Chapter 112 Yellow Lotus

"Everyone get out!"

After a long time, a sound came out of His Majesty's throat.

Lin An was quick to act and immediately stepped forward to help Xu Shen up. The two of them lowered their heads, not daring to raise them, and walked straight to the door.

Suddenly, only Chen Fu and Wansui Ye were left in the room.

The silk thread on her head fell on her face, and Shen Fu didn't dare to raise her head. She looked at the tightly closed palace door, raised her hands to cover her stomach, raised her eyes to glance at the Emperor, then bit her lip and quietly tried to slip under the bed.

She moved very gently, as if she was afraid of being discovered by the Emperor. He moved his feet down a little bit, but before his feet touched the ground, a sneer came from above his head:

"Try moving again?"

Chen Fu's feet were hanging on the edge of the bed, and half of her body was almost falling to the ground.

Now that His Majesty has said this, it is neither right to stop nor right to cease.

He could only raise his head as if begging for mercy: "Didn't His Majesty say that everyone should get out?"

Xiao Yu was almost amused by her. He raised his eyes and looked at Chen Fu with a half-smile: "Playing dumb, huh?"

How could Shen Fu dare to admit it? Even if she really wanted to pretend to be stupid, she wouldn't dare show it in front of His Majesty.

She blinked her eyes and quietly retracted her outstretched hand: "How dare I?"

Shen Fu looked anxious, and even the hands covering her abdomen were exerting force. Xiao Yu looked down and saw it, but he still said nothing.

"I'll teach you a lesson next time!"

His Majesty stretched out his hand and flicked his finger just above the tip of Shen Fu's nose.

Then he stood up and walked behind the screen.

Chen Fu looked at the slightly swaying bead curtain and finally felt relieved.

Her lower abdomen was still aching slightly, and Shen Fu lay on the bed, holding her abdomen.

After a while, the bamboo curtain swayed slightly, and two unfamiliar palace maids came in.

The two of them were very skillful and helped Chen Fu to wash up first, and then helped her go back after she had gotten everything ready.

The bedding on the bed had been replaced, and a faint scent of storax wafted from the gilded copper stove in the room.

Shen Fu just sat down with the help of her hand, and saw the emperor sitting next to the desk. He said to her without raising his head: "Drink the medicine."

On the small round rosewood table, there was a bowl of thick medicine on a red lacquer tray. Even before getting close, you can smell the strong bitter smell coming towards you.

Chen Fu has been afraid of hardship since she was young, and her face wrinkled when she saw such a big bowl of medicine.

He thought about it for a while, but he didn't dare not drink it.

"I obey your command." Chen Fu stepped forward and picked up the medicine bowl obediently.

As soon as you get close, the strong and bitter smell of medicine makes it hard to breathe.

Shen Fu covered her nose, and when the medicine bowl came to her lips, she couldn't help wondering whether to drink it or not.

"The doctor said that the medicine should be taken while it's hot."

Right in front of him, the Emperor was sitting behind his desk, writing with the brush in his hand with ease.

He didn't even raise his head, but he seemed to be able to sense her thoughts and said calmly, "If you drink it later, the medicinal properties will be lost."

"I understand."

Does His Majesty have eyes on his head?

Shen Fu was about to put her hand down, but had no choice but to raise it up again. But this medicine is so bitter that people dare not take it.

I could feel the bitterness rushing to my head before I even drank it. It was so bitter that it was a little strange.

Shen Fu hesitated for several seconds, and said weakly: “This medicine, this medicine seems to be a little different.”

It’s not that she had never taken medicine before, but it had never been so bitter.

This medicine is so bitter that I can’t swallow it!

"Good medicine tastes bitter." Xiao Yu finally raised his head from the desk, looked at Chen Fu with a cold gaze, and said lightly:

"Don't act like a spoiled child. Drink quickly."

Your Majesty has said so much. Shen Fu held up the medicine bowl, her face full of bitterness.

I lowered my head and took a sip, and my whole face wrinkled up because of the bitterness.

"Long live... Long live..." There must be something in this medicine!

The strong bitterness rushed out, going straight to the forehead. Shen Fu was so bitter that tears came out, and her eyes were full of tears when she looked at His Majesty.

"Go on!" However, His Majesty had a heart of stone. He leaned back in his chair comfortably, looking at Shen Fu leisurely.

"Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. The imperial physician said that if you are weak, you need to take nourishing medicine."

"Drink faster. I want to watch you finish it bit by bit."

When Chen Fu saw the Emperor's expression, she knew that she couldn't escape this incident today.

She looked at the full bowl of medicine in her hands and closed her eyes.

I just stomped my feet and made up my mind. Without saying a word, he tilted his head back and poured the entire bowl of medicine into his mouth.

After drinking a full bowl of medicine, Shen Fu felt so miserable that she didn't even have the strength to lift the bowl.

She hurriedly put down the empty bowl in her hand, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and looked around for the teacup.

At this time, Lin An came in holding a tray.

Seeing the empty soup bowl next to Shen Fu, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Master Shen, why did you drink this medicine? I will make it for you again."

Shen Fu felt so bitter that she felt her internal organs were all mixed up. After hearing Lin An's words, she couldn't help but look up:

"What do you mean by that?" She pointed at the empty bowl on the table and said, "Isn't this the medicine that Doctor Xu prescribed?"

"This is the medicine prescribed by Doctor Xu." Lin An put the tray in his hand on the table, covered his head and couldn't help but said:

"The eunuch who just made the medicine was careless and put two portions of Coptis chinensis in it." Lin An looked at the empty bowl on the table with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Huang Lian?" Chen Fu looked at her hands, then glanced down at the empty bowl on the table: "Two more servings?"

She raised her head stiffly and looked across, only to see His Majesty smiling at her.

Shen Fu met that gaze, and there was still something she didn't understand. Your Majesty, this... this is clearly intentional!

"My Lord, you actually drank it all?"

One portion of Coptis chinensis is so bitter that it makes me dizzy, so... drink both portions of Coptis chinensis.

Lin An raised his head and faced Chen Fu, unable to help but sigh: "This... How hard it must be."

The sun is shining brightly, and the peonies in the corner are blooming beautifully.

Several palace maids who were sweeping the door of Ronghua Palace were enjoying the cool under the shade of a tree. In the complete silence, footsteps came closer and closer, and a young palace maid lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Where is the Queen?" The room was quiet. The midday sun makes me very sleepy.

The fanning eunuch was startled and quickly woke up when he heard the sound. After hearing what the palace maid said, he quickly moved forward and whispered, "In front."

The maid glared at the young eunuch without leaving any trace, coughed lightly, and walked forward: "Madam."

On the beauty couch, Concubine Rong was taking a nap with her eyes closed. Several young palace maids were kneeling beside him, massaging their legs diligently.

Without even opening her eyes, Concubine Rong asked directly, "Your Majesty is staying in Bamboo Garden again today?"

She was supposed to sleep with the emperor yesterday, but the emperor did not come, which was rare.

Concubine Rong was in charge of the harem, so she knew the reason. His Majesty would either handle memorials in the Qianqing Palace or go to the Bamboo Garden.

"Yes." The maid nodded: "It is in the Bamboo Garden."

Concubine Rong was instantly relieved and waved her hand to ask the palace maid to leave.

The maid leaned over to Concubine Rong's ear and whispered, "It's true that His Majesty went to Zhuyuan, but... this morning Lin An went to the Imperial Hospital and asked Xu Shen to come over."

"Xu Shen?" Concubine Rong's eyes opened instantly: "Xu Shen who is good at Qianjinke."

"Yes." The palace maid nodded, and Concubine Rong's face suddenly darkened.
