There was a flash of struggle in the Queen's eyes. Although she felt that Pero was a bit gloating about his misfortune, this idea could indeed be tried.

She urged without hesitation: "Go and prepare cold water, hurry up!"

Not long after, the old woman came back with several basins of cold water and poured them all on Xiao Rui.

He trembled violently at first, and then he lay on the little palace maid and never moved again.

The queen rushed over to tidy up his clothes, but she saw that his face was extremely pale and frightening.

The old woman went up to check the maid's breathing and found that she had passed out.

There was a surge of hatred in the queen's eyes. This was originally a trap set for Lin Ruoyou. Why didn't she fall into the trap? Instead, the prince and the maid got together?

What happened?

Now that both of them were unconscious, they couldn't even ask.

Just when her thoughts were disturbed, Lin Ruoyou's surprised voice suddenly came from outside: "Huh? Why are you all here? Did something happen?"

Pei Luo ran out immediately. When he saw that she was safe and sound, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

The queen handed the prince to the care of the old woman, stood up and walked out quickly to ask: "Lin Ruoyou, where did you go just now? Someone saw you coming to this cabin to change clothes, why were you not there?"

Before Lin Ruoyou could answer, she heard the regent's lazy voice: "She is with the king. Does the emperor's sister-in-law have any objections?"

The queen's face turned pale. She was most afraid of this cold-blooded man. Every time she met him, she felt like she had nothing to hide.

She forced a smile and said, "No, Sixth Brother misunderstood. I'm worried about Miss Lin. After all, she came to attend the banquet for running for Crown Princess, and I have to ensure her safety!"

Xiao Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Does the emperor's sister-in-law have a bad memory? She is running for the regent princess, right? You deliberately forgot, do you think that the king is not worthy of marrying?"

The queen's heart trembled with shock. This insidious sixth man actually revealed her plan in public.

She laughed along and said, "How dare I think that? I just thought you didn't comment on Miss Lin's piano skills before, maybe you didn't like her!"

Xiao Sheng said calmly: "It is not my business to look down on the king. She is running for the regent princess. No one can deny this!"

The queen finally saw clearly that she could no longer have Lin Ruoyou's ideas today.

She was just about to find a way to send everyone away, but she didn't expect Lin Ruoyou to frown and say: "There is the smell of Meier in the air, where is it coming from?"

Xiao Sheng asked calmly: "What is Meierxiang?"

Lin Ruoyou answered hesitantly: "Pharmaceutically speaking, it is something that enhances the relationship between husband and wife, but with such a strong taste, I'm afraid it will kill you!"

The Queen's heart was pounding. Is it so serious?

Xiao Rui is still unconscious. He needs to be sent to the imperial doctor quickly!

She quickly ordered: "Mother Cen, bring the ladies back to the banquet hall. I want to stay behind to deal with the aftermath, so take everyone away quickly!"

Aunt Cen did not dare to neglect and quickly called the noble lady back.

Princess Pei Luo stepped forward and took Lin Ruoyou's arm: "Let's go, let's not waste time here. Let me tell you, the scene in the cabin is really dirty. I have to wash it off after I go back!"

Xiao Sheng suddenly said: "Since you know this Meierxiang, then stay and help the queen to find out who is plotting against the prince and using such a vile evil thing. This is to harm the royal bloodline!"

The queen was so frightened that she staggered. If the little palace maid hadn't supported her, she would have fallen into the lake.

Xiao Sheng actually wanted to conduct a thorough investigation. With his methods, wouldn't he be able to find her in the end?If word got out that she was plotting against her biological son, not only would her position be in jeopardy, but she might even implicate the entire clan.

She didn't hesitate anymore and quickly stopped her: "Sixth brother, how can I trouble you to deal with such a trivial matter? Besides, Miss Lin is a rich lady, how can she know about medicinal herbs?"

After saying that, he gave Lin Ruoyou a warning look, telling her not to interfere in this matter again.

Xiao Sheng, however, was unwilling to give up. He said in a deep voice: "It concerns the royal heirs, and the emperor's sister-in-law plans to hide it? If there is anything wrong with the prince, how will you explain it to the emperor?"

The Queen gritted her teeth and had no choice but to let them in, no matter how unwilling she was.

Xiao Rui's face was still pale and ugly, looking completely worn out.

Xiao Sheng sternly rebuked: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and call the imperial doctor? If this causes permanent damage to the prince, none of your heads will be saved!"

The queen's expression changed drastically. It shouldn't be so serious, right?

If we go to ask the imperial doctor, wouldn’t the emperor have to know?

She begged anxiously: "Sixth brother, there is no need to ask the imperial doctor for now. Rui'er is probably tired and will be able to recover after taking a rest!"

Xiao Sheng pointed at the blood all over the couch and said, "You will bleed so much when you are tired? If nothing happens to Xiao Rui, then that's it. If something happens, you will be the culprit!"

I have to say that this sentence is already very serious.

The queen's eyes turned red with hatred, but she did not dare to get angry due to the sharp gaze of the regent.

She could only say: "Okay, I will listen to you and ask Doctor Lin to come over!"

That was her exclusive physician, and no matter what the final result was, he could help her cover it up.

Xiao Sheng did not hold on to her tightly, but asked Lin Ruoyou to find out where Meierxiang was kept.

The queen still doesn't understand something now. It seems she has to find someone to take the blame for this.

She glanced at the old nanny beside her, walked quickly to the unconscious little palace maid, and quietly stuffed a jade bottle into her sleeve.

She thought she had done everything perfectly, but Lin Ruoyou looked right at her.

However, she didn't reveal it in time.

Because, the more exciting things are yet to come.

Not long after, not only did Dr. Lin arrive, but the emperor who had received the news also hurried over. He asked with a stern face: "How could such a thing happen? How is Rui'er now?"

The queen wiped her tears with a brocade handkerchief and said, "It's all my concubine's fault. Who would have thought that someone would plot against Rui'er right under her nose!"

The emperor angrily rebuked: "You are at fault. As the head of the harem, you can't even hold a banquet properly. What use do I need from you?"

Concubine Yu, who was following next to her, comforted her softly: "Your Majesty, the queen sister doesn't want to do this either. Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness is her heartthrob?"

A seemingly weak and harmless sentence pierced the Queen's heart like a knife.

She cursed vixen in her heart, but said sadly on her face: "Your Majesty, we haven't found out who used Meier fragrance on Rui'er yet, can you please stop losing your temper?"

The emperor tossed his sleeves angrily and turned to look at Dr. Lin, who looked solemn: "How is the prince's health?"
