When Bai Susu found out, she was indeed shocked.
Nanchun saw that the Empress looked a little unwell and was frightened. "Empress, what's wrong with you? The Emperor ordered us to keep this a secret from you, fearing that you would be frightened."
"It's okay..." Bai Susu stopped herself from calling the imperial physician, "No need to call the imperial physician."
Her feelings were complicated. On the one hand, since Emperor Xuan Jing treated her like this, she should naturally be satisfied.
But on the other hand, she was also a little scared. The emperor's wrath would result in the death of millions, and this matter was more or less related to her...
Although she did not see the palace maids being tortured with her own eyes, she could imagine it, and her mood was inevitably heavy for a while.
After all, the emperor wanted to establish his authority for her and the child in her womb, so he acted so cruelly...
She was very confused now and spoke with difficulty: "Did someone die?"
Nanchun and Manxia exchanged a glance: "The tortured people have been moved to the Western Garden. The emperor must have left them to fend for themselves..."
Bai Susu's eyelashes trembled. If such a severe punishment was not treated, the young and healthy might be able to survive it, but the weak and elderly might...
"Pack up the medicine in the palace and secretly send it to the Western Garden. Find an insignificant eunuch."
Bai Susu was not a hesitant person and made a decision quickly. She could not go against the emperor's opinion, nor did she want to go against the emperor's wishes, but since she knew it, she could not do nothing and watch so many people die.
Let it be, just for a little peace of mind.
Although Bai Susu spoke in secret, what happened in the palace could not escape the eyes of Emperor Xuan Jing, especially those in Yanfu Palace.
Upon hearing the news, Emperor Xuan Jing was silent for a long time and sighed in his heart: "Let her be." Su Su was just too soft-hearted.
Sometimes he also felt that Susu was too different. For example, she had never corporally punished the servants in the palace, and she even made dumplings, ate, and joked with the palace servants. This was simply impossible in the eyes of Emperor Xuan Jing.
In his mind, slaves are slaves. He can kill ministers and concubines, so what are the lives of a few slaves?
But even though he is so cold and hard, he is willingly attracted to Su Su...
He didn't care about the life or death of those servants, but he cared about Bai Susu's feelings. If doing this could make her feel comfortable, then so be it.
Emperor Xuan Jing seemed to be unaware of the situation and did not reveal anything when he went to Yanfu Palace. Bai Susu even carefully observed Emperor Xuan Jing's expression, but could not see anything.
Just assume he doesn't know.
After this incident, the harem became increasingly quiet. Before, when Bai Susu went for a walk in the imperial garden, some people were eager to get close to Bai Susu. But now, there are no people except flowers and plants. Occasionally, when they meet a few palace maids and eunuchs, they are like mice seeing a cat. Apart from asking greetings, they dare not look up at them.
Bai Susu, who was unreasonably treated as a scourge, could only feel helpless.
But she was calm and not affected much.
However, one thing could not help but attract Bai Susu's attention. After she had eaten most of the second box of candy, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a new box of candy, which looked exactly the same as the previous one.
But it is no longer poisonous.
"Tongzi, are you sure?"
After listening to Bai Susu's doubts, the system checked it carefully again and confirmed that the sugar delivered this time was indeed non-toxic.
"Master, it seems that man doesn't intend to harm you."
Bai Susu fell into deep thought. Was she going to stop harming him? Or was she planning to try a different method?
How many connections does this person have? Can he do whatever harm he wants?
Wait, there was a sudden flash of lightning in Bai Susu's mind, as if she had grasped some useful information.
Frankly speaking, Bai Susu already admired her for being able to use this trick on sugar. After all, it meant that she had someone in the Imperial Household Department, and they were using their lives and property to help her.
But... it's a little unreasonable to suddenly give up this relatively covert way of harming people and choose something else.
What if she hadn't suddenly had a change of heart and stopped harming her?
Or maybe something unexpected happened... Concubine Hui is under house arrest, so this candy is normal...
Bai Susu felt the truth suddenly become clear. She had been somewhat suspicious of Concubine Hui, no, Concubine Hui, but without evidence she couldn't be sure. But now...
Looking at the newly delivered box of candy and the previous box of candy with one or two candies left, Bai Susu knew that she had to take action, otherwise the evidence would slowly disappear.
"Tongzi, how much has my body been affected by the toxins now?"
"Master, the person who poisoned you is very patient. You haven't eaten much yet, probably only 30%. I'm afraid it's difficult to diagnose with current medical skills."
Bai Susu hesitated again, but suddenly she remembered that the system had a pulse regulation function, but it required points to be exchanged.
"Tongzi, can you make my pulse more pronounced?"

Summer Palace
Concubine Jing suddenly took over the affairs of the six palaces, which inevitably made things a little hectic.
In addition, when she was sorting out the account books, she found that when Concubine Hui and Concubine Duan were managing the harem, things were in a complete mess.
One reason is that the two of them don't get along, and they both act arbitrarily in everything without any consultation.
The second reason is that Concubine Duan was young and had neither experience nor wisdom in such matters, so her mess was simply terrible.
Now that Concubine Hui has been deprived of power, Concubine Duan has also realized her own lack of ability. She is afraid that if she continues like this, it will cause dissatisfaction to Emperor Xuan Jing. In addition, she has a good impression of Concubine Jing and does not want to be so confrontational with Concubine Hui.
So she lowered her status and took the initiative to come to the Summer Palace to seek advice. As a result, Concubine Jing not only had to manage Concubine Hui's affairs, but also Concubine Duan's. It was as if the affairs of the entire Six Palaces were weighed down on her shoulders...
Therefore, although Concubine Jing was very capable, she was still busy from morning till night. The senior palace maid Qingxing came in from outside and saw her master holding the account book and yawning. She couldn't help but feel distressed: "My dear, please rest early."
