Once the red-topped red poison takes effect, not to mention whether it can kill Concubine Rao, as an imperial doctor who administered the drug, he cannot escape the serious crime of beheading, and may even implicate the nine clans.

Slender green fingers slowly stroked the jasper ring. Shangguan Zihan smiled casually and said, "I remember that Dr. Xu's eldest son has just lost his crown, and his daughter must be only five years old.

I happen to be free recently, and I have been living in the deep palace for a long time and am worried about having no one to accompany me. Why don't you invite your wife and your children to come to the east palace and sit for a while..."

"I will definitely handle this matter for the Queen." Before Shangguan Zihan could finish her words, Dr. Xu was already trembling and kowtowing as he accepted the order.

Without raising his head, Shangguan Zihan still had a cold smile on his lips, "If the poisoning is discovered, I wonder how Dr. Xu will respond?"

"Wei Chen is tight-lipped and will bear all the blame alone." Doctor Xu clenched his teeth tightly and his brows twitched almost invisible.

"No need," Shangguan Zihan smiled, moved closer to Dr. Xu's slightly surprised gaze, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Wei Chen obeys the order. I only hope that the queen can ensure the safety of the family after Wei Chen's death." Doctor Xu did not worry much in his life, but his children were his weakness.

"Don't worry, as long as I reign for one day, I will ensure that your family, Imperial Physician Xu, will be prosperous and wealthy." Shangguan Zihan smiled brightly, but there was a hint of ferocious viciousness in it.

Ling Mulao, this woman has threatened her status step by step. She cannot be kept by the emperor's side no matter what, otherwise the position of the queen will be lost sooner or later.

"How brave, a slave dares to block my way."

At this moment, a sharp shout came from outside the door, and the crisp voice sounded like it was Mo Ruxue.

Shangguan Zihan frowned and waved his hand to signal Ding Xiang to take Imperial Physician Xu out through another door. Then he straightened his clothes slightly and smiled towards the door: "Who is disturbing me for rest outside?"

"Oh, it turns out that the Queen is sleeping, and I am really disturbing her~" crisp laughter came as the words fell, and Mo Ruxue was already in full bloom.

"Since the imperial concubine's sister is already here, why bother?" Shangguan Zihan looked slightly tired, still leaning on the hot bed, "Dingxiang, you haven't poured tea for the imperial concubine."

"Slave, get ready now~" Ding Xiang responded, already hurrying in from the door with a white jade tea cup in hand.

Mo Ruxue casually picked up a sandalwood chair with peonies engraved on it and sat down. She smiled lightly and said, "The queen is really in a good mood, and I can't compare to it."

Shangguan Zihan sat up slightly, picked up the hot tea brewed with cloves, took a sip and said lightly: "This tea is a little lighter today, so it doesn't taste as good as yesterday."

"The slave will have someone make another one right away." After hearing this, Ding Xiang immediately picked up the teapot and prepared to leave it and change it.

But Shangguan Zihan waved his hand, "At least it's already cooked, it's a pity to change it. As the head of the harem, I have to be simple in everything. Only in this way can I set a good example."

Mo Ruxue frowned slightly. Seeing that Shangguan Zihan didn't take her seriously at all, she coughed a few times and said, "Ahem~ I don't know if the Queen has heard that the Emperor has drafted an edict saying that it is to pay homage to the late ancestor."

The emperor will not accept concubines within three years."
