Concubine De excused herself from the draft on the grounds of recovering from her injuries, and recommended Concubine Rong to the emperor to assist.
The emperor had no objection to this, and only said that the decision would be left to the queen. Then he was so busy that he disappeared. Si Ningchi thought about it and couldn't decide on the draft. Finally, when the draft was about to happen, news came from Fengwu Palace. "What?" Zhao Zongheng raised his head from a pile of memorials and frowned: "The queen is sick?"
"Yes." Wang Chengxiang also had an anxious look on his face and lowered his voice: "I was not feeling well the past two days. I was thinking about the draft and couldn't delay it, so I held on. I had a high fever last night and I am still unconscious. Feng
Wu Palace hurriedly called the imperial physician."
"You bastard!" Zhao Zongheng's expression changed, he dropped the red pen in his hand and scolded in a cold voice: "Is there anyone left breathing in front of the queen?"
"How dare you be so negligent!" Zhao Zongheng stood up and said, "Show me in Fengwu Palace."
Si Ningchi was lying on the bed in a daze, with a hot towel placed in front of her forehead. Her cheeks were flushed with heat that had not faded away, and her lips were a little chapped. Suyun was carefully holding her neck and feeding her water.<
/p>
Zhao Zongheng saw this scene when he arrived. The queen, who had always been lively, perverse and enthusiastic, was now lying on the bed as if she had no energy at all.
Outside the palace, all the slaves in Fengwu Palace were kneeling neatly, including the imperial doctor.
"How is the Queen's condition?" Zhao Zongheng suppressed the anxiety in his heart, clenched his fists and stared at the imperial doctor with a cold face to ask.
"Replying to your Majesty, the Queen is in critical condition because of her persistent fever. I have ordered someone to make a medicinal soup. As long as the fever dissipates, she will be fine." Zhao Zongheng's heart tightened as he heard this. He clenched his teeth and said, "I had a fever last night.
You haven’t withdrawn yet?”
"..." The imperial doctor shook his body and said as if he was about to cry: "Wei Chen has just been here for a while. If he had seen the doctor last night, it would not be so critical."
Zhao Zongheng took a breath, turned to look at Su Yongde who was kneeling on the ground, raised his foot and kicked him over, scolding angrily with a cold face: "Fengwu Palace has raised a bunch of trash! How dare you hide the Queen's illness and not report it!
?"
"Pull it down!" Zhao Zongheng raised his hand to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty, forgive me!" Su Yongde almost peeed in fright. He couldn't care about his sore shoulder from being kicked. He rolled and crawled to Zhao Zongheng's feet and said: "It's not that I don't want to retaliate, it's
The Queen has a decree, and slaves are not allowed to spread it!"
"Today is the show girl palace selection. The Queen has been thinking very hard about this matter these days..." Su Yongde sobbed and said: "Just to be able to make a good selection for the emperor during the palace selection, I insist on not allowing the servants to disturb the emperor in the slightest."
."
"..."
Zhao Zongheng's breath was stagnant, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Pull it down and hit it."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the palace. Suyun finished feeding the water and came out. Looking at the emperor's face, he lowered his head with guilt.
The person lying on the bed seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and he was muttering something unknown. Zhao Zongheng couldn't hear clearly, so he walked closer, bent down and listened...
"Zhao Zongheng, the Dog Emperor..."
"..."
Zhao Zongheng's face darkened, and he stared at Si Ningchi with a frown.
Got scolded.
Si Ningchi was completely unaware and was still in a deep sleep. Zhao Zongheng reached out and touched her face. The hot little face made him frown even more tightly. He didn't know whether to be angry at her for insisting on holding on regardless of his own body.
I'm still angry that she didn't forget to scold myself for falling asleep.
"Your Majesty?" Wang Chengxiang's figure appeared outside the screen. He bent down and whispered: "Today is the palace election. I'm afraid the Queen will not be able to go. What about the palace election?"
"Let Concubine Xian go."
"..." Wang Chengxiang was just about to ask the emperor if he wanted to go and see for himself, but before he could say anything, the emperor casually pulled him over and blocked him.
Concubine Rong, who has been busy for many days and has everything ready, has arrived at the palace to wait for the queen to arrive.
As a result, I turned around and saw Concubine Xian who had lifted the curtain and entered.
Concubine Rong stared at Concubine Xian in astonishment for a long time, frowning and said: "How come Sister Xian Concubine has time to walk around today? Today is the palace election."
Concubine Xian had a delicate and elegant appearance, with a somewhat alienated look on her brows. She looked at Concubine Rong and curved her lips with a smile and said: "The Queen has a high fever and is unwell and cannot come to the palace election. Your Majesty ordered me to come."
Abbot."
"Sister Concubine Rong, please take good care of me." Concubine Xian spoke in a calm and gentle tone, lowering her head and lowering her eyes, but she hinted at a noble attitude that was neither humble nor overbearing.
"What? Why did the queen suddenly become ill?" Concubine Rong was stunned when she heard this. Then wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain!?
"Looking at Concubine Rong's appearance, you seem very disappointed?" Concubine Xian sat down on the right, looked at Concubine Rong with a crooked eyebrow and said with a smile: "I don't know when Concubine Rong's sister joined the queen's camp?"
Concubine Rong's face froze, she clenched her handkerchief and sat down on the chair on the left. The high seat was empty.
Even if the queen doesn't come, they won't be qualified to sit at the main seat.
Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Rong's expression and said with a somewhat inquisitive smile: "I heard that Concubine De broke her arm. Concubine Rong's sister has visited her several times, and now she is looking forward to the Queen's election."<
/p>
"Ah, it seems that someone's plan failed."
"You——!" Concubine Rong seemed to be about to have an attack, but she calmed down when she saw Concubine Xian's aloof look. If she had an attack, wouldn't she be true to Concubine Xian's words?
"I don't understand what Concubine Xian is talking about." Concubine Rong turned her head and said, "Today is the election for the Emperor's palace. Concubine Xian should focus on the selection for the palace."
Concubine Xian narrowed her eyes and smiled, without saying anything else. She took a sip of tea and looked outside the bead curtain and said, "Let's get started."
The atmosphere in the palace election here is tense, but inside Fengwu Palace it’s incredibly comfortable.
I thought that the emperor would leave after seeing the queen, arranging the palace election, but I never thought that the emperor would sit by the bed for a long time without moving, and even personally change the hot towel covering the queen's forehead, waiting for the medicine to be ready.
, feed Si Ningchi one spoonful at a time and drink it.
Suyun next to her was stunned, and some didn't dare to step forward to disturb her.
Wang Chengxiang also went out to explore his brain, and he really refreshed his cognitive limit time and time again!
Would the emperor do this again?
"Your Majesty, the palace selection is not over yet, Your Majesty, do you want to go and take a look?" Wang Chengxiang saw the Emperor coming out of the house, thinking that he was about to leave, and hurriedly came forward to ask.
"I'm not going." Zhao Zongheng turned around and sat outside, as if he would not leave until the queen woke up.
Wang Chengxiang didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he silently responded and went outside to stay.
Standing outside the palace gate, he turned back and took a sneak peek, and saw that the emperor casually touched a book and read it there, guarding the queen so intently.
There are many concubines in the palace, who has ever been treated like this?
Wang Chengxiang deeply realized that our Queen is really amazing!
