"You mean you failed to poison Madam Yin again last time?" Madam Li finally stopped smiling.
"This servant is certain that Consort drank that cup of tea, but I don't know why she didn't have any symptoms. Could it be that Physician Li came last time and gave her an antidote?" Li Zhongde didn't expect this either. That person clearly said that he saw Consort drink the tea with his own eyes. He was sure that person would never lie to him. So it can only mean that someone gave Consort an antidote afterward.
"Didn't you say that this medicine is undetectable?" Li looked at Li Zhongde dangerously.
“Yes, ordinary imperial physicians wouldn’t be able to tell, but this Imperial Physician Li seems to have exceptional medical skills. He saved that concubine from so many complications during her pregnancy and childbirth. It’s not impossible for him to have figured it out.” Li Zhongde thought it must have been Imperial Physician Li who had noticed it.
"Then why did Madam Yin remain silent about this matter?" Madam Li asked, puzzled. No matter who it happened to, they would not remain completely silent.
"This...this servant doesn't know either." Li Zhongde didn't know what Consort Yin was up to either. After these few incidents, he deeply felt that this concubine was very scheming. (Consort Yin: ???? What are you talking about?) It was best not to confront this concubine directly unless absolutely necessary, but thinking of his own princess, he felt a deep sense of helplessness. It seemed impossible.
"Forget it, it's good to let her fight with the Fujin first. The Fujin has been humiliated this time, she won't let Yin Shi off easily. Let's just watch the show." Li Shi only pondered for a moment before deciding to ignore it for now. Anyway, now that the Fujin and Yin Shi are fighting, she just needs to watch the show. It would be good for her no matter who is defeated!
After this, the backyard seemed to return to its usual tranquility, as if the fight between the two powerful figures in the backyard had never happened. Of course, this was all just a facade. Just look at how the concubine of Luoxue Pavilion spends her days playing in the garden with people but never goes to pay her respects, and you'll know that the two are still fighting.
Even after Li's confinement was lifted, Yin Qingyi still did not go to pay her respects to the Fujin. When Li did pay her respects, she was much more obedient and did not nitpick at the Fujin. However, the look in her eyes was full of mockery, which made the Fujin very angry! But Li did not do anything improper or say anything improper, so no one knew how to punish her.
When it came to the first time the Fujin (Prince Consort) paid her respects after her falling out with Consort Yin, she dressed in her finest attire. Having heard that Consort Yin took her children to play in the garden daily, the Fujin was certain Consort Yin would come to pay her respects. But what happened? Consort Yin didn't even show up. The Fujin, dressed so elegantly, looked like a clown. She had been slapped in the face, and the Fujin could only swallow her anger! When someone went to Luoxue Pavilion to ask the Consort Yin why she hadn't come to pay her respects, she was dismissed with a nonchalant, "Didn't you say you were under house arrest?"
You might ask, since she's under house arrest, why did she go out? She simply said, "The affairs of Luoxue Pavilion are not under the jurisdiction of the Fujin. The house arrest was ordered by the Fujin, which she doesn't acknowledge. However, out of respect for the Fujin, she chose not to get in her way!" Fine, that's it then. Do you think you can force her to come and pay her respects? Even if you dared, you couldn't bring her here. The Fujin has skilled bodyguards around her; what could you do?
So the Fujin was already holding her breath, and Li Shi's look made her even angrier. Just when the Fujin was half-dead with anger, a little eunuch hurriedly walked in.
"Damn servant, you have no manners at all! Who allowed you to come in! Guards, drag him out and give him thirty strokes of the cane!" The princess was already in a bad mood, and when she saw the little eunuch come in, she immediately found an outlet for her anger.
"Please spare me, Your Highness! Please spare me! It's Lady Geng who's done something wrong. I spoke to Sister Yuegui at the door, and she let me in." The little eunuch was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
"What did you say?" The princess stood up, looked at the little eunuch who kept kowtowing, and asked with a bad expression.
"Yes, yes, something bad has happened to Lady Geng. When this servant arrived, Lady Geng was already barely breathing." The little eunuch stopped kowtowing and answered cautiously, afraid that if he said something wrong, the princess would have him dragged out and flogged again.
"Go to Ningcui Pavilion." The princess consort, no longer caring about being angry, hurriedly walked out.
Lady Li watched the Fujin's every move and followed suit.
It must be said that Geng Shi is really tough. She should have died three months ago, but she has managed to hold on until now. I don't know what has sustained her until now.
When the Fujin arrived at Ningcui Pavilion, Yin Qingyi was already there. Looking at Yin Qingyi's alluring back from afar, the Fujin recognized her at a glance. Her pupils contracted, and she came to her senses as Li Mama pulled her from behind, realizing that Li Mama was reminding her that the occasion was inappropriate.
"This concubine greets the Fujin." Upon hearing the sound, Yin Qingyi turned around and saw the Fujin and Li Shi. She casually curtsied to the Fujin and stood up on her own before the Fujin could even ask her to rise.
Upon seeing this, the Fujin was so angry that her breath hitched, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, she was experienced in all kinds of things. When Li was favored, it was the same. As long as Yin lost favor, she could still manipulate her at will! Thinking this, she felt a little better.
Ignoring Yin Qingyi, the Fujin walked straight into the room. The furnishings inside were worse than those of the concubines; such shabby conditions were a failure on Geng's part. The Fujin entered the inner room and saw a person lying on the bed whose face was completely disfigured. At first glance, the Fujin was terrified by Geng's appearance.
Geng's cheeks were sunken, and her eye sockets were deep-set, making her look like someone who had been dead for a long time. Her eyes were unusually large because of their deep-set sockets, making them look frightening. When she heard someone come in, her face slowly turned around, and her eyes moved slightly, making her face even more terrifying. The Fujin was so frightened that she froze on the spot.
Yin Qingyi and Li Shi also came in at this moment, and they were equally frightened by the appearance of Geng Shi in front of them. How could a person become like this?
As Geng Shi on the bed moved her eyes, she saw Yin Qingyi. Seeing Yin Qingyi's incomparably noble appearance and her gorgeous attire, Geng Shi's already frightening eyes widened even more. Then, Geng Shi's mouth moved slightly, but no sound came out.
