He didn't let her feed him, just so that she could drink the medicine to dispel the cold quickly.

After drinking the medicine, Sheng Xiyan felt her body getting cold and hot at times, and she felt dizzy and sleepy.

Xuan Ling stroked her head and said, "I'll carry you to rest for a while."

Got on the rosewood bed.

Both of them were a little tired. Sheng Xiyan soon fell asleep from exhaustion, and Xuan Ling also dozed off slightly.

In Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Shu was lying on the couch, having applied the medicine, and asked several times, "Why hasn't the emperor come yet?"

Hongxiu comforted her, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Emperor will be here soon."

Concubine Shu whispered, "You did well today. Think again, was there anyone else who saw you?"

Hongxiu squatted down and said, "Don't worry, Madam, everything will be fine."

Concubine Shu chuckled and said, "Sheng Xiyan also helped me today. Otherwise, the situation wouldn't be so chaotic, and the Queen wouldn't be so anxious."

"Yes, but I find it quite strange. Although the guardrail on Yuhu Bridge is not high, it is impossible to fall down if you stand and watch normally."

Concubine Shu nodded in agreement. "I don't know who was so bold as to do this. I really admire them. Sheng Xiyan has offended many people since entering the palace. In short, after what happened today, Concubine Liang will no longer be able to hold on to her power as the assistant to the six palaces."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. When I went to report this, I heard the Emperor's tone of voice particularly praising Your Majesty for saving the Empress. He even gave Her Majesty a gift of deer placenta cream. What a great honor! He will definitely allow You to assist in managing the Six Palaces."

Concubine Shu was excited. Even though she was injured, she felt that she had achieved multiple goals at once, which was really wonderful.

Concubine Liang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and she repeatedly requested Queen Duan in Jingren Palace.

"Empress, you must plead with the Emperor for mercy regarding today's matter. It's not that I'm unreliable, it's just that this happened so suddenly."

Empress Duan was already frightened and said speechlessly, "Liang Fei, no one is saying it's your fault. You should go back first. I'm really tired and need to rest."

Concubine Liang left Jingren Palace and looked towards Zhongcui Palace. "Concubine Shu, I can guarantee that you planned this today."

But she asked several people present, and no one saw how the queen fell. Even the queen herself thought she fell because she didn't walk steadily in a hurry.

The head maid, Shuli, suggested, "Your Majesty, there's nothing we can do about this. You could investigate why Young Lady Sheng fell into the water. If you can find the real culprit, the Emperor would be delighted. Today, the Emperor not only jumped into the Jade Lake to save Young Lady Sheng, but he also carried her all the way back to Guanju Palace and hasn't left yet."

Liang Fei suddenly understood, "You are right, this is the person that the emperor holds dearest. Let's go, call the head of the Jingshifang and ask everyone who was present today."

In Guanju Palace.

When Xuan Ling woke up, the sky was dark and the palace lanterns outside the hall were already lit.

He stood up and put Sheng Xiyan's hand into the quilt. When he touched it, he felt that her hand was burning hot. He quickly touched his forehead and it was also very hot.

"Is this a fever?"

He hurriedly shouted, "Come here, ask Judge Wu to come over."

Eunuch Fu said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Sheng Xiyan's whole body was like a fireball, but she kept shouting, "It's so cold, so cold."

Xuan Ling covered her with two brocade quilts, but was afraid that she would feel suffocated.

Hua Xia brought in a basin of water, soaked the brocade cloth, and applied it to Sheng Xiyan's forehead.

Judge Wu came trotting over and reported after examining the patient, "Your Majesty, Miss Sheng has a high fever caused by a cold entering her body. I will prescribe her a decoction to dissipate the heat."

"Go get the medicine and boil it."

Xuan Ling was so anxious that she didn't know whether to cover herself with the quilt or not. How could she bear the heat?

The medicine soup was quickly prepared in the small kitchen and brought in. Xuan Ling blew on it himself and picked her up to feed her, but she couldn't get it in at all.

"Yan Yan?"

Sheng Xiyan was already delirious with fever, and even her eyes were rolling up.

Xuan Ling considered it for a moment, took a sip of the medicine, and slowly covered his lips before passing it to her.

He fed him seven or eight mouthfuls of the fever-reducing medicine.

I laid her down, thinking that her fever would eventually go away. Just as I took the wet handkerchief, I heard Sheng Xiyan mumbling something.

He put his ear close to listen, but there was no sound.

I put the wet handkerchief on her forehead, and suddenly I heard Sheng Xiyan calling, "Ayan...Ayan..."

The extremely clear call scared Hua Xia so much that she almost died on the spot. She trembled with fear and secretly glanced at Emperor Xuanwu.

Seeing that his face was gloomy, if he roared again, the whole country would tremble.

Xuan Ling watched intently as Sheng Xiyan kept calling out her ex-husband's name.

A poem came to mind: "Since we parted, I have recalled our meeting. I have been with you in my dreams many times."

This is probably what Sheng Xiyan felt.

He also thought of a poem, "I am like a concubine, always in my eyes, and my lover is like a stone Buddha, without any heart."

This is his portrayal. In this line of lyrics, he is the concubine, and Sheng Xiyan is the heartless lover like a stone Buddha.

There was a sour feeling in my heart...
