From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

Although Emperor Zhou had just vomited out the water, he did not wake up.

On the contrary, he was in a daze with a fever, mumbling something incoherently, and sweating on his head.

It looks like there are other symptoms besides drowning.

Imperial Doctor Liu was leaning over the bed, feeling the Emperor's pulse. He was already so nervous that it was hard for him to tell what was going on. Li Bo was so anxious that he was pacing back and forth, weighing his hands.

This made it even more difficult for him to come up with anything.

Li Bo knew that this trip would not be good when Emperor Zhou fell ill in the desert. It was a pity that Emperor Zhou insisted on coming. Now he was afraid that he would lose his life here.

"What's the matter? Why do you have a fever?" Li Bo waited for a long time, and seeing that Doctor Liu didn't say anything, he couldn't help but ask.

Doctor Liu frowned and said, "It should be poisoned, but I don't know what the poison is. I have never seen it before."

"What should I do?" Li Bo became even more anxious.

Just when he was at a loss of what to do, a voice came from the door: "It should be a hallucinogenic poison. Don't be afraid, it's not fatal!"

This sentence directly pulled Li Bo back from the edge of fear. He looked back and saw that it was Tang Wanru and Old Qiao who walked in together.

Following behind him was a doctor from Daliang brought by Mr. Qiao.

Just now in the yard, Tang Wanru saw Emperor Zhou fall into the water and faint, and immediately called for help. Li Bo and others went into the water to save people. After she saw Emperor Zhou was rescued, she asked Old Qiao to study the mist, and now there is a result.

After Tang Wanru finished speaking, she arranged for the doctor from Daliang to replace Imperial Physician Liu to diagnose Emperor Zhou.

This hallucinogenic poison comes from the Wu Sect, and most of its ingredients are plants that grow on the Yunwu Mountain, so it would be better to let the doctor from Daliang take a look.

At the same time, Mr. Qiao also replaced Li Bo and went to the front to see Emperor Zhou together with the doctor.

Now that the cause of the disease has been found, everything is going in a good direction.

Li Bo felt relieved.

And all this was brought to him by Tang Wanru.

At this time, Li Bo looked at Tang Wanru again, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

You know, Emperor Zhou used her as bait when Qi Neng came to propose marriage.

However, even so, Tang Wanru saved him despite the past grudges.

Li Bo felt a little embarrassed.

"Imperial Concubine!" He paused, not knowing if it was appropriate to call her that now. He heard that Bai Yanli had already moved in with Queen Ning. According to the rules of Daliang, she was already a prince's consort. After how Emperor Zhou treated Bai Yanli before, he didn't know if he was willing to be the seventh prince anymore.

In short, Li Bo himself felt that this matter was very shameful.

However, what needed to be said still needed to be said, so Li Bo motioned Tang Wanru to come behind the screen and said, "Imperial Concubine, I am really sorry for what happened before. Please don't blame the emperor."

"He wanted to see Queen Ning so much that he resorted to this desperate measure."

After hearing this, Tang Wanru couldn't figure out what he was talking about for a moment. After thinking for a while, she realized that Emperor Zhou agreed to Qi Neng's proposal of marriage.

Speaking of which, this matter is actually a game between Emperor Zhou and Bai Yanli.

It has little to do with her.

Later, when they left Qi's house and moved to the imperial palace, it was Bai Yanli who took her there. She didn't care.

So she didn't take this matter to heart at all, and there was really no need for Li Bo to apologize to her.

So she waved her hands and said, "It doesn't matter. Isn't Qi Neng dead? I'm not married either, so you don't need to apologize to me. If you want to apologize, you should apologize to Bai Yanli!"

"Besides, it's not you who should apologize. That was done by the emperor. He should apologize to Bai Yanli in person."

Li Bo: …

She was so clear-headed that he had no room to refute what she said. He could only nod and say, "The Seventh Imperial Concubine is right."

Speaking of Emperor Zhou, Tang Wanru happened to have something to tell Li Bo. She said, "Eunuch Li, you should know that I didn't come here on purpose for anyone. I came here to check for poison."

He just heard from Mr. Qiao that she came here with the poison.

"Yes, I know that."

"Eunuch Li, I must remind you of one thing. I just said that the emperor was poisoned by a hallucinogenic poison, and this poison will not easily take effect unless a certain person..."

Tang Wanru said seriously, "That's the person with the inner demon!"

"Inner demon?" Li Bo murmured.

"Such a person is fragile and can be easily invaded by poison." Tang Wanru said, "If I am not mistaken, the emperor must have seen his inner demons under the influence of the drug just now, which led to him being led into the lake."

Yes, Emperor Zhou’s fall into the lake was indeed very strange.

There was no fight in the backyard, it seemed like he fell into the lake on his own.

But what inner demons does the emperor have?

Seeing Li Bo confused and trying hard to think, Tang Wanru couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that Eunuch Li was really frightened tonight.

Normally he would have thought of something like this a long time ago.

So Tang Wanru reminded him, "Eunuch, when I went in just now, I heard the emperor shouting something. Did you hear it?"

is it?

Li Bo tried desperately to recall.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, "A Zhuo!" He was calling out Queen Ning's name!

God!

It turns out that the emperor’s inner demon is Queen Ning!

He had not expected this. He had always thought that the Emperor only had hatred for Queen Ning!

Is there still love?

Thinking of this, Li Bo couldn't help but look over the screen at the emperor on the bed.

He frowned slightly, thinking that the emperor had pain in his heart that he could not understand.

After listening to Tang Wanru's words, Li Bo made up his mind. It seemed that in order to get rid of the inner demon of Emperor Zhou, he had to arrange a meeting between Ning Zhuo and Emperor Zhou as soon as possible.

Three days later, the Queen held a banquet in the palace in Daliang to celebrate the recovery of Bai Yanli and to introduce Bai Yanli to the ministers.

Because it was not a formal banquet and it was held in the palace in Liangdu.

Therefore, officials were allowed to bring their families with them.

Because the empress herself was a woman, after she came to power, she greatly improved the status of women in Daliang. These ladies have participated in banquets of this level many times.

So, when everyone arrived at the gate of the palace, they were all dressed appropriately and had outstanding temperament. They greeted other ladies and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Instead, the officials seemed a little restrained.

Before it got dark, many carriages had already stopped at the gate of the palace. At this time, the carriage from the general's mansion also arrived. Xu Wang got off the carriage first, and then Madam Xu stuck her head out.

She looked up at the sign of the Queen's palace, which read Wei Rui Palace, and couldn't help but sneer. This Queen Ning Zhuo seemed to be particularly fond of architecture. After ascending the throne, she built two small palaces of different styles in Liangdu.

It is convenient for hosting banquets on weekdays.

Madam Xu had attended a banquet here before. At that time, Madam Xu thought that the empress had a good taste and that the palace was exquisite everywhere. But ever since Tang Yue'er told her about the possible relationship between Xu Wang and Ning Zhuo, Madam Xu could only think of two words.

Leprechaun!

Even the name of this palace seems weird.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but snort with disdain.
