Rong Fei knew that she had leaked the information, so she quickly kneeled on the ground and said, ”Chenqie knows her wrongs. Chenqie doesn't dare to do it again.”
Dongfang Haotian coldly snorted and said: ”It seems like you're too comfortable being a concubine. You might as well be a palace maid. If you have something to do, then you won't think about harming others every day.”
”Esteemed empress dowager, chenqie truly knows her wrongs. I beg the empress dowager to be merciful …”
Leng Qiyue frowned slightly. Why was Rong Fei's request to the empress dowager and not Dongfang Haotian? Could it be that the empress dowager's authority was greater than the emperor's? She raised her head and glanced at Dongfang Haotian. Sure enough, his face was very ugly.
The empress dowager looked at consort Rong and sighed. ”Your majesty, please spare her once on account of the fact that consort Rong is your wife. Let her go to the buddhist hall and copy the Heart Cleansing Curse a hundred times, will you?”
Dongfang Haotian said faintly: ”The empress will arrange for me to return to the Wolong Palace.”
After Dongfang Haotian left, the empress dowager asked, ”Why isn't Imperial Concubine Rong copying the scriptures at the Buddhist hall yet?”
Rong Fei hurriedly kowtowed, ”Yes, yes, chenqie will go now.” With that, she got up and hurried to the buddhist hall.
Just as Leng Qiyue was about to leave, the empress dowager said, ”You stay. This Dowager has something to ask you. Take a seat.”
Leng Qiyue sat down helplessly and waited for him to ask.
The empress dowager took a sip of tea and slowly asked, ”What's the matter with Imperial Concubine Rong's prescription?”
When Leng Qiyue heard this, she knew that the empress dowager must have suspected her. She had always been acting dumb and obedient in front of her, pretending to be completely unscheming. She must have suspected her.
Leng Qiyue lightly smiled and replied, ”Reporting to the empress dowager, before chenqie entered the palace, she was once the personal disciple of Elder Du Xian. That's why she knows a bit about medicine and poison. Big sister Rong Fei heard from somewhere that she came to find chenqie and got chenqie to prescribe a cure for her. ”
”Oh?” The empress dowager stared at Leng Qiyue and asked again, ”Then was Concubine Rong really poisoned? She said that she removed a few medicinal herbs from your prescription, so why did she cure you of her poison? ”
Leng Qiyue feigned anger. ”Esteemed empress dowager, it's true that chenqie wrote prescriptions for big sister Consort Rong. It's just that chenqie has a habit of writing down toxic ingredients and then writing down non-toxic supplementary ingredients. ”chenqie was afraid that big sister Concubine Rong's body wouldn't be able to withstand the poison, so she added some non-toxic tonics at the back. I didn't expect her to tear it away.”
Her Majesty looked at the prescription on the table. Indeed, the size of the white paper was not right. A piece of it had been torn off at the side. She laughed coldly, ”Looks like Rong Fei has become a vile character. That's good too, let her learn a lesson, if not, how will she manage the harem in the future? Could it be that he caused trouble every day just to get jealous? Alright, go back to the Cold Palace and rest first. This Dowager has her own plans for your matters. ”
When Leng Qiyue heard this, she stood up, saluted, and silently withdrew. Her heart beat like a drum, and she wondered what the Empress thought. Before she reached the cold palace, she saw Han Liu looking at her from the doorway.
Seeing that Leng Qiyue had returned unharmed, Han Liu breathed a sigh of relief. She stepped forward and said, ”Empress, you scared this servant to death.”
Leng Qiyue smiled and said, ”What are you afraid of? Am I not a fool? The harem has no true feelings. ”
Han Liu closed the doors to the palace and asked, ”Empress, how did you escape?”
Leng Qiyue lazily laid on the imperial concubine's chair and said, ”Actually, I had kept my trump card when we first started, and was also testing Rong Fei. At that time, I intentionally wrote down the poison ingredients together with some supplements. I didn't expect that she would really plot against the prescription. She tore apart the few medicinal herbs needed to make up for the poison and ate the rest, but she did not know that this happened to cure her poison. However, although the poison has been dispelled, without any tonic, I'm afraid that she will have diarrhea for a few days. ”
Han Liu laughed. ”It seems that the Empress has learnt to be quick-witted. She knows to guard against people!”
Leng Qiyue jokingly scolded, ”Damn girl, are you saying that I've become very stupid before?”
Han Liu smiled but didn't say anything, admitting it.
After resting for a while, Leng Qiyue suddenly thought of something and asked, ”Han Liu, when is the new year?”
Han Liu was stunned. ”New Year?” What's a new year? ”
Having been defeated by her, Leng Qiyue helplessly replied, ”It's the biggest holiday of the year.”
