Chapter 303 Concubine An took the initiative to ask for a rest
However, the emperor actually arranged it this way, so he must have his own intentions.
The princess pondered for a while, and asked the eunuch to call Concubine An in.
Since Concubine An decided to come and take care of the emperor who was suffering from the plague, then she would do as she wished.
Although the princess was still a little strange, in her impression, Concubine An didn't love the emperor so much. In fact, the princess was very clear in her mind. The things that the concubines in the harem did to please the emperor were just for survival. Now
, everyone with a discerning eye knows that if you get the plague, you will definitely die. Why does Concubine An still disregard her own life and come to take care of the emperor?
The princess felt that something was wrong, so she decided to let Concubine An in first and then make plans.
"After you call Concubine An in, go and find out the news about Concubine Shu and see how she is doing."
After the eunuch left, Concubine An entered the bedroom not long after.
Tears were still on her face. When she saw the emperor unconscious on the bed, she rushed to his side as soon as she came in, crying.
"I really want to get hurt myself, and I don't want the emperor to get sick! Your Majesty, can you wake up and see me?" Concubine
An's voice was filled with grief, and the little grandson who was watching coldly on the side pulled the corners of his mouth speechlessly. Concubine
An's performance, those who didn't know would think that the emperor was not sick with the plague, but dead.
Concubine An didn't realize that her performance was very exaggerated.
Her tears flowed down like beads from a broken string. The little grandson had never seen anyone who could cry so easily and cry so sincerely.
If Concubine An continued to cry like this, the emperor would probably be awakened by her tears.
"Please calm down, Concubine An. The emperor just accidentally contracted the plague, and the symptoms are still under control."
The little grandson meant to ask Concubine An to shut up and stop crying.
But Concubine An looked at the little grandson angrily.
"You are such a cold-hearted descendant of the Pei family. His Majesty is now lying in bed infected with the plague, and you bring up such a topic. It is simply disloyal and unfilial!"
Concubine An already hated the little grandson who was blocking her son's fight for power, and now she had the chance to step on him.
When the princess returned to the bedroom, she heard Concubine An scolding the little grandson. She rubbed her brows with a headache.
Only then did she feel that it was not easy for her brother to balance the women in the harem. Each of them was so scheming and worrying.
"Okay, Xuanyi is right. His Majesty is just lying in bed, not dead yet. Don't make a fuss anymore."
If someone else said this, Concubine An would have to say something. But the princess and the emperor have always had a good relationship, so Concubine An didn't dare to say anything more.
"Your Highness, please, please allow me to take care of His Majesty here!"
The princess was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Concubine An really wanted to stay here? Isn't she afraid that the emperor's disease will infect her?
The princess thought of what the eunuch had just told her, that after Concubine Shu heard that the emperor had contracted the plague, she only sent someone to inquire about the news and delivered a message.
She seemed to understand why the emperor did this, probably to test how far Concubine An and Concubine Shu could go for him. Now the position of Empress Dowager is still vacant in the palace, maybe...
The princess stopped thinking about it, but looked up at Concubine An with a sharp look in her eyes.
"Have you thought about it? If you get this plague, it is very likely that there will be no cure, and you will eventually die."
The princess said this, not only to remind Concubine An that she would be infected, but also to warn her.
The reason why Concubine Shu chose not to come was, on the one hand, she was afraid that she would also be infected with the disease, and on the other hand, she was gambling.
This plague is so severe, and there is no antidote yet. What if the emperor can't survive until the antidote is developed?
Thinking of this, Concubine Shu and others were even more unwilling to risk their lives.
For some reason, Concubine An's expression was very firm, and so were her words.
"Your Highness, there is no need to ask me any more. I have really made up my mind. Even if I die, I will die with the emperor! I am not afraid of being infected, as long as the emperor is safe."
After saying this, Concubine An couldn't help but shed two more tears.
"My feelings for the emperor are evident to all. If something happens to the emperor, how can I live alone?"
Although Concubine An's words were very exaggerated, in such a context, the princess couldn't help but feel that Concubine An might really have deep feelings for the emperor.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, just serve His Majesty by his side."
"Changle..."
Suddenly, a voice came from the bed.
Everyone in the bedroom immediately looked towards the bed.
And the person who called the princess's name was naturally the confused emperor on the bed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are awake!"
Concubine An was so happy that she cried.
She buried her head in the emperor's bed, sobbing and thankful.
"Since Your Majesty has woken up, then everything is fine! I am willing to serve Your Majesty forever in the palace!"
No one saw that Concubine An's eyes flashed with pride.
She was still afraid that the emperor would not wake up, so wouldn't no one see her performance? This is very good, the emperor should have remembered the scene of her true love in times of trouble. Even if the performance was a bit exaggerated, the difference between Concubine An and Concubine Shu was obvious.
The emperor was still a little confused at this time. He didn't understand why so many people gathered in his bedroom.
Suddenly, the emperor seemed to think of something and shouted for the palace maid to bring the bronze mirror.
"My face!"
The emperor took the mirror and found that his face was fine, but his hands were all rotten. He found it hard to accept.
"Where is the imperial physician? Call the imperial physician to come and treat me! Hurry up, hurry up!"
The emperor saw the palace maids kneeling on the ground hesitantly without saying a word, and saw the eunuchs kneeling on the ground outside the curtain. He was furious.
"Quacks, a bunch of quacks! I will chop you all off!"
The eldest princess sighed as she saw the emperor going a little crazy.
"All of you go down first."
The other people in the bedroom received the order from the eldest princess, and they all ran out.
The eldest princess just said that if the imperial physician could not save the emperor, they would have to stay in the bedroom forever, but it was just a gamble. She understood that the imperial hospital had tried its best, but there was no antidote at the moment.
Seeing that the emperor was still shaking with anger, the eldest princess sat on the bed and pressed the emperor's head on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, my brother, there will be a way to solve it."
Her brother has always been wise, but now that it has come to the point where his life is in danger, he really can't calm down.
