The empress frowned and sat up, asking anxiously, "What's going on with the emperor?"

"To reply esteemed empress, His Majesty only worked hard these past few days. After prescribing the medicine and consuming it, he's basically fine." As the imperial physician said this, he took the Queen's pulse, and everyone immediately made way for her.

Upon seeing this, Song Qingyu slowly retreated a few steps, preparing to leave without a sound.

Mu Pei'er gritted her teeth when her wrist was abruptly pulled, "Sister Qingyu, where are you going? Could it be that they were afraid that the Imperial Physician would find out that their actions just now were inappropriate? "

Mu Pei'er didn't believe that this Song Qing and Yu really knew medicine. Even if he knew medicine, the silver needle clearly had a plan to stab him. As long as the imperial physician slightly chided him, he would immediately capture Song Qingyu!

"I just felt that in a moment of desperation, no Empress and the Ninth Prince's orders had come forward and committed the great offense. Now that I have returned to my lower seat, I have to beg for forgiveness from the Empress and the Ninth Prince. But what's wrong with little sister? Did she run straight to the Phoenix throne to treat the empress as well? "

As Song Qingyu spoke softly, he indeed pushed Mu Pei'er to the point of disrespecting the Empress.

"Esteemed empress, Pei'er is just worried for the empress." I have no intention to offend you, esteemed empress, please forgive me. "

"You mean that you are the only one who is worried about me? "You've repeatedly targeted Qing Yu and violated the palace rules." The empress sat quietly, holding her forehead and looking at the noisy Mu Pei'er. She had already seen through her. "Someone, pull Mu Pei'er down and beat him thirty times."

"Esteemed empress, please forgive us, esteemed empress …"

"Esteemed Empress, you treated me unfairly. I was only worried that Song Qingyu would harm the Empress, how could I dare to show the slightest disrespect to the Empress? It was Song Qingyu, Song Qingyu who sowed discord!"

The empress felt a headache coming on as she held her forehead and waved her hands, signalling for the guards to hurry up and drag her down. She then closed her eyes slightly.

Seeing that the empress had ignored her, Mu Pei'er jumped off the wall in panic and glared at Song Qingyu, "Empress, Song Qingyu has also rushed to the Phoenix throne. Why didn't he punish her? I refuse to accept this."

Song Qingyu did not say anything and knelt down decisively.

The empress raised her eyes slightly and raised her hand. The guard immediately released Mu Pei'er, who happily embraced the empress's thigh. "Esteemed empress, this humble woman really did not mean to offend you. It's all because of Song Qingyu!"

The empress raised her eyebrows, her gaze piercing. "Are you saying you doubt my decision?"

"Esteemed Empress …" Mu Pei'er was startled as his entire body stiffened.

"Since you are not convinced, I will make you convinced. You'll stay here and wait for the doctor's results. "

Mu Pei'er remained silent, hoping for something to go wrong with Song Qingyu.

The imperial physician kept the medicine box and said happily, "It's food poisoning. It was a good thing that the poison in the empress's body had been completely expelled. Otherwise, once the poison entered her internal organs, even if the treatment was properly done, the empress's phoenix body would be greatly damaged. This humble subject will prescribe a few medicines for the empress to recuperate. "

When Mu Pei'er heard this, she fell to the ground and became stiff for a long time.

The empress no longer looked at her and was immediately escorted away by guards. The moment she left her seat, she immediately regained her senses and shouted crazily, "Song Qingyu, it's all because of you …"

Her voice trailed off behind her until she couldn't hear it.

Zuo Linyi's eyes glinted with a dark light. He then asked, "What exactly is the food that the empress is preparing today?"

A mama at the side immediately knelt down. It was the empress's Aunt Rong, who was in charge of food. "All the restaurants in the palace have always been very careful, especially those of the emperor and the empress. As long as the imperial kitchens have been inspected, this old servant will naturally be very careful." We did not find anything amiss today. "

"In other words, you were wrongly accused?"

Zuo Linyi's voice sank.

Aunt Rong suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up. She looked at the Queen in shock, then glanced at the gingko on the table. She did not speak up.

The Queen looked over, suddenly realizing that the only person who had missed the royal kitchen check was the ginkgo sent by the Imperial Concubine Yi. As for the emperor, he wasn't feeling well. The imperial physicians all went to the Heartrest Palace. The Emperor had always reviewed memorials, and had never exhausted himself in speaking of them.

And this strange thing was to lure away the imperial physician so that there was no cure for her poison!

Naturally, the empress did not tell Zuo Linyi much about the harem, and even less would she mention the gingko.

Zuo Linyi noticed the empress's anger and his eyes turned cold.

"Yi'er, I'll take care of this matter."

"The Queen Mother will handle it." Zuo Linyi's eyes instantly recovered.

When the empress heard this, she chuckled and noticed the kneeling Song Qingyu from the corner of her eyes. "Those who deserve retribution do not know how to repent. Those who deserve retribution kneel on the ground."

The Queen ignored her anger and frustration as she reached out to help Song Qingyu up. He then took a close look and was very satisfied with Song Qingyu. "He is resolute and decisive, not inferior to anyone." A good girl. "He's also sixteen years old. He's slim and graceful."

"To reply esteemed empress, this humble one has indeed committed a crime of disrespect."

"The law is nothing but love, and you are doing it to heal me. Tell me, what reward do you want? " The queen's smile was kind as she studied Song Qingyu for a while.

Immediately, one of the palace maids standing next to the empress whispered in the empress's ear, "Niangniang, this servant went to find out that the Song Family's eldest daughter has an engagement with King Yu."

Her name was Jingguo, and she was one of the empress's concubines. The empress's gaze froze in shock. Was this the Song Qingyu that the king had praised so highly just by a single encounter? A trace of regret flashed across his eyes.

"When the empress is in danger, Qing Yu will naturally do his best. He won't dare to ask for any reward."

The Queen really liked Song Qingyu's personality. Just as he was about to offer a reward.

Zuo Linyi spoke coolly, "Imperial Mother, do you remember what I told you about making tea?"

The empress thought for a moment that she did remember him mentioning something, but he sloppily offered to bring the women of the people into the palace. The empress thought it was ridiculous. She guessed that some common girl wanted to climb the mountain and become a phoenix, but she was still angry over Zuo Linyi's failure.

He mentioned it again today, the empress suddenly thought. "Are you talking about Qing Yu?"

Song Qingyu suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Since muhou has agreed that day, Miss Song might as well stay and be a guest at the palace. The empress's palace is full of useless tea ladies, why not let Miss Song personally instruct them? "

Song Qingyu immediately spoke up, "This humble woman is terrified. How can she be qualified to stay in the palace?"

In her heart, the Empress was grateful to Song Qingyu for saving her life. Her eyes froze for a moment. Although Song Qingyu was King Yu's fiancee, he had not been confirmed. No one knew what would happen in the future.

The empress's gaze changed slightly. "Since that's the case, you can stay. so that you can talk to me. "
