Nangong Yi's expression also paused, and then he asked angrily: "Where is Concubine Shu?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is kneeling outside." said the eunuch Su Ming.
Nangong Yi nodded and comforted Lan Shuang, "Let the imperial physician take your pulse first. I'll make the decision for you later. I won't let you down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lan Shuang smiled gratefully and slowly lowered her eyes.
Nangong Yi's heart moved slightly, and he stood up to make way.
The imperial physicians took turns feeling Lan Shuang's pulse and asking a few more questions. After confirming that she was alright, they said to Nangong Yi, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine was frightened after falling into the water, and her heart disease caused her to faint. I'll prescribe a tranquilizer for her to drink, and she'll be alright. However, you should be more careful during this period."
Lan Shuang struggled to sit up, and Zhishu quickly supported her and put a cushion behind her. "What are you doing getting up, Madam?"
"My bones hurt from lying down all the time." Lan Shuang sat up and coughed twice. Nangong Yi looked at her skinny appearance and couldn't help frowning.
Lan Shuang looked at his expression, knowing what he was thinking, and deliberately said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. My heart disease is congenital and cannot be cured. As long as you pay more attention to it, it will be fine."
"How can it be okay?" Nangong Yi sighed, "Seeing you like this, my heart aches."
Imperial doctors: “…”
They all lowered their heads and pretended to be deaf, and Lan Shuang was so disgusted that she almost vomited.
Heartbroken? You must be really happy inside, right?
"Go down and boil the medicine."
Nangong Yi waved his hand and the imperial doctors quickly withdrew.
"Bring the concubine up here."
Nangong Yi sat down beside the bed, his face suddenly gloomy.
The palace maids went to call for help tremblingly.
The originally glamorous and beautiful Concubine Shu now had her hairpins and jewelry in disarray and her clothes wrinkled in many places, looking extremely disheveled.
She glanced at Lan Shuang, hatred surged in her heart, and her eyes immediately turned red.
Lan Shuang was helpless, you hate the wrong person, sister.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to push the Imperial Concubine. I'm afraid there must be some misunderstanding."
She was smart and didn't say directly that it was the imperial concubine who pushed her.
However, Nangong Yi's expression didn't improve at all because of her words. Instead, it revealed a hint of disappointment and disgust. "After all this, you're still stubborn? At that time, it was only you and the imperial concubine by the lake. If you didn't push her, could it be that the imperial concubine jumped in by herself?"
"You said misunderstanding? What do you mean? Are you trying to say that the imperial concubine is harming you?"
Concubine Shu was speechless when asked, she lowered her head and rolled her eyes.
"Your Majesty, do you no longer trust me? I have no grudge against the Imperial Concubine, so why are you pushing her?"
"Good question, I want to know too."
Nangong Yi turned to look at Lan Shuang, "Noble Concubine, go ahead."
His eyes said clearly: Don't worry, I support you.
Lan Shuang was silent for a moment and looked at Concubine Shu, who was still glaring at her like a fighting cock.
In fact, it was indeed Concubine Shu who pushed her, but it was also the original owner who provoked her. To be honest, no one is innocent.
However, now is not the time to pursue this. Concubine Shu is stubborn and is the easiest to instigate and bribe.
Lan Shuang's mind raced. She shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with my sister."
"Huh? What did you say?" Nangong Yi was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "She treated you like this, and you still want to make excuses for her?"
Haha, you want to use me to deal with Concubine Shu’s family and let me be the bad guy? You’re dreaming.
Lan Shuang held Nangong Yi's hand and said sincerely, "We were standing relatively close to the lake at the time. I wasn't paying attention while I was talking, and my foot slipped and I accidentally fell. It wasn't my sister Shufei who did it. Your Majesty, please don't wrongly accuse her."
Concubine Shu was stunned. She stared at Lan Shuang with wide eyes in disbelief, her face full of expression: Did you take the wrong medicine?
Lan Shuang: “…”
She glared back at him inconspicuously. "I'm giving you a way out, but you're not taking it now. Do you really want to die?"
Seeing Nangong Yi about to look over, Concubine Shu finally came online. She quickly said, "Yes, my concubine and I were originally enjoying the scenery by the lake, but there were many rocks by the lake, and my concubine fell in without paying attention. I was also scared -"
She held the handkerchief and started crying, so sad.
Nangong Yi was the most annoying person to cry, and he suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Since both of them said so, he couldn't keep harping on it.
"Okay, stop crying, the concubine is not dead yet."
Nangong Yi gave a low scolding and said to the maid beside Concubine Shu: "Help your master up."
"yes."
The palace maid hurriedly helped Concubine Shu to get up. Concubine Shu was sobbing. This time she was not pretending, it was real. She was really scared.
Lan Shuang: “…”
You are the one who is going to die, and your whole family is going to die!
The atmosphere in the palace was a little awkward. Lan Shuang looked at Nangong Yi's expression, reached out and tugged at his sleeve. When Nangong Yi looked over, she gave him a weak smile, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Blame me if you want to blame someone. I went to the lake knowing that I was not feeling well."
The original owner had a pitiful face. When she was healthy, she was cool and beautiful. But once she became sick, she looked a little weak and broken, which made her beauty even more heartbreaking.
At this moment, she looked up at Nangong Yi like this, relying on and trying to please him with all her heart, which greatly satisfied Nangong Yi's chauvinistic side.
His expression brightened slightly, and he patted Lan Shuang's hand, his emotion becoming more sincere. "Don't talk nonsense. How could I bear to blame you?"
"Your Majesty, the medicine is here."
When the palace maid brought in the medicine, Concubine Shu was surprised, "It's ready so quickly?"
