Song Yichen looked at Shen Kouqing who was a little absent-minded, and asked again in a gentle voice, "Did you discover something?"

He, who was always sharp and quick-witted, quickly saw through something from Shen Kouqing's expression.

Reaching out his hand to brush away the hair on her forehead, Shen Kouqing's neck shrank back as he muttered to himself: "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I'm just taking a look. Today, I specially invited a few imperial cooks to come to the mansion and cook some of your favorite dishes."

"Really."

Shen Kouqing's eyes lit up, what sshe usually liked to eat was Hui Cai, he didn't think that Yue Yang would actually remember it.

"Hmm, you can put yourself in my shoes, shouldn't I do something for you?"

Although Shen Kouqing felt a little awkward hearing this, even her ears turned red.

But looking at Song Yichen's sincere and longing expression, he knew that Song Yichen was not lying to him.

However, she had loved the wrong person in her previous life, so she didn't dare to act rashly. She could only wait for him to approach her step by step.

She had that selfishness in her heart, and hoped that Song Yichen could slowly open her heart.

It was already dusk.

When Shen Kouqing and Song Yichen arrived at the table, Shen Kouqing was so overjoyed that the corners of her eyes almost spilled out.

But from Song Yichen's expression, it seemed that something was wrong, and his face was somewhat pale.

Thus, he asked out of concern, "What happened to you?"

Thinking about the last time he pretended to be sick to scare him, he obviously wouldn't take the bait so easily this time.

"It's fine. You can eat first. I'll just watch."

Song Yichen gave a forced smile in return. Looking at Shen Kouqing, Shen Kouqing felt that it was a bit strange.

He slowly breathed out and realized that his pulse was slightly disordered.

"Don't circulate your energy right now."

Shen Kouqing knew what he was about to do with a glance, so she quickly warned him. When she heard her words, Song Yichen silently breathed a sigh of relief.

"When the poison in your body is about to circulate, remember not to use your inner force to suppress it. It will only backfire."

Shen Kouqing looked at him with confidence, her face was pale white, she nodded, felt a sharp pain in her chest, and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Shen Kouqing was already used to it, thus she quickly took out a silver needle from the hairpin on his head and inserted it into his Tian Yin Acupoint.

After temporarily alleviating the flow of the poison in his body, Shen Kouqing took a deep breath, his palms were already covered in sweat, and he was not the least bit nervous.

"How are you feeling?"

Shen Kouqing asked gently, with a look of worry on her face.

"It seems to have calmed down quite a bit …"

Song Yichen's gaze was focused on her body, but his beautiful face was a little blurry.

Subconsciously, he gently placed his hand on her waist and fell into her embrace.

Shen Kouqing was shocked, and then she muttered: "Don't you act like a hooligan."

Shen Kouqing raised her tender jade-like finger and poked his head. There was no reaction, it seemed that she had really fainted.

With Song Yichen's physique, if not for him, he really did not know how much longer he could have lived.

Shen Kouqing could not help but laugh bitterly, but her body had calmed down a lot, and was not as intense as before.

After comforting Song Yichen, Shen Kouqing took Song Yichen's identity plate and stuffed it into her own sleeves, then quickly went to the imperial palace. With the identity plate of the emperor's eldest grandson, he would be able to enter the imperial palace and have a lot of freedom.

"Greetings Royal granddaughter consort. His Majesty's body is currently unwell, and is not suitable to receive guests. I hope that Royal granddaughter consort can wait until Your Majesty's body becomes more stable before coming again."

As the gatekeeper said this, Shen Kouqing squinted her long and narrow phoenix eyes, which flashed with a trace of crafty light.

"See this?"

Shen Kouqing took out his Song Yichen's identity plate. After all, Song Yichen was the most beloved grandson of the Emperor.

"This is the medallion of the Emperor's eldest grandson."

The eunuch replied in a low voice, indicating that he wasn't blind either.

Shen Kouqing smiled with satisfaction, Qing Yan's little face blushed a little.

"The Emperor's eldest grandson thought of the royal grandpa's illness, but due to his own body's unwell, he was unable to come to visit. He specifically told me that I must come to visit the royal grandpa in order to bring the situation back.

When the eunuch heard her words, his expression instantly froze.

"I dare not, since it is the will of the emperor's eldest grandson, then this little one can only do as I say." Royal granddaughter consort, please! "

Shen Kouqing glanced at him complacently, and stepped in with big steps, his expression returning to its normal state.

The eunuch followed closely behind and said, "Today, when the emperor was in the morning assembly, he suddenly fainted again."

"And then?"

Shen Kouqing asked anxiously, her eyes continuously looking at the Emperor's Dragon Couch.

When she got closer, the eunuch bowed to her and said, "The imperial physician just left, and Royal granddaughter consort came over. However, that imperial physician said he didn't find anything and told the emperor to drink more soul calming medicine. It's probably due to overwork these days."

Shen Kouqing's lips moved slightly. Only ghosts would believe such perfunctory words.

But the imperial physician didn't dare to lie. Perhaps he really hadn't found anything. Thinking up to this point, a bad idea flashed through his mind.

"Eunuch, please do not tell anyone about me visiting the royal grandpa today."

As Shen Kouqing spoke, she placed the handkerchief onto the emperor's hand.

"Yes."

His pulse was steady, as if nothing was out of the ordinary. However, this made him feel very strange. Everything seemed so calm, yet he felt very surprised.

"What did the royal grandpa eat these days?"

Shen Kouqing turned her head and asked.

The old eunuch replied respectfully, "In reply to Royal granddaughter consort, these few days, the emperor's appetite has not been good. He has only eaten a few relatively mild staple foods."

Shen Kouqing nodded her head. It seemed like the emperor's appetite had not been good lately, so there was a greater possibility of him being poisoned.

Shen Kouqing quietly moved her hand down and realized that his heartbeat was beating a little faster. However, it suddenly stopped for a few seconds, as if there was no sound at all.

His face turned slightly pale.
