Chapter 188 The murderous tyrant x the disfavored noble concubine in the cold palace 4
The queen had finished washing up and was sitting in front of a bronze mirror combing her hair. When she saw Nanny Fang come in, she asked calmly, "Have you sent someone to do it?"
Nanny Fang took the comb from the Empress's hand and said as she combed her hair, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already sent someone. Even if the Emperor investigates, he will not find out that it was Your Majesty who sent someone to tell the Empress Dowager."
The Queen then curled her lips and said, "I thought the Imperial Concubine would be a fierce enemy of mine, but I didn't expect it to end before I even slept with her. God is really helping me."
"Is the medicine ready?"
Nanny Fang nodded and said, "It's ready. Your Majesty, would you like to drink it now?"
"Bring it here, the Emperor should be here soon."
The emperor arrived half an hour later, with only Li Fuzhong behind him.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Your Majesty, you are finally here. I thought you were going to deal with government affairs today and would not come."
The emperor waved his hand to signal the empress to stand up, and sat on the chair playing with the jade ring on his thumb.
"Empress, since I ascended the throne, only one new person, the Imperial Concubine, has entered the harem. I have no children yet, and the ministers are urging us to arrange a beauty pageant later."
When the queen heard the emperor say this, she was very unhappy, but she could not show her dissatisfaction in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I am the Empress and will definitely make arrangements. It's just..."
The Emperor glanced at the Empress impatiently and asked, "Just what?"
The Queen smiled and said, "But I am the Emperor's legitimate wife after all. Would the Emperor let me give birth to a legitimate son first?"
The emperor felt a little disappointed when he saw the empress's dull face, but he also felt that what she said made some sense. He really needed a legitimate son now.
"Place it"
The candles went out, and Li Fuzhong outside the door stretched out his hands and bowed to the sky. "Oh, the emperor has been on the throne for three months, and today he finally stays in the harem."
Before Li Fuzhong finished his worship, the emperor's angry voice came from the room, "Someone come!"
Li Fuzhong was startled and quickly pushed the door open to light the candles. "Your Majesty, what happened?"
The emperor sat on the bed with sweat all over his head, and the queen also sat up and stared at the emperor blankly.
"Drive back to Qianlong Palace"
The emperor walked very fast, and Li Fuzhong had to jog to catch up with him. "Your Majesty, why are you leaving like this? Even if you and the Empress had a quarrel, you can't just walk away."
The emperor stopped, glared at Li Fuzhong and said, "Go and call the imperial physician immediately, and don't let anyone else know."
The Emperor got up and left, but there was chaos at the Empress' place. The porcelain fragments scattered all over the floor showed that the Empress, who always prided herself on being dignified, was really angry.
"Mammy, do you think the emperor really hates me so much? He doesn't even want to have sex with me."
Nanny Fang comforted the empress with concern and said, "Your Majesty, what is going on? Hasn't everything been settled? Please tell me and I will think of a solution for you."
The Queen leaned on Nanny Fang's shoulder and said dejectedly, "You know, it's already the last step, but the Emperor doesn't have any feelings for me at all. Is it because I'm old and the Emperor is not interested in me anymore?"
Nanny Fang sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you are not old. You are only in your twenties. How come you are old? Maybe it's because the emperor has just ascended the throne and is busy with government affairs, so he is not in the mood."
The imperial physician arrived very quickly, dragged here by Li Fuzhong in the dark. Because the emperor had ordered that they should act in secret, Li Fuzhong could only go to the imperial hospital by himself, and he didn't even dare to light the lantern.
The person who came to examine the emperor was the head of the Imperial Medical Hospital. He hadn't even caught his breath when he arrived at the Qianlong Palace and was urged to leave by the emperor.
"Don't bow yet, come and see if there is something wrong with me."
The imperial physician saw that the emperor did not look sick, so he put his hand on the emperor's wrist and began to feel his pulse. However, the imperial physician switched hands several times but could not find any problem.
"Your Majesty, you are in good health and there is nothing wrong with you."
The emperor frowned and asked in confusion, "No problem?"
"I ask you, if there is no problem, why can't I have sex with you?"
"This..." The imperial physician was in a dilemma. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask, how can you not have sex?"
The emperor was anxious, so he spoke out without hiding anything.
The imperial physician asked in a puzzled tone, "Your Majesty, perhaps you are too tired recently? Try to relax and not work so hard. See if it will get better after a while."
The emperor waved his hands irritably and said, "Don't tell anyone about this, or you know the consequences."
The doctor was terrified, knowing the seriousness of the matter, and kowtowed, saying, "I will keep my mouth shut and will not reveal a single word."
The entire harem was secretly laughing at the Empress because the Emperor left halfway through her sleeping arrangement. Although they didn't dare to show it on the surface, they were secretly gloating over the misfortune.
Especially Concubine Xian, she was the highest-ranking concubine who had served the Empress except for the Empress, so she was a little more relaxed when paying her respects to the Empress.
"Empress, you said that the Emperor finally entered the harem, how come you made him angry and leave? What a pity!"
The empress felt so wronged. Was it because she was angry? The emperor no longer had feelings for her, but of course the empress couldn't say such words. It would be better to let others think that she had angered the emperor.
"Alright, I know all the little thoughts in your mind. Even if the emperor is angry with me and leaves, it is not your turn to talk about it here."
Concubine Xian curled her lips, feeling a little regretful that the Emperor did not go to her palace. She would definitely not make the Emperor angry.
Since the Queen had angered the Emperor, Concubine Xian felt that she could seize the opportunity and bear a prince, which would then make her position in the palace more secure.
After leaving the Empress' Qiyuan Palace, Concubine Xian swayed her waist and said confidently, "Mammy, let's go to Yu's study. It's time for this sweetheart to take action."
When Concubine Xian came to Yu's study, she found nothing. She grabbed a young eunuch and asked, "Where is the emperor? Didn't he finish his morning court?"
When the eunuch saw that it was Concubine Xian, he immediately bowed and said, "Your servant greets Concubine Xian. The Emperor has returned to Qianlong Palace to rest after the morning court session today."
Concubine Xian frowned in confusion, wondering what the Empress had done to make the Emperor so angry that he even stopped handling government affairs.
Nanny Li was also puzzled, "My queen, the queen is not such a foolish person."
Concubine Xian waved her hand and said, "Forget it. It's useless to think so much. Let's go to Qianlong Palace and take a look."
The emperor had just taken the tranquilizer prescribed by the imperial physician and was lying on the bed to rest when he suddenly heard a series of light footsteps and the emperor, who was still awake, opened his eyes.
"Why are you here?"
Concubine Xian frowned with worry, "Your Majesty, are you sick? The Empress is really something, why would she be so angry with you?"
The emperor was clear in his mind and knew that the whole palace had misunderstood, but he could not speak up to explain for the empress, so he could only let everyone continue to think so.
If others knew that he was no longer capable, his reign would be over.
"I'm fine, just take a rest"
