Chapter 909 Invalid?
After a while, Zhu Feng followed Xiao Man to Concubine Li's room.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Feng Shu lying at the head of the bed.
She looked gloomy and pale, with an abnormal blush on her cheeks. Her eyes were also slightly red and bloodshot. It was obvious that she had not rested well and looked sick.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Feng walked to the bedside and looked down at her: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Your Majesty," Feng Shu was dying, but when she looked up and saw that it was him, an almost happy smile immediately appeared on her face. She struggled to get up, but her body was weak, and she collapsed again as soon as she moved.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry I can't bow to you."
"No problem."
Zhu Feng put his hand on her shoulders and pushed her back onto the bed.
Because the two of them were so close to each other, he immediately smelled a familiar, intoxicating fragrance emanating from her body.
It seems much richer than usual.
Normally, when Zhu Feng smelled this fragrance, he would only feel his heart fluttering, but this time, he felt a little dizzy, but his consciousness was still very clear.
My hands and feet just feel weak from time to time.
“…”
He frowned, and when Concubine Li saw him like this, she immediately stretched out her hands and climbed onto his arms.
"Your Majesty, are you not feeling well too? If you are, you may rest here with me."
Although she was sick, her hands were still strong.
Like a boneless snake, it looks soft but it wraps around people so tightly that they feel a little breathless.
Just then, a voice came from outside the door.
"Empress Li."
It was the voice of the imperial physician.
Upon hearing this voice, Feng Shu's brows immediately furrowed, and her hands softened. Zhu Feng straightened up and turned back to say, "Imperial Physician, you're here."
"yes."
The imperial physician walked in from outside.
Feng Shu's face turned ugly, and she said, "I, I didn't ask you to come over."
The imperial physician smiled and said, "Of course, Concubine Li did not call me."
“…”
"Just now, His Highness the Prince of Wei went to visit the little princess with the Imperial Concubine. She mentioned that Concubine Li was ill, so the Prince of Wei ordered this humble official to come and see her."
Feng Shu's face became even uglier.
"I, I'm fine. I don't need to see a doctor."
The imperial physician smiled apologetically and said, "Empress Li, you can't hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor."
Zhu Feng had already walked to a chair nearby and sat down, saying, "Yes, let the imperial physician examine you."
“…”
He had already spoken, so Feng Shu naturally had nothing to say. She could only grit her teeth and stretch out her wrist.
The imperial physician stepped forward, placed a small cushion under her hand, covered her wrist with a silk handkerchief, and carefully took her pulse.
I examined him for a while.
Zhu Feng asked, "How?"
The imperial physician stood up and said, "Madam Lipin, this is caused by excessive heart fire and depression."
After saying that, he looked around the room, walked over and opened the windows on both sides. Suddenly, a gust of river breeze rushed in, making everyone shiver.
Only Zhu Feng, who had long been accustomed to such bitter cold weather, didn't care at all.
However, when the wind blew in, the fragrance in the room was blown away.
Feng Shu's face turned pale.
She immediately said, "Doctor, what are you doing? I'm not feeling well, and you're opening the window. Are you trying to make me catch a cold and get even sicker?"
"Your Highness, Concubine Li is wrong."
Taiyi said seriously, "Your Majesty is from the Kingdom of Dian and has long been accustomed to the bitter cold. The winter in Jiangnan won't make you catch a cold. But your Majesty is ill now. Keeping the doors and windows of your room tightly closed and without ventilation will only make your condition worse."
“…”
Feng Shu's face darkened again: "This——"
"Please rest assured, Madam Lipin," the imperial physician said seriously, "I will go down and prescribe a dose of medicine for you. You will take two doses and then rest assured to take care of the family for a while, and you will be fine."
Feng Shu was about to say something, but Zhu Feng beside her said, "You should listen to the imperial physician on this matter."
Although he felt a little dizzy just now, when Taiyi opened the window and the cold river breeze blew in, he not only did not feel cold, but felt refreshed instead.
Looking at Feng Shu again, he seemed a little more sober.
Feng Shu bit her lower lip and could only say, "I know."
"Yeah, that's good to know."
After Zhu Feng finished speaking, he said to the imperial physician, "Go down and do your job."
"yes."
The imperial physician responded and left the room, while Zhu Feng also stood up and turned to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Feng Shu became anxious: "The Emperor is leaving?"
Zhu Feng said, "The imperial physician said you need to rest. It's just right. I still have some things to do, so you can rest assured."
After saying that, he walked out of her room.
Just after Zhu Feng walked out a few steps, he stopped again, a strange expression appeared on his face, and he looked back.
But, without alarming anyone, he turned and walked away again.
At this moment, Feng Shu, who stayed in the room, froze.
Zhu Feng actually left me like this.
If he went there, he would definitely not leave. He would definitely stay with me and would definitely not leave at this time.
But why? Why is he so indifferent to me now?
Could it be that my own fragrance——
Thinking of this, she subconsciously raised her arm and smelled herself, but immediately came back to her senses -
How can you smell it without taking any medicine?
Of course it was normal that he couldn't smell it, but Zhu Feng - could it be that he couldn't smell it either?
Impossible, it has never failed in such a long time!
But if it hadn't failed, why would Zhu Feng's attitude change?
Feng Shu was plunged into infinite fear and random guesses for a moment. The more she thought about it, the more unbearable it felt like her heart was burning.
At this time, Xiao Man saw her like this and said, "Empress Li, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiao Man," Feng Shu said nervously, "Is my incense ineffective?"
"How is that possible? The Queen's incense is not an ordinary medicine, how could it be ineffective?"
“…”
Hearing her say this, Feng Shu also came back to her senses.
Yes, this is not a medicine, it is impossible for it to be ineffective.
But--
She said in a panic, "If it's not ineffective, then why did the emperor leave? Why did he leave?"
“…”
"Something must have gone wrong. My incense must have lost its effect!"
Xiao Man thought for a moment and said, "But Your Majesty, these past few days, I have had people closely watching the Emperor's movements. I have also had Lord Ye and the Imperial Concubine under observation."
“…”
"The Imperial Concubine did send someone to our Yangxingzhai, but of course she found nothing."
“…”
"There is also Lord Ye. He has also thought of many ways, but of course they are useless."
“…”
"Moreover, the Emperor hasn't summoned the imperial physician to check his pulse these days, nor has he taken any medicine. It's impossible for him to escape the Empress's control."
“…”
"Your Majesty should be relieved."
She should be relieved after hearing what she said, but whenever Feng Shu thought about Zhu Feng abandoning her, she couldn't calm down at all, and it felt like a fire was burning in her heart.
Why did he leave?
If he leaves, doesn't that mean that my incense has lost its effectiveness?
She felt that she was being paranoid and was going crazy.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Man was also a little worried, and hurried forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Anyway, you have done everything you should do now. We are already on the boat. When we arrive in Peking, everything will be-"
"no!"
Feng Shu slammed her fist on the bed.
Xiaoman was frightened by her and took a step back.
Feng Shu gritted her teeth fiercely, her cheeks almost deformed due to biting so hard. She said word by word: "He is mine, he belongs to me alone!"
“…”
"No one can take him away!"

Nan Yan sat by the window, looking at the scenery outside.
The river surface was sparkling, and the water kept rising and falling, just like her own heart at the moment. Although there was no expression on her face, she knew that her heart had never stopped beating.
But this kind of beating is painful.
"Your Majesty..."
Aunt Tongyun came forward and said softly, "Why did your Majesty clear the food away? You haven't eaten much yet."
Nan Yan waved her hands: "I can't eat."
"Can--"
"Stop talking," Nan Yan said calmly, "I want to be quiet for a while."
Aunt Tongyun sighed and was about to turn around and leave, but she saw Zhu Feng's tall figure walking in from outside the door.
His eyes widened in surprise: "Your Majesty?"
When Nan Yan heard her voice, she was stunned for a moment, turned around, and was immediately dumbfounded.
When Zhu Feng walked in and saw the empty table, he immediately frowned: "Where's the food?"
“…”
Nan Yan was completely unresponsive for a moment, until Aunt Tongyun came over and tugged at her sleeve. She then reluctantly stood up and said to Zhu Feng, "Your Majesty."
"I ask you, where's the food?"
"Concubine, let them withdraw."
“Why are you withdrawing?”
Zhu Feng's face darkened and he glared at her: "Didn't I say I would come back?"
“…”
"I haven't finished that bowl of rice yet!"
Aunt Tongyun was both happy and afraid. She knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will have the imperial kitchen bring it over right away."
She was really scared, and Zhu Feng was about to turn around and leave in anger.
Zhu Feng looked at them sullenly for a moment before angrily saying, "Why don't you go now? Do you want me to wait on an empty stomach?"
"yes!"
Aunt Tongyun almost crawled up and hurried out.
Nan Yan stood there, still a little dazed.
Just staring at him blankly.
Zhu Feng walked over and looked at her thin, pointed chin. A familiar feeling came over him. He reached out and pinched her chin directly: "Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?"
“…”
Nan Yan suddenly felt her eyes getting a little hot.
She stared at him blankly, with something hot and wet welling up in her eyes.
