"My lord, your punishment for Xiao Yunzi is still too light!" Rendong muttered angrily in Ledao Hall.
An Lingrong let her hair down and said in a gentle voice, "He was also following orders."
Honeysuckle combed her hair gently and said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator. If anyone bullies his master, he can just find someone else. Several young eunuchs have been frightened by him and became sick. If the young master hadn't asked me to bring them medicine, they would have been sent out of the palace through the auspicious gate. Their lives would be determined by fate. We are all servants. Why should he destroy other people's lives?"
An Lingrong knew Ren Dong's temper. She hated bullying the weak, so An Lingrong patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I have achieved my goal tonight, and you have given him a beating. Don't mention this matter again."
Then An Lingrong changed the subject and asked, "Did Xiao Jiangzi make any mistakes?" This time, An Lingrong asked Xiao Jiangzi to buy some medicinal herbs from the purchasing office and bring them into the palace, and then made them into medicinal powder. She asked Rendong to calculate the time and quietly lure Concubine Fang out, so that the substitution could take place.
Ren Dong immediately put Xiao Yunzi's matter behind her and replied softly, "Don't worry, my lady. He had people smuggle it in several times mixed with other items. Outsiders will not be able to see anything wrong."
"What did Baojuan say?"
"She still secretly tells that person where the young master is every few days, but she still hasn't discovered that the young master is making medicine."
An Lingrong felt relieved. Ledaotang was really not a good place. If she wanted to do something, she could only do it secretly in the bedroom with Rendong in the middle of the night.
"When I go out in the future, let Baoque look after the house." In his previous life, Baoque was loyal and listened to her and disturbed Shen Meizhuang's fetus. He was beaten to death before he died. In this life, he would protect her if he could.
Inside the Suiyu Pavilion, Zhen Huan looked at Xiao Yunzi, who was lying on the ground with a bruised face and still unconscious, with a look of astonishment on her face, and asked in panic, "Who did this?"
Cui Jinxi answered with a bewildered look on her face: "My lady, Xiao Yunzi was tied up and thrown at the door of Suiyuxuan a quarter of an hour ago. When the servants heard the noise and ran out, they didn't see anyone. What should my lady do now?"
Zhen Huan calmed herself down and said softly, "Wake him up first, find out what happened, and then ask Doctor Wen to come."
Shen Meizhuang looked outside and asked worriedly, "Did anyone notice when you dragged the person into the Suiyu Pavilion?"
Jin Xi shook her head: "Don't worry, Lady Shen, the Sui Yu Xuan is in a remote place, I guarantee that no outsiders will see it."
Shen Meizhuang was still worried. What happened tonight was too strange. She said solemnly, "From now on, no one is allowed to enter Suiyuxuan, but not leave. After Huan'er finds out the reason, all the servants in the palace must be carefully screened."
Cui Jinxi quickly replied: "I know the seriousness of the matter, and I have detained all the new palace servants. I am waiting for the young lady to make a decision."
At this time, Xiao Yunzi, who was splashed with water, woke up slowly. When he saw Zhen Huan, he hurriedly got up from the ground and wanted to kneel down to apologize. Unexpectedly, his wound was touched and he groaned in pain.
Zhen Huan asked with concern: "Are you still injured? Now is not the time to be polite. Please sit down and talk slowly."
Xiao Yunzi said with shame on her face: "I failed the master's trust. I was knocked unconscious by someone."
With Xiao Yunzi's kung fu, someone was able to knock him out. Zhen Huan asked in disbelief, "Did you see who it was?"
Xiao Yunzi blushed and sweated: "He attacked very quickly. He knocked me down before I could react. He also smashed three of my toes and knocked me unconscious."
Shen Meizhuang was so anxious that she asked directly: "Did he say anything?"
"No words were spoken the entire time."
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other in fear. Their minds raced. Finally, Zhen Huan forced herself to calm down and said to Xiao Yunzi, "Wait for Imperial Doctor Wen to come. Ask him to take a good look at you. No matter what medicine he uses, he will make you recover."
Xiao Yunzi shook his head sadly: "Thank you for your grace, my lady, but I know that the bones in my toes are all broken and cannot be healed. I only hope that my lady will not despise me for being lame."
Zhen Huan felt a pain in her heart. Not only did she fail to achieve her original goal, but she was caught by someone. Her chief eunuch was crippled by the other party. She didn't even know who the other party was. But now she had to comfort Xiao Yunzi and the other palace maids. She said gently, "Look at what nonsense you are talking about. You and Huanbi are both my right-hand men. When Doctor Wen comes, let him prescribe medicine first. You should take good care of yourself during this period. When you are well, you must come to work as soon as you can. I can't leave you for a moment."
Xiao Yunzi thanked Zhen Huan profusely, and then was taken away by Jingxi and Huanbi to rest.
After seeing the people leave, Zhen Huan pulled Shen Meizhuang and said sadly: "Sister Mei, what happened tonight was too strange. Our plan was completely seen through by the other party. Concubine Fang stirred up a lot of trouble. All our plans for many days were ruined in one day."
Shen Meizhuang frowned, "Huan'er, I really can't guess what the person behind this is looking for. You are in great favor right now. If ordinary people caught Xiao Yunzi, they would definitely hand him over to the queen in order to punish you and take away your favor. Why did you beat Xiao Yunzi up and let him go?"
Zhen Huan's face was filled with more worry. "Sister Mei, since the incident in the Imperial Garden, I always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching me. They knew everything I did. And about the matter of the flower spike, Eunuch Su investigated for many days but still found nothing. All of this made Huan Er feel scared. I always felt that I would be the next one to die inexplicably."
After falling into the water, Shen Meizhuang already understood the cruelty of the harem. She comforted Zhen Huan: "Huan'er, the knife is already on your neck. We can't just wash your neck and kill you. We should cheer up and plan the next step."
When Zhen Huan heard her serious tone, she calmed down and discussed the matter carefully with Shen Meizhuang.
"Your Majesty, are you really not going to investigate the haunted incident anymore?" Jianqiu couldn't understand why the Queen would just let go of tonight's matter.
The Queen chuckled and said, "Someone set up this trap, but it was full of loopholes and could only scare those ignorant women. But Xia Chang broke it with a reckless man. If I don't investigate further, they will fight again and I can keep my seat as the Queen."
"How did Lady Fang escape?"
The queen continued with a faint smile, "He was lured out by someone. The other party's tactics were clever and ingenious, which is rare."
"No matter how much trouble they make, they can't escape the Queen's eyes."
"However, the Queen Mother can have a good talk about tonight's farce, including the poisoning of Concubine Wan and the tragic death of the maid Hua Sui."
It was late at night, and the calculations of each palace were buried in the darkness.
Two days later, the emperor finally returned to the palace.
