This was what the empress had in mind, and then she thought back to their conversation today. Although she did not completely believe her words, she had at least believed seventy to eighty percent of them. Imperial Concubine Xiao was just too suspicious.

Although the Emperor doted on Imperial Concubine Xiao very much, and had not been poisoned, it was still the same. Was it really a coincidence that staying in her room during the day, when she was pregnant and the Emperor was poisoned and unconscious?

There weren't that many coincidences in the palace, but right now, she couldn't touch her. After all, Imperial Concubine Xiao still had quite a bit of power in the palace, not to mention that the Emperor was in a coma and the Crown Prince was overseeing the country.

With so many things added together, the entire imperial city's military and civil affairs would surely be thrown into chaos. By then, the crown prince would probably not be able to control them.

The key now was still to rescue Ying'er and find the emperor's antidote.

But as for the antidote, he'd rather hand it over to the Imperial Advisor. What about Shadow?

The empress had not slept well the night before, and her already exhausted body was now even worse off. She had a high fever and had talked in her sleep for the entire night.

When the palace maid mentioned this to Shangguan Qian, she couldn't help but be surprised. She immediately told the palace maid to go get Xue Xuan, and took care of him at the side.

He knew very well in his heart that it was probably because the blow he gave her yesterday was too much. With so many things added together, no one would be able to bear it.

It seemed that he had been in too much of a hurry. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel regret, but there was nothing he could do.

Xue Xuan came quickly. After opening a prescription, he told the palace maid to go get the medicine, then casually said to Shangguan Qian, "I'm afraid the Empress won't be able to bear any more provocation in the next few days."

Although Xue Xuan had seen through his little trick, Shangguan Qian wasn't embarrassed in the slightest. It wasn't hard to figure out what his thoughts were by connecting everything from the beginning to the end. Besides, Xue Xuan was not a simple person in and of itself.

Looking at all the palace maids and eunuchs in the room, Shangguan Qian'er said passively, "I haven't thought this through well, next time I'll definitely pay attention."

If he didn't care, he would have exposed his own mistake. To be exact, it was something he had done on purpose.

Xue Xuan's gaze also only slightly flickered, but he didn't say anything more. He gave some food instructions and left, and from beginning to end, he didn't even glance at Yi Shan who was in the room.

Looking at her disappointed expression, Shangguan Qian could only sigh softly. At this point, the empress had just woken up.

Shangguan Qian helped the empress to sit down, and seeing her lost gaze, he didn't know what to say anymore. The palace maid then brought up the fried medicine, and the empress only glanced at it briefly before asking, "Has Imperial Physician Xue come before?"

Shangguan Qian'er was still stirring up the medicine, and upon hearing her words, he paused for a moment, before saying with both fear and worry: "Qian'Er knows that mother is afraid of her body." Her body was a burden to the crown prince, but the empress did not care about her body. If the crown prince were to find out about my true body, who knows how much pain he would feel. "

The empress gave a smile. "It's all my fault for being inconsiderate."

After that, she cooperatively drank the medicine. In the medicine, there were some herbs used to calm one's mind. However, it didn't take long for the Queen to fall asleep.

As for Shangguan Qian, after giving instructions to the palace maid, he went back to his own room, hastily ate some breakfast, and prepared to pay a visit to Imperial Concubine Xiao.

The empress didn't have any concrete evidence, so she was afraid that she wouldn't dare touch Imperial Concubine Xiao. Thus, it was necessary for her to find this piece of evidence.

"Miss, why do you need to do this?"

Yi Shan had already recovered from her earlier disappointment, following behind Shangguan Qian, glancing at the palace maids and eunuchs as they walked past, she asked softly.

Shangguan Qian had been walking quickly, but because of her words, he paused for a moment, before looking around them. This was the Imperial Palace, of course it was filled with spies, but she did not dare slack off at all.

"I don't want Li Fengyi to get better."

Truthfully, she wanted Li Fengyi to have nothing and fiercely fall from the clouds to the ground. Only by doing this would she be able to dispel the great hatred in her heart.

Her voice was very soft, but it was so ruthless that even Yishan couldn't help but wonder if Shangguan Qian had any deep grudges with Li Fengyi, and if he just didn't want to marry him, that wouldn't be justified … He was clearly the one who wanted to marry him.

Before Yishan could voice out her doubts, Shangguan Qian said softly, "Is this in the palace, or should we be more careful?"

And then, he no longer said anything.

"Qian'er greets the imperial concubine."

He had not expected to meet Imperial Concubine Xiao in the Imperial Gardens. Shangguan Qian was surprised, but he still greeted her respectfully.

"Oh, who do you think I am? Why would Princess Qian'Er have the time to visit the imperial garden? I'm not a big sister." Are you not feeling well? "

His meaning was very clear. He, who should have been attending to the guest on the couch, instead lazily appeared in the imperial garden.

Shangguan Qian'er squinted for a moment, before replying with a smile, "Esteemed Empress just drank the medicine and had just rested. Qian'er wanted to go for a walk, but he unexpectedly ran into the Imperial Concubine. How fortunate."

As he spoke, he gave a look to Yi Shan who was behind him.

"I was also very surprised to meet Princess Qian'Er. If there's nothing else, I might as well accompany you for a walk."

As he said that, he reached out his gold-armored hand. Shangguan Qian was stunned for a moment, but he suppressed the anger in his heart, smiling as he held his up.

What difference was there between this and treating her as a palace maid or a eunuch?

However, Shangguan Qian was clear on the reason for his visit. Without a thorough investigation, she would never give up just like that.

It was worthy of being called the imperial garden. No matter when it was, there would always be so much fresh food. Flower, even Shangguan Qian, a princess who had seen much of the world, couldn't help but be secretly surprised. However, thinking about how Great Yan Empire was currently fighting with the Turks, and this Xiao Mingyue, Imperial Concubine Xiao was actually still in the mood to admire flowers. She was the beauty of a calamitous country.

However, if Imperial Concubine Xiao really was the person Li Fengyi was hiding in the palace with, then everything would be too easy to explain.

She did not care about anyone at all, because she was not a person of this palace.

However, there was one thing Shangguan Qian had no choice but to admit. It was all her guess, she had no basis for it.

Imperial Concubine Xiao had already been in the palace for so many years. As a person who had already learned how to be tactful, how could she, a princess from a foreign country, explore it?

Thinking of this, he could not help but feel anxious.

"Now that I think about it, the first time I met Third Prince, it was also on a mountain of flowers. That kind of scene is something Little Qian would never be able to forget in her entire life." Shangguan Qian's eyes blurred as he looked at the blossoming flower, his small face the size of a palm with a hint of yearning.

"Oh? "Is that so?" Imperial Concubine Xiao raised an eyebrow, perhaps she hadn't expected Shangguan Qian would mention the past.

"Yes, the two of us galloped through the flowery hills, and we were secretly engaged to spend our lives on that hill." Shangguan Qian's face was full of shyness, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at Imperial Concubine Xiao.

Indeed, there was a trace of anticipation in her eyes. In contrast to her anger, two completely different emotions rose in her eyes.

If he really had nothing to do with Li Fengyi, how could he display such an attitude?

Li Fengyi, just how many women did you offend? No, it should be said, how many women have you used to work for you?

The bottom of his heart was desolate. He actually felt a bit of coldness. He felt that Li Fengyi was too terrifying.

"Also …" How romantic. " Imperial Concubine Xiao gnashed her teeth as she spoke. Both her hands were tightly pressed against her own, red marks already appearing on them.

If it were an unintentional person, they would not have discovered that there was something wrong with Imperial Concubine Xiao, but Shangguan Qian had.

It seemed that the main culprit behind the Emperor's coma was Imperial Concubine Xiao. But Imperial Concubine Xiao had been in the palace for so many years. Where did she come from to get rid of her?

Moreover, since she was selected by Li Fengyi and climbed up step by step to the position of Imperial Concubine, Imperial Concubine Xiao's abilities were presumably beyond her expectations.

"Yeah, ever since that time, I must marry him. No matter what the resistance is, I must marry him." Shangguan Qian had a faint smile on his face, but his hands were clenched tightly. His face seemed to be smiling, but it was also stretched taut.

He looked very strange, not as relaxed as before.

"The princess' determination is truly great. However, I know that the third prince has several bosom friends outside. You must be careful." Imperial Concubine Xiao's hand seemed to caress the little girl. The words coming from his stomach sounded a little threatening.

Shangguan Qian also didn't like hearing these words, the usually calm Imperial Concubine Xiao actually thought she mentioned Li Fengyi and fell into disarray?

It seemed that her probing today had been very useful. Although she didn't know how to deal with it, she had at least found the root of the illness. It wouldn't be difficult for her to treat it first.

"I suddenly feel a little tired, let's go back." Imperial Concubine Xiao lost her interest and lifted her hand away from Shangguan Qian's, but she didn't know if it was on purpose or not, but the fingertip cut the back of Shangguan Qian's hand. A blood-red mark instantly appeared on his flesh, so much so that it seemed to be bleeding profusely.

Shangguan Qian's face turned cold for a moment, he was truly a woman who did not want to lose out!

"Yo, I was really careless and injured the princess' hand."

Although Imperial Concubine Xiao had said that, there was no hint of shame in her eyes. Shangguan Qian had only managed to get away with it.

"They are all small injuries and not serious injuries. The main problem is that the Imperial Concubine's body is too heavy and her emotions shouldn't be too unstable."

Shangguan Qian's words were polite, but they still pierced Imperial Concubine Xiao's heart. Each of his words carried a certain threat, as if he had seen through all of her secrets.

Imperial Concubine Xiao's expression was somewhat stiff, pretending to be indifferent as she yawned. A warm and angry expression appeared on her beautiful face.

"He's gone. He's in a bad mood." Imperial Concubine Xiao muttered.

At this moment, Yi Shan suddenly pushed a small palace maid behind Imperial Concubine Xiao. It should be someone close to her, but that palace maid was about to pounce on Imperial Concubine Xiao.

However, she seemed to have sensed something. With a turn of her body, she dodged the attack, leaving the palace maid to fall to the ground.

Imperial Concubine Xiao actually knows martial arts!
