Jiang Huai looked at Feng Xuanming fearlessly: "Your Majesty, I just don't understand. As someone who was eliminated from the beginning, how can the Third Prince still question us brothers and sisters here? If we talk about who can better represent the face of Xixia, shouldn't it be the two princes?"
Feng Xuanming glanced at Feng Huailue and Feng Zhaolin and said, "You two should practice more diligently. Your martial arts skills are a little rusty now."
Hearing Feng Xuanming say this, Feng Huailue and Feng Zhaolin hurriedly apologized to Feng Xuanming.
At this time, the palace servant presented the bird's nest soup. Feng Xuanming saw this and handed it to Concubine Li: "Concubine, this bird's nest soup is hot. Drink it while it's hot."
Concubine Li took the bird's nest soup, scooped a spoonful with a spoon, took a bite, and said, "This bird's nest soup tastes especially sweet today."
After Concubine Li had eaten half a bowl of soup in small sips, she suddenly heard a commotion outside. It was the deposed queen who rushed in: "You can't drink it. You can't drink the bird's nest soup..."
Seeing that it was the abandoned queen, Feng Xuanming frowned: "Why did she escape?"
"The deposed queen seems to be crazy, no one can stop her, let's drag her away immediately." The palace servant immediately stepped forward to report, and then wanted to drag the deposed queen away, but the deposed queen kept shouting: "The bird's nest soup is poisonous, it was Concubine Nian who put it in, she wants to kill the imperial concubine..."
"Stop." Feng Xuanming was still cautious when it came to Concubine Li. He looked at the abandoned queen kneeling on the ground indifferently and asked, "How do you know that this bird's nest soup is poisonous?"
The deposed empress knew this was her chance to turn the tables, and quickly replied: "I really missed the emperor, so I ran away from the cold palace secretly. I just wanted to see the emperor, but I didn't expect to see Concubine Nian stopped the maid who brought the bird's nest soup, and even opened the food box to take a look.
I didn't take it seriously at the time, but later on I thought more and more that it was right, and I dared not hide it, so I risked the crime of disrespect and stopped the imperial concubine."
Feng Xuanming did not miss the panic that flashed across Concubine Nian's face. He also remembered that Concubine Nian had just gone to change her clothes, and guessed that what the deposed queen said must be the truth: "Come here, ask the imperial physician to check the bird's nest soup."
At this time, Concubine De stood up and walked to the center: "Your Majesty, Concubine Nian and Concubine Gui had no grudges in the past and no hatred in the present, why would you suddenly want to harm Concubine Nian?"
When the deposed empress heard Concubine De's excuse for Concubine Nian, she had a bad premonition.
Feng Xuanming asked her, "De Fei, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is suspicious. If the deposed queen found out that Concubine Nian poisoned the bird's nest soup, why didn't she stop it before the noble concubine ate it, but instead told her after she had eaten it?"
These words made Feng Xuanming doubt the deposed queen again. Could it be that Concubine Nian was the one who poisoned the imperial concubine first, and the deposed queen wanted to use Concubine Nian to get rid of the imperial concubine while being a good person herself?
If this is the case, the deposed queen's thoughts are too deep.
In other words, Concubine Nian wanted to harm Concubine Gui, and it must have been instigated by the deposed Queen.
Thinking of this possibility, Feng Xuanming looked at the deposed queen with deep impatience in his eyes. Why was she still jumping around?
The imperial physician came very quickly. He first felt Concubine Li's pulse, and then checked the bird's nest soup, but found nothing. "Your Majesty, according to my inspection, there is nothing wrong with the bird's nest soup. It's just that your Majesty's health is not very good."
"What do you mean?" Feng Xuanming asked with a nervous tone.
The imperial physician quickly replied, "Your Majesty's health has never been good, especially after the miscarriage last time, which seriously damaged her vitality. Now it seems that it is difficult to recover."
The imperial physician dared not conceal the physical condition of Concubine Li, otherwise if something happened to Concubine Li in the future, he would lose his head.
Judging from Concubine Li's current condition, she really can't hold on for much longer.
After listening to the imperial physician's words, everyone fell silent. They all looked at Concubine Li, who was sitting next to Feng Xuanming and still had a decent smile on her face. They could hardly believe that her physical condition was so bad.
