Yongzheng had originally had his doubts about this, but after hearing what An Lingrong said, he agreed with it and turned around to make a request to Doctor Wu.

"The Queen's headache is indeed an old illness. I won't make it difficult for you. If you are not sure that the medicine can cure the disease, then ask the Imperial Hospital to replace it with someone more capable!"

After saying this, Yongzheng turned to the empress and gave her some instructions, asking her to take good care of herself. As for the matters at hand, she could leave them to Concubine Qi and Concubine Hua to help take care of them.

"What the emperor said is..."

The queen was not at all happy about the sudden concern.

If Yongzheng had said this to her under normal circumstances, the Queen would have been a little touched.

But now, when the Queen thought about having to rest and recuperate, and then share her power with Concubine Qi and Concubine Hua, she felt furious.

Concubine Qi is fine, at least she is in our camp, but who is Concubine Hua!

The Queen had finally devised a plan to seize Hua Fei's power to assist in managing the six palaces, so naturally she was unwilling to watch Hua Fei make a comeback.

But she was the one who pretended to be sick, and she was the one who ordered Taiyi to be found. Everything happened just by coincidence. The queen was like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express her pain.

"Okay, I'm leaving first."

The emperor, of course, had no idea what the queen was thinking. He just nodded at her and prepared to take his people away.

But before leaving, Yongzheng seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped again, and waved to An Lingrong, "Noble Lady An, please come with me!"

An Lingrong was also stunned when she was suddenly called out.

However, since it was the emperor who said this, she certainly didn't need to look at the empress's ugly face. She nodded immediately, then raised her hand to salute the empress and said, "I will take my leave. Please take care of yourself and rest in peace!"

After saying this, An Lingrong immediately walked towards Yongzheng.

When Yongzheng asked An Lingrong to accompany him, the Queen's face became gloomy for a moment. Fortunately, she was good at disguising herself, so the Emperor did not notice this change.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"

The Queen's face showed the same gentle smile as always, and then she respectfully watched the Emperor take An Lingrong away from her Jingren Palace.

"My lady..."

Jianqiu and Doctor Wu also knelt on the ground and watched the emperor leave. At this time, she shifted her attention to the queen, and her tone was very frightened.

Now that the emperor is gone, there is naturally no need to continue pretending.

The Queen instantly regained her expressionless look, and then she said to Doctor Wu, "Go back and check for me! Noble Lady An and Noble Lady Shen, check all their past pulse cases one by one, and carefully sort out the clues. I don't believe they can really hide the truth!"

"Yes, yes..." Doctor Wu was so frightened by the Queen's current state that he dared not utter a word. He just nodded in agreement repeatedly without saying anything else.

Seeing this, Jianqiu hesitated for a while before saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down! It's not difficult for you to check these things, but if the news is false, your actions will certainly attract attention!"

Jianqiu did not support the Queen getting involved at this time, but the Queen refused to listen to her advice at all, so she went to Yonghe Palace to pay her respects to Lingrong first, and then went to the Imperial Hospital to call for Doctor Wu.

Now that the Queen has made a mess of things, Jianqiu feels that she cannot escape the blame. Besides, she also does not want her own Queen to continue down this path which might be wrong.

"You still have something to say?" The Queen glared at Jianqiu and said unhappily, "You have followed me for many years, but you are so foolish! When you knew that the Emperor was coming, you should have acted decisively and responded accordingly instead of putting me in this embarrassing situation!"

"I admit my guilt, please calm down, Madam..."

Jianqiu understood that the Queen was very angry and would not listen to anything she said, so she did not insist on persuading the Queen to change her mind, but chose to admit her mistake honestly.

On the other side, Doctor Wu was also kneeling on the ground without getting up. He looked at the Queen with hesitation, as if he didn't know whether he should help the Queen to check.

"What's wrong? Are my words no longer effective? Why are you so inconsistent?"

The Queen was already unhappy, and seeing that Doctor Wu dared to hesitate in the face of her order was like adding fuel to the fire, making her fury even more intense.

"Yes, yes, I will go back to the Imperial Hospital to check it out right away!"

Doctor Wu was a little hesitant at first, but facing the Queen's cold and angry eyes, he no longer dared to hesitate and quickly said that he would go back to help check it out.

After saying this, he didn't wait for the queen to answer and ran out of Jingren Palace like a gust of wind.

The queen snorted coldly and did not continue to dwell on the matter. Instead, she asked Jianqiu to help her go back.

There are too many variables right now, and the queen can’t see clearly.

As for what to do next, the Queen thought she needed to think carefully and make a decision later!

"By the way, Madam, do you need to notify Concubine Qi again?"

Jianqiu was worried that all these things were caused by Concubine Qi who volunteered to "tip off" the Queen, which led to a series of events.

At the moment, they were unable to successfully strike against Concubine An, but were instead tricked. Concubine Qi was also to blame.

"No, let me calm down for a while."

The Queen knew that Concubine Qi was not smart to begin with. If this was a trap, it definitely wasn't Concubine Qi who was behind it.

If you say it was Noble Lady Fucha, it would be more credible.

But then again, Noble Lady Fucha had previously chosen to side with Concubine Hua, but now she suddenly changed sides and provided Concubine Qi with such a "handle".

Think about it from another angle. Is it possible that it was Concubine Hua who instructed Noble Lady Fucha to do this?

The Queen had been a little too credulous before, and she thought that everything was under her control.

No matter how clever An Lingrong is, she still can't cause any trouble as she is in her own territory.

However, no matter how much she planned, she did not expect the emperor to come, which resulted in the queen's entire plan being disrupted.

Now that she had calmed down a little, the queen reviewed the matter again and felt that it was full of suspicions everywhere.

Thinking of this, the queen's eyes lit up with coldness, and she said to Jianqiu, "Arrange some people to carefully check the situation around Noble Lady Fucha. If there is anything unusual, report it directly to me. Be careful not to alert the enemy. Not only must Noble Lady Fucha not notice it, but Concubine Qi must also not be alerted."

"Yes, I understand, slave."

When Jianqiu heard this, she knew that the Queen was suspicious of Noble Lady Fucha, and a look of solidarity immediately appeared on her face. She nodded, then ran out to start making arrangements.
