“There’s no hurry. His Majesty has woken up and asked us to tell the empress this good news. Let’s go see the empress first. It won’t be too late to leave after seeing the empress.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she waited for the sedan chair to arrive. After getting on the sedan chair, she headed straight for Fengyi Palace.

Rong Xiaotian deliberately told his subordinates not to reveal the news that he had woken up for the time being, so the Empress stayed in Fengyi Palace and knew nothing about it. However, the empress had long known that Gu Qingxue would bring the antidote into the palace today. Furthermore, she had already arrived at Yangxin Palace Hall, but she could not find out any news. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing around Fengyi Palace.

Just as the empress was getting more and more anxious, the head palace maid, Jing Yi, who had gone out to inquire about the news, quickly walked in and knelt down to the empress. “Empress!”

The empress lifted her skirt and walked forward. She hurriedly asked, “How is it? Is there any movement from His Majesty?”

Jing Yi raised her head and looked at the Empress. “It’s the princess regent. She came in a sedan chair and said that she had something very important to tell you personally. She has already arrived at Fengyi Palace and is about to enter. ‘

After the empress heard this, she suddenly had an extremely bad premonition. “At this hour, why isn’t she staying in Yangxin Palace Hall to detoxify His Majesty? Could it be that the poison in His Majesty’s body has been removed?”

“The Empress and His Majesty are indeed close.” Gu Qingxue walked in as she spoke. She smiled at the empress. “Your Majesty, I’m here today to inform you that His Majesty has taken the antidote and has woken up.

The empress’ face turned pale. After a moment of hesitation, she smiled and said, “That’s really a great thing. I’m worried about His Majesty’s body day and night. I’m extremely happy that His Majesty can wake up. Jing Yi, quickly help me change. 1 want to personally visit His Majesty.”

“Your Majesty the Empress, His Majesty has decreed that you don’t have to pay your respects at Yangxin Palace Hall, so you don’t have to trouble yourself,” Gu Qingxue said.

The empress froze on the spot and looked up at Gu Qingxue with a puzzled gaze. “Why isn’t His Majesty willing to see me?”

Gu Qingxue glanced at the empress and asked with a faint smile, “Does the empress always like people standing at the door to ask questions?”

The empress seemed to have choked. She slowly clenched her fists and said in a muffled voice, “Men, give the princess consort a seat!”

Gu Qingxue sat down gracefully and smiled at the empress as she continued to explain, “Regarding His Majesty’s matter, the empress does not need to think too much. His Majesty is only feeling unwell and did not deliberately not see the Empress. Presumably, as long as the empress recovers a little, His Majesty will naturally summon the empress over.”

The empress was not comforted by Gu Qingxue’s words. She still said uneasily, “Even so, it is against the rules. As the master of the harem, how can I not visit His Majesty?”

“Your Majesty the Empress can rest assured. Actually, the emperor still misses you. Other than telling Your Majesty that there is no need to go, the emperor also told me to tell Your Majesty that he misses you very much. When he recovers, he still wants to drink the pigeon soup that you personally made,” Gu Qingxue smiled at the empress and said softly.

The empress was so frightened that the muscles on her forehead twitched twice.. She subconsciously shrank her neck and said, “Pigeon soup?”
