As soon as Lu Linglong reached the door, she was stopped by the guards: "Your Majesty has ordered that you will not see anyone."
Lu Linglong's face immediately turned long. "How dare you stop me? I'm here to tend to His Majesty! Hurry up and get out of the way! Can you afford to delay His Majesty's treatment?"
The guard refused to budge: "Your Majesty has ordered that no one be seen."
Lu Linglong went up and slapped him: "You blind thing! Don't you even know who I am? How dare you stop me? Get out of my way!"
The guards were also stunned. The guards in the palace were all children of powerful and wealthy people. Even the queen could not do anything to them at will. A mere concubine actually wanted to hit him!
The guard had not expected this at all, so he did not dodge and was slapped hard.
The surrounding guards and eunuchs also looked at Lu Linglong in astonishment. What kind of rich girl is this? Too fierce!
Seeing that she had frightened everyone with just one move, Lu Linglong was extremely proud. She raised her head and hummed softly, then pushed open the door and ran inside.
Eunuch Zhang quickly stepped forward to stop her: "What is Cai Nu doing? Come! Take Cai Nu away!"
Lu Linglong pushed Eunuch Zhang away and said, "Of course I'm here to take care of the patient."
She pretended to be delicate and sat by the bed, smiling broadly: "Your Majesty has been ill for such a long time, and none of you told me. There is no one to serve you at your bedside. You really should be punished! But your Majesty, don't be afraid. I am here."
"I specially prepared some ginseng soup for Your Majesty." Lu Linglong said, taking out the ginseng soup from the food box and holding it before the emperor: "Your Majesty, come and have some soup."
The emperor turned his head to the side and ignored Lu Linglong.
Lu Linglong frowned, "Your Majesty, how can you not drink the soup? I specifically asked the imperial kitchen to stew it with a hundred-year-old ginseng. It is very nourishing. Your Majesty, be good."
As Lu Linglong spoke, she reached out to pinch the emperor's chin, intending to use force.
Seeing this, Eunuch Zhang rushed forward to block it: "You can't do that, Lady Cai!"
Eunuch Zhang knocked over the ginseng soup and spilled it all over Lu Linglong.
Lu Linglong screamed in anger: "You eunuch! This is ginseng soup! You actually spilled it! Don't you want His Majesty to recover? Do you want to kill the king?"
Eunuch Zhang stood in front of the emperor and said calmly, "Lady Cai, the imperial physician said that your majesty's illness is too weak to be nourished, so he cannot drink ginseng soup."
Lu Linglong didn't believe him: "Ginseng is the best thing in the world. People who are recovering from illness must drink it. Why can't I drink it? You are doing this on purpose! You are competing with me for favor!"
Eunuch Zhang's eyes suddenly widened. The word "regicide" couldn't make him speechless, but the word "vying for favor" really made him at a loss for words.
The emperor raised his hand and said calmly, "Take him away."
Lu Linglong trembled upon hearing this and shouted to the guards who had just entered, "Did you hear His Majesty's order? Hurry and send him away!"
Eunuch Zhang looked at Lu Linglong with pity and said with a smile, "Why don't you ask the concubine to leave?"
Eunuch Zhang emphasized the word "please". As soon as he finished speaking, the guard who had just been beaten twisted Lu Linglong's arm and carried her out like a chick.
Lu Linglong's arm hurt so much that she struggled and screamed, "I'm His Majesty's concubine. How dare you touch me? That's against heaven!"
The guard spoke respectfully, but applied a bit more force to his hands: "I have been ordered to ask the concubine to leave. If you cooperate, I will naturally let you go on your own. But the concubine is making such a fuss now, and it may disturb Your Majesty, so I have no choice but to take some measures."
Lu Linglong was thrown out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity. She was so angry that she jumped up and down, rubbing her arm which was almost broken in pain, and wanted to rush back in. But when she saw the guards with their swords drawn, she became frightened. But she was unwilling to leave like that, so she turned her eyes and went back to the East Palace.
In the East Palace, Xie Qing had just returned. He changed his clothes and washed up. He just hugged Qin Wan and was about to tell her how much he missed her during these days of absence, but she pushed him away.
Xie Qing was a little unhappy: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you don't want to let me hug you."
Qin Wan said helplessly, "I asked you to come back because I wanted to tell you about Father. I always feel that something is wrong with Father. He doesn't seem to be faking illness. His eyes don't look energetic, and his breathing is a little rapid. There is also a faint smell of blood in the room, very faint, but because of the incense, it is not noticeable if you don't pay attention."
Hearing this, Xie Qing put away his playful expression, frowned tightly and said, "I'll go find the dean right away."
"The director has already moved in..."
Before Qin Wan could finish her words, she saw Lu Linglong rushing in.
Later, Zigui and Yijia hurriedly chased in and pulled Lu Linglong back: "Don't go in!"
Qin Wan waved to the two of them. They had already come in, so it was too late to shout now: "Go down."
Seeing Qin Wan in her gorgeous attire and the dazzling furnishings in the room, Lu Linglong was immediately enraged. She pointed at Qin Wan's nose and demanded, "Qin Wan! Did you have His Majesty under house arrest and not allow us to see Him?"
Qin Wan was surprised. What kind of train of thought was this? How could he think like that?
She exchanged a glance with Xie Qing, then looked at Lu Linglong in confusion: "Why should I place His Majesty under house arrest? Where did you come up with this conclusion?"
Lu Linglong had come all the way here and understood everything clearly. She confidently said, "Of course you two are trying to use the emperor to control the other princes!"
Qin Wan looked at Lu Linglong as if she were a fool, and explained softly, "I am now the Crown Princess, and my husband is the Crown Prince. Father has great trust in us. If I imprison him, wouldn't that be unnecessary?"
Lu Linglong straightened her slender waist and said proudly, "Your Majesty has always been in good health. You are afraid that after Your Majesty and I have children, you will pass the throne to my son, so you have placed him under house arrest! You don't allow Your Majesty to see me, you don't allow Your Majesty to get close to me. You are plotting rebellion and you want to kill the king."
Hats were put on Lu Linglong's mouth one after another. Even though Qin Wan and Xie Qing had experienced each other in two lifetimes, they were still shocked by Lu Linglong's words and didn't know how to respond.
The two looked at each other again, seeing the surprise and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Qin Wan rubbed her brows and said, "Why do you have such thoughts?"
Lu Linglong snorted softly, "I'm the youngest and most beautiful concubine in the harem. Your Majesty is young and strong now, so why can't you give birth to an heir? They say a youngest son and an eldest grandson are the lifeblood of an old couple. If I give birth to a son, wouldn't Your Majesty hold me in his arms? If I ask for the stars, Your Majesty wouldn't dare give me the moon. So, wouldn't Your Majesty give me this kingdom?"
Qin Wan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
She took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and asked, "I wonder if Miss Lu has already gone to bed with you?"
Lu Linglong's eyes flickered. "What does it have to do with you whether he sleeps with her or not? As a daughter-in-law, do you still care about what happens to your father-in-law?"
Qin Wan looked at Lu Linglong, smiled and shook her head, saying, "Lu Cainu's brain sometimes seems to be slow, and sometimes it works incredibly fast. I'm really ashamed of myself."
