Zhu Dingyuan said these words purely to coax her.

Zhao Yue pretended not to understand, released his lips, and cried: "What's the matter with the poisoned wine and the cold palace? Is your majesty a tyrant?"

The more she showed the understanding and docility that he loved, the more guilty he would feel.

Zhu Dingyuan really put his arm around her waist and said, "If I am a tyrant, then Yue'er will be the only virtuous concubine by my side, okay?"

He reached out and gently turned Zhaoyue's face around, his eyes soft, "I know Yue'er has been wronged, I will not let Yue'er suffer in vain, okay?"

When Zhu Dingyuan thought of Concubine Gao, a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Yue held his hand and nodded, her cheeks flushed, as if she was a little embarrassed: "Is it... too fast for your majesty to forgive me like this?"

"Hahahaha!" Zhu Dingyuan laughed: "Then Yue'er can punish me in any way she wants."

"How dare I punish Your Majesty?"

Zhao Yue muttered something and snorted coquettishly.

He looked at Zhu Dingyuan's clothes, took a handkerchief and wiped his wet hair. His eyes darkened and were covered with a layer of mist.

"Yue'er is so willful that she lets Your Majesty get caught in the rain. What if he catches a cold?"

Zhao Yue saw the scratch on his palm again and bit her lip: "Your Majesty, please punish Yue Er. It's all Yue Er's fault."

She stood up and pretended to kneel down.

Zhu Dingyuan looked at her worried eyes and felt happy. He quickly pulled her into his arms and said, "I asked you to punish me, and you asked me to punish you. How should I punish you?"

Zhao Yue was hugged tightly by him, and sniffed with a red face: "Yue'er doesn't know."

"I have said before that your Majesty's health is very important. Now it is because of my pampering that I have hurt your Majesty, so I should be punished."

Zhu Dingyuan stroked her cheek and wiped away her tears: "She has the face of a demon, but she has the heart of a Guanyin. Everyone in the harem is virtuous. Concubine Gao used to be gentle, but I can see clearly that she was just pretending."

"Only Yue'er really understands the rules, does everything according to my wishes, and doesn't make a fuss or get jealous."

There was warmth in his eyes: "It is a blessing for me to meet Yue'er."

Zhao Yue leaned on his shoulder and said, "Then your majesty must protect Yue Er well in the future."

She sneezed.

Zhu Dingyuan glanced at the window and said, "The servant in your room is really tactless. Why don't you close the window in such a cold day?"

"Your Majesty." Zhao Yue tugged at his sleeves: "It is because I want to be cool."

Zhu Dingyuan picked her up from the couch, put her on the bed, and wrapped her tightly with a blanket: "This is the fox blanket I gave you as a reward. Is it warm? I'll bring some more."

Zhao Yue nodded and held his hand: "Yue'er feels cold and sleepy, but she wants to talk to your majesty."

"I won't leave. I'll stay with you. Tell me when Yue'er wakes up."

Zhu Dingyuan ruffled her hair, hugged her, leaned against the head of the bed, lifted the blanket on her shoulders, and patted her back: "Go to sleep."

Zhao Yue buried her head in his chest, resting her head on Zhu Dingyuan's chest. She closed her eyes and grabbed his clothes in a daze: "Your Majesty is injured... You have to call the imperial physician..."

"Okay, I'll call the imperial physician once Yue'er falls asleep."

Zhu Dingyuan looked down at her, and when she took a deep breath, Huang Quan came in and said, "Your Majesty, you have to treat your injuries!"

"Shh." Zhu Dingyuan patted Zhaoyue's back, pointed at the window, and closed his eyes.

Huang Quan had no choice but to close the window and leave. Standing at the door, he called Xiao Xiazi, "Go get the doctor."

"Your Majesty didn't say he wanted it!" Xiao Xiazi replied stupidly.

"You little brat, it's better to be prepared, understand?"

"Then I will ask Dr. Su to come to me."

Huang Quan rolled his eyes: "It's just a small matter, you can handle it yourself!"

The rain gradually became lighter, and the many flowers in Chuntang Palace were all beautiful and fragrant after being wetted by the rain.

Zhu Dingyuan had been sitting there, his shoulders a little stiff after being rested on by Zhaoyue for so long, but looking at her sleeping face, he felt comfortable, and smelling her fragrance, his mind became clear and peaceful.

He was willing to be resting his head on hers all the time.

Zhao Yue suddenly moved in his arms, stretched out her hand from under the blanket and scratched her shoulder: "Hmm...itchy..."

She was wearing a skirt, and because her skin couldn't be touched, she frowned uncomfortably and moved a little more vigorously: "Uncomfortable..."

Zhu Dingyuan quickly grabbed her wrist and looked at her distressed face: "What's wrong, Yue'er?"

Zhao Yue opened her eyes, still sleepy: "It's itchy, Your Majesty... there are bugs biting me..."

"Bugs?" Zhu Dingyuan was afraid that she would scratch her skin, so he didn't let her move. When he saw that she was aggrieved, his eyes narrowed and he directly tore open the cloth on her shoulder.

Her skin was white and tender, so any scars would be particularly obvious. Now she looked even more pitiful, as if she had been bitten and had a red rash all over her.

Zhao Yue couldn't see the skin on her back, so she frowned and hummed, wanting to reach out and scratch it: "Itchy..."

"Be good, Yue'er, don't catch me yet."

Zhu Dingyuan felt something was wrong: "Huang Quan! Call the imperial physician!"

He threw the blanket on Zhaoyue to the ground: "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, it should be an allergy, don't be afraid."

Su Ziyun came in carrying a medicine box, walking at a leisurely pace: "Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you, Lady Zhao."

"Quick! Check Yue'er to see if she has an allergy!"

Zhaoyue turned her back and let him look at her shoulder.

Su Ziyun looked at it for a moment and said, "Let me take a look at your skirt."

Zhu Dingyuan hummed and coaxed Zhaoyue: "It's okay, the imperial physician is here, the imperial physician is here."

Su Ziyun rubbed the fabric of her skirt and touched the hanging curtain.

Finally, he looked at the white fox rug on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, was the young lady wrapped in this just now?"

"Ah."

Su Ziyun picked up the blanket, smelled it, and looked unhappy: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this blanket."

He rubbed his fingers a few times and showed the gray powder on his fingers to Zhu Dingyuan: "It's arsenic, very toxic. If you keep sleeping on it, you will inhale the powder with your breathing and attach it to your pores. Then you will probably..."

Zhaoyue trembled and squeezed Zhu Dingyuan's sleeve.

"No need to say more!" Zhu Dingyuan hugged her, anger rolling in his eyes: "What a good trick, even the things I sent can be tampered with."

"Is Yue'er's symptom due to poisoning? Can you cure her?"

"I would like to ask you a question, my lord. Do you sleep on this blanket often?"

Zhao Yue leaned slightly to the side, her voice weak: "No, because the poisoning just happened, I just changed the things on the bed today, and this blanket was just laid out."

Su Ziyun said, "Your Majesty, the young lady is fine. This poison needs to accumulate. The red rash on the young lady's skin should be caused by insect bites."

He looked around, pretending to be puzzled, and said in a clear voice: "But the young master's house has obviously been cleaned, how come there are insects in the bed?"

Zhu Dingyuan snorted coldly: "Only in bed, I'm afraid someone is taking care of my Yue'er on purpose."

He threw a cloak beside him over Zhao Yue and said, "Huang Quan! Tell all the servants who serve Lady Zhao to come in!"
