But in her heart, she was thinking, I wonder if you have told Dr. Chu about your plan at this moment. (Cotton candy provides free Txt download)

  Just as he was thinking, a low hum came from inside the house. Xū Róng let go of Chú Liǎnruò and stepped forward, and several imperial physicians followed closely behind, their feet moving swiftly. They rushed towards the bed where the empress dowager lay behind the screen.

  Chu Lian Ruo, however, remained standing in place, unmoving, only gazing at the back of Xū Róng with deep emotions. Shi Yu Yin's footsteps faltered slightly as she walked to a point parallel to Chu Lian Ruo, and then stopped moving forward, instead turning towards Chu Lian Ruo.

  Her red lips parted, but her voice was only audible to Chu Lian, "Aren't you afraid that this Buddha bead has really been poisoned?" Or is this something you've done yourself? Of course, the cautious Shi Yuyin didn't say the second half of the sentence out loud.

  "I only need the emperor's trust." Chu Lian glanced at her, calculating the time. At this hour, Zhu Taishi should have returned.

  "Yu Fei is indeed courageous." Shi Yu Yin's words were light, but carried a hint of sarcasm.

  Chu Lian didn't respond, and footsteps were heard coming over, "Lu'e, the Empress Dowager is summoning you." It was one of the Empress Dowager's attendants.

  Lu Luo looked at Chu Lian Ruo with a surprised and uncertain expression, her eyes swept over Shi Yu Yin, and a thought suddenly rose up in her mind, could it be that these two...

  "It's the Empress Dowager calling you, why don't you hurry in? Don't just stand there." Shi Yuyin had always looked down on Lu Luo, and now at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, something like this happened. If the Empress Dowager didn't pursue it, that would be fine, but if she did, then she and Chu Lian would definitely not be able to escape a scolding.

  She was also a shrewd person, and the tea cup would not have any problems, and the only possible Buddha beads were also gone under Chu Lianruo's personal test, if the imperial physician couldn't find out why the empress dowager was poisoned, this matter would not be over.

  With a wave of annoyance in her heart, she spoke to the green gauze with no more than half a hint of politeness.

  Luofu first covered up the deep thought in his eyes and followed the nanny into the inner chamber.

  "What are you doing, after all, you're someone by the empress's side." Chu Lianyu said this and Shi Yuyin's face changed color. She had just regained favor and there were some things she couldn't do too much about. This green gauze, she hadn't paid attention to it before either, also because she didn't have much interaction with the empress. Now, due to the imperial palace's unnecessary disaster, the empress was once again active in the harem...

  Just then, Chu Lian saw Shi Yu Yin's face filled with worry and anxiety. She lightly lifted her wrist to her lips, seemingly wiping away the water droplets, but actually using her wide sleeves to conceal the smile at the corner of her mouth.

  Shi Yu Yin, the more you fear, the more cautious you are, the happier I am.

  "Get out." A stern shout suddenly came from inside the room.

  Xu Rong's voice, Chu Lian didn't care about Shi Yu Yin by her side. After a few turns of thought, she took the lead and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, what's going on with the Empress Dowager..." The watery eyes flashed with surprise, and Lu Luo knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, with a palm-sized red mark on her face. Xu Rong's gaze was cold as the icy winter of the third month of the lunar calendar, freezing people into temporary inaction.

  She stood still, seemingly frightened, stunned on the spot. At the last sight of that year, wasn't he looking at her like this? She lowered her head, biting her lips tightly, as if she wanted to vent everything out.

  You're heartless, I'll remember it well. The lives of a hundred Qin family members, you alone will repay, and that's still cheap. (No pop-up ads) The pain of her long fingernails digging into the palm of her clenched fist brought her consciousness back, and she loosened her fist to fiddle with her skirt.

  "Evening concubine, come before me." Xú Róng saw that Chu Lian Ru was like this, and knew that this scene made her a bit flustered. Her own eyes should have been frightened too, and she couldn't help but slow down her voice.

  Chu Lian seemed to have just been awakened, and without realizing it, she walked towards Xū Róng's side.

  Until Xiurong's hand grasped hers, she seemed to have come to her senses. "But what did Green Luo do wrong to offend the Empress Dowager?"

  She let out a cold snort and didn't respond. The empress dowager had just woken up, saying that she was fine, probably just tired from before, and because she was used to having Lu Luo attend to her, someone went to call her over. Who would have thought that as soon as Lu Luo stood in front of the empress dowager, the empress dowager's breathing became labored again, scaring all the imperial physicians into action, pinching the renzhong acupoint and administering medicine, which finally helped the empress dowager catch her breath.

  What else can be said, isn't it just because of Luoluo?

  "Your Majesty, I think there may be some misunderstanding. Green Luo has always been with us, if there is any fault, it shouldn't be the Empress Dowager who suffers alone."

  "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has treated me so well, how could I possibly forget her kindness and turn against her? Besides, I have no motive to do so. Yes, I have no motive." Green Luo Lihua's eyes were brimming with tears, and the palm print on her face had already turned a faint red, making her look even more delicate and helpless.

  Xu Rong listened to Chu Lian's words and saw Lu Luo's appearance, calming her expression, "What does the evening concubine think?"

  "I, Zhen, sincerely believe that I would never do such a rebellious and immoral thing. However, it was because of her that the Empress Dowager fainted. I suspect that there is something on her body that made the Empress Dowager uncomfortable. Why not let the palace maid investigate and hand over the items she carried with her for the imperial physician to diagnose? We can't wrong an innocent person." Chu Lian's words were reasonable and full of sympathy.

  "Cough...cough... Yu Fei is indeed kind-hearted after all." A slightly hoarse voice came from behind them.

  "Empress Dowager, you're awake." Chu Lianruo exclaimed excitedly, her eyebrows and eyes filled with joy, anyone would think this was a heartfelt emotion.

  The empress nodded and seemed to have taken a liking to Xi Fei. "Very well, follow Xi Fei's advice."

  Xu Rong glanced at Qin Mama who was standing on one side and nodded slightly, "Take her away and have a good check."

  "Yes." Qin Mama was a mama who had been by the Empress's side since she entered the palace, and naturally, her heart belonged to no one else. She walked over to Green Luo's side, "Green Concubine, come with Mama."

  Luoluo hastily replied that she had originally thought she could gain the emperor's favor through this birthday banquet, but now how did such a thing happen.

  "You all go out first, I'm tired and want to rest well. If Lu Luo really did such a thing... Ah, wait until I wake up again." The empress dowager also didn't know what she was thinking of, sighed, and closed her eyes. She waved her hand, and Xu Rong saw that the empress dowager was indeed tired, so he didn't say anything more and took Chu Lianruo out together.

  Still outside the screen, at the edge of the table, Xū Róng sat upright on it, Chǔ Liánruò sat on his left side, and Shī Yùyīn sat on his right side.

  When they were relatively silent, Li Gonggong came to report that Wang asked to see him.

  Xu Rong only furrowed his brow, "Xuan." But when he said this word, he seemed to unintentionally glance at Chu Lian's face, still as calm as water, just like how he treated everyone else.

  He smiled contentedly. No matter how you, Xiang Yu, can calm the border and end the war, your woman will still belong to me, and you will still have to surrender to me.

  When Xū Yáng pushed the door open and entered, he brought with him a gentle breeze that lifted his hem, and his raven-black hair danced in mid-air, looking languid and untamed. However, the melancholy in his eyebrows and eyes could not be concealed.

  He couldn't help but notice his appearance, and subtly curled up the corner of his mouth in mockery. Xū Yáng seemed to be oblivious, his gaze didn't even linger on Chǔ Lián Ruò's body. He simply paid his respects. Very satisfied with Xū Yáng's attitude, "Why isn't the imperial brother sitting in the front hall?"

  "Returning to the Emperor, it has been a long time, how is the Empress Dowager doing? The court officials are all worried, so they entrusted me to come and ask." Xū Yáng asked lazily, not that he wasn't worried, but his worry was overshadowed by his languor, allowing Xū Róng to discover it, but more obviously letting him know that Xū Yáng's desires were unfulfilled.

  Li Gonggong said a few words in front of Xurong's ears, with some resentment in his tone, "Xu Yang, why are you so restless at the banquet?"

  "Imperial brother, this isn't my fault. The imperial guard indeed has a good leather pouch. If imperial brother could bestow it upon me..."

  "How dare you, this imperial guard is also someone you can't touch, if it's consensual then so be it. But with the way you're acting, how am I supposed to explain this to our late emperor?" Xū Róng's voice was filled with anger, but in his heart he was secretly delighted. He had yelled loudly on purpose, just to make the guards standing outside the door understand more clearly that the Feathered King had gotten himself into trouble by messing with an imperial guard, and now none of the other guards dared to get close to Xū Yáng.

  "Your Majesty, everyone has their own aspirations. As long as Wang Ye lives a happy life, you can be at peace with the Emperor. Don't blame yourself." Shi Yu Yin stroked Xi Rong's chest, which was rising and falling with agitation.

  "Alright, alright, I've told you so many times, but you never listen. This imperial guard position isn't something you can just blindly obtain." Xū Róng put on a benevolent older brother's demeanor.

  Xu Yang raised an eyebrow, "What's going on with the Empress Dowager?"

  "The queen mother is fine for now, but since you're here, just wait here. This matter is a bit suspicious." Xū Róng didn't deny that his younger brother was quite capable and couldn't help but see the reason behind it. "Li Gonggong, go and disperse the people in the front hall."

  "The old slave understands." Li Gonggong left, intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the person in the shadow outside the door, but said nothing.

  As soon as he sat down, he felt uneasy and restless.

  "You seem to be not feeling well? When the imperial physician comes later, let them take a look at you. For now, this border pass really can't do without you." Xū Róng also mentioned the border pass, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

  "My brother is talking nonsense, our country has many talented people, and without me, a crippled prince, it won't make a difference. I'm just a blind cat who happened to catch a dead mouse." Xū Yáng hastily shook his head, looking somewhat frightened, but when he said the two words "crippled sleeve", he had an air of not taking it seriously.

  Chu Lian's heart ached slightly, how many things would she have to go through before she could utter those two words as easily as the weather was fine today?
