The Yangui Palace was in chaos at this moment. As Su Man stepped in, she bumped into a palace servant.
Wu Xia was quick to push the man, making him stumble. "How reckless you are! You've offended His Majesty. You deserve to have your heads chopped off!"
The palace maid who was scolded was still young, her face pale and she looked at a loss, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Seeing that he was frightened, Su Man didn't blame him too much, "It's okay, what happened to your master?"
"To answer your Majesty, Lord Di has been unconscious for an incense stick of time."
Something flashed in Su Man's eyes, and when she spoke again, her tone became extremely anxious, "What's going on? Where is the imperial physician?"
"I just sent someone to invite him, but for some reason he hasn't come yet. I was just about to go and urge him."
"Hurry up!"
"Ah, I obey your command."
After saying that, he ran outside in a hurry.
In the inner hall, Di Zixiao lay on his back on the bed, his face pale and he could hardly breathe out.
Su Man quickly walked to the bed and held his hand, "Zi Xiao, wake up."
Di Zixiao's eyes were closed tightly, and he was unconscious.
Seeing this, Su Man flew into a rage at the palace servants, "How are you serving me? What happened to Lady Di?"
Everyone in the room knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't know. I didn't know."
"Waste! Where is the steward?"
Among the kneeling palace servants, a palace servant dressed differently stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am Xiaolu, the chief steward of this palace."
"Tell me, what happened to Di Guijun?"
Xiaolu shuddered at Su Man's yelling. He gritted his teeth and said, "Di Guijun was having breakfast before he fell unconscious. I wonder if he ate something inappropriate, which is why..."
Su Man's face darkened. "You mean, someone poisoned Di Guijun?"
"I don't know, I don't know..."
"You don't know? You said you didn't know about such a big thing happening to your Lordship? If anything happens to your Lordship, you will all be buried with him!"
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"Your Majesty, calm down."
The palace servants spoke one after another, like a tape recorder.
...
When Su Man was furious, no one noticed that Di Zixiao, who was supposed to be unconscious, twitched his fingertips.
But that was all he could do.
Although his body could not move, he did not lose his senses. Although he could not see or move, he could still hear.
He could hear how furious Su Man was, and how the imperial physician treated him.
After the imperial physician examined the patient carefully, he came to a conclusion that made his scalp tingle.
"Your Majesty, Lord Di has been poisoned. I'm afraid it's not good."
“…”
It is easy to imagine how terrified a person would be when he hears others say that he is beyond saving while he is still alive.
Di Zixiao wanted to speak, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound. He could only listen to the "quack doctor" advising Su Man to prepare for his funeral.
"Your Majesty, Lord Di has not yet recovered from his recent financial loss, and now he's been poisoned. He's lost consciousness and is practically dead. It's time to prepare."
Su Man took two steps back and fell into the chair. Her voice trembled, "What did you say?"
Wu Xia quickly fanned Su Man with a fan and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be too sad. Take care of yourself."
Su Man flicked away the fan and said, "Get out, all of you get out."
“…”
As Di Zixiao heard the surroundings become quiet, he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart.
What happened? Is Suman going to give up on him?
The fear of not being able to control his own life filled him with unease.
Just when he thought he would disappear from this world silently, a slightly cool hand brushed his face.
Someone murmured, "How could this happen? Why is it like this?"
Although he couldn't see Su Man's face, Di Zixiao's imagination made him feel as if he could see Su Man's sadness and heartbreak.
"Please, wake up, please."
The choked voice made Di Zixiao's heart feel like it was being kneaded hard, making it feel sore and swollen.
Suddenly, he had an illusion that he was trapped on an isolated island, and the only one who could save him was Suman.
...
But where he couldn't see, Su Man was sitting with her legs crossed, expressionless.
However, this did not prevent her from expressing her "love" for Di Zixiao sentence after sentence.
This was a trap she had designed specifically for Di Zixiao. The purpose, of course, was to alienate the relationship between him and the traitor.
The previous act of providing timely assistance, although effective, had little effect.
Di Zixiao's attitude towards her has changed a little, but his desire for power means that even if he is slightly tempted, he will not really stand on her side.
So Su Man came up with a new tactic: a friend in need is a friend indeed.
In fact, Di Zixiao was not poisoned at all. Su Man just put a drug in his food that could paralyze his body, making him unable to move or speak.
As for what the imperial physician said, it was all her instructions in advance. Her purpose was to push Di Zixiao into the abyss and then save him with her own hands.
Looking at Di Zixiao's trembling eyelids, Su Man rubbed the goose bumps on her arms, and said sweet words one after another, as if they were free. She didn't leave until Wu Xia came outside to report that a minister was coming to see her, and then she reluctantly left.
...
As soon as she left the Yangui Palace, all the sadness on Su Man's face disappeared, leaving only a determination to win.
The person who came was an official from the Ministry of Rites, who discussed with Su Man the matter of offering sacrifices to the late emperor.
