Chapter 346 Meeting the Concubine
Murong Qing asked, "May [-]st, are you sure, will the emperor really attend Prince Yi's residence? You must not lie to me!"

"The little one dares to lie to Madam. The news is from the brother who worked in Yi Wang's mansion when I was young. There must be no falsehood."

May [-]st vowed to say, the appearance is extremely sincere.

"Okay." Murong Qing nodded, and took out a piece of silver from his purse, "This is your reward, you are not allowed to tell others about this!"

Wu Yi took the money with a bright smile, "That's natural, madam just rest assured."

After retreating from the servants, Murong Qing's mind was active, the emperor would leave the palace, so wouldn't she have a chance to face the saint?

As long as she can see the emperor, then things will be easy to handle, Murong Qing figured, before meeting the emperor, she still wants to go to the palace to see Concubine Rong.

It's not that she cares about Concubine Rong's well-being, but that she urgently wants to make Pei Mo's mother's murderer and accomplices pay the price before September.

It's strange to say that at this time, she is like a little beast who has predicted the day of her death, impatiently wanting to fulfill her wish before that day comes.

So, without rest for two days, she started busy again.

Let Ru Yanhua Yinzi open up the relationship in the palace, and find a set of maid's clothes. It happened that this afternoon Pei Mo was stuck in the suburbs of Beijing due to business and could not return home.

Murong Qing quietly left the General's Mansion, and brought the people arranged by Ru Yan into the palace.

Even after a period of time, the road to Huichun Palace was still clearly imprinted in Murong Qing's mind, and she arrived at Huichun Palace with ease.

But he saw guards with swords guarding the gate of Huichun Hall.

Murong Qing frowned, it seemed that this was more serious than what he heard, in order to prevent the noble concubine from seeing the emperor, the second prince really worked hard!
But she won't give up so easily, she has to find a way to sneak into the palace.

Murong Qing was hiding behind the rockery, racking his brains and thinking, when he suddenly heard two maids arguing about something.

"I'm going to go with you. These things are not heavy. One person is enough to carry them. I don't want to go to that gloomy place in Huichun Palace."

Another court lady said submissively, "Sister, no, those guards are vicious, I dare not go alone."

The taller court lady looked impatient, "Do you understand people's words if you don't want to go? It is said that the imperial concubine has a bad disease, which can infect people, so I don't want to go. Who knows if it will be contagious to me? I don’t want to die, but it’s not because you did something wrong that you made me do this hard work with you.”

The little maid begged in a low voice, "Sister, please, please help me this time."

But the tall court lady was unmoved, "I don't care about you, following you will only hurt me, from now on, we will do our own work, don't come to me in the future."

After finishing speaking, the court lady left without looking back, leaving only the little palace maid crying on the spot.

When Murong Qing heard them mention the imperial concubine suffering from a serious illness, she immediately thought of Concubine Rong, so she stepped out of the rockery and stepped forward to ask, "What's your name, why are you arguing with someone?"

The little palace maid rubbed her eyes, "The maidservant's name is Xiaotao, my sister thinks I'm stupid, so she doesn't want to send lunch with me to Huichun Palace."

Murong Qing's eyes lit up, "You are going to Huichun Palace!"

The maid nodded, "Well, this sister is so delicate, why have I never seen you in the palace before?"

"You're pretty good-looking too." Murong Qing said with a smile, "I happened to be passing by the Hall of Rejuvenation, why don't I go to the Hall of Rejuvenation with you to deliver meals."

"Really?" The little maid said gratefully, "Then thank you sister."

Just like that, Murong Qing sneaked into the Hall of Rejuvenation.

The guards guarding the gate didn't realize that the maids who went in looked very different from those who came out.

In the main hall, the imperial concubine saw the shock on Murong Qing's face, "How did you get in here?"

Murong Qing shook his head, looking at the noble concubine in front of him, he felt a little more embarrassed.

Not long ago, the concubine at this time is not as graceful and poised as before, but now the concubine's hair is disheveled, she is wearing plain pajamas, not wearing makeup, her face is as pale as a water ghost.

Jin Yu blocked the noble concubine behind her, "So it's the general's wife, did you come here by yourself? Or did His Highness the Second Prince send you here?"

Murong Qing pursed his lips, this maid was quite protective, "Of course I came here by myself, I think the imperial concubine must know the purpose of my visit."

The imperial concubine nodded hurriedly, "I know, I know, Jin Yu, she won't harm me, don't be afraid."

At this time, the noble concubine was no longer afraid that Murong Qing would seek revenge on her, what was more terrifying than Murong Qing was her own son.

After getting the answer, Jin Yu stepped aside, but she didn't go too far, and kept standing not far away, watching Murong Qing's every move.

Murong Qing was about to speak, when the imperial concubine's stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound, as if she was hungry.

"How about the noble concubine eat first." Murong Qing said kindly.

Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine looked at the food box on the table in horror, "No, no, I won't eat."

Murong Qing opened the food box and looked at the exquisite food inside. Why did the noble concubine see this food box as if she saw a scourge, she asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with this food?"

"It's poisonous, I won't eat it!"

The imperial concubine hid far away, as if she would be poisoned if she got closer to the food.

Murong Qing was skeptical, she took out the silver needle hidden in her body, checked every dish, and the silver needle has not changed.

"It's not poisonous."

Jinyu stepped forward, took out a small jar of unknown contents from her sleeve, took out a bowl of rice from the food box, and sprinkled the red powder in the jar on the rice.

After a while, the red powder on the rice gradually turned black. It was the first time Murong Qing saw such a scene, and he gasped in fright.

"what is this?"

Jin Yu hid the small jar, "It's just cinnabar powder, which can test for some poisons that silver needles can't detect."

Murong Qing suddenly realized, but a new question came to his mind, "Who is so bold to poison the imperial concubine?"

Jin Yu didn't speak anymore, as if she was very embarrassed.

"It's Sheng Xiuyu, it's him, he wants to poison me!"

The imperial concubine hid behind the pillar and said, with disappointment and fear in her tone.

"Second prince?" Murong Qing was shocked, "You are his concubine mother, how dare he poison you?"

Jin Yu shook her head and added, "It's actually not a poison. The second prince didn't want my mother to die, but wanted her to lose her mind, and finally become a fool who can't remember anything."

Murong Qing understood, it turned out that this is a kind of chronic medicine, but has the Second Prince become so cruel now?

Even his own mother and concubine dared to do it!

She glanced at the imperial concubine who didn't dare to poke her head, and suddenly felt a bit of pity, but she quickly woke up, she knew what the purpose of her visit was, even if such a thing happened to the imperial concubine, it had nothing to do with her.
