The next day, Azhi received news that Fu Rong had contracted the flu and had a high fever that wouldn't go away.

When Empress Dowager Xu went to the Yangxin Palace to visit, Zeng Rou was forced to kneel in the snow.

She was the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, so naturally she had to come and visit the emperor when he was sick.

Ah Zhi came to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity in a sedan chair carrying a hot water bottle.

"Your Highness, I have been waiting for you. The Queen Mother had a big temper in there, and many of the maids and eunuchs in the Yangxin Palace were punished."

As Manager Li spoke, he glanced at Zeng Rou who was not far away.

I saw a beautiful figure kneeling in the snow. She was wearing the green winter clothes of a first-class palace maid.

Cuizhu helped Azhi forward and stood in front of Zeng Rou, looking down at her.

"Eunuch Li, how long has she been kneeling?"

"She has been kneeling for an incense stick of time. The Queen Mother made her kneel in the snow for a full hour. She must be taught a good lesson."

"She is just a maid, yet you still ask your majesty to condescend to look for her. You really don't know the rules."

In fact, Zeng Rou had already known that Azhi had appeared.

But she didn't want to look up at this moment and let the other party see her embarrassment.

Azhi turned around and followed Manager Li inside. As soon as he reached the door, he heard some noise inside.

Queen Mother Xu stood beside the bed with an unhappy expression.

Fu Rong lying on the bed was weakly calling out a name.

A young eunuch came out quietly and whispered in Li Zongguan's ear.

Ahzhi had excellent hearing and heard it.

It turned out to be Fu Rong calling Ah Rou, still saying I love you, you can't leave me...

It would be problematic for Empress Dowager Xu to look happy if her own son fell in love with Zeng Rou.

"What's this called?"

Manager Li shook his head and looked at Azhi.

"Her Majesty, wait a moment. I will go in and tell the Queen Mother that you are here."

"Go."

Empress Dowager Xu followed him out of the room and glanced sharply at the people in the room.

"Your Majesty's nonsense today, I hope not a single word of it will be spread out."

"Xianfei, now that Concubine Su is pregnant and the Emperor is ill and has no one to take care of him, you should stay in the Yangxin Palace to take care of him."

All the dirty work is thrown to myself.

Azhi was very reluctant.

But he still agreed obediently.

"Yes, I understand."

Empress Dowager Xu felt sick when she thought of Zeng Rou.

He started giving orders before he even left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"Madame Chen, Zeng Rou is to be punished with twenty strokes of the cane. All the palace maids and eunuchs in the Yangxin Palace must watch the punishment."

"Queen Mother!"

Nanny Chen disagreed and said, "Your Majesty might be talking nonsense and is confused for a moment."

"If the Queen Mother punishes Zeng Rou, it will cause a rift between you and your son when Your Majesty recovers."

But Empress Dowager Xu simply wouldn't listen.

She squeezed the beads tightly and gritted her teeth.

"Zeng Rou was the late emperor's man, and at the beginning..."

"Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Xu was so angry that she was confused.

I actually forgot that Azhi was next to me.

She came back to her senses and waved her hand, "Xianfei, you go in and serve the emperor first."

"Yes."

I didn’t expect such a good opportunity to enjoy the show to be interrupted.

Azhi entered the room unwillingly, but she still asked Cuizhu to arrange someone to eavesdrop.

But Empress Dowager Xu was very cautious.

The people sent by Azhi returned empty-handed.

A warning came from the bed.

Fu Rong opened his eyes with great effort. His whole body felt as if a jack was pressing down on it, making it extremely difficult for him to even turn over.

"water."

Azhi looked at him impatiently.

But I still poured water into the teacup and handed it over.

Drink it with a glass of warm water.

Fu Rong felt much more comfortable and her throat was no longer as uncomfortable as before.

"Your Majesty, you are finally awake."

It can be called a perfect face change.

Just now, Azhi had a look of impatience on his face, but in the blink of an eye, his face was filled with worry.

"Xianfei? Why are you here?"

Azhi wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, her movements gentle and full of tenderness.

"Your Majesty is ill, and I am here to take care of you."

"I'm sick? No wonder I feel so tired. Thank you for your hard work, Concubine."

The woman was wearing a goose yellow waist-hugging skirt and a snow-white fur scarf, which made her look very noble.

That flawless face was exquisite, and it could be seen that the other person was still stunningly beautiful even without any makeup.

Looking at Ah Zhi from such a close distance, Fu Rong felt that the other person seemed to have no flaws at all.

See Azhi taking care of herself personally.

Fu Rong couldn't help but ask in a gentle voice, "Where are the others? Why would they let you do it yourself?"

"I went to watch the execution."

"Watching the execution?"

Azhi nodded without hiding anything.

"Yes, Zeng Rou disregarded your Majesty's health and allowed your Majesty to catch a cold and have a high fever in the rain and snow. This is a serious capital crime."

"The Queen Mother punished her by making her kneel in the snow and reflect on her mistakes for an hour. She was also to be beaten with the cane 20 times. Everyone in the Yangxin Palace went to watch the punishment."

"What did you say?"

When Fu Rong heard that Zeng Rou was to be punished and would have to endure twenty strokes of the cane, she immediately threw off the quilt and rushed out.

But he still had a cold and felt dizzy, and he fell to the ground without noticing and couldn't get up.

Azhi could have supported him.

Just deliberately not helping.

I watched him fall to the ground in disgrace.

"Hiss, Concubine Xian, help me out quickly. We can't let the Queen Mother punish Zeng Rou. She is not in good health to begin with. I can't watch her suffer."

What a pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks with a love as deep as the sea. It makes anyone who sees it sad and anyone who hears about it cries.

Very pitiful.

Azhi pretended that he couldn't help her.

"Your Majesty, I am weak."

Her eyes were red and tears were swirling in them. She looked extremely anxious and helpless.

Just at this moment Cuizhu came in hurriedly.

"My lady, the Queen Mother has ordered the execution."

Fu Rong, who was originally unable to get up, miraculously stood up after hearing that Zeng Rou had started to be beaten.

The power of love is truly invincible.

Azhi and Cuizhu chased after them.

In the yard, Zeng Rou was pressed on a bench and beaten.

The sound of the palace stick hitting the flesh was dull.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the Yangxin Palace watched in silence as Zeng Rou groaned from being beaten.

Empress Dowager Xu sneered as she turned her Buddhist beads.

"You have all shown me clearly. This is your lesson."

Being beaten in front of so many people.

It was like rubbing Zeng Rou's face on the ground.

As soon as Nanny Chen counted to ten, Fu Rong stumbled out.

He pushed away the eunuch holding the palace staff and rushed forward to protect Zeng Rou.

"emperor!"

Seeing Fu Rong running out regardless of everything, Empress Dowager Xu stood up in surprise.

"You are still sick and it's freezing outside. How can you run out and feel the cold wind? Go back quickly!"

For the sake of her beloved, Fu Rong was stubborn and refused to leave.

He heard it just now, there are still ten more strokes of the cane before the end.

I can't bear to see Arou get hurt.

I promised to protect her.

She should also be given the honorable title of queen.

Fu Rong panted weakly and said, "Mother, how could you punish Zeng Rou behind your son's back?"

I didn’t expect that Fu Rong wanted to protect Zeng Rou even though she was sick.

Empress Dowager Xu was even more furious.

"Are you crazy?"
