Seizing the throne, abolishing the adopted son, the imperial concubine rose to prominence

The emperor arrived with two imperial doctors.

"Greetings to the Emperor!"

"Step aside!"

Xiao Heng's face turned pale and he dismissed several concubines who were trying to get close to the emperor.

When Xiao Heng saw Gu Youning lying quietly on the ground, his heart felt empty.

"Ning'er!"

Tan Yin had already moved aside when the emperor came over.

Xiao Heng looked at the person whose face was as pale as paper and seemed to be lifeless. He picked him up with trembling hands and immediately walked quickly towards the nearby Zhujin Pavilion.

The two imperial doctors hurriedly followed.

Concubine Zheng looked at the emperor, who was so anxious that he didn't even glance at her. She tightened her grip on the maid's hand and managed to maintain a calm expression. She glanced at the concubines and said, "The emperor is furious and will investigate this matter thoroughly. Please don't leave, my sisters."

After hearing this, Fang Cainv almost lost her balance, but fortunately she was supported by her maid.

But when her eyes fell on her abdomen, she seemed to feel more confident.

Xiao Heng placed the person in his arms on the couch and said anxiously to the person behind him, "Hurry up and treat him."

"Yes Yes!"

Yuan Cai was greatly frightened by Long Wei. He immediately knelt on the ground, crawled to the edge of the couch, and took the initiative to check Gu Youning's pulse.

After confirming the pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he glanced at the person on the bed who still showed no signs of "waking up", and he understood something in his heart: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jieyu was frightened and soaked in the cold lake water for such a long time. If she can't wake up soon, I'm afraid it will be bad."

Yuan Cai's voice trembled when he reported back, as if he was afraid of being taken out on. After he finished speaking, he knelt on the ground.

Although this sounded serious, it left room for Gu Youning. As long as he could wake up early, he would be safe.

"What do you mean by bad? I want to keep Concubine Yu safe."

Xiao Heng was furious.

"Come up and take my pulse."

Xiao Heng's hopeful gaze fell on another imperial physician.

"Yes."

The imperial physician nodded in agreement and crawled over on his knees to examine Gu Youning.

Yuan Cai lowered his eyes with a bit of nervousness.

Concubine Gu's pulse was not as serious as he said, but the imperial physicians in the palace always exaggerated the severity of the condition.

Otherwise, if it is a mild illness, but you fail to cure the master, you will bring disaster upon yourself.

While Yuan Cai was feeling anxious, the imperial physician finished taking her pulse and told the emperor, "I and the imperial physician agree. As long as the imperial concubine can wake up soon, she will be fine."

Yuan Cai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, shall I change your clothes first?"

Tan Yin, who had just taken the clothes from Xian Yin, felt a sharp shudder in her heart. Imperial Physician Yuan was one of their own. Perhaps he had received a hint from his master and had exaggerated the illness's severity. However, there was no need for another imperial physician to help hide it from the emperor.

Is it true that the master is not a good person?

"Give me, all of you go out first."

As soon as Concubine Zheng arrived at the door, she heard this and stopped in her tracks.

Does the emperor really dote on this bitch to this extent?

Is it because this bitch gave birth to a prince for the emperor?

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Your Majesty is worth a ton of gold. How could you possibly do such a thing? Furthermore, your clothes are wet. You must have the palace maids change them immediately to prevent your body from catching a cold."

The one who spoke was He Chongyuan, who was beside Concubine Zheng, and she looked disapproving.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry too much. When the Second Prince fell into the water, he recovered in less than ten days. Concubine Gu is a lady, so naturally, she wouldn't be in such a state."

Seeing that the emperor seemed not to hear, He Chongyuan spoke in a gentle voice to comfort him.

"Everyone get out!"

"Cao Zhong."

Xiao Heng didn't even raise his head.

The calm expression on He Chongyuan's face was a little chapped.

"Your Highness, ladies and gentlemen, please wait outside for a moment."

Cao Zhong personally stepped forward to invite people.

After a while, only the emperor and Gu Youning were left in the room.

Gu Youning also breathed a sigh of relief. The dizziness was fake, but the coldness was real.

If Xiao Heng continues to have such affection with his concubines, and she continues to wear this wet clothes, she will definitely catch a cold, and then she will have no choice but to "wake up".

Soon, my cold body touched the warm big hand, which was very comfortable.

Xiao Heng was much better at helping people dress than she was, and soon she was dressed in dry clothes.

But Xiao Heng didn't let her go.

"Ning'er, you will wake up, right?"

"You've always been lucky. When you were attacked in the hunting grounds, you were lucky enough to find a cave to hide in. You'll definitely be safe this time as well when I come to rescue you."

The "unconscious" Gu Youning knew what the emperor was talking about. At that time, she just felt that the person who treated her so well should not die. With a sincere heart, she pushed the injured Xiao Heng into the arms of the only surviving guard, then put on Xiao Heng's clothes and ran to the side, leading away the assassins. That day was a life-or-death experience for her.

If she were asked to choose now, she would definitely not be so decisive. Just like at this moment, what she was thinking about was not the past with Xiao Heng, but how to make the most of what happened today.

Gu Youning didn't know how many times the emperor beside her had talked about the past. In her mind, she had already sorted out what happened today. Just then, she felt the emperor's warm lips covering her forehead, and his low voice seemed to be getting more and more painful, even a little desperate.

She knew that if she woke up at this moment, the emperor would feel extremely happy to have regained what he had lost.

"Your Majesty, it's cold..."

"Ning'er, you finally woke up."

The emperor's voice was so loud that the concubines outside the door could hear it clearly.

"She would choose a time to wake up, and the emperor would have to coax her for half a day."

Outside the door, Chen Yufei muttered unwillingly.

"The most important thing is that the emperor likes it."

Jiang Yunu, who has been quite favored these days, said softly.

The palace concubines all had sour and jealous expressions on their faces.

They stood outside the door, and although they could not hear the emperor's words clearly, they could hear voices talking inside.

When ordinary concubines were injured or sick, it was considered good enough to receive a few words of sympathy from the emperor. How could they have the blessing of having the emperor always by their side?

"If Lady Chen is envious, why not go stay in the lake for a while? If you stay longer, the Emperor might be more sympathetic."

A sneer rang out.

"But our Empress Chongyuan probably won't give you this opportunity. She can't bear to see others have what she can't have."

Before Chen Yufei could speak, the person who was speaking turned the gun around.

The concubines' originally puzzled eyes flashed with understanding. They thought that this person was speaking up for Concubine Gu, but they didn't expect that he was targeting He Chongyuan.

Being driven out by the emperor to blow in the cold wind, and having to witness others enjoying the emperor's favor, everyone was in a bad mood, so now it was quite good to watch the performance of the two of them.

Not to mention anything else, the concubines from aristocratic families all looked down on He Chongyuan.

It's nothing, she comes from a poor family, but she is even more proud and arrogant than the girls from wealthy families.

"Lady Wen, Empress Chongyuan is above you in rank. Aren't your words too rude?"

A court lady behind He Chongyuan said indignantly.

Lady Wen sneered, her eyes full of contempt, and said to He Chongyuan, "No wonder He Chongyuan is usually so proud and aloof. It turns out that she lets others do all the calculating things. She actually knows how to make the best use of people."

"Lady Wen, Empress Chongyuan has never ordered me to do anything. It is I who..."

"Shut up, I don't talk to stupid people."

Lady Wen shouted coldly in impatience.

"Ruolan..."

He Chongyuan was using a cold expression to stop the person behind her who wanted to continue speaking when everyone saw the Queen's procession coming towards them.

"Greetings to the Queen."
