"Have you heard that Concubine Chen rejected your Majesty last night? As a result, Your Majesty was so angry that he fell ill!"
"Concubine Chen is so brave. If she is doing it for the dragon heir in her belly, she should comfort the emperor!"
"But I know that the emperor alerted the imperial doctor after he went to Concubine Xue. I also heard strange screams."
The next day, there was a strange rumor in the whole palace.
Inside Zhaoqing Palace.
"Your Majesty's pulse is stable, she was just a little frightened." Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief with Xia Yunxian's reassuring words. She thought of the way Emperor Dongling lost control last night, and she was still a little scared.
"Is there any news from the Royal Hospital?"
What Concubine Chen is worried about is that everyone said that Emperor Dongling suddenly fell ill last night, but the imperial doctor who went to diagnose and treat him has not returned yet. No one knows what happened, and there are many rumors that are not good for her in the palace.
"With the envoys from the Hua Lao Hospital and the King's Hospital treating your Majesty, you don't have to worry. As for rumors, they will always be self-defeating."
Although Xia Yunxian didn't think so in her heart, instead of speculating about Concubine Tu Tianchen's troubles, it was better for her to calm down and take good care of her fetus.
"Mr. Xia, what happened last night was really strange. The emperor looked as if he had been drugged." Concubine Chen lowered her voice, but she dared to drug the Lord of the Ninth Five Years. This is a capital crime of beheading, and there is no evidence. Of course I can't say it.
What she was most worried about was that the crime would eventually fall on her.
Xia Yunxian immediately guessed what she was worried about, "Since the empress has rejected His Majesty, she has been cleared of all charges."
If Concubine Chen had given Emperor Dongling some medicine to cheer him up, she would have given it half-heartedly. How could there be any news that His Majesty was so angry with her?
Concubine Chen nodded calmly, that's what she said.
But when she saw Xia Yunxian staring at her belly, she suddenly realized, "You mean, this person wants to use the emperor's hand to attack me..."
If the emperor lost control and she lost her child, she would have to break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. No matter how many rewards she received in the future, it would not help.
"Don't worry, Madam. I believe there will be news from Your Majesty soon."
However, not long after Xia Yunxian left Zhaoqing Palace, he met someone.
Liu Chengyu didn't know when he started, and had been waiting on the path she must pass. When he saw Xia Yunxian's wary eyes, he immediately raised his hand, "Yunxian, I won't hurt you!"
Although Jiang Ruyan is now in the Hou Mansion, life is not too sad, but Xia Yunxian's eyes when he looked at Liu Chengyu had long lost their former sparkle, leaving only a lingering gloom.
"I just came here to ask you, have you seen Xin'er?"
It turned out that Liu Wenxin did not return home last night. She told Jiang Ruyan that she would stay to practice dancing and would go back before the palace door was locked. However, it was not until dark that she received a message that she would perform an impromptu dance.
"So, Xin'er performed a dance in Concubine Xue's palace last night, and then His Majesty fell ill and Xin'er disappeared."
Xia Yunxian fell into deep thought for a while, while Liu Chengyu was frightened.
At this juncture, how could the young lady from the Hou Mansion be involved in such a thing?
His face turned even more ugly, "I told her a long time ago not to let Xin'er learn such unreasonable things!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Chengyu was shocked to realize that he had made a mistake. He glanced at Xia Yunxian awkwardly, hesitated for a moment with twinkling eyes, and then turned away.
After taking only a few steps, he stopped and looked back. Xia Yunxian had already gone in another direction, and there was no trace of nostalgia in his back.
With an inexplicable emptiness in his heart, Liu Chengyu found that when he saw her again, he no longer had the anger of the past. Instead, he would think of every moment she had stood in the Hou Mansion from time to time.
"I'm tired of living! Don't you know that His Majesty doesn't eat mushrooms?"
When Xia Yunxian passed through a palace passage, he heard the justice beside Emperor Dongling scolding several palace maids.
"These new faces look like they have just entered the palace not long ago. Please leave the food to me." Bai Yujing suddenly appeared there, and the father-in-law suddenly changed his face and smiled flatteringly, "Then there is Lao Bai. You’re an adult!”
Xia Yunxian couldn't help but frown as he watched this scene, feeling as if he had captured something.
The man on the dragon bed closed his eyes lightly. The envoys from Hua Lao Yuan and Wang Yuan were guarding there, and King Pingnan also had a solemn look on his face.
"Your Majesty, your illness is strange. Judging from the pulse, it looks like you are extremely angry and attacking your heart." As soon as the envoy from the Royal Court opened his mouth, King Pingnan fell silent. He also heard the rumors in the palace that Concubine Chen was pregnant. The Emperor It would be inappropriate to get angry over such a trivial matter.
But the envoy of Hua Lao Yuan shook his head and said, "His Majesty suffered from cold and fainted earlier, which should be the root cause of the disease. In addition, he has been busy with state affairs recently and has become a little weak."
In fact, he also found something strange, but he couldn't say anything like this without confirmation.
"Concubine Chen doesn't know how to sympathize with His Majesty, otherwise she wouldn't..." Before the envoy of the Royal Court could finish speaking, he was reprimanded by King Pingnan, "How can you say anything about the affairs of the harem? Get out!"
Wang Yuan's face froze, and he could only bow and retreat.
When the envoy of Hua Lao Yuan saw that King Pingnan seemed to have something to say, he showed a clear expression, "Your Majesty, I understand."
He would not be as open-minded as the envoy of the Royal Court. After all, one wrong word could cause a bloody storm in the harem.
At this moment, Emperor Dongling slowly opened his eyes. Everyone's eyes changed, but his gaze crossed them and landed behind the screen.
"Jie'er..."
The man behind the screen froze for a moment, then leaned over with the food box and said with a smile, "Your Majesty finally woke up."
Only then did Emperor Dongling clearly see the person coming. His mind was at a loss. King Pingnan and the envoy of Hua Lao Yuan immediately asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what happened last night?"
"Has your Majesty taken any strange meals in recent days?"
They were talking to each other, but Emperor Dongling held his forehead in discomfort, "I, I don't remember."
"It looks like I drank too much!" Bai Yujing added, then picked up the porridge in the food box and handed it to the envoy of Hua Lao Home for inspection. After confirming that it was normal, Bai Yujing helped Dongling Emperor up, "Your Majesty, first Warm yourself up by drinking some hot porridge, there’s no mushrooms in it!”
Seeing that nothing could be asked, and the people outside must be anxious, King Pingnan and the envoy of Hua Lao Yuan retreated.
Bai Yujing carefully fed the porridge into Emperor Dongling's mouth, and then asked calmly, "The emperor just called my mother's name?"
"..."
"Don't do this again, it will be misunderstood."
Emperor Dongling paused, and the huge palace was so quiet that the breathing of the two people could be heard.
"I had a long dream. In the dream, Jie'er had not yet reached her hair, dancing carefree in the garden, and then poured me wine..." Another headache hit him, and he didn't pay attention. Bai Yujing's face was already a little gloomy.
"Haven't you found her yet?"
