Queen's favorite

In a flash, another seven days passed, and half a month had passed since Zhongliyu fell ill.

Qi Changle stayed by Zhongliyu's side every day, even though she was using the excuse of being a bed attendant, even though she had been scolded as a coquettish concubine inside and outside the palace, Qi Changle just ignored it and didn't mind at all.

After all, the only thing she cares about at the moment is Zhong Liyu.

But half a month has passed, and there is still no news about the miracle doctor.

Although there were a few folk doctors who secretly came to the palace to see a doctor, they had no cure for the remaining poison in Zhongliyu's body.

And the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital, even if they have searched their medical skills, are still at a loss.

Everyone can only watch Zhong Liyu suffer from the poisonous hair, if he wakes up, he will be in pain, or else he can only fall into a deep sleep.

Qi Changle sometimes even wonders if there is no miracle doctor in this world who can relieve Zhongliyu's remaining poison... Is it because Zhongliyu is doomed that there can only be death.

Now Zhong Liyu's waking time is getting shorter and longer, Qi Changle is really afraid that one day she won't be able to wake up again...

And at that time, I am afraid that the result she is least willing to face will come.

Although King Shenjun had already been dismissed, as time went by, Zhong Liyu still did not appear in court, and the rumors in the court were faintly wrong.

There are even many ministers who would rather take the risk of being punished and convicted by Zhong Liyu, but they must report and try their best to make Zhongli Yu face the court.

Though a tyrant is frightening and dangerous, the absence of a king is still more frightening.

However, all the notes of the ministers were suppressed by Su Muhe.

Even if Zhongliyu saw it, so what, according to Zhongliyu's current situation, even if it was very difficult to get up, how could he go to court.

Now Zhong Liyu has lost a lot of weight, and she is relying on decoctions to sustain her life every day, but this is not a permanent solution. After a long time, I am afraid that her weakness will gradually deepen, and when the time comes, if she is attacked by the remaining poison, then...

Qi Changle stayed by Zhongliyu's side every day, and even seldom went back to Changle Palace. Although she knew that the rumors outside were not good, and even the harem began to talk about it, but now she didn't have the mind to deal with these things. .

It's always better for rumors to come to her, and it's better than those people speculating about Zhong Liyu's physical condition.

Zhong Liyu was comatose and weak due to the poison, Qi Changle actually didn't need much care by her side, after all, she was a comatose person.But now Qi Changle's expression is fragile, his lips are pale, and he is not much different from a sick person.

Although she doesn't need to expend energy to take care of her, the worry and sadness in her heart will not decrease in the slightest, but are consuming her spirit.

Qi Changle was by Zhongliyu's side, watching him suffer pain every day was another kind of torture.

Especially... when Zhong Liyu was in a coma longer and longer, Qi Changle's heart sank more and more.

It was like hiding a thick piece of ice, heavy and cold.

When Su Muhe took care of her in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qi Changle finally had time to go back to Changle Palace.

Of course, she still took good care of herself before leaving.

After all, she couldn't reveal the information, and she had to properly display the image of a concubine serving the bed.

Su Xi and the others didn't know about the situation of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Although they were annoyed that Qi Changle was surrounded by rumors, it was a joyful thing for their master to be favored, so they didn't specifically mention the rumors to make Qi Changle stick.

And Qi Changle's subtle tiredness unconsciously revealed in his brows and eyes naturally had a better explanation.

Seeing the ladies in the palace deliberately saying nice things one by one in order to flatter her and make her happy, such as... "The people outside are just sour, anyway, the master is tired and they can't bear it anyway", Qi Changle laughed. At the same time, it is also a little uncomfortable.

After all, she wanted it to be true more than anyone.

In the past, perhaps there was more or less a feeling of wishing for the real bedtime, after all, she also hoped that the fake would come true.But now, Qi Changle doesn't think about those things that are there anymore.

She has only one wish, and that is to make Zhongli Yu better.

After a while, probably upon hearing the news that Qi Changle had returned from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Wang Xiyi took the initiative to come to see her.

Only then did Qi Changle think of what happened between her and Ying Xu.

Before seeing Wang Xiyi, Qi Changle turned his head and asked Suxi: "What's going on with Yingshoucheng?"

Su Xi frowned slightly, "The servants are observing, and it seems that there is no special situation, but the common people have contacts with Wang Ying, Liu Ying, and Ren Ying, it's the same as before."

Then Suxi paused, "Speaking of which, the king promised to find a servant to send some thick clothes and bedding to the cold palace, presumably for the common people to have a good winter."

Qi Changle lowered his eyes, thinking about something.

Su Xi paused, and carefully guessed: "Your Majesty is worried... Is the concubine taking advantage of the king's promise to harm you?"

Qi Changle nodded slowly.

Not only that.

If in the past she was worried that Ying Xucheng would only be bad for her, then now because of King Shenjun, Qi Changle was worried that the other party would be bad for Zhong Liyu.

Although Ying Xucheng could do nothing in the cold palace, she was still a little worried.

She just wished she was worrying too much.

Qi Changle took a deep breath, "Go let the king agree to come over."

Soon, Wang Xiyi walked in.

She had a smile on her face, "My sister is really enjoying the pampering this morning."

Qi Changle bent his lips, didn't evade, but just accepted Wang Xiyi's compliment with a smile.

Then she asked, "What are you doing here this time?"

Wang Xiyi was a little coquettish: "My sister still asked me, I don't see my sister every day, but today I finally have the opportunity to see my sister, and my sister still hates me?"

Qi Changle chuckled lightly: "How could that be?"

Wang Xiyi propped her chin and sighed: "It's so good, my sister has fulfilled her wish, and her lover has achieved a true fruition."

Hearing her emotion, Qi Changle's eyes moved slightly, intending to find out the news from her, and asked: "Then what about you and Ying Xucheng? You swore before that you would prove it to me, how is the situation now?"

Hearing her words, Wang Xiyi brought a smile on her face, "I came here for this purpose. Ying Shucheng said that he wanted to see his sister, and he said he wanted to express his feelings to her and prove himself."

Qi Changle raised his eyebrows in surprise, narrowed his eyes, "He wants to see me in person...?"

Wang Xiyi nodded.

Qi Changle lowered his eyes, thinking slightly.

She was also considering whether to go to see Ying Xiucheng.

It is true that she was indeed wary of whether the other party might be preparing some conspiracy against her, and to be honest Qi Changle didn't want to meet him under such circumstances.but……

If Yingshoucheng really had a conspiracy, and it was not aimed at her, but at Zhong Liyu, then if she didn't go this time, she would definitely regret it.

Thinking of this, Qi Changle made up his mind.

She raised her head and chuckled: "If that's the case, then I'll go and see you."

Wang Xiyi was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Thank you, sister Changle."

Qi Changle bent his lips and said nothing.

Although the Leng Palace is in the harem, it is far away from most people's palaces. After all, a remote place is the "best" arrangement for the Leng Palace.

Otherwise, the Leng Gong cannot be called the Leng Palace.

Because the weather is getting cooler and the climate is declining, and the location of the cold palace is not good, it is even more desolate.

Ying Xucheng was relegated to the cold palace because he provoked Qi Changle and angered the queen, plus he was demoted to a commoner, so the situation in this cold palace was not good.

Zhong Liyu has no interest in clearing up the harem's discipline, otherwise he would not have allowed Ying Shicheng to behave mischievously for two years without management, so although the palace people below are afraid of Zhong Liyu, it doesn't mean they don't have their own thoughts.

Sometimes, the more fearful you are, the more certain dark sides will grow in your heart.

Therefore, when facing these concubines who have been thrown into the cold palace and made mistakes, they sometimes do some insulting things.Although not serious, it also makes life difficult for them.

Ying Shucheng should have been one of these people, after all, he has no real protection at all, and he is still the target of public criticism.

But because of Wang Xiyi's shot later, he saved some hard work.

But even so, Ying Tucheng couldn't return to the luxurious and noble life in the past.

Qi Changle walked into the cold palace, looked at the small side hall assigned to Ying Xucheng, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

I don't know how the concubine Ying used to adapt to such a situation.

Entering the hall, Qi Changle saw the current Ying Xucheng.

He is very different from what he used to be, and of course he thinks so, after all, how could being a concubine and being a common man be the same.

Ying Xucheng seemed a little surprised to see Qi Changle and Wang Xiyi coming in. After all, he didn't expect that Qi Changle would actually come here, and thinking of the words that King Shenjun had worked so hard to pass on to him... Ying Xucheng's eyes lit up. blinked.

Qi Changle didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "I heard that you want to see me?"

Ying Xucheng restrained his emotions, no longer the arrogance hidden under his eyes when they first met, but became much more restrained.

He nodded, "I have met Concubine Jue, yes... I want to see you."

According to Ying Xucheng's current status, he should call himself a grassroots person, but he must have known it himself, but he couldn't pass the test in his heart.

Qi Changle didn't care much, and didn't want to pursue this with him.

"I think you should know what Wang and I promised to say, so... are you sure to convince me?"

Ying Shucheng hesitated slightly, and then asked, "I wonder if I can talk to Concubine Jue alone?"

Qi Changle raised his eyebrows slightly.

Seeing this, Su Xi who came with her said, "Your Majesty, no."

She is also cautious, after all, there is a feud between Ying Xucheng and Qi Changle.Even if the other party is really only for "persuasion" today, Su Xi is not at ease to let Ying Shucheng and Qi Changle get along alone.

Who knows, what bad idea he will come up with.

Naturally, Qi Changle didn't have this idea, after all, she is not a good person, so how could she follow Ying Shucheng's idea in everything.

So she chuckled, "If you want to say it, just say it, if you don't... then forget it."

Seeing this, Wang Xiyi was a little anxious, she bit her lips: "Ying, Ying Shicheng...you speak quickly."

Ying Shucheng glanced at her, and suddenly smiled, "Concubine Jue, are you sure you want me to speak directly here?"

Qi Changle looked at him with gloomy black eyes and a faint smile on his lips.

Sure enough, his nature is hard to change, even if he came to the cold palace, Ying Xucheng is still the same as before.

This also made Qi Changle more convinced that he had no good intentions from the beginning to the end.

On the contrary, Wang Xiyi couldn't react, and was still simply anxious.

Ying Shucheng took a step forward and approached Qi Changle. He observed Qi Changle with scrutiny in his eyes, and then suddenly said softly: "Empress Juefei, I have already noticed what you are worried about."

This sentence obviously means something.If Qi Changle had a weak heart, he would probably have exposed something because of his words.Perhaps it directly conveyed Zhongli Yudu's serious illness through emotions.

But it's a pity that Qi Changle won't reveal any emotions just because of his plausible statement, because she is more inclined to deceive herself by Ying Xucheng.

In terms of controlling emotions, Qi Changle thinks he is doing a good job.

She just smiled, and asked instead of answering: "It seems that King Shen still found a way to enter the palace before leaving? Or, is there any other way of contact between you?"

Qi Changle was very calm, "I can probably guess why King Shen is so eager to get the answer, but it's a pity..."

She smiled lightly, with joy in her brows and eyes, as if it was true.

"What King Shenjun conjectures in his heart is destined to be just speculation. If you can reply to King Shenjun, you can reply him like this. Please don't worry about Junjun Shen, just stay in the fief with peace of mind until your old age dies, maybe wait for him to pass away , His Majesty will soften his heart and let him go back to the capital. It's just that the one who came back at that time...maybe only the tomb of King Shenjun."

There was a smile in her eyes, but her words were sharp.

Ying Xucheng's complexion changed, and he could hardly control his emotions.

Wang Xiyi was stunned. Although she couldn't understand what the two were talking about, she could understand the atmosphere and emotions between them.

"Don't...don't be noisy..." Her voice was weak, and she didn't have the confidence to speak.

Qi Changle has no intention of arguing with Ying Xucheng, but she understands that she must not back down at this time, if she takes a step back, Zhong Liyu will be in danger.

So she ignored Wang Xiyi's dissuasion, and just took a step forward with a smile on her face, as if she wasn't afraid at all.

"What's the matter, Young Master Ying, do you seem to have something to say to Bengong?"

Ying Xucheng gritted his teeth, "No, it's fine."

But then, he remembered a judgment his father had said, and narrowed his eyes, his eyes flicked across Qi Changle, but he felt a little guilty.

Because he wasn't sure if what his father said was credible, after all, how could he know if this woman...would have changed after going to bed.

Although he was upset in his heart, Ying Xucheng didn't tear himself apart, because he still needed Wang Xiyi's help, so Ying Xucheng suppressed the emotions in his heart, forced a smile and took a step back, apologizing with Qi Changle.

Qi Changle looked at him, and didn't have the intention to continue targeting Ying Shucheng. After all, the other party stopped, even if she wanted to pursue it, she might not be able to catch anything. Therefore, Qi Changle lowered his eyes indifferently, and was about to leave .

Wang Xiyi did not follow Qi Changle, because the development of today's affairs was completely beyond her expectation.

She originally thought...she originally thought innocently and happily that everything was getting better.Although Ying Xucheng had done bad things in the past, but now he has been punished and repented, and the other party is still sincere, so as long as he can explain his thoughts to Qi Changle properly, then it is possible to succeed.

At that time, the two of them can also achieve a positive result.

Wang Xiyi expected so much.

But she never expected that not only did Ying Xucheng not say anything, but the development of the matter was completely different from what she had imagined.

"Xi Yi."

Wang Xiyi stepped back abruptly, she pursed her lips, "You...why did you say those words?" Her eyes were filled with sadness, "Didn't you say that when Sister Changle came, you would promise her well, You will love me, and you will express your feelings well, and fight for the future of the two of us, but why, why did you say those words?"

There was disbelief in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly.

"Are you still hating Sister Changle, wanting, wanting to plot against her?"

Ying Xucheng looked at her, and then took a step forward, trying to hold Wang Xiyi's hand, but Wang Xiyi took a step back, avoiding him.

Ying Xucheng lowered his eyes, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he still made an affectionate look.

"Xiyi, listen to my explanation...me too, I have something to hide."

He has sad eyebrows and eyes, and portrays himself as a poor man who has to obey his father's orders.

"I'm also doing it for the future of the two of us. If I accomplish this, then my father will accept you. Although I have been demoted to a commoner, I am still from the Shenjun Palace, so if we After I am free, my father will decide my marriage, don't you want me to marry you in a dignified way?"

Wang Xiyi paused.

Ying Xucheng explained a few more words for himself, and Wang Xiyi finally calmed down.

"But your father... why did Prince Shen ask those questions?"

"I don't know." Ying Xucheng shook his head superficially, but in fact, he naturally knew.

The father wanted to find out whether Qi Changle was really serving the bed, so as to judge whether Zhongliyu had been lingering because of his obsession with beauty in the past half month, or whether it was a real residual poison and unable to go to court.

So it's important to be clear about that.

It's a pity...Qi Changle is really calm, even if he suddenly bluffs, she won't have any openings.

So it's probably impossible to rely on this method, so there is only...

Thinking of this, Ying Shucheng's eyes shifted to Wang Xiyi.

"Xi Yi, can you do me a favor?"

……

Qi Changle probably understands what Ying Shucheng is thinking, but the other party will never get any news from her.After all, Qi Changle is somewhat good at disguising himself.

After she went back, Suqiao suddenly came to report: "Madam, Eunuch Huang is waiting for you inside."

Hearing that Huang Zhongjin was coming, Qi Changle's eyebrows twitched, and he walked in quickly.

If the other party had nothing to do, he would stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, guarding Zhongliyu with Su Muhe, and would not leave unless there was a major incident. Now that he suddenly came to Changle Palace, could it be that something happened to Zhongliyu?

Thinking of this, Qi Changle's heart skipped a beat, and his heart became a little more anxious.

After entering, Huang Zhongjin was waiting there.

Qi Changle suppressed his breath, and asked quickly: "Eunuch Huang, what's the matter?"

The thing that made Qi Changle flustered didn't happen, and Huang Zhongjin didn't have those bad emotions on his face. On the contrary, the other party tried hard to suppress the sad expression, but there was a little more excitement and joy.

"Empress, the imperial concubine invites you to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

Hearing these words, Qi Changle opened her eyes slightly, and then she and Huang Zhongjin looked at each other, and the emotion in the other's eyes sent a message to Qi Changle, which made her suddenly realize something.

At that moment, Qi Changle felt his heart beat a little faster.

There are not many things that can make Huang Zhongjin so happy, not to mention that is the only thing that embarrasses them right now, so, could it be...

Qi Changle held his breath.

"I'm going over here."

Without further ado, she is going to go there with Huang Zhongjin.

Before leaving, Qi Changle told Suxi to stay in Changle Palace, as usual, to keep an eye on the situation of the Leng Palace, and before Suxi could agree, she followed Huang Zhongjin to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When they came to the bedroom, Su Muhe sat by the bed and accompanied Zhong Liyu, who was lying on the bed with a thin, pale face, and was falling asleep.

There were only the two of them in the hall, which slowed down Qi Changle's original guess.

The surprise in her heart dissipated slightly, and she frowned slightly, "The noble concubine..."

Su Muhe raised his head and understood her thoughts. He nodded slightly, signaling to the other party not to worry.

"You guessed right, I called you over just as you thought."

His brows were slightly loosened, and the same tiredness was in his eyes.

"The genius doctor who can detoxify has been found."

Qi Changle closed his eyes, and tightly pinched his palm with his fingertips.

God knows how she felt after hearing this clearly.

Qi Changle's nose was sore, and he felt that the big rock in his heart had finally dropped.

"Where is the divine doctor...?"

When Qi Changle opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was a little choked.

"It can be saved, can't it?" She couldn't help asking again.

Su Mu said softly, "According to the other party's answer, if there is no accident, it should be possible. But—"

Qi Changle was aroused again because of his words, "But what?"

"The other party has conditions."

Hearing these words, Qi Changle was relieved instead.She breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed the center of her brow.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you have the conditions... Anyway, this is the palace, so don't ask for anything."

However, Su Muhe frowned in embarrassment.

"No, she didn't ask for anything."

Qi Changle was a little puzzled: "Then...?"

"It's for us to find someone for her. Moreover, the poison will be detoxified only after we find someone."

When Qi Changle heard this, his heart sank slightly.

"But what if you can't find it? The world is so big, what if it takes a lot of time? Your Majesty can't wait that long."

Su Muhe's face was light, "So, this is exactly what I'm worried about."

The two fell silent for a while, Qi Changle pinched his fingertips.

"Where is the genius doctor, have you come to the capital?"

Su Mu said softly, "What's wrong in the palace?"

Qi Changle's face was cold, his eyes darkened.

"I'll go find him."

"I'm trying to convince him."

At least, let the other party detoxify Zhong Liyu first.Whatever he wants, she can say yes to.

As long as Zhong Liyu can be cured.

Even if the other party doesn't want to, Qi Changle will definitely...

She closed her eyes, and her eyelids trembled slightly.

Even if some means are used...

The author has something to say: In the last chapter, there was a cutie who said that if there is no miracle doctor, let me teach myself to go in and become a miracle doctor to save the queen.
