Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

But even Mr. Yao didn't expect that after ten days of taking medicine every day, the old general showed no sign of waking up. He was so angry that he moved into Xu's house and read through the vast medical books frantically, but couldn't figure out what his problem was.

"Dr. Yao, your reputation is in tatters. It's been ten days. Even the emperor knows that my father has been poisoned and has sent the imperial physician here." Xu Yixing stood outside the window of the house where Mr. Yao lived and spoke sarcastically to the inside.

She was not worried about whether her father would wake up. In fact, during these ten days, she still had a glimmer of hope that her father would remain in a coma forever, so that she would not have to choose between her mother's death and her father's kindness in raising her.

With a bang, the window was opened from the inside. Mr. Yao looked anxious: "What did they say?"

"It's similar to your diagnosis. I also prescribed some medicine. Try taking some first."

Mr. Yao's face turned a little ugly when he heard this. He frowned slightly and put down the book in his hand. "Madam, I have something to say to you."

Xu Yixing waved his hands and asked the maids and servants behind him to step back to ensure that their words would not fall into the ears of others: "Is my father not going to wake up?"

Seeing a strange flash of expectation in Xu Yixing's eyes, Mr. Yao did not understand the meaning for a moment, but just told the truth: "On the contrary, according to my diagnosis of General Xu, he is fine. As for why he didn't wake up..." Mr. Yao cast his eyes on the medical book that had just been thrown away, and suddenly became angry.

"I don't know what you are doing. I, Yao, have a lot of things to do, so I won't play games with you!" After saying that, he picked up the book fiercely, packed his bag and medicine box quickly, and left the house without looking back.

"Hey! What do you mean? You're going to run away if you can't cure it? What's wrong with you?" Xu Yixing didn't know what was wrong with this great doctor Yao, and he really left.

Seeing that the two of them had suddenly turned against each other, Siqin stepped forward and asked, "Madam, should we chase Mr. Yao back..."

"Let him go!" Xu Yixing was still angry, so he naturally didn't listen to Siqin's words. It would be better if he left. Letting dad stay unconscious is exactly what I want!

Turning into the main courtyard, she saw Madam Zuo still guarding her father's bedside. She suddenly felt a little emotional: this Madam Zuo seemed to really adore her father.

She worked hard for ten days and was suspected by me, but she didn't complain at all. There really was a sense of harmony between us.

Oh, my dad is so lucky, he has always had many admirers around him.

Just as I was standing at the gate, I heard someone hurrying up behind me. It turned out to be Li Shi. "Your Highness, the Queen Mother has sent a message asking you to come in and have a seat."

"now?"

"Exactly."

Xu Yixing smoothed up her loose hair. She had been very busy at home these past few days and hadn't dressed up properly. She definitely couldn't go now.

"Please wait a moment, sir, while I go change my clothes."

"No need," the strong man stepped forward and pressed forward, not as docile as other strong men: "The Queen Mother wants to see you immediately, so please don't embarrass us, the messenger!"

This was very strange. Xu Yixing frowned and immediately changed his words: "My father is still ill. Can I tell my mother where I am? Is there still time for me?"

The strong man did not threaten too much. He bowed his head and stood at the gate of the courtyard, as if he was watching here.

Xu Yixing turned and walked into the courtyard, with Yingwu following behind her. When she came out of the main room, there were only her and Siqin, and Yingwu was not with them.

"Let's go." Xu Yixing followed the strong man into the carriage and drove slowly towards the palace. He felt something was wrong. When had the Queen Mother ever been so hasty and unreasonable in summoning people? Could it be that something happened in the palace?

But that's not right. Even in the worst case scenario, for example if the emperor suddenly died, he should have summoned the other princes to the palace. The reason they were in such a hurry to see me might be because his father was poisoned.

While thinking about the words, he entered the palace unconsciously. Xu Yixing abandoned the carriage and changed to a sedan chair. When he arrived at the destination, he found that it was not the Queen Mother's Yi'an Palace, but the Yixiao Pavilion that he had visited with Lu Anyuan last time.

"here?"

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother is not feeling well and may not be able to see you today. Therefore, I have specifically asked you not to rush out of the palace and stay in the palace for a few days."

Xu Yixing rolled his eyes, calmly got off the sedan chair and entered Yixiao Pavilion. He saw that the room had been specially cleaned. He thought it was not a spur-of-the-moment decision but must have been arranged in advance.

"These are the maids that the Queen Mother specially ordered to serve you." Li Shi clapped his hands, and four young maids came in from outside. When they saw Xu Yixing, they just followed the rules. It seemed that they had never served nobles before, so they were a little nervous.

"Thank you, does the Queen Mother have any other instructions?"

"No, I'm leaving now. Your Highness, please have a good rest."

Xu Yixing saw the strong man leave, then glanced at the four people in the hall. He had no intention of making things difficult for them, so he let them go as well.

"Madam, what does this mean? The Queen Mother was so anxious to summon you to the palace, why do you just disappear like that?"

"The Empress Dowager is old and suffering from many illnesses. She may really pass away suddenly." Xu Yixing smiled with relief and sat in front of the mirror, asking Siqin to come and re-comb his hair.

She looked in the mirror and observed the surroundings carefully: there were no other concubines living next to Yixiao Pavilion. Apart from the four maids, the palace should be empty, and there were no guards outside the palace. In addition, the strong man closed the outer door when he left. If she didn't pay attention, no one in the palace would know that there was an extra person in Yixiao Pavilion, right?

This is imprisonment!

Just like trapping the Second Prince, no, even worse than the Second Prince. At least everyone in the palace knew about the Second Prince and Concubine Ying's family at that time, but today, the closed palace gates, the sudden summons and sneaky arrangements, including the four maids outside who looked like newcomers, were they not going to let everyone know that Concubine Xiaoyi was in the palace?

Sure enough, something happened.

But Xu Yixing couldn’t be sure yet whether something happened to the emperor or to Lu Anyuan.

As Xu Yixing was thinking this, he heard Siqin complaining as she started to move: "Even if we stay in the palace for a few days, we should at least tell the mansion, right? You and Madam Zuo didn't say anything just now, and she didn't even know whether we went into the palace or returned to the mansion."

"The Empress Dowager's arrangement will naturally lead to someone reporting it to the palace."

Siqin curled her lips and thought to herself, you clearly said you were going to tell your family, but you just took a look in the main room and came out, what does that mean!
