Chapter 65
"Ahem. Ahem..." An elderly cough came from above the bed, and Qiu Yeli frowned and walked forward, and there was an old lady with gray hair and wrinkled face lying on the bed.

How could there be an old woman living here?If it was an ordinary court lady, it would be impossible for her to live alone when she was old, and as far as she knew, all the concubines of the late emperor were moved to live in the palace except for their burial, so what happened to this old woman?

"Cough, cough, vomit."

While contemplating, the old woman coughed extremely painfully, spat out a large mouthful of blood, and lay weakly on the bed, her eyes glazed over.

Qiu Yeli frowned, pulled the woman's arm and began to feel the pulse, and opened her pupils. Fortunately, she had medicine with her.

Qiu Yeli took out the small bottle from her bosom, took out the pills, brought a bowl of water, and helped the old man to drink it.

The effect of the medicine was fast, the old man took a deep breath, his face looked much better, knowing that Qiu Yeli saved him, but he said without expression, "Thank you, Ma'am, for your rescue."

"You're welcome, saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and I'm not a lady." Qiu Yeli waved her hand grandly, holding back the curiosity in her heart.

"Aren't you the emperor's concubine? Then you are a court lady?" The woman's pupils widened slightly. Looking at her clothes, she didn't look like a court lady.

Qiu Yeli shook her head, thought for a while and said, "I'm a medical girl. I was called into the palace by the emperor to take care of the imperial concubine's body. I accidentally entered here."

"No wonder, no one has set foot in my yard for several years." The woman sighed, her cloudy eyes were full of vicissitudes and stories.

"You are?" Qiu Yeli looked at her curiously and asked.

"I am Concubine Shu of the late Emperor."

Qiu Yeli opened her eyes slightly, "But, didn't the late emperor's concubines move to the palace?"

Concubine Shu sneered, her eyes were full of sarcasm and disdain, "The new emperor is tyrannical and fraternal, but because he has always opposed it, he was imprisoned here to fend for itself."

Qiu Yeli nodded. This is indeed something Gu Jingcheng can do. He spared no effort to chase and kill Gu Jingyao for the sake of the throne, and he was always there when he was needed.

"Your Majesty, it's inside! I saw her barge in with my own eyes, sneaking around, so she must have no good intentions!"

Liu Xiangxiang's voice sounded from outside, and it seemed that there were more than one or two people coming from the sound of footsteps.

Qiu Yeli secretly thought that it was not good, exchanged glances with Concubine Shu and hid behind the screen.

"boom!"

The eunuch pushed open the door and entered, looking for Qiu Yeli everywhere but found nothing.

"Give me a good search, don't let go of any corner!" Jin Bao shouted in a sharp voice.

The little eunuchs rushed away, and Qiu Yeli hid behind the screen and dared not show his breath.

"Your Majesty, I saw her running in with my own eyes, there is nothing wrong with it!" Liu Xiangxiang stood behind the emperor.

Gu Jingcheng didn't speak, his eyes scanned around the room, and then fell on the bed, with a sneer in his eyes.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have searched everywhere, and found no suspicious person." Jin Bao said with his head bowed.

"How could it be! Did Mr. Jinbao look carefully?" Liu Xiangxiang refused to let go.

"Back to Second Miss, there really isn't one. This room is so big, where can we hide?" Jin Bao retorted with his head bowed.

Liu Xiangxiang was indignant but had no choice but to leave angrily.

Gu Jingcheng glanced at the door, and said coldly, "You all go out."

"Yes!" Jin Bao stepped back in response.

Concubine Shu looked coldly at Gu Jingcheng who was getting closer, her cloudy eyes were full of vigilance and resentment.

"I didn't expect you to be alive?" Gu Jingcheng approached with a wicked smile, looked at the old man's weak and indifferent appearance, and taunted him.

"Thanks to Your Majesty, I'm still in good health, cough cough cough" just after finishing speaking, he started to cough uncontrollably.

Gu Jingcheng took a step back in disgust, and clicked his tongue twice, "Thinking that Empress Shu was the only one who won the favor of the emperor back then, she was in the limelight, but did she ever think that her old age would be so bleak, without any dignity, even worse than a court lady?"

Concubine Shu snorted coldly, unwilling to say more, "If Your Majesty is willing, you can kill me!"

"No, why would I kill you? Madam Shu, you still don't want to reveal the location of the edict?" Gu Jingcheng made a distressed look, but his gaze seemed to be poisoned, as if he could kill her in the next second.

On the other side, Qiu Yeli looked around and found that she was actually in the space supermarket. She was a little scared when she thought of the thrill just now, and she didn't have time to study why she was able to enter the space without Gu Jingyao's side, so she was attracted by Gu Jingcheng's words.

"I don't know what the imperial edict is. Could it be that Your Majesty is guilty? But you have already obtained the throne, so what's your dissatisfaction? If you want to kill me, I will let you know!" Concubine Shu had a tough attitude, and she didn't bother to talk to him.

"Hehe, Lady Shu is really protecting him, anyway, since that's the case, you will live here until you die!" Gu Jingcheng snorted coldly, threw off his sleeves and left angrily.

The room became quiet, Qiu Yeli's figure appeared behind the screen, poked his head out to see that there was no one else, and then came out quietly.

"Concubine Shu, are you alright?" Qiu Yeli frowned, seeing her face becoming paler and concerned.

"I'm fine. I've got an old problem. It will be like this when the season changes." Concubine Shu shook her head, then looked at Qiu Yeli in confusion, "Son, where were you hiding just now?"

She sweated for Qiu Yeli just now, but no one found her hiding place.

Qiu Yeli scratched her head, and said indifferently, "Behind the screen, probably the eunuch who searched was not careful and didn't find it!"

"No matter what, it's good that it's okay, son, go away, don't come here again!" Taifei Shu patted Qiu Yeli's hand lightly, and said seriously.

"I'm fine, I won't be discovered!" Qiu Yeli shook her head, and looked into the woman's eyes, "Mr. Shu, I seem to have heard the imperial edict that the emperor wants from you just now?"

Concubine Shu's expression froze, she withdrew her hand and turned aside, said coldly, "No, you heard wrong."

The sudden change of attitude made Qiu Yeli a little confused. Judging from Gu Jingcheng's tone just now, it seemed that she was locked up here because of this edict. Perhaps if she could get this edict, she would have more bargaining chips to overthrow Gu Jingcheng.

"Concubine Shu..." Qiu Yeli wanted to explain something, but the woman refused politely, "Thank you for your rescue today, Miss. I'm a little tired and want to rest. Miss, don't come here again."

Qiu Yeli had no choice but to say, "Okay, Concubine Shu, I have no malicious intentions, and I will come to see you next time I have a chance!"

Concubine Shu still turned her back to Qiuye Li and closed her eyes, ignoring her.

Qiu Yeli walked out of the palace gate and sneaked out over the wall while everyone was not paying attention. She simply had good lightness skills, otherwise she would not be able to get out of such a high palace wall.

Holding the gold medal in her hand, Qiu Yeli thought about the conversation between Gu Jingcheng and Concubine Shu just now, what edict, what seizure of the throne, made a bold guess in her heart, and then quickened her pace to go to Concubine Liu's palace.
