But the Imperial Concubine is different now. She is being watched by two Imperial Physicians, Doctor Jiang and Doctor Chen, so it is impossible for her to take action.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. Everything around the Imperial Concubine must be inspected. This..."
"What are you worried about? The Queen has been eating for so long, and she died without finding anything from the Imperial Hospital's garbage." Concubine Hui's eyes flashed with venom. "Besides, aren't they just looking for things that could harm the dragon fetus after all this time? I'm not going to kill the dragon fetus, I'm going to kill Bai Susu."
Nanny Sun's heart shuddered. Yes, what the Empress wanted was for the Imperial Concubine to be hollowed out like the Empress, and then slowly die...
If she died, what would it matter even if she gave birth to a prince?
But will things go as smoothly as the Queen thinks?
The Queen had spent a large sum of money to find this poison just to overthrow the Queen, but the Queen was already weak, and the poison needed to accumulate over time to take effect slowly, so adding it to the fertility medicine was a perfect match.
The queen passed away peacefully, but because of the sudden rise of the imperial concubine, all that Huifei had planned came to nothing.
At this moment, Hui Fei's hatred for Bai Susu is no less than that of the previous queen. However, now Hui Fei wants to use the same method to deal with the imperial concubine. Can the same method succeed twice?

After New Year's Day, it was the Lantern Festival. On that day, the emperor fulfilled his promise to take Bai Susu out to play. The two disguised themselves and became an ordinary couple.
Walking into the streets, watching lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, eating Yuanxiao, and riding lantern boats, we had a great time.
For the first time, Bai Susu felt how free and easy life was outside the palace. Looking at the tall and handsome man beside her, Bai Susu thought at that moment that if they were an ordinary couple, even without wealth and glory, there would be nothing wrong with being an ordinary citizen.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment. Reality returned, Li Yuan was still the emperor, and she was still the imperial concubine.
The days in the palace passed slowly. If her belly had not grown bigger and bigger, and she could not feel the growth of her child, she would have been extremely bored.
The emperor was busy with disaster relief because the heavy snow in the capital had damaged many houses and had not entered the harem for several days.
But he still cared a lot about Bai Susu, and asked the eunuch to run several times every day to ask about Bai Susu's situation.
Normally, I would enjoy the imperial meals. The sweet and sour porridge was delivered from the Yangxin Palace to the Yanfu Palace. Even in such a cold day, it was still steaming.
It turned out that there was charcoal buried under the red lacquered food box to ensure that the food would not get cold.
Xiao Chunzi bowed and said, "This is the crispy honey porridge made by the imperial kitchen. The emperor likes it very much, so I specially sent it to the empress."
Of course, in addition to the crispy honey porridge, Emperor Xuan Jing also sent other dishes, but that bowl of porridge was made of green glutinous rice, which had an attractive aroma and was nutritious, so it was sent to Bai Susu.
Bai Susu leaned against the soft pillow decorated with floral patterns and said with a smile, "Thank the Emperor for me. He must have worked very hard on state affairs. Please also tell the Emperor to take care of himself."
Xiao Chunzi responded with a smile, thinking that with the imperial concubine's words, he could go back and make the emperor happy.
He had been in the palace for so long, but he had never seen the emperor dote on a concubine so much.
Just look at how busy the emperor has been these past few days. He has been discussing matters with his ministers day and night, and he doesn't even have time to eat properly.
Even so, I still have to take the time to ask about the Imperial Concubine's situation. The crispy honey porridge was specially developed by the Imperial Kitchen because they saw that the Emperor couldn't eat.
The emperor liked the food so much that he immediately ordered it to be sent to Yanfu Palace. It really shows that he cares about the imperial concubine.

Bai Susu would naturally not let down the emperor's kindness. Not to mention, she missed Emperor Xuan Jing a little after not seeing him for a few days.
Scooping the honey porridge from the bowl, the porridge is as white as light jade, fragrant, and soft and glutinous in the mouth. It is even sweeter because of the addition of honey and ghee.
"Nanchun, go ask the orchard if they have any pears."
"Master, do you want to eat pears?"
Bai Susu shook her head: "It's cold, and burning charcoal all day makes people feel hot. I want to send the emperor a bowl of pear soup to clear his lungs and reduce the heat." The main reason is that Emperor Xuan Jing himself is prone to anger when encountering things. I heard that the ministers were scolded by him again, so I hope the pear soup can put out his anger.
But there is no need to tell this to Nanchun.
Nanchun was delighted to hear her mistress caring so much about the Emperor. It was a relief to know that the Empress and the Emperor were so close, and that was when they felt at ease. She nodded and said cheerfully, "I'll send someone to ask right away."
The result did not disappoint Bai Susu. Pears are not a rare fruit in winter, so they are naturally available in the orchard. The pears delivered were big, juicy and sweet, and they were authentic crystal pears.
Pear soup was also very easy to make. Bai Susu told Deng Sanguan the recipe, and then he followed the same method and buried charcoal at the bottom of the food box and asked it to be sent to the Yangxin Palace.
Hall of Mental Cultivation
The ministers got up almost at the hour of Yin and stayed with the emperor for a whole day. They were scolded for reporting the disaster.
My body was exhausted to the extreme, but the nerves in my head were still tense, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Emperor Xuan Jing's face was not in a good state either. Heavy snow in the capital collapsed the houses. The court distributed disaster relief funds, but officials exploited them at every level. The funds were of no use at all. Many people were frozen to death in the heavy snow.
This is happening right under his nose! What about places further away from him? Will such corruption also occur?
How many of his people will die?
Thinking of these things, Emperor Xuan Jing couldn't sleep at all, and naturally his complexion was not good.
At this time, Wang Fuhai actually dared to come in. Glancing at Wang Fuhai's small steps, Emperor Xuan Jing frowned: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has sent a bowl of pear soup."
The ministers seemed to be bowing their heads, but they were all listening with their ears perked up. "My Imperial Concubine? Why are you sending pear soup at this time? The Emperor will be furious, right? He will definitely be furious, right?"
