At this moment, deep in the palace, Concubine Xian was arranging flowers and drinking tea in the inner courtyard.
There was a sudden knock on the palace door, and then Concubine Xian's personal maid walked in cautiously.
She stood in front of Concubine Xian, bowed respectfully, and replied: "Concubine Xian, there is someone outside the door asking to see you."
Concubine Xian slowly raised her head, looked at her personal maid, and asked doubtfully: "Who is asking to see you?"
It's getting late now. Who would come over to see me at this time?
The personal maid quickly replied: "She is from the Sheng family."
"Sheng family?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian's face suddenly lit up with joy. He excitedly waved to his personal maid and said eagerly: "Please come in quickly!"
After she entered the inner courtyard of the palace, she had not seen anyone from her family for a long time. Now that she heard that the person who came to see her was a member of the Sheng family, the joy on her face could not be concealed!
She quickly stood up and walked to the door, ready to greet him.

Soon, the maid came in with someone, and saw a tall man wearing a black cloak, walking through the night.
He walked up to Concubine Xian, slowly took off his hat, and revealed his face.
"Second sister."
"elder brother?"
Concubine Xian was overjoyed and excitedly stepped forward to help the man who was saluting her.
He is Concubine Xian's brother, Sheng Fangxi, the head of the Sheng family.
Concubine Xian immediately waved her hand to the maid at the door and told her, "Go and guard the door. No one is allowed in."
"Yes, your concubine."
The maid walked out and carefully closed the door.
Concubine Xian asked Sheng Fangxi to sit on a chair, poured him a cup of tea herself, and asked with a smile: "Brother, why are you coming to see me so late? Have you just arrived here?"
Sheng Fangxi took the tea and slowly put it on the table. His face looked very solemn. He stared at Concubine Xian seriously and said in a deep voice: "Second sister, do you want your son to be the emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian's heart suddenly thumped.
After hesitating for a moment, she nodded: "Yes, of course I do!"
"If you want to, then do as I say."
Sheng Fangxi took out a small bag from his sleeve, handed it to Concubine Xian, and said softly: "Pour this into His Majesty's wine glass, and I will arrange the other matters."
Concubine Xian felt inexplicably panicked when she saw what was on the table.
She asked nervously in a low voice: "What...what is this?"
"Poison, poison that can kill someone with just one bite."
Sheng Fangxi's eyes were burning and he answered coldly.
"ah!"
Concubine Xian's heart skipped a beat, her eyes were full of nervousness, and she asked in disbelief: "Brother, you... what are you going to do?"
Sheng Fangxi's eyes turned cold and she said coldly: "The queen's child is born. It's a boy. Don't you know that?"
