I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Chapter 488 The Emperor is Poisoned

At this time, Grandpa Gu and Gu Fu, the Duke of Protector of the Country, had already quietly moved into the palace under the arrangement of the emperor.

The emperor made such arrangements because, on the one hand, he wanted his grandson to live closer to Gu Fu and enhance their relationship.

On the other hand, we need to use Mr. Gu’s special abilities in case of emergency.

However, the capabilities that the Gu family has demonstrated nowadays are only in the areas of business, medical care, construction, farming, etc., and they rarely interact with the powerful people in Beijing.

Naturally, he didn't get any attention from others and was completely ignored this time.

After the rebel leader gave the order and started the second step.

That night, a concubine cooked a bowl of lotus seed soup and personally brought it to the emperor's study.

This concubine was the one the emperor brought into the palace after he had recovered from his health.

She has a sweet and naive personality, but is very pretty and charming, and is very much favored by His Majesty.

When the emperor was reviewing memorials, he would often send some nourishing food such as soups.

Today, the emperor was shocked in the court and fainted.

It would be reasonable to send the soup over at this time.

After Eunuch Pei reported the matter to the Emperor, the master and servant looked at each other.

There were different looks in their eyes.

"It's okay, just proceed as usual."

"Yes!" Eunuch Pei replied and let the person in.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty! You have made me so anxious today!

I waited until the court session was over with great difficulty, and then I personally cooked some soup for Your Majesty to nourish his body.

Your Majesty, drink it while it's hot. You don't know how worried I am about you!"

As soon as the concubine came in, she bowed hastily and then spoke to the emperor in a tone that seemed both angry and shy.

As he spoke, there were still tears in his eyes, as if he was crying and complaining.

That concern was genuine.

The emperor's heart softened when he saw this, and he couldn't help but put aside the suspicion that had just arisen in his heart.

The emperor hurriedly helped the concubine up, took her into his arms, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I'm fine! It's my fault for making you worry."

"Your Majesty~" The concubine put on a shy look and gently hit the emperor.

"Your Majesty promised me that you would give me a child.

But Your Majesty does not take good care of your body, how can I fulfill what I promised?

I heard from the imperial doctors that Your Majesty is suffering from a heart attack due to anger. So I specially prepared this lily and lotus seed soup for you. Your Majesty, please try it.”

As the concubine spoke, she freed her hands and scooped a bowl of soup herself. She then scooped a spoonful from the bowl, blew on it to her lips, and then brought it to the emperor's lips.

She remained calm in the midst of a rush, her movements were as smooth as flowing water, and her gorgeous clothes shone with her movements, which was a pleasure for the onlookers.

The emperor continued to smile without saying a word, watching his concubine busy herself with a doting look on his face.

He sniffed the soup in front of him and said with a look of enjoyment, "This soup is really delicious. I only smelled it once and I feel much more relaxed.

My beloved concubine has worked hard and has been worried about me for so long. How can I enjoy it alone? My beloved concubine, please drink with me."

The concubine heard this and acted like she was angry. She said coquettishly, "Well, no! I worked so hard to make this for your majesty. It's good for your health.

This is all from my heart, Your Majesty, please drink it all~"

The emperor laughed, with a helpless and doting look, he took the bowl and scooped a spoonful himself, "I also feel sorry for my beloved concubine, anyway there is still a lot, I will feed you."

Who would have thought that the beloved concubine, who was usually easy to talk to, kept covering her mouth today, stubbornly saying no, and insisted that he drink it himself.

"I am worried about Your Majesty, so I consulted the imperial physician. This soup is good for Your Majesty. Please drink it."

The emperor looked at the innocent, stubborn and lovely concubine and said happily, "Okay, okay! In that case, I will drink it all.

Thank you for your kindness, my beloved concubine! After you have made me some soup, will you come and help me sleep today?"

The emperor served the soup and looked at his beloved concubine with a gentle smile, not missing the momentary panic in her eyes.

But I heard my beloved concubine say shyly: "Your Majesty, you are so mean! You just tease me!

If it were any other day, I would be extremely happy. But your majesty is not feeling well today, and I feel bad for you and cannot bear to see you work so hard."

"Okay, okay! My beloved concubine really lives up to my love. Then I will do as you say. After you finish the soup, I will go to bed early. When I recover, I will definitely give you a little prince. How do you think?"

"Oh! Your Majesty is so naughty!" The charming concubine said with a blushing face, and then whispered shyly: "I am waiting for you."

"Your Majesty, drink the soup quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Okay, okay! I'll drink it right away.

Pei Ming, you were frightened today, so I will give you the rest as a reward. You can take it and drink it outside."

The emperor gave instructions to Eunuch Pei.

Eunuch Pei immediately smiled with a flattering look on his face, bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration!

I will no longer be a nuisance to you and Concubine Lin in the palace. I will take my leave."

As Eunuch Pei spoke, he quickly covered the remaining soup and carried it out together with the food box.

There was no time at all for Lin Fei to stop it.

Concubine Lin looked at what His Majesty and Eunuch Pei were doing, and her body froze for a moment.

But he quickly came to his senses and thought to himself, this is fine, since if anything happens to His Majesty, this old dog will not end up well either.

This is just right now. If something happens to Your Majesty, this old dog can be made to take the blame and be charged with committing suicide out of fear of punishment.

Thinking of this, she calmed down again and acted coquettishly while coaxing His Majesty the Emperor to drink the soup.

The emperor smiled tenderly, and drank the soup in one gulp with the gentleness and consideration of his beloved concubine.

Looking at the empty jade bowl, the smile on Concubine Lin's face became three points sweeter: "Your Majesty, how does the soup I stew taste?"

"My beloved concubine has worked hard to cook this, so it is naturally delicious."

"Your Majesty, as long as you like it, I will bring it to you every day in the future."

"How can I bear to let my beloved concubine work so hard every day for such a tedious matter..."

The two of them joked a few more times. When Concubine Lin saw that Eunuch Pei had not returned the food box, she felt worried and her tone became a little more unhappy.

I couldn't help but pretend to be avenging His Majesty, and said to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, the food box that Eunuch Pei took away contained the bowls and plates that I used to stew soup for Your Majesty, and he hasn't brought it back in such a long time.

Moreover, Your Majesty just drank something sweet, and no one even gave You Majesty some tea. Your Majesty must take good care of him."

"Haha, this old dog has been with me for many years, and I'm used to him serving me. It's just a set of dishes, my beloved concubine, don't bother with him.

He also had some disciples, so it's possible that the liquor was taken away by others to wash it down after he drank it.

But my beloved concubine is considerate of me and asked others to serve me tea. I am really a little fed up with it. "

"I will order someone to serve tea to Your Majesty."
