"Gu Yunru, please call me Yunru, Madam."
"Yunru, that's a good name. I heard that you are going to be a guest of the palace today, right?"
Yingpin felt very close to Gu Yunru when she saw her. It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to her like this.
"I guess so. I think banquets are boring. It's better to walk around and walk around. I came to the Queen's Chuxiu Palace."
While Gu Yunru was chatting with her, he had already taken her pulse and found out that the reason for her weak qi was poisoning. This poison should be chronic and would threaten her body. It would be difficult for her to conceive if her qi was weak.
"How am I? I heard that your Gu family has been practicing medicine for generations, so you should know something, right?"
Yingpin looked at Gu Yunru's reaction with anticipation, but Gu Yunru's expression was indescribable.
"What happened? Why don't you tell me? You are still keeping our queen in suspense."
Lu Yun urged behind her. Gu Yunru pursed her lips. She hated being urged the most. She turned to Yingpin with a gentle expression and said, "May I ask what medicines have you taken recently? Which imperial physician prescribed them?"
"It was Doctor Hu who came recently. Doctor Hu had been working in the Millennium Palace before, and it was Concubine Shu who asked him to take care of me."
Gu Yunru nodded in understanding, there must be something wrong with this Doctor Hu.
"I don't know if the medicine residue is still there. Miss Luyun, please go and get the medicine residue left by the queen."
When Luyun heard her instructions, she walked out reluctantly and took back the medicine residue.
"Here, these are the leftovers from the medicine that the queen ate these days."
Gu Yunru took the jar and brought it close to her nose and sniffed. The smell was extremely pungent and unpleasant.
"It contains lianhuan, bitter spice, passion fruit, pinellia and dried gardenia. They are all mild Chinese medicines, but putting them together can easily make people weak, always feel slow breathing and chest tightness."
Upon hearing this, Yingpin turned pale and said, "Don't tell me, my chest tightness and shortness of breath have been getting worse these days. I have been taking Doctor Hu's medicine. Since the last time..."
Yingpin didn't intend to speak again when she was halfway through her words. Luyun got anxious and said to Gu Yunru, "Don't you know that bitch from the laundry department actually wanted to harm our queen? She sprinkled some insect-attracting powder on the clothes and attracted all the insects. At that time, our queen was so scared that she couldn't eat for several days and nights."
Gu Yunru knew that they were talking about Biluo, and she came here today to plead for Biluo. Biluo would never do such a despicable thing, but no one testified for her.
"Miss Luyun is a little too excited." Gu Yunru felt that Luyun's excitement was a little abnormal, but it could also be seen as a manifestation of protecting her master.
"Miss Gu, please don't be surprised. Luyun has a bad temper. She will say whatever she wants. She can't hide anything. I didn't expect that Biluo would hurt me like this."
Yingpin coughed weakly when she said this. Gu Yunru paused and said to Yingpin, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding about this matter."
"Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding could there be? I treated her well in the past. I never thought she would harm me like this."
After saying that, he patted his chest, and the resentment in his eyes dissipated a little.
Lu Yun hurriedly stepped forward and patted Yingpin's back, and said to Gu Yunru unhappily, "You came here today. You didn't come here to plead for Biluo, did you?"
Gu Yunru couldn't help but wonder, was she so obvious? However, there were indeed many doubts and misunderstandings in this matter that had not been resolved.
"Empress Ying, please listen to me. When Biluo was packing your clothes, someone else had the opportunity to poison you. Your Majesty cannot ignore the real culprit and let him go unpunished."
Yingpin wiped the corners of her mouth with her silk handkerchief again. When she heard what Gu Yunru said, she slowly raised her autumn eyes and said weakly, "It seems that you really came to plead for Biluo. Whether Biluo is wronged or innocent is not important anymore."
"Then please let her go. Concubine Shu has been trying to get Biluo to confess. Biluo doesn't know how to use medicine, and no one has found anything in her room."
Gu Yunru looked at Concubine Ying's expression, which did not change at all.
"I understand. I will tell Concubine Shu about this."
Concubine Ying is really considerate. Gu Yunru raised her eyebrows and then sniffed the fragrance in the room.
"Miss Gu, what's wrong?"
Concubine Ying looked at Gu Yunru who seemed to be looking for something in the room. After a while, she found a key thing.
"Excuse me, Madam, what is this?"
"This is a rare flower outside our Great Wall. It is a rootless grass that emits a fresh fragrance when soaked in water."

"I didn't expect there are flowers like this in the world." Gu Yunru was amazed at Chuxiu Palace. She couldn't help but marvel at this rootless flower in the pot.
"Empress Ying, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
Gu Yunru noticed something strange in the room and thought that she should tell Concubine Ying the truth so that she could be mentally prepared.
"Just tell me what you have to say. I won't blame you."
Concubine Ying is kind and approachable, which makes Gu Yunru feel extremely comfortable.
"In fact, I felt something was wrong in the house from the first step I took when I walked in. I think the problem lies with the rootless flower."
When Lu Yun heard this, she hastily retorted, "What do you mean? The rootless flower was brought by the queen from outside the Great Wall."
"Aunt Luyun, please don't be anxious. Listen to me first. The fragrance of this rootless flower can soothe people's restless and nervous mood, but if you use it too much, you will inevitably feel dizzy and weak. In addition, the medicine that the queen drinks will occasionally cause hallucinations, but the condition is not that serious yet."
"Does what you say mean what you mean? What makes you draw such a conclusion?"
Lu Yunmei said angrily, as if she had already developed a prejudice against Gu Yunru at first sight.
"Lüyun, don't be rude. Go and wait outside the door." Yingpin knew that Luyun was impatient and didn't like strangers approaching her, so she simply sent her to stand at the door.
Luyun snorted twice and stood at the door. Gu Yunru shrugged her shoulders and came to Yingpin and said, "My queen, you must pay attention to the prescription sent by Doctor Hu in the palace, and you must let Miss Luyun check the prepared medicine carefully. You should not drink it for the time being."
"But why did Concubine Shu treat me like this?"
Yingpin asked with a puzzled look on her face. Gu Yunru looked at her like this and couldn't help but feel a little sorry. No wonder the emperor loved her so much. It was a pity that coming to the complicated harem and experiencing such intrigues and deceptions was really exhausting.
"It is common for women in the harem to be jealous of each other. The emperor favors you so much that it is inevitable that others will be jealous. Your Majesty, please be careful in the palace."
