Chapter 304: Impatience
Wang Xinyao lowered her head slightly, and moved lightly to the front of Concubine Li, and was about to bow down to pay her respects.
Concubine Li was originally lazily leaning on the couch covered with luxurious brocade when she saw Wang Xinyao come in.
As if touched by something, his eyes lit up instantly and he stood up quickly.
She walked gracefully and in a few steps she came to Wang Xinyao, stretched out her hands, and personally helped Wang Xinyao up.
"Miss Wang, I'll still call you Miss Wang. After all, the position of concubine is only temporary for you." Concubine Li said, her voice clear but with a hint of elusive meaning.
Wang Xinyao was shocked when she heard this, but she still kept a gentle smile on her face, only a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in her lowered eyes.
She never expected that Concubine Li would speak so directly.
Such undisguised words seemed out of place in this harem full of intrigues and calculations, yet they also made people inexplicably uneasy.
"I wonder what important matter the Queen wants me to come over for?" Wang Xinyao bowed slightly and asked softly.
The voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, yet it reached Concubine Li's ears clearly.
Concubine Li sighed softly, and a deep layer of sadness instantly covered her originally bright and beautiful face.
"Some time ago, I was poisoned, and the poor child died before he was born, stillborn.
If it weren't for the detoxification pill Miss Wang gave to Your Majesty, I would have died long ago. So, Miss Wang can be considered my savior."
Speaking of this, Concubine Li's eyes turned slightly red and her voice became a little choked.
Wang Xinyao's heart couldn't help but ripple, and she thought to herself that this harem was indeed full of fears.
The pain of losing a son must be so heartbreaking, which truly proves the saying that the imperial palace is a place of right and wrong.
"I heard from His Majesty that Miss Wang is an excellent doctor, so I want you to take another closer look at my body." Concubine Li calmed down and continued.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xinyao immediately nodded respectfully, took a step forward, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently placed them on Concubine Li's wrist.
She looked focused, her eyes slightly closed, and began to take the pulse carefully.
For a moment, the hall was so quiet that only the occasional bird calls could be heard outside the window.
After a while, Wang Xinyao slowly opened her eyes, a solemn expression on her face:
"Your Highness, although the toxins in your body have been cleared, the loss of your child, coupled with excessive worry during this period, has ultimately harmed your health!" she said earnestly.
After saying that, Wang Xinyao took out a small and exquisite medicine bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Concubine Li: "Your Majesty, this pill can regulate your body!"
"Thank you, Miss Wang!" Concubine Li took the medicine bottle, her eyes full of gratitude, and thanked her repeatedly.
Then, she changed the subject and asked, "Miss Wang, aren't you curious about who poisoned me?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xinyao shook her head slightly, her face calm, as if she was no longer surprised by the conspiracies and schemes in the harem.
"It's that vicious woman Yin Ling'er!" Concubine Li suddenly said gritting her teeth, with anger and hatred flashing in her eyes.
Her originally gentle face now looked a little distorted due to her excited emotions.
Wang Xinyao's heart moved. She had naturally heard of Yin Ling'er and Concubine Yin. She even suspected that the master behind Zhao Meir was Concubine Yin.
This Concubine Yin was ruthless and ambitious in the harem. Given her style of doing things and her power in the palace, it was entirely possible that she would do such a thing.
So, Wang Xinyao nodded slightly to show her agreement.
"Wang Xinyao actually believed it?" Concubine Li seemed a little surprised and asked.
Wang Xinyao nodded firmly again and said seriously, "Of course I believe it. If there's anyone in the palace who could do something so heinous and yet escape unscathed, she's probably the only one!"
After hearing what Wang Xinyao said, Concubine Li felt like she had found a long-lost confidant. She could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and they burst out.
"His Majesty doesn't believe me. He...he actually suspects that I am framing Yin Ling'er!" She said while crying, her voice full of grievance and unwillingness.
Seeing Concubine Li crying so hard, Wang Xinyao couldn't help but feel pity!
"That vicious woman, not only did she make me lose my child, she also...she made Xiao Xinzi's body into meat sauce and sent it to me to eat..." Concubine Li became more and more excited as she spoke, her whole body shaking with anger.
She clutched her clothes tightly with both hands, as if this could ease the pain in her heart: "Wow, Xiao Xinzi... I'm so sorry for you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic situation."
Wang Xinyao was shocked. Although she knew that the fighting in the harem was cruel, she had never thought it could be so brutal. She had only seen such a plot in the TV series "Investiture of the Gods".
"Your Majesty, please don't get too excited. It's important to take care of yourself." Wang Xinyao hurried forward and gently patted Concubine Li's back, trying to calm her down.
Concubine Li cried for a long time before her tears gradually stopped.
She raised her head and looked at Wang Xinyao, her eyes full of earnestness:
"Miss Wang, I know you are kind-hearted and have excellent medical skills. You must help me find evidence to expose Yin Ling'er's crimes and avenge Xiao Xinzi and my poor child!"
Wang Xinyao showed hesitation on her face. She knew very well that the struggle in the harem was intense and fiery. Once she was involved in it, she would be doomed if she was not careful.
There is bound to be a fierce conflict between Zhao Yucheng and Concubine Yin in the future, and their relationship will be completely broken.
However, now is far from the time.
What's more, this Concubine Li is too straightforward and impatient. If you cooperate with her, the potential risks are too great, and you may lose everything if you are not careful.
Wang Xinyao weighed the pros and cons in her heart, but remained expressionless and politely refused:
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. One move will affect the entire body. Please allow me to think carefully and come up with other comprehensive solutions."
Concubine Li was fully expecting Wang Xinyao to agree immediately. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but she also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed or forced.
"Okay, Miss Wang, I'll await your reply. As long as you can help me bring down that vicious Yin Ling'er, I will definitely treat you well and reward you handsomely."
After saying that, Concubine Li walked gracefully to an exquisite frame beside her, reached in to rummage around, and then took out an exquisitely crafted brocade box.
