Chapter 807 They're trying to kill the Empress!
Jiang Fenghua woke up the next morning. She found it unbelievable that she had slept for a whole day and night without waking up.
She slept very soundly.
When Lin Yu and the others learned that she had woken up, they all rushed to her bedside to check on her.
"How is Your Majesty feeling?"
Is there anything else that's bothering you?
"Your Majesty must be hungry. This servant has prepared a medicinal meal for you."
"The servants were worried sick for a whole day and night."
"It's good that Your Highness is awake..."
Jiang Fenghua glanced around. "Where is Granny Wang? I can't see her."
Everyone was stunned. Lin Yu said, "Fenghua, what's wrong? Granny Wang, she..."
"What's wrong with Granny Wang?" Jiang Fenghua asked, puzzled. "I seem to have forgotten something again."
Lin Yu wanted to call out to Ao Xue, but Ao Xue was busy with Ye Ying's funeral.
Lianye and Hongxiu exchanged a glance. "Your Highness, Granny Wang has passed away. Don't you remember?"
Jiang Fenghua was stunned. "My memory seems to be confused. I can see images of Granny Wang teaching me etiquette, and then images of Granny Wang lying in my arms, coughing up black blood. I also seem to remember that she is still alive and in Kunning Palace."
"I seem to remember now, Granny Wang committed suicide by poisoning herself. How was her body disposed of?" she said in a deep voice.
Hongxiu said, "Your Majesty said you wanted to give Granny Wang a grand funeral and asked the Imperial Observatory to choose an auspicious burial site for her. Doesn't Your Majesty remember that?"
"It seems so. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've been too busy. I even forgot about Granny Wang's funeral."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, thinking, "Oh no, has the Empress lost her memory again? How could the Empress possibly hold a grand funeral for a palace maid in the palace?"
Jiang Fenghua sat up in bed: "Why do you all look so pale? I only slept for a day and a night, and you don't even recognize me? Granny Wang was kind to me, and I will definitely hold a dignified funeral for her."
Lianye was about to say something when Lin Yu quickly stopped her, "How are you feeling now?"
Jiang Fenghua stretched and said, "I feel refreshed and great! I'm not tired anymore, but my throat seems to hurt a little."
She coughed, the pain feeling like a knife cutting her throat: "Water, I want water."
Hongxiu quickly poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her, saying, "Your Highness, drink slowly, don't choke."
Jiang Fenghua took a sip of water, only to feel even more pain. "My cold may be getting worse."
Seeing that Hongxiu and Lianye were serving her, Lin Yu quietly left the bedchamber. It seemed that Fenghua's health was really in trouble.
Jiang Fenghua raised her water glass to drink, concealing the cunning glint in her eyes.

When Lin Yu found Xie Shang, he had just come out of the Golden Palace.
Xie Shang asked, "How did you get here?"
Lin Yu frowned and bowed to Xie Shang, "This humble servant has come regarding the Empress's health."
Xie Shang said, "Come to my study to talk!"
Lin Yu was also very honest. She knew that she was responsible for this matter, and that it was her fault that Jiang Fenghua had become like this.
Upon arriving at the Imperial Study, Lin Yu went straight to the point: "Was the antidote for the Gui Ning Pill that Ao Xue brought back in the Emperor's possession? It seems the Empress's memory is malfunctioning again."
Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with her memory?"
Lin Yu recounted what had happened after Jiang Fenghua woke up, and then said, "I'm really afraid she'll lose her memory again and end up remembering nothing. Does the Guining Pill have any harmful effects on her body?"
Xie Shang never expected Ruan Ruan to have such a confused memory. She remembered things from the past, so would she also remember things from her past life?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Yu said again, "Give her the antidote. Maybe she'll get better. I'm really worried and don't want anything to happen to Fenghua. Compared to her health, nothing else matters. As long as she's safe and sound, that's all that matters."
Xie Shang said, "Gongsun Ling said that the antidote for Guining Pill might also be problematic, so I dare not give it to Ruan Ruan easily."
He was also afraid that Jiang Fenghua would remember the bad things. He originally thought this was a good thing, but he didn't expect it.
Lin Yu said urgently, "What kind of medicine is this? Who developed it? Tell him to find a way to save Fenghua! Aoxue said it was given to her by her master. Is that Mr. Gongsun her master? Tell him to treat her!"
Xie Shang didn't hide anything from Lin Yu, "The person who developed the Gui Ning Pill is named Gongsun Lan. She is Ao Xue's true master and Sun Gongling's sister. She is a free and unrestrained woman. I have already sent people to look for her."
Lin Yu never imagined that she herself had caused Jiang Fenghua's death. She felt extremely guilty. If she had known this would be the outcome, she shouldn't have taken her out of the palace in the first place...
“Or… let’s tell her the truth!” Lin Yu said. “Her memory is confused right now. If she remembers some fragments, we won’t be able to explain it to her.”
Xie Shang said coldly, "No, she has already endured so much. If we tell her more, she may not be able to accept it. Since the mistake has already been made, we must find a way to save her as soon as possible. I believe that Gongsun Ling will definitely find a way to save Ruan Ruan."
Lin Yu said coldly, "What if we can't save her? Are we just going to let her become an idiot who remembers nothing? We don't even know what other serious consequences the Gui Ning Pill might have on her body. What if..."
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ruan Ruan will be safe and sound." Xie Shang's gaze was firm. "I will definitely not let anything happen to Ruan Ruan."
They weren't really sure about it.
Xie Shang took out the antidote for Gui Ning Wan from the drawer. "I will wait for Gongsun Ling to find his sister and treat Ruan Ruan."
He still didn't want Jiang Fenghua to remember her past life. He was afraid she would become cold and aloof. What he dared not face even more was his own heart, because he knew he would always owe Jiang Fenghua something and would always feel guilty towards her.
Wu Xin, who had been waiting outside the palace, had overheard the conversation between the two inside. Now he knew that the medicine to treat the Empress's amnesia was kept in the Imperial Study.
They seem to be hiding something from the Empress. Why does the Emperor also seem afraid?
Wu Xin clenched his fingers and fists. He didn't want the Empress to lose her memory, but even Hongxiu and Lianye wouldn't tell the truth about what had happened to the Empress. They wanted to make her lose her memory.
Now that the medicine seems to be harming the Empress's body, they still refuse to give her the antidote. Wuxin is also very angry that they have been deceiving the Empress all along.
The antidote was hidden in the Imperial Study, where he could come and go freely. Although there were guards protecting him, he was the chief eunuch of Chengqian Palace, and no one would suspect his purpose in entering the Imperial Study if he called out to him!
If he gives the antidote to the Empress, will she remember the past and the fact that they met in the palace when they were young?
But the Emperor just said that the antidote is also faulty, and they are trying to kill the Empress!
The only person he cares about in this world is the Empress; no one can harm her.
