Thinking of this, Zhu Yulan felt bitter.

"Okay... Sister, you can live wherever you like."

She was "gentle and virtuous", so such a simple request would naturally not fail Zhu Xianyue.

Unexpectedly, the bitch Zhu Xianyue ran away and met the emperor.

Her figure... must be able to fascinate men.

Zhu Yulan thought, no, she can’t wait any longer, she must kill Zhu Xianyue now.

…

You need to take a bath before sleeping with the emperor.

Zhu Xianyue had just changed her clothes when a palace maid came over with food.

"Noble Lady Yue, this is the candied water chestnuts given to you by Noble Lady Lan."

This palace maid is the senior palace maid beside Zhu Yulan and also her confidante.

After it was delivered, he insisted on watching Zhu Xianyue eat it before he would leave.

"Your Excellency, please accept the grace of the Imperial Concubine as soon as possible." He forced her to eat.

Zhu Xianyue was not angry and ate it all with a smile.

And then...no response.

The palace maid was surprised.

"Why, aren't you leaving yet?"

"...I will withdraw now."

The palace maid hurried to find Zhu Yulan and told her that Zhu Xianyue had eaten the poisonous candied water chestnuts but was unharmed.

"Impossible! I poisoned her myself. How could it not kill her?"

Zhu Yulan didn't believe it, so she took a piece of the leftover candied water chestnut and ate it.

"Your Majesty..." The palace maid was dumbfounded again. She didn't expect Zhu Yulan to be so stubborn.

Zhu Xianyue couldn't be killed by poison, so she also wanted to compete to prove that she couldn't be killed by poison either.

The result was obvious. Zhu Yulan fell to the ground, twitching, and soon fainted.

"Imperial Physician...Call the Imperial Physician!" the palace maid called out loudly.

…

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

It has been a long time since I met such a lovely girl, and Jiang Heyu is still looking forward to tonight.

But the eunuch who came with Zhu Yulan's report came.

"Your Majesty, our queen accidentally took the heart-breaking grass, and now her life is in danger. Please go and take a look!"

Jiang Heyu nodded.

There was chaos in Fengluan Palace, and the imperial doctors knelt on the ground, helpless.

"This Heartbreak Grass is extremely poisonous. No one in our dynasty can cure it, and the Imperial Concubine has taken an excessive dose... Please forgive my incompetence!"

The head of the Imperial Medical Service spoke.

"Since there is no other way, let's prepare for the funeral." Jiang Heyu clenched his fists slightly.

After all, Zhu Yulan was a woman who had served him. She had not committed any major mistakes after entering the palace. She was also the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wuding. However, she died at such a young age, which is truly a pity.

This matter must be thoroughly investigated.

Just when everyone gave up, Zhu Xianyue stood up.

"Your Majesty, I may be able to save the Imperial Concubine. Please allow me to try my best."

Hey, Zhu Yulan, you can't die so easily. I want you to live and enjoy the pain.

"Oh? Lady Yue knows medicine?"

"I know a thing or two."

"Forgive me for being frank, but I have been practicing medicine for fifty years and I still have no way to deal with the poison of the heartbreak grass. As a woman of your age, Noble Yue should stay away from bad things and take good care of yourself!" The head of the hospital said it in a tactful way, but in fact he was blaming Zhu Xianyue for showing off.

What can you do as a little girl?

But looking at Zhu Xianyue's determined eyes, Jiang Heyu felt a little moved for some reason.

"Noble Lady Yue is Noble Concubine Lan's eldest sister, so I don't think she would harm her. Yue'er, you can give it a try without worry. If you fail to save the Noble Concubine, I won't blame you." Jiang Heyu said.

Everyone understood that Jiang Heyu was just giving Zhu Xianyue a chance to show her abilities. In fact, even he, the emperor, did not believe that Zhu Xianyue could cure Zhu Yulan.
