On the surface, it's a test of loyalty, but in reality, it's also a test of those around you, and they must not reveal their true intentions either. (Cotton Candy)

  Moreover, now that the emperor is seriously ill and there are no children in the palace, Yu Guifei has the highest status, forcing Xiurong to reluctantly establish a successor, controlling the palace. The empress dowager and the prime minister's faction are close relatives, and they don't know about those dirty things, so they tacitly allowed these things to happen.

  Even if they mobilized their troops, they couldn't just rush in and attack the palace directly, but instead fell into someone else's trap. At that time, Xiurong might even take the opportunity to eliminate all those who were not loyal to him around him. By nature, Xiurong was suspicious, and he had been suspicious of his younger brother Xiyang for many years.

  After some thought, Xuyang decided to follow Chulianruo's plan and arranged for someone to escort Chulianruo with the tiger tally to go outside the city.

  The emperor just wanted Chu Lian to do it, but it was just to let her pass the message into his confidant's ear, so that he could prepare in advance and take action. How could he expect the tiger tally to take effect in the hands of a weak woman like Chu Lian?

  Arrangements were made for a carriage and attendants to escort Chu Lianruo out of the capital, while Xū Yáng also entered the palace at the same time to request an audience.

  Arrived at the military camp outside the city, Chu Lian followed Li Gonggong's instructions and found General Xu Xiu in the military camp.

  Xu Xuan may not have the same abilities as Qin Da Jiangjun at first, nor did Song Jiang take over all the powers in Qin Da Jiangjun's hands, but he was a confidant promoted by Xu Rong.

  Although the position is not high, he is loyal and dedicated. Although there are only 50,000 troops outside the city, as soon as there is any unusual movement in the capital, he can protect the emperor at the first time.

  Moreover, with the tiger tally in hand, it is possible to mobilize the border town garrison, and the country's military forces can be deployed at will. Even if the prime minister is now a regent, with ambitions and precautions, he dare not take lightly against Xú Róng.

  In this case, he had to find a way to save Xu Rong's life. If he didn't resolve the external troubles, he couldn't give others an excuse to march into the capital, otherwise all his arrangements would be in vain.

  After Xǔ Qiū got the Tiger Tally, he arranged for Chǔ Lián Ruò to be sent back to the capital as a palace concubine, it was not suitable for her to follow in the military camp. Chǔ Lián Ruò returned to the Wang Fu and learned that Xī Yáng had been refused an audience with the emperor and had returned without success.

  At first, leaving the palace was arranged by Li Gonggong inside, and in order to enter the palace again, he had to rely on Xuyang's power.

  Xu Yang hid her in his own carriage and re-entered the palace to request an audience with the emperor, having already arranged for Qingqing to receive her inside, and Chu Lian was secretly sent back to Xiyan Palace.

  Compared to other palaces, the Xiyuan Palace was relatively peaceful. Yuan Mengdie was certain that Chu Lian would not be able to escape her own grasp, so she decided to keep her around to admire her own triumphant life, slowly tormenting and manipulating her.

  In the palace, Li Gonggong sent medicine every day to replace the flow of sorrow. In order not to let Yu Mengdie discover it, the flow of sorrow was all taken, and in just a few days, the flow of sorrow became much thinner and weaker.

  Chu Lian felt a pang of heartache and even more guilt. After entering the imperial palace, she was most sorry for Flowing Wounds.

  It turned out that Liu Xiang was very open-minded and didn't mind at all. Upon learning that Chu Lian had met with Xu Yang, everyone felt relieved.

  You brought Flowing Tragedy back to the side courtyard and, under Chu Lian's orders, thought of ways to nurse Flowing Tragedy back to health.

  When Xū Yáng went to pay his respects, although he didn't see Xū Róng, wanting to meet Li Gōng was not difficult at all, let alone Yuè Mèng Tiě thinking that Li Gōng had already surrendered.

  Li Gonggong was delighted to see Xuyang return, and naturally felt a sense of relief. With Xuyang around, the prime minister and others would likely be more cautious and not dare to take action lightly, giving the emperor's hopes a boost.

  Delighted in his heart, he then escorted Xiuyang for a while longer.

  Xu Yang still had a free and easy-going look on his face as he followed Li Gonggong along the blue-brick path, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around to secretly inform him that Chu Lian had already returned safely to the palace.

  Mr. Li was taken aback by the news at first, but then he came around.

  Chu Lianruo had already learned from Xu Xiang that the military token had been sent out, so he added a hint of appreciation for Chu Lianruo. However, as a palace concubine who was stranded outside, it was indeed not suitable, and returning to the imperial palace would be the safest, although there were undercurrents in the imperial palace at this time.

  Chu Lian was originally Xi Yang's concubine after all, so seeking his help was also a matter of course.

  After sending off Xi Yang, Li Gonggong happened to follow Yuan Mengdie's instructions and sent medicine to Xiyang Palace.

  When he saw Chu Lianruo, he was naturally moved. Previously, knowing that she was not in the palace, the medicine was naturally sent over in a perfunctory manner, and it would be handled by someone else anyway. Now that Chu Lianruo had returned, he couldn't send the medicine to her again, so he specially brought Zhu Taishi over instead.

  Chu Taizhen is now in charge of Xurong's illness, although he has no way to deal with Xurong's body, but still loyal and has not leaned towards Yuan Mengdie.

  Xu Rong's body had already collapsed, and she knew that the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital were powerless. She naturally didn't bother to pay attention to them, and the daily pulse-taking was just for show.

  Chu Jingxuan had long been entrusted by Chu Lianruo, just like Xu Rong's surrender. Although Li Gonggong did not know about this relationship, he also trusted and used him.

  Under the instruction of Li Gonggong, let Chu Jingxuan think of a way to give Chu Lianruo medicine, making her body look like it already has weak signs, but in fact, she was not invaded by Yuan Mengdie's medicine.

  Yuán Dream Butterfly was waiting in the palace for her father to pass on a message, just waiting for herself to become a legitimate princess identity as soon as possible. Yuán Prime Minister had only one daughter, she was arrogant and used to it, later all these great powers would not be grasped in her hands, naturally she did not stare at these people so tightly.

  This day, Xurong woke up and proposed to make an evening visit to the imperial concubine.

  Yu Meng Die thought that Chu Lian Ruo was also a useless person, anyway they would all end up going together in the end. Since Xun Rong was so infatuated with her, it might as well let them be a pair of star-crossed lovers. She agreed to Xun Rong's request and sent Chu Lian Ruo into his bedroom.

  He looked ill and depressed, his spirit was weak, but when he saw Chu Lianruo, he still managed to muster up some energy, with a hint of comfort.

  Chu Lian knew that he was being friendly because of the Tiger Token incident, but she didn't care.

  Seeing Xiurong's appearance, I had an urge to laugh out loud, but I managed to hold it in. She indeed wanted revenge, but she couldn't just stand by and watch Xiurong die at someone else's hands.

  Moreover, she knew that Xun Rong would not accept his fate so easily.

  Xu Rong had no experience in dealing with Chu Lianruo. Under her care, he took the medicine and fell asleep in her arms in the bedroom. After he fell into a deep sleep, Chu Lianruo put on her clothes and lay down beside Xu Rong, making her feel nauseous.

  Chu Jingxuan had been waiting for a long time, Chu Lian took the opportunity to ask about the emperor's condition, and after carefully thinking about it, she wrote a prescription and handed it to Chu Jingxuan.

  Chu Jingxuan had received Chu Lianruo's help last time, knowing that there was someone beside her who was well-versed in medicine. He took the prescription given by Qing and studied it carefully for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

  The prescription you gave may not be able to fully restore Xiurong's health, but it can at least prevent her body from deteriorating further. With some nourishment, there will still be some effect. Chu Jingxuan had thought of such a prescription before, but unfortunately, he was unable to complete it.

  However, Qīng Qīng was different. She not only had a deep understanding of medicine but also learned the world's biased methods. After learning about the thoughts between Xū Yáng and Chǔ Lián Ruò, she carefully pondered this prescription. Only, whether Xū Róng's body could recover, she wasn't sure. Without Xū Yáng and Chǔ Lián Ruò's orders, she wouldn't do it either.

  Chu Jingxuan administered the medicine according to the prescription, and after a few days of taking it, Xu Rong's body indeed improved somewhat. Both Li Gonggong and Xu Rong were overjoyed.

  Promising a great reward, Chu Jingxuan didn't dare take credit and once again pushed out Chu Lianruo.

  The last time the plague happened, Chu Lian also made an effort, and Xu Rong saw it with his own eyes, so he didn't have any suspicions. It's just that when facing a lovely person like Chu Lian, he felt even more delighted.

  The first thing to do is to gather the spirit, of course, not forgetting to collect Zhao Xiang and Yuan Mengdie. In order not to let them notice, Li Gonggong sent a secret edict to the palace of the Empress Dowager.

  The Empress Dowager had not interfered with palace affairs for many years, and since Yuan Mengdie was her own niece and the Prime Minister was her own relative, she did not suspect that they would harm her son.

  Upon receiving the news, he was naturally furious.

  He immediately proposed going to Xuyong Palace to pay his respects.

  Yuán Méng Dié was enjoying herself in her own palace when she learned that the Empress Dowager suddenly wanted to see Xū Róng. Afraid that things would be exposed, she hurriedly rushed to the Empress Dowager's palace and managed to intercept her.

  The Empress Dowager had previously suggested visiting her own son, and after Xun Rong's coma, Yuan Mengdie had taken the Empress Dowager to see him once. After that, she tried every means to block the Empress Dowager.

  The empress dowager saw that they were all her own people and naturally had no suspicions, but now, she didn't know where the troublemaker came from, yet suddenly wanting to see the emperor at this time.

  Yuán Méng Dié had already sent someone to investigate Xū Róng's news while intercepting Tài Hòu.

  If Xiurong is still in a daze, seeing her again would be harmless and might even comfort the Empress Dowager.

  Yu Mengdie blocked the Empress Dowager's sedan chair, but when facing the Empress Dowager, she was still very respectful and gentle. To this aunt who cared for her, she naturally also showed great courtesy: "Empress Dowager, the Emperor has not been feeling well lately, I am afraid that if you see him, you will worry. You are like this, I am afraid it will be difficult for me. How can I bear to let you suffer?"

  If it were in the past, the empress dowager would have been deceived by Yuan Mengdie's clever appearance, but now that she knows about Yuan Mengdie's good deeds, she coldly snorted in her heart, but didn't show it on her face.

  After all, she was able to sit in the position of Empress Dowager, compared to Yuan Mengdie, it's not just a little more capable.

  The Empress Dowager personally descended from her sedan chair and helped Yu Mengdie up, with a worried look on her face. She stroked her chest, overcome with grief: "Die'er, I haven't seen the Emperor for many days now. During this time, I've been hoping he would recover quickly. I've been reciting scriptures and praying every day, but in my dream just now, I saw him crying to me, saying that he won't be able to accompany me anymore. After waking up from this dream, I couldn't sleep at all. If I don't see the Emperor, I fear that this old body of mine won't be able to hold on."

  Yu Mengdie was still moved by the sight of Tai Hou's distress, but as for what Xurong had done, she naturally couldn't let Tai Hou know. Her mind was also tangled, and just as she was thinking about how to stop it, she saw that the person she had sent had already returned and nodded at her in indication.

  Yunmeng Die nodded and said, "Since Your Majesty has spoken, it's indeed my fault. Today, I'll accompany you to see the Emperor. After meeting with His Majesty, please take care of your body, too."
