Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Chapter 164 The Queen is in a Coma

The sunlight poured into Changchun Palace through the window lattices, illuminating the room.

Empress Fucha and Wei Yingluo were sitting at the table, holding colorful embroidery threads in their hands, carefully selecting them, preparing to make clothes for the unborn little master.

The ten-year-old Yonglian sat quietly aside, concentrating on solving the nine-ring puzzle, making soft noises from time to time.

At this time, Empress Xian came in with Zhen'er.

Zhen'er handed a plate of dew to Mingyu who was standing beside her. Concubine Xian respectfully bowed to Empress Fucha and said, "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Empress."

Empress Fucha looked at Concubine Xian with a smile and said softly, "Get up quickly."

Concubine Xian stood up and looked at the embroidery thread on the table. A hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes: "Are you making clothes for the little prince?"

Empress Fucha gently stroked her bulging belly, her eyes full of anticipation: "It may not be a little prince, Yonglian has always wanted a sister."

Hearing this, Yong Lian stopped learning the Nine Links, turned to look at Concubine Xian, then quickly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Greetings to Mother Concubine Xian."

Seeing this, Empress Xian showed a gentle smile on her face and reached out to gently touch Yonglian's head: "Yonglian is such a sensible child."

In fact, Concubine Xian was very envious of Empress Fucha, who not only was loved and respected by the emperor, but also had such an outstanding son.

However, she knew that the Queen had treated her well and had helped Concubine Gao when she was in trouble. Therefore, despite her envy, she always remained grateful.

Now, after being in jail and suffering from a serious illness, Concubine Xian's younger brother Changshou has become much calmer and is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.

As a result, Empress Xian's mother came to her senses and no longer forced Chang Shou to become an official. Instead, she allowed him to choose the path of doing business according to his own preferences.

Unexpectedly, Chang Shou has a good business acumen and has now made his business flourish and achieved considerable success.

Wei Yingluo looked at the people living in harmony in front of her and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

He bowed respectfully to Concubine Xian again, "I should also thank Mother Concubine Xian. I remember that the clothes I wore when I was a child were made by Mother Concubine Xian."

When Empress Xian heard this, she couldn't help feeling surprised and delighted.

She said quickly, "It's just a small matter. Since Yonglian called me 'Mother Concubine Xian', it's what I should do. I'm glad that Second Prince still remembered it."

Zhen'er on the side was also very surprised. After all, this happened ten years ago.

Everyone talked about this topic for a while and the atmosphere was harmonious.

At this time, Mingyu brought the queen's pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

The Queen took the medicine bowl and said to Concubine Xian with gratitude: "Concubine Xian, you send me the clear dew every day. I don't know how to thank you."

Empress Xian smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am naturally happy to be able to help you."

Then she picked up the spoon, gently stirred the pregnancy-preserving medicine in the bowl, then carefully scooped up a spoonful and slowly put it into her mouth.

The bitter taste spread across the tip of the tongue, but seemed a little lighter than before.

Empress Fucha smiled and said, "The bitterness of this pregnancy-stabilizing medicine seems to have lessened a lot." Her eyes were bright and gentle, as if she was tasting something delicious.

The smile on Concubine Xian's face blossomed even wider, with gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Empress, you and the Second Prince have taken turns praising me. I am so flattered."

There was a hint of playfulness in her voice that made people laugh.

Empress Xian, who had always been known for her steadiness and propriety, had actually learned how to joke at this moment, and everyone started laughing.

For a moment, the whole room was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful.

Amidst the laughter, the queen picked up the bowl and continued to drink the pregnancy-preserving medicine.

She was drinking and talking with everyone. However, at this moment, the queen suddenly felt dizzy and the world was spinning.

She tried to steady herself but was unable to hold on and eventually fainted.

Wei Yingluo was quick to act and quickly supported the queen, letting her lean on her.

She nervously reached out her hand and felt the Queen's pulse, hoping to find out what the problem was.

However, to her surprise, the queen's pulse was normal and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the baby in her belly.

When everyone saw this scene, they were immediately panicked.

Empress Xian was horrified and looked anxious. Mingyu was even more anxious and at a loss. Wei Yingluo quickly winked at Mingyu, signaling her to find Zhang Yuanpan for treatment as soon as possible.

Wei Yingluo carefully carried the queen to the bed and let her lie down to rest.

However, unlike the last time she fainted, the queen closed her eyes tightly, as if she was asleep, and she could not be woken up no matter what.

Concubine Xian tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes full of anxiety and worry: "Miss Yingluo, what happened to the Queen? Why did she suddenly faint?"

Wei Yingluo frowned and shook her head gently, with a hint of confusion on her face: "Empress Xian, I don't know the reason either, and I still can't figure out the problem."

There was a hint of helplessness and anxiety in her voice.

Wei Yingluo took a deep breath and said to Concubine Xian in an earnest tone, "Concubine Xian, the Queen trusts you, and I naturally believe you too, but others may not understand.

The situation is unclear now, so you'd better go back to the palace first to avoid any accidents. If something really happens, I'm afraid... it will be difficult to explain clearly. "

Wei Yingluo was well aware of the seriousness of the matter. After all, Empress Fucha suddenly fainted after taking the pregnancy-preserving medicine, and the dew for decocting the medicine was collected by Concubine Xian herself.

If there is no problem with the medicinal materials in the Imperial Medical Bureau, then Concubine Xian will become the object of everyone's suspicion, and it is not impossible that she will even be framed for no reason.

Although Wei Yingluo had carefully checked the medicinal materials and dew before decocting the pregnancy-preserving medicine for the Queen, and made sure that they were non-toxic, she only gave them to Mingyu to cook the medicine.

Moreover, no strangers broke into Changchun Palace, but the queen was still in a coma... Wei Yingluo understood that someone must have poisoned her by other means.

After all, not long ago, Wei Yingluo had found a block of Aconitum containing a highly toxic poison among many medicinal herbs. After some investigation, she discovered that it was actually the poison given by the little medicine boy beside Zhang Yuanpan.

So, she sent Xiao Quanzi and Zhang Jianyi to investigate the matter thoroughly, and finally found out that the matter was related to Liu Baizhi.
