This little palace maid was lucky enough to cure Concubine Jing of the poison. Ning Yuxi couldn't help but feel curious.
Luoying replied, "I heard she was a maid from the Xinzheku, her name was Lianwei."
Lian Wei? !
Isn’t that the original heroine?
She doesn't really have the halo of the heroine. If she saved Princess Yincheng on her behalf, then Lianwei would be the one who knew about Concubine Jing's poison.
According to the original book, she is now dead!
Ning Yuxi suppressed her confused emotions. After all, she was living a good life now, pregnant and promoted. She would not harm others as long as they did not interfere with her.
But if someone wants to harm her, she doesn't care whether you are the original heroine or not, she will take revenge!
After packing up and paying respects to the Queen at Fengluan Palace, she heard the Queen say, "I'm sure you've all heard that Concubine Jing's poison has been cured. You can all rest assured."
Concubine Liu said calmly, "Someone actually dared to poison people in public at the New Year's Eve banquet. How audacious! But this banquet was organized by the Empress..."
The Queen was furious when she heard this, and she raised her voice unknowingly: "What do you mean by this, Concubine Liu? If I have done anything wrong, the Emperor will naturally punish me. Are you trying to be the Emperor's boss?"
Concubine Liu smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. How dare I make decisions for the Emperor? I am just worried that Your Majesty will be overworked."
"I am the Empress, and these are my responsibilities. How can I be tired? The Emperor will make the final decision on this matter, so you don't have to worry about it, my little sister!"
After saying this, the Queen stood up and said, "I'm going to visit Concubine Jing, so you all should go away!"
Looking at the queen's departing back, Concubine Liu snorted, stood up, held the hand of the palace maid and walked away slowly.
Ning Yuxi stood up and left with everyone else. Concubine Chen and Concubine Li came forward and said, "We are planning to go visit Concubine Jing. Would you like to come with us, sister?"
Ning Yuxi was a little surprised. She had always been alone, and this was the first time someone approached her for a conversation. Since she was going too, she agreed.
Concubine Chen and Concubine Li were both old servants from the time when the emperor was in the Eastern Palace. Both of them were out of favor and had no children, and were like invisible people in the harem.
The two of them live in Yaohe Palace together and are close to each other. Ning Yuxi saved Princess Yincheng and is now pregnant, so it is not surprising that the two of them want to be friends with her.
Although Ning Yuxi didn't want to get close to anyone, she wouldn't refuse if someone wanted to make friends with her with good intentions.
After all, it is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy. As for whether it is worth making friends with, it depends on how you get along with each other in the future.
The three of them walked together towards Concubine Jing's Yunqing Palace. Along the way, Ning Yuxi could see some of their personalities.
Concubine Chen is gentle and steady, while Concubine Li is more impetuous. However, with Concubine Chen's advice, it is not a big deal, and Concubine Li is willing to listen to Concubine Chen's words.
The three of them chatted casually and soon arrived at Yunqing Palace. Only then did they find that the other concubines had also arrived. Well, the emperor did not have to attend court during the New Year holidays, and at this moment he was with Concubine Jing.
Coming here to visit Concubine Jing not only allows them to see the Emperor, but also allows the Emperor to know their concern for Concubine Jing. After all, everyone knows that the Emperor likes Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing was still asleep at this moment, her face was pale and there was a hint of black on her lips.
Ning Yuxi only realized from what Concubine Chen said along the way that Lian Wei only knew the detoxification prescription and did not know about bloodletting with silver needles.
However, the detoxification prescription can also detoxify, but the effect is slower, and it takes at least half a month to completely detoxify.
The emperor sat beside the bed with a frown on his face, looking at Concubine Jing with a worried look. The queen was beside him, urging the emperor to rest and take care of his health, but the emperor remained unmoved.
It seems that the emperor has stayed here for a night. He really likes Concubine Jing.
Fortunately, Concubine Jing was weak and had long been told by the imperial physician that she could not get pregnant, otherwise everyone in the harem would be restless, and even the queen would be worried.
Concubine Jing woke up at noon, so Ning Yuxi and others stayed with her until noon.
Originally, they could have left after visiting, but the emperor was so devoted to Concubine Jing that he had no time to care whether they left or not.
Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, the queen didn't want to care about it. After all, she had just been angry with Concubine Liu in the morning.
So they stayed together until noon.
As Concubine Jing came forward to offer her condolences one by one, the emperor began to send them away.
On the way back to the palace, Ning Yuxi walked very fast. There was no other way. She was pregnant and pregnant women get hungry quickly. Besides, it was almost noon and she could eat a whole cow now.
Ruyi, who was following behind, was worried all the way that her master would fall.
After returning to the palace, Ning Yuxi drank two cups of milk to relieve her hunger, and Ruyi asked someone to clear the table so that they could set the meal.
The young palace maids Zhu'er and Ping'er came in. Seeing the two of them, Ruyi said unhappily, "Didn't I tell you to bring the food? Why are you still here?"
The two of them hurriedly lowered their heads and said, "Sister Ruyi, we were about to go, but Sister Luoying came over and said she was going to bring the food..."
Ruyi was puzzled when she heard this. Small tasks like serving meals were done by young palace maids. Why would Luoying, a senior palace maid, serve meals?
Ning Yuxi was also quite puzzled. Even if a newcomer was expected to do more to show their loyalty and gain respect, they wouldn't do such a trivial thing, right? Besides, Luoying didn't seem like that kind of person.
Just as he was thinking about it, Luoying came in with the meal. The little palace maid cleared the table, helped set the table, and then left.
When only the master and servant were left in the room, Luoying walked up to Ning Yuxi and said solemnly, "Master, I have something to report."
Ning Yuxi raised her head and looked at her, motioning her to continue.
"Master, do you still remember the waitress who spilled soup at the New Year's Eve banquet? She's dead!"
Ning Yuxi was surprised: "Dead? How did he die?"
"I just went to the imperial kitchen to pick up food and was thinking of looking for that palace maid, but I accidentally saw several eunuchs secretly carrying a corpse.
It is said that several palace maids and eunuchs died of a cold. I took a closer look and found that one of the bodies was the young palace maid who served food."
Ning Yuxi said she wasn't too surprised. She had guessed at the time that the palace maid had done it on purpose. Since it was a deliberate frame-up, it was only natural that those who were involved should be silenced.
But when this was confirmed, Ning Yuxi still felt a chill in her heart. This was the palace where people killed without blinking an eye.
Ning Yuxi looked at Luoying with complicated eyes. Ning Yuxi had originally planned to let Ruyi keep an eye on the matter of the palace maid who served the dishes, but she didn't expect Luoying to be so efficient.
She said, "Why do you want to pay attention to that little palace maid?" She actually had the answer in her heart, and Luoying must have noticed it at the palace banquet that day.
But she still wanted to hear Luoying herself.
Luoying felt the master's gaze and knelt down in a neither humble nor arrogant manner and replied: "Master, I noticed that the palace maid at the palace banquet that day fell towards you.
If the master hadn't dodged quickly, then the person who went out to change clothes that day would not have been Mr. Xie but the master!"
