"I have something more important to tell you! I don't think something is right!"

"Something's wrong? What's wrong?" Chu Younan suddenly became nervous. "Oh, oh, are you worried that you'll have multiple babies like Jinrong? How about this, I'll bring Prince Zunyi into the palace, just in case you feel a little uncomfortable..."

"No, no, no, it's not that. It's Jiang Liu. He came to see me just now and said some weird things..." Su Bei repeated what Jiang Liu said.

The joy on Chu Younan's face gradually faded, and his expression became solemn. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Tang Jiang, tell Jiang Liu to come to the palace! I allow him to go to the national treasury and pick out a treasure!"

Tang Jiang came out in response.

Chu Younan said nothing, but just held Su Bei's hand and calmed down from his sudden joy. Only then did he realize that Su Xiujie seemed to be a little abnormal.

But he didn't want to make Su Bei more worried, so he chose not to say anything.

Not long after, Tang Jiang returned, looking ashamed, and said, "Your Majesty, the people at the Zunyi Palace said that Divine Doctor Jiang went up the mountain to collect herbs and is not in the palace. He said he will be back in three days."

“Go again and tell King Zun Yi about this!” Chu Younan’s eyes were gloomy.

Tang Jiang said angrily, "When I went there just now, I asked by the way, and he said that Prince Zunyi left in a hurry as soon as he returned to the palace, saying that he was going to find Divine Doctor Jiang to collect herbs together."

There is something fishy about this! Chu Younan's eyes were filled with rage, but he tried his best to suppress it and just waved his hand lightly.

That night, Chu Younan went to the imperial study, but did not review the memorials. Instead, he told Tang Jiang not to be disturbed by anyone. Then he changed into night clothes, went out through the back window, quietly left the palace, and went to the Zunyi Palace.

I just said there was something fishy about this matter, and it turned out to be true.

Chu Younan listened outside Duan Zhanfang's window for a while and found a man's voice inside, but the two people were whispering and he couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.

If he couldn't read minds, he would probably have misunderstood that Duan Zhanfang was having an affair.

The man in the room was Su Xiujie. He was afraid that he would let something slip, so he deliberately let someone say that he went to find Jiang Liu.

At this moment, what he was discussing with Duan Zhanfang was about "You only have three days left."

Chu Younan listened silently, then turned and left.

This matter can only be handled this way, and Su Xiujie cannot be blamed.

On the second day, Su Bei, who had originally had no reaction, suddenly began to vomit, and vomited very violently, so that she temporarily had no time to think about "You only have three days left."

Chu Younan summoned all the imperial doctors, but they were all at a loss as morning sickness had no solution since ancient times.

On the third day, Su Bei was so dizzy that he couldn't get up and slept for most of the day.

Chu Younan made an exception and did not attend the morning court. He stayed by her side the whole time, his eyes filled with unrelieved heartache.

The three children seemed to know that Su Bei was unwell. When they came in to visit, they were all very quiet. Even the little boy did not ask his mother to hug him.

At night, everything was quiet and Su Bei still didn't wake up.

The entire palace was in solemn silence until the death knell rang.

When the death knell sounded, Su Xiujie trembled, but then he breathed a sigh of relief, "My master should be satisfied this time..."

"It's a pity that the Queen has suffered these past two days..." Duan Zhanfang also looked far away in the direction of the imperial palace.

"There's no way. The poison made by the master can be cured by no one except him. It would be futile even if I intervene. If I anger the master, it would only backfire..." Su Xiujie sighed.

The news of the Queen's death spread throughout the capital, some people were worried, some were happy.

Some women from noble families are already ready to make a move. The emperor wants the queen to have no concubines, and the queen's position cannot be shaken. This way, I'm afraid many people will have a chance...

Unfortunately, they were still disappointed. After Chu Younan ordered the whole country to mourn for a year, he himself entered the Huguo Temple. All state affairs were discussed by his confidants and he did not see outsiders at all.

The news spread quickly. Gu Rui brought Cai Qin Meizhi back to Beijing, Ruan Tianyao also returned to Beijing with Chi Yu, and Yun Xi, who was far away in Xian Country, came from afar with Xian Ren.

But no one saw Chu Younan, let alone Su Bei's body. Instead, Ruan Tianyao and Qin Meizhi met unexpectedly.

Ruan Tianyao had always thought that the dream she had with Qin Meizhi was just a dream. She was frightened when she first saw her, "Mei... Meizhi's sister?"

Qin Meizhi knelt down and said, "Qin Meizhi deceived the Queen Mother, please punish me!"

Ruan Tianyao stepped forward and held her hand. The warm and soft hand made her feel at ease immediately. Looking at Gu Rui standing beside her, she understood everything.

Qin Meizhi also looked at Chi Yu. Some things don't need to be said. When you love someone deeply, your eyes are full of love.

Similar circumstances brought the two closer together. In the cold palace, Qin Meizhi and Ruan Tianyao stayed together and talked about their respective situations during this period.

"Gu Rui treats me very well. He doesn't mind at all that I'm a married woman. He treats me like his own daughter..."

"Then you are satisfied..." Ruan Tianyao said this, but her eyes were full of smiles, "Chi Yu is like a child who has not grown up. I have to take care of him all the time."

"When I saw him looking at my sister, his eyes were full of light. With such a friendship, it's not a bad idea to take care of her. Even though Gu Rui always takes care of me, he also controls me. By the way, it's hot, let the servants make some iced sour plum soup. He doesn't even let me touch ice at home!"

"Someone! Go get some iced sour plum soup! And send some to Xiao Chizi as well!"

This time when he returned to the palace, Chi Yu still disguised himself as a young eunuch. Ruan Tianyao and he were so affectionate that they didn't want to be separated for a moment...

The cold palace seemed to have warmed up a little.

In the solemn Huguo Temple, Chu Younan looked at Jiang Liu with cold eyes.

"Did you bring the antidote?" he asked coldly.

"I have brought it, but I don't know how much reward the emperor will give for this antidote?" Jiang Liu said with a grin.

Reward?! Chu Younan really wanted to reward him with a three-foot white silk and a bowl of poisoned wine! But Su Bei's life was in Jiang Liu's hands, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Jiang Liu chuckled and took out a few pieces of paper and placed them on the table. "This is two hundred thousand taels of gold notes. I told her about it beforehand. When I do business, I always clearly mark the price and never cheat anyone!"

After saying that, he took out another pill and placed it on the table.

Chu Younan didn't even look at the gold bills and hurriedly took the pills into the inner room.

Su Bei’s “corpse” stopped here, but the body was not dead yet and was no different from being asleep except that it was not breathing.

He quickly stuffed the antidote into her mouth, fearing that she would not be able to swallow it, and covered her lips to help her.

Jiang Liu followed in tactlessly and watched from the side, laughing secretly as he watched.

Chu Younan really wanted to kill him. If Su Bei couldn't wake up, he would rather die with this old man! "Alright, alright! I told you, old man, don't lie to anyone. If she faked her death, it's fake death. Look, she opened her eyes!"
