Refusing to let love take a back seat, the scumbag emperor actually seeks favor every day

Even though he was pushed and harassed every time, Zhao Chengyuan would always appear in front of Su Manman.

The scar ointment that she refused was still delivered to Fengwu Palace as usual.

Faced with someone who completely refuses to listen to advice, the only thing Su Manman can do is to let him be.

The premise is that everything he does will not bring himself unnecessary trouble.

Otherwise, she would still find a way to stay away from her.

While taking the time to deal with Zhao Chengyuan, she naturally did not forget what she should do.

But she had just carried out half of her plan and was preparing for the next step when an unexpected event occurred.

"Empress! Something bad has happened!"

At night, after she had washed up and was about to lie down to rest, Xiao Xiazi suddenly came to report in a hurry.

"Concubine Xi of Fuhe Palace is dying!"

"What did you say!?"

When Su Manman heard this, she was so shocked that she immediately sat up from the bed.

Concubine Xi has been in poor health recently, but her condition is not this serious.

"Someone from Fuhe Palace just reported that Concubine Xi was not in good condition after dinner. She had a sudden convulsion at night and is not doing well anymore."

I heard that people from Fuhe Palace had already asked the imperial physician for help, but the physician was unable to find out the specific cause.

The incident happened too suddenly and Su Manman felt something was fishy.

"Qiu Ye, help me dress up!"

As soon as Qiu Ye heard this, he knew what she was going to do.

"But your Majesty, you are not fully recovered yet, and it is so late now, why not let someone else take care of it?"

The "others" that Qiu Ye refers to here refers to Li Yuwan, who is now assisting in managing the six palaces.

Although she didn't like Li Yuwan, she cared more about Su Manman's body.

As for other things, she didn't think too much about it.

"No, I have to go and take a look!"

Su Manman didn't explain much, but insisted on going and urged Qiu Ye to hurry up.

If she wasn't so disabled now, she would have cleaned up everything herself.

Although Qiu Ye was worried, he had no choice but to do as he was told since he couldn't persuade her.

After a simple packing, she took a sedan chair to Fuhe Palace.

When she arrived, the palace maids in Fuhe Palace were in a panic because of Concubine Xi's sudden situation.

There is already an imperial physician attending to the case.

As the message had said, the imperial physician had found nothing about the cause of her sudden condition.

Looking at Concubine Xi lying unconscious on the bed, her face pale and looking like she was dying, Su Manman's heart couldn't help but grow heavy.

Although the two of them were in the same palace, they had never had much interaction. If it weren't for this haunted incident, they might not have spoken to each other.

But it seemed that a healthy person suddenly lay there and said he couldn't do it anymore, and she still felt bad.

She asked the doctor desperately, "She was fine before, how could she suddenly become ill for no reason? Did you miss the diagnosis or misdiagnose her?"

It is almost impossible for the palace doctors to have bad medical skills.

But at this moment, she hoped that it was a misdiagnosis caused by the imperial physician's poor medical skills.

The imperial physician standing by was so frightened when he heard her words that he fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, please understand! Everything I said is true! I will never be negligent!"

Su Manman was not here to cause trouble, and seeing this, she did not make things difficult for the imperial physician.

After she got the imperial physician up, she still did not give up, so she ordered people to invite more imperial physicians.

Let more people take a look at it, maybe it will be helpful.

When she sent someone to call the imperial physician, she was not idle either.

All the palace maids and eunuchs who had been taking care of Concubine Xi in Fuhe Palace were gathered together and asked about her every move before she became abnormal.

For example, who you have met, what you have eaten, or any unusual behavior.

The people from Fuhe Palace also responded one by one.

It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it.

Just when Su Manman was disappointed, a palace maid suddenly mentioned, "By the way, although no one came to the palace today, Concubine Li and Concubine Liu came yesterday."

The palace maid paused after she finished speaking and did not continue.

But Su Manman could tell from her hesitant eyes that she hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Go on."

When Su Manman spoke, the little palace maid hesitated for a moment, as if she had made a secret decision.

"When Imperial Concubine Li came yesterday, she stayed alone in the room with Imperial Concubine Xi. I was outside the door and faintly heard the two quarreling in the room. After Imperial Concubine Li left, when I entered the room to serve her, Imperial Concubine Xi looked unhappy."

The palace maid thought for a moment after saying this and then added another sentence.

"But I'm not sure if they were really arguing, or if they were just talking a little louder at the time."

Su Manman frowned as she listened to the little palace maid's words.

She knew that Li Yuwan had always been arrogant because of her favor and did not take the concubines in the palace seriously. She would beat anyone she did not like, which was a troublesome character.

It’s just that Concubine Xi hasn’t been out recently, so she shouldn’t have been provoked.

There was no reason for her to come to a sick person's house and quarrel with him. This was an immoral and mindless thing to do. Although she could do it, she had never done it before.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.

She didn't say anything about it, but only asked the people in the palace whether there was any conflict between Concubine Xi and Li Yuwan.

Everyone thought about it again and again, and shook their heads.

"Our queen has always been timid. She is usually so afraid of Concubine Li that she dares not offend her..."

After hearing this, Su Manman felt that there was some truth in what he said.

How could a person who believed in ghosts in broad daylight and was frightened to the point of losing his soul and running around dare to offend this real person who could really deal with him?

Although it cannot be ruled out that Concubine Li might have been bored recently and was randomly causing trouble for others.

In addition, she also learned about the situation when Liu Mingyue came.

Liu Mingyue came before Concubine Li. She just showed some concern for Concubine Xi's health, drank a cup of tea and left without staying long.

"I heard that Concubine Xi had been suffering from nightmares since she got sick, so Concubine Liu specially sent her some incense to calm her nerves. Concubine Xi lit it yesterday and woke up this morning. She said that she had a good sleep since she got sick!"

Since she knew that Liu Mingyue had some medical skills, Su Manman was not surprised that the things she gave her were very effective.

Moreover, these two people once lived in the same palace, so it is very reasonable for them to have contacts with each other.

The more reasonable something is, the easier it is to be ignored.

She looked at the incense stick in the room, which was already half-burned. It didn't look like there was anything special, so she asked the palace servant beside her, "Is that it?"

The palace maid replied yes.

Then he took out the other items that she had not ordered and handed them to her.

Su Manman took the incense stick in her hand and looked at it. It was still very ordinary.

I smelled it and it had a very common goose pear scent.

She asked the imperial physician beside her to take a look, but he couldn't find anything unusual.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but this thing.

But she still put out the incense burning in the house and asked others not to light it for the time being.

The palace servants didn't understand what she meant and just did as she was told.

Afterwards, other invited imperial doctors also quickly arrived at Fuhe Palace.

However, after seeing the doctor, everyone's face looked very solemn.

The results were consistent: I’m afraid it won’t work.

If only one person says this, it may be a misdiagnosis, but if everyone says so, then this explanation may be very applicable.

Just when she was worrying about this and didn't know what to do, a person flashed through her mind.

We can only let that person give it a try.
