Pearl was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Get out!" Consort Zhen screamed, smashing things in the room. "Get out of here, all of you!"
The servants, terrified, fled Zhenpin's palace one after another.
"What's wrong with Consort Zhen? She's always been calm and gentle, so why is she throwing such a tantrum today?"
"Perhaps it's because I've been sick for too long and my mood has been bad."
"Well, who can argue with that? Look at Consort Zhen, when she's in good health, the Emperor will occasionally come to visit her."
"Now he is seriously ill and has not been able to get out of bed, and the Emperor has not come even once."
"He's about to fall out of favor, how can he not be anxious and upset?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. If Consort Zhen hears us, we might get a beating."
Consort Zhen's chest heaved for a while before it finally calmed down completely.
Actually, she wasn't acting the whole time.
Since entering the palace.
She had so many things bottled up inside her.
It's less about acting and more about venting all the unpleasant feelings in one's heart.
For two days in a row, every time Pearl brought her medicine, she either hit her or threw it away.
When I was taking the medication, I felt drowsy and lethargic every day.
At that moment, she actually felt much more energetic.
If Pearl was indeed instructed by someone to tamper with Consort Zhen's medicine.
So, after two days without finishing a single drop of her medicine, someone was bound to get restless.
According to the previous agreement between Consort Zhen and Consort Shu.
The beluga and black whales had been waiting outside Qingfeng Garden late into the night.
At 3:45 AM (丑时三刻).
With the call of a cuckoo.
The two brothers immediately became alert.
As expected.
A dark figure appeared in the distance.
A young eunuch lurked furtively outside the Qingfeng Garden palace wall, looking around suspiciously.
The beluga whale flew down from the tree.
He reacted quickly and covered the eunuch's mouth from behind.
A dagger was thrust directly at his waist: "Tell me, what are you doing sneaking around like this in the middle of the night?"
"Ugh..." The little eunuch trembled with fear: "Who...who are you?"
"We are guards from Consort Shu's palace, ordered by her to protect the safety of Qingfeng Garden. I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise this dagger in my hand has no eyes."
Shu... Consort Shu.
The little eunuch trembled with fear: "Hero, spare my life! I... I was really just passing by."
"Not going to talk?" The white whale pulled the dagger from his waist and pressed it directly against his neck.
Black Whale then searched his body.
Sure enough, there was a packet of white powder hidden in his waistband.
"Tell me... what is this thing?" The black whale's fierce gaze sent chills down his spine.
"This...this is just white sugar," the little eunuch stammered.
"White sugar!?" Black Whale sneered, "Are you laughing at my brother and me for being so naive? If you eat all this white sugar, I'll believe you!"
After the black whale finished speaking, one hand grabbed his cheeks and forcibly pried his mouth open.
No matter how much the little eunuch struggled.
His strength was ultimately no match for that of a martial artist.
"Eat or not?" Black Whale raised his other hand, the packet of white powder almost touching his lips.
Their eyes met.
The little eunuch lasted less than three seconds before quickly giving up.
His back was already soaked with cold sweat.
The sounds emanating from his lips and teeth had long been muffled and unclear by the black whale.
