Yan Er stepped forward and saluted politely: "Your Majesty, my queen is not feeling well today. Please go and see her."
If you feel unwell, just go find the imperial physician. What's the point of going to him?
Yu Wenran rubbed his brows speechlessly and said, "I'm very busy today. Please ask the imperial physician to take a good look at Concubine Rou."
Upon hearing this, Yan Er quickly knelt down and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please go see the Empress."
Yuwen Ran sighed: "Then I will go and take a look."
He looked at the memorial on the chopping board with melancholy. It seemed that today's memorial would have to be approved later.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
Yuwen Ran walked into the gate of Concubine Rou's palace. The palace maids and guards outside all bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, we are here." Only the person who invited him did not show up.
He strode into the hall, which was filled with a faint sweet scent. He frowned slightly and saw Gu Yanrou wearing a plain white gauze dress and leaning weakly on the soft couch.
Her face, which was originally as white and smooth as a shelled egg, now looked a little pale, yet with a hint of pink.
Her almond-shaped eyes seemed to have no strength to open wide, and were only slightly raised.
Gu Yanrou came down weakly and was about to kneel down to greet Yuwen Ran: "I was not feeling well and did not go out to greet Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Yuwen Ran supported the shaky Gu Yanrou and said, "Excuse me, what happened to Concubine Rou?"
Gu Yanrou pouted and said coquettishly, "I heard that His Majesty was assassinated during the Lantern Festival..."
Her soft arms gently wrapped around Yuwen Ran's waist, pressing herself against him, and she raised her sparkling eyes and said in a soft voice, "I am worried about Your Majesty."
Yu Wenran's body stiffened when Gu Yanrou pressed against him. He pushed Gu Yanrou away and said coldly, "I'm fine. Concubine Rou, don't worry."
Gu Yanrou was pushed unexpectedly and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
She stood at attention with a wronged look on her face, her almond-shaped eyes about to shed tears. She looked at Yuwen Ran and said unwillingly, "Your Majesty, why are you pushing me? I just wanted to show my concern for Your Majesty."
Yuwen Ran knew that his behavior just now was inappropriate, and he couldn't completely offend the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time. He walked over and touched Gu Yanrou's head, comforting her: "I was too rough just now, did you hurt me anywhere?"
Gu Yanrou was touched on the head and looked at Yuwen Ran happily and said, "No, Your Majesty."
She observed Yu Wenran's expression calmly, and secretly glanced at the Ecstasy Powder that was burning quietly.
It seems we have to wait a little longer.
She took Yuwen Ran's hand again and asked, "Your Majesty, was Concubine Su the one who ordered the assassination? I heard that she was recently under house arrest."
Yuwen Ran responded: "After all, Concubine Su is inextricably linked to this matter."
Recalling the Lantern Festival, he suddenly wanted to eat the meal cooked by Gu Yanyue, so he pulled his arm out and said to Gu Yanrou, "I will go to Fengqi Palace to eat first. If Concubine Rou still feels unwell, please find the imperial physician."
After saying this, Yu Wenran raised his foot and was about to leave.
Gu Yanrou quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, saying urgently, "Don't go, Your Majesty."
She pressed her soft body against mine again: "Stay with me for a while."
Yu Wenran looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice, "Noble Concubine Rou, please respect yourself."
Then he strode away.
Only Gu Yanrou was left standing there stamping her feet in anger.
Yu Wenran came to Fengqi Palace in a daze. His head had been feeling hot and heavy ever since he left Concubine Rou.
But I don’t know what happened.
He entered the hall and saw Gu Yanyue leisurely eating snacks and chatting with the palace maids.
Gu Yanyue and the palace maids also saw Yuwen Ran, and the palace maids hurriedly saluted the emperor.
Gu Yanyue also walked up to Yuwen Ran, bowed with a smile and said, "Your Majesty."
After Yu Wenran said that there was no need for formalities, he asked the palace maids to leave.
Once the other person was gone, the two of them became less restrained.
Gu Yanyue pulled Yu Wenran and sat on the stool at the dining table.
She smiled and said, "It's time for dinner. You came at the perfect time. I'll make you whatever you want to eat."
Yu Wenran looked at the girl in front of him, staring at her soft-looking lips that kept opening and closing as she spoke.
It must be delicious.
He looked at the girl in front of him and hesitated to speak.
Gu Yanyue looked at him strangely. Yu Wenran, who had been staring at her silently, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "Your Majesty? Ah Ran? What's wrong with you today?"
In Yu Wenran's eyes, everything Gu Yanyue did at this moment seemed to be seducing him.
Yu Wenran just felt that Gu Yanyue's chattering in front of him was really delicious.
Yu Wenran, who had lived in the deep palace for more than ten years and had witnessed all kinds of inferior means, now realized that he had been tricked.
He thought about it carefully, and the only thing wrong was the sweet smell in Concubine Rou's palace.
A sinister look flashed across his handsome eyes.
Gu Yanyue looked at Yu Wenran suspiciously, as he was still silent, looking as if he was lost in thought. She then asked again, "Are you okay? What's wrong with you?"
Yu Wenran suppressed his body's reaction and stood up, no longer looking at Gu Yanyue, saying: "I... have been drugged."
Gu Yanyue was surprised. Looking at Yu Wenran who looked unhappy, she couldn't help but ask with concern: "Ah? You, can you still hold it in?"
Yu Wenran lowered his eyes: "Don't worry, as long as you don't want to, I won't force you."
He then called Eunuch Gao outside and said, "Prepare some cold water for me and put it in the bathtub. I want to take a bath."
Eunuch Gao was surprised and said, "Your Majesty, your health has been poor to begin with. This cold water..."
Yuwen Ran interrupted Eunuch Gao and said, "When I told you to go, you went. When did my words become useless?"
Eunuch Gao had no choice but to lower his head and agree, then stepped back to let someone prepare.
Everything was ready in a short while, and Yuwen Ran strode to the bathing area.
Gu Yanyue was waiting worriedly in the hall. After a moment, Yuwen Ran came back. As soon as he walked towards Gu Yanyue, she felt a chill.
Gu Yanyue quickly stepped forward and supported the shaky Yuwen Ran. She looked up and down at Yuwen Ran's face, which was a little pale. She asked with concern, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Yu Wenran felt completely exhausted and responded weakly, "Yeah."
Gu Yanyue didn't believe it, so she touched Yu Wenran's forehead with her bare hand, and was startled by the hot body temperature.
"You have a fever?" Gu Yanyue said nervously.
Yu Wenran shook his head and was about to deny it, but he felt dizzy and his vision became increasingly darker, and then he lost consciousness.
Gu Yanyue watched Yuwen Ran suddenly faint in front of her. She supported the unconscious Yuwen Ran and quickly turned around and shouted outside, "Help! His Majesty has fainted!"
"Your Majesty is already weak, and after being immersed in cold water, a high fever is inevitable. Your Majesty, just follow my prescription and boil the medicine for Your Majesty on time. You will recover soon."
Imperial Physician Li handed the pharmacy he had just written to the palace maid waiting nearby.
