Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless
Chapter 28: Heat Rising
Did he discover some secret?
Prince Ding: "..." He looked at him and said, "You ask me, do you think I have nothing better to do than to stare at the people in His Majesty's harem?"
Qian Hui nodded: "The prince doesn't look like him, it's His Royal Highness Prince Kang who looks like him. That master..." Now he is acting recklessly, bullying men and women, relying on his status as a royal prince to act erratically. If His Majesty hadn't bothered to pay attention to him...
Prince Ding also frowned when he mentioned Prince Kang: "He's been a bit too outrageous lately."
At this time, Lan Qingwu had woven a bracelet garland with purple, white, and pink flowers on it, which set off each other very beautifully. She compared the size and gently put it on the wrist of Emperor Shenwu. Then she looked at Emperor Shenwu cautiously, thinking that he should not wear these as an emperor now, so she was about to take off the bracelet garland. Emperor Shenwu turned over the hand wearing the garland and grabbed her hand, and with his other hand he gently pinched Lan Qingwu's nose.
Lan Qingwu's cheeks felt slightly hot, and then he stood up to pick new flowers.
Lan Qingwu, tired from playing, was embraced by the emperor and soon fell asleep in his arms. Li Xiang quickly took out a cloak and gently draped it over his master. The emperor couldn't help but close his eyes. The beautiful scenery before him, with his beloved in his arms, made him feel relaxed and happy, as if he had really returned to the leisurely past.
When Lan Qingwu was about to leave, she had already woven three colorful flower crowns. As she was about to mount her horse, Li Xiang hurriedly said, "My lady, I will keep them for you."
Lan Qingwu nodded and handed it to Li Xiang: "Thank you, Eunuch Li."
Li Xiang said hurriedly, "Of course I should."
Qian Hui's mouth twitched when he saw this, and he thought to himself, what an old fox.
Back at the camp, Lan Qingwu had already helped the Emperor remove the bracelet and garland. The Emperor reached out and placed his hand in her arms. Chengfeng was being taken away by the palace maids for care. Seeing Ruping coming to pick her up, Lan Qingwu took her garland and took her leave. A group of people surrounded the Emperor, presumably because he had a lot of government to attend to.
Ru Ping had just taken a few steps supporting Lan Qingwu when something unexpected happened. A drunken man suddenly rushed out of the tent nearest them. He reeked of alcohol, his face flushed, and he walked unsteadily. He looked at Lan Qingwu with drunken eyes, then suddenly lunged forward, muttering, "Fairy, this fairy should only exist in heaven... Ah!"
He let out a scream as Ru Ping kicked him to the ground. Lan Qingwu was also frightened. She could smell the alcohol on him from such a close distance. The flower crown in her hand fell to the ground, her face pale. If this person touched her in broad daylight, even if it was not her intention, her fate would not be good. She might even be confined to the cold palace...
The Shenwu Emperor hadn't gone far when he heard the noise and turned back. His face darkened instantly. Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat. This matter couldn't be settled peacefully. Who was so blind? The Shenwu Emperor quickly stepped forward. Only Li Xiang, Prince Ding, and Qian Hui followed the Emperor. The others consciously stayed where they were.
When they got there, Li Xiang immediately protected Lan Qingwu like Ru Ping. The drunkard stumbled to his feet, still shouting, "Who? Who dares to snatch the fairy from me? Where is the fairy? Beauty..."
Lan Qingwu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. This king? He was of royal blood. It seemed that even if he made a big mistake, nothing would happen to him. Even he himself could not compare to him.
A storm brewed in the eyes of the Emperor Shenwu. He stepped forward and kicked him in the chest. "You want to die? I'll grant you that!"
Prince Ding couldn't help but be shocked. Qian Hui looked at Prince Kang with a hint of disdain. He really deserved it. He just walked into the muzzle of His Majesty's gun.
This kick was not as good as Bu Ping's. It sent King Kang flying more than ten meters away. King Kang did not get up again, but groaned on the ground. Two servants ran out of the tent. Seeing the scene, their legs went weak and they knelt on the ground. Emperor Shenwu just coldly spat out two words: "Beat him to death!"
Guards immediately came out and dragged the two servants away. Prince Kang seemed to be sobered up by the pain. Seeing Emperor Shenwu, he knelt down in a crooked manner: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Emperor Shenwu looked at the nearby tents and said, "Li Xiang, see if Prince An is in there too? If so, lock him up with Prince Kang. Everyone else in the tent will be beaten to death!"
Prince Ding's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't dare to plead for them at this time, and... he also felt that they were courting death.
Emperor Shenwu approached Lan Qingwu and saw her pale face and tear-filled eyelashes. He knew she had been frightened again. Emperor Shenwu reached out and held her in his arms, saying softly, "Don't be afraid. I'll take you back."
Emperor Shenwu brought Lan Qingwu directly back to the imperial camp and summoned Nie Wushuang. After taking Lan Qingwu's pulse, Nie Wushuang frowned slightly and prescribed a tranquilizing soup. After the medicine took effect, Lan Qingwu reluctantly drank half a bowl and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Nie Wushuang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have asked someone to watch over you tonight. You are very distracted and I am afraid you will have a fever in the middle of the night."
Ru Ping's expression changed. "Your Majesty, once the Master has a fever, it's probably going to be hard to get rid of. Even antipyretics won't work."
Emperor Shenwu's face darkened slightly. He certainly knew that when he saw the news that year, he could only endure it with all his might.
Nie Wushuang listened and said, "Miss Ruping, could you please tell me the details?"
Ru Ping glanced at Emperor Shenwu and said, "When my master was fourteen, he fell seriously ill with a high fever that wouldn't go away. No matter what medicine he took, the fever wouldn't subside. He later fell into a coma for seven days and seven nights. The doctor had already asked General Lan to prepare... his funeral. I hadn't even reached my master's side at that time. Ru Han, after she had been frozen through, clung to my master. After a full day and night of tossing and turning, the master's fever slowly subsided. When my master was fifteen, he fell ill again, and it was just as difficult to reduce the fever, which is why he's so weak now."
Nie Wushuang frowned. "That doesn't make sense. Your Majesty, I will go down and make some preparations to be on the safe side."
Emperor Shenwu waved him down and sat on the bed, looking at her restless face in deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, Lan Qingwu indeed developed a fever, but fortunately the temperature was not high. Ruhan was called to take care of Lan Qingwu together. She was half-held in the arms of Emperor Shenwu and drank antipyretic medicine. Ruhan prepared an ice handkerchief and gently wiped Lan Qingwu's forehead. She was very scared and her eyes were red, fearing that her master would be tortured to death again.
Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu's hand and whispered in her ear, "Ruoruo, I am by your side now. You don't have to fear anything. I will always protect you."
Lan Qingwu seemed to be aware of something, and his fingers slightly grasped the hand of Emperor Shenwu.
In the morning, Lan Qingwu's low-grade fever had subsided, but fortunately it hadn't turned into a high. She woke up and sat up. Ruhan hurried forward: "My lady, are you feeling any worse?"
Lan Qingwu shook his head: "I just feel a little weak. How about His Majesty?"
Ru Ping came over with a glass bowl and knelt beside the bed. "Master, His Majesty has watched over you all night and is now attending to government affairs."
Lan Qingwu nodded. She also heard him talking while she was half asleep.
Ruhan brought the mouthwash. After Lan Qingwu rinsed her mouth, Ruping fed her the porridge. She had no appetite and only ate half a bowl.
Ru Ping saw that her face was still a little pale, and said, "Master, wait an hour, and you'll need to use some medicine."
Lan Qingwu had no choice but to nod.
Ru Ping and Ru Han went downstairs to clean up. Ru Han whispered to Ru Ping, "Ru Ping, have you noticed that His Majesty and the Master seem to have some... some..."
Ru Ping's heart skipped a beat. She said, "My dear Ru Han, please do not say anything more about the Masters' affairs, especially His Majesty. If you are not careful, you will offend the taboos. The Master knows what is going on. We just need to serve the Master well."
Ruhan was afraid that she would nag again, so he quickly said, "I know, I know."
