Hua Xiulan frowned as she looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground and asked in a serious tone, "Does this young eunuch have any acquaintances?"

The maid replied tremblingly: "Your Highness, I don't know..."

Hua Xiulan turned to look at the palace maid and continued to ask, "Has mother offended anyone recently?"

The maid still lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I don't know..."

Hua Xiulan suddenly raised her voice and shouted angrily: "How dare you! You don't know anything? What's the point of keeping you by my side?!" Her eyes widened, filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

The maid was so frightened that she trembled all over and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Princess, please spare me, please spare me..."

Hua Xiulan snorted coldly and ignored the maid, turning her gaze elsewhere. She wondered in her heart, who on earth wanted to harm her mother? This question had been lingering in her mind, making her feel very uneasy.

She asked Chuntao to go back to the palace and ask the prince consort to investigate the case, saying that she was visiting her mother. After all, the poisoning of the virtuous concubine had not been made public, and if she investigated it in a big way, it would probably alert the enemy.

Soon, Jun Moli arrived at the palace. Seeing Jun Moli coming, Hua Xiulan hurriedly went to greet him and said, "Moli, mother is poisoned."

Jun Moli's face darkened when he heard this, and he comforted her, "Lan'er, don't be afraid, I've invited a miracle doctor."

Hua Xiulan felt relieved when she heard this, but she still asked with some worry, "Where is the miracle doctor?" As she spoke, she looked behind Jun Moli, but she didn't see the miracle doctor. She only saw a man dressed as a eunuch standing there.

When the "eunuch" saw Hua Xiulan looking at him, he walked forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Princess." Then he raised his head, revealing a delicate face.

Hua Xiulan looked at the "eunuch" in front of her in surprise and was speechless for a moment. She never thought that the so-called miracle doctor would be such a young and beautiful woman.

Jun Moli saw her confusion and explained, "This is the miracle doctor Jiang Yu. She doesn't like to wear women's clothes and has been dressed as a man for many years." Hua Xiulan finally understood that the person in front of her was the famous miracle doctor. She quickly helped Jiang Yu up and said, "It turns out to be the miracle doctor Jiang. Please come in quickly."

The group arrived at Concubine Xian's bedroom, only to find that she was pale and unconscious. Jiang Yu immediately stepped forward to treat Concubine Xian.

She took out a silver needle and gently inserted it into the acupuncture point of Concubine Xian. After a moment, she pulled out the silver needle and carefully observed the changes in the needle tip.

Everyone looked at her nervously, afraid of hearing bad news. Jiang Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "The queen was poisoned by a rare poison called 'heart-eating poison'. This poison is extremely toxic and can gradually erode a person's internal organs. If the poison is not detoxified in time, there may be a risk of life."

"Is there any solution?" Hua Xiulan asked anxiously.

Jiang Yu nodded slightly, "There is a solution, but it requires some special herbs. I have made a list." As she spoke, she handed Hua Xiulan a piece of paper.

Hua Xiulan took the list and took a look at it. It listed various rare herbs, some of which she had never even heard of.

"These medicines..." Hua Xiulan looked embarrassed.

"I will send someone to look for her." Jun Moli said, "No matter what, we must cure Mother."

"Thank you, Mo Li." Hua Xiulan looked at him gratefully.

"We are all family, there is no need to thank me." Jun Moli said with a smile.

Jiang Yu began to prepare a temporary antidote, while everyone waited anxiously on the side.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Jiang Yu stopped.

"Alright." She let out a long breath, "After your majesty drinks this antidote, you need to rest for a while."

Hua Xiulan quickly fed Concubine Xian the antidote, and then quietly stayed by her bedside.

Not long after, Concubine Xian's breathing gradually became steady and her face regained some color.

"But this is just a temporary solution. If we want to completely eliminate the toxin, we need to find the person who poisoned it." Jiang Yu said solemnly.

Hua Xiulan's eyes were sharp, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let go of any clues!"

At this moment, there was a noise outside the door.

"What's going on?" Hua Xiulan asked with a frown.

"Princess, it's Concubine Xi who's here." The palace maid reported.

Hua Xiulan had an ominous premonition in her heart, "What is she doing here?"

Before he finished speaking, Concubine Xi had already brought people into the room.

"What a touching picture!" Concubine Xi said sarcastically.

"Empress Xi, what do you mean by this?" Hua Xiulan asked.

"What do you mean? Humph! I am really moved by the deep love between you two as mother and daughter!" Concubine Xi said gritting her teeth.

Hua Xiulan glared at Concubine Xi, "Stop being so sarcastic here! I will get to the bottom of the matter of poisoning my mother!"

"Poisoning? Where is the evidence?" the imperial concubine said provocatively.

"The imperial doctors have checked and confirmed that my mother has been poisoned!" Hua Xiulan said firmly.

"Imperial physician? The imperial physician may not be reliable! Maybe you are deliberately framing me!" Concubine Xi was making a fuss.

"You..." Hua Xiulan was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing!" Jun Moli stopped them, "The most urgent thing is to find the real culprit, not to argue here."

"Well said!" Concubine Xi said proudly, "Then wait until you find the evidence before you tell me!" After that, she left with her men.

Hua Xiulan clenched her fists tightly and vowed to make Concubine Xi pay the price.

"Isn't Concubine Xi under house arrest? Why is she here?" Hua Xiulan frowned and asked in confusion.

The maid quickly explained: "Princess, you don't know. Ever since the emperor said that Concubine Xi was innocent before he fainted, he ordered Concubine Xi to be released."

When Hua Xiulan heard this, her eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "What? The Queen Mother doesn't care?"

The maid shook her head helplessly and said, "The Queen is now guarding the Emperor's bedside and has no time to take care of other things."

Hua Xiulan was confused. The emperor actually pardoned Concubine Xi after he fell ill and ignored the queen's opinion. Something must have happened that they didn't know about.

"Lan'er, don't worry." Jun Moli comforted her, "The most important thing right now is to cure mother's illness. We will consider other matters later."

"But Concubine Xi will definitely not give up now. We must be careful about her movements." Hua Xiulan said worriedly.

"I will send more people to protect my mother's safety." Jun Moli said, "As for Concubine Xi, I will also send people to secretly monitor her."

Hua Xiulan nodded. This was the only way now. She looked at the unconscious Concubine Xian and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that she would recover soon.

Hua Xiulan: "Mo Li, will Yao'er cry if we don't return home?"

Jun Moli looked at Hua Xiulan tenderly, gently held her hand and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Yao'er has a nanny to take care of him, and he is also very well behaved, so he shouldn't cry or make a fuss."

Hua Xiulan frowned slightly and said worriedly: "But I'm still a little worried. After all, Yao'er is still young and needs his mother's company."

Jun Moli comforted him, "We are only away for a while. Besides, Yao'er is still immature. When he grows up, he will naturally understand us."

Hua Xiulan sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, I hope so. But I still have to spend more time with Yaoer in the future and don't let him feel lonely."

Jun Moli smiled and agreed: "Okay, I understand. In the future, we will often stay with Yaoer and give him enough love and companionship."

After hearing this, Hua Xiulan felt relieved and finally showed a relieved smile on her face. She and Jun Moli began to prepare for the break.

Jun Moli asked softly, "Is the right hall clean?" Hua Xiulan nodded gently and replied, "Yes." Then, Jun Moli said gently, "Then let's go and rest. Chuntao is guarding the main hall, don't worry." Hua Xiulan asked a little worriedly, "Is mother really okay?" Jun Moli comforted her, "It's okay, Dr. Jiang is here too, she will always pay attention to mother's condition."

Hearing Jun Moli say this, Hua Xiulan felt relieved a little. The two of them went to the right hall together, ready to have a good rest.
