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

Gu Youning's voice sounded a little confused. Moreover, she had come out in a hurry today, without any hairpins or jewelry, and with her long black hair draped over her shoulders, she had a sense of fragility that made people feel pity for her.

Moreover, the emperor had deeply understood Ning'er's worry all night about her son's move to Ci'an Palace. He could not help but stand up, walked downstairs and personally helped the girl up: "The ground is cold, get up quickly, don't freeze yourself."

"Your Majesty, I just want to know who is trying to harm Zheng'er. Since entering the palace, Zheng'er and I have never made enemies. We have only stayed in Changchun Palace. Why would someone be so cruel as to attack Zheng'er?"

"If you are dissatisfied with me, why don't you come directly to me..."

Gu Youning was unwilling to lean on the emperor's arms, but instead wanted to push the emperor's hand away.

Her eyes were already filled with tears, but she was trying hard to hold them back. Only two drops of tears fell, making her look extremely helpless and sad.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

"I will definitely make the decision for you this time."

The emperor naturally did not want to let go of the woman who could not even stand steadily. He exerted a little force with his hands, half hugged and half supported her, and walked her to sit on the chair.

"With the eldest prince in trouble, Concubine Gu is inevitably sad and anxious. Sister Zheng, please don't blame her."

The queen smiled and looked at Concubine Zheng, whose expression was becoming increasingly ugly.

At this time, Concubine Zheng no longer paid attention to the Queen's provocation. Her eyes were full of the emperor's gentle profile and words, but they were not directed at her.

How could this bitch Gu Youning deserve such gentle treatment from the emperor?

The emperor personally put a cup of hot tea in Gu Youning's hand, then turned to look at Caifu who was standing behind Concubine Zheng: "You..."

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother!"

"Oh no, the Queen Mother has passed out."

But before the emperor could utter a single question, he heard the screams of the palace servants nearby.

"Mother!"

The queen stood up in shock.

The emperor frowned, turned around and walked quickly towards the golden nanmu couch.

"Caifu, help me go over and take a look."

Concubine Zheng glanced at Gu Youning coldly, but joy appeared in her eyes. She half leaned on Caifu and walked over.

The Empress Dowager did faint at the right time, but Concubine Zheng's original plan was probably in vain.

Gu Youning was also helped to stand up by the palace maid.

"Where's the royal doctor?"

Just as the emperor was about to get angry, a man in a green official robe came hurriedly from outside carrying a medicine box on his back, followed by two imperial doctors in blue robes.

"Yang Yuanpan, you know the Queen Mother's health best. Come and take a look at her."

Seeing the visitor, the queen said with joy.

But an almost invisible cold light flashed in Concubine Zheng's eyes, and she and her personal maid Caifu looked at each other secretly.

Then Caifu seemed to glance casually at another imperial physician in a green robe.

Gu Youning understood that this imperial physician was probably from the Zheng family.

Over there, Court Judge Yang had already knelt beside the bed and began to feel the Empress Dowager's pulse. After a thorough inspection, he frowned for a moment, then quickly relaxed. He bowed to the Emperor and said, "In my humble opinion, the Empress Dowager has had a relapse of her headache. She must have been unable to bear the pain and passed out."

"Is it serious?"

The emperor asked in a deep voice.

"I can give the Queen Mother acupuncture to relieve her pain."

"Then please ask Judge Yang to make arrangements quickly."

The Queen said hurriedly.

The emperor was about to nod when a voice interrupted him: "Although this is an old illness, the Empress Dowager is usually carefully cared for by the Imperial Hospital, and she is not very uncomfortable on normal days. Why did it flare up so badly this time?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Concubine Zheng who was speaking.

"Since there are two other imperial physicians here, why not have them treat the empress dowager together? By combining the three of them, the empress dowager's health will be better protected."

Considering the Empress Dowager's health, there was nothing wrong with Concubine Zheng's words. Even the wary Empress could only agree, "Concubine is right. One person's shortcomings are often accompanied by the efforts of many. The Empress Dowager's health cannot be neglected."

The emperor nodded in agreement.

Two imperial doctors came forward one after another to take the patient's pulse.

The second person was the one Caifu had just seen.

"Your opinion agrees with Judge Yang. The Queen Mother indeed fainted from a severe headache."

One of them said.

"That's my opinion... Although headaches are a chronic condition, if you've been properly rested and haven't experienced extreme anger or grief, you shouldn't have fainted from the pain. I doubt it..."

The other person first agreed, then paused, and continued speaking after a long while.

"What do you suspect?"

The emperor asked coldly.

"The Empress Dowager's headache this time may be caused by external factors. I suspect that the Empress Dowager may have recently come into contact with some medication or something that may aggravate the headache. Of course, my medical skills are far inferior to those of Yang Yuanpan. This is just my humble opinion."

In order to make his words more credible, the imperial physician did not make any final statements.

"What do you think of this, Judge Yang?"

The emperor looked to the other side.

"Your Majesty...your Majesty still thinks the Empress Dowager is suffering from a common headache, but what Imperial Physician Song says makes sense. How about I give her acupuncture to relieve the pain first, while Imperial Physician Song looks for any objects or medications that might be aggravating the headache?"

Judge Yang hesitated for a moment, but still calmly insisted on his point of view.

"I think what Judge Yang said is very reasonable. No matter what, relieving my mother's pain is the most important thing."

Yang Yuanpan is from the Cui family and is the most trusted imperial physician by the empress dowager. Naturally, the empress would not offend him in public.

"Of course, but if there really are drugs in Ci'an Palace that could harm the Empress Dowager, they must be found as soon as possible."

"Imperial Physician Song, you have to be more careful."

"Yes, I will do my best."

Gu Youning sneered in his heart at the satisfaction in Concubine Zheng's eyes and the words "drugs that harm the Empress Dowager" that she had just blurted out.

Concubine Zheng, the happier you are now, the more disappointed you will be later.

Gu Youning's cold gaze swept across Xiao Yun'an, who seemed timid but actually had his eyes drooping and looking around. She had no energy and no will to carefully investigate what Xiao Yun'an had done today.

Even if some doubts were found, the emperor and the people in the harem would not believe that a six-year-old prince who was ignored by the emperor could make such a cruel and meticulous plan. Everyone would either think that she was too angry and lost her mind because her son almost got hurt, or that she deliberately targeted Xiao Yun'an and wanted to clear the obstacles for her son in advance.

But Zheng'er's suffering and resentment must finally find a place to be released tonight, otherwise she is afraid that she will not be able to control the surging hatred in her heart in front of the emperor.

After all, she is not a god or Buddha who has no emotions.
