The emperor stood outside the gate of Yongshou Palace, feeling both nervous and expectant.

After a long time, he winked at Xiao Xiazi.

Xiao Xiazi understood and stepped forward quickly.

There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Linzi, startled awake, pricked up his ears to listen. This rhythm...

He confirmed it again, hurriedly woke up the apprentice beside him, and whispered instructions.

"Someone is knocking on the door, be careful."

After Xiao Linzi finished speaking, he went straight to the main hall.

Afraid that it was too late, he knocked hard on the window twice.

After receiving a response from his master, he ran into the main hall, covered himself with the quilt, and pretended to be asleep.

He had just closed his eyes for a few breaths when he heard heavy footsteps coming from the yard.

As soon as the emperor entered the palace, his dark eyes fixed on the young eunuch leaning against the bedroom door.

Xia Qie didn't need his master's instructions at all. He took a few steps forward and knocked the man unconscious with skillful techniques.

He gently pushed the door open a crack and skillfully took out a thin bamboo tube.

An Lingrong could not hide the noise outside. She noticed that the door of the bedroom was pushed open and her nose twitched slightly.

I could faintly smell the familiar ambergris and other unfamiliar scents.

Her heart suddenly tightened, and she immediately held her breath, silently urging the small medicine cabinet to absorb the unknown medicine.

Last night, after the emperor locked the palace gates, he went to Jingren Palace angrily.

He should have gone to verify the authenticity of the blood writing on the wall tiles, but instead of looking for trouble with the deposed queen and Zhen Huan and others, why did he run to Yongshou Palace?

Could it be that there is something here that I don’t know?

An Lingrong's mind raced, trying to make sense of what was going on.

It was pitch black outside. Logically, it was still far from the time for the emperor to attend court. Yet, he couldn't wait to come here in person. Could he be mentally ill?

The emperor was unpredictable, and An Lingrong was unsure what he was going to do this time, so she simply checked the various medicines stored in the small medicine cabinet.

If it really doesn't work, just lay the person down on the couch and let him rest for a while.

About a moment later, An Lingrong heard the sound of a window opening. The cool breeze was blocked by the thick curtains, and she did not feel the slightest bit of coldness under the brocade quilt.

Then she heard the emperor's voice.

"Xia Qie, can this medicine of yours really cause hallucinations? Will the Imperial Concubine wake up midway through?"

Xia Kari replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I have increased the dosage as you instructed. Even through the curtain, the Empress will not wake up midway. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. The Empress will remember nothing when she wakes up. However, the dosage is too high, and it is inevitable that she will suffer some damage. It is best to consult a royal physician afterward."

An Lingrong listened to the conversation between the two without even raising her eyelids.

She didn't have high expectations of the emperor in the first place, so how could she be touched?

But isn’t Xia Qie’s words a little too frequent?

It was completely inconsistent with what Xiao Wuzi had revealed, and it seemed like it was said specifically for her.

The more An Lingrong thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. With a thought, the drug pill from the small medicine cabinet appeared in her throat.

This is a specially made sleeping pill by Wei Lin. It is harmless to the body. Its only weakness is that excessive dosage will cause prolonged sleep.

The conversation outside the curtain was still going on. An Lingrong hardened her heart and swallowed two more pills to prevent herself from falling asleep quickly.

Not long after, An Lingrong felt a cool breeze.

Someone must have lifted the curtain.

By this time the pills had taken effect, and she vaguely heard the emperor holding her hand and asking questions.

"Rong'er, do you have me in your heart?"

An Lingrong's eyelids moved slightly, but she couldn't open them, as if she was trapped in a sweet dream.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but with endless tenderness, expressing the endless affection hidden in her heart.

"Your Majesty, in this life, the one I love most is you. I..."

The emperor's heart trembled suddenly, and the place where he was stabbed by Yixiu was instantly surrounded by a warm current, slowly moistening it.

The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, his eyes flashed brightly, and then he muttered awkwardly.

"How shameless!"

The emperor wanted to use this to hide the complacency on his face, but he couldn't help but prick up his ears, afraid of missing every word An Lingrong said next.

But after waiting for several breaths, except for the thumping of his own heart, the bedroom was so quiet that even the air seemed to have frozen.

The emperor looked slightly disappointed. He thought to himself: Could it be that Xia Qie's medicine was too strong and made the patient pass out?!

His heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but step forward and gently push An Lingrong.

Seeing that no one moved, he leaned over and whispered in An Lingrong's ear.

"Rong'er, do you have me in your heart?"

"Rong'er, you..."

......

His voice became louder and louder, but the person on the bed still did not respond.

The emperor then realized that there might be something wrong with the medicine. He put his trembling hand under An Lingrong's nose and breathed a sigh of relief after feeling the warm breath.

Looking at An Lingrong's fair little face as she fell asleep, the emperor, still unsatisfied, suddenly became furious.

"Summer harvest!"

Xia Qi rushed in and saw that the emperor's face was covered with frost, so he knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I am here!"

"Look at the good things you've done!"

The Emperor glared at An Lingrong, pointing at the sleeping An Lingrong on the bed. "I asked you to use the medicine because I wanted to have a chat with the Imperial Concubine, not because I asked you to drug her into this state!"

"If anything happens to the Imperial Concubine, I will hold you responsible!"

Xia Qie broke out in sweat on his forehead. He didn't expect that just by increasing the dosage according to the emperor's order, he would mess things up.

He knew the emperor's temper very well. If the imperial concubine didn't wake up soon, he might not live to see dawn.

Xia Qie sensed a murderous intent from the emperor's sharp gaze.

So he quickly suggested, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I just didn't manage the dosage correctly. This powder is primarily a sleeping pill. I'll go get the imperial physician right away. Perhaps he can help the Imperial Concubine wake up soon!"

"Go quickly!"

The emperor shouted angrily, with a hint of anger and humiliation in his voice.

He looked at the petite woman lying quietly on the bed, and a lot of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Just before he touched Rong'er's breath, he felt a tingling pain in his heart.

The emperor sighed softly. He didn't know when this woman, as gentle as water, had quietly occupied his heart.

The emperor once said that it is a taboo for an emperor to have feelings!

He doted on Zhen and did many ridiculous things for her, but what he got was betrayal by that woman!

Now, he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake!

The emperor's big hand slid slowly down from An Lingrong's jade-white face and stopped at her slender neck.

The big palm closed slightly and touched the smooth skin.

Every summer, what he loved most was this delicate and slightly cool skin, and he could never get enough of touching it.

The emperor closed his eyes in annoyance and slowly closed his hands.

Zhang Tingyu is right, getting rid of the mother and keeping the son is the best choice!
