Chapter 200 Little Swallow and Hongli: Perilous Situation, Dilemma Awaits Breakthrough
After learning that Physician Liu had gone to check on Little Swallow, Little Swallow paced restlessly in her palace.
Seeing this, Xiao Tao gently advised, "Miss, don't be too anxious. Physician Liu is highly skilled and will surely find out the princess's condition."
Little Swallow frowned: "Little Peach, you don't understand. The people in this palace are treacherous. I'm afraid Little Swallow has been harmed by someone!"
Xiao Tao was also a little worried: "Miss, are you talking about Consort Na and Granny Rong? But they're in the Cold Palace now, do they really have that much power?"
Little Swallow sighed, "Even though they're in the Cold Palace, who knows if they've bribed others to do something bad in secret!"
Just then, Ah Zhu came in with tea and said, "Miss, have some tea. It's no use just worrying like this."
Little Swallow shook her head: "I have no appetite for tea. I just hope Doctor Liu will send some news soon."
At the Prime Minister's residence, Lin Yuhang and Lin Yuxuan were discussing something again.
Lin Yuhang said, "Brother, I think we can't just keep an eye on Consort Na's spies outside the palace. We also need to pay attention to her past relationships in the palace. Maybe we can find some clues."
Lin Yuxuan's eyes lit up: "Big brother, you're right! I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away."
Lin Yuhang nodded: "Yes, we must be careful in our actions and avoid alerting the enemy."
In the cold palace, Rong Momo was racking her brains to come up with a plan.
The concubine said impatiently, "Granny, have you thought this through? If you keep dawdling like this, the opportunity will be gone."
Rong Momo hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this old servant has an idea. We can find an excuse to send Little Swallow some nourishing things, and secretly poison her with them. The smell of the tonic can mask the smell of the poison, making it difficult to detect."
Na Fei hesitated, "Will this work? What if it gets discovered..."
Rong Momo patted her chest and assured her, "Your Highness, this old servant will handle it well. As for the person who delivered the things, this old servant will find someone clever and loyal, and we will definitely not be implicated."
Consort Na gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, Granny, this time we're counting on you."
Hongzhou continued his journey through the martial world and eventually arrived at the residence of a reclusive master.
Hongzhou bowed respectfully: "Senior, I am Hongzhou. I have a request to make. The imperial court is facing a mysterious force attempting a coup. I hope that you can come out of seclusion to help and save the people."
The reclusive master slightly opened his eyes: "Your Highness, matters of the martial world should not be involved in court disputes, but this matter concerns the peace of the world, so I should do my part."
Hongzhou was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, senior! With your help, I will be even more powerful."
Little Swallow couldn't contain herself any longer and decided to go and see where Little Swallow lived.
When they arrived, they saw Su Peisheng standing guard at the entrance with several eunuchs.
Little Swallow asked, "Grandpa Su, how is Little Swallow?"
Su Peisheng bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the Princess has just taken her medicine and is sleeping. Physician Liu said that the Princess's cold is not serious, but she just needs to take good care of herself."
Little Swallow quietly entered the room, looking at Little Swallow's sleeping face, her heart filled with tenderness.
She silently said to herself, "Little Swallow, you must get better soon. Your sister will definitely protect you."
While secretly investigating Consort Na's interpersonal relationships in the palace, Lin Yuxuan overheard two palace maids whispering to each other.
The palace maid A said, "Have you heard? That concubine is still restless in the Cold Palace; it seems she's plotting something."
The palace maid said nervously, "Don't say anything out of the ordinary. If they hear us, we'll be in big trouble."
Lin Yuxuan's heart stirred, and he decided to follow the two palace maids to see if he could discover more clues.
Hongzhou led the reclusive master towards the capital. On the way, Hongzhou said, "Senior, this enemy is cunning. They have influence in both the imperial court and the martial arts world. We still need to be careful."
The reclusive master nodded: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will take care of it."
Consort Na anxiously awaited the outcome of Rong Momo's actions in the Cold Palace.
Na Fei muttered to herself, "This time we must succeed. We can't let Xiao Yanzi be so smug for too long."
Meanwhile, Rong Momo was secretly arranging the delivery of the tonic. She said to a young eunuch, "Take this tonic to Little Swallow. Remember, you must put it on her desk quietly and not let anyone see it. You will be richly rewarded after it is done."
The young eunuch was a little scared: "Granny, if this is discovered, I'll be dead."
Rong Momo glared at him: "If you don't do it, you'll be dead right now! As long as you do it discreetly, you'll be fine."
The young eunuch reluctantly accepted the tonic and headed towards Little Swallow's residence.
Little Swallow stayed in Little Swallow's room for a while, and seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, she got up to leave.
Just as I reached the door, I saw a little eunuch sneaking around.
Little Swallow shouted, "Stop! What are you doing here?"
The young eunuch was startled and almost dropped the tonic in his hand.
He stammered, "This...this servant has brought tonics for the princess."
Little Swallow stepped forward, took the tonic, and examined it carefully: "Who sent you to deliver this tonic?"
The young eunuch hesitated and didn't dare to answer.
Little Swallow grew suspicious: "If you don't tell the truth, I'll drag you to see the Emperor right now!"
The young eunuch knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, it was Rong Momo who sent this servant. This servant really knows nothing about it!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanzi was furious: "Well, then Consort Na and Granny Rong were indeed up to no good!"
Crises rage both inside and outside the palace. Will the conspiracy between Consort Na and Rong Momo be fully exposed? Will Hong Zhou and the forces of the martial arts world arrive in time to resolve the crisis? Will Little Swallow escape this calamity? Will the palace return to its former peace? This chapter concludes here. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
