Chapter 353 The Deadline Is Approaching
"My Lady, you knew it all along, didn't you?" Feng Xuanming's voice was filled with an unnoticeable sadness. "So during this period of time, you never let the imperial physician take your pulse, just to keep this a secret."
Concubine Li smiled. She accepted her physical condition faster than anyone else. "Your Majesty, I can't hold on for much longer with my broken body. I just hope Your Majesty won't worry about me anymore, so I didn't tell you anything. I didn't expect this to happen today."
"Imperial Concubine..." Feng Xuanming shouted.
Concubine Li sighed and looked at the deposed queen: "Are you satisfied now? There is no poison in this bird's nest soup. Did you make such a fuss just to let everyone know my physical condition?"
Seeing this, Concubine Nian quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please help me. I have never done anything, but the deposed queen has framed me. It is really shocking that she is trying to stir up trouble in the harem even though she is in the cold palace."
Concubine De also pleaded: "Your Majesty, I personally supervised the plum blossom viewing banquet today. Naturally, I was extremely careful with the food I ate, especially the food that Concubine Noble prepared. I was even more cautious and would not make any mistakes."
The deposed queen glared at Concubine De: "Concubine De, you betrayed me."
De Fei looked at the deposed empress in disbelief: "You are so heartless to say that. Everyone in the harem can see how I treated you in the past. Since you were sent to the cold palace, I have not treated you too harshly because of our past friendship. How can you frame us like this just to get yourself back on track?
And the Imperial Concubine had a miscarriage before her birth, wasn't it because of you? Did you take advantage of the Imperial Concubine's poor health and deliberately cause her to have a miscarriage?"
The relationship between the deposed empress and Concubine Li was not only a well-known matter, but also because the Concubine's miscarriage last time was related to the deposed empress, it was inevitable that people would think too much.
Feng Xuanming angrily threw the half bowl of bird's nest porridge away, and the bowl broke into pieces. It was the first time that everyone saw Feng Xuanming so angry.
"Sun Yuqin, I have always tolerated you because of your family's meritorious service to the emperor. I never thought that you could still do things in the harem after being sent to the cold palace. I cannot keep you here. Come, take the deposed queen away and give her poisoned wine!"
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. They are the ones who want to harm me. I am loyal to you and have no second thoughts..."
She was dragged away despite the deposed queen's wails.
After watching this scene, everyone looked confused. What was going on?
"Just now the deposed queen put on a show herself. Don't worry about it. There will be an ice show next. Please continue to watch it. The imperial concubine is not feeling well. I will accompany her back to rest first."
After saying that, Feng Xuanming didn't care about anyone else and took the imperial concubine back first.
Concubine Nian stared closely at the backs of Feng Xuanming and the Imperial Concubine as they left. She kept telling herself that if she could hold it in a little longer, the Imperial Concubine wouldn't have much time left to live!
But Concubine Nian was still wondering where the bowl of poisonous bird's nest soup had gone.
Concubine De came to Concubine Nian and asked her, "Concubine Nian, I have some top-grade plum blossom tea here. Would you like to get some?"
Concubine Nian knew that it was impossible for Concubine De to simply invite her to drink tea. It seemed that the bowl of poisonous bird's nest soup might have been replaced by Concubine De.
Thinking of this, Concubine Nian responded: "Since Concubine De has invited me, I naturally cannot refuse."
