Just as Xiao Shushen was enraged, the maidservants outside ran in anxiously, "The Empress is in trouble."
"Impudent! The sky hasn't fallen yet! Panicking is disgraceful! Someone, drag him out and hit him with fifty sticks!"
Xiao Shushen was raging in her heart.
The maidservant knelt on the ground, his body trembling like a sieve as he cried out, "Empress, spare me!" "Empress, please spare this servant. Yes, the princess is sick."
Xiao Shushen raised his hand, indicating for them to go down, and asked: "Princess, are you sick?"
"Yes, esteemed wangfei, the mama serving the princess sent word that the princess had fainted in the imperial garden today and that the imperial physician had come to diagnose her. He still hasn't woken up and has a high fever. He's in great danger, so esteemed empress, please make the decision." The maid's voice trembled and she almost lost one of her life. At this moment, she had already lost two of her three souls.
"You can leave first. Once you return to the princess' mama, I'll go back later." Xiao Shushen looked at Gui mama beside him, as if he was thinking about something.
"Gui mama had been with Xiao Shushen for many years, so he naturally understood Xiao Shushen's thoughts the best," Empress, you still have to be careful if you want to face danger head-on, you can't leave any evidence behind.
"Gui mama, I trust you the most. Take my identity card and head out." As he played with the armor on his hand, he thought to himself.
"Yes." Esteemed Empress, this old servant will definitely not disappoint the Empress's request. "
Xiao Shushen packed and then left the palace, but she did not go directly to the princess' place. Instead, she went to the main hospital, found the imperial physician who was on duty today, and secretly chatted with him for a while before bringing him to the princess' place.
"The empress has arrived." the eunuch announced shrilly.
"To attend the empress."
Xiao Shushen went straight to the princess' bedroom, and upon entering, flew into a rage, "How do you take care of her? If anything happens to her, I'll send you all to the Hall of Punishment."
"Esteemed empress, please forgive us, please forgive us."
Everyone trembled and did not dare to raise their heads.
"Imperial Physician, hurry and show the princess what's going on. There's no major problem!" The imperial physician knelt on the ground and carefully examined the Princess's pulse, his heart uneasy.
"Imperial Physician, how is it?"
Xiao Shushen sat upright on the chair and asked with concern.
The imperial physician stretched out his sleeve to wipe away the sweat on his forehead, then stammered in reply. "This … hiss, princess, princess …"
Xiao Shushen flew into a rage and slammed the table, her powerful voice made everyone afraid, "Why are you hesitating, speak!"
"Esteemed Empress, please forgive me. This subject can't confirm whether the princess came out of nowhere, but I feel like the princess isn't sick. It's more like someone poisoned her and plotted to kill her."
When Xiao Shushen heard the answer that she wanted, the corner of her mouth formed a curve that was difficult to detect, "Come, let me inspect. Let me see which one of these people ate the courage of a leopard and actually dared to scheme against the princess. I will definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen."
The Princess's side was in a complete mess. Everyone was panicking; they were afraid that if they were not careful, their heads would fall to the ground in the next second.
Shen Qingwan was holding onto a book and reading it with relish. She was so engrossed in reading that she forgot about the time.
"Master, drink some water. It's been four hours since you last saw it. If you look carefully, your eyes will hurt."
Lian Yun carried a cup of tea up to her and took the book from Shen Qing Wan's hands.
"If you don't say it, I don't think so either. The more you say it, the more sore your shoulders feel."
Shen Qing Wan took the tea that Lian Yun brought up, and lightly shushed her as she slowly tasted it. She enjoyed Lian Yun's care, and felt very comfortable. Lian Yun's hand techniques on her shoulder were getting better!
"Mistress, I heard that the Emperor insisted on bestowing Mistress with the title of female official this morning. The Prime Minister was unable to stop him, and nearly knocked him to death on a pillar."
Lian Yun felt that the Emperor was treating his own mistress better.
"Lian Yun, the wall has ears, these kind of words are not casually said, I am afraid that after this matter is over, it will be difficult to remain calm!" Shen Qingwan became more and more worried. She knew that requesting her life would be difficult, but she never expected it to be this difficult.
Shen Qingwan became more and more worried. She put down the teacup in her hands, feeling that something was about to happen.
"Lian Yun, go and inquire about what is going on in the palace. My heart is in pain and I have a feeling that something big is going to happen."
"Mn, Master, Lian Yun will go right away." Not long after Lian Yun left, she came back running while panting heavily.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
When Shen Qingwan saw how flustered she was, she felt even more uneasy.
"Yes, the princess is sick."
"Princess?" Shen Qingwan thought for a moment. A few days ago, the princess was perfectly fine, why did she suddenly get sick for no reason? With a frown, he asked, "What's wrong with the princess?"
"I'm not sure. I only know that the empress invited an imperial physician to say that the princess might have been poisoned!"
Poison? Shen Qingwan's unease deepened. Who in the harem would be so bold as to poison the princess? What good would it do to poison her?
"The princess' place is in chaos. Look for the poisoner everywhere."
"The Emperor has arrived."
When Fu Yuheng saw the empress, he helped her up. "Empress, how is the princess?"
"Reporting to the emperor, the imperial physician said the princess' symptoms didn't seem like an illness, but rather …" The empress did not finish her sentence, but only pretended to stammer in fear.
Fu Yuheng couldn't be bothered to speak any honorable words. He massaged his aching forehead and said, "Empress, please speak your mind."
"The imperial physician said that the princess didn't seem to be sick, but rather poisoned."
He was slightly surprised. "Who poisoned the poison?"
"Chenqie is incompetent and has no clue at the moment. It's just that the princess once drank a bowl of porridge sent by the Consort Xian." Xiao Shushen lowered his head, and carefully said it out loud.
"Investigate, investigate for us." Fu Yuheng was a little angry. He naturally did not believe that Shen Qingwan was the one who did it.
Although Xiao Shushen was a noble empress, she was still a little afraid when she saw the angry Fu Yuheng.
