Hua Yanxi left the imperial study and walked along the route outside the palace. She waited until no one was around before taking out the jade pendant and looking at it.
The material is of high quality, with dragon patterns engraved on it, making it look like the personal belongings of an emperor.
Being ordered to treat a disease sounds quite bluffing.
As long as she doesn't reveal the inside story, she can be considered a civil servant, even though she is a temporary worker.
Thinking of this, Hua Yanxi stood up with her head held high.
"Eh?"
He was proud for not even a second.
Hua Yanxi's head was hit, and then there was a slight sound, which was a small stone.
Hua Yanxi glanced at the ground, then raised her head and looked around.
"It's strange. Did it fall from the sky? I'm really unlucky." Hua Yanxi was helpless.
Not long after she left, a figure emerged from the darkness, it was Ye Yibai in casual clothes.
"What a silly woman. She can still smile while walking alone on the road." Ye Yibai muttered.
Then, he opened the door and walked into the imperial study room.
The emperor was in a dilemma at this moment. When he heard the door knock, he subconsciously straightened his expression and said in a deep voice: "You are so bold that you didn't go through the communication... Yi'er? Why is it you?"
Ye Yibai walked straight in, jumped up slightly and sat on the imperial desk, with his arms folded across his chest and one leg dangling slightly.
"Why did you come into the palace and didn't tell your father, who personally sent someone to pick you up?" The emperor immediately became a loving father and looked at Ye Yibai's rebellious actions with doting look on his face.
"Old man, who allowed you to bully her?" Ye Yibai's tone was full of impatience.
When the emperor heard this, he thought it was time to settle accounts.
I couldn't help but ask: "She complained to you?"
Ye Yibai sneered: "I have eyes. I can see it. It has nothing to do with your concubine being poisoned. If she dies, she will die. You have so many concubines anyway."
The emperor scratched his temples awkwardly: "That's true, but she is Concubine Duan after all."
"Oh, it's just a fake. It's worthy of your concern. You even bothered to send my concubine to treat it. Old man, you can do it." Ye Yibai said sarcastically.
"Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Dad, are you going to serve some refreshments?"
"Don't change the subject for me, and have a proper attitude."
"Yes, yes, yes." The emperor had no temper at all and had no way to deal with his son, so he had to explain: "Isn't this for your wife? She has no background and no foundation. If Concubine Duan can be cured, then
Isn't it a good thing? When the time comes, dad will justly reward her, what do you think?"
At this moment, he completely forgot that he had planned to let Hua Yanxi remain unknown.
Ye Yibai originally wanted to say something to him, but in his mind he remembered the way Hua Yanxi's eyes lit up when she mentioned money, so he said, "Then give her more money. The things I like recently are quite expensive."
of."
"How about dad give it to you now? How much do you want?" Seeing that his son was rarely willing to pay attention to him and still care about what he wanted, the emperor wished he could move out all his private treasury and let him choose.
"Forget it, you have so many sons and concubines, I don't care about it, just give it to her later."
The emperor could only smile awkwardly when he heard this.
Then, he added: "I heard that you have been studying recently. What have you read? Dad will give you some guidance."
"It has nothing to do with you. Don't ask any more questions. Have you forgotten what I told you?" Ye Yi gave him a blank look.
"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, dad has remembered it. Didn't he never take the initiative to look for you? But after you left the palace, you didn't come often. After you came, you didn't want to talk to dad. Do you still hate dad?
Well, dad was also..."
"Shut up." Ye Yibai interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good." The palace servant who was originally guarding the door stumbled in.
"What's wrong? I'm just sitting here." The emperor said angrily. The people in the palace were becoming more and more unruly. It was rare for him to say more than two words to Yi'er.
"Your Majesty, this is the Queen. The Queen has learned that the fifth prince's concubine is related to Concubine Duan's poisoning, so she will bring her to the Qianyuan Palace for questioning." The palace official said eagerly.
When Ye Yibai heard this, his face turned dark, and he turned to glare at the emperor: "Look at the good things you have done, why did you let her enter the palace if you have nothing to do?"
"Zhao Jia, I'm going to take a look right now, and I will definitely send your concubine back to you in good condition." The emperor said, not daring to delay, and quickly got off the car.
Ye Yibai stood still, but still didn't follow.
I just walked to the window and waved, and two birds stopped by the window: "Go to Qianyuan Hall and have a look."
The two birds chirped for a while and then flew away.
At this moment, inside Qianyuan Hall.
Hua Yanxi leaned forward to greet the queen on the other side of the curtain.
Across the curtain, Jiang Wanrou was standing behind the queen, rubbing her shoulders, and whispered: "Aunt, you have to vent your anger for your niece. This Hua Yanxi is really too arrogant."
The Queen did not respond to her words and said coldly to Hua Yanxi: "I heard that Concubine Duan's poisoning was related to you. Do you have anything to say?"
Hua Yanxi said without being humble or arrogant: "I would like to report to you, the Queen, that Concubine Duan is suffering from a chronic poison, and this poison does not come from your subordinates."
"You still dare to argue that how chronic this poison is is not all determined by the touch of your mouth. Aren't you just talking nonsense because Dr. Hu doesn't understand the toxin? If you hadn't poisoned it, what else would it be?"
How could he happen to have the antidote on him? There is clearly something wrong in his heart." Jiang Wanrou said impatiently.
Hua Yanxi still said calmly: "If there is no evidence to prove that it is what I said, I hope the Queen will forgive me. I cannot admit this crime."
"Here comes someone! Take the fifth prince's concubine into the darkroom and torture her until she reveals the mastermind behind it. I am in charge of the harem and will never allow such things to happen!" the queen said in a deep voice.
Immediately, two palace servants came in from the door, one from the left and one from the right stepped forward to hold Hua Yanxi.
Hua Yanxi immediately took out the jade pendant in her hand: "This is a gift from the emperor, let's see who dares to touch it!"
The two palace servants were the queen's people, so they could naturally see the emperor on weekdays. When they saw the jade pendant, they immediately recognized it. They all knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor."
The curtain made a noise, but the Queen and Jiang Wanrou came out, their eyes falling on the jade pendant in Hua Yanxi's hand.
"Why do you have this jade pendant in your hand?" The queen was a little surprised. This is a symbol of the emperor. How could the emperor give it to someone casually?
"The Emperor gave me a jade pendant and ordered me to treat Concubine Duan and the Queen. Even the Emperor does not doubt me. Is your suspicion a little inappropriate?" Hua Yanxi said softly.
"Aunt, this jade pendant must not have been given to him by the emperor, it must have been stolen by her." Jiang Wanrou insisted.
As she said that, she said quietly: "Aunt, since the Emperor hasn't told you about this yet, we are determined that she stole it. We will deal with her first. After that, even if it is true, please admit your mistake to the Emperor. Your Majesty
It’s impossible for me to get angry with you over a prince’s concubine.”
