Chapter 8 The Bed Scene in Kunning Palace 02
"Your Majesty, as you suspected, the Emperor has been infected."
Fanghua had just finished washing up when Li Changfu came to deliver the message.
She hadn't expected to wait until this time; she had thought it would be sooner. It seems the Emperor's patience is astonishing.
"Is it that palace maid?" She wanted to see if Nara would still be able to laugh afterward.
“Yes,” Li Changfu replied in a low voice.
"Help me change my clothes."
As the mistress of Kunning Palace, she cannot be absent, otherwise she will be one of the suspects tomorrow.
"Your Highness, you mustn't!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Mama immediately spoke up to stop her. "You are pregnant with twins, how can you listen to such filthy sounds? Let this old servant go."
Granny Zhang couldn't bear to let her mistress suffer such an injustice.
"No." Fanghua waved her hand, stopping Zhang Mama from continuing. "If I don't go, this show won't be very interesting."
Fanghua put on a cloak and led her people to the side hall.
However, when she arrived, Wei Zhong was guarding the door. He was startled when he saw the Empress coming. If anything happened to this mistress, he would lose ten heads.
"Oh my, Your Majesty, what brings you here? You could have just called me if you needed anything, why did you have to come all this way?" Wei Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. The Emperor didn't know what was going on, but today he had favored a palace maid in the side hall.
You must understand, this is Kunning Palace. Isn't the Emperor slapping the Empress in the face by doing this?
Your Majesty, my Lord, why can't you hold back? If you can't hold back, it would be better to return to the Qianqing Palace.
Fanghua couldn't hear Wei Zhong's inner thoughts, but seeing the sweat dripping from his forehead, she couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
This person is loyal, but his loyalty is not for her, so it's useless.
"I heard that Your Majesty has taken a liking to one of my palace maids. I came to see if Your Majesty finds her to your liking. If not, I brought some others with me so Your Majesty can choose from them."
Listen to those angry words! It's clear that the Empress is extremely upset. My lady, what am I supposed to do?
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? Your Majesty must have been too tired from court affairs today, so he thought of finding someone to relax. Your Majesty, please don't mind. No matter how many people enter the harem, none can surpass you."
This master must not be allowed to get into trouble.
Fanghua had a long face, as if she wouldn't leave until she saw him. "I know this isn't your fault. Don't worry, I won't spoil His Majesty's fun. I just want to see what kind of person makes His Majesty disregard my reputation."
After saying that, she had someone bring over a chair and then plopped down in it.
Wei Zhong was sweating profusely, his forehead was almost completely soaked with sweat.
At this moment, he just wanted the Emperor to finish quickly and appease the Empress, otherwise he would inevitably get a beating tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't! You are carrying the prince, you mustn't be careless. Why don't you go back and rest first, and I'll pass on the message to the Emperor after he's finished?"
Regardless, the first thing to do is to get rid of the person in front of you.
If anything were to happen in front of him, not only the Emperor, but even the Empress Dowager would not forgive him.
Fanghua remained unmoved, sitting there staring intently at the closed door.
An hour passed while they waited.
Wei Zhong knelt directly beside the Empress, because the commotion inside the room showed no signs of stopping. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is too valiant!"
Fanghua wouldn't wait here forever. She gripped the old woman's hand tighter and tighter, and then fainted as the sounds from inside the room filled the air.
"Oh no! Her Majesty the Empress has fainted! Quickly, summon the imperial physician!"
Granny Zhang was shocked and immediately shouted loudly, intending for the people inside to hear the commotion outside. However, she didn't know that the people inside had no time to care about anything else, as they were completely absorbed in their love affair and couldn't extricate themselves.
In the end, it alarmed the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.
At first, when they learned that the Empress had summoned the imperial physician in the middle of the night, they thought there was a problem with the imperial heir in the Empress's womb, and rushed over in a panic.
On the way, they learned that the Empress had been angered by the Emperor and had threatened miscarriage, so the two immediately went to a side hall.
Wei Zhong remained standing guard, not daring to move an inch. Upon seeing the two men arrive, he immediately knelt down in fear and begged for forgiveness.
But the people inside remained completely still. Even the Empress Dowager's personal shouts could not stop the affair. Having served in the imperial harem for three reigns, the Empress Dowager immediately sensed something was amiss.
Naturally, someone was sent to fetch the imperial physician to wait here, so that he could examine the emperor as soon as he woke up.
They, of course, rushed to see the Empress.
There was some spotting, but it wasn't real bleeding; rather, it was Xiao Feng expelling some toxins from her body.
"Master, why are you doing this? Wouldn't it be better to just detoxify him? That way, our little master can recover better." Xiao Feng was very puzzled.
"What do you know? I have to make good use of these poisons. Look, they're coming in handy now. Alright, don't cure too many, or that old poison woman will find out."
The Empress Dowager poisoned her because she was afraid that Hesheli would become useless to her in the future, and even more afraid that Hesheli's achievements would overshadow the emperor.
Hmph, just wait, she'll definitely pay back all that poison.
Xiao Feng looked aggrieved and said, "Okay."
It obeys its owner.
Fanghua hid inside the space, leaving her body in the outer room. As long as she didn't go out, her body would remain unconscious.
Hehe, tomorrow, there's going to be a good show.
"What's going on? Why isn't the Empress awake yet? How is the imperial heir?" The Empress Dowager was also very anxious; she never expected the Empress to bleed.
The poison she used was a weakening poison, not a deadly one, so this situation wouldn't have occurred.
The imperial physicians who came to examine her included the Emperor's own physician and the Empress Dowager's own physician. Both physicians made the same diagnosis: the Empress had been traumatized and her pregnancy had been affected. She was currently unconscious because her health had been damaged.
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Her Majesty the Empress has not only suffered a miscarriage but has also exhausted her mental energy. I fear she may not wake up for a while. I will immediately prescribe medicine for Her Majesty to replenish her mental energy. The imperial heir is safe, but she must not be subjected to any further stimulation in the future."
The one who spoke was Imperial Physician Wang, the Empress Dowager's trusted physician, and he naturally understood what the Empress Dowager wanted to hear.
The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"What about Physician Zhang? Do you agree with Physician Wang's judgment?" The Empress Dowager knew that this young Physician Zhang was the Emperor's man, so she naturally wouldn't bypass him.
Physician Zhang understood the Empress Dowager's intention in asking the question. "In response to the Empress Dowager, this servant's judgment is the same as Physician Wang's. However, it is not only necessary to replenish the Empress's mind and spirit, but also to nourish the prince in the Empress's womb."
Perhaps he's still too young and doesn't know how to hide his talents, so he says things without thinking.
"Oh, so what brilliant idea does Physician Zhang have?"
Physician Zhang was a bit impulsive, but he wasn't stupid. Seeing the Empress Dowager's change of attitude, he immediately realized that he had gotten himself into trouble. "Your Majesty, all we need to do is add a few ingredients to Physician Wang's prescription."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager stared at Physician Zhang for a few more moments, then waved for the two of them to leave and discuss the matter, emphasizing the importance of protecting the Empress and the unborn child.
