Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Only the queen, her personal maid and Liu Jin were left in the bedroom. The queen looked at the emperor's red face and felt something strange for the first time.

She did not like the emperor. In her eyes, the emperor was childish, had no cultural accomplishment, and was irresponsible. She did not regard the emperor as her husband, but only as a cooperative partner. Therefore, when the emperor did not come to her before, she was not worried or sad. If it were not for the desire to have a legitimate son, she would have wished the emperor would not come.

But now, seeing the emperor falling ill because of worry about his offspring, she felt moved again. She couldn't give birth, but the emperor could give birth with anyone, so he would not be without offspring. But the emperor was still so worried, and he even fell ill when he was about to choose a concubine. This showed that the emperor really cared about her and was worried about her.

Women are like this. A man may not be the ideal type in their hearts, but if this man puts you in his heart and worries about what you worry about, no woman will not be moved.

She took the emperor's hand and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, please wake up. It doesn't matter if I don't have any children. At most, you can register other children under my name."

emperor:......

He was awake. He just made himself sick, but he didn't faint. The reason he didn't wake up was just to see how King Liang would react when he was unconscious and what the imperial doctors would do.

He didn't know what the queen meant. Did she think he was sick because she couldn't have children?

The emperor was a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to wake up and tell her something, but he didn't dare to wake up and had to continue pretending to be unconscious.

The medicine was brought over quickly. The queen took it and wanted to feed it to the emperor herself. Liu Jin watched anxiously from the side, wondering if there was anything wrong with the medicine.

He stepped forward and said boldly, "My Lady, you are not the one to do this kind of thing. Let me do it."

The Queen said: "No, the Emperor is ill, and it is my duty to take care of him. Help him up and I will feed him."

Liu Jin was afraid that the Queen would notice something, so after a moment's hesitation he helped the Emperor up. The Emperor felt that the medicine was being fed to his mouth but he refused to open his mouth.

Just kidding, he knew there might be something wrong with the imperial physician, so he would be a fool to take medicine.

The Queen tried to feed the Emperor for a long time but couldn't get his mouth open. She became anxious and said to Liu Jin, "Pry the Emperor's mouth open."

Liu Jin was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly: "My Lady, I dare not."

The Queen was furious. She glared at Liu Jin and said, "If you don't do as I say, the Emperor won't be able to drink the medicine and how can he recover? Do you want to see something happen to the Emperor?"

How could Liu Jin dare to force the emperor to speak? He had no choice but to poke the emperor's lower back with his finger: Your Majesty, what should I do?

The emperor felt helpless, knowing that if he didn't wake up today, he would definitely not be able to avoid the drug. He could only slightly open his eyes and asked weakly, "What's wrong with me?"

Seeing that the emperor had woken up, the queen cried with joy and didn't even bother to feed him medicine: "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Liu Jin hurriedly took the medicine from the queen's hand and put it aside. The emperor was a little stunned when he saw the queen's anxious expression and tears on her face. Is the queen worried about him?

He didn't expect that the queen, who was always cold-hearted, would cry. A warm feeling welled up in his heart. Not everyone wanted to take advantage of him, and there were people who cared about him.

The Queen took the Emperor's hand and sobbed, "Your Majesty, you caught a cold and have a high fever, and you fainted. Do you feel any discomfort?"

The emperor shook his head gently and raised his hand to wipe the queen's tears. "Don't cry, it's just a minor illness, it's nothing serious."

The emperor and the empress looked at themselves in each other's eyes, and only then did they find a place for each other in their hearts.

Just as the two of them were looking at each other with deep affection, an inopportune voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, your fever hasn't subsided yet. You should drink the medicine first."

It was the imperial physician who came to deliver medicine. The emperor turned his head and glanced at the imperial physician coldly: "Why do I need you to decide when to take the medicine?"

The imperial physician knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am just worried that the medicine will become cold and affect its effectiveness."

The Queen also remembered the medicine at this time, and advised gently: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is right, you should drink the medicine first."

The emperor glanced at Liu Jin, who understood and brought the medicine over. Then he stood in front of the bed to block the imperial physician's view.

The emperor reached out to take the bowl of medicine, seemingly bringing it to his mouth, but the medicine poured directly down his chin onto his pajamas.

The queen's eyes widened, thinking that the emperor had spilled the medicine because he didn't hold the medicine firmly. She was about to scream when she suddenly felt the emperor tighten his grip on her hand, and then she saw the emperor shaking his head slightly at her.

Although the queen didn't know what the emperor was going to do, she swallowed the cry that was on the tip of her tongue.

The emperor handed the medicine bowl to Liu Jin and asked coldly, "Is this okay?"

Liu Jin showed the empty bowl to the imperial physician. The imperial physician had just watched the emperor bring the medicine bowl to his mouth. He never imagined that the emperor would pour the medicine on himself, so he bowed and retreated.

The emperor gave a look and Liu Jin went out to send the imperial physician.

When only the emperor and the empress were left in the room, the empress anxiously checked the emperor's chest and asked, "Is the emperor burned?"

The emperor shook his head: "It's okay."

The Queen pulled open the Emperor's nightgown, revealing a red scald on his chest. She cried anxiously, "How can it be alright? Look, it's all red. Why did you do this? How can the disease be cured without taking medicine?"

The emperor watched as the queen hurriedly took off his pajamas and wiped the medicine off his body with a handkerchief.

Looking at the Queen's red eyes from crying, the Emperor held her panicked hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "Queen, are you and I one?"

The Queen was stunned, not yet understanding the Emperor's question. The Emperor raised his hand and gently touched her cheek, wiping away the tears. He said slowly, "I do not wish to take a concubine. I only wish for my eldest son to be legitimate. Only a son born to you and me will be part of our family."

The queen's eyes instantly turned red again, and she burst into tears: "But, my body..."

Emperor: "If a man and a woman cannot conceive, the problem may not lie solely with the woman."

The Empress was stunned. What did the Emperor mean by this? Was he implying that perhaps there was something wrong with him? How could that be possible? Even among the common people, if a woman couldn't conceive, the blame was often placed on her. How many men would admit to having a problem? The Empress was shocked that the Emperor valued her so much, even admitting his infertility was his fault. She was deeply moved and threw herself into the Emperor's arms, sobbing.

The Emperor gently embraced the Empress and patted her back, but his eyes held no trace of pity, and it was unclear what he was thinking. Only when the Empress's sobs subsided and turned to sobs did the Emperor help her to her feet. "Alright, stop crying. Time is running out. I don't trust the palace physician. Please write to your grandfather and ask him to find a reliable doctor to come to the palace to examine us. Any problem among us must be resolved before I, the concubine, enter the palace."

The Queen noticed that the Emperor looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, so she asked tentatively, "Has the Emperor discovered anything?"

The Emperor shook his head. "Empress, I have not yet taken charge of the government. Crisis is rife all around me. You are my first wife, and we are as close as husband and wife. You are the only one I can trust, and I can only rely on the Duke of Lu's Mansion. Therefore, I can only leave this matter to the Empress."

The queen's expression also became serious. She was not stupid. She understood that the emperor must have known something. The king of Yi Kingdom did not even believe the imperial physician around him. This was a big problem. The emperor was right. They were one. If the emperor was not well, she and the Duke of Lu's Mansion would not be well.

She nodded with a firm look: "Okay, I will go and deliver the letter to Grandfather."

The emperor nodded, reached out to take the nightgown that had just been soaked with the medicine, and handed it to the queen: "Send this out of the palace as well and have your grandfather have someone check it to see if there are any problems. Send someone to ask Zou Tai or Zhao Liangchen to escort it to the Duke of Lu's mansion."
