The man promised her that he would help the prince restore his title within a few days.
The maid beside her ran in nervously from outside, "Your Majesty, it's not good, many of the Imperial Guards are coming towards our cold palace..."
After hearing this, Concubine Huo said calmly, "Why panic? Just let them do what they want. There's nothing to be nervous about."
Just as the master and servant exchanged a few words, a group of imperial guards arrived and took her to the cold palace.
This time Zhao Chong followed in person.
When Concubine Huo saw Zhao Chong, she approached him warmly and greeted him, "Eunuch Zhao, is it possible that His Majesty has remembered me and wants me to leave this damn place?"
Zhao Chong said sternly, "Princess Huo, someone was so audacious today that they actually sent an assassin into the palace to assassinate Your Majesty. The person is fleeing towards the harem. For your safety, please make way. We are searching for the assassin."
Concubine Huo stood aside with a look of disappointment, giving up her position and letting the imperial guards search around the cold palace where she lived.
These imperial guards searched very carefully. After a long time, they finally left under the leadership of Zhao Chong.
"My Lady, why do I feel like they are not looking for someone, but something else?"
Concubine Huo said nonchalantly, "Whatever they're looking for, it has nothing to do with us. Wait until the news of the palace's search for the assassin has died down, and then you can go and deliver a message."

The young eunuch said that he went to the toilet on the way to deliver medicine, and due to the other party's negligence, he was almost poisoned. He did not take the young eunuch's life, but punished him to work in the cold palace.
Zhao Chong stood beside him and didn't dare to say a word.
Knowing that the medicine soup prepared by the young eunuch is for Your Majesty, it means that the person is hiding in the dark and keeping an eye on Your Majesty's movements all the time.
I also know that the imperial physician has prescribed medicine for Your Majesty.
Judging from these circumstances, the other party can easily obtain your Majesty's daily life. This is a terrible thing.
It was because he failed to do his job in safeguarding His Majesty's daily affairs.
According to palace rules, Your Majesty has no complaints about punishing him.
"Zhao Chong, the person who drugged me will strike again. We must catch him next time. Go down and make arrangements!"
In the absence of any definite clues, he temporarily pretended that nothing had happened.
And in a secret courtyard in the capital, someone was also making a decision on this matter.
