The emperor glanced at Zhang, the chief steward. Before he could say anything, Zhang had already understood.
"I will call the imperial physician right away."
After the imperial physician said this, the emperor originally thought that nothing could happen to Xu Lingyi.
She is still young, and this age should be the healthiest.
But now, the emperor is also getting nervous.
There are few women like Xu Lingyi in the world.
Once he got it, he didn't want to lose it.
"This quack doctor has no real skills and has delayed my diagnosis and treatment. Don't worry, my beloved concubine, the other doctors will be here soon."
The emperor hugged Xu Lingyi, and she leaned on his arms.
"My dear, have you felt any discomfort in your body recently?"
The emperor asked her.
Xu Lingyi pretended to think carefully, she hesitated for a while, and finally nodded truthfully.
"have."
She noticed that the emperor looked a little nervous.
Only at this time did she truly confirm that the old emperor really liked her and was actually worried about her.
He might prefer her looks, or maybe there's something else.
But Xu Lingyi didn't care, she just wanted to confirm this.
"What specific aspects?" asked the emperor.
"I have no appetite lately," Xu Lingyi said.
The imperial physician who was kneeling not far away also pricked up his ears and listened.
"It's strange. Although I don't feel like eating most of the time, I feel really hungry sometimes. I've also been falling asleep a lot lately. I always feel very tired and have no energy."
The imperial physician was surprised when he heard this.
Could it be that Concubine De was really pregnant? Perhaps he was not old and confused and misdiagnosed her pulse.
"Perhaps my beloved concubine has not had enough rest recently." The emperor comforted her.
Xu Lingyi said in a muffled voice: "I don't know either, but I don't want to leave Your Majesty. If I am gone, will Your Majesty still remember me?"
There was a sob in Xu Lingyi's voice. The emperor looked down at her. Her eyes were red at the moment, making her look particularly adorable.
Xu's kindness makes the imperial concubine seem even more vicious.
The emperor had some guesses about what happened today, but he had no evidence. However, he intuitively felt that it was the imperial concubine herself who did evil this time, but he was not capable enough to harm anyone.
The person she wanted to harm was most likely Xu Lingyi.
Princess Minghua should have also been involved in the evil deeds.
"My beloved concubine will be fine. Even if there is, I will make sure the Imperial Hospital cure you."
Xu Lingyi shook her head, "If something really happened to me, would Your Majesty care about me?"
The emperor nodded, "Of course, I like you very much."
The emperor had never said the word "love" to any of his concubines, Xu Lingyi was the first.
"If I did something wrong, would Your Majesty dislike me?"
Xu Lingyi knew that the emperor could not be concealed from her counterattack against the imperial concubine. Any action would leave traces. Moreover, replacing the imperial concubine's wine was not an easy task and it would be difficult to completely erase it.
The emperor's men will find Steward Xu sooner or later, and it is easy to know the relationship between Steward Xu and the Xu family.
The emperor nodded and said, "As long as it's not a serious mistake, I can forgive you. You are so much younger than me, it's normal for you to make mistakes."
When the emperor likes someone, he will be particularly tolerant and preferential to her, and will also be very partial to her.
Xu Lingyi knew exactly this.
Xu Lingyi's eyes were red, and she confessed to the emperor with tears in her eyes: "The Imperial Concubine originally wanted to poison me. Today, the medicine was originally intended for me, but I used the trick and returned it. At first, I didn't know what the medicine was. I only knew that Qiushi, who was beside me, had betrayed me. Later, I also wanted to see who this person was, but I didn't expect it to be the Imperial Concubine."
Xu Lingyi sobbed and her body trembled.
"The Imperial Concubine is powerful, in charge of palace affairs, and she's the princess's biological mother, so I didn't dare tell Your Majesty. I was also afraid that if I didn't fight back, there would be a second and third time... I didn't want to live in fear forever. Now that I've fought back, I regret it. This is the first time I've done something like this."
Xu Lingyi burst into tears after she finished speaking: "I was wrong, Your Majesty, please don't dislike me."
The look she gave him at this moment was full of anxiety and fear, like a kitten afraid of being abandoned by its owner, pitiful and cute.
The emperor loves and cares for her so much that he cannot wait to despise her.
"Don't be afraid. I won't despise you. My beloved concubine did the right thing. It was the noble concubine who had such a vicious mind. Since she had such a vicious mind, she should be prepared for revenge."
"She used to be domineering in the palace and killed many concubines. If my beloved concubine doesn't take action this time, she will only become more aggressive next time. I am very relieved that you can protect yourself. This way, I don't have to worry about you when I am not in the harem."
Xu Lingyi raised her head in disbelief. She was still sobbing, and her crystal clear tears fell on her fair little face.
"Your Majesty, you...you don't blame me?"
The emperor nodded and said, "I would like to praise you. You have done a great job."
Xu Lingyi was stunned, then she came to her senses and threw herself into the emperor's arms and burst into tears.
"Why are you still crying? Don't be afraid, I won't hate you, my beloved."
"Your Majesty is so kind to me." Xu Lingyi sniffed, her voice thick with nasal sounds: "I have been afraid today, afraid that Your Majesty will never pay attention to me again. This is more painful than killing me."
"After this uneasy experience, I promise Your Majesty that I will never do such a thing again. I will not take the initiative to harm others, Your Majesty."
The emperor felt pity and love for her. He couldn't help but sigh that she was just a little girl with a kind heart, but she was so nervous when she fought back.
"I trust you." The emperor reached out and wiped the tears from her face. "This incident is not your fault. Don't take it to heart. I am very happy that you can tell me and trust me. In the future, if my beloved concubine finds that someone wants to harm you, you can tell me immediately and I will protect you. Even if that person is the imperial concubine or the princess's biological mother, I will stand by you."
Xu Lingyi nodded heavily, pretending to be so moved that she couldn't speak, as if she would be willing to give her heart to this man at this moment.
Xu Lingyi felt that her acting skills had reached perfection after entering the palace. She was facing the emperor all the time and acting all the time.
Perhaps at this moment in the emperor's mind, he has completely won her heart.
"Thank... Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Lingyi cried, tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty is so kind to me."
The emperor was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
At this time, the imperial physician also arrived.
"Come forward quickly and check Concubine De's pulse to see what's going on."
