At this time, Concubine Ning also struggled to get up from the bed and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have been secretly taking medicine to regulate my body for the past six months because I really want a child, a child that belongs to you and Your Majesty..."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
A pair of eyes filled with tears looked at Emperor Mian with a pitiful look.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mian's eyes flickered a few times.
"Your Majesty, I...I really just want a child. Please forgive me this time for all the years I've served you..."
After saying that, she began to cry softly again.
Somehow, he used to feel some sympathy when he saw her tearful eyes, but now he just felt annoyed after using the same trick so many times.
"Haven't I told you many times that your body isn't suitable for pregnancy? Why are you still so stubborn?"
Emperor Mian's voice was so cold that it sent chills down the spine of the listeners.
His voice stopped Concubine Ning from sobbing.
But she immediately put on a look of grievance, "Your Majesty, I know you've always loved me in this palace, but what woman doesn't want to have a child? Now there are so many people in the palace and no one is pregnant. I hope to help Your Majesty solve his problems and expand the royal family. Is there anything wrong with that?"
After hearing this, Emperor Mian finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Enough! Do you think I don't know what you've been doing these past few years? Not to mention that every time I go to the palaces of other concubines, you find all kinds of excuses to ask me to leave, but in the past few years, you've also secretly given a lot of contraceptive soups to other people."
Emperor Mian angrily shouted, "Do you think you can get away with this with just these tricks? Koning, a person's patience is limited, you know that?"
Concubine Ning was stunned, her tears stopped abruptly, and she stared at the emperor's crown in disbelief.
She never expected that the emperor would blame her so much this time. He had never scolded her before.
Gu Jinqiao...
Is it because of this bitch?
"emperor......"
"Okay, stop talking!"
Emperor Mian interrupted her before she could even begin. He then directed the eunuchs beside him, "Issue an order: Imperial Physician Fang is old and his medical skills are inadequate. He is dismissed from his position as Imperial Physician at the Imperial Hospital, and his three generations will be banned from practicing medicine forever."
Too old?
The young eunuch looked at the 30-year-old imperial physician Fang Zhou in front of him and fell into deep doubt. Did he hear it wrong?
"Your Majesty, were you talking about Doctor Fang just now?" he asked cautiously.
"If not him, who else?"
"...Yes, Your Majesty."
The young eunuch nodded quickly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This elderly doctor Fang was in great misfortune.
When Doctor Fang heard his punishment, he was completely stunned.
"I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Doctor Fang knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
Emperor Mian had no expression on his face and watched him being dragged out with indifference.
But at this time, Concubine Ning felt very disappointed.
The emperor is killing the chicken to scare the monkeys!
He didn't believe in himself and he began to hate himself.
At this moment, she collapsed on the ground as if her soul had been sucked out. Her pretty face had lost its former beauty and turned as pale as paper.
"Chen Shou, from now on, you will be responsible for taking care of Concubine Ning's health. If I hear news of Concubine Ning's sudden heart attack every other day, I will chop off your head."
"Yes, I obey your order."
Emperor Mian looked at the palace maids beside Concubine Ning and said, "Since Concubine Ning is weak, she should recuperate in Yongning Palace. You can go out again when you are well."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left with his men, and the hall became quiet.
Concubine Ning sat there for a long time without responding. After a while, a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on her lips.
As expected, in this world, we only hear the laughter of new people but never the crying of old people.
Thinking of Gu Jinqiao at the age of 28, whose face was so tender that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it, she couldn't help but touch her face. Is she really old?
The emperor also began to dislike himself?
He had clearly said before that he would protect her for the rest of his life, and even if he had other women in the future, she would always be the most important one in his heart.
But since that incident fifteen years ago
"Empress Ning?" Xiangcao beside her called out softly and tentatively.
Concubine Ning looked up at her, her face extremely gloomy, "You all should leave."
She waved her hand and asked everyone to leave, then sat alone at the table with a dazed look on her face.
"My lady, what's wrong with you?"
Everyone else left, only Vanilla was still waiting here.
Concubine Ning seemed not to hear her and remained silent.
"My Lady, are you feeling unwell? Let me help you back to bed and rest for a while!"
After she finished speaking, she reached out to help her up, but Concubine Ning pushed her away, "Get out, I don't need your help, get out..."
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing this, Vanilla had no choice but to lower her head and retreat.
Looking at the tightly closed palace door, Concubine Ning's expression became even more distorted.
She would never allow any woman to have a place in the emperor's heart, absolutely not!
......
In the next month, the place Emperor Mian went to most often was Wanyue Palace.
This man who had sex with women was completely different from the men who had not. Every time he went there, he would hold the delicate beauty in his arms, and then be gentle, affectionate, and lingering...
That day, after the emperor finished his court session, he went straight to the Wanyue Palace.
"Where is your master?"
As soon as he entered the hall, he asked, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the room.
Yingchun and Yingxia quickly replied, "Your Majesty, our young lady has been summoned to Yongkang Palace by the Empress Dowager."
"Did the Queen Mother send her there?"
"yes."
Hearing this, Emperor Mian frowned, "Why did the Queen Mother summon her?"
"This...the servants don't know."
"Okay, all of you go down."
Emperor Mian waved his hand, and the two of them bowed and left quickly.
Looking at the empty bedroom, a hint of displeasure flashed across Emperor Mian's face, and then he turned and walked out of the room.
Yongkang Palace.
The Queen Mother sat upright at the top of the table, while the nanny stood on her right, serving her.
"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother and wish her a long and healthy life."
Gu Jinqiao knelt before the Queen Mother and saluted respectfully.
"Do you know why I summoned you here?"
"Your Majesty, I am not very knowledgeable. Please explain clearly."
The Dowager took a sip of her teacup, then slowly put it down. "You've been so popular these days. I heard that even the Emperor is completely captivated by you."
