Inside the Jingyu Palace.
Emperor Rongcheng gave the "antidote" to Jiang Xianhao.
Everyone watched Jiang Xianhao nervously.
An hour later, Jiang Xianhao finally slowly opened her eyes.
When Emperor Rongcheng saw that Jiang Xianhao had woken up, he immediately summoned the imperial physician.
"Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician..."
The imperial physicians hurriedly stepped forward, and after taking each of their pulses, they all frowned, exchanged glances, and then muttered to themselves.
What's going on?
"Why is her pulse so strange? The Empress has clearly woken up, so why does her pulse still sound like she's been poisoned?"
Several imperial physicians immediately knelt down and told Emperor Rongcheng about the strangeness of the pulse.
Emperor Rongcheng then brought up the matter of taking the antidote for seven consecutive days, as mentioned by Consort Hui.
Although the imperial physician was puzzled, seeing that Jiang Xianhao had woken up, he assumed it was due to the antidote and decided to wait until tomorrow to see her again before leaving.
After the imperial physician left, Emperor Rongcheng could no longer resist and directly embraced Jiang Xianhao.
Jiang Xianhao, however, could no longer pretend. She pushed Emperor Rongcheng aside, turned her head, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Your Majesty, I have just woken up and am feeling unwell. Your Majesty is busy with many affairs of state, so please go back to handle them as soon as possible."
Emperor Rongcheng paused, a hurt expression flashing across his face. He stepped forward and took Jiang Xianhao's hand in his own.
Jiang Xianhao immediately pulled her hand back in disgust.
"Your Majesty, I... do not wish to see you right now."
Jiang Xianhao turned her head to look at Emperor Rongcheng, tears streaming down her face.
Tears flowed silently, but deep sorrow filled her eyes.
It seemed to be a silent question.
Emperor Rongcheng felt ashamed and dared not look directly at her, so he immediately turned his head away.
He felt a dull ache in his heart and instinctively took a step back.
"I...I...Since you are not feeling well, I will go back first and come to see you again tomorrow."
As he spoke, he instructed all the palace maids and eunuchs in Jingyu Palace to take good care of Jiang Xian.
He then instructed Dexi to fetch some precious medicinal herbs from the Imperial Household Department before leaving.
After Emperor Rongcheng left, Jingtan and Yunshu could no longer hold back and burst into tears, clinging to Jiang Xianhao.
"Your Majesty, how could you be so foolish!"
How could you take poison yourself?!
It turned out that at the entrance of the Cold Palace, Jiang Xian had grabbed Jing Tan's hand just before he fainted and slipped a pre-written note into her hand.
Jing Tan and Yun Shu then realized that Jiang Xianhao's vomiting of blood and poisoning were actually caused by her.
The antidote was hidden in her dressing case.
Following Jiang Xianhao's instructions, they secretly fed her the antidote after Emperor Rongcheng left.
Jiang Xianhao then woke up.
Despite this, Jing Tan and Yun Shu were terrified, fearing that Jiang Xianhao would never wake up again. They clung to him and cried uncontrollably.
Jiang Xianhao looked at Jing Tan and Yun Shu, who were crying their hearts out, and her eyes stung with tears.
"I kept it from you precisely because I knew you wouldn't allow it."
Jiang Xianhao gently stroked their hair.
"Don't cry, I'm alright now, aren't I?"
Jing Tan looked up upon hearing this.
"I wonder what Consort Hui fed you. What if it was poison? What should we do then?"
Jiang Xianhao chuckled upon hearing this.
"If it were really poison, that would be good."
"I did all this to force her to take action."
She sighed.
"You all know my body condition; I don't have many days left to live. Since that's the case, I might as well make my death serve its greatest purpose."
"I was never by Hechuan's side again, nor was I a good mother to him."
Since that's the case, then I might as well do my best to plan for Tsurukawa one last time before I die.
"Hopefully, we can drive Consort Hui to desperation and force her to reveal all her cards, so we can wipe her out in one fell swoop and completely eliminate Hechuan's worries."
After she finished speaking, Jingtan and Yunshu immediately looked up, their faces turning pale.
"Your Majesty..."
Jiang Xianhao looked at them.
“Go and look inside my makeup box.”
"Those two boxes are for you."
"You've followed me for so many years. If I leave, and you still want to stay in the palace, then go to Rongyang's side."
With you all watching over things, I feel at ease.
"If you don't want to stay in the palace, then let the Crown Prince release you."
"After leaving the palace, whether you get married or do business, go and live your own life."
Jing Tan and Yun Shu's tears flowed like a broken string.
"Your Majesty, please stop talking."
"We don't want to go anywhere else, we just want to stay by your side and protect you."
Jiang Xianhao had a smile on her lips.
"Don't cry, listen to me. I'm fine now, it's not over yet. You can cry when I'm really gone."
Now, you all need to hurry and inform Li Ce!"
Jingtan nodded, then wiped away her tears and stood up.
She can't cry.
She must protect the Empress well and absolutely not let the Empress die.
******
Wanhe Hall.
Emperor Rongcheng frowned as he looked at the mountain of memorials piled on his desk.
It's been several days already.
The ministers argued endlessly over the rumors, giving Emperor Rongcheng a real headache.
This left him extremely stressed and increasingly irritable.
Of course, even without evidence, he guessed that this matter must be related to Prince Rui.
Although he was full of dissatisfaction, deep down he still felt a little relieved.
