Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

If you dare to lie in front of the emperor, you are simply courting death.

Cai Ping knocked her head heavily on the ground and could only tell the truth: "Your Majesty, this medicine was requested by the master, the Concubine Chen. In the past few days, the master has always had headaches, palpitations, dizziness, and loss of appetite. This afternoon, she even vomited blood... I asked the imperial physician to take the master's pulse. The imperial physician said that the master was poisoned."

"The master was afraid that the emperor would worry, so he kept the poisoning a secret and forbade us to make it public."

Li Yuanjing's expression suddenly turned cold.

...

...

Yongning Palace.

Shen Wei was leaning weakly on the chaise longue, her eyes were tired and her lips were pale. Cai Lian held the medicine bowl in her hand and fed Shen Wei medicine one spoonful at a time.

The medicine tasted bitter, so bitter that Shen Wei frowned and almost burst into tears.

There was a breeze blowing in the yard outside the house, and the bronze bells hanging on the palace wall swayed, making crisp sounds.

Shen Wei pricked up her ears and listened to the copper sound for a while. She knew that Li Yuanjing had arrived. She coughed weakly on purpose and warned Cailian: "My poisoning must not be made public. The emperor must not know about it... The emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs and is tired and exhausted. We cannot let him be distracted by the affairs of the harem."

Cai Lian's acting skills were also very good. She shed tears without hesitation and choked up, "Master, the dosage of one of the herbs in the contraceptive soup you took was increased. It's obvious that someone is deliberately harming you..."

Shen Wei lowered her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Anyone who can make trouble in the Imperial Hospital must have someone to rely on in the previous dynasty. The previous dynasty and the harem are closely related, and one move can affect the whole body. If I find out the murderer behind the scenes and make a big deal, I am afraid it will affect the situation in the previous dynasty and bring trouble to the emperor... Forget it, in the future, when you go to get medicine, just keep an eye on the doctor yourself and don't let him make any moves."

Cai Lian wiped her tears and said, "Master, you always think about the emperor, but you should also think about yourself occasionally."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bead curtain in the inner hall rustled.

The beaded curtain was lifted.

Li Yuanjing walked into the house with a sullen face.

He heard the conversation between the master and servant.

Shen Wei seemed to have not expected the Emperor to come so suddenly. Her beautiful eyes flashed with panic and uneasiness. She stood up quickly: "Your Majesty..."

The poisoned Shen Wei looked extremely pale, and her vitality had faded a little.

Li Yuanjing felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He had always known that Shen Wei had taken the contraceptive soup, but he had never expected that someone would be so bold as to do something with the contraceptive soup of the imperial concubine.

His Vivi was unwilling to speak out when she suffered, and swallowed the pain silently.

How can one not have pity?

How can one not feel heartbroken?

Shen Wei asked Cai Lian to leave, leaving only her and Li Yuanjing in the huge room. Shen Wei took two steps forward and wanted to explain: "Your Majesty, things are not what you think... cough cough cough..."

Shen Wei was so anxious to explain that she choked and coughed weakly.

Li Yuanjing gently stroked Shen Wei's back, held Shen Wei's hand and sat back on the couch. Shen Wei drank half a cup of tea before she suppressed her cough.

Shen Wei said, "Your Majesty, the servants always exaggerate things. In fact, my illness is not serious. I will be cured after taking medicine for two days."

In order to reassure Li Yuanjing, Shen Wei told him the truth: "Your Majesty, there is something I want to tell you. Divine Doctor Mo sneaked into the Imperial Hospital. She prescribed medicine to detoxify me and also prepared a contraceptive soup that is harmless to the body. Divine Doctor Mo is a heroine with superb medical skills. I have a minor illness and will recover soon."

Shen Wei did not intend to hide the fact that Mo Xun was lurking in the Imperial Hospital.

Mo Xun had previously been lurking in the Yue State delegation, and then went to the Imperial Medical Service with great fanfare, so he certainly could not escape Li Yuanjing's eyes.

Shen Wei directly confessed the identity of Dr. Mo.

Firstly, it demonstrates her trust in Li Yuanjing and that there are no secrets between them.

Secondly, Shen Wei would definitely ask Mo Xun to come to Yongning Palace to check her pulse frequently in the future. A young imperial physician and a young concubine, if they get along for a long time, they will definitely attract the attention of other concubines in the harem.

If someone falsely accuses Shen Wei of having an affair with the imperial physician, she could confess to Li Yuanjing early on and defuse the potential crisis.

"I already know about Mo Xun's matter." Li Yuanjing said.

Shen Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that Mo Xun's whereabouts could not be hidden from the emperor's eyes.

Shen Weilu tugged at Li Yuanjing's sleeve and shook it gently, pleading, "The divine doctor Mo has written a prescription. I will boil the medicine and take it every day. It will definitely cure the disease. Please don't investigate who poisoned me."

A cold look flashed across Li Yuanjing's black eyes.

This matter has touched his bottom line!

The mastermind behind the poisoning must be found out!

Li Yuanjing said: "I will send someone to investigate this matter. Weiwei, don't beg for mercy for the evil people."

Shen Wei opened her mouth and tried to persuade him: "For the sake of the overall situation, it's okay for me to suffer a little. You must not destroy the situation of the previous dynasty because of me."

Her thoughtfulness touched and warmed Li Yuanjing's heart.

Li Yuanjing stroked Shen Wei's pale cheek and said in a tone that did not allow for argument: "Weiwei, be obedient."

In the end, Shen Wei lowered her head in distress and said nothing, as if she had compromised.

...

It was dark and the Yongning Palace was quiet. The watery moonlight filtered through the window lattices and poured into the bedroom.

After drinking the bitter medicine, Shen Wei felt dizzy and fell asleep early in Li Yuanjing's arms.

Perhaps because he had been thinking about something during the day, Li Yuanjing had a terrible nightmare at night.

[In the dream, Li Yuanjing's temples were already gray, and Leyou, Chengtai and Chengyou had all grown up.

The sky was as dark as ink, and Li Yuanjing searched everywhere for Shen Wei in the empty palace. The flowers in the Imperial Garden had withered, the water in the Yongning Pond had dried up, and the entire palace was dead silent.

Li Yuanjing searched for a long time but still couldn't find any trace of Shen Wei.

The palace became his prison.

Le You ran over and said, "Father, what are you looking for?"

Li Yuanjing looked around blankly: "Where is your mother? I can't find her..."

Le You shed tears and choked up, "Father, have you forgotten? Mother was poisoned in the palace and has passed away."

Li Yuanjing felt as if struck by lightning, his chest seemed to split open, and the pain made his soul ache. 】

On the bed, Li Yuanjing suddenly opened his eyes. The dark bed curtains came into view, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the bed curtains, bringing a bright light.

The scenes in the dream were vivid, and Li Yuanjing seemed to still feel the pain in his chest.

He subconsciously looked towards the bed.

Shen Wei'an lay quietly on the couch, her eyes closed, her soft black hair gathered in front of her shoulders. The moonlight fell on her cheeks, her skin was as white as snow.

Li Yuanjing was stunned, and his finger subconsciously reached under Shen Wei's nose.

Very weak breathing, warm.

She is still alive.

The huge rock hanging in his heart fell heavily to the ground, and a sense of relief came naturally. Li Yuanjing opened his arms and hugged Shen Wei tightly in his arms, his heart beating like a drum.

In less than a moment, Shen Wei, who was having difficulty breathing, struggled to wake up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found herself in Li Yuanjing's arms.

Shen Wei: ...

Why are you so crazy and not sleeping in the middle of the night? Are you trying to strangle me to death?

Shen Wei was so angry that she wanted to kick this troublesome guy off the bed. After taking two deep breaths, Shen Wei pretended to be puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
