Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

"Xue'er, is the Empress Dowager's medicine ready?" Fu Qing called out from outside.

Xue'er was in a hurry. She threw a small paper bag into the charcoal fire in a hurry, stood up and said, "Hey, okay, I'll be right there."

After saying that, she wanted to check the medicine residue and take out the medicine bag she added in, but Fu Qing urged her again and again outside, so she had to give up. She stirred it casually, picked out the medicine bag wrapped in gauze, and threw it into the charcoal fire.

It should have been burned out when you come back. Then pack up the residue and send it to the hospital for record. It will be perfect!

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief, took the bowl of medicine and walked out quickly with a smile.

"Aunt Fuqing, the medicine has been cold for a while, it should be almost ready, please send it to the Queen Mother first."

"I have the medicine that the miracle doctor needs in my hand. Follow me and deliver it to the empress dowager's bedroom in person." Fu Qing ordered in a cold voice, leaving no room for negotiation.

Xue'er had no choice but to keep up with her.

Doctor Su suddenly appeared behind him, used his folding fan to push aside the thick cotton curtain, and walked in. The charcoal fire was burning brightly. Then, he saw the medicine bag under the black smoke at a glance, and hurriedly picked it out with chopsticks.

Because the medicine bag contained sufficient moisture, only the surface was burned, leaving a handful of orchid seeds inside.

"How cruel! After taking so many drugs, a middle-aged man would probably fall into a deep sleep, let alone an old man."

In the Queen Mother's bedroom, Fu Qing put the medicine bowl aside and said, "Xue'er, you have only been in the palace for a short time, and things in the palace are inevitably complicated. Take good care of the Queen Mother, and you will benefit from it in the future."

Xue'er smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Auntie. Xue'er will remember it."

"There are some things you don't know. The emperor values ​​filial piety and the queen mother. If you do something, not only will you not be able to protect yourself, but even your family will not be able to protect you. If you can tell me in advance, I can protect you from death and your family from harm."

Xue'er was shocked and thought that what she did was not discovered, but then she thought that this was not right and could only pretend to be calm.

"I'm giving you a chance now." Fu Qing said anxiously.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you today? Why are you talking nonsense?"

Fu Qing knew from the look on her face that she would definitely not mention it on her own initiative. He had already suspected her before and was now just waiting for evidence.

As soon as she entered the bedroom and put down the medicine, Xue'er said warmly, "I have nothing to do, so I will feed the Queen Mother the medicine."

"There's no need to rush." ​​Fu Qing stopped her.

"This medicine will get cold if we keep it any longer. If we heat it up again, it might lose its medicinal properties." Xue'er was a little anxious.

Fu Qing still tried to dissuade her from moving. Even though Xue'er was innocent, she felt something was wrong: "What's wrong?"

When Fu Qing was hesitating, not knowing what excuse to make, Doctor Su suddenly ran over in a hurry, holding the medicine bag in his hand.

"The evidence has been found!"

When Xueer saw that the medicine bag was not completely burned, her face immediately turned black and she turned around and wanted to run away.

But Fu Qing would never give her this opportunity, and quickly grabbed her wrist: "Xue'er, I gave you a chance just now to let you explain yourself, but I didn't expect you to be so bold."

"Let me go!" Perhaps driven by the will to survive, Xueer pushed her away and ran forward!

Fuqing was pushed heavily to the ground, his face turning pale with pain.

Doctor Su did not stop them. Xue'er just shouted to the outside of the door, "Come quickly, catch the assassin. Someone is trying to murder the Queen Mother."

Because of the poisoning incident last time, there were many more guards outside the door. After hearing the noise, they hurried over to provide support.

But in just a moment, Xue'er, who had no power to resist, was pinned to the ground by the guards.

She was escorted into the bedroom and pressed heavily to the ground.

"Who sent you?" Fu Qing stood up staggeringly, holding his injured knee, and asked her coldly: "Who wants to murder the Queen Mother?"

Xue'er rolled her eyes and bit her lips tightly: "You can kill me if you want, I won't say a word."

"Why bother? You're wasting your life for a little useless money. When you die, your family will naturally be sad for you." Fu Qing said with a frown.

Xue'er pursed her lips, looking somewhat touched, but after a long while, she still raised her head stubbornly: "No one ordered me to do that."

Fu Qing sighed and looked at the guards: "This is a matter of great importance. I dare not take the initiative. Since you are sent by the emperor, you must tell the emperor everything about this matter."

"We understand. Hand the person over to us first. Aunt, please take good care of the empress dowager." The guard nodded and waved his hand to take the person down.

In the Qinzheng Hall, the emperor has been working day and night for the border guard rotation and has not had a good night's sleep for several days.

Debao walked in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the leader of the guard team, Lord Yu, wants to see you."

"What's the matter again?" The emperor raised his head unhappily.

Debao knew that the emperor was in a bad mood recently and would get angry easily, so he naturally said, "It's a matter of Xingqing Palace, it's a serious matter, they dare not take the initiative, so they must ask to see the emperor."

When the emperor heard that it was something about the Empress Dowager's palace, he immediately perked up: "Hurry and invite the person in."

Lord Yu stepped in, knelt on the ground and reported: "Your Majesty, there was an assassin who attacked the palace tonight and was caught on the spot. It was confirmed that the assassin was a maid who had just arrived to serve the Empress Dowager's palace. Her name was Xue'er."

"How dare you!" The emperor slammed the table and stood up, his face full of anger: "Are these traitors trying to overthrow my country?"

Lord Yu continued to explain the details clearly.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing worth noting. This person took an excessive amount of orchid seeds and tried to put them into the Queen Mother's medicine. He was discovered on the spot. Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not drink the medicine, otherwise, the miracle doctor would be helpless."

When the emperor heard that it was poison, he felt a little confused.

Shen Mengyao has been arrested. No one else is allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Empress Dowager's palace. Who else can do this?

The more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed. This matter seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see clearly or guess.

The emperor asked in a deep voice: "Did Xue'er interrogate him?"

Lord Yu answered meticulously, "He has been taken to the inner prison. Does the emperor want to interrogate him personally?"

"There's no need to bring these dirty things before me." The emperor waved his hand.

Just at this moment De Baoyou walked in trembling with fear and reported in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, the head of the inner prison, Eunuch Luo, requests to see you."

"Could it be that the person has been interrogated? Please come in." The emperor said immediately.
