Chapter 210 Beirong Emperor wakes up
A Lingzhu stood in front of the bed, looking at them, then her eyes fell on Su Rina, she pointed at Su Rina and said to Concubine De: "I haven't even asked Concubine De why she brought the deposed queen to His Majesty's bedroom, but you're the first to blame her!"
"His Majesty has said that the Empress will be confined to her for life, and we will never see each other again, whether alive or dead. How dare you go against His Majesty's words!"
"I didn't, but the evil concubine is in power, and His Majesty is seriously ill. Since His Majesty has not deposed the queen, then the queen is still the queen of Beirong. Why can't she come out to take charge of the situation!"
"But you, A Lingzhu, you know what you did to His Majesty. Now I even suspect that the baby in your belly is not the heir to the throne!"
"After all, when His Majesty recovered from his illness, you were the only one who was pregnant with a child. And His Majesty is so old, how could he still have an heir?"
A Lingzhu sneered: "So Concubine De is jealous that I can bear another child for Your Majesty?"
"That's enough. Stop arguing." Su Rina suddenly spoke, staring into A Lingzhu's eyes and questioning.
"A Lingzhu, the witch doctor can indeed treat His Majesty, but each time he uses the medicine, the damage will be more serious. His Majesty is now on his last legs, and you dared to use witchcraft on him. Do you know your crime?"
Ah Lingzhu laughed out loud: "As a deposed queen, how dare you stand here and talk to me? Please don't slander me."
"I only brought a witch doctor to treat Your Majesty, and I did not use any witchcraft."
"Chao Lu Ke is still standing here."
Although A Lingzhu couldn't guarantee that Chao Lu would definitely help him, she was taking a gamble. After all, Chao Lu raised her, so there was at least a 50% chance of winning the bet.
"Everyone knows that Chao Lu raised you, so he will stand by you and speak for you. Imperial Physician, go and treat His Majesty!"
Concubine De didn't believe her and asked the imperial physician to come forward and treat her.
A group of imperial doctors came in, looked at Concubine De, and then looked at A Lingzhu who was standing in front of the bed.
Don't dare to go forward.
Su Rina said, "Go and treat His Majesty. I will take care of anything that happens."
With Su Rina's words, the imperial doctors all walked towards the bed.
A Lingzhu glanced at the witch doctor, who nodded. Only then did she walk aside with peace of mind and let the imperial physician treat her.
Su Rina looked at Chao Lu: "Chao Lu, you are also an old man beside His Majesty, and you have served three emperors. I will only ask you once, has she ever used Gu on His Majesty?"
It would be a lie for A Lingzhu to say she wasn't nervous. Once she told Chao Lu the truth, things would be troublesome.
Chao Lu looked at A Lingzhu with cold eyes and spoke slowly.
Defei and others all looked at him. A Lingzhu's hands hidden in her sleeves clenched instantly, and she was extremely nervous.
"No, the Queen Consort just asked the witch doctor to treat Your Majesty."
The moment A Lingzhu heard Chao Lu's words, her heart instantly settled down. She had won the bet.
"Chao Lu is A Lingzhu's adoptive father, how can you believe what he says!" Defei retorted loudly.
Su Rina raised her hand and said, "De Fei, it is well known that Chao Lu and the Queen Mother have fallen out. Since Chao Lu said that he has never done that, I will believe it."
Defei wanted to say something, but Su Rina gave her a look and she stopped talking.
A Lingzhu raised the corners of her mouth with pride and looked at Chao Lu with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
Chao Lu just glanced at her indifferently. A Lingzhu knew what he meant. He would only help her this last time.
But it is enough.
After a while, the imperial physician stood up happily and said, "Your Majesty's pulse has returned to normal. If nothing unexpected happens, you will wake up soon."
"Really?" Defei was dumbfounded. Did A Lingzhu really not do anything wrong?
Su Rina's eyes also burst into joy. She glanced at A Lingzhu, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Queen?" Concubine De was puzzled. Although she didn't want Su Rina to come out again, was she going to leave before the person woke up?
"I should leave now, otherwise when His Majesty wakes up, he will be disgusted with me." Su Rina's eyes were full of sadness. She loved His Majesty terribly, but she also did many wrong things.
As long as she knew that he was safe, she didn't want to see the look of disgust in her lover's eyes again.
When Concubine De saw the queen like this, she felt sorry for her.
But in the end, she said nothing and let the queen leave and return to her Qifeng Palace.
"Sister Defei, your backer is gone. Ah, she is not your backer either. If I remember correctly, your first child was also lost by Su Rina, right?"
"What? Your wound healed so quickly and you've forgotten the pain?" After hearing what A Lingzhu said, Concubine De looked unhappy.
A Lingzhu looked at her with a sneer, raised her hand and waved it slightly, and immediately several palace servants came forward.
"Sister Defei is tired, please ask her to return to the palace!"
"A Lingzhu, I am the leader of the four concubines. I will wait here for His Majesty to wake up. You can't chase me away!"
"You'd better understand one thing. This prince is the King of the Southern Courtyard!"
Listening to Concubine De's words, A Lingzhu's expression changed slightly. Yes, her son, Concubine De, was the King of the Southern Courtyard, and the Queen's adopted son was the King of the Northern Courtyard, holding the military power of the Northern Army.
Only her son is nothing, just a lazy and dissolute prince.
Even if His Majesty dotes on her, what does it matter? A Lingzhu clenched her hands slightly, that position can only belong to her, the emperor's son.
It can only be!
Whoever stands in her way will be killed!
Frightened by the cruelty in her eyes, Concubine De took a few steps back and heard footsteps behind her.
Defei thought it was A Lingzhu's people coming forward, and a big hand held her waist.
Then a familiar male voice came: "Mother, be careful."
"My son, you are here." When Concubine De saw that it was her son who came, she instantly gained confidence and grasped the hand of the King of the Southern Courtyard.
The King of the Southern Court patted her hands, looked at A Lingzhu, and bowed to her: "Grand Concubine, I came to see my father. I heard that you asked a witch doctor to cure my father?"
"Well, King Nanyuan is not feeling well, but he still came to the palace. That's thoughtful of him."
"It just so happens that the witch doctor is here, otherwise I'd ask him to take a look at you too..."
Before A Lingzhu could finish her words, Concubine De directly refused: "A Lingzhu, what are you thinking? My son does not need the treatment of a witch doctor!"
"Don't be so nervous. I mean well, don't I?"
As she spoke, A Lingzhu raised her eyebrows provocatively at Concubine De.
"What... are you arguing about!" a slightly hoarse voice came.
Defei's face lit up with joy and she ran towards the bed anxiously. How could A Lingzhu let Defei get her wish? She was so close to her and rushed directly to the bed.
"Your Majesty, you are awake. That's great. I must have scared A Lingzhu. Look, I am already eight months pregnant."
As she spoke, she took the Beirong Emperor's hand and placed it on her bulging belly.
"Your Majesty, you are finally awake. You have been drowsy and your sleep has been getting longer and longer. I am very worried about you."
Defei finally came to the bedside and looked at Emperor Beirong with tears in her eyes.
Emperor Beirong looked at her, his mouth slightly raised, and he was still very weak: "I'm sorry to have made my beloved concubine worried."
