Chapter 277: The Last Plan
In Jingyu Palace.
Emperor Rongcheng gave the "antidote" to Jiang Xianhao to take.
Everyone looked at Jiang Xianhao nervously.
An hour later, Jiang Xianhao finally slowly opened his eyes.
When Emperor Rongcheng saw Jiang Xianhao wake up, he quickly summoned the imperial physician.
"Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician..."
The imperial physician hurried forward, and after feeling the pulses one by one, they all looked at each other with frowns, then muttered to themselves.
"What's going on?"
"Why is the pulse so strange? The Queen has clearly woken up, but why does the pulse still look like she's been poisoned?"
Several imperial doctors immediately knelt down and told Emperor Rongcheng about the strangeness of the pulse.
Emperor Rongcheng then mentioned what Concubine Hui had said about taking the medicine for seven days to detoxify.
Although the imperial physician was puzzled, seeing that Jiang Xianhao had woken up, he thought it was because of the antidote, so he decided to wait until tomorrow to see him again, and then he withdrew.
After the imperial physician left, Emperor Rongcheng could no longer hold back and directly hugged Jiang Xianhao in his arms.
But Jiang Xianhao couldn't pretend at all at this time. He pushed Rong Chengdi away, turned his head and spoke in a cold voice.
"Your Majesty, I just woke up and feel unwell. Your Majesty is very busy, so it is better for you to go back and deal with government affairs as soon as possible."
Emperor Rong Cheng paused, a look of hurt flashed across his face, and he couldn't help but step forward and hold Jiang Xianhao's hand in his own.
Jiang Xianhao immediately pulled his hand back in disgust.
"Your Majesty, I... don't want to see you now."
Jiang Xianhao turned his head and looked at Emperor Rong Cheng, tears streaming down his eyes.
The tears were silent, and the eyes were filled with pain.
It seemed like a silent question.
Emperor Rongcheng felt ashamed and did not dare to look at her directly, so he immediately turned his head away.
He felt a dull pain in his heart and subconsciously took a step back.
"I...I...since you are not feeling well, I will go back first. I will come to see you tomorrow."
As he spoke, he instructed all the palace maids and eunuchs in Jingyu Palace to take good care of Jiang Xianhao.
He also ordered Dexi to go to the Imperial Household Department to get some precious medicinal herbs before leaving.
After Emperor Rongcheng left, Jingtan and Yunshu could no longer hold back their tears and simply threw themselves on Jiang Xianhao's body and burst into tears.
"My lady, why are you so stupid?"
"How could you take poison yourself?"
It turned out that at the door of the cold palace, Jiang Xianhao grabbed Jingtan's hand just before he fainted and stuffed a pre-written note into her hand.
Only then did Jingtan and Yunshu realize that Jiang Xianhao's vomiting of blood and poisoning were actually caused by her on purpose.
The antidote is hidden in her dressing box.
Following Jiang Xianhao's instructions, they secretly fed her the antidote after Emperor Rongcheng left.
Jiang Xianhao finally woke up.
But despite this, Jingtan and Yunshu were still frightened. They were afraid that Jiang Xianhao would never wake up again, so they lay on him and cried bitterly.
Jiang Xianhao looked at Jingtan and Yunshu who were crying sadly, with a bitter look in his eyes.
"I kept it from you because I knew you wouldn't let me."
Jiang Xianhao gently stroked their hair.
"Don't cry, I'm fine now, right?"
Jingtan raised her head when she heard that.
"I don't know what Concubine Hui gave you to eat. What if it was poison? What should I do then?"
Jiang Xianhao chuckled when he heard this.
"If it's really poison, that would be great."
"I did all this just to force her to take action."
She sighed.
"You all know my body well. I won't live for many more days. In that case, I might as well make the most of my death."
"As for me, I have never been with Hechuan since then, nor have I been a qualified mother to him.
In that case, I will simply make every effort to plan for Hechuan at the end of my life."
"I hope to drive Concubine Hui into a corner and reveal all her cards. I can then catch them all in one fell swoop and completely resolve Hechuan's worries."
After she finished speaking, Jingtan and Yunshu immediately raised their heads, their faces pale.
"Your Majesty..."
Jiang Xianhao looked at them.
"Look inside my makeup box."
"The two boxes over there are reserved for you."
“You have followed me for so many years. If I leave and you still want to stay in the palace, then go to Rongyang.
I feel relieved that you are watching over me."
"If you don't want to stay in the palace, then let the prince let you out."
"After leaving the palace, you can get married, start a business, or live your own life."
Jingtan and Yunshu's tears flowed like pillars with broken strings.
"My lady, please stop talking."
"We don't want to go anywhere. We want to stay by your side and protect you."
Jiang Xianhao had a smile on his face.
"Don't cry, be obedient. I'm fine now, and it's not over yet. When I really die, it will be too late for you to cry.
Now, you must hurry up and report to Li Ce!"
Jingtan nodded, wiped her tears and stood up.
She can't cry.
She must protect the queen well and never let her die.

Wanhe Hall.
Emperor Rongcheng frowned as he looked at the memorials piled up like a mountain on the imperial desk.
It's been several days.
These ministers argued endlessly about the rumors, which gave Emperor Rongcheng a real headache.
This made him extremely anxious and increasingly irritated.
Of course, even though there was no evidence, he guessed that this matter must be related to Prince Rui.
Although he was full of dissatisfaction, deep down in his heart, he still felt a little relieved.
He was relieved that Prince Rui had finally become a little smarter and could finally keep his composure, which gave him the illusion that Prince Rui might also be able to inherit the throne.
But this was also the main reason why he knew it was King Rui who did it, but he never did anything to him.
Just as Concubine Hui said, he still didn't dare to pass the throne to Chen Hechuan with complete confidence.
Judging from the current trend, this is a complete dead end.
Shen Hechuan was completely trapped in a passive situation.
A prince who was deeply involved in bloodline rumors could not be protected even if he wanted to.
Just when he was in a state of panic.
At this time, Dexi hurried in.
"His Majesty."
Dexi showed a happy expression on his face.
Emperor Rongcheng couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"But what happened?"
"Your Majesty, the rumors in Tiandu have changed."
Emperor Rongcheng was puzzled.
"Changed?"
Dexi then told Emperor Rongcheng everything that had happened in the past few days.
When Emperor Rongcheng heard those incredible rumors, he frowned and seemed to be suppressing a hint of anger.
But when he learned that Prime Minister Wang had arrested all the people and explained, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result, the rumor was reversed, completely clearing up the rumors about Shen Hechuan.
This method made Emperor Rongcheng stand up immediately in surprise.
"Good plan."
"Is this the work of the prince?"
Dexi shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I have already ordered someone to investigate this matter.
In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still on his way back, and is quite far from Tiandu, so he probably can't arrange things so conveniently."
