My Lady is well

Chapter 159: Love

Concubine Wen Shu walked in gracefully, bowed slightly, and spoke in a soft and gentle voice.

"I, my concubine, pay my respects to the Emperor."

"It's so late, why is Concubine Shu still here?"

The emperor's tone carried a hint of ambiguous emotion.

"I saw that the emperor drank a lot of wine today. I was worried that the emperor was not feeling well, so I specially prepared a wine soup." Concubine Wen Shu replied softly.

The emperor frowned slightly, raised his sleeves and put his hands behind his back. His palms were sweating. He glanced at her indifferently with icy eyes.

"Shufei is so considerate. I was just drunk and you sent me some hangover soup. But, Shufei, do you know what was wrong with the wine I just drank?"

Concubine Wen Shu frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes moved, she looked at him in surprise, and shook her head gently.

"Inappropriate? I don't know."

The emperor snorted coldly and said sternly.

"Luo Zhong, go call the imperial physician!"

Luo Zhong hurriedly ran out and asked Doctor Lu who was accompanying the army to come over.

After Imperial Physician Lu took the emperor's pulse, he looked normal and answered with a bow.

"Your Majesty, your blood is churning. It must be because you drank strong liquor."

Jing Ruzhang has always thought that he can drink quite a bit, so how could he be so drunk with ordinary liquor?

He just didn't believe that there was really nothing wrong with the wine!

There was a hint of anger in his eyes, and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound, as if they could explode at any time, and he gave the order.

"Go, bring the wine immediately!"

When Doctor Lu saw beads of sweat rolling down the emperor's forehead, he thought to himself that the emperor's perseverance was truly admirable. Faced with such a strong aphrodisiac wine and with the beautiful concubine present, he was able to endure it until this point.

If I continue to endure this, I'm afraid it will cause harm to the dragon's body.

Seeing that the emperor was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Doctor Lu had no choice but to take out the silver needles and quickly pricked several key acupuncture points on the emperor's body to only provide temporary relief.

Actually, there is another way to solve it, but... no one dares...

Luo Zhong quickly fetched the wine and handed it respectfully to Doctor Lu.

After taking the wine glass, Doctor Lu sniffed it carefully and frowned slightly.

Jing Ruzhang noticed his change in expression and subconsciously glanced at Concubine Shu. She lowered her eyes, as if trying to hide the emotions in her eyes, but her hands stiffened involuntarily.

Doctor Lu took a sip of wine and nodded slightly, having already made a clear judgment in his mind.

"Your Majesty, this wine is mixed with deer blood."

Jing Ruzhang snorted coldly. As expected, something had happened. There seemed to be a storm brewing in his eyes. He said in a deep voice.

"Deer blood should have a very strong fishy smell, why didn't I notice it?"

Doctor Lu nodded in response.

"This wine is mixed with several other medicinal herbs and spices. These things cover up the original fishy smell of deer blood, so it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it."

Jing Ruzhang suddenly realized why Shen Yueyao reacted so strongly when she approached him. She was pregnant and her sense of smell was more acute than that of an ordinary person.

He already knew the answer in his mind as to who had done this, but he did not point it out.

I saw that his eyes were cold and his tone was stiff.

"I understand. You all may leave. Concubine Shu will stay."

Doctor Lu understood what was going on, but finally he couldn't help it.

Jing Ruzhang stared at Concubine Shu, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

Concubine Shu lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye. She was nervous, her hands trembling slightly, and she bit her lower lip lightly with her pearly teeth. There was no evidence, and as long as she denied it, the emperor would not easily touch her.

What's more, his current body...

His voice was as cold as a blade, as if it could cut through the air.

"Dancing, deer blood wine, hangover soup, Concubine Shu's thoughts are really as meticulous as silk."

Shu Fei's eyes trembled slightly, her eyelashes blinked lightly, and tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string. She shook her head.

"Your Majesty, it's not me..."

The emperor interrupted coldly:

"Whether it is or not, you know it, and I know it too."

He looked at her with hawk-like eyes, raised his hand and gently touched the white magnolia hairpin on her head with his fingertips.

"You have always been sensible. I don't intend to pursue this matter. There won't be a next time. You know what I like about you, so don't do anything unnecessary."

He said this neither lightly nor heavily, but the look in his eyes was as cold as ten thousand years of ice, which made people shudder.

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the tent.

Concubine Wen Shu's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked back at his departing figure infatuatedly.

He likes her? She laughed at herself. When had he ever liked her?

She was conceited about her beauty and talent, and thought that men all liked gentle and virtuous women, and that if she had some interests, she could be easily controlled.

As it happens, she has all of these.

He was indeed somewhat interested in her at first, after all, they had a child together.

When did she suddenly no longer have a place in his heart?

The smile on her lips gradually became bitter, like petals withering in the wind, weak and sad.

Shen Yueyao? Is it because she is pregnant with his child?

Would they be the same without that child?

As she thought about it, a hint of resentment gradually rose in her eyes. Suddenly she remembered what he had just said and forced a smile again.

He liked her, yes, he had liked her.

So, it should be the same.

How will you know if you don’t try?

......

Jing Ruzhang walked out of the tent, and Luo Zhong bowed and said hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Chen was here just now."

He frowned slightly, glanced at Luo Zhong, and said in a calm voice.

"Did she say anything?"

"Empress Chen... is also here to deliver the hangover soup."

He was slightly startled, then smiled faintly, and he was not completely heartless.

"Why didn't you go in and report?"

"I didn't have time to prepare it. When she heard that the Concubine Shu was inside, she said that it was not necessary and there was no need to tell you that she had been there. The hangover soup..."

Jing Ruzhang was displeased when he saw him hesitating. A hint of annoyance crept up on his brows, and his voice was filled with anger.

"What's wrong with the hangover soup?"

"The Concubine drank it herself."

"..."
