Julie still died.

For her sister, Zhu Hanfei will definitely enter the palace.

The trajectory of fate has not been changed.

Concubine Lin's face darkened.

All this confirmed what Wu Da Ying was thinking.

Could it be that the plot of the play that Wu promised cannot be changed?

She began to doubt whether the seemingly random script really controlled everyone's fate.

Concubine Lin's mood instantly fell to the bottom, feeling gloomy and uneasy.

…

In the following days, Concubine Lin had no time to find out Zhu Hanfei's whereabouts, nor did she have time to pry more information out of Doctor Guo's mouth.

She became busier and busier, only because the queen had fallen seriously ill in **.

The Lotus Heart Gu eventually broke out. The imperial doctors could not diagnose the cause and lived in fear every day, fearing that something might happen to the Empress.

The emperor's face became increasingly gloomy, and he would send his servants to serve in the Ministry of Punishment if they made the slightest mistake.

Everyone in the palace was in a panic, as if walking on thin ice, fearing that one wrong step would lead them into an abyss from which there was no escape.

At this moment, the Kunning Palace was filled with medicinal aroma.

The woman on the gorgeous bed aged nearly ten years in a month. Her temples turned gray and her skin became loose. She was relying on medicine to keep herself going.

After the emperor finished handling government affairs in the Yangxin Palace every day, he would rush to the queen's palace to accompany her.

Empress Liu is the emperor's first wife. The two met when they were young and supported each other. After he ascended the throne, they each performed their duties and made Chen Kingdom the most powerful country on the continent.

Even though there are many beauties in the harem, the queen will always occupy the most important position in his heart.

Now seeing how old and haggard the queen looks, the emperor can only hold her hand, hoping that her pain will be alleviated.

The emperor closed his eyes to hide his sadness: "Don't worry, Queen. I have asked the Imperial Hospital to stay on duty day and night. You will get better soon."

The queen reluctantly bent the corners of her mouth and shook the emperor's hand back.

"I will be fine, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. He should not be disturbed by me. You'd better go back early." The queen advised softly.

Seeing the queen's weak appearance, the emperor sighed and patted her hand to comfort her.

The queen also advised: "If the emperor is upset, it would be better for him to go see other concubines."

The emperor frowned: "You are still sick, how can I abandon you?"

The queen pulled the corner of her mouth and revealed an extremely faint smile: "Your Majesty, you don't know medical skills, what's the point of you being here? Compared to you, I need the imperial physician more."

What the Queen didn’t say was that she had been with the Emperor for many years, so how could she not know his true thoughts at this moment?

Taking care of patients is a tiring job, and the emperor can't do it and doesn't know how to do it.

The look in his eyes when he looked at himself was clearly a little tired.

The queen gently pushed the emperor's hand away.

The emperor felt a little embarrassed after being pointed out so bluntly that he was useless.

But the queen was dying at this moment, and the emperor would not haggle with her at this time.

He knew that this was the Queen's way of provoking him. But since the Queen said so, the Emperor sighed and said, "In that case, I will come to see you tomorrow."

The queen smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, take care."

Before leaving, the queen added: "If you see Wu Da Ying, Your Majesty, remember to say a few words to her."

When the emperor heard this, he nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

But in fact, he didn't remember who Wu Da Ying was.

Next to Kunning Palace is Xuefangxuan, where Concubine Lu lives.

Lu Changzai has a gentle personality and beautiful appearance. In the emperor's heart, she is a rare and well-behaved beauty.

The imperial carriage descended, and a pair of bright yellow brocade boots landed steadily on the ground. The emperor walked into Xuefangxuan, winning a faint smile from the beauty.

His somewhat irritated mood was brushed away by Lu Changzai's gentleness and consideration.

When the emperor walked into the room, Lu Changzai asked with a smile: "Why did the emperor come today? He didn't even let anyone know. I didn't even order dinner."

The emperor sat down and said, "I just came to see you on my way out of the Queen's palace."

He lifted his eyelids and asked calmly, "You live nearby, why don't you go to the Queen's palace to take care of her?"

Lu Changzai smiled and was not frightened by the questioning.

She knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, so she pushed a cup of hot tea over to him to warm him up.

The emperor looked at her for a while, and finally took the tea.

Lu Changzai sat down and said, "Half a month ago, when I and Mu Changzai heard that the Queen was seriously ill, we expressed our willingness to serve her, but she refused."

The emperor frowned, drank tea and said nothing.

"The Queen Mother said that she had asked someone in Western Xia to obtain a magical medicine, and once the medicine was shipped to the capital, the root cause of the disease would be cured. The Queen Mother also said that even if we sisters fainted by her bedside, it would be useless." Lu Changzai explained.

That certainly sounds like something a queen would say.

The emperor's brows relaxed a little.

But he still said, "Nonsense, I have never heard of such a miracle drug."

Lu Changzai replied: "Your Majesty is right. I am also confused. How can medicine be so magical? But since the Queen said so and Wu Yingda also said so, I have no choice but to believe it."

This was the second time the emperor heard this name today.

The first time was in the Queen's palace, where the Queen asked him to talk to Wu Da Ying.

The second time was now, in Lu Changzai's palace.

But the emperor thought for a long time and still couldn't remember who this person was.

...Is there such a promise in the palace?

Lu Changzai noticed the emperor's expression and reminded him softly, "Wu promised that he was not in good health. He has not been in bed with the emperor for a year since he entered the palace. He is now living with the imperial concubine in Linhua Palace."

Lu Changzai gave the emperor a way out with her words.

How could Wu Ying not sleep with the emperor because of poor health? It was obviously because the emperor didn't like her.

But she couldn't say it directly because she had to give face to the emperor.

When the imperial concubine's name was mentioned, the emperor finally had some impression of Wu Qing.

He had indeed agreed with the imperial concubine to move a certain concubine into her palace.

This person again?

Wu agreed?

The emperor's suspicion was aroused.

His face turned cold, and he asked calmly, "Did you mention her on purpose?"

Lu Changzai took a breath, knelt down and replied: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, Wu promised to know me when I was a child. Since entering the palace, we two sisters have supported each other and have a deep relationship."

She lowered her head and said, "Before, Wu promised to be seriously ill. I wanted to visit her, but I didn't expect that she was taken to Linhua Palace by the Imperial Concubine."

"Linhua Palace is closed to visitors. I haven't seen her for a long time. I am panicking and have come up with this last resort. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

The emperor put down the teacup heavily and said coldly: "You are really sentimental."

The emperor could tell that Lu Changzai thought that Wu Da Ying had suffered at the hands of Concubine Lin, and he used him to investigate.

The emperor looked very unhappy as he was being used by a concubine.

Lu Changzai on the ground was pale, and although he was extremely frightened, he still looked resolute.

The emperor suddenly flicked his sleeves and left in anger.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, where are we going?" The chief eunuch glared at Lu Changzai fiercely, then smiled obsequiously.

"Linhua Palace."

As soon as the emperor uttered three words, a group of palace servants followed him instantly and disappeared in a moment.

In Xuefangxuan, Lu Mengman finally lost her strength and collapsed to the ground.

This was the best she could do.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that nothing would happen to Wu Qing.
