He Ying listened to the faint voices coming from next door and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that Her Majesty is awake.

The imperial physician said that if I rest well after waking up, there will be no problem.

Just now, the Palace Attendant reported that Guli, under orders from Yongshou Palace, secretly drugged Su Wanwan's tea.

In any case, she never expected it to be Guli, this seemingly beautiful, innocent, and enthusiastic girl.

Guli clearly feared and loathed Maji, so how could she possibly be instructed by Maji to poison the Queen?

This is a capital offense!

This magnificent palace is truly fraught with danger, making it impossible to guard against.

You have no idea who has secretly betrayed you and what kind of conspiracy they are planning.

A palace servant reported: "Miss Zhou has been placed in Chuxiu Palace and is out of danger. It is said that she fainted after eating something containing peanuts."

He Ying nodded: "Understood."

Miss Zhou is such a worry; she actually fell ill at this crucial moment.

I don't know if it was intentional, in order to stay in the palace.

...

Empress Dowager Zhang in Cikang Palace had an unpredictable expression.

She hadn't expected Su Wanwan to be so useless.

She was nearly murdered just over a month after becoming empress.

Because the incident occurred in front of numerous noblewomen and officials, the emperor launched a major crackdown within the palace, thoroughly investigating all government departments.

The process of digging up radishes has brought out a lot of mud, implicating many people, both related and unrelated.

This time, the heads of the Twenty-Four Offices will be replaced quite a few times.

Empress Dowager Zhang was alright, but Ma Ji had deliberately made things difficult for her, so some of her staff had already been replaced.

Empress Dowager Wang suffered truly heavy losses this time.

Over the years, Wang Shi has lost almost half of the people she recruited and placed in the inner palace.

Regardless of whether Su Wanwan was in trouble or not, the biggest beneficiary was Emperor Lu Xingjian.

He was no longer satisfied with controlling the previous dynasty; he also wanted to completely control the power in the harem.

That's really domineering.

I just hope that Su Wanwan, that idiot, is lucky and can escape this calamity.

She hasn't even acknowledged her yet, is this move going to be a complete waste?!

A palace servant reported: "Zhou Wanxiu has moved into Chuxiu Palace. She said that eating peanuts caused her to faint, develop a rash all over her body, and have a swollen throat. She almost lost her life."

Empress Dowager Zhang had been listening with a frown, but when she heard "red rashes all over her body, swollen throat" and "her life was in danger," she froze.

It took me a long time to recover.

Back then, her Xiuyi also had a rash all over her body and a swollen throat.

The imperial physician diagnosed it as smallpox, which was incurable.

Why was Zhou Wanxiu able to survive the same symptoms, but her Xiuyi couldn't?

Why? !

Why insist that Yuxiuting brought death to my Xiuyi?!

Empress Dowager Zhang, her whole body trembling with cold, ordered with a livid face: "Prepare the carriage for Chuxiu Palace!"

...

Renshou Palace was brightly lit.

This tense night is destined to be sleepless.

Empress Dowager Wang and Yanruo were still sitting in the main hall, anxiously awaiting the latest news.

Yanruo, being young and doing something harmful for the first time, was still somewhat impatient.

"Grandpa, what if they find out...?"

“Impossible,” Wang interrupted her decisively.

He glanced at Yanruo with a hint of disappointment.

It's no big deal.

So impatient.

This time, two lines, one light and one dark, were laid out.

Guli's line points towards Yongshou Palace.

Maggie cannot escape blame.

The hidden thread activated a chess piece she had kept hidden for years.

It's so that it can be put to use someday.

Both poisons were administered simultaneously.

Even if a celestial being were to come, Su Wanwan would either die or become a cripple.

A hint of sneer flashed in Wang's eyes.

After outlasting so many formidable rivals, she finally achieved her goal of dominating the harem.

Zhou family, Zhou family, the Su Wanwan you painstakingly nurtured, will still end up falling into my hands in the end.

In the end, I still came out on top!

New and old grudges resurfaced in my mind.

During the years that Empress Zhou held power, she was completely suppressed, and even Empress Zhang could not defeat her, making her utterly humiliated.

But so what?

In the end, I was the one who had the last laugh.

Seeing a smile flash across Wang's face, Yanruo asked worriedly, "Those people who are loyal to us..."
