At night, Shang Xiaoyang kissed Danruo on the face as he did in the previous few days, and then held her to sleep, but he felt his blood boiling.
Danruo in his arms also turned pink and twisted restlessly in his arms. He realized that it must be Chinese medicine and was about to call the imperial physician, but Danruo hooked her neck.
His eyes were red as he comforted Dan Ruo: "Be good, let the imperial physician see you and you'll feel better after taking the medicine."
The breath he exhaled swept across Danruo's neck, making her face flush even more red. She said dissatisfiedly, "It's so uncomfortable."
The sound she made was charming to the core, and then she tilted her head back and pressed it anxiously against Shang Xiaoyang's thin lips. Shang Xiaoyang had always been afraid that something would happen to her because of sleeping together, and he wanted her to stay with him in good health.
But at this moment his mind was blank, the words he wanted to say were blocked, the red waves were rolling, and when he woke up again, it was time to go to court.
He looked at Danruo's peaceful sleeping face, but he was still worried. He couldn't help but reach out to check her breathing. Only then did he feel relieved and asked Wang De to wait outside the house for Danruo to wake up.
She rushed over as soon as the morning started, and saw Danruo happily having breakfast. She felt very hungry because she had exhausted too much energy last night.
He watched Danruo eat and unconsciously ate an extra bowl of rice, but he did not forget about the suspected Chinese medicine incident last night.
He called his own imperial physician to take his and Dan Ruo's pulses, fearing that the harsh medicine used yesterday might have damaged their foundation.
He knew that Danruo loved him too much, so he was not angry when she was drugged in her bedroom, but he was just worried about her health.
After the imperial physician took her pulse, Shang Xiaoyang's eyes were filled with worry: "Is Imperial Concubine Yi okay?"
The imperial physician wanted to say that Concubine Yi's pulse was a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary person, so how could there be anything wrong with her? However, there was residual poison from the aphrodisiac in Concubine Yi's body, which might affect women's menstrual disorders.
After he reported the truth, he smelled a faint scent coming from the bedroom. He walked closer to the orchid pot, pinched the soil inside and sniffed it.
"This flower smells like aphrodisiac, so it's better not to keep it in the room."
Wang Youxi looked at the orchid and said, "This was given to our queen by Concubine Meng yesterday. She said that if you put it in the bedroom, your wishes will come true. Your Majesty placed it in the bedroom for good luck."
Shang Xiaoyang's face changed. Dan Ruo took the medicine because she loved him. Meng Jieyu attacked him and Dan Ruo with bad intentions. He immediately asked the secret guard to investigate all of Meng Jieyu's recent actions.
It was only after he had a private conversation with Wan Baolin in the cold palace that he had the medicine sent in from outside the palace.
After the secret guards interrogated Wan Baolin, Shang Xiaoyang learned that Wan Baolin thought he was misogynistic and impotent, and Meng Jieyu believed it without a doubt, so she drugged him just to make Danruo bring bad luck to herself.
He didn't expect that his kindness in sparing Wan Baolin's life would lead to her speaking nonsense now. Her words could at best instigate Concubine Meng to do bad things, and at worst, if they got out, they would threaten the country's foundation.
He asked the secret guards to deal with Wan Baolin, but he didn't know that Wan Baolin was not telling the truth. In addition to telling Concubine Meng, she also told Han Cairen who came to "visit" her last night.
But she is the niece of the empress dowager after all, so I should talk to her before touching her.
Meng Jieyu didn't hear any news the whole morning. She walked around her palace twice and asked her confidant to find the person in Yaoyue Palace to ask for news.
I just found out that he called for water five times in the main hall last night, and the imperial physician came to check his pulse this morning.
She panicked for a moment and hurried to the cold palace to find Wan Baolin, but was told by the people in the cold palace that Wan Baolin had suffered an acute illness this morning and had died suddenly.
Concubine Meng returned to her palace, feeling a little uneasy. In the afternoon, she received the emperor's oral order.
She was allowed to stay in the small Buddhist temple in the Empress Dowager's palace, accompanying the Empress Dowager in worshipping Buddha sincerely. It was not like being banished to the cold palace, but it was no different from being banished to the cold palace. She was not allowed to leave the palace and worship Buddha for the rest of her life.
When Meng Jieyu met the Queen Mother, she begged her desperately, but the Queen Mother still refused to help her.
Her face was pale and she spoke without thinking, "I just gave her an aphrodisiac. I didn't kill her. On the contrary, I helped her win the emperor's favor. Why would the emperor treat me like this?
What's more, my Meng family helped the emperor obtain the throne, but my aunt is so cowardly and doesn't help me win favor. The Meng family really wasted all their efforts in supporting my aunt and the emperor."
Seeing how stupid she was, the Queen Mother couldn't help but slap her:
"You can secretly bring medicine in from outside the palace. Today it's aphrodisiac, tomorrow it could be poison. The Meng family is so well-connected, how could the emperor be confident in letting a girl from the Meng family stay in the harem?
There is also a generation of civil officials in the Meng family. The emperor fought for the throne with his own hands. If anyone dares to say that the Meng family helped the emperor obtain the throne, he will be forcing the entire Meng family to death.
Now the Emperor has shown some tolerance towards the Meng family for my sake, but you and your father are so ungrateful. I will not be able to protect you in the future."
After saying that, she asked the nanny to keep Concubine Meng under guard and prevent her from causing trouble again. This was all she could do to help the emperor and the Meng family.
She also sent someone to give Danruo a reward as a gesture of goodwill to the emperor.
When Han Cairen learned that Concubine Meng was going to accompany the Empress Dowager in her religious life, she secretly guessed that after Concubine Meng knew that the Emperor was impotent, she had given up hope of winning his favor.
I am different from her. I really like the emperor. Even if the emperor is impotent, I will not give up, even if the emperor can only look at me.
But she doesn't compete for favor, and just wants to be a concubine. Why does she need to fast and chant Buddhist scriptures every day?
You have to know that she loves eating meat the most. In order to eat meat, she even ignores the most basic slender figure as a concubine. Eating vegetarianism must be a punishment. Maybe she has angered the emperor.
Could it be that she knew about the Emperor's impotence and the Emperor had discovered it? The Emperor was furious and had sent her to prison. In that case, she must watch her mouth.
The only ones left in the harem were the bookish Concubine Wang and the emperor's new favorite, Concubine Yi.
Concubine Han is a restless person and cannot concentrate on reading. She and Concubine Wang cannot get along well. Thinking that Concubine Yi also comes from a family of military generals, although she is jealous of her favor, after knowing that Shang Xiaoyang is impotent, her attitude towards Concubine Yi is just admiring her beauty. Who doesn't love beauty?
After Shang Xiaoyang got addicted to her, he pestered Dan Ruo every night, but he still asked the imperial physician to check Dan Ruo's pulse every day.
He still felt more at ease this way.
Danruo touched her belly. In a few days, the imperial physician would know the existence of the little life, and then she would be able to sleep well at night.
