Blue Mist Palace.

The fragrance of ice orchids spiraled upwards, causing the entire chamber to be shrouded in smoke, making the hall appear more like a paradise on earth.

Silence.

Begonia was about to advise again, but Imperial Consort Lan had already cut him off: ”This matter, I have already thought it through clearly and carefully. Imperial Consort Qiong's illness was already within my expectations. The Polygonum multiflorum Thunb given to her by Imperial Consort Hui would have its own bad luck.

Now, when Xi Yan is delivering the medicine, although I had ordered her to do so, with her personality and her loyalty to me, during this period of time, the Blue Mist Palace had been suppressed by the Imperial Consort Qiong. She had long hated him greatly, and this time, when she delivered the medicine to the Imperial Consort Qiong, hehe, it would be hard to not add some poison that would cause her death upon entering her throat.

If Imperial Consort Qiong drinks it, and happens to completely get rid of her, Xi Yan's death would be worth it. ”

”If the Imperial Consort Qiong really died after drinking the medicine the Empress sent someone to deliver it, Xi Yan would undoubtedly die, but the Empress …. Isn't that also a part of it? ”

Looking at the transvestite's face, Imperial Consort Lan's smile became even more gentle, ”What if I get poisoned too?”

Her gentle smile was like the sweetest poison: ”From the moment the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb is sent out, this is the method that I have set up. The medicine that Xi Yan sent over, whether or not there was poison, whether the Imperial Consort Qiong drank it or not, would not hinder my plans. If Imperial Consort Qiong did not drink it, or drank it but had no poison in it, then that would not matter. After all, she only felt a little hot, it's not that serious. Compared to the poison in this palace, the Emperor will definitely pay more attention to my life.

As for the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb … It would keep her sick and his body would gradually weaken. The women of the harem were all lecherous. A beautiful woman was easily aged, not to mention that she had always been sick. It won't be long before the Emperor can't even remember where the doors to the Jade Dew Hall are. ”

”Someone come! Someone come quickly! ” Half a moment later, in the tranquil Blue Mist Palace, the heart wrenching scream of Begonia suddenly sounded out. ”The Empress is vomiting blood! The Empress had been poisoned! Someone come quickly! ”Help!”

”Esteemed Empress Lan is completely unaware, it was this servant who poisoned Lady Qiong's medicine, it has nothing to do with Esteemed Empress Lan. This was all because … Imperial Consort Qiong had only just entered the palace, her days were shallow, but she was able to receive the emperor's love. However, Esteemed Empress Lan had already been with the emperor for more than ten years, and for no reason at all, she was being bullied by the Jade Dew Hall.

This servant knows that doing so is a crime worthy of death! But, if I can exchange this life of mine for the death of Lady Qiong, this slave will have no regrets! ”

Xi Yan knelt on the ground, her forehead still dripping with cold sweat, but she spoke with determination, her eyes not showing any signs of fear.

Inside the Jade Dew Hall, it was absolutely silent.

The emperor sat without moving, the medicine bowl in his hand had already been placed on the table beside him, while the Imperial Consort Qiong was supported by the obviously terrified Fang Chun as he sat on the bed.

”Humph!” You are quite loyal to Imperial Consort Lan. ” Mo Hua squinted his eyes, his face was gloomy like water, ”If we like anyone, if we don't like them, it's your turn to care? Ten years. Ah, in the ten years of time, have I ever owed the Imperial Consort Lan? Even if you act in such an obedient manner, you will still resent our Imperial Consort Qiong today. If you resent us in the future, won't you be poisoning us as well? ”

”This servant doesn't dare!” Xi Yan kowtowed deeply.

”You don't dare? ”I can see that it's not that you don't dare, it's just that you don't want to!”

Mo Hua sneered, and said: ”For the matter of poisoning Imperial Consort Qiong, other than you, I will also severely punish you. This Phoenix Seal, I think, is not suitable for Imperial Consort Lan to handle. ”

”No, Your Majesty, Esteemed Empress Lan knows nothing. It was this servant's own idea! I beg the emperor not to implicate the Esteemed Empress Lan. ” Xi Yan became anxious, and crawled over to Mo Hua's feet with just two steps, but she did not dare pull at his pants, and only forcefully kowtowed. ”Esteemed Empress Lan truly did not know anything, she was extremely concerned about Lady Qiong's sickness, and did not have any intentions of harming Imperial Consort Qiong at all. If the Emperor wishes to punish me, then please punish this servant alone! ”

Ye Qiongjiang lightly glanced at Xi Yan, then looked at Mo Hua, ”Please calm your anger, your majesty. In this matter, chenqie requests the Emperor to bypass Xi Yan. ”

Mo Hua looked at her in surprise. Xi Yan who was kowtowing stopped, and looked at Imperial Consort Qiong in shock. She never thought that Imperial Consort Qiong would actually plead on his behalf.

Fang Chun found it difficult to understand as she couldn't help but gently hold Imperial Consort Qiong's hand, ”Empress, you … Xi Yan is going to kill you... ”

Ye Qiongjiang was not moved, she only looked at Mo Hua and said: ”On the basis of her loyalty, it is understandable, furthermore, Chenqie was not truly harmed by the poison, I plead for Your Majesty to forgive Xi Yan.”

”Poison my concubine, this is no small matter. If you are going to spare my life this time, in the future …” Wouldn't the imperial harem be putting everyone in peril? ” Mo Hua shook his head. How could he let such a thing go so easily?
