The maid Linglan went out, and Lady Fucha poured herself a cup of wine, drinking it with a smile.
“Mr. Nian, you are about to die. Don’t come looking for me after you die. Blame yourself for being so arrogant and domineering. In this life, I can finally kill you.”
"Hahahaha," Fucha laughed.
She put down her wine cup, her eyes filled with malice. She thought to herself, "The Empress's power is gone now. Next up is Consort Xi. If Consort Xi dies, this harem will be mine."
Fucha's maid, Linglan, bribed a woman to keep an eye on Changchun Palace. When the woman returned, she reported that things had indeed turned out as Fucha had said. Lanqin had sent people to check the things that Nian used, including the pearl powder and dew she used to apply to her face every day. The maid was very nervous and quickly asked the spies and the imperial physician if they had found anything.
The woman with the eyeliner cupped her hands in a respectful gesture and replied, "The imperial physician found nothing wrong, so please rest assured, young lady."
"And then what happened?" the maid Linglan asked.
The old woman replied, "Consort Xi only sent the imperial physicians to continue the investigation. As for Consort Nian, the imperial physicians can only use acupuncture to seal her blood vessels and prevent her from dying from the poison, but she won't last much longer."
Linglan was anxious and said, "Why isn't Consort Nian dead yet? Once she's dead, Consort Xi shouldn't investigate any further."
The old woman replied, "Please rest assured, young lady. The imperial physicians haven't found a way to save Consort Nian, so they're just delaying her death by a few days. There won't be any problems."
Linglan said, "I hope so." After saying that, she took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and stuffed it into her hand, saying, "You did a good job. This is your reward. You continue to keep an eye on Changchun Palace and report back immediately if there is any news."
The old woman took the money and immediately beamed, saying, "Yes, I will definitely take care of this. You can rest assured that I can handle things well."
After court, the Fourth Prince went directly to Yikun Palace to see if Consort Nian had woken up.
The result was undoubtedly disappointing to him. He heard from the imperial physicians that Lanqin had come in the morning, and thinking that she must also be worried about this matter, the Fourth Prince went to Changchun Palace. It's always better for two people to come up with a solution than for one person to come up with a solution alone.
Lanqin was still anxious about Consort Nian's matter when she reported to Baoqin, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived."
Lanqin hurriedly went out of the palace to greet him, and she bowed to the Fourth Prince, saying, "Your Majesty, may you be blessed."
The Fourth Prince helped her up and said, "My beloved concubine, there's no need for such formalities."
The Fourth Prince sat in the main seat in the palace, and Lanqin had someone pour him tea.
Lanqin said, "Why did His Majesty come here right after court? Didn't he go to see Consort Nian?"
The Fourth Prince said, "I went to see her, but she hasn't woken up yet, so there's no use in me staying there."
The Fourth Prince took a sip of tea and said, "I heard you sent people to investigate the daily necessities used by Consort Nian. Did they find anything?"
Lanqin said, "I was just about to tell Your Majesty about this when my subordinates reported that they found nothing, and the imperial physicians have not been able to find a way to treat Consort Nian."
The Fourth Prince said, "Where did this poison come from? Even the Imperial Hospital can't figure it out."
Lanqin was also puzzled and said softly, "I suspected that it was someone from Consort Nian's side who did it, so I asked Baoqin to keep an eye on them."
"What was the result?" Fourth Master asked.
Lanqin called Baoqin over and asked her, "Baoqin, how's the matter I asked you to handle?"
Baoqin replied, "This servant sent people to keep an eye on them as Your Highness instructed, but found nothing unusual."
