The originally peaceful Imperial Palace instantly erupted again due to a matter.

It was unknown where the news came from, but it said that Empress Xiao Shushen had been poisoned. For a moment, the imperial harem was in a state of panic.

A few days ago, Consort Xian Shen Qingwan was allergic to food and her legs were injured. Now, it was the Queen's turn …

Hearing this, the imperial physician rushed to the empress's palace to check on her injuries.

"Imperial Physician Li, how is the empress?" Xiao Shushen's trusted Gui mama asked worriedly, but her eyes were filled with viciousness, there was actually someone who dared to attack the Empress!

Imperial Physician Li carefully finished the pulse of the Empress. It just so happened that Fu Yuheng walked in quickly.

He wrinkled his brow, a sharp and irritable glint in his eyes. How could he not be annoyed by the numerous incidents that occurred to concubines in the imperial harem?

"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty." Imperial Physician Li immediately turned around to face Fu Yuheng.

"What's wrong with the empress now?" Fu Yuheng knitted his brows as dark light suffused his eyes.

Imperial Physician Li didn't dare to hesitate. "Esteemed Empress took a small dose of arsenic, so there's no problem. You can just prescribe some medicine to recuperate."

The appearance of arsenic in the harem was shocking.

Fu Yuheng cast a glance at the Queen who was still unconscious on the bed. He felt slightly irritated.

"Your majesty, the person who poisoned the empress must have malicious intentions! He wants to kill the empress!" Gui mama kneeled onto the ground with a thump. Although his face showed grievance, his words still resounded with each word he spoke.

"The emperor must seek justice for the empress!" "Your majesty!" She kept kowtowing to him. As a servant, she didn't think much of it. As long as the emperor protected the empress, she could find the person who poisoned the empress.

He was even more agitated by her words. These people were making trouble for him right under his nose. They were truly lawless.

Fu Yuheng waved his hand and spoke with anger and authority, "Investigate this matter thoroughly for This Emperor!"

With these words of his, the marble temple naturally did not dare to be negligent. All day long, he had been investigating the matter of Xiao Shushen's poisoning.

Perhaps it was because they knew that he was truly angered this time, but everyone in the palace was panic-stricken, especially the one who started it.

Ever since he learned that Fu Yuheng was going to investigate this matter, Liu Chugrong had been restless.

Originally, she didn't want to harm Xiao Shushen either, but those were Fu Huaiyu's instructions. Currently, he had a close relationship with the Liu Estate, so he could not be disturbed by anything.

It was because of this that she had taken the risk to poison Xiao Shushen.

She was trembling from head to toe all day, and even her mood had worsened a bit. Unfortunately for her, Xiao Lv had also knocked over a small item with his hands and feet.

Such a scene immediately made Liu Chu Rong irritable, he pointed at Xiao Lv and started to criticize him, "How do you all do things! None of them were nimble! I really don't know what I have to do with you all! " He was already in a bad mood, so it was easy for him to be ignited.

Xiao Lv was so scared that she immediately knelt to the ground, bowed her head and begged for forgiveness, "Imperial Concubine, please spare me, please spare me!"

"You went out and kneeled in front of me, what an eyesore!" He turned his body away from her contemptuously.

Hearing that, Xiao Lv felt wronged, but she did not dare say anything, and could only do as she said. As a servant, how could she dare to compete with Imperial Concubine?

Looking at Xiao Lv's figure that was rushing out, she felt annoyed again, "These are truly things that make people worry!"

As for Shen Qingwan, she had already taken a few sets of the imperial physician's soup, so she was almost fully recovered from her allergies.

"The empress has been poisoned?" He raised his eyebrows and a trace of interest flashed through his eyes. Although she was in the palace all day, it was hard for her not to know about this matter even if it caused a huge commotion.

Xiao Man was passing her the soup for today, pouting as she said, "Empress, it's time to drink the medicine."

It was that bitter taste again. Her eyebrows creased, but there was nothing she could do. She didn't have any strength left in her body, so she picked up the bowl of soup and drank it up.

"That's right, the empress had been poisoned a few days ago. The imperial physician said he'd taken a small dose of arsenic, but it's not that serious."

Arsenic?

Someone had used arsenic in the harem. That thing was the deadliest and most deadly of them all.

"The emperor is thoroughly investigating this matter, causing everyone in the imperial harem to be terrified." Xiao Man continued shaking her head.

It seemed that Fu Yuheng also felt that the recent news was not a coincidence. The last time he came, it was because of Liu Chugrong. Then what about this time?

It wasn't that she was prejudiced against Liu Chugrong, but she was the most daring one in the harem and had the most reason to poison.

"Any leads?" Shen Qingwan raised her hand and placed it on her forehead. With the bitterness still in her mouth, she picked up the candied fruit on the bed and started chewing. The marble temple had been ordered to investigate this matter, they should have found some clues.

"There doesn't seem to be any clues, but this servant sees that the emperor is serious this time." Xiao Man pondered as she smiled at her, "Does the Empress have any guesses?"

Xiao Man had been by her side all this time and was naturally intelligent to begin with.

Hearing that, Shen Qingwan curled her lips slightly, but did not answer. Instead, she asked a question in return, "How is Imperial Consort Liu doing recently?"

Mentioning Liu Chugrong, Xiao Man unconsciously showed a disgusted look on her face, "She also got what she deserved. Since she injured her leg last time, she can't do anything about it."

She had hurt her leg, and it seemed like she couldn't do anything on the surface. However, after her lesson last time, Liu Chugrong probably wouldn't risk his life again.

Shen Qingwan was silent, while Xiao Man seemed to have thought of something, as if she had just awoken from a dream, "Empress, are you suspecting that she was the one who poisoned him?"

"We can't jump to conclusions until we find out." She cast a deep glance at Xiao Man, "You must pay attention to what you say in the harem."

Knowing that she had made a mistake, Xiao Man lowered her head in annoyance, "This servant understands."

Seeing her like this, Shen Qingwan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, "But like you said, I do suspect her."

Hearing this, Xiao Man's bright eyes lit up again, "Actually, this servant also suspects it."

"Go and check if there's anything wrong with her." Shen Qingwan smiled, a light flashing across her eyes.

"Alright!" Xiao Man agreed. She had some connections with Xiao Lv, who was next to Imperial Consort Liu.

He found some time to look for Xiao Lv in the Imperial Consort Liu Palace and only said that he had matters in the palace that needed her help. Xiao Lv did not reject her request and brought her to her room. During this time, Xiao Man unintentionally looked at the Imperial Consort Liu's palace.

"Empress!" When he returned, Xiao Man couldn't wait to run into her room. "Greetings, Empress."

"There's no need to be so polite. What's the situation?" Shen Qingwan's gaze was filled with deep probing.

"This servant did not see Imperial Consort Liu, but …" Her eyes darkened, and she looked around to make sure no one was there.

"But this servant discovered a palace maid sneakily hiding something under a big tree. He had a panicked expression, as if he was quickly seen by someone." She only happened to glance at a corner of the courtyard wall when Xiao Lv called out to her, so she didn't have the chance to look carefully.

Shen Qingwan's eyes dimmed a little because of her words. It seemed like this matter really wasn't that simple.

Liu Chugrong didn't do it himself, but what was that palace maid burying?

She instinctively felt that this matter had something to do with the matter of Xiao Shushen's poisoning. Even if it wasn't Liu Jiaorong's method, it at least had something to do with her!
