Chapter 49 The Concubine is Poisoned



Today it was Su Jingyao's turn to take a medicinal bath again. She sat leisurely in the bathtub, leaning back slightly and leaning against the wall of the tub.

Nanny Li stood by, gently stretched out her hands and massaged her body.

"Master, there are spies from Yiku Palace in Zhaochun Palace." Nanny Li said in a flat tone, looking down on these spies.

"Oh? How did the concubine get in?"

Su Jingyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

The imperial concubine probably didn't train anyone in the Eastern Palace before. The kind and simple heroine used to disdain to do these calculating things.

"Ping'er in our palace originally worked in the Eastern Palace. At first, I didn't know if Ping'er was the Imperial Concubine's person, so I didn't control Ping'er's movements very strictly."

Nanny Li spoke while gently pressing Su Jingyao's shoulders.

"Ping'er thought she went in and out of Zhaochun Palace without being seen, but in fact, I had someone secretly following her."

"She and Qin'er, the first-class maid in the imperial concubine's palace, meet every five days. They are also very cautious, and the forms of their meetings are different." Nanny Li lowered her voice slightly and spoke slowly.

"Ping'er is only a second-class maid in Zhaochun Palace. She can't even enter the palace normally. Is there any news about me that she could know?"

Su Jingyao's eyes were filled with disdain and her tone was slow.

She originally distrusted everyone in Zhaochun Palace, and only those closest to her knew some of her plans and calculations.

"Ping'er naturally didn't know about the master's affairs, but I asked someone to leak some information to Ping'er, which was half true and half false. Ping'er went to see Qin'er five days later." Nanny Li continued to speak softly without stopping her hands.

"Last time, the master instructed Miaoyun to tell the imperial concubine that His Majesty was going to take you out of the palace on the master's birthday. It was Ping'er who did it."

"Yes, that really has nothing to do with me."

Su Jingyao closed her eyes, her face full of satisfaction and a smile on her lips.

"Master, what if the imperial concubine does nothing?" Nanny Li frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

"The Imperial Concubine had no plans in the Eastern Palace before. Even if she wanted to be a servant, I'm worried she wouldn't find a way."

Su Jingyao didn't speak immediately, but just gave a meaningful smile.

If the imperial concubine really did nothing, why would Qin'er be so eager to find out the news about her Zhaochun Palace?

Moreover, she pushed Jun Zechen to Yikun Palace on the first night of Jun Zechen's ascension to the throne, just to let Ling Yue know clearly that Jun Zechen was not sharing part of his love for her with others.

Instead, he directly fell in love with someone else.

It is impossible for the imperial concubine to give up her feelings for Jun Zechen easily. She can only feel Jun Zechen's preference for her through certain things.

When a woman becomes jealous, she can be very scary.

Besides, jealousy is not something Ling Yue can easily control.

The second day.

The sun is shining brightly, and warm rays of light are pouring down.

In the courtyard of Zhaochun Palace, many magnolia trees are in full bloom. Some are as white as snow, while others are delicate and pink. They complement each other and look really beautiful.

"Master, His Majesty sent you three sets of folk-style dresses yesterday. Please choose which one to wear today."

Miaoxia spoke softly, and at the same time pushed out a hanger with three dresses hanging on it and placed it in front of Su Jingyao for her to choose carefully.

Su Jingyao raised her eyes slightly and slowly swept her gaze over the three dresses. The red one was as bright as fire, the white one was as pure as snow, and the light blue one was fresh and elegant.

After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "Let's go with white."

She has to act pitiful today, and this white thing will help her get into the role quickly.

"Yes, Master."

Miaoxia responded obediently, and then began to dress up Su Jingyao carefully.

After dressing casually yet exquisitely, Su Jingyao set off.

Because the fact that Jun Zechen took her out of the palace was not publicized. After all, the Queen Mother was still alive. If the Queen Mother knew about this matter that obviously violated the palace rules, she would definitely have a bad impression of Su Jingyao.

Jun Zechen obviously took this into consideration, so he deliberately did not publicize the matter.

Su Jingyao sat in the carriage, and a eunuch beside Jun Zechen led her to a secluded place to wait.

She had specially brought a lot of food today, and even took out a book to pass the time.

Palace of Heavenly Purity.

Anshun looked anxious and hurried into the hall.

At this time, Jun Zechen had already changed into folk costumes, which made him look even taller and more handsome, with his posture as straight as a pine tree.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Anshun's voice was full of panic.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but frown, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "What's wrong?"

"The imperial concubine is now unconscious!" Anshun's voice was trembling.

When Jun Zechen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he raised his leg and walked quickly towards the Yiku Palace.

His face was filled with gloom and his eyes released endless coldness.

Anshun followed closely behind, his face also full of anxiety.

Your Majesty was supposed to accompany Concubine Chunshu out of the palace today, so why did something happen to the Imperial Concubine again at this time?

When Jun Zechen arrived at Yiku Palace, he saw Ling Yue lying pale on the bed, and his voice was filled with anger.

He shouted loudly: "What's going on!"

After he ascended the throne, he had always felt guilty for not enthroning Ling Yue as queen due to various reasons.

Now, less than a month has passed, and she is lying in bed unconscious because of these private matters in the harem.
