"How could the concubine become critically ill for no apparent reason? It was clear that she was just sick before..."
Ye Fuxun frowned and looked at Bai Yuxian.
"It was my negligence... there were too many flaws in the palace. I thought... the concubine was safe, but I didn't expect that he could actually attack the concubine..."
Bai Yuxian closed his eyes and his tone was cold.
Most of the manpower in the capital was used to keep an eye on Bai Yitong. They never expected that someone would actually take action in the palace... There were too many opportunities to take action against the concubine.
The capital of Lu Kingdom.
In the darkness, two figures headed towards the brightest hall of the palace.
Linxue and Bai Yi were crawling on the roof, observing what was going on inside.
After a while, two people came out of the hall.
One is Bai Yitong, and the other is a person wearing a black cloak. Judging from the figure, he should be a woman.
Bai Yitong lowered his head and whispered something to the woman in black, and the two left together.
Linxue frowned, there was a familiar aura about the woman in black.
"You follow them, be careful not to be discovered."
Linxue raised her chin in the direction the two left, and the white-clothed man disappeared from the spot.
Linxue is still very confident in Bai Yi's Qinggong. Although his martial arts is not superior, his Qinggong is definitely unparalleled in the world.
After Bai Yi left, Linxue waited for a while, and after making sure that there was no one else in the hall, he jumped down and sneaked into the dormitory.
Here is the dormitory where the concubine lives.
The hall was brightly lit, but there was no attendant to look after it, making it look very deserted.
Deep in the dormitory, Concubine Lu was lying on the bed, her face was full of illness, her complexion was gray, her eyes were sunken, and her whole body had become thinner.
If Bai Yuxian were here, he would be shocked and speechless.
When she left, the concubine was only physically ill, but she was in good spirits and could even explain some things to Bai Yuxian. Now, in just half a month, she has become like a person who has been lingering on the bed for a long time.
Linxue frowned, feeling the royal affection in her heart. She stepped forward and stretched out her hand to feel the concubine's pulse. Her expression turned cold at that moment.
It's poison... cold food poison...
How did Bai Yitong get such evil poison? Isn't Yunmu dead? Who else in this world can control the forbidden arts of the Gu clan?
And Bai Yitong was actually able to do it...
A hint of ridicule flashed in Linxue's eyes, and she chuckled.
As for the poison on Emperor Xiao's body, if Linxue hadn't come, he might not have been able to survive more than a month.
Yunyuan Pavilion got the news that Prince Yi was dispatching the remaining troops in the capital these days, especially the Royal Forest Army.
The Royal Guards Army was used to defend the city and was directly under the orders of the Imperial Concubine. Now that the Imperial Concubine was seriously ill and the Imperial Guards were leaderless, Prince Yi, who was in charge of the country, naturally took up the idea of the Royal Guards.
After all, this imperial army can be said to be the real elite of the Lu Kingdom, and they are absolutely loyal to the Lu Kingdom's royal family.
They have no absolute position and will only be loyal to the ruler of the mainland, no matter who the ruler is.
Bai Yitong wanted to conquer the imperial army, and his ambition was obvious. But now in the imperial city, there was a queen in the harem and a prime minister in the previous dynasty, both of whom supported Bai Yitong.
Even if some people have opinions in their hearts, they dare not take any action. After all, in this case, it is undoubtedly a moth flying into the flame.
However, the Emperor Bai Yuxian is far away at the border, but he has a large number of soldiers. Even Bai Yitong today does not dare to do anything to Bai Yuxian easily. That military power is an absolute deterrent.
Linxue was lost in thought when the concubine on the couch slowly woke up. She didn't dare to be surprised when she saw Linxue in front of her, and looked at Linxue quietly.
"Who are you?"
The imperial concubine said calmly, her tone was very soft, and if Linxue hadn't been close, she might not have been able to hear her clearly.
But there was no trace of panic in the words of the Crown Princess, and she seemed to have no other meaning for Linxue who suddenly appeared here.
Linxue put his two fingers together and landed on the old concubine's wrist, and the internal energy slowly passed into her body.
Cold Food Gu, the person who is affected by the Gu is like falling into an ice cellar, feeling cold from the inside out, and even the blood will slowly freeze, eventually becoming like an ice sculpture, and the body will not rot, just like a living dead.
A warm current invaded the old concubine's limbs almost effortlessly. The long-lost feeling of comfort made the old concubine couldn't help but hum.
Then Linxue withdrew his hand, without showing his face, but said in a deep voice: "The person who saved you."
"Aijia...is there any hope..." The concubine lowered her eyes and stared blankly at the air above her, her tone was sad.
She originally loved Bai Yuxian, but because of her remaining love for Bai Yitong, she gave him opportunities again and again, but she didn't expect to dig her own grave because of this.
Linxue said silently: "I will not let you die. This country cannot change hands yet. You should give justice to the soldiers on the border."
After saying that, Linxue let go of the emperor's hand, turned around and disappeared behind the curtain.
The concubine opened her eyes, her eyes seemed a little blurred, and said softly: "Lancang... Do you blame the Ai family... The Ai family did not protect Xian'er well..."
Another part of the imperial city, the East Palace.
In the study room of the East Palace, Bai Yitong silently looked at the woman in black in front of him. For some reason, this person always gave him a very familiar feeling, but his voice was completely different.
"Do you have a way to control the concubine and issue an edict to change her position? There is also a royal seal, which I have not found yet." Bai Yitong sat in front of the case and said in a deep voice.
The woman in black robe lowered her head, and her cloak was very wide, covering her whole body completely.
"Can."
The woman's voice was very hoarse, like a rag, as if her throat had been injured, and it sounded creepy.
Bai Yitong's eyes widened, ignoring the strange feeling in his heart: "Okay, very good, what do you want?"
"I want... the position of mother in the world."
The woman in black robe did not raise her head, but Bai Yitong frowned.
Mother's love for the world... is a right that only the queen can have.
Who is this woman?
More than half a month ago, when Bai Yitong was worrying about how to show his face in front of the concubine, this woman appeared in his palace, like a ghost, and even the guards of the palace did not notice it.
Then, this woman told him that she could help him get the throne.
Then... he tried his best to get the opportunity to see the concubine. From then on, the concubine was bedridden... Although she felt guilty, she couldn't help but immersed in it.
As for Bai Yuxian, the matter of returning to the imperial court was put on hold, and Bai Yuxian and others had no choice but to settle down in the Huainan Palace.
Ye Fuxun came to Bai Yuxian's study, just as Lu Ming came out of his room.
Lu Ming bowed to her and left.
Ye Fuxun didn't ask any questions and walked straight into the room. Bai Yuxian was leaning on the chair with his brows furrowed.
