The female general was reborn in the enemy's house? They all die!

"Poison?!"

The emperor's eyes widened when he heard this, with a look of surprise filling his pupils: "You are not a female doctor, how did you find out that this soup is poisonous?"

As if she had guessed the emperor would ask, Rong Sheng was not panicked at all at this moment: "Your Majesty, although I know very little about conventional medical skills, I am familiar with Xi Chu's secret method of curing diseases."

"When I was treating Madam Wei, I found that she had been poisoned for a long time, so her condition was getting worse."

"Later, I invited the Zhou court official to come, and only then did I know that the poison was actually hidden in the medicine."

"Oh?" The emperor pondered for a moment, still half-believing and half-doubting, "Since the medicine was poisonous, didn't you investigate the palace maid who was in charge of the medicine in detail?"

He finally asked this...

Rong Sheng raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Concubine Wei imperceptibly.

Immediately, Concubine Wei's clear eyes swept around the hall, and she said softly, "Seal the door, and no one present is allowed to move around."

The eunuch at the door received the order and quickly closed the doors of the bedroom one by one, even the half-open windows.

"Your Majesty, I know who poisoned you."

"My dear concubine, please feel free to speak." The emperor became more and more curious.

Concubine Wei glanced at Rong Sheng again and said, "Then please ask Princess Yong'an to help me find it out."

"Yes, ma'am."

Rong Sheng responded lightly and stood up with a flick of his sleeves.

At this moment, all the maids in Lanhua Palace were present in the hall to welcome the emperor.

Rong Sheng's slender figure wandered beside each of them, but there was no intention of stopping.

After a moment, she finally fixed her eyes on the screen.

The screen with overlapping brocade flowers was shaking slightly at this moment.

"Stop hiding, come out."

The corners of Rong Sheng's mouth curled up slightly.

Then, she gracefully moved a corner of the screen, and the person hiding behind it suddenly appeared.

"Miss Xiangzhu, it's already this time, is it still useful to hide?"

"My Lord...My Lord, I don't understand what you are saying."

Xiangzhu shook his head desperately and clung to a corner of the screen, refusing to get up.

"Your Majesty is here, why are you hiding here?"

"I am just a coward..."

"timid?"

Rong Sheng sneered, "You are already a top-ranking maid in Lanhua Palace, and you never even flinched in front of His Majesty before."

"Princess, you..."

Before Xiang Zhu could figure out why Rong Sheng had seen her before, she was pulled out from behind the screen.

Xiang Zhu was forced to kneel before the Emperor and Concubine Wei, his whole body trembling as he curled up on the ground like a puddle of mud.

"Keep your head up!"

When the emperor saw the incense and candles shaking like this, he already guessed the answer.

Xiangzhu listened to the emperor's extremely cold and stern command, and her shoulders immediately shrank, and she was so scared that tears flowed like a fountain.

She raised her head and sobbed, but did not dare to face Concubine Wei's kind face.

"Xiangzhu, you were the one who poisoned me some time ago. Do you admit it?"

"I...I didn't poison anyone, I really didn't..." Xiangzhu shook her head desperately, refusing to admit it.

"After Imperial Doctor Zhou came the day before yesterday, Xiao Enzi, who helped you tip off, was also detained by me."

Seeing that Xiangzhu was not cooperating, Concubine Wei raised her eyelashes and said, "This little Enzi is a eunuch of Lanhua Palace. He has been in the palace for three years. Even if you don't want to live, you still have to think about others, right?"

"As long as you tell the truth, I will not blame you, and I will also give you and Xiao Enzi a good home. It depends on whether you can seize this opportunity."

As soon as Xiangzhu heard the word "Xiao Enzi", his crying stopped abruptly.

Tears glistened in her eyes as she pondered the meaning behind Concubine Wei's words. Her twitching shoulders slowly relaxed as she quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind.

No wonder Xiangzhu was in such a dilemma. This little Enzi said he was a eunuch, but it was a fake.

He is actually Xiangzhu's younger brother.

Three years ago, something bad happened in Xiangzhu's family, leaving him with only this young brother.

If incense and candles are not used to look after them, then this only relative will end up on the streets, and there's no telling when he'll starve or freeze to death.

And this little Enzi is the only male in the family——

Xiang Zhu had gained some reputation in the palace following Concubine Wei over the years, so she worked hard to use her connections to help her brother, who had not yet undergone castration, sneak into the palace and become a eunuch.

Later, she gave a little money to assign her brother to work in Lanhua Palace.

Everything was going well at first, but somehow, a few days ago, the maid in the Queen's palace discovered little Enzi's secret.

So the Queen had this handle, so that the two siblings could help her poison Concubine Wei unwillingly...

"How about it, have you thought it through?"

Concubine Wei observed Xiangzhu's expression calmly, and found that he was still undecided, so she shook her head silently: "Then bring Xiao Enzi up."

"Yes, madam!"

Just as the guard was about to leave, Xiang Zhu suddenly stood up and said to Concubine Wei, "Your Majesty, wait!"

Concubine Wei glanced at the incense and candles, waved to the guard, and the guard stepped aside.

"Xiangzhu, my patience is running out, but this is because you have served me for many years."

Xiangzhu nodded hurriedly: "Reporting to the queen, there is no need to ask Xiao Enzi to come up. This slave girl pleads guilty. This slave girl pleads guilty to everything!"

When the emperor heard this, his anger surged out like a flame, and he shouted coldly, "You daring servant, if you admit it, why don't you speak up!"

"It's the Emperor..."

Xiangzhu was shocked by the emperor's stern shout and shrank her head back again, but her eyes became much more determined: "It was indeed me who poisoned the medicine for the queen."

"I believe I have always treated you well, why do you want to harm me?" Concubine Wei finally asked what she wanted to ask most.

She had been in the harem for many years, and she didn't care no matter how much sarcasm and secret tactics she endured from the empress and other concubines.

But the only thing she cannot tolerate is the betrayal of the people she trusts.

Xiang Zhu had followed her since she was a child and was her most trusted palace maid, so she had Xiang Zhu in charge of her diet and medicine while she was recuperating in Yanhuan Mountain.

But he never expected that he still couldn't escape the Queen's conspiracy.

"Please forgive me, Madam Wei. I will never forget your kindness to me," Xiangzhu cried. This time she really regretted betraying Madam Wei. "But I had no choice. Today, I will give my life to you, Madam Wei!"

Before he finished his words, Xiang Zhu suddenly raised his right arm in full view of everyone, and with an extremely fast speed, he pulled the long sword out of the sheath of the guard next to him.

But before she could insert the sharp blade into her neck, Rong Sheng hit her with a hidden palm.

"what--"

Xiangzhu cried out in pain, and the sword fell to the ground.

Everything happened so fast that the guard standing by was still stunned where he was.

Upon seeing this, Rong Sheng quickly stepped forward and pinned the incense stick to the ground with one palm, making it unable to move.

"Miss Xiangzhu, do you want to die before you have explained everything clearly?"
