Chapter 5 The Beloved Concubine of a Prosperous Era
As for Luo Xi, they didn't suspect she was faking it. After all, when they arrived, her face was deathly pale, and she was slumped on the ground.
They tried to help her up, but she refused, saying she needed to sit and rest for a while.
Later, it took her about 15 minutes to finally stand up. She had been leaning against that pillar, staring at the corpses of Chen Li and Old Madam Shen for almost half an hour. She must have been in extreme pain, so it's understandable that she fainted...
Qi Huai noticed their gazes and looked towards the Imperial Guards. "Why are you all staring at me like that?"
Imperial Guard: "...Young Prince, isn't it inappropriate for you to be holding the Lady of the Marquis like that?"
Qi Huai didn't let go, stating the fact: "She fainted."
The Imperial Guard pointed to the maid beside him, "There are maids here, they can..."
Qi Huai: "They're weak. What if she falls and hurts herself? Even if she's dizzy, she'll still feel pain."
Embroidered Uniform Guard: "........."
In short, the young prince simply didn't want to let go of the Lady Hou.
Their gazes fell on Luo Xi's face, which, though bloodless, was breathtakingly beautiful and pitiful.
Could this young prince have taken a liking to the Lady of the Marquis? Surely not.
Qi Huai sent someone to fetch a doctor.
Imperial Guard: "Young Prince, our men have already gone to fetch the doctor, he will be here shortly."
Qi Huai nodded.
He carried Luo Xi and walked in one direction.
The Imperial Guards stopped Qi Huai and asked urgently, "Young Prince, where are you taking Lady Hou?"
Qi Huai: "I'll carry her inside and have her lie down."
Imperial Guard: "......Oh, oh."
A moment later, several doctors rushed over.
One of the doctors reached out and placed his hand on Luo Xi's wrist to take her pulse, his expression growing increasingly grave as he examined her.
Qi Huai: "What's wrong with her?"
The doctor said, "Madam Hou's body is very weak, probably due to excessive fright. She needs to drink some thousand-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum to replenish her strength, and she will need to rest for ten days to half a month to fully recover."
Qi Huai: !!!
Do I need to rest for another ten days to two weeks? Is it that serious?
It seems she was quite frightened.
He has both thousand-year-old ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms, and he will have someone bring them to her to nourish her body.
The next few doctors also took my pulse, and what they said was almost identical to what the first one had said...
Half a month later, not long after Shen Li died.
On this day, the emperor summoned Luo Xi to the palace.
Xuanhua Hall
Emperor Shen looked at Luo Xi's beautiful and stunning face and nodded in satisfaction.
No wonder Qi Huai gave her precious and rare thousand-year-old ginseng and lingzhi to nourish her body.
Such a beautiful woman is truly rare in this world.
Emperor Shen tapped the table lightly. "Madam, Marquis Shen is gone, but we must move forward, don't you think?"
Luo Xi: "Yes."
Seeing that Luo Xi was so sensible, Emperor Shen continued, "Then would you like to remarry? How about marrying Qi Huai?"
Luo Xi was a little surprised when she heard this.
Seeing the expression on Luo Xi's face, Emperor Shen smiled and said, "Lady Hou, you are very clever and should know my intentions."
Luo Xi: "........."
This emperor is really sick.
He really overestimated her; she didn't have the ability to keep Qi Huai's heart in the capital. After all, her heart wasn't here.
Emperor Shen didn't care whether Luo Xi agreed or not. Now that she was someone who had no one to rely on, he didn't need to care too much about her opinion.
He had a eunuch present her with a black pill and said forcefully, "Eat it."
"The antidote is given once a month."
Luo Xi: !!!
She stared at the black pill, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
very good!
It seems he's been emperor for far too long.
