"Your Majesty, the poison has been used up." Aunt Su answered truthfully.

The queen was furious: "Come here, castrate Zhao Xiang!"

The angry voice frightened Aunt Su half to death: "Madam, spare my life. Three days from now will be the day when I get the medicine again. I promise to get the poison back. Please leave me a descendant."

"I hope you didn't lie to me this time, otherwise I will never let you off easily!" the queen threatened.

"I would never dare to lie to Your Majesty, even if I were beaten to death. Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty." Aunt Su begged for mercy.

"You go back to the East Palace to serve as usual. If you get the poison in three days, I will release your son!" said the Queen majestically and domineeringly.

"Yes, I promise to get the poison."

Aunt Su left, and the Queen was extremely angry.

"Your Majesty, are you just going to forgive Aunt Su like this?" asked Nanny Zhong.

"If I didn't want to get evidence to overthrow Concubine Xuan, I would have torn her and Zhao Xiang into pieces right now. Three days later, I would have captured them all in one fell swoop!" There was a hint of ruthlessness in the Queen's eyes.

"Your Majesty is wise, but Concubine Xuan is the most cunning and treacherous. It would be bad if she denies it or turns around and bites back. It would be better for Your Majesty to tell His Majesty about this and let him catch the murderer on the spot. Wouldn't that be the best evidence?" Nanny Zhong reminded.

The Queen raised her eyebrows and said, "You have followed me for so many years. Even if Concubine Xuan doesn't admit it, His Majesty won't believe her anymore. Let Concubine Ji make some noise in the next two days to prevent Concubine Xuan from noticing the East Palace."

"Yes." Nanny Zhong went to do it personally.

After receiving the order, Concubine Ji naturally obeyed it. The hostility between the Queen and Concubine Xuan had been going on for more than a day or two, and the Queen was finally going to take action against Concubine Xuan.

"Take the purse I embroidered earlier and go out for a walk." Concubine Ji said.

"Yes." The maid immediately took out a few purses.

Concubine Ji went directly to the Imperial Garden. The sky was clear and the air was fresh today. There were several concubines sitting and chatting in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden. Among them happened to be Concubine Xiang and Yu Ronghua.

Jipin walked over and said, "Sisters, you look so excited."

"Concubine Ji, you are here. I heard that you were caned in public by Concubine Xuan a few days ago. Are you feeling better now?" Concubine Xiang asked heartlessly.

Jipin looked a little unhappy: "The wound on my back hasn't healed yet."

"Empress Xuan is so cruel. We are all sisters in the harem. Why does she use such harsh measures against her?" Concubine Xiang said sympathetically.

Yu Ronghua frowned and said, "Lady Xiang, you should say less. Be careful not to say anything that may cause trouble."

Xiang Guiren curled her lips and said, "I know, Sister Zhao. Hey, Concubine Ji, what is your maid holding in her hand?"

"That is the purse I embroidered. I originally wanted to give it to everyone, but I was afraid that everyone would think I was unlucky. After all, I was punished by Concubine Xuan not long ago, so I haven't given it to anyone yet." Concubine Ji replied.

"How could we dislike you? If you hadn't discovered that the ointment was poisoned, Yu Ronghua and I would never have known it was poisonous. Speaking of which, we should thank you for the fact that the Queen collected the ointment from all the sisters in the harem. Otherwise, everyone would have used it and been poisoned, and someone would have succeeded." Concubine Xiang said generously, reaching out to pick up a purse.

"This style is really beautiful. You are much better at needlework than I am. Give this to me."

"Since my sister doesn't mind, I'll give it to you." Jipin replied.

"Sister Yu, please choose one too." Concubine Xiang said as she handed over one.

Yu Ronghua took a look at the purse and took it: "Thank you very much, Concubine Ji."

"You're welcome, sister."

When the other concubines saw this, they came over to choose, and soon all the purses were given away.

"The embroidery is really good. It can be compared with that of Madam Zheng from the Imperial Clothing Bureau. I heard that Madam Zheng is currently busy making wedding clothes for Prince Mo. The entire Imperial Clothing Bureau is busy with it. Even our clothes have to be put on the back burner!" said a concubine.

"After all, she is His Majesty's favorite. We all have to stand aside."

"I don't know what tricks Concubine Xuan used to make His Majesty favor her so much."

"No matter how much you favor me, flowers don't last forever."

The concubines were talking about it, and Jipin saw the right moment and spoke: "Aren't you curious about what Prince Mo's wedding dress looks like? Even the new clothes of us concubines have to stand behind, there must be something special about it."

"Aren't wedding dresses red?" Xiang Guiren retorted.

"I heard that Concubine Xuan spent a lot of money this time, adding gold and pearl threads shipped from the Great Yan Kingdom to her wedding dress. It is said that it can glow at night, which is amazing."

"I've never seen a wedding dress that glows. Aren't you curious about what it looks like?"

"How about we go and take a look?" Jipin suggested.

The other concubines were naturally curious and agreed.

Yu Ronghua frowned: "This is not good. If Empress Xuan knew about this, she would definitely punish us."

"Sister, we are not going to cause any trouble. We are just going to watch from a distance. Nothing will happen." Xiang Guiren suggested.

"I think your suggestion is very good. I will go with you." Concubine Ji agreed.

When the other concubines saw this, they were also moved: "We will go too."

As everyone was talking, they stood up and left. Yu Ronghua saw that she couldn't stop them, so she had to give up and she didn't follow them.

Concubine Xiang led all the concubines and went straight to the Shangyi Bureau.

The palace maids immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, ladies and gentlemen."

"Where is Prince Mo's wedding dress?" Concubine Xiang asked straight to the point.

Madam Zheng frowned and said, "My Lord, Prince Mo's wedding dress is inside. It has just been completed and my husband is about to send it to Concubine Xuan."

"Take us to see it."

"I'm afraid this is not a good idea?" Madam Zheng looked troubled.

"Why? We can't even take a look at the wedding dress. We are just curious about what the glowing wedding dress looks like. We won't touch it, we just want to take a look." Concubine Xiang snorted coldly.

Nanny Zheng had no choice but to agree: "Okay, please follow me, my lord."

Jipin suddenly covered her stomach and said, "Sister, I suddenly feel urgent. I want to go to the palace first?"

"Then let's go and take a look first, and you can come back to us later." said Xiang Guiren.

"Okay." Jipin turned and left.

Concubine Xiang and the other concubines followed Nanny Zheng and left. They did not notice the coldness on Concubine Ji's mouth.

When Concubine Ji came back, Noble Lady Xiang and other concubines were all shocked by the workmanship and fabric of the wedding dress, and several concubines couldn't help but touch it with their hands.

Of course, they just touched it lightly and didn't dare to touch it too much or damage it.

Concubine Ji did not come closer, but just watched from a distance.

"He is worthy of being the prince most valued by His Majesty. Even his wedding clothes are so special." Concubine Xiang sighed.

"Who made Prince Mo have a good mother?"

At this moment, the other concubines were extremely envious. They watched for a while before leaving.

Xiang Guiren couldn't help but sigh: "The Concubine Xuan is the favorite of His Majesty, and Prince Mo is the prince that His Majesty cares about the most. I'm afraid we will have no way to survive in the future."

"Sister, what you said is wrong. We are still young and can return home with our son." Concubine Ji reminded.

"Yes, my wounds are almost healed. I have to think about how to win favor. If I'm lucky and have another child, then there will be hope." Concubine Xiang said with anticipation.
