Chapter 391: Concubine Jia's Unusual Movement
In the Yangxin Palace, Feng Xuanyi slowly opened his eyes and saw Yi Qingchen who had been guarding the bed. He called out, "Queen."
Yi Qingchen looked at Feng Xuanyi: "Is Your Majesty feeling unwell?"
"I feel pain in my back and I have no strength in my body."
"The imperial physician said that the emperor is suffering from a heart attack due to anger, and needs to rest and recuperate for a while." Yi Qingchen brought the boiled medicine over and fed it to Feng Xuanyi. "Jiapin and Lanpin are waiting for the emperor outside. Should we call them in?"
"Let them in."
After Lanpin and Jiapin came in, they hurriedly greeted each other: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness."
Yi Qingchen looked at the food box that Lanpin brought: "What food did Lanpin prepare?"
"Thinking of the Empress' hard work in taking care of the Emperor, I specially prepared bird's nest soup for her and another one is chestnut stewed chicken soup for the Emperor."
As Lanpin spoke, she took out two servings of soup from the food box.
Yi Qingchen picked up the bird's nest soup and said, "The emperor just drank the medicine, so it's a good opportunity to drink a bowl of bird's nest soup to get rid of the bitterness."
"This bird's nest soup is prepared for the Queen..."
Lanpin was interrupted by Yi Qingchen as she finished her words: "Why, do you mean that the emperor cannot drink your bird's nest soup?"
As he spoke, Yi Qingchen scooped a spoonful of bird's nest soup and fed it into Feng Xuanqi's mouth. Feng Xuanqi had just drunk a bowl of bitter medicine and was feeling uncomfortable, so he swallowed the bird's nest soup.
After just a few sips, Feng Xuan suddenly began to convulse and spit out white foam from his mouth. Everyone was frightened by the scene before them. Yi Qingchen hurriedly shouted, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"
The imperial physician arrived quickly, and after taking the patient's pulse, he immediately checked the bird's nest soup that Concubine Lan had just sent, and found that it was indeed mixed with poison.
"This is a slow-acting poison. If the queen drank it, there would be no immediate reaction. The emperor's body is weak to begin with, and he reacted immediately after drinking it." The imperial physician said as he acupunctured Feng Xuanqi, "Fortunately, the emperor didn't drink much, but now he has to rest longer."
When Feng Xuanqi woke up again, he heard that it was Lanpin who poisoned the bird's nest soup. He was so angry that he gave Lanpin a cup of poisoned wine.
"Queen, I know that Lanxi was your maid before. You pity her, but she wants to kill you this time. I absolutely cannot let her go."
There was no poison in the chicken soup, only the bird's nest soup was poisonous, and this bowl of bird's nest soup was specially prepared by Lan Xi for Yi Qingchen. Her thoughts could not be more obvious.
Yi Qingchen sighed softly, looking at Feng Xuanyi with a look of "heartache" in her eyes: "I am just heartbroken. I sent her to the emperor because of how much she served me. I didn't expect Lanxi to be such a person. It's just that Lanxi prepared that bowl of bird's nest soup for me, but it was the emperor who saved me from disaster."
Feng Xuanyi held Yi Qingchen's hand and said, "I am just glad that I drank that bowl of bird's nest soup."
After just a few words, Feng Xuan's face showed fatigue. Yi Qingchen put his hand back on the quilt and said, "Your Majesty, please take a rest."
"From now on, there is no need to let anyone in unless I summon you." After giving these instructions, Feng Xuanzhen couldn't hold on any longer, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
Yi Qingchen walked out of the Yangxin Palace. Jiapin and Feng Shuyu were waiting outside. When they saw Yi Qingchen, they immediately stepped forward and asked, "Empress, how is the emperor now?"
"The imperial physician has cured the emperor of the poison, but he needs more time to rest." Yi Qingchen glanced at Feng Shuyu, "Jiapin, the harem has been restless recently, so you and the fifth prince should not walk around casually."
