Three days after meeting Xuan Meiren, Leng Yiqing decided to marry Shui Lifeng. Of course, this was Shui Lifeng's personal request to the emperor.
In the blink of an eye, Shui Lifeng and Niandie had been married for three months. Shui Ruoli's belly also bulged significantly.
"Princess, this is the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup that the Empress asked Bi'er to bring." Yin Huan said, holding a sterling silver soup bowl and placing it on the table.
"Leave it there." Shui Ruoli lay lazily on the chaise longue and said to Yinhuan: "I've just been feeling restless in my stomach lately. I feel like I don't get enough sleep every day and I don't want to eat anything."
"Haha, Princess, didn't the imperial doctor say that this is a normal phenomenon of pregnancy?" After scooping a bowl of soup for Shui Ruoli, Yinhuan coaxed her: "Princess, even if you don't want to eat, you have to do it for the baby in your belly.
For your own sake, come and have some."
"...No." Shui Ruoli turned her head and asked dully, "Has there been any news about Xuan Mei lately?"
"No, Xuan Meiren has been staying in her bedroom recently."
"Haha, she does have a lot of time to spare."
"The imperial concubine is not good, not good!" With a bang, the door of Yiche Palace was knocked open by Hong Ming.
"Wantless, didn't you see the princess taking a rest?" Yinhuan grabbed Hong Ming's ear and shouted loudly.
"Sister, I was wrong, but this time something really serious happened." Hong Ming said while begging for mercy.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Shui Ruoli glanced at them silently and asked.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty suddenly fainted during court this morning!"
"What???" Shui Ruoli raised her head in shock. After thinking for a few seconds, Shui Ruoli called Yinhuan and said, "Hurry up and change my clothes!"
"yes."
When Shui Ruoli came to Longyu Hall, there were already many people there.
"How is your father?" Seeing Leng Xuanche's figure, Shui Ruoli chased after him and asked.
"The imperial doctor is inside, Li'er, don't be too anxious about the child!" Leng Xuanche nervously held her hand.
"Well, don't worry." Shui Ruoli patted Leng Xuanche's hand gently and comforted him.
"Third brother, the imperial doctor is out." Leng Xuanming said to the two of them when he saw the imperial doctor coming out of the inner room.
"Mr. Li, how is the emperor?" Mu Lianyue anxiously walked to the doctor and asked.
"I have administered acupuncture to the Emperor, which temporarily relieved the Emperor's condition, but..." Dr. Li stopped talking.
"Tell me, I can hold on." Mu Lianyue tightly grasped Bi'er's hand beside her.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor's illness is the root cause of the disease that has fallen over the years. It cannot be cured within a few months or years. If the Emperor had not sought medical treatment immediately this time, I am afraid that he would have been cured long ago!"
"I want you to cure the emperor's illness! Otherwise, you will come to see me!!" Mu Lianyue said without any emotion.
"Old minister, I will try my best." Dr. Li knelt on the ground in fear.
——Inner room——
"See the queen..." Mu Lianyue stopped the palace attendant from saluting, and she walked gently to the bedside.
"Lian Yue, you're here." Leng Yiqing struggled to sit up from the bed.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling better?" Mu Lianyue tucked him in and said distressedly, "I have told the Emperor to pay attention to his health a long time ago. You see his condition has worsened this time."
"Ahem, okay, am I okay?"
"You still said that!" Mu Lingyue's eyes turned red as she patted his back gently to help him calm down his breath: "I will ask Bi'er to go to the imperial kitchen to prepare some of the emperor's favorite dishes."
"Haha, you are the most considerate." Looking at Mu Lingyue's face, Leng Yiqing couldn't help but think of how he was obsessed with her back then.
"Lian Yue, I want Che'er to inherit the throne, what do you think?" Leng Yiqing said while holding Mu Lingyue's hand.
"The Emperor can decide this matter himself. Yu'er and the other six brothers are my concubine's biological flesh and blood, no matter which one is fine."
"Haha, I knew you would say that, but I'm afraid that if one day I die..." Before he finished speaking, Leng Yiqing coughed, "Cough cough cough cough... I have one more thing
I have to leave it to you."
"Your Majesty, I don't allow you to say that!" She hugged Leng Yiqing excitedly, tears welling up in Mu Lianyue's eyes.
"I want to entrust Chen Yi's family to you. Chen Yi is my good brother. If he hadn't helped me ascend to the throne, I would have long ago... I have doted on Chen Yi's family very much over the years. There are many people in this court.
Many people have been eyeing him for a long time. This younger brother Chen Yi is born to be stubborn and never forms cliques with those officials in the court for personal gain, so I am afraid that if I am gone one day, his and Yan'er's lives will be in danger!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as I keep this concubine alive, the Shui family will be safe!"
