The emperor had forgotten the imperial physician's advice not to get angry easily. He coughed violently twice in anger and then fainted in excitement.

When the emperor woke up, it was already late at night. He felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, as if he had been beaten up.

Su Peisheng came in with a washbasin and a towel. When he saw the emperor get up, he stepped forward to help the emperor up and let him lean on the couch, while Su Peisheng gently wiped the emperor's face.

The emperor thought he was having a nightmare, but when he gradually came to his senses, he realized that this was not in the Yangxin Palace, but in the Shoukang Palace.

The emperor asked cautiously, "What on earth is going on?"

Su Peisheng's old face turned red and he lowered his head timidly, not knowing how to answer the emperor.

How should he answer that the emperor favored Ru in Shoukang Palace? If the emperor knew about this, would he be angry to death?

Seeing that Su Peisheng didn't speak, the emperor became more anxious. "Answer me, what happened? Why am I here?"

Su Peisheng could only kneel down and kowtow, saying, "I don't know the specific details, but I heard from the people in Shoukang Palace that you favored Ru Yi here, so I came to serve you—"

Su Peisheng's words came to an abrupt end because the emperor interrupted him with a roar.

"How dare you! You are all so foolish! Get out of here, get out of here!"

The emperor felt that he was unclean. Ruhua was so disgusting. How could he possibly favor her?

But things have already happened, and it is no use for the emperor to regret it.

The emperor had someone serve him, dressed him up, and ran to the main hall of Shoukang Palace to question the empress dowager why she treated him like this.

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager replied calmly, "Your Majesty, you are the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. You are merely favoring a concubine. What's so strange about that? As the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you are supposed to expand the royal family. I am simply worried about you because I don't have many children."

The emperor was so angry that he almost fainted again. Fortunately, Su Peisheng was afraid that the two big Buddhas would quarrel again, so he hurried in to serve tea to the emperor, interrupting the conversation between the emperor and the empress dowager.

Gyeongin Palace

Consort Xian smiled and whispered in Yixiu's ear, "Sister, you're going to make me laugh to death. Have you heard? The Emperor called for water several times as soon as he returned to the Yangxin Palace. The servants said he almost rubbed his skin red."

Yixiu was almost laughing to the point of being out of breath. Who on earth had come up with this idea? It was a pity that someone could come up with such a wicked idea. Now the emperor was probably really going to be pissed off.

Concubine Xian scolded, "After the emperor favored Ru, I no longer want to serve him in bed. When I think of the emperor favoring that woman, even if she touched the emperor, I feel weird."

Yixiu also nodded in agreement and said that she was the virtuous concubine and now she didn't want to sleep with the emperor anymore.

In the harem, not only Yixiu and Concubine Xian, but many concubines felt extremely disgusted after knowing that the emperor favored Ruda.

Even An Lingrong, who is always good-tempered, doesn't want to visit the emperor anymore. I really don't know who would be so unlucky to become the second person the emperor favors after Ru Yiyin.

That night, in order to numb himself, the emperor called several women in succession to sleep with him.

After hearing the news, Noble Lady Nian breathed a sigh of relief and thanked God that the emperor did not call her, otherwise she would have to think of an excuse to avoid this unfortunate thing.

Su Peisheng was running around anxiously outside the Yangxin Palace. Would the emperor be mad if Ru agreed?

The emperor was already weak. After he had favored Ru, he asked several people to sleep with him. His body could not bear it at all. I am afraid something bad will happen.

Su Peisheng asked someone to tell Yixiu about this matter, but Yixiu said that he had a headache and could not take care of it at all.

Su Peisheng asked someone to report the matter to Concubine Xian, but the people in Concubine Xian's palace said that Concubine Xian had already gone to bed. Moreover, it was not Concubine Xian's business to decide which concubine the emperor favored.

As expected, something happened to the emperor. At dawn the next day, a burst of exclamations suddenly came from the Yangxin Palace.

"Someone, come quickly, the emperor has fainted!"

Su Peisheng thought to himself that something was wrong and immediately asked the imperial physician who had been summoned earlier to go and examine the emperor.

After checking the emperor's pulse, the doctor said helplessly, "Your Majesty has a high fever. You must rest!"

The emperor is already an elderly man. He has been under great stress and has been working hard. How can his body bear it now?

Qixiang Palace

Ruhua's heart was so sweet that she felt like she was flying. She wondered what position the emperor would give her in the future.

Even though they were very dissatisfied with Ruhua, but because Ruhua had served him in the emperor's bed yesterday, Chunmei, Xiahe and Xiaoxizi from the palace still came to congratulate her.

"This servant (slave) congratulates the young master, congratulations to the young master!"

Logically speaking, Ruhua should reward them with something, but Ruhua has always been stingy towards her servants.

She just sat in her seat, nodding with satisfaction, "Oh, you can't congratulate on something like this, you can't congratulate on it!"

Everyone:…………

Chunmei no longer wanted to help Ruhua with her makeup. Every time she saw Ruhua's face in the dressing mirror, Chunmei felt that her good mood for the day was affected.

"Where's Rong Pei? Why didn't she come?"

Ruhua looked around and couldn't help pouting when she saw that Rong Pei was not there.

Seeing this expression, Xiao Xizi's eyes went dark. He tried his best to avoid looking at Ruhua's face, and then replied: "If you agree, Rong Pei's face is not healed yet! She is recuperating now, so she can't come to serve."

Ruhua pouted, twisted her fingers, and said coquettishly, "But today, I have to pay my respects to the Empress. As my head maid, Rong Pei will naturally follow me to Jingren Palace."

Xiao Xizi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chunmei.

"Then I will go and call Rong Pei on Ru Ying's behalf!"

Rong Pei was severely beaten. Ruhua had the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital prescribe medicine for her, but no one cared about Rong Pei at all. Now the wounds on her body have festered and she is lying on the bed grimacing in pain.

The door creaked open, and Chunmei said indifferently, "Rong Pei, if you agree to serve me, I'll ask you to."

Rong Pei was stunned for a moment. "Is that all you said? Didn't you promise to give me something else?"

Chunmei sneered, "My lady was summoned by the Emperor to his bed yesterday, and today she has to pay her respects to the Empress. My lady has always valued you, so how could she be absent from such an occasion?"

Chunmei was the head maid assigned to Qixiang Palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, ever since Rongpei came, she has always regarded herself as the head maid of Qixiang Palace, which made Chunmei feel very uncomfortable.

She is not a saint, so naturally she doesn't have a good attitude towards Rong Pei, who has the same illness as Ruhua.
