Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Emperor Shenwu urgently summoned Zhao Wubing, the head of the academy, and Nie Wushuang to Suowu Palace.

In Suowu Palace, Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu lying unconscious on the bed. He had clearly been weak in his arms not long ago. Panic gradually spread in his heart. His face was as cold as frost. He asked Doctor Zhao, who was taking his pulse, "How is it?"

Doctor Zhao felt the patient's pulse with one hand, but his brows were furrowed tightly. "There are many reasons for this coma..."

Nie Wushuang was examining the butterfly. "Your Majesty, Master, thank goodness this butterfly didn't fly away. I know there's a rare poisonous flower in Nanling called Sleeping Beauty. Its pollen is harmless to butterflies, only making them more beautiful and alluring. However, once a person is contaminated with this pollen, they will die in their sleep without realizing it, and it's difficult to detect the cause. This butterfly was contaminated with this pollen. If it had flown away, I, your humble servant, would be helpless."

Emperor Shenwu's expression turned grim, with veins bulging on the back of his hand. "Is it possible to prepare an antidote now?"

Nie Wushuang bowed and said, "This antidote is not difficult to prepare. The difficulty lies in the fact that this poison is difficult to detect. I will prepare it immediately!"

Ruhan and Ruping knelt beside the bed, Ruhan's eyes were slightly red, and she had a secret fear in her heart. Her master never took medicine, so could this antidote cure the disease?

After the antidote was prepared, Emperor Shenwu half-picked up Lan Qingwu and personally fed it into Lan Qingwu's mouth spoon by spoon.

Emperor Shenwu was also aware of Lan Qingwu's physical condition and asked Nie Wushuang, "If Concubine Yi doesn't wake up when the time comes, does that mean that Concubine Yi's physical condition cannot tolerate this medicine?"

Nie Wushuang hurriedly said, "Master and I have anticipated this situation and have prepared two doses of antidote."

Emperor Shenwu nodded slightly: "Everyone, please leave."

Emperor Shenwu personally stayed by Lan Qingwu's bedside. His bony fingers gently stroked Lan Qingwu's cheek. "Ruoruo, wake up quickly. Didn't we just agree that we would never be apart again in this life? I still want to take you out of the palace. I know you like things outside the palace. I will take you out of the palace often in the future to go shopping, play, and see the scenery, as long as you wake up."

When the time came, Lan Qingwu was still not awake, so Nie Wushuang asked Ruhan to bring him a dose of detoxification medicine, and Emperor Shenwu fed him the medicine himself.

Seeing that the emperor looked grave, Nie Wushuang spoke up, "Your Majesty, don't worry. After using this decoction, the Queen will surely wake up safely. This is thanks to the fact that the Queen has been taking the Jiuzhi Flower Dew for some time, which has effectively suppressed the poison."

Even so, Emperor Shenwu was still not completely reassured. Li Xiang hurried into the bedroom and bowed, "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."

The Emperor Shenwu's eyes were as bright as lightning, and his face was filled with a cold and murderous look. No matter who it was, he would never let this person go.

It was already late at night when Lan Qingwu woke up. She moved her fingers only slightly, and the Shenwu Emperor who had been guarding her noticed it instantly. The Shenwu Emperor called her softly: "Weiwei, Weiwei."

Lan Qingwu finally opened his eyes and said weakly, "Your Majesty, I saw a butterfly."

Seeing that she was thinking clearly, the Emperor Shenwu finally let go of his worries. He reached out and held Lan Qingwu in his arms. "It's okay, Ruo Ruo. The butterfly is dead. I've asked Nie Wushuang to check all the flowers and plants in your palace. Now Ruo Ruo just needs to rest well."

Lan Qingwu lay in the emperor's arms, figuring out the key to this matter. Suddenly, he felt terrified: "Brother Heng, is there someone who wants Ruo Ruo to die? Ruo Ruo just wants to be with Brother Heng."

She herself had never thought of harming others. Lan Qingwu had always known that she was special in the emperor's heart, but she had never used this special status to harm others.

After all, I was naive. The emperor only showed a little favor and specialness to me in public, which was enough to become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of others. If... then I would be the target of public criticism.

"Brother Heng, I'm scared." Lan Qingwu's eyelashes were filled with tears. This kind of method was really hard to guard against.

Emperor Shenwu kissed the top of Lan Qingwu's head gently: "Don't be afraid, Ruoruo, everything is under my control." I didn't keep you by my side to let you suffer again and again. "It's not easy for me to be with Ruoruo, I will not let anyone destroy this!"

The five years of separation had already made him suffer enough from the pain of missing someone. How could he allow anyone to touch the emperor's reverse scale again!

The Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu's cheek with his big hand and looked into her eyes: "Ruoruo, please bear me a little prince quickly, so that I can give you more."

Lan Qingwu's eyes were filled with worry. "Brother Heng, I'm afraid... Is it because I've been weak for so many years that I haven't gotten pregnant?"

Emperor Shenwu's heart skipped a beat. After all, it was because of him that Ruo Ruo was so weak. He hugged Lan Qingwu tightly and said, "No, wait a few days. I'll have Nie Wushuang take your pulse again. I dote on Ruo Ruo so much, Ruo Ruo will get pregnant sooner or later."

Lan Qingwu understood a little more clearly that if she became pregnant, her status would surely rise again. Then anyone who wanted to harm her would have to think twice. Sometimes a high status was a natural protection. Perhaps these emperors had already thought of this for her.

Lan Qingwu lay in the emperor's arms and slowly fell asleep again.

Emperor Shenwu's heart was stirred by Lan Qingwu's words. He summoned Nie Wushuang privately, his face solemn. "Imperial Physician Nie, I want to ask you, Concubine Yi has always been weak. Is this also the reason why she has not been pregnant?"

Nie Wushuang felt somewhat helpless and could only ponder and answer: "Your Majesty, this is not absolute. It still depends on the harmony of yin and yang. Sometimes it is timing and fate. It all depends on the cause."

Emperor Shenwu looked at Nie Wushuang with dissatisfaction. What he said was nonsense. He knew in his heart that ever since Lan Qingwu entered the palace, he spent most of his time and energy on Lan Qingwu every month. He only summoned other concubines two or three times a month. Why were other concubines pregnant from time to time, but Lan Qingwu had such a hard time?

Nie Wushuang also complained silently in his heart, Your Majesty, I know what I said is nonsense, but there is no way. Can I still say that it is because Your Majesty dotes on Concubine Yi too much? He still wants his head.

Nie Wushuang, under pressure from the emperor, thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, sometimes being too nervous and expectant can actually affect your body and mood, making it harder to conceive. You should calm down, stay relaxed, and let nature take its course. Perhaps your wish will come true."

Emperor Shenwu seemed to be thinking about something, then ordered, "Tomorrow, you will take Concubine Yi's pulse again and report back to me."

Nie Wushuang immediately responded.

In the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Li was not in a good mood at the moment. When she wasn't smiling, she looked stiff and serious. Seeing Concubine Li cautiously bringing tea over, she felt even more unhappy. She couldn't help but think of Lan Qingwu again: "Alas, Concubine Yi is weak. She has been ill for two days."

Behind her, Nanny Li hurriedly picked up the peach blossom cake on the table, her face full of smiles: "It seems that the Empress Dowager has been missing Concubine Yi since she last saw her for two or three days. Concubine Yi also missed you, the Empress Dowager. Concubine Yi was so thoughtful that she even ordered someone to make peach blossom cake for you during her illness. Look at this exquisite cake, it doesn't look like a cake at all, it's clearly a fresh flower."

Empress Dowager Li felt a little relieved. "This child is really thoughtful! Oh, look at this pastry, it's the only one of its kind in the harem. I think this child has put all his thoughts into eating, drinking and having fun."

Listening to Empress Dowager Li's intimate words that were openly derogatory but secretly praising, Li Guiren felt extremely uncomfortable. If someone didn't know, they would have thought that Concubine Yi was the Empress Dowager's niece. She tried her best to please and serve her every day, but she couldn't get a single good word from her.
