At this moment, a masked figure flashed before his eyes, and Wen Gang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I think there is someone who is very suspicious."
"who?"
"That genius doctor Lingjun in Fengyi Palace." He whispered, "He had just entered the palace when the emperor's private storehouse was robbed. How could it be such a coincidence?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianshun shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could she move all the treasures from the warehouse by herself? Do you have a brain?"
Wen Gang was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will go check it out right now."
Emperor Tianshun clenched his fists, looked at the door of the private storehouse, and held his forehead with his hand. His head pounded. He stood up, felt dizzy, and fell straight down.
The news of the emperor's fainting spread throughout the palace in an instant. The empress, Concubine Zhao Guifei, was pregnant and could not attend to the emperor, so this difficult task fell on Concubine Shufei.
When Shang Ruoyi heard the news in Fengyi Palace, her brows raised slightly. She didn't expect the emperor to be so resilient. Tsk tsk tsk, it saved her the trouble of poisoning her.
She had originally planned to take a stroll around the Yang Palace when she had time and give the emperor some deadly but torturous poison, so that he would not want to cause trouble for Prince Ding's Palace in a short period of time.
Unexpectedly, he fell ill without any effort.
The queen looked at her and whispered, "Did you take the things from the palace?"
"Your Highness really thinks highly of me." She handed the written list to the head nanny: "Take one dose a day before lunch."
Common people?
How come she didn't notice it at all?
"Since you can remove poison, you must have a master. Who is your master?"
"Is it difficult to remove the poison?" Shang Ruoyi shrugged. "To be honest, I really don't have a master. I just liked reading some books on Qimen Dunjia when I was young. To remove the poison, I just figured it out randomly on my own."
Full of lies, the queen leaned back in her chair with a hint of admiration in her eyes, she actually liked this girl's personality a little.
"From your accent, you must be from Beijing."
Shang Ruoyi raised her lips slightly: "My queen, you are from southern Xinjiang, how can you know the dialects of so many places?"
The queen was so angry that she said, "I think you want to save your life, how dare you talk to me like this."
"Your Highness, since you are from Southern Xinjiang, the most important thing is to save your own life first." Shang Ruoyi's tone was full of concern: "If you have done a favor to a family in the past, I will not even bother to look at the book left by the Medical Sage even if it is the Medical God."
The queen was stunned when she heard this. The next moment, she stood up suddenly and walked quickly to Shang Ruoyi: "What is your relationship with the Dingguo Palace?"
"Your Majesty, there are some things that it's better for you to know the answers yourself." An intriguing light flashed in the eyes beneath the mask.
The head nanny stepped forward, supported the queen, and said softly, "My queen, take care of yourself and don't disturb the prince in your belly."
The queen slowly sat on the dragon chair, touched her belly, and whispered: "Okay, I only want to ask you one thing, old princess, is she in good health?"
Old princess?
She was actually asking about the old princess?
Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly, she thought the queen would be Prince Ding He Yuwen.
"The old princess is in good health, and your majesty must be worried."
The queen closed her eyes, tears slowly falling down her cheeks. She said to the head nanny beside her, "Bring me the handkerchief that I have placed in the sandalwood box."
The head nanny paused and said, "Madam." She looked at Shang Ruoyi with suspicion in her eyes, "That handkerchief is so precious to you."
"It's okay." The Queen whispered, "Since she already knows my identity, I have nothing to hide." She looked at Shang Ruoyi and smiled, "Let me guess, is it Heng'er who asked you to come here this time?"
Shang Ruoyi did not answer, and the queen knew the answer.
"What is your relationship with the Dingguo Palace?"
"You'll know later." The queen looked at her with a much kinder look than before, and said lightly: "With your ability, if you hadn't been disfigured, you would be a pretty girl. Marrying Heng'er would be a help, much better than the concubine of that old man Shang. When I think of a noble man marrying a concubine as his concubine, I feel like eating a fly."
Shang Ruoyi looked at her, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
My lady, is it possible that the woman you mentioned, who is as disgusting as a fly, could stand in front of you?
"Have you ever seen that concubine's daughter called Shang something? What's her character like? What does she look like?"
Shang Ruoyi was angry and amused. This queen actually had some love in her.
"The princess is ugly and behaves in a vulgar and unworthy manner. She is not much better than that country woman."
Upon hearing this, the Queen looked her up and down and nodded: "Indeed."
Before she could savor the queen's words, she heard a burst of noisy sounds coming from outside again.
Concubine Zhao was seen walking into Fengyi Palace with a group of palace maids and guards behind them.
The Queen sat upright on the Phoenix Chair, looking at Concubine Zhao who walked in with a smile.
"Empress Zhao, it's really a bit excessive for you to come to pay respects to me with such a big ceremony today. This place is a den of tigers and wolves, why do you need to bring so many people?"
"Greetings to the Queen." Concubine Zhao bowed, and before the Queen asked her to stand up, she stood up on her own, with a smug look on her face: "Your Majesty, I came here the other day to pay my respects to you and to catch that thief!" She waved her hand and looked at Shang Ruoyi: "Catch her for me and interrogate her severely. She must have stolen the treasures from the Emperor's private vault."
Shang Ruoyi expected that she was coming for her, and there was no panic on her face. She walked forward and said with a sneer, "Where is the evidence? If Concubine Zhao wants to arrest me, all she needs to do is show me the evidence."
“Humph, the treasures in the emperor’s private treasury have never been lost, but after you entered the palace, the treasures were stolen. If it wasn’t you who stole it, who else could it be?” Her eyes were fierce: “I’m afraid you won’t confess, so I’ll take you to prison and you’ll confess everything.” She waved her jade hand lightly, and the imperial guards behind her came towards her with swords in hand.
At this moment, the queen on the main seat said in a cold voice: "Stop! I'll see who dares to take another step forward."
Upon hearing this, the guards hurriedly stopped.
"Queen, are you in cahoots with her?"
The queen sneered, "Concubine Zhao, you, a concubine, dared to bring guards armed with sharp blades into my Fengyi Palace. I think you have lived enough."
"I am here to track down the thief."
"You are tracking down the thieves and bringing them to my Fengyi Palace? Concubine Zhao, you are overstepping your authority."
