Tao Yao didn't speak, but looked at her carefully.

There was a trace of unease on Rongniang's face, and her voice became softer, "This medicine is for replenishing qi and blood. The imperial doctor said that your qi and blood are insufficient, so drink it while it's hot."

Tao Yao's eyes turned to the medicine bowl in her hand, the medicine for replenishing qi and blood?

She is obviously in good health, why does she have insufficient energy and blood after entering the palace?
"Is it poison?" She said coldly, suddenly raised her hand and knocked down the bowl in her hand.

With a "pop", the medicine bowl shattered, and the medicine juice splashed on Rongniang's skirt.

Her complexion changed, and she said displeasedly, "What are you doing?"

Tao Yao looked at her sarcastically, "It's right for the minister to ask you, I don't know what the empress is trying to do to keep the minister in the palace?"

Anger flashed across Rongniang's eyes, and she said calmly, "What can I do to you? Mrs. Lu thinks too much."

"It's best to be like this." Tao Yao's tone was also light, "Since the empress is fine, the minister's wife will leave the palace first."

As she spoke, she was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed.

Seeing this, Rong Niang's complexion softened, and she held her down, "Yaoyao, I didn't lie to you, your body is really weak and needs to be nourished."

"Thank you for reminding me, the minister's wife can go back to the house to raise her." Tao Yao pushed her hand away, got off the bed and put on her shoes.

However, what she didn't expect was that she had only taken two steps before her body went limp and fell to the ground.

"Yaoyao!" Rong Niang exclaimed, and stepped forward to support her.

Shock and anger flashed in Tao Yao's eyes, she supported the table and pushed her away, "What did you do to me?"

Rong Niang looked at her sadly, "I didn't do anything, you fainted after leaving the banquet, and you happened to meet someone from my palace who brought you here.

Diagnosed by the imperial physician, you are deficient in qi and blood, and the bowl of medicine just now is to replenish qi and blood. "

Tao Yao didn't believe a word.

This woman is a liar by nature, and what she says cannot be believed at all.

She didn't say anything, leaned on the wall and walked outside.

Rong Niang followed step by step, "Yaoyao, don't worry, if you want to leave the palace, I will send someone to take you out of the palace, I am very worried about you like this."

"You don't need to be hypocritical." Tao Yao pushed her outstretched hand away, ignorant of it.

Seeing this, Rong Niang stopped and stood there, looking at her indifferently.

Why is this girl so ungrateful?

She glanced over the bowl of medicine on the ground, with regret in her eyes.

Tao Yao managed to get to the door and opened it, only to see that the sky was full of stars outside.

She fainted at noon, and she has been asleep for so long...

Thinking about it, she looked back at Rongniang.

She fainted suddenly. If it had nothing to do with Rong Niang, she wouldn't believe a word.

In the past, she heard people say that the poison of a tiger does not eat its children.

Obviously, what Rongniang did was worse than animals.

She put drugs in her food.

She is still weak now, presumably the effect of the medicine has not been relieved.

"Take out the antidote." She leaned against the door frame with a cold voice.

"What antidote?" Rong Niang frowned and walked over.

"Still pretending to be confused?" Tao Yao sneered.

Rong Niang sighed, "I think I have made it very clear just now, you will faint because of your own lack of energy and blood, and the bowl of medicine just now is to replenish your energy and blood.

But you didn't appreciate it, and even knocked out the medicine.

You see, it's so late now, it's not so fast to boil another bowl of medicine, why don't you go back to bed and lie down, wait for them to boil the medicine, you drink it before leaving the palace? "

When Tao Yao heard this, she didn't want to waste any more time talking with her, so she held the door and walked out.

It was already late at night, everything was silent, and there was no one in the palace.

But she fainted again, and when she fell to the ground, palace servants appeared immediately and helped her back to the side hall.

Rong Niang seemed to have known this would be the result, she sat in the side hall, and when she saw the palace guard helping Tao Yao back, she said lightly, "Take good care of her", then got up and left.

When Tao Yao woke up again, it was already dawn.

She turned her head to look, and saw that it was still the same room as last night, but this time Rong Niang was not here.

At this time, a little maid came in with a medicine bowl.

"The servant guessed that Madam was about to wake up, so she brought your medicine."

When the little maid was speaking, she put the medicine on the small table beside the bed, and stretched out her hand to help Tao Yao up.

Tao Yao sized her up and asked, "What's your name?"

"The maidservant's name is Qiuxiang." The maid replied.

"A person from Xiyue Palace?" Tao Yao asked again.

"Yes." Qiu Xiang replied, "However, the slaves have low qualifications, and can only do some cleaning work in Xiyue Palace, and they don't have much contact with the empress on a daily basis.

This time Madam fainted and was sent here, and the servants were assigned to serve you. "

Tao Yao nodded when she heard the words, and said nothing more.

Qiu Xiang picked up the bowl and handed it to her, "Your Majesty ordered you to drink this medicine when you wake up, otherwise, you will have to stay here forever."

Tao Yao laughed mockingly after hearing this.

At first she was worried that the medicine was poisonous, so she refused to drink it, but as a result, she could only be trapped here.

But if she drinks it, can she really regain her strength and leave the palace?
Wouldn't it be a waste of effort for Rong Niang to do this?

After thinking about it, she felt that Rongniang's purpose should be to trap her in the palace.

In this way, she will be able to use her to contain Lu Jiuyuan and let Lu Jiuyuan do things for her.

If this is the case, is the medicine in the bowl in front of me really the antidote?
If it was the antidote, she would recover her strength after drinking it, and then leave the palace.

She felt that it was impossible for Rong Niang to give up her mind.

Then, the medicine in this bowl is probably another kind of poison.

Thinking, she raised her hand again and knocked down the medicine bowl in Qiuxiang's hand.

Xiangqiu didn't expect her to do this, when the medicine bowl fell to the ground, the medicine juice splashed all over her skirt.

"Ma'am?" She looked at Tao Yao in bewilderment.

Tao Yao said calmly: "My own body, I know it well, I don't need to drink this so-called qi and blood medicine.

Since the imperial concubine and concubine treat each other with such kindness, I can only continue to bother.

By the way, I'm hungry, please bring me something to eat. "

Qiuxiang heard the words and could only do as they said.

After she left the side hall, she went directly to see Rongniang.

"What's the matter, have you taken any medicine?" Rong Niang asked.

Qiu Xiang shook her head, "No, Mrs. Lu just knocked out the medicine." As she spoke, she repeated what Tao Yao had just said in the side hall.

After hearing this, Rong Niang pursed her lips.

Is this girl so vigilant?
But did she think that if she didn't take the medicine, there was nothing she could do about it?
She always has to eat.

"Do as she says." Rong Niang ordered lightly, "Since she refuses to drink the medicine, let's mix the medicine into the cake."

"Yes." Qiuxiang followed her advice and went to prepare.

Tao Yao sat in the side hall for a long time, but did not see the maid came back, so she tried to get out of bed by herself.

Unexpectedly, her strength recovered a lot, at least when she was walking, she no longer had such strenuous effort as yesterday.
