Concubine Shu didn't know the emperor's condition, and she was not feeling well, so she could hardly control her anger.
Lu'er urged her to see a doctor several times, but she just said to wait a little longer, which made Lu'er puzzled as to why.
"The Emperor is ill. Is there a doctor to see him?"
Concubine Shu suppressed her anger and asked calmly.
"Don't even mention the imperial physician," Lu'er said, recounting what she had heard from outside. "I heard that Concubine Shu had arranged for other ladies to attend to his illness, and as a result, no one could get close to the emperor. They were all scared away."
"Just now, when I went to the Imperial Household Department to get some charcoal, I ran into the two people who were attending to the Emperor today. They looked like they had been crying. I think the Emperor must be very ill."
After she finished speaking, she found that the person on the couch did not make a sound, so Lu'er stepped forward and called out, "Tiffany."
As a result, the other party did not respond. She called a few more times before realizing that Concubine Shu had fainted.
He immediately turned around with an anxious look and opened the door.
"Someone, quickly call the imperial physician. The imperial concubine has fainted."
Upon hearing this, the people outside the door rushed towards the Imperial Hospital anxiously.
When Doctor Lin learned that Concubine Shu had fainted, he rushed over with a medicine box.
The emperor did not say that he was not allowed to treat Concubine Shu. Besides, everyone had already gone to the Imperial Hospital. If he refused, his intention would be too obvious.
Lu'er was originally worried that the imperial physician would not come because of what happened at the little princess's first birthday ceremony, but she didn't expect that Imperial Physician Lin would actually come.
"Doctor Lin, please save the Concubine Dowager. The Tianshan Snow Lotus Pills that Tian Lan gave her are fake. Not only did her condition not get better, but it got worse."
Doctor Lin comforted her and went forward to take Concubine Shu's pulse.
"Don't worry, the Toffee will be fine after taking the medicine I prescribed."
"Imperial Doctor Xie Lin, Imperial Doctor Xie Lin."
…
It was already noon when Concubine Shu woke up. Lu'er was surprised to see her wake up and took the medicine and walked forward.
"You are finally awake, Concubine. Take the medicine first. Doctor Lin said that you will recover after taking it."
After taking the medicine and drinking it all, Concubine Shu lay back down.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
She patted Lu'er's hand and said, "Go check on him and see how he's recovering."
Lu'er pursed her lips, and seeing how weak Concubine Shu looked, she didn't want to make her worry anymore, so she nodded in agreement.
"I'll go see him after you're asleep, and ask the imperial physician to see him so he can recover faster and save you from worrying."
"No need to call the imperial physician, go see him now."
Everyone knew why the emperor punished him with castration, so there was no need to do so at this time and give others something to talk about.
At least I have to find out what's going on with Tian Lan, and then I can feel at ease after I have her under my control.
Besides, the emperor is ill now, but there is still the prime minister in the court, so she has to endure it.
Soon, very soon she would be able to avenge that man.
Unable to persuade her, Lu'er had to go to where Xiao Shize lived to see him.
…
Since Xiao Shize went out to see Concubine Chen that day and came back, he has been staying quietly in the house to recuperate, not daring to walk around for fear of reopening the wound.
He didn't go out, so naturally he didn't know what the situation was outside.
Fortunately, the eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department have treated him much better in the past two days, and some even gave him medicine. Unlike the previous few days, they looked like they wanted him to fend for himself.
While I was thinking, a flattering voice came from outside the door.
"Please come in, Miss Lu'er. He is right inside."
Then the door was pushed open, and Lu'er asked someone to go and do their work, then she walked in and closed the door.
There was no charcoal burning in Xiao Shize's house. The only decorations inside were a bed, a table and chairs, making it look particularly deserted.
"How's your recovery?" Lu'er stepped forward and asked bluntly, "The Concubine was worried about you, so she asked me to come and see you."
Worried about yourself? Xiao Shize sneered in his heart. If he was really worried about himself, why didn't he ask the imperial physician to check on him so that he could recover faster?
I was afraid that he would only pretend to send someone to see me if he needed me.
He knew Concubine Shu better than anyone else, and she was adept at pretending to be kind and righteous.
"You can see that I have nothing here. How can recovery be easy?"
Lu'er was stunned by his words. The concubine said she was worried about this person, but she didn't allow her to call the imperial physician. She really couldn't understand what the concubine was thinking.
"Aren't you a martial artist?" Lu Er glanced at him, pulling her thoughts back. "They say martial artists recover quickly. I see you look no different than the day before."
Xiao Shize didn't want to talk about useless things with Lu'er anymore, so he changed the subject, "What's the situation outside now?"
"The Emperor is ill."
No wonder these people's attitude towards him changed, it turned out that the emperor was sick.
Could it be that the emperor’s illness is related to Concubine Shu?
Yes, given Concubine Shu’s situation, she had no choice but to take the initiative to deal with the emperor.
In this case, he should now think carefully about how to avenge the Xiao family.
As for Concubine Shu who caused him to become what he is today, he would not settle the score with her.
If Concubine Shu had not become timid after receiving the note from Prince Duan and had not dealt with the people she should have dealt with, how could he have ended up like this?
"Do you know why the emperor suddenly fell ill?"
Putting aside his unnecessary thoughts, Xiao Shize looked at Lu'er.
Lu'er was a simple-minded person. She didn't know why this girl was favored by Concubine Shu.
At first he thought that this person was too naive and Concubine Shu was not confident in handing things over to her, but the incident with Concubine Huang and the illness of the concubines in the harem made him understand everything.
Concubine Shu was protecting Lu'er in disguise, so she didn't let Lu'er get involved. In this way, even if the matter was exposed, Lu'er would stay out of it like her.
"I don't know how the emperor got sick, but the only one who can get close to him now is Tian Lan. This person gave the concubine a fake Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill, and now he has even climbed up to the emperor."
After hearing her words, Xiao Shize was certain that this matter was related to Concubine Shu.
But Tian Lan is not as easy to control as Concubine Chen. No wonder Concubine Shu asked Lu'er to come and see him.
"Okay, take care of your injuries. I'll go back and take care of the Toffee."
"Tell the Toffee that I'm useless and I haven't recovered yet."
Lu'er didn't answer, turned around, opened the door and left.
As soon as she left, the door was pushed open and the person who came in was a younger eunuch.
"My father-in-law said it was too cold and asked me to bring you a brazier."
Xiao Shize thanked him, and seeing the young eunuch's innocent look, he took out a jade pendant and handed it to the young eunuch.
"Could you please get me some medicine when you leave the palace?"
Concubine Shu didn't allow anyone to get medicine for him, so he could only ask someone to go outside to help get medicine so that he could recover faster.
The young eunuch looked at the jade pendant, which was of excellent quality, and raised his hand to take it. "I happen to be going out to do some shopping tomorrow, so I can get you some medicine while I'm there."
"Thank you very much. I'll give you the rest after I get the medicine."
Seeing that he was pitiful, the young eunuch couldn't help but comfort him.
"It will be fine after these few days. Although we are eunuchs, we don't have to worry about food and clothing. When I left the palace that day, I met Mo Lao's adopted son. He couldn't even take out the money to buy medicine."
"Mo Lao's adopted son?"
