Seeing that Yang had been tortured into a state of disgrace, Su Qingyao and the others left with satisfaction.

A person like this who has done many evil things must not let her die easily. Wouldn't that be too easy for her?

Yang's final test was definitely not the humiliation and torture of her by the concubines, but the chariot-breaking punishment rewarded by Emperor Yinde.

The day of execution happened to be Prince Chongheng's March 7th.

The crimes of Liuguangmen were once again exposed to the world. Under the city wall, Yang's head was missing amidst everyone's discussions and accusations.

With Yang's painful death, this matter has officially come to an end.

But the queen's body was getting weaker day by day.

The queen stayed in bed for many days, and the imperial doctors were all guarding her in Fengyi Palace. The concubines also copied Buddhist scriptures and prayed for the queen, but the queen's health was not getting better.

After all, it was his wife who was bedridden. Emperor Yinde came to accompany the queen every day, and even personally took the decoction for her before going to the Yangxin Hall to approve the memorial.

The intimacy between the two seemed to be back when Emperor Yin De had not ascended the throne, but only two people knew what it was like.

The concubines also began to serve the sick, just like they did at the end of Yinde's third year, taking turns to serve the middle palace.

The matter of serving the sick was arranged by Concubine De and Su Qingyao. Basically, it was a chief empress plus a mistress.

Su Qingyao originally wanted to be with Liu Jieyu, but Qin Chongyuan had not been in the palace for a long time and there were many things she didn't understand, so she was asked to be with Liu Jieyu.

Su Qingyao was with Beauty Qiao.

That night, because Yun Shu accidentally fell down, nothing happened. However, Yun Shu was too delicate and hugged Su Qingyao and cried for a long time. Su Qingyao naturally went to Fengyi Palace a little late.

In Fengyi Palace, Peihua brought the freshly cooked medicine.

Qiao Meiren took it and tested the temperature with her arm. Seeing that the temperature was just right, she and Peihua helped the queen get up.

The queen was leaning on the soft gold pillow, her eyes were red and there was no color at all.

"Your Majesty, this is the medicine prepared by Wu Yuanpang himself. I will serve you to drink it." Beauty Qiao scooped up a small spoonful of the dark soup and handed it to the Queen's mouth.

The queen opened her mouth and allowed Beauty Qiao to serve her.

"Empress, is this medicine too bitter?" Beauty Qiao asked, then tilted her head and ordered, "Miss Peihua, go get some candied fruits for the Empress, and make some ginseng tea."

Peihua agreed and then left.

Beauty Qiao directly placed the small bowl on the queen's bedside. She was no longer as obedient as before, but looked at the queen coldly, "Is there anything good in your bedroom?"

Then his eyes were fixed on the queen's pillow.

The queen became nervous unconsciously, because there was the note Jingchen left for her.

"Red crisp hands, yellow vine wine, the city is filled with spring scenery and willows on the palace walls."

When Qiao Meiren said this word by word, the queen was undoubtedly panicked.

"What are you thinking about? It was Yang who told the concubine these dirty things. Now you know why the concubine went to the cold palace that day and came back without torturing Yang?"

"Because Mrs. Yang told me that the young man of the queen is not your Majesty at all, but Jingchen, the prince of Northern Li."

"I heard that the Queen was having an affair with Jingchen, but His Majesty discovered it."

"Mr. Yang is a madman!" The queen clenched her fists. Although Ms. Yang was dead, her hatred had not dissipated.

"Really?" Qiao Meiren stepped closer, grabbed the queen directly, and reached out to search for the small piece of paper.

The queen naturally refused to give in, but she was very weak now and naturally had little strength.

The queen treasured the note, put it in her purse, and put it under her pillow. Beauty Qiao would soon discover it.

She opened the purse and took out the note written by Jingchen to the queen.

"Which candle should I use to burn it?" Beauty Qiao looked back and forth in the hall, seeming to be very confused.

Finally, the note was burned to ashes directly on the candle beside the queen's bed.

"Qiao Muyan, you bitch, come here! Come here!" The queen fell from the bed at some point and looked so embarrassed that it was hard to believe that she was the mother of a country.

"Empress!" Hearing the Queen's cry, Peihua hurried in. At this time, Su Qingyao also arrived in a hurry.

All I saw was that the Queen spurted a mouthful of blood on the floor, and then fainted on the ground, pointing at Beauty Qiao.

This matter was not trivial, and naturally it alarmed Emperor Yinde and the eldest princess.

Wu Yuanjing took the Queen's pulse and replied, "Your Majesty, the Queen vomited blood and fainted because she was anxious. It's not serious. She will wake up tomorrow. After waking up, you must not be angry or sad."

Emperor Yin De nodded and motioned for him to retreat first.

"What happened?" Emperor Yinde asked, staring at Peihua.

"My slave deserves to die. I went to prepare preserves for my queen. I don't know what happened." Peihua apologized.

"Why are you so confused? Shouldn't it have been prepared in advance?" The eldest princess rarely got angry in front of so many people, "Who is waiting in the palace?"

"It's my concubine." Meiren Qiao explained, "Sister Xian Fei never came. The queen said the medicine was bitter and refused to drink it, so..."

"Don't involve Concubine Xian. Shu'er is injured. I allowed Concubine Xian to come late. Am I also responsible?" Emperor Yinde roared at Beauty Qiao.

"I don't dare, Your Majesty, please calm down." Qiao Mei said with fear on her face.

"Everyone, please go down. I will accompany the queen." Emperor Yinde waved his hand tiredly, signaling for everyone to leave.

On the bed, his wife was unconscious, and Emperor Yin De was pacing back and forth in front of the bed. This night was very difficult.

He knew that Jin'er's death seemed to have completely devastated the Queen. It was hard for him as a man, let alone a weak woman like the Queen?

Jin'er can't come back anymore, he only hopes that the queen can be well.

At nine o'clock the next day, when it was just dawn, Li Fuhai and the young eunuchs came in quietly, and saw Emperor Yin De sitting beside the bed. He had not slept all night, and his face looked haggard.

"Your Majesty..." Li Fuhai called softly, but Emperor Yinde signaled him to be silent.

Emperor Yinde nodded slightly and almost fell on the bed when he stood up.

Li Fuhai and Xiao Nanzi quickly stepped forward to support him.

Emperor Yinde was served and changed into court clothes, and he regained his royal temperament. He had to go to court.

"You tell Liu Zhong to use the red charcoal in Fengyi Palace in advance. It must be arranged before I go to court."

"Yes." Li Fuhai responded beside Luan Jia.

It has just entered October, and although it is slightly cold, it is not yet time to use carbon. However, what Emperor Yinde felt in Fengyi Palace was only a biting chill.
