120 Crux
◎He asks for what he wants, but I have no right to accept it◎
Fu Hua was like that again, anxiously saying, "The Imperial Hospital should prescribe some medicine for the Empress to delay the process. If anything happens to the Empress, you'll all be buried with her!"
"Yes, I will do my best!"
Rong Qianyu didn't want to watch, so she simply turned around and faced away from everyone. She couldn't stand Fu Hua and his hypocrisy the most. They had already talked it out, but they still had to put on a show.
I don't know whether Fu Hua really cares about her, or he just wants to show off his kindness by coming to ask about her well-being, which is disgusting.
A group of ministers, people from the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Observatory, palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground, all of them bowed their heads and kowtowed.
"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory must find that ominous person for me!"
"yes."
"The Queen has been poisoned?" Bai Yi asked worriedly, "Have they caught the murderer?"
Fu Hua lowered his head, knowing he had done something wrong. He didn't dare look at her, muttering softly, "It seems the cause is related to the witch doctor who came to the palace to treat patients a while ago."
Bai Yi was extremely displeased upon hearing this. He dismissed everyone and sternly rebuked them, "You doted on that bitch so much, and in the end, she brought harm to others. You should be dragged out and beaten to death!"
The child is grown up now, and scolding her will not help. We should find a way to find and kill Cui Rumei while Fu Hua is still the prince, so that there will not be endless troubles now.
Bai Yi had never looked down on her. When she first met Cui Rumei, she was skinny but had a beautiful face. Just looking at her clear eyes, she knew she wasn't someone who would keep to herself. But at the time, she didn't take it seriously, just treating her as a maidservant kept by Fu Hua.
In the blink of an eye, she has become a palace concubine.
Her family was broken up when she was young, but now, through her own efforts, she has become a member of the royal family.
There was no other way, so he just had to do the ritual. "But there are so many people involved in this matter, including you and me, and even the Queen. How can we investigate this?"
"The Imperial Observatory gave us the information, so we can only check them one by one."
"No matter who it is, it's good to be more careful. This is related to plants and trees, not just the name. It could also be in the eight characters, the five elements, and the direction."
"I understand. I want you to take care of Yan'er for a few days. This is also what the Queen wants. We should send her back when she is well again."
"That's nothing, but Yan'er isn't her biological child after all, and besides..."
Fu Hua interrupted Bai Yi and said, "If she wants to keep her, then keep her. She'll be getting married in a few years anyway, and the palace doesn't need a little food."
As for Yan'er, she was originally supposed to be locked up in the mansion with the princess, but seeing that the child was young and Rong Qianyu liked her, Fu Hua thought of treating her like a kitten or puppy, just to make her happy and gain a good reputation for caring for her siblings.
Bai Yi asked, "How has the service of An Cairen been lately?"
"Yes, you are becoming more and more caring."
"The Queen has always been in poor health. Both Tan and Liu have given birth, and Cui... that's it. You have few children. If Concubine An is happy, she can give birth to a child as soon as possible to continue your lineage."
Fu Hua nodded. In fact, he was not picky about what kind of woman she was. The only thing she had to do was obey his will.
Bai Yi wanted to distract him, so she said, "If you like, I will issue an edict to promote her to a higher position, and then... An Ronghua."
Fu Hua thanked him and summoned An Moru that night. He would gladly accept any beautiful woman she was.
"The Queen Mother has promoted you, and from now on it will be An Ronghua's turn."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
An Moru was wearing a light pink tulle dress, which was very similar to the color of her skin, but she was fair-skinned, so she looked good in anything.
"Who is it that could have harmed the Queen this time?" These words seemed like simple idle talk, but also like a threatening question.
An Moru took off his boots and massaged his legs, "I don't know."
Fu Hua lay on the couch with his legs spread out, letting An Moru knead him as she pleased, "Do you think... could it be Concubine Ke?"
An Moru paused, "Sister Kefei treats me very well, so she shouldn't..."
"But everyone in the palace knows that she is not good to the queen." Fu Hua asked again.
"Sister Kefei's brother has just been dismissed from his post. She must be unhappy."
Fu Hua stiffened his neck, stood up and asked her, "Are you talking to me about state affairs?" His tone was cold and oppressive.
An Moru looked at him for a moment, then immediately stood up and knelt on the ground, "I dare not, I dare not!"
"You're right. Why kneel? Why kneel all the time?"
Fu Hua helped the trembling An Moru to her feet. "I really didted on her too much in the past. I spoiled her without regard for status, and she spoke wildly. As a subject, thunder and rain are all blessings from heaven. Isn't she happy? She has to accept it whether she wants or not."
"What about you?" he asked suddenly, changing the subject.
Fu Hua was a perfect example of acting, looking affectionate just now, but suddenly changing mood. If a woman who truly loved him faced such a sudden change of mood, she would definitely go along with him and coax him with sweet words.
In this way, he was easily caught.
"I will obey your majesty in everything."
"Really?" Fu Hua was delighted. He pulled her close and stroked her face. It was really beautiful. This face resembled both Rong Qianyu and Cui Rumei, and even prettier than both.
He doesn't cry or make a fuss and is a very well-behaved child.
Fu Hua's hand slowly moved down from her cheek to her waist, fiddling with her belt. "Take off your clothes."
An Moru paused, subconsciously tightening her robe, "Your Majesty..."
"You just said you would obey, but now you don't want to?"
"Yes." An Moru loosened her hand, as if she was unpacking an exquisite gift. The laces were untied, and the collar slipped off, revealing a gift as white as jade, warm and pleasant inside.
"Is it voluntary?"
"yes……"
"That's good. I don't want to force anyone to do anything."
He then picked her up and placed her on the dressing table, accidentally knocking over her perfume powder. The room was instantly filled with a fragrant aroma, creating a sensual atmosphere. Fu Hua held An Moru's waist with one hand, supporting the table with the other, and swept past like a torrential downpour.
An Moru's legs became weak from the kiss, and she wrapped her arms around Fu Hua's waist, kissing him back passionately. Their lips and tongues touched, and she couldn't help but whimper.
For many days, An Moru was the only one who slept with Fu Hua, and they enjoyed music and dance every night. It seemed that Fu Hua had long forgotten that there was a queen who was seriously poisoned and was lying in bed.
Recently, Xue Ji went out of the capital on business, and there was no one in the palace to pick him up. Rong Qianyu couldn't sleep well every night. The medicine given by the imperial physician was useful, but it was not an antidote after all. It could only provide slight relief, and she had to sleep until the afternoon.
The gates of Fengyi Palace were tightly closed, as the concubines hadn't paid their respects to the imperial palace for a long time.
"Is the queen awake?"
Rong Qianyu was dizzy from sleep and got up in a daze. "What time is it?"
"It's noon."
"It's been so long, and it seems like I've been sleeping longer and longer."
Rong Pan brought her food and helped her get up. "The Imperial Hospital has been preparing medicine. Your Majesty, don't worry too much."
"My health has been poor to begin with, and Cui Rumei will always be a big worry for me if I don't get rid of her."
Rong Pan: "But it depends on your Majesty's attitude..."
Rong Qianyu couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Remember, you can't count on anyone but him."
"Your Majesty is performing a ritual in Baohua Hall today, praying for the Empress."
"He asked for what he wanted, but I have no right to accept it." Then he asked, "How is Yan'er?"
"She's at the Queen Mother's place, and Yuanqing is with her. Don't worry, Your Majesty."
"Eat something, ma'am."
These days, Rong Qianyu's condition has been getting worse and worse. She vomits after eating, and has to eat again after vomiting. She is also tired and often falls asleep on an empty stomach. When she wakes up, she still has no energy to eat, and she loses a lot of weight during the day.
"This is the nature of the poison. Your Majesty will not be able to bear it without eating. Why don't you reduce the dosage?"
She picked up a piece of cake and ate it without any taste. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing now."
After eating a few bites, he lay down on the bed again, drank a few sips of water, and complained with half-closed eyes: "I am getting more and more tired. I have no strength. It tastes like chewing wax."
"My Queen, My Queen!"
A little palace maid ran in hurriedly from outside the room.
Rong Pan hurriedly stopped her, "What's the matter? Don't offend the queen!"
The little palace maid said, "Your Majesty, the West Palace is being searched!"
