Zhao An still remembered that he got the empress last time because of the aphrodisiac, so it didn't count. He had to really get her body this time, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
The empress was pacing with her hands behind her back, as if hesitating whether to agree to the dog slave's excessive request.
Zhao An saw that she was still unsure, and was immediately disappointed.
As the saying goes, even having a pet has feelings.
It's better for her, she has been going through life and death for her, but she still refuses to be satisfied in a small way.
"Oh, it was the wrong payment after all."
Zhao An pouted and was about to leave.
The empress' heart skipped a beat, and she looked back and said, "That's all, I will do as you wish, come to me tonight..."
Her statement was cold, more like a transaction.
Zhao An frowned and wanted to get closer to her, but she backed away alertly and kept her distance, her beautiful face full of indifference and resistance.
"goodbye."
Zhao Anxin sighed and left the palace in a puff of sleeves.
The empress was speechless. She didn't say anything after all. She felt uncomfortable and a little empty.
She knew that Zhao An had been protecting her and protecting her with all his life, but she was an emperor, how could she be willing to let a slave play with her dragon body.
As expected, she sat in the Nourishing Heart Hall tonight a little irritably, and when she fell asleep, Zhao An did not show up.
"Huang Zhong, what time is it?" the empress asked, rubbing her brows.
Huang Zhong's answer came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, it's the fourth watch."
The empress hugged the quilt tightly, looked at her collarbone with a hazy luster, and muttered: "Then the slave probably won't come."
The Empress did not sleep peacefully this night.
In the dream, Zhao An died in front of her, and his head was chopped off.
In a trance, she saw the massacre of the family and countless corpses. Finally, she was left alone in the gloomy Yangxin Hall. The blue mist was lingering outside the window, and the ghostly shadow lay on the window paper. The thick and sticky Her hair spread like seaweed through the window lattice, and a pair of malicious eyes stared at her through the broken window.
The empress woke up in shock. Huang Zhong's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."
"I'm not going to court today, so go and deliver the order."
The empress' head was dizzy and she felt a little feverish. Could it be that she caught a cold in the bath last night?
Thinking like this, she wanted to get up, but her whole body ached badly, her mouth was dry, her limbs were weak, so she called again.
The maid hurried over and knelt behind the screen.
"Go and tell the imperial doctor... no, tell Eunuch Zhao to come see me and say that I am sick."
"Here."
The maid went away in a hurry.
Zhao Mansion.
Zhao An was drowsily asleep when he heard Qiao Yan calling someone outside: "Your Majesty is ill. Please come to the palace as soon as possible."
"When you are sick, you go to the imperial doctor. Why are you looking for me?"
Zhao An was tired and didn't want to get up, let alone see that heartless bad woman.
Qiao Yan smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, it is hard to violate the sacred command. You'd better get up quickly."
"I know, hurry, hurry, call the soul."
Zhao An got up slowly, grabbed the medicine box, yawned and got into the carriage.
Qiao Yan drove the car himself, and the maid trotted beside the carriage. Zhao An saw her hard work and called her up.
The maid didn't dare to raise her head and sat on her knees in a polite manner, as if she was afraid of the factory governor.
Zhao An asked: "What disease does your Majesty have?"
"I probably caught the cold from bathing last night, but no one is allowed to come near, so I don't know what's going on."
The maid answered the questions honestly.
Zhao An was slightly startled. It turned out that the bad woman took a bath last night.
Huh, it's just a deal. I'm too lazy to touch her, otherwise I'll make him look like he's greedy for her body.
The carriage entered the palace all the way.
When they arrived outside the Yangxin Hall, the queen and the imperial doctor arrived, but no one could enter without orders. I didn't know what His Majesty was thinking.
Zhao An signaled everyone to disperse, and he would take care of His Majesty's illness.
Chen Yuru didn't want to leave, and said coldly: "I want to see Your Majesty."
Zhao An said lazily: "Your Majesty doesn't want to see anyone, the Queen should go back and wait."
"Eunuch Zhao, are you hiding something from me?" Chen Yuru's expression was not good-looking, and there was a hint of probing hidden in her words.
She suspected that the emperor was a crook, otherwise he wouldn't be so kind to a dog eunuch!
The imperial doctors were naturally confused, and when they saw Zhao An's glare, they were so frightened that the birds and beasts dispersed.
They had some little calculations in mind, secretly thinking that His Majesty was really as good as Long Yang, but Eunuch Zhao didn't look like a pretty boy.
Finally, Zhao An asked Huang Zhong to send Chen Yuru away, and then entered the hall alone.
When she came to the bedside, she saw that the empress had her eyes closed, her head was shaking slightly, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her expression was very bad, as if she was covered by a dark cloud.
Zhao An grabbed her little hand and felt her pulse, then opened her little mouth and looked at the tongue coating.
"It's not that I caught a cold, it was that I was shocked..."
How could a good person be frightened?
Zhao An immediately prescribed a prescription and sent someone to the Imperial Medical Clinic to get the medicine.
The imperial doctors were shocked when they saw Fang Zi, "Medicines for treating panic attacks and calming the nerves. What happened to your Majesty last night?"
No one dared to neglect, and the medicine was delivered to the Nourishing Heart Hall within a few moments.
Zhao An patted the empress's face. She woke up in a daze. When she saw Zhao An in front of her, she suddenly rushed forward like a demon. Her naked and delicate body was buried in Zhao An's arms, as if she wanted to Seek a moment of peace.
Zhao An hugged the hot jade body in astonishment and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with you?"
The empress had a sullen face and said nothing, and her breathing seemed disordered.
Zhao An had no choice but to lift up the quilt and wrap it around her body. He gently comforted her for a while before her spirit improved, and she said, "I had a nightmare."
"It's just a dream. Isn't the Nine-Fifth Lord too courageous?"
Zhao An was amused. She had never heard of a person who could get sick from being frightened in a dream, and she was considered the first person.
The empress said bitterly: "No, that dream was so scary. I dreamed of the champion lord exterminating his family. I dreamed of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in the capital. Everyone died, including you. Your head was in my arms... …I also dreamed that someone was lying on the window of Yangxin Hall looking at me. I didn’t know who he was, but it felt so familiar. He should be someone around me.”
Zhao An didn't take it seriously at first, but when she finally heard it, her scalp felt numb because her dream was very similar to the memory of the original owner.
I had previously come into contact with the guqin left by the champion, and saw fragments of the original owner's memory, the death of the champion's house, and the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the capital, but now the capital is clearly in good health.
Zhao An couldn't figure it out and just stopped thinking about it, and continued to comfort yourself: "Don't scare yourself. You have thoughts every day and dreams every night. Now that the Chen family has been destroyed, no one can threaten your throne anymore. Besides, I am invincible. Who can kill me?"
The empress raised her head and looked over steadily, then smiled, seemingly relieved. She leaned in his arms, and Zhao An fed her the medicine spoon by spoon, which was indescribably warm.
After taking the medicine, the Empress' energy recovered a lot, but she just lay in her arms and didn't want to get up. Na Na said: "Slave, can you stay with me for a while?"
