Chapter 149 Suspicion
Youlan Garden.

After falling into the water, Concubine Ming had a high fever after returning to her palace, and it took three whole days and three nights for her fever to get better.

She was lying on the bed very weakly, and she didn't even have the strength to turn over, as if she had walked through the gate of hell.

"Your Majesty, it will be fine after you finish drinking this medicine. Your Majesty, please bear with it and drink it."

The court lady Cui Zhu brought her some medicine and helped her up to half-sit on the bed, and carefully fed her medicine.

She was so nauseous that she almost vomited again a few times, but finally bit the bullet and drank all the hard-to-swallow bitter medicine.

After drinking, I ate a sugar pill and barely spit it out.

"Your Majesty lies down and sleeps for a while, and this servant is going to cook some millet porridge for your Majesty."

Cui Zhu stepped back with the medicine bowl in her hand.

After the green bamboo walked away, Concubine Jing walked in behind.

She brought some nourishing herbs and put them on the table, and sat down by the bed.

"Concubine Ming, are you feeling better today?"

Concubine Ming nodded weakly.

After returning from Hualan Garden, she became ill, and only Concubine Jing came to see her every day.

No one else stepped on her threshold.

She took Concubine Jing's hand: "Sister Concubine Jing, the people in this palace are cold, and only my sister really cares about me."

Concubine Jing pursed her lips and smiled lowly: "Father and Mr. Qin are family friends, and I have not lost my mother's favor after entering the palace. These are all as I should."

Concubine Ming's father was Qin Tong, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. His father, Li Shengping, was just a small county magistrate at the beginning. Master Qin promoted his father to be a Beijing official, and finally took the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"As long as our sisters are always of the same mind, we won't be afraid of being plotted and bullied in the palace."

Concubine Ming forced a faint smile, and leaned her head against the head of the bed, so weak that she would be tired after just a few words.

"Your Majesty, I always feel that it was not an accident that you fell into the water. Have you carefully recalled how you fell into the water?"

Concubine Jing asked tentatively.

"If I could remember, I would have killed that person long ago."

Concubine Ming shook her head angrily.

She has thought about it many times.

In the past few days, she was so sick that she could only hang her last breath, and her mind was in a mess. The fear of saving her life from the gate of hell would now give her constant nightmares.

"The empress made a post to invite everyone to enjoy the flowers, but she didn't go. Don't you think it's strange?"

Concubine Jing squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, speaking in a low voice.

I always feel that the flower viewing party on that day was deliberately arranged by the queen.

Concubine Ming opened her eyes, and anger floated in her eyes all of a sudden.

"You mean, they were all designed by the queen?"

Concubine Jing then grinned mischievously: "I'm just saying this. Don't take it to heart, Madam. Don't dare to speak nonsense without evidence. The Empress usually shows us a lot of embarrassment. Who would dare to offend her?"

"The Empress is here."

Just as Concubine Jing finished her words, a crisp sound of announcement from outside the hall reached the eardrums.

She was so frightened that she quickly stood up from the stool and went to the door to greet her, feeling very anxious, for fear that what she just said would be heard by the queen.

Concubine Ming turned her head to look at the door, frowning tightly.

She was so skeptical at the time
Soon, a graceful and luxurious figure slowly entered the bedroom.

"The concubine welcomes the empress."

Concubine Jing blessed her body and saluted, the panic in her eyes was hidden under her eyes.

The queen passed Concubine Jing and walked straight to the bed, as if she hadn't seen her.

Concubine Jing tightly squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, her lips pursed into a line.

"The concubine still has something to do in the palace, so I won't stay here to chat with the ladies. The concubine will leave first."

She led her maid in a hurry to leave.
