Ge Qing instantly raised her head, her eyes a bit panicked, "This matter was done by this slave alone and has nothing to do with the empress."

Emperor Xuanzhao waved his hand and said, "This is an order, Mrs. Su of Qingya Palace is suffering from a fever and it is not suitable for people to see her. The palace will be closed today and guarded by guards."

Ge Qing vomited a mouthful of blood and was dragged out.

——

Ge Dai's pupils tightened as he watched the guards close the palace door, and the cries of palace people could be heard throughout Qingya Palace.

She returned to the inner hall in a daze and said, "Your Majesty."

Mrs. Su opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Qingya Palace has been sealed."

Mrs. Su suddenly raised her head, "What's going on?"

Ge Dai murmured, "I should have thought of this a long time ago. Ge Qing is loyal to the empress. Yesterday he must have done it for the empress..." She did not continue.

Mrs. Su held her hand tightly and said, "Emperor Dog," her voice was hoarse. Ge Dai looked at her still jade-like face and suddenly felt a little scared, "Your Majesty, your face."

Mrs. Su asked, "What's wrong with my face?"

Ge Dai quickly brought the bronze mirror. Mrs. Su took it and looked at it carefully, "It's okay."

Ge Dai shook his head, "But the empress's current demeanor and appearance have not changed at all."

Mrs. Su had obviously thought of it, and her expression changed instantly. There was a bit of complexity in her eyes, "You guess that I have been poisoned."

Ge Dai nodded, and Mrs. Su looked gloomy, "Now that we are alone and helpless, where can we go..."

——

“Seal the palace?”

"Mrs. Su has been ill for several days. Now the entire Qingya Palace has been sealed off. It's a pity for the maids and eunuchs serving inside." Feicui spoke in a low voice.

Xie Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It's fine. How could you get boils?"

"I don't understand, my servant, that His Majesty suddenly ordered the palace to be closed today." Pearl answered carefully.

Xie Zhao's expression changed uncertainly, "If she is gone, it will be even more difficult for me in the future."

She bit her lip and said, "If it weren't for her, how would I have contacted my husband?" There was some anxiety on her brows.

"My queen, please don't forget that you are the daughter of the Xie family. No matter how magical Mr. Feng is, my queen will not be affected even if he is missing." Feicui reminded her carefully.

Xie Zhao rubbed his brows, "I've gotten used to it over the years, but it seems like I've reached a dead end."

"It's best if you have figured it out." Jade smiled and squeezed her shoulders.

Pearl trimmed her nails and said, "Madam, Wei Wanyi, you still need to hammer more."

"What happened to her?" Xie Zhao closed his eyes and asked.

"Not long after His Majesty left today, Wei Wanyi ordered the kitchen to make bird's nests for her. She specially asked for blood swallows because she was tired last night." Pearl carefully put down her hand.

"She was sent by Mrs. Su. Now that Mrs. Su is like this, I can let her go at any time." She opened her eyes, "Go and tell her what illness Mrs. Su has."

"My slave, go now." Pearl stood up, bowed and walked out.

Wei Qinghua looked up and saw Pearl walking towards her. She smiled and said, "Why is Miss Pearl free to come here today?"

Pearl lowered her eyes and smiled, "I came here today because I am afraid that Master Wanyi is too tired and misses the news from outside. Today, His Majesty has decreed that Mrs. Su has contracted the disease and has been sealed in the palace. At least Master Wanyi is here."

I've been around Mrs. Su, so I don't know if I might have contracted something."
