C40 (1/2)

The Imperial Consort Lan was poisoned?!

It was like a stone that gave rise to a thousand ripples.

The emperor ordered a thorough investigation.

”His life was saved?” Mo Hua raised his head from the scroll, ”Could it be that her condition isn't too good?”

Qing An held his breath, and bowed once again: ”Your Majesty, Esteemed Empress Lan has heard about Xi Yan wanting to poison Imperial Consort Qiong, and is feeling very uncomfortable. So when I just woke up yesterday, I asked for my guilt and went to the Sky Prison. ”

”What?”

Mo Hua was slightly angry, ”She went to the Sky Prison despite being his concubine, what kind of logic is that?”

Seeing the Son of Heaven angry, Qing An was also helpless, ”Your Majesty, please do not be angry. Esteemed Empress Lan refused to come out after she went to the Sky Prison, and no matter how much you try to persuade him, he will not leave. The old servant did not dare to forcefully drive her away. Afraid that the remaining poison in Esteemed Empress Lan's body had not cleared up and her illness would relapse, the old servant could only give the Empress a private residence in the Sky Prison. He let the Begonia follow him in to serve her. ”It should be fine.”

Mo Hua frowned, he then sighed and said, ”Forget it, I will go see her myself.”

The Sky Prison, of course, was not located in the imperial harem, but in the west side of the imperial palace, close to the palace walls. Although it was small in size, the entire prison was cast from iron that was an inch thick.

There was always a squadron of ten imperial guards outside patrolling the place with strict security. This was a prison for felons. Not to mention a living person, even a fly wouldn't be able to fly out.

He first pressed his hand on it, testing if it felt softer, and could also block the cold air from the stone bed. Then, he turned around and helped the pale Imperial Consort Lan to sit down.

”Empress, why must you go through all this trouble?” ”Sky Prison, the cold air is so heavy, and you haven't even recovered from your poison …”

Imperial Consort Lan's body was still very weak. When she sat down, she swayed a little before sitting down firmly. She panted a little and looked at the flower's worried face and forced out a smile: ”Begonia, I'm fine.”

”You're so pale, and you say that it's all right?”

Imperial Consort Lan suddenly laughed out loud, her eyes showing signs of being broken into pieces, ”Of course I'm fine. How could I be okay? If anything happens to me, Your Majesty … How could the Emperor refuse to come and see me when I fainted due to poison? ”

”I calculated everything, and paid Xi Yan's life. The only thing I did not calculate was, the Emperor was so heartless.”

His heart was in extreme pain.

With her ten years of experience in the harem, she thought that no matter how terrible the situation was, no matter how the emperor treated her, she would still be able to calmly face it and calmly accept it. But at this moment, she finally felt that she was ridiculously wrong, and definitely not as strong as she had imagined.

It still hurts.

”Empress …” Seeing the Imperial Consort Lan's tears, Begonia's heart was in pain, but he didn't know how to comfort her. Since ancient times, the relationship between the emperor and her wife had always been like this. If he could persuade her with just a few words, things wouldn't have progressed to this stage.

She could only go against the rules and hold Imperial Consort Lan in her arms, allowing the weak Empress to find a trace of comfort to lean on.

”I know that the Emperor's heart has always been in the imperial government and has never cared about us concubines. I never expected him to fall in love with me. I only wanted to be able to spend time with him and spend more time together. However, ever since the Imperial Consort Qiong had been conferred the title of Consort, all of this had changed. In the eyes of the Emperor, aside from the Imperial Consort Qiong, there is no one else. ”

”My heart, from the moment I woke up from the poison, when I knew that the emperor had never come to Blue Mist Palace, I heard,” She raised her head, tearfully looked at the flower, and then covered her chest with her hand, ”I heard it too clearly. At that moment, my heart, with a pa sound, broke …”

Imperial Consort Lan's eyes that were filled with grief did not have a single trace of light, making Begonia feel flustered. She had only seen this kind of gaze once on those death row prisoners who were about to be put to death, ”Empress, don't let your thoughts run wild. Your Majesty, His Majesty … Maybe it was because the government was too busy and they couldn't get out. ”Maybe he is heading here right now!”

”Really?” As if Imperial Consort Lan heard what the Chinese flower said, a ray of hope suddenly lit up in her dull eyes.

”Mm, really, really, the emperor will definitely come.” Begonia hurriedly nodded vigorously.

At this moment, a series of ”Greetings, your majesty!” suddenly came from outside the cell.
