In her previous life, Jiang Si died on a trip to Baiyun Temple with Princess Qi to burn incense. Until now, she could not forget the out-of-control carriage, the strong wind on the edge of the cliff, and the woman in front of her who sneered and pried open her hands that were tightly grasping the edge of the cliff, leaving her to fall into the abyss.

She learned from Princess Qi how ugly human nature is and how vicious people's hearts are.

What she was not sure about before was how much role Concubine Xian played in it and whether she was involved.

Jiang Si thought so and looked at Concubine Xian.

Today, many speculations seem to be answered.

When Concubine Xian saw Jiang Si looking at her, she coughed softly and said weakly, "Go with your fourth sister-in-law. Just think of it as praying for the seventh son. The south is not stable..."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Si sneered secretly.

Very good, she is now certain that in her previous life, in addition to Princess Qi, Concubine Xian must have been involved in her death.

Listen to what Concubine Xian said, and even dragged A-Jian into this. Is this because they are afraid that she will reject Princess Qi?

Jiang Si looked at Concubine Xian indifferently and pursed his lips.

Maybe Concubine Xian is the main messenger.

Of course, it didn't matter to her who was the mastermind between Concubine Xian and Princess Qi. Anyway, neither of them could escape, so she just had to kill them both.

Seeing Jiang Si's half-smile, Concubine Xian frowned slightly and said weakly, "Seventh Old Wife, if you don't want to go out, forget it. Burning incense requires sincerity, there is no reason to force it."

Jiang Si smiled slightly: "Of course, your daughter-in-law is willing to pray for you."

She kept her eyes on each other and caught a fleeting smile in Concubine Xian's eyes, a smile that came from relaxation. She couldn't help but feel a little sad: these two people, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, are afraid that she won't fall into their trap.

"I wonder when Fourth Sister-in-law plans to go?" Jiang Si's eyes turned and fell on the face of Princess Qi.

Princess Qi was stared at by those clear eyes like glass. She felt as if she had nowhere to hide and her heart was beating uncontrollably.

Afterwards, I felt deeply regretful again.

What was she feeling guilty about? It was her mother-in-law who was the one who wanted to kill Princess Yan, not her. Besides, someone like Jiang was not suitable to occupy the position of Princess Yan. Even without her mother-in-law's calculations, she would have failed sooner or later. Now it was just ahead of schedule.

Thinking of this, the slight guilt that Princess Qi felt disappeared, and she smiled gently at Jiang Si: "Why not go in two days, or see if Seventh Brother's wife is more convenient."

Jiang Si smiled and said, "It's not inconvenient for me. I have to pray for the queen as soon as possible. So let's do it two days later."

Princess Qi suppressed her excitement and nodded: "Seventh brother's wife, then it's settled. I will wait for you at the gate of Prince Yan's mansion in two days."

She thought it would take some effort to convince a troublemaker like Jiang, but she didn't expect the other party to agree so easily.

Thinking of this, Princess Qi became more confident about her plan for two days later.

It's definitely a good sign that things are going so smoothly at the start.

Seeing Jiang Si agreed, Concubine Xian also breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her brows and said, "I'm tired too, you guys go back."

Princess Qi bowed to Concubine Xian and said, "Then I will take my leave. Take care of yourself, mother."

Concubine Xian nodded slightly and glanced at Jiang Si.

Jiang Si bent his knees slightly and walked behind Princess Qi. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned back, which surprised Princess Xian.

"What?"

Jiang Si smiled and said, "I am so careless that I forgot to ask what disease the queen has."

Concubine Xian's face darkened slightly. She resisted the urge to twitch her lips and said calmly, "It's not a serious illness. The imperial physician said it's just a cold."

"Uh, I wonder what illness the queen has?"

Concubine Xian was frightened by Jiang Si's question. She thought she had been found out of her pretense. She looked at him carefully and saw that there was nothing wrong with his face. She heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's just a fever and a headache, cough cough——"

"Is that so? Then your Majesty, take good care of yourself and I will come to the palace to see you tomorrow." Jiang Si said with a smile.

Concubine Xian coughed and said hurriedly, "No need. You can come back after you and your fourth sister-in-law have offered incense."

She had already achieved her purpose of pretending to be sick, and she didn't want Jiang to come to the palace again. Jiang was quite cunning, and if she was found to be pretending to be sick, the scheduled incense-burning trip might be disrupted.

What's more, pretending to be sick in public is very tiring - Concubine Xian thought so after finally getting rid of her two daughters-in-law.

Of course, there was no fever or headache. The imperial physician who diagnosed her was someone who often came to Yuquan Palace and was bribed by her.

Some benefits, some irrelevant lies, these doctors will not be ignorant of the refusal.

"Hongye, bring me a glass of water." Concubine Xian half sat up and ordered her personal maid.

Hongye immediately served a cup of hot water.

Concubine Xian took the cup of water, brought it to her lips and took a sip. Suddenly, her whole body froze, as if an iron rod had been hitting her head.

The sudden severe pain caused her hand to loosen and the cup of water fell, hitting the side of the bed and soaking the bedding and clothes.

Hongye covered her mouth and whispered, and asked hurriedly: "My lady, what's wrong with you?"

Concubine Xian turned pale: "Head, headache——"

Hongye was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously glanced at Concubine Xian's expression.

The queen was pretending to be sick, and as a personal maid, she knew it, and she told the outside world that she had caught a cold, had a fever and a headache. This was what the queen said when Princess Yan asked her just now, and she was still listening.

"Your Majesty, Princess Yan has gone far away--" Hongye reminded tactfully.

Concubine Xian was in so much pain that she flew into a rage upon hearing this. She slapped Hongye in the face and angrily said, "You little bitch, call the imperial physician!"

She was in so much pain, but this bitch actually thought she was pretending. What a tactless person she is.

Hongye then realized that Concubine Xian was in real pain, and hurriedly sent someone to call the imperial physician.

Soon the imperial physician hurried over with a medicine box on his back, and saw Concubine Xian lying on the couch with a pale face.

After suffering from a severe headache, Concubine Xian was now sweating profusely and did not even have the strength to speak.

"Doctor, please come and see what's wrong with me. I have a severe headache..."

The imperial physician looked a little strange, thinking that Concubine Xian was too good at pretending. It was obviously fake, but she pretended so perfectly... cough cough, women are really scary.

Thinking of this, the imperial physician moved a little slowly.

"Imperial Physician, why are you still hesitating? Our queen is in great pain!" Hongye urged.

The imperial physician was stunned and couldn't help but look at Hongye.

Hongye nodded vigorously, suggesting to the imperial physician that Concubine Xian was not pretending this time.

The imperial physician hurriedly diagnosed Concubine Xian. After a while, he said with a strange look on his face, "It seems that your cold has worsened, and your fever is worse than before."

It’s so strange, Concubine Xian really has a fever!

After hearing what the imperial physician said, Concubine Xian was also stunned and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her forehead.

There was a burning sensation on my forehead.

Concubine Xian was completely stunned.

What is going on?

She just caught a cold and had a headache and fever. This was originally a made-up illness, but why did she really have a headache and fever now?

As I thought about this, another sharp and unbearable headache came over me.
