Previously, Wen Yi had been being watched by a famous person, but after observing for a while, he realised that she had not made any suspicious movements. Furthermore, everything in the harem was fine, so Wen Yi gradually relaxed her guard. Furthermore, due to Ke Er's extremely friendly treatment of her, she was thinking that she had overthought things.

However, even though she comforted herself like this, she was still unable to forget the tragic death of Chen Yuzhu. Therefore, when Ke Er came to her palace, coincidentally seeing Ye Er and Imperial Concubine Rou, Wen Yi intentionally mentioned Chen Yuzhu.

"My heart has always been filled with guilt. That day, I was unable to save Yu Zhu, and I even didn't know what illness she was suffering from!" Although Wen Yi had mentioned this on purpose, her feelings and sorrow were real. She had always kept Chen Yuzhu's death in her heart and had not been able to let it go until now.

"Princess Ning'an's death has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself!" The Imperial Concubine Rou comforted her softly.

After Song Yunqian ascended the throne, they were supposed to chase after Yang Luoyi and Chen Yuzhu as empress, but until now they had no instructions, so they still called her Princess Ning'an.

Ye Er also sighed: "Maybe it's her fate, don't blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you, it wasn't you who harmed her!"

Ke Er's brows drooped, and said: "Although I do not really like her, but I feel sad that she died, sad that she died, sad that we still have to live our lives, Sis, you have already tried your best to save her, there is no need to brood over it!"

Wen Yi looked at Ke Er, and said: "Amongst us, you are the one who has been with her the longest, have you noticed anything strange about the person serving beside her? I've always suspected that she was poisoned! "

Ke Er shook her head, at a loss, "I really didn't pay attention to that. That day, although I lived under the same roof as her, we rarely interacted, and I never asked her about her, and she also didn't pay any attention to my matters. We didn't interact much, and honestly speaking, I didn't notice anything strange about the people around her!"

Imperial Concubine Rou raised her head and looked at Ke Er, and sighed: "Maybe it's an illness, don't make wild guesses, instead it's annoying!"

Wen Yi remembered that day when she went to see Imperial Concubine Rou, she had told her about the poison. Although later on he confirmed that she hadn't poisoned him, she had brought out a piece of news. During this period of time, no matter how hard she tried to spy on him, Imperial Concubine Rou never revealed anything.

The people who were monitoring her in Ke Er's palace hadn't withdrawn all this while, and during this period of time, she would occasionally come in contact with the Imperial Concubine Rou s. However, according to the reports of the people who were monitoring her when she returned, they were gathered together only to chat for a while.

The attitudes of the people of Imperial Concubine Rou were completely different, which confused Wen Yi. She had instinctively believed that the Imperial Concubine Rou must know something, but no matter how Wen Yi tried to pry at her, she had always said that it was only a moment of anger on that day.

This topic could only be stopped here, because if she were to continue, it would only make her seem more special. On the contrary, it would only increase the vigilance of those with ulterior motives.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Empress Dowager's prime year. When the new emperor ascended the throne this year, it was the time of the late emperor's funeral, and they did not celebrate unrestrainedly. Thus, he wanted to use this opportunity to celebrate. Therefore, the Emperor had invited many important members of the clan to attend the banquet held by the Empress Dowager at the court, and had even invited a few of the princes to enter the palace as well.

Zhuge Ming was also invited to the palace. He had spent a lot of effort to give the Empress Dowager a present, he knew that the Empress Dowager liked exquisite embroidery, so he intentionally ordered the embroidery ladies to embroider a Kuan Yin portrait. Guan Yin's compassionate expression was vivid and lifelike. Empress Dowager liked it very much, so she immediately ordered someone to bestow a string of East Sea pearls to Zhuge Ming, teasing him to gift it to her future wife.

Wen Yi had always wanted to see them, but she had never dared to do so. She had Yang Luoyi's memories, so she also had feelings for the Marquis and his wife. She did not dare to get close to them, because she was no longer Yang Luoyi. Yang Luoyi had already been dead for more than three years, and she was not willing to provoke the couple again. Because, according to Song Yunqian, the Marquis of Jing Guo knew that she was called Wen Yi all those years ago. She didn't know if the Marquis of Jingguo would know that she was once Yang Luoyi, or if he would blame her for seizing their daughter's body. Since they didn't mention it, she didn't want to say it. The feelings she had for them made it impossible for her to accept the fact that the Jingguo couple would resent her.

Some things were settled, and any mention of them would only add to the sadness. The pain of losing a girl was not something an ordinary person could endure. To endure the pain, one needed a long period of time. Why was she rubbing salt on their wounds again? To bring up the past and the people who were no longer there?

In fact, the Marquis of Jingguo's wife had also visited the Imperial Concubine Rou at the palace and paid respects at the empress dowager's palace. However, when Wen Yi heard that they had come, he always hid herself.

Therefore, when Wen Yi heard that they were also going to the palace to enjoy the feast, she felt a little uneasy. Song Yunqian knew what she was thinking and comforted her, "marquis couple are kind people. Furthermore, they may not know that you are the Wen Yi of that day. Even if they did, they wouldn't blame you.

Wen Yi's hands became a little cold, and she forced a smile, "I hope so!"

The birthday banquet was held in the Qianxin Temple. It was a very grand banquet with two long rows that extended from the entrance to the inner hall.

The empress dowager was wearing a yellow robe and a diamond crown made from the empress dowager's ceremonial eight treasures. The sides of the crown were inlaid with emerald green, and in the center of the crown was a large pearl that overflowed with color under the light of the lamp.

Beside her sat Consort Dowager Rong, Consort Dowager Ling and Grand Concubine Qin. They were all dressed brilliantly. The Consort Dowager Ling didn't seem to be too happy, and the gaze she sent Wen Yi with contained a little jealousy and hatred. She had once enjoyed all the excitement and prosperity, but that was all in the past. Now, as the grand concubine and the old man of the palace, she sat by the side of the Empress Dowager and her life was submerged in stagnant water.

And the one who caused all of this, was Wen Yi.

From start to finish, she did not believe that Wen Yi did not kill the late emperor. With so much evidence pointing to her, the emperor had actually tried to justify her actions, but now, she was sitting beside the new emperor as his fiancee shamelessly. Her prosperity had only just started.

Wen Yi could also feel the resentful gaze of the Consort Dowager Ling, but she had no time to pay attention to it. This was because she saw the Marquis of Jing Guo and his wife entering the hall and slowly walking towards Song Yunqian's side.

This was the first time Wen Yi saw the Marquis of Jing Guo and his wife.

The Marquis' Wife was very beautiful. Her beauty was like a pearl, unconcealable. Even though she was over forty years old, she maintained her beauty properly and appeared to only be around thirty years old. She was very similar to Yang Luoyi. In other words, Yang Luoyi was her younger version. The Marquis' face was dark, and he had a long beard. The outline of his face was very beautiful, and he was believed to be a combination of handsome men and beautiful women. No wonder the Imperial Concubine Rou and Yang Luoyi were so outstanding. The two of them held hands as they slowly walked over. It was actually one of the focal points of the field.

She wanted to look, but didn't dare to look directly at them. When they arrived beside Song Yunqian, she lowered her head, but could still feel four pairs of blazing eyes staring at her!

"micron greets Your Majesty!"

"This humble one pays respect to Your Majesty!"

The two of them bowed and lowered their heads slightly.

Song Yunqian said with a smile: "No need for formalities, just sit by Imperial Concubine Rou's side, speak properly!"

"Thank you, your majesty!" After the two of them expressed their gratitude, their gazes simultaneously landed on Wen Yi. Wen Yi knew that it was very rude of him to do this, but she did not dare raise his head. She only lowered his head and used her fingers to sweep the embroidery on her clothes.

The Jingguo couple bowed to the empress dowager again, then sat down next to the Imperial Concubine Rou. Imperial Concubine Rou was sitting on the left side of Song Yunqian, and was only two seats away from him.

"Have you been feeling better?" the Marquis' Wife asked softly.

The Imperial Concubine Rou smiled and said: "Much better. With Dr. Wen treating me, much better!"

When the Marquis Lady looked at Wen Yi, Wen Yi just so happened to raise her head and meet her gaze. She immediately lowered her head, her palms sweating.

What Wen Yi did not expect was that the Marquis Lady Jing actually stood up, walked to Wen Yi's side and said, "Thank you Dr. Wen for taking care of Imperial Concubine Rou!"

Then, Wen Yi would have nowhere to run. She secretly took a deep breath, raised her head and smiled, "The Marquis' Madam is too courteous. I am a doctor, this is my duty!"

The Marquis Lady Jing looked at her with a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth. She looked at Wen Yi for a long time before she smiled and said: "Dr. Wen is so beautiful!"

Wen Yi was a little stunned, then said haughtily: "Thank you Madam for your praise!"

The Marquis' wife asked, "In the future, can I visit the Dr. Wen frequently?"

She quickly took a glance at Song Yunqian, who was holding her hand and gave a light smile, with a warm and encouraging look in his eyes. Wen Yi raised her head, looked at the Marquis Madam, and said: "Welcome to the highest point!"

The Marquis' Wife heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "That's good then!" Finished speaking, she gave Wen Yi a meaningful glance, and then retreated!

The banquet was filled with joyous banquets. As the wine was being drunk, the sovereign and subjects were having fun together, and the empress dowager was overjoyed as well. After drinking two more cups, she could no longer drink as much, so she got up to leave.

He drank a few cups and felt dizzy. She was surprised to find that the wine used for tonight's banquet was osmanthus wine for all the ladies. What she drank was osmanthus wine as well, a fine wine brewed by the palace. She picked up a piece of the fried yellow croaker in front of her, wanting to wake up her stomach and eat it. Feeling better, she ate a few more mouthfuls, but still couldn't shake off the dizziness.

Drinking so many cups of osmanthus wine would definitely not cause him to feel dizzy. The palace maid that was in charge of serving the female servants poured wine for them. She poured several people into a jug of wine and paid careful attention to the others.

For the sake of safety, she secretly took out a golden needle and inserted it into the wine. Since the last time she was poisoned, she had been very careful with her diet.

The golden needle did not change color, proving that it was non-poisonous. She put down her heart and felt that she was being paranoid. She raised her head to look at Ke Er, who was holding a cup of wine, smiling as she placed it on her lips. Her lavender embroidery contained a half-opened Peach Blossom Lei Nanzheng's satin fabric, her lips were hot without touching, her eyebrows were green without painting, her nose was delicate and exquisite, her appearance was picturesque, and the corner of her mouth held a smile. Li Xun's gaze had been on her face all night, almost never moving away.
