The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

Li Xuansheng was in front of the hall, toasting with the ministers.

His gaze was drawn by Erxi's startled breathing and he looked towards the last seat.

"what happened?"

Erxi hurried to the center of the hall, fell to his knees with a plop, his eyes filled with tears, his voice hoarse with anxiety.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to Lady Lu. After drinking, she suddenly fainted. Your Majesty, please come and see the young lady!"

The road is clear!

When Li Xuansheng heard that the person who fainted was her, his heart skipped a beat.

"Why did you faint for no reason?"

The wine glass in his hand suddenly fell to the ground with a "bang", and he strode towards Lu Qingqing's seat, completely ignoring the ministers who were surrounding him and toasting him.

He walked quickly to Lu Qingqing and lifted her into his arms as she fainted on the ground.

At this moment, Lu Qingqing was unconscious, her eyes were closed, her delicate little face was flushed red, and there were several red rashes on it.

"Qingqing! Qingqing! How are you?"

Li Xuansheng's big hand gently stroked Lu Qingqing's cheek and he kept calling her name, but the beauty in his arms still didn't respond at all.

He shouted angrily at the palace servants around him, "Go and call the imperial physician for me!"

When everyone in the hall heard that Lu Qingqing fainted because of drinking the wine at the banquet, they were so scared that they put down their wine glasses and looked at each other.

Soon the imperial physician arrived at the hall.

The palace servant who delivered the message saw that Li Xuansheng was in a bad mood and took Lu Qingqing's fainting very seriously, so he specially invited the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Doctor Dou.

Following Li Xuansheng's instructions, Doctor Dou quickly stepped forward and carefully examined Lu Qingqing's pulse.

"Your Majesty, after my humble diagnosis, Noble Lu's face is now red and has a slight rash. My preliminary judgment is that Noble Lu is suffering from alcoholism."

After hearing what Doctor Dou said, Erxi felt very strange.

Alcoholism? How could the young master be alcoholic?

At the banquet today, the young lady had only eaten some dishes and drank a little rose wine. She had eaten these foods before and had never had any alcohol-related reactions. However, Doctor Dou was a skilled doctor and an upright person, so his diagnosis should not be wrong.

Just when Erxi was confused, Li Xuansheng seemed to have thought of something and suddenly confirmed with Doctor Dou again.

"Doctor Dou, you said that Lady Lu is in this state because of alcoholism. Is it possible that there is something wrong with the food she ate?"

Hearing Li Xuansheng's question, Concubine Xian, who was sitting at the table, suddenly became nervous.

She was in charge of the banquet, including the food.

Although she was jealous of Lu Qingqing, it was more important to hold the Wanshou Festival successfully than to hurt Lu Qingqing, so she really didn't need to take risks in this regard. However, if there was a problem with Lu Qingqing's meal and it was replaced by someone with ulterior motives, she, the virtuous concubine, would inevitably be implicated.

Doctor Dou checked the food on Lu Qingqing's table one by one, and compared her food with that of others. After the inspection, he reported again.

"Your Majesty, I have checked the food of Noble Lady Lu and the food of others. No abnormality was found in the food of Noble Lady Lu. I believe that the reason why Noble Lady Lu had a reaction to alcohol is probably due to her physical condition."

After hearing what Imperial Physician Dou said, not only the Emperor, but everyone present, including Concubine Xian, breathed a sigh of relief - the food at the banquet was safe.

Only Concubine Shu had a barely perceptible smile on her lips.

It seemed that the surprise she had prepared for Lu Qingqing in advance was delivered accurately.

Doctor Dou continued, "Your Majesty, although Concubine Lu's alcoholism is not life-threatening, she needs immediate treatment. However, it is not convenient to treat her in the palace now. You need to send Concubine Lu back to the bedroom as soon as possible so that I can continue to treat her."

After hearing this, Li Xuansheng hurriedly ordered the palace servants to prepare the sedan chair, picked up Lu Qingqing, and walked out of the palace.

"Where is your Majesty going?"

The Queen Mother's voice suddenly came from behind Li Xuansheng, stopping him in his tracks.

Her gift of a golden statue had just been deposited into the national treasury by Li Xuansheng, and now he was going to abandon all the guests at the banquet in the hall for the sake of a mere nobleman.

As the empress dowager, Fang Kexin must stop it.

"Is the Emperor going to ignore all the people present at the banquet just for a noble lady? There should be a limit to favoring a concubine!"

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Li Xuansheng suddenly reacted.

When he saw Lu Qingqing was sick, he didn't know what was wrong, and his heart was immediately in a mess. He had only one thought, which was to stay with Lu Qingqing and take care of her, as if he would not feel at ease until she recovered.

Just now his mind was completely on Lu Qingqing. If the Queen Mother hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten that today was his birthday banquet.

Although Li Xuansheng and the Queen Mother had always been at odds, what the Queen Mother said at this time was indeed reasonable.

Li Xuansheng had no choice but to carry Lu Qingqing onto the sedan chair first, and told Erxi that he would visit Yinglan Pavilion later after the banquet was over.

The Queen Mother saw every detail of Li Xuansheng's actions towards Lu Qingqing, and Fang Kexin began to make plans.

Unexpectedly, the usually cruel emperor would be so concerned about this little noble lady!

Since you dared to accept her gift today, don't blame her for being rude to this noble man Lu tomorrow!

She couldn't control the emperor, but it was easy for her to control a little noble!

After Lu Qingqing was sent away, the longevity banquet continued with toasts, singing and dancing.

……

In Yinglan Pavilion.

Lu Qingqing took the medicine specially prepared by Doctor Dou and gradually woke up.

"Ahem... Erxi... Water... Water..."

Although she was awake, she now had no strength in her body and her breath was still weak.

The redness on Lu Qingqing's face had faded, but traces of the rash still remained on her pale face.

Erxi carefully helped Lu Qingqing lie on the soft pillow and carefully served her water.

After moistening his throat, Lu Qingqing felt much more comfortable.

"What's wrong with me?"

She only remembered that she was eating and drinking at the banquet, and then she felt her throat was stuffy and she couldn't breathe. She didn't know anything about what happened after that.

"My young master, you didn't know that you fainted in the palace."

"Fainted, why would I faint?"

"After you fainted, the emperor immediately summoned Doctor Dou to treat you. Doctor Dou said that you were suffering from alcohol poisoning."

"Alcoholism? What is alcoholism?"

Lu Qingqing asked Erxi in return, she had never heard of the term "alcoholism".

"Doctor Dou said that some people get rashes when they are drunk, some get shortness of breath, and some vomit and faint. My young lady, the reaction to your alcoholism is that you get a rash on your face, and you faint because of the difficulty breathing."

After hearing Erxi's explanation, Lu Qingqing understood that the so-called alcoholism in ancient times was actually alcohol allergy. But she is not allergic to alcohol, right?"

Lu Qingqing carefully recalled the food she had eaten at the banquet.

A few side dishes.

Half a dessert.

And drank some rose wine.

However, she had eaten these foods before and had no adverse reactions.

She then asked, "Erxi, did Doctor Dou check my dishes, but there is something wrong with my dishes?"

Erxi shook his head in disappointment.

"My lady, Doctor Dou has examined your dish and compared it with others, and he didn't find anything wrong."

Strange, what went wrong?

Just when Lu Qingqing was puzzled, Xiaotao stepped forward and replied.

She was holding a tray in her hand, and on the tray was the dark purple palace dress that Lu Qingqing was wearing today.

"My Lord, I may have found the reason."
