When Jiang Ranli received the news, he did not react at all, but just stared at the newly delivered mangoes in a daze.
The palace maid serving her saw this and asked in confusion, "Miss, last year the Emperor made a lot of mangoes for you, but I didn't see you eat any. Why do you still like this this year?"
Hearing the palace maid's words, Jiang Ranli smiled bitterly. In the blink of an eye, it was the second year since he saw mangoes again.
"It smells very sweet, I like it very much," Jiang Ranli explained to the palace maid.
The palace maid nodded in sudden realization. Just as Jiang Ranli said, the smell of mango was indeed very pleasant.
"Miss, please try on the dress for the ceremony. The emperor loves you the most and uses the best materials and embroiderers. You will look very beautiful in it," said the palace maid as she brought over a brand new gorgeous dress.
Jiang Ranli didn't even look at it and just said, "No need, just leave it there."
Seeing that she had no interest, the palace maid couldn't help but feel even more puzzled and said, "Miss, I see that the emperor loves you very much. Looking around the harem, no one can compare to you. Why do you treat the emperor so..."
The maid didn't dare to say the next words. Although she knew that Jiang Ranli had never punished servants, if those words were heard by others, the emperor would definitely not forgive her. But she was still very confused. She stared at Jiang Ranli blankly, waiting to be cleared up.
Jiang Ranli didn't say anything this time. No one could empathize with her unless they had experienced it personally. So, if she told everything, the palace maids might think she was ungrateful. Besides, she didn't want to say anything. In this palace, the less you know, the safer you are.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the whole palace was filled with joy, and the palace servants were all smiling happily, because their usually cold emperor was in a very good mood these days, so they naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Yinzhen sat on the dragon throne with a smile on his face. He looked outside the palace, imagining what it would be like when Jiang Ranli appeared. However, no matter how long he waited, there was no sign of Jiang Ranli.
At this time, Su Peisheng, who was sent to check the situation, came back, but his face was full of anxiety.
"What's going on?" Yinzhen had a bad feeling in his heart and asked sternly.
"In reply to the emperor, Miss Jiang is sick," Su Peisheng whispered into Yinzhen's ear.
Upon hearing that Jiang Ranli was ill, Yinzhen hurriedly stood up and walked out, leaving everyone in the hall looking at each other in bewilderment.
On the way back to the Yangxin Palace, Yinzhen imagined countless of Jiang Ranli's illnesses. He felt that she should be fine. After all, she was fine when he saw her in the morning. How could she be in trouble in such a short time? However, he was still very worried.
"What's going on?"
Yinzhen looked at Jiang Ranli, whose face was pale and whose body was covered with red and swollen patches, lying on the bed, and angrily scolded everyone in the hall.
The imperial physician had never seen Yinzhen in such an expression, and he immediately knelt on the ground in fear and said, "Your Majesty, according to my diagnosis, Your Majesty is suffering from food poisoning."
Everyone in the palace knew that the ceremony of conferring the title of consort on Jiang Ranli was to confer the title of consort on her, so they simply addressed her as "Empress".
"Since you know the symptoms, why don't you take medicine immediately? What are you standing here for?" When Yinzhen learned that it was food poisoning, he became even more anxious.
The imperial physician kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I am stupid. The Empress refused to tell me what she took today. Therefore, I really don't know how to use the medicine."
Hearing this, Yinzhen lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Ranli, who had his eyes closed and lay there quietly, looking lifeless.
"What did she eat today?" Yinzhen turned around and asked the palace maid serving Jiang Ranli.
