Chapter 40 The Emperor got angry
Xiao Yu was furious. Before he could vent the anger in his chest, he felt a tearing pain in his head, accompanied by waves of dizziness.
He fell back in pain, pressing his hands hard against his brows.
Damn it, my headache came back because I was so angry at Liu Zhiyuan.
Liu Dehai saw that the situation was not good and quickly got up. "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Is your headache coming on?"
This time the headache was more severe than ever before. Xiao Yu's face was pale but his eyes were red. It took him a long time to speak.
"Call the imperial physician and prepare the medicine."
Liu Dehai was extremely anxious and quickly sent someone to the Imperial Hospital.
"How could he suddenly become ill again? The Emperor hasn't been ill for more than half a month."
Xiao Yu was stunned, and then he remembered that he seemed to have not been sick for a long time.
His headache became more and more serious, occurring almost every two or three days. However, during the more than one month since he left Beijing, except for the attack during the assassination attempt, he had no other attacks.
how so.
If there is any difference between this month and the past, it is that Liu Zhiyuan is by my side. Could it be... related to Liu Zhiyuan?
That woman also has the magic to heal diseases?
The medicine was quickly boiled and served.
Xiao Yu was already exhausted physically and mentally from the torture. He picked up the medicine bowl and was about to drink it, but put it down with lingering fear.
"Send someone to see what Liu Zhiyuan is doing."
Liu Dehai was confused. Wasn’t the emperor angry with Concubine Liu just now? Why did he suddenly become fine?
Although he was puzzled, he did not ask any further questions. After all, the emperor's mood swings had been going on for a long time.
"Your Majesty, the medicine is cold. Would you like to drink it first?"
Liu Dehai reminded.
Xiao Yu said nothing. Why drink it? Who knew what Liu Zhiyuan was doing at the moment? What if he drank it and she cast a spell again? Wouldn't it be a waste of drink?
Thinking of his previous experience of taking medicine, Xiao Yu shuddered.
Liu Zhiyuan is also very powerful. Xiao Yu has always done what he wants and has never been afraid of anything since he was a child. Even in a dead end situation where the Chen family controls the overall situation, he dares to risk his life to fight for the throne.
However, he, who had never been afraid of anything, was frightened by Liu Zhiyuan.
Even taking medicine casts a shadow.
What a scary woman!
The eunuch sent to the cold palace to investigate the situation hurried back, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu has gone to bed."
Xiao Yu's face turned ashen.
Very good, he destroyed the results of his day and night's work, and he still had the nerve to sleep soundly. This is something a human being can do!
His expression was so ugly that everyone in the imperial study was trembling with fear, as if their lives had become increasingly difficult since the last time Concubine Liu came to cause a big fuss with the emperor.
I don’t know what’s going on.
Xiao Yu picked up the medicine bowl with a cold face and drank it all in one gulp.
Looking at it from another perspective, it was a good thing that Liu Zhiyuan fell asleep, at least he could drink the medicine smoothly.
Damn it, the king of a country is so frustrated!
After drinking the medicine, the splitting headache was slowly suppressed. Xiao Yu turned around and saw the pile of memorials, and his head started to hurt again.
Even cows and horses are not that miserable!
While Liu Zhiyuan was asleep and wouldn't cause any trouble, Xiao Yu quickly dealt with the memorials.
Everything was calm on Liu Zhiyuan's side. He woke up, ate, and then went back to sleep. He spent the whole day and night sleeping. Except for last night when he was woken up by the wind outside, everything went smoothly.
Feeling refreshed after a good sleep, she climbed out of bed, stretched, and her stomach growled.
I'm hungry.
There were noisy footsteps outside, and Liu Zhiyuan smiled knowingly. It must be the palace maid bringing food, and the timing was just right.
But why do the footsteps sound a bit messy today?
It seemed to be accompanied by noisy voices.
Before she could figure out what was going on, the door of the room was kicked open with great force. Two palace maids kicked the door aggressively and then retreated respectfully to the sides. A woman with a noble temperament walked in.
She was dressed in a blue brocade dress with faint cloud patterns on the fabric. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with exquisite patterns in gold and silver threads, just like a blooming peony, vivid and lifelike.
The golden hairpins tied up her hair made her exquisite and beautiful face even more eye-catching.
What a beautiful lady with outstanding temperament, but the cold anger in her eyes completely destroyed her beauty, making her look a bit sinister.
Liu Zhiyuan frowned. Who is this person? He has never seen him before and doesn't know him.
"Who are you?"
The maid who had just kicked the door glared and shouted, "How dare you! Why don't you quickly bow to Concubine Rong when you see her?"
Liu Zhiyuan recalled and remembered who this Concubine Rong was.
Chen Rong, the cousin of Concubine Chen, was noticed by Prime Minister Chen because of her stunning beauty and was arranged to enter the palace as a concubine. She was Concubine Chen's right-hand man.
The two sisters, Concubine Rong and Concubine Chen, have the support of the Empress Dowager, so they have absolute power in the harem. It can be said that they have the final say in the harem now, and everyone has to act according to the sisters' wishes.
To be precise, it depends on Concubine Chen's expression. After all, Concubine Rong obeys Concubine Chen's words.
Liu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. This Concubine Rong came with bad intentions.
She rolled her eyes, "Come to pay respect? We're both concubines, who's more noble than the other? Why should I pay respect to her?"
Why doesn’t Concubine Rong bow to her?
The head maid Chun'er was furious. "Our queen is the legitimate daughter of Minister Chen, of noble status. How can you, a concubine banished to the cold palace, compare to her?"
Liu Zhiyuan was speechless. Which bastard wrote this novel? Doesn't he have any common sense? Isn't this just forcibly lowering the IQ of the supporting characters?
No matter how much she had fallen out of favor, she was still a concubine in the harem. How could a mere palace maid dare to shout in front of her?
Moreover, she accompanied the emperor to Yuzhou to pray for rain and succeeded. Didn't this matter spread to the harem? With such a great contribution, no one should dare to offend her openly even if she was an abandoned concubine in the cold palace.
Unless these people are fearless and think that she is about to be finished and there is nothing to be afraid of.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhiyuan was shocked.
Liu Zhiyuan's expression turned cold. "What on earth do you intend to do by trespassing into my palace?"
"Pfft." Chun'er sneered, her face full of disdain. "Palace? Your Majesty, are you referring to the cold palace? How can such a shabby place like the cold palace be called a palace?"
"If you have to fart, do it now."
Chun'er didn't expect Liu Zhiyuan to speak so boldly, and she choked for a moment, "As expected, she is a daughter raised in a poor family, so vulgar and rude."
"Small family? Are you scolding your master? If I remember correctly, Concubine Rong's father was the Minister of Justice, and my father was the Minister of Personnel. We both have six ministers. If I am from a small family, how noble can Concubine Rong be?"
Chun'er's face changed, and she looked at Rong Fei in panic, "Your Majesty, I..."
Rong Fei glanced at Chun'er coldly, and her face turned pale, and she dared not breathe.
Concubine Rong raised her hand and gently brushed the tassels on her temples.
"Sister Liu Fei is very eloquent, no wonder the Emperor favors her."
