She stood up and was about to kneel down when Leng Qiyue hurriedly supported her and said, "Big sister, don't be like this. What I mean is that we must find the source of the poison, otherwise your poison will be useless even if it is cured."

A hint of color finally surfaced on Rong Fei's pale face, and she said with some relief, "It's better for little sister to go to big sister's palace and take a look. Big sister really doesn't know how she was poisoned."

Leng Qiyue thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll go take a look."

"Let's go now." Rong Fei really didn't care about anything else for the sake of having a child.

Han Liu quickly followed after Leng Qiyue, who was being pulled along by her.

As expected of the Blue Lotus Palace, the moment he entered, he saw a large artificial lotus pond. The pond was completely green, and there were only a few flowers that were sparsely bloomed.

Most of the furnishings in the palace were yellow, there were gold colored pillars, gold colored tables and chairs, and even most of the vases were made of gold. Thinking about it, Zuo Furong was the Prime Minister's daughter. She shouldn't be bowing her head to the gold. In that case, she purely liked gold.

Leng Qiyue walked around the room and shook her head. "There's nothing abnormal."

They came to the bedroom again. The air was filled with the fragrance of the lotus flowers, and there was nothing unusual about the bedroom.

The palace maid brought a cup of fragrant tea, which Leng Qiyue immediately spat out after taking a sip. Consort Rong frowned and asked, "What happened to little sister?"

Leng Qiyue asked, "Elder Sister, what tea is this?"

Rong Fei said, "This is a Grade 1 Da Hong Pao."

Leng Qiyue shook her head and said, "No, that's not it. The taste isn't right."

Rong Fei took a sip, savored the aftertaste, and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. It's probably because the people in the palace aren't the same as those outside."

Leng Qiyue wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. She thought to herself, "How is this a Da Hong Pao? If you don't believe me, I'll drag you down with me."

Rong Fei asked, "Don't mind the tea, did little sister find the root of it?"

Leng Qiyue shook her head. "No, but I can give you a prescription to remove the poison." If you get infected again, tell me where you've been, what you've done, and what you've eaten in the past ten days. "

"Alright, then I'll be troubling my little sister. Someone, write and wait upon us. " Rong Fei said helplessly.

Leng Qiyue wrote down the prescription. Because she wanted to use poison against poison, there were a few poisonous herbs in the prescription. She then said, "Elder sister, you can only eat one serving of this recipe. Because one can cure the poison, if you eat more, you will be poisoned. "Because the herbs in the prescription are also poisonous."

Rong Fei carefully kept the prescription, then said to the palace maid, "Use a sedan chair to send your imperial concubine back." She then turned around and said to Leng Qiyue, "Many thanks, sister. I will remember your kindness."

Leng Qiyue couldn't stand Rong Fei's gaze and hurriedly sat on the palanquin and left.

It was already dark by the time she returned to the cold palace. Leng Qiyue simply washed up and fell asleep, while she heard the ruckus outside. Just as she sat up, the door was slammed open and two Imperial Guards came in to drag Leng Qiyue out of bed and into the courtyard.

Dongfang Haotian stood there with a dark expression. Behind him was a group of Imperial Guards carrying torches.

"Why me?" Leng Qiyue looked at Dongfang Haotian and questioned.

Dongfang Haotian said coldly: "You tried to poison Rong Fei, so you deserve to be punished for your crimes. "To the death row."

Leng Qiyue's heart turned cold. Indeed, this palace was a minefield. One wrong step could cause one to lose their life.

When Leng Qiyue went to the Jade Magnolia Temple, she did not bring Han Liu with her. As a result, she had avoided danger and had secretly found Xue Ling to discuss how to save Leng Qiyue. Xue Ling had no choice, but he said something to make Han Liu not so worried. He said, "Xiao Yue'er is not such a stupid person. Since she dares to prescribe medicine, she will definitely have a solution."

After Leng Qiyue was sent to the Sky Prison, she forced a smile. Not long after she left, she actually returned to this damned place. However, this time, there was no high bed and soft pillow, so he could only curl up on the straw to rest.

The next day, Leng Qiyue was taken away before she even had time to eat. This time, she was brought to the Palace of Virtue. Since there was no Empress within the imperial harem, she was the one who had to step in to settle the disputes between the concubines.

The empress dowager's face didn't look very good, and so did Dongfang Haotian's. Leng Qiyue knelt on the ground and watched the imperial doctors on the right side holding the prescription as they discussed amongst themselves.

In the end, an elderly imperial physician appeared. He took a few steps forward and bowed towards the emperor and the empress dowager, saying, "This humble subject and the rest have studied the formulas carefully, but most of them contain poison, but they're not too heavy. Esteemed Empress Rong wouldn't have been poisoned if you used this formula to capture medicine."

"Nonsense, I did use the medicine in the prescription, and it was even prepared by the pharmacist. Why is my abdominal pain so severe that I have to vomit several times after taking it?" With the support of the two palace maids, Rong Fei walked in shakily.

The empress dowager glanced at her and stopped her from saluting. "There's no need for Imperial Concubine Rong to be so courteous. Someone, come and take a look."

Rong Fei thanked him, then sat on the chair and glared at Leng Qiyue, as if she was looking at the person who had killed her entire family.

Rong Fei's expression suddenly changed from anger to grief, and she said sorrowfully, "Little sister, why are you so heartless? When you were in the cold palace, my sister ordered the imperial kitchens to prepare additional dishes for you. I was afraid that you would deliver the quilts to me, so why did you lie to me when I came to see you yesterday? My sister trusted you so much that she asked you to give me a prescription for cough and phlegm, but you gave me poison instead. "Big sister even wanted to beg the empress dowager to let you out of the palace after the prescription you gave big sister worked. Alas, it was your selfishness that hurt yourself!"

Leng Qiyue sneered in her heart. No wonder there were so many bedding, clothes, and dishes in the cold palace these few days. So it was all part of her plan.

The empress dowager said, "Esteemed Empress Dowager Rong, the imperial physicians just looked at the prescription and said it was no problem. Why is there a problem when you eat it?" The empress dowager was obviously helping Leng Qiyue.

Rong Fei's expression changed again, she thought to herself, "Impossible, I've clearly removed the few medicinal ingredients and left behind the poisonous portion to eat. Although it won't kill me, it will still be very uncomfortable. Why did the imperial physician say that the prescription was correct? "

When Dongfang Haotian saw that Consort Rong didn't speak, he also asked, "Consort Rong, shouldn't you have an explanation?"

Rong Fei said, "Your majesty, chenqie's abdominal pain is as if it's been wrung by medicine and has vomited continuously several times. These people from Blue Lotus Palace are all witnesses. If chenqie wasn't poisoned, how can you explain that? "

Dongfang Haotian looked at the imperial physician and asked: "Which one of you gave Rong Fei a pulse?"

The old imperial physician stood out again and said, "Reporting to the emperor, it was this old subject who showed Esteemed wangfei Rong the pulse yesterday."

Dongfang Haotian continued to ask, "Then, do you think that Concubine Rong has been poisoned?"

The old imperial physician replied, "In reply to the emperor, Esteemed Empress Rong was indeed poisoned."

Dongfang Haotian frowned when he heard this. This old imperial physician was truly a kind person, couldn't he explain things in detail?

The old imperial physician lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. The empress dowager then spoke up, "Su Yan, when can your habit of sparing your words like gold be changed? Can't you just ask? Why don't you tell me in detail why Princess Ronghong was poisoned? "

The old imperial physician was actually called Su Yan. When he saw that the empress dowager was complaining, he hastened to say, "To reply Esteemed Empress Dowager, the poison had nothing to do with the prescription. It's because she ate unclean food that it causes the poison."

"Impossible …" Rong Fei wanted to say something, but she stopped herself when she saw the unfriendly expression on Dongfang Haotian's face.

Dongfang Haotian said, "Men, bring out everything that Rong Fei ate yesterday."

The eunuch replied and left. After a while, two eunuchs came up carrying a large wooden tray with a teapot, medicine pot, snacks and other items on it.

Su Yan did not wait for the order and directly walked over to inspect it. Finally, he used a silver needle to pick out a two inch long centipede from the teapot.

The moment everyone saw this, they all understood that Rong Fei was poisoned because of the tea with the centipede on it.

Dongfang Haotian gave a cold snort and said: "The palace already strictly forbids you from asking for medical treatment in private, did Rong Fei forget?

Rong Fei's expression turned ugly as she vomited continuously, but she couldn't spit anything out. She wasn't willing to admit that her meticulously planned plan had been defeated by a centipede. Even the Emperor had begun to criticize her for looking for a doctor on her own accord. She rolled her eyes and thought of a plan …

"Your Majesty, yesterday she said that chenqie was infected with a poison that would cause her to lose her virginity. That's why chenqie was able to grab the medicine she gave me to eat. This chenqie is also very impatient and wants to add a man and a woman to the emperor's side. "

A trace of ridicule actually flashed through Dongfang Haotian's eyes. The empress dowager frowned and said, "Su Yan, give Rong Fei a treatment and see if she's poisoned."

Su Yan walked up to Concubine Rong and closed his eyes to carefully examine her pulse. A moment later, he bowed to the empress dowager and said, "Reporting to the empress dowager, esteemed empress dowager's body is currently weak, but there are no signs of poison."

The empress dowager waved a hand. "Enough, all of you leave."

The imperial physicians all withdrew. Dongfang Haotian coldly snorted and said: "Consort Rong, you've gone too far."

Rong Fei secretly gritted her teeth as she glared hatefully at Leng Qiyue, only to see her smiling at her smugly and complacently.

When Dongfang Haotian saw that Leng Qiyue was still kneeling, he said, "Stand up, aren't you going to explain yourself?"

Leng Qiyue stood up and bowed to the empress dowager and Dongfang Haotian. "Chenqie is not wrong. I don't know how to explain this."

Rong Fei snorted angrily and shouted, "Impossible, I tore off the side of the prescription and removed a few medicinal ingredients. The rest are poisonous, how can I drink them all?"

When these words came out, everyone looked at her, even the empress dowager gave Rong Fei a peculiar look.
