Rong Xiaotian covered his mouth with his hand and coughed weakly. Then, he fell into deep thought and said, “l remembered very clearly that it was the empress who sent over a bowl of pigeon soup that she had personally stewed. I originally did not want to drink it, but the head palace maid beside the empress had a glib tongue and said that the empress had suffered a lot. She also said that it had been a long time since I had gone over to live with the empress, so I felt bad and drank that bowl of soup.”

“At that time, this servant happened to go out to pass on an edict. When I came back to see His Majesty, His Majesty was already poisoned and unconscious,” Kang Fujiang also explained.

“In that case, the most suspicious person is actually the empress?” Meng

Qizhou was also surprised and subconsciously said what he was thinking.

Gu Qingxue glanced at Meng Qizhou after hearing this, then smiled and said, “Young Master Meng must be joking. Why would the empress do such a thing to harm His Majesty? I think there must be something fishy about this matter.

I still need Your Majesty to make a decision.”

When Meng Qizhou heard this, he looked at Gu Qingxue. When he saw Gu Qingxue shake her head gently at him, he immediately understood the severity of the situation. He hurriedly said, “Yes, everything depends on how Your Majesty decides.”

Fortunately, Rong Xiaotian was still in a fit of anger and had no time to care about Meng Qizhou’s inappropriate words. He coughed even harder and his eyes were filled with a fierce light. “One must be wary of others. I’ll investigate this matter and also prove the empress’ innocence. I think the empress can understand me. However, how many years have we been husband and wife? If we rashly investigate this matter, I’m afraid the empress will think too much. We must think of a way to ease the situation and not hurt the relationship between us. Miss Gu, you and the prince regent are engaged. Do you have any good ideas about this?”

Seeing that Rong Xiaotian was already so straightforward, Gu Qingxue went along with his words. “If Your Majesty is at ease, why don’t you hand this matter over to the prince regent to investigate? However, this matter is related to the peace of the harem. In order to seek the truth, His Highness may need to use some special methods. When the time comes, 1 hope Your Majesty can forgive us.”

Rong Xiaotian nodded calmly, obviously not taking this small matter to heart. “Of course, I trust you and the prince regent very much. Miss Gu, since I have woken up, the empress must come and visit me. It’s just that I’m tired and don’t want to see anyone. I hope that Miss Gu can help to tell the empress that my dragon body is fine so that the empress doesn’t need to worry about me and can stay in Fengyi Palace in peace.”

When Rong Xiaotian mentioned the empress, his eyes revealed a chilling look that made one’s heart palpitate. Gu Qingxue immediately understood what he meant. She nodded obediently, got up, and left Yangxin Hall.

Kang Fujiang followed her out. He looked at Gu Qingxue and smiled. “Miss Gu, you’ve had a tough journey. Since you’re going to the empress place, why don’t you let this servant prepare a sedan chair for you? ‘

“Alright, thank you, Eunuch.” After Gu Qingxue left, she waved at Qin Yun, who was standing guard outside Yangxin Palace Hall.

Qin Yun quickly walked to Gu Qingxue’s side and asked in a low voice, “Miss, did something happen? Shouldn’t we leave the palace?”
