Guo Cui understood immediately.
Doctor Chang was just faking it.
However, she also knew very well that once the Emperor found out about this, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly.
Once the Emperor finds out that Consort Lan had once intended to poison the Imperial Noble Consort.
Even though Lan Changzai was not poisoned to death by the disfiguring potion.
They will also be killed by the starving emperor.
Guo Cui was a servant of Consort Lan.
They will inevitably be questioned.
At that time.
If Lan Changzai is to take the blame.
Is this necessary?
Even if it was concealed.
Can't the Emperor find out?
The emperor is such a smart person.
In addition, there was the assistance of a clever imperial concubine.
There's nothing the Emperor can't find out.
Thinking about this...
Guo Cui decided not to help Lan Changzai hide the truth.
Lan Changzai didn't think that much about it.
In her opinion.
Once someone has been your servant for a day, they will be your servant for life.
Everything must be done with the master's best interests in mind.
They have to take the blame for their master's mistakes.
Fortunately, I was afraid it was an infectious disease, and Zi Changzai, who left earlier, wasn't here.
Otherwise, Zi Changzai would definitely find out something.
Lan Changzai immediately said to Guo Cui.
"Guocui, hurry up, secretly throw that potion away!"
"If anyone asks, just say you don't know anything."
Guo Cui nodded.
"My lord, I understand!"
Guo Cui immediately picked up the bottle of medicine and went outside.
Lan Changzai was relieved.
However.
Lan Changzai was unaware.
Guo Cui had just walked out.
They headed towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
She decided to report Lan Changzai directly.
This way, I can save my life!
Zi Changzai had no intention of letting her go either.
Let Caiye follow.
"You need to keep a close eye on Guo Cui's movements."
"If Guo Cui is secretly disposing of something!"
"You must pick that thing up!"
Soon, Caiye caught up.
Then.
Caiye then saw Guocui heading towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Caiye frowned.
"If she's heading in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, then I really don't need to follow her."
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Imperial Physician Chang told the Emperor what had just happened to Consort Lan.
The Emperor was not surprised.
Just a simple sentence.
"Then let's follow what Physician Chang said."
"Has Consort Lan been poisoned?"
Physician Chang nodded.
"yes."
"Is there any hope?"
Physician Chang shook his head.
"His heart meridian has already been damaged; he probably won't survive another day!"
At that very moment.
Grandpa Gao walked in.
"Your Majesty, Guo Cui requests an audience, saying she has something important to report."
Ye Ling knew that this must be related to Lan Changzai.
So he said.
"Let her in."
Guo Cui quickly came in with the medicine bottle.
He knelt before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this servant wishes to denounce Consort Lan."
Ye Ling glanced at her.
"You are Consort Lan's personal maid. Now that you are going to denounce her, aren't you afraid that others will say you are harming your mistress?"
Guo Cui shook her head and said.
"Your Majesty, if I betrayed you for personal gain, then I deserve to be despised by everyone!"
“But what I’m going to accuse now is that Consort Lan herself was plotting to harm the Imperial Noble Consort, Consort Jin, and the Princess.”
Ye Ling feigned surprise.
"Oh? Tell me more about it."
Guo Cui picked up the medicine bottle in her hand and said.
"This stuff is a disfiguring potion."
"Consort Lan originally intended to use her skills on the Imperial Noble Consort, Consort Jin, and the Princess today, but unfortunately, they didn't work!"
"Then, after returning, Consort Lan used it on the servant girl for experiments. After discovering that the servant girl was not disfigured, Consort Lan thought it was a good rouge and powder, so she used it on her own face!"
"But after using it, Lan Changzai developed red spots on her face."
Ye Ling frowned.
"So, you mean this potion is poisonous?"
Guo Cui shook her head and said.
"Your Majesty, this servant does not know either. When I used it, I was not disfigured. But for some reason, when Consort Lan used it, she showed signs of disfigurement."
At this time.
Ye Qianqian walked in.
[Hehehe, Aunt Xu, Mother, the reason I'm alright is because of Uncle Cangyun's help!]
[By the time Lan Changzai used it, his martial uncle had restored the potion's toxicity!]
[As a result, Lan Changzai got into trouble!]
"However, it was her own fault. If she hadn't intended to harm anyone in the first place, at worst she would have been thrown away by her father and banished to the cold palace; at least she would have survived!"
But now, they don't even have their lives!
It's truly ridiculous; how come I haven't met a single person who's even remotely intelligent enough to handle palace intrigue?
Ye Ling said.
"Let's go take a look at Chuxiu Palace now."
In the Chuxiu Palace.
Lan Changzai still looked pained.
Just then, the voice of Eunuch Gao rang out from outside.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
When Consort Lan heard that it was the Emperor who had come,
They were very panicked.
Why did the Emperor suddenly come here?
Did they come to see me because they knew I was injured?
No matter what, the Emperor must not know about the poison!
I must make the Emperor believe that I have been poisoned!
