Sheng Yunrong was completely unaware of the unknown conspiracy. It was her unintentional reminder that saved the Western Wei Kingdom from an unprecedented crisis.
This not only rekindled the Empress' deep love for the Emperor, but also after an in-depth investigation, she uncovered the actions of her personal maid Liu Yuan and finally discovered the cause of her long-term infertility, and then welcomed her first and only child with the Emperor.
However, at this moment, the Queen Mother has just revealed a shocking secret in the harem: Concubine Liu's spies are hidden in the palaces of the concubines.
All these spies were cleverly arranged by her trusted maid Liu Yuan.
What is even more shocking is that they even have the power over the life and death of these concubines.
Their food, clothing, and even their daily toiletries all contain traces of poison, which can either disfigure them or make them infertile.
And in this harem, the only place that remains pure is the cold palace that is ignored by everyone.
The Queen Mother understood all of this. She suppressed her emotions and sat quietly in the chair, waiting for Liu Yuan to bring her parents.
Terror and fear intertwined in her heart, and she was so nervous that beads of sweat oozed out of her palms.
Concubine Liu did not come from a prominent family, but she was able to arrange such a sophisticated force in the harem. How amazing must the power of her family be!
She was even able to place a pair of twin daughters of several years old next to the queen. This method was absolutely foolproof. It was all part of her struggle to dethrone her and usurp the imperial power in the near future.
If she had not listened to her brother's request today out of sympathy for him and helped Sheng Yunrong, allowing her to enter the palace to talk to her, she might have already met with misfortune, or even imprisoned her entire family.
The Queen Mother stared at the direction where Sheng Yunrong left with a sharp gaze.
Sheng Yunrong, who exactly are you?
How could he know all these conspiracies and intrigues?
No matter what the reason was, the Queen Mother already understood that Sheng Yunrong revealed those secrets to her with the determination to die.
If she had never trusted her, or even if she trusted her but thought Sheng Yunrong had mastered secrets that the royal family could not control, she would have beheaded her in public as a "witch".
But Sheng Yunrong told her the truth without reservation, without any selfish motives, and without taking the opportunity to make any demands...
The Queen was overwhelmed with emotion.
Sheng Yunrong...is the lucky star of her Western Wei.
Inside the Sheng residence.
Sheng Yunrong walked with difficulty to the door of Sheng's house.
Inside the closed door, several people were still busy.
Sheng Yunrong knocked on the door softly, and Sheng Hongye rushed over like an arrow, quickly opened the door and caught her.
He exclaimed, hurriedly closed the door, and helped her into the house: "Yunrong, why is your body so cold?"
Sheng Hongxiao walked forward seriously and took Sheng Yunrong's pulse.
After a careful examination, a trace of anger flashed across Sheng Hongxiao's face.
"What happened?" Sheng Hongye asked anxiously.
Sheng Hongxiao put down his hand and said in a heavy tone: "Yunrong was overworked, which caused her old injury to relapse. In addition, she was busy for days and her body couldn't bear it, so she finally collapsed from exhaustion."
"How could this happen? How could he collapse from exhaustion?" Sheng Hongye felt extremely distressed.
When his sister was at home, they never let her work hard!
Xiang Zhu anxiously suggested: "My two young masters, do you need me to go get some herbs for Madam?"
"Yes." Sheng Hongxiao nodded, "Go to the medicine store and buy some astragalus and red ginseng... 10 taels each."
"Yes, sir." Xiang Zhu bowed and agreed.
"Wait." Sheng Hongxiao reached out and took out his purse. He was a little embarrassed to find that there were only a few taels of silver left in it. "Do you have enough money on you?"
Although he and his elder brother were not well off, they would never let their younger sister become weak like this.
"Second Young Master, you can rest assured. The eldest lady had already anticipated that she would be kicked out of the Qin family, so she stored a large amount of silver in advance, which I secretly took out of the mansion." Xiang Zhu responded anxiously.
"That's great." Sheng Hongxiao nodded slightly.
He looked at Sheng Yunrong's pale face, which was in coma, with deep sorrow in his eyes.
My sister actually knew early on that she would be abandoned by the Qin family?
What kind of pain is she suffering in her heart?
How lonely and helpless it is?
How could one prepare for a rainy day and raise that considerable sum of money?
Sheng Hongxiao tightly grasped the bag of money that was barely left in his hand.
Qin Wenyuan——
I swear to make sure you and your sister break up in a dignified manner!
Xiang Zhu hurried back into the house, took out a bag of silver, and prepared to leave the mansion.
Qin Moyuan called out loudly: "Sister Xiangzhu, I'll go with you too!"
Xiang Zhu stopped and comforted him gently, "Young Master, I know you are worried about the Madam's injury.
But if the lady is conscious, she certainly doesn't want you to take risks. She would rather you rest at home."
Qin Moyuan bit his lip tightly, knowing that what Xiang Zhu said was true.
He stood there silently, and never mentioned following again.
Xiang Zhu rushed to find medicine.
Sheng Hongye's anger grew more and more intense. He hugged Sheng Yunrong, who was thin and had a frown on her face. His eyes were red and his words were choked with sobs.
"Second brother, why didn't we come earlier?" Sheng Hongye's voice trembled.
Sheng Hongxiao tightly grasped Sheng Hongye's shoulders, his tone heavy: "Brother, it's okay. We are here now, and we will never let our sister suffer any grievances again."
"Yeah." Sheng Hongye tried hard to swallow his tears and nodded slightly.
Qin Moyuan clutched his clothes tightly, feeling extremely guilty.
Why is he so incompetent?
I can’t even buy medicinal herbs for my mother.
Qin Moyuan watched Sheng Hongye and Sheng Hongxiao busy taking care of Sheng Yunrong, and left in frustration.
Sheng Hongye glanced at him and said, "This child is really sincere to his sister, which is obvious."
Sheng Hongxiao nodded in agreement: "The Qin family is a den of wolves. Maybe there was some misunderstanding four years ago that caused my sister to feel resentful."
Sheng Hongye's expression relaxed slightly, and his resentment towards Qin Moyuan gradually dissipated.
Xiang Zhu hurried to the pharmacy, but his identity was discovered.
This day was full of twists and turns, and everyone knew that she was Sheng Yunrong's personal maid.
"Doctor, please get some medicine for me." Xiang Zhu handed over the prescription. The doctor glanced at her and slowly prepared the medicine.
He also did not forget to tease: "Is your eldest wife exhausted?"
The doctor chuckled a few times and said, "I saw your eldest wife struggling in the business world every day, and I thought she was a noble and refined person. How come she fainted after being scolded by her daughter?"
Xiang Zhu turned his head away in embarrassment, speechless.
She didn't know why the eldest lady allowed Yue Jie'er to treat her like this.
In the past, the first ladies attached great importance to their children's daily etiquette and would never allow them to make mistakes.
But now, it seems that everything has become irrelevant.
Let the Qin family do whatever they want.
Don't care.
Ever since she learned about the scandal of the master poisoning the first lady, she became more and more terrified. How could she dare to stay in the Qin family?
It is better to follow the eldest lady and find a little peace of mind.
After the doctor prepared the medicine, Xiang Zhu handed over some silver, thanked him and left in a hurry.
Xiang Zhu ignored the inquiring looks from others and ran quickly back to the Sheng family.
Three more days passed, and Sheng Yunrong finally woke up slowly.
She looked at her two brothers sleeping beside the bed, and her heart ached again.
After all, what she is experiencing now is her own fault.
