Chapter 294: Encounter; Ma's Poisoning
"You go back and rest. Jin Bao will come over."
Jinzhong nodded and returned to Wufang in a daze. He couldn't understand why Wei Yanwan was so eager to please the emperor.
Didn't she wish he was dead?
Jinbao looked at his lost expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable, and the master asked me to come back and rest."
Jinbao nodded: "Okay, then I'll go over and take your place."
"Thanks."
Jinbao: "We are brothers, why are you being so polite?"
"When I get married, just give me a big red envelope." Jinbao said jokingly.
Jinzhong nodded: "Sure."
After Jinbao left, Jinzhong lay on the bed, staring blankly at the beams.
In the end, Ling Changzai became the scapegoat in the incident where Concubine Hui was cursed.
Hongli was furious and gave her a cup of poisoned wine and asked her to end her life.
Wei Yanwan returned to Yongshou Palace, and later Li Yu came with the emperor's reward.
"Hello, Lady Lingpin. The Emperor sent these to you, saying they would be a relief for you."
Wei Yanwan nodded: "Thank you for your help, Eunuch Li. Take this." As she said that, she grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and handed them to Li Yu.
Li Yu took it and said, "Thank you, Madam Lingpin. I will not disturb you any longer."
Li Yu met Rong Pei on the way back to the Yangxin Palace.
"Eunuch Li Yu, which palace are you going to?"
"The Emperor asked me to go to Yongshou Palace to deliver something to Concubine Ling. Did you go to the Imperial Household Department?"
Rong Pei nodded: "Yes, I brought back some cloth. Her Majesty said she wanted to make some clothes for Concubine Hui's children."
"The Queen is so tired, not only does she have to manage the harem, but she also has to take care of so many people."
Rong Pei smiled and said, "The position of queen is not that easy to sit on."
Li Yu: "Then... I'll go back first."
Rong Pei bowed her head: "Eunuch Li, please."
In Xianfu Palace, Gao Xiyue had just woken up and Ma was already waiting at the dining table.
She asked, "Did you sleep well?"
Gao Xiyue nodded and let Mo Xin help her sit down: "Well, mother has been sleeping soundly these days."
"I was worried. That day, I saw the Empress making such a decisive judgment, but in the end, she found some ghost. Even I could see that person was a scapegoat."
"Mother, the palace is different from home. You have to be careful about what you do and say. Even if you know, just pretend you don't know."
Ma held Gao Xiyue's hand, her eyes full of heartache: "I knew that Your Majesty would be wronged in this palace."
"I shouldn't have agreed to let you marry him."
Gao Xiyue: "Mother, I will protect myself. Besides, there is the Queen. Don't worry, no one in this palace can bully me."
Ma nodded with tears in her eyes: "Of course I know, but people's hearts are hidden, you can't just believe her blindly."
"Mother, to be honest, I didn't trust her before. I even helped the late queen bully her. But then something happened that made me realize that she is the one I can trust."
Mrs. Ma: "You have grown up... cough cough..." As she was speaking, she suddenly started coughing and then spit out blood.
"Eniang!"
Jiang Yebin was not on duty today. He was at home playing with his children when people from the palace came looking for him.
Suo Xin grabbed his arm and said, "Be careful."
Jiang Yubin patted her hand and said, "Don't worry."
The poison that Ma was poisoned with was exactly the same as the one that Gao Xiyue was poisoned with before, except that the dose was much larger this time.
