Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 384 No one is allowed to enter or leave the Cining Palace

Cining Palace.

Eunuch Yu went to the firewood room of the Cining Palace in person.

He was very angry when he saw Hongdou, who was tied up tightly, being thrown casually on the ground with a rag stuffed in his mouth.

"Where's your inner strength? Did they drug you too?"

He untied Hongdou himself and questioned her quietly.

The first thing Hongdou did when her hand was released was to pull the rag out of her mouth.

She's so disgusting.

Eunuch Yu is so careless. How can she speak unless he takes out the stuff in her mouth?

After squatting on the ground and dry-heaving a few times, Hongdou realized that she felt better.

She pulled Eunuch Yu aside.

"Eunuch, the Queen Mother wants to harm my wife this time. We can't let her escape again."

Although she didn't know the Queen Mother's plan, Hongdou felt that it was definitely intended to take her mistress' life.

"Don't worry, even the emperor won't let her go this time..."

Thinking of the Queen Mother's sinister plot, Eunuch Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred.

When the two returned to the guest room, they saw Doctor Song coming over.

It happened that he was on duty last night, and he was just about to hand over and go home.

He was dragged here by Xiao Yinzi, who was running and sweating profusely.

That was really a drag, his arms and legs are still shaking now.

Looking at the unconscious Concubine Ye held in the emperor's arms, and the empress dowager with a livid face beside her...

Doctor Song felt that he had a really bad luck this year.

He has encountered such royal secrets twice at the beginning of the year, and he still wants to live two more years.

Doctor Song calmed himself down and began to take Huang Ye's pulse with concentration.

At this time, Eunuch Yu came in with Hongdou.

"Ma'am..."

Hongdou rushed to Huangye and burst into tears.

"It's all my fault for being useless and unable to protect the queen..."

"Your Majesty, our queen is innocent. She was forced by the Queen Mother to drink a bowl of tea."

"You are talking nonsense. You are framing me and I will punish you with death."

The Queen Mother threatened.

Hongdou is not afraid of her threats.

But in front of so many people, I still have to pretend.

"Your Majesty, my queen didn't want to drink that cup of tea at first, but the Queen Mother insisted that she drink it..."

Hongdou glanced at the Queen Mother timidly, then mustered up the courage to continue.

"In order to let my queen drink that bowl of tea, the Queen Mother specially prepared some snacks for her..."

"Everyone drank the tea, so why is she the only one who has problems?"

The Queen Mother is still unaware that she has been exposed and is still trying to make excuses.

"My slave has evidence."

Anko said as she looked at the Emperor.

“Take it out…”

The emperor looked at Hongdou with sharp eyes.

"You are a slave, what evidence do you have?"

The Queen Mother screamed, this was simply too outrageous.

A slave dares to complain to the emperor

Hongdou pulled out a dirty handkerchief from her sleeve.

"When my queen was very sleepy, she accidentally dropped this handkerchief into the tea bowl..."

"I was afraid that the Queen Mother would see it and blame my Queen for not knowing etiquette, so I secretly hid the handkerchief..."

"Later, the Queen Mother came to find me and separated me from my Queen. The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became..."

"you…"

The Queen Mother was speechless and now she regretted it.

She regretted that she did not kill the servant on the spot, leaving this disaster behind.

"Old Yu, take this to the imperial physician for a look."

The emperor looked at Doctor Song who had been taking the emperor's pulse for a long time without saying a word.

What's going on with this Doctor Song?

Is the situation of these yellow leaves very bad?

How could he know that Doctor Song was struggling with his conscience?

This Ye Jieyu's pulse is beating strongly, and there is no sign of anything bad...

But she just closed her eyes and didn't want to wake up. How could he explain this to the emperor?

If he said that Ye Jieyu was pretending to be sick...

Judging from the emperor's behavior, his career as an imperial physician probably has come to an end.

Just as Doctor Song was thinking about how he could talk nonsense to get through...

Fortunately, the senior palace maid named Hongdou produced the evidence.

Doctor Song looked at Hongdou with gratitude.

He took the handkerchief handed to him by Eunuch Yu and sniffed it.

"It's a drug, and the concentration is extremely high. Not to mention a person, even a cow would be knocked unconscious."

Doctor Song cried out in horror.

Although I don't know how Ye Jieyu managed to remove the drug, the amount of drug she used is indeed...

"What would happen if someone drank such a large amount of drugs?"

The emperor also thought of this, and asked with a grim face.

"Your Majesty, if an ordinary person drinks this, they won't wake up..."

The key point is that you, Ye Jieyu, are not an ordinary person. How did she manage to wake up so quickly?

The Queen Mother was dumbfounded when she heard that the man couldn't wake up.

What she was planning today was to catch the adulterer and destroy the reputation of Concubine Ye, not to take her life.

She remembered that Rou'er was also present when she poured the powder into the tea bowl.

When the medicine was brought back, it was said that half of it was a large dose, but she wanted to use only half of it at the time.

Rou'er poured the other half as well, saying that she was afraid that the small dose would not be effective.

This Rou'er really killed her.

"Queen mother..."

The emperor held the person in his arms, feeling extremely distressed, and he shouted sternly.

"I...I just wanted to ruin her reputation, I didn't think I would kill her now..."

The Queen Mother was frightened by the Emperor's expression and couldn't help but speak out what was in her heart.

"Doctor Song, can Concubine Ye... wake up?"

The emperor had no time to pay attention to the empress dowager now. He asked Doctor Song with difficulty.

"this…"

Doctor Song was in a dilemma. Could he say that Concubine Ye was awake now?

Huang Ye, who was pretending to faint in the emperor's arms, couldn't help it anymore.

What's wrong with the emperor? He came over and hugged her in his arms, and held her so tightly.

She wanted to wake up, but the key was...

If she wakes up from the emperor's arms, she will be embarrassed too, okay?

Lying in the emperor's arms, I felt his ups and downs of sadness and excitement.

Huang Ye felt mixed emotions.

She didn't expect that she was so important in the emperor's heart.

She believed that if she couldn't wake up...

The emperor might do something like murdering his mother.

After all, she was just unconscious just now, and the emperor wanted to send the empress dowager to the Ministry of Punishment.

but…

Should she wake up now or not?

This is a problem.

"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for Concubine Jieyu to stay in the Cining Palace now. It would be best to send her to where she lived before..."

Doctor Song looked at the emperor cautiously.

"Perhaps the Concubine came to a familiar place and saw familiar people, and then she woke up?"

He hoped that Concubine Ye was smart and could understand his painstaking efforts.

He could only help her so far.

"Go to Ningyuxuan."

The emperor strode out holding Huang Ye.

"Old Yu, surround the entire Cining Palace for me. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
