The medicine bowl in his hand shrunk slightly.

”Get up.” Mo Hua saw it in his eyes, and calmly opened his mouth: ”What's inside this medicine bowl?”

”To reply Your Majesty, this …” This was the tonic prescribed by the Royal Hospital. When the Esteemed Empress Lan heard that the Lady Qiong was sick, she specially ordered this servant to boil a set of tonic medicine and send it over. ” Xi Yan stood up and replied respectfully.

She had come into contact with this Imperial Consort Lan before, and had been in close contact with him for three days. From a direct impression, this Imperial Consort Lan was a very tactful person, and had a very good personality. Although it was understandable that Imperial Consort Lan did not come to their doorstep when the news of Imperial Consort Qiong's loss of favor spread.

Ye Qiongjiang could understand even if it was the Blue Mist Palace who had been trying to pick a fight with him earlier. No matter how magnanimous Imperial Consort Lan was, she would probably resent her for her kindness.

This time, when she was sick, the Imperial Consort Lan could still get someone to send her tonics and medicine, it was truly precious.

Ye Qiongjiang thanked him sincerely.

However, Xi Yan hesitated for a moment and did not let go of the medicine bowl.

”What is it? Is there anything else you need? ” Mo Hua's gaze became deeper as he asked with an indifferent tone.

Ye Qiongjiang also looked at Xi Yan strangely.

Xi Yan suddenly kneeled down, and said, ”It's this servant's fault. This medicine … This pill cannot be given to Lady Qiong to drink. ”

”Isn't this medicine used by the Royal Hospital? You've already sent it here, why can't you drink it? ” Without even needing the emperor to speak, Qing An tried to decipher the sacred intent, and had already questioned him harshly, ”But what's wrong with this medicine? What intention do you have to send this problematic medicine to the Lady Qiong? ”

”NO!” It's not like that! ” A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on the corner of Xi Yan's forehead. She glanced at Qing An, then immediately lowered her head and bowed at Huang Dimohua's feet. This pill was definitely made in accordance to the formula given by the Royal Hospital, and was personally made by this servant. There's absolutely no problem. ”

”If that's the case, why can't I drink from Lady Qiong?”

”That's because …” Xi Yan lifted his head to look at Ye Qiongjiang, who was similarly puzzled, and once again lowered his head and said fearfully: ”It's this servant's fault. Just now, when I entered the hall, a gust of wind suddenly blew past. This humble servant wasn't thinking well, so I should've used a veil to send it over. This servant was only worried about Lady Qiong, and that's why … Only now … ”Your servant should boil another bowl before sending it over to the esteemed mistress …”

Ye Qiongjiang smiled and looked inside the medicine bowl. It was a dark brown colored medicine, thick and clean, and did not seem to be covered in dust. Furthermore, even if there was a little dust, she would not pay attention to it, ”Stand up and speak. ”You don't have to be so restrained in here. I don't think there's anything wrong with this medicine, so there's no need to boil it again. You can bring it here.”

”This …” Xi Yan still hesitated, she bit her lower lip and knelt on the ground, unwilling to move forward.

Fang Chun, who was standing at the side, snorted. She took a step forward, snatched the medicine bowl from her hands, and said: ”Our Empress has already forgiven you. How is it proper for you to be stuck on the ground like this? ”

She passed the medicine bowl onto Imperial Consort Qiong's hands and muttered softly, ”Back then when I said bad things about Jade Dew Hall, I didn't see you being so anxious for our Empress.”

Although she spoke softly, her words were just loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.

Xi Yan saw that she could not stop it, the medicine bowl had already reached Imperial Consort Qiong's lips. It stole a glance at the emperor and fiercely bit its lower lip, a trace of ruthlessness appearing in its eyes.

Ye Qiongjiang slightly tilted the medicine bowl in her hand, her red lips just barely touching the medicinal liquid.

Then, all of a sudden, his hand lightened and that medicine bowl appeared in Mo Hua's hands out of nowhere. He laughed and said, ”Our body seems to be a little weak as well.

Ye Qiongjiang was startled, and immediately brought the medicine bowl over to drink.

”Your Majesty, no!” Xi Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, turned pale from shock, screaming in panic as she pounced towards the Emperor.

”How dare you!” ”How dare you!” Qing An suddenly raised his leg, and before Xi Yan could pounce even half a step, he was kicked to the ground.

He slightly shook the medicine bowl in his hand, and looked at the dark brown colored medicinal soup that was rippling along the side of the bowl. The corners of his eyes swept towards Xi Yan who was lying on the ground with her hands on her stomach, and she slowly said while holding onto her cold sweat: ”Speak, inside this medicine … What kind of mystery is this? ”

The warm medicinal liquid was still shaking, the sunlight after the rain fell through the window onto the medicine bowl s, it was so bright that it made people's hearts shiver.
