Qingdai had already helped Lu Wanning heal the wound on her hand, seeing that Lu Wanning's expression was not very good, she said, "Master, can I ask the dining room to cook a bowl of soothing soup for you?"

Lu Wanning shook her head, "If you order this, don't bother going to the dining room anymore."

Qing Dai heard this and sighed, "If only we had our own small kitchen."

Lu Wanning smiled and said, "Don't think about the small kitchen."

Not everyone in the palace can have a small kitchen. There used to be Zhaoyang Palace, but now that Zhaoyang Palace has been closed, only Shouan Palace and Fengyi Palace have small kitchens.

Lu Wanning and Qing Dai said a few words, seeing that it was getting late, Qing Dai took care of Lu Wanning and fell asleep.

Never thought that as soon as Lu Wanning lay down on the bed, Qingzhi would rush in, "Master, the emperor is here."

Lu Wanning sat up from the bed in surprise when she heard the words, and asked Qing Dai to wait for her to put on her clothes again while thinking about what the emperor is doing with her right now?
What happened today, the emperor must not be in the mood to find a concubine to sleep with, and she came back later, the emperor has no intention of coming to her Linglong Pavilion at all, why did he suddenly come here now?
Lu Wanning was suspicious, but she didn't show it on her face. She didn't put her hair back into a bun after getting dressed, and just walked out with her hair loose.

Luo Chengjing was already sitting in the outer hall at this time, with a cup of hot tea just served by his hand.

Seeing Lu Wanning come out, Luo Chengjing said, "Did I disturb my concubine to rest?"

Lu Wanning shook her head, "I can't sleep even if I lie down now."

Luo Chengjing nodded and stopped talking.

Lu Wanning didn't speak again, the room was silent, and the incense burner in the corner was burning with tranquilizing incense, the fragrance was light and peaceful.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Chengjing spoke again, "Can my concubine play the piano for me?"

"It's an honor for my concubine." After Lu Wanning finished speaking, she turned around and ordered Qingzhi to take out her Jiugaoqin, and then asked Qingdai to go to the dining room to prepare some side dishes and a jug of good wine.

Lu Wanning knew that Luo Chengjing's listening to the piano at this moment was definitely not to appreciate the music, but just to relieve his mood, so he played a melodious, calming and soothing piece.

After the song was over, Qing Dai just came in with a food box.

The people in the dining room were well-informed, they naturally knew the news that the emperor had gone to Linglong Pavilion, and seeing that Qing Dai came to ask for side dishes at this point, they naturally knew that it was because the emperor had gone, so they quickly made their specialty side dishes.

Lu Wanning got up, took the food box from Qing Dai, walked to the table beside her, laid out the few dishes in the food box with her own hands, then took the wine glass brought by Qing Zhi, put it on the table, and turned to face each other. Luo Chengjing said: "Your Majesty, my concubine has asked someone to prepare a few small dishes, will your majesty accompany my concubine with some?"

Luo Chengjing glanced at the wine jug on the table, nodded, and said, "My concubine is worrying."

Luo Chengjing didn't have much appetite. After sitting down, he only ate a few mouthfuls of food and then kept drinking. Lu Wanning was also with him.

After drinking a pot of wine, Luo Chengjing also became a little bit drunk. He stared at the empty wine glass in his hand for a while, then got up, and said to Lu Wanning, who was blushing and drunk: "Thank you for your hospitality, dear concubine. Concubine, rest early, I'm leaving."

"The concubine sent to the emperor."

Lu Wanning got up and was going to see Luo Chengjing off, but she couldn't control her body after drinking too much. When she stood up, she swayed from side to side and almost fell down.

Luo Chengjing looked at Lu Wanning's appearance, waved his hands, and didn't say anything to the drunk Lu Wanning, but turned his head and told Qingzhi and Qingdai, "Help your master down to rest."

After speaking, Luo Chengjing left Linglong Pavilion with Yuan En and others.

Lian Yongwang was sent by Luo Chengjing to investigate the murder of the prince, so he did not follow Luo Chengjing tonight.

Lu Wanning was helped to the dormitory by Qingzhi and Qingdai. After waiting for Lu Wanning to lie down, Qingzhi asked Qingdai to guard Lu Wanning while she poured tea for Lu Wanning.

When Qingzhi poured the tea and brought it over, she saw Lu Wanning sitting on the bed with clear eyes, not as drunk as before.

Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then handed the tea in her hand to Lu Wanning, "Master, drink some water."

Lu Wanning took a few sips from the teacup, then handed the teacup to Qingzhi, and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you two should go down and rest too, you don't need to wait here."

Qingzhi and Qingdai glanced at each other, then went out in response.

After Lu Wanning sat alone on the bed for a long time, she slowly fell asleep.

The next day, Lu Wanning woke up at about the same time as before.

After freshening up, Lu Wanning ate breakfast slowly while waiting for Jianzhang Palace or Fengyi Palace to send someone to inform that there was no need to ask for peace today.

Not to mention the murder of the crown prince yesterday, but to say that the empress vomited blood and fainted yesterday. Lu Wanning also felt that there was no need to go to pay her respects today.

Sure enough, before Lu Wanning's breakfast was finished, someone from Jianzhang Palace came to say: The Empress is not feeling well, so there is no need for everyone to go to pay her respects these few days.

Now that she was sure that she didn't need to go to pay her respects, after breakfast, Lu Wanning picked up the ancient book that she hadn't finished reading yesterday and read it.

About halfway through the hour, Zhou Cairen came to Linglong Pavilion with his personal maid.

After meeting Lu Wanning, Zhou Cairen said with a smile: "The palace is about to turn upside down, but your empress is calm."

Lu Wanning replied with a smile: "Why should I not be calm?"

"His Royal Highness was killed, and the Empress fell ill. I'm afraid the harem will have a new master in the future. Doesn't the Empress have any other ideas?" Zhou Cairen asked.

Lu Wanning looked at Zhou Cairen, shook her head and said, "You can't talk nonsense, the empress is just feeling unwell, maybe she will be fine in two days."

Zhou Cairen looked at Lu Wanning, and said with a smile: "It's been spread in the palace now, the empress has been infected with a strange poison called beauty and bones, and there are not many good days."

It is said that after being poisoned by the poison of beauty and bone, the poisoned person will not feel the slightest discomfort at first, but will also become ruddy, but gradually the poisoned person will become thinner and thinner , Until the end, people who are poisoned by this poison will directly become skinny, but they will not die directly.

But at this time, the person who has been poisoned has already been exhausted inside, and only needs a little damage and stimulation from the outside world, and the person who has been poisoned will not be able to survive.

The empress's symptoms are completely consistent with the symptoms of being poisoned by the beauty and dead bones.

After Zhou Cairen finished speaking, he looked at Lu Wanning with a half-smile, and said, "It's impossible for the empress not to hear about it?"
