Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

In the bedroom.

The emperor woke up after Shen Li's emergency treatment. Seeing Fang Yao coming in, he raised his hand weakly, motioning him to come to the front, and said softly, "Go, order someone to put the queen under house arrest. Don't let anything happen to her. When I feel better, I will interrogate her myself."

Fang Yao bent down and tucked the quilt in for the emperor. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already done this. Not only the Empress, but even Xiao Zhao is under guard. I guarantee that nothing will go wrong. Your Majesty, just focus on recuperating. When you are well again, I will interrogate them one by one."

The emperor gasped for breath for a long time before he finally calmed down. He closed his eyes tiredly and lay down on the bed, "I'm sorry for the Chu family and my first wife..."

Fang Yao had been listening with his head bowed. Seeing that the emperor had not spoken for a long time, he turned around and saw that there was moisture in the corners of the emperor's eyes. He felt sad and quietly stepped back a few steps, leaving the emperor alone for a while.

In the outer hall, Shen Li was taking out a few bottles of asthma inhalers from the medicine box and handing them to Eunuch Chang, and warned, "This medicine can only be used for emergency treatment. I will get you some other medicine later. Remember to take it for the emperor every day."

"Okay, yes," Eunuch Chang looked at Shen Li gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Shen. Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise, ah..."

Otherwise, the emperor would have almost died, but he didn't dare say this.

There was no long-acting medicine in Shen Li's medicine box, and she couldn't go into the space to get it in front of so many people, so she found an excuse to go out. When she came back, there were budesonide and other drugs in the medicine box.

When Shen Li took out the medicine and handed it to Eunuch Chang, she asked curiously, "I remember the emperor had medicine here. If you take it regularly and in the right amount, it should be able to control the disease. Why did it come back again?"

Eunuch Chang looked at her medicine box in confusion. He had seen it when Shen Li opened the medicine box to provide emergency treatment for the emperor. There were no medicines in it. But when Miss Shen came back after going out, there were some. Could it be that the medicine box was a treasure chest?

She was still muttering in her heart, but she didn't ask. She only said worriedly, "The medicine the general left here should have been enough, but the emperor took out three boxes and gave them to the Imperial Hospital, asking them to see if they could detect the type and dosage of the medicine inside. If they could develop it, everyone in the Great Zhou who suffers from this kind of disease would have a chance of survival. Without these three boxes of medicine, the general should have sent some more to the palace, but he didn't return from his patrol, and Miss Shen couldn't enter the palace because of the empress's detention, so the emperor saved the remaining medicine for now. I didn't expect that I would have it happen again last night because of my anger and excitement. Sigh."

As the two were talking, Fang Yao came out quietly and waved at them, signaling them not to speak.

"Are you asleep?" Shen Li asked with her mouth.

Fang Yao nodded, shook his head, and asked the two to follow him out.

As soon as he got outside, he said to Eunuch Chang, "The Empress Dowager doesn't know about the Emperor's illness yet, but I don't think it can be concealed for much longer. So, send someone with a sweet tongue to tell the Empress Dowager. Remember to tell her first that the Emperor is fine, and then slowly explain what happened last night. This way, she won't be frightened."

Eunuch Chang bowed hurriedly and said, "Yes, this old servant knows."

Fang Yao hummed a sigh of relief and said gravely, "At this point, the Empress Dowager is the only one the Emperor can trust. As for the princes and concubines... I've ordered guards at all intersections leading to the Purple Palace. Without the Empress Dowager's and Marquis Guanyong's approval, they won't be allowed to enter the chambers. Go back and give the eunuchs a lecture on what they should and shouldn't do. Tell them to be more careful, so they don't make the wrong choice and lose their lives."

"Yes," Eunuch Chang shuddered, quickly straightened his back, and said, "Don't worry, General. I understand."

Fang Yao waved his hand and asked him to go down.

Then he said to Shen Li, "The old prime minister and Shen Zhaojiang were outside just now, saying that the Yao family went to Shen Shaokun early this morning to ask for compensation. The old prime minister and Shen Zhaojiang seemed to have figured out something was wrong. After all, Xiao Zhao and Shen Shaokun were so far apart, but they said exactly the same thing. They both said that you kidnapped her. The old prime minister also asked me if I knew martial arts, but I didn't admit it."

"He said he knew it was you who did the affair between Xiao Zhao and the ruffian, but he didn't intend to interfere. He said that, and my uncle believed him. The old prime minister is a man of high power and status in the Great Zhou, but he never seeks personal gain and is only devoted to the court and the people. Otherwise, his two sons-in-law would not choose to go through the Chongguo Mansion instead of him. He is really not reliable."

"No matter how much the old prime minister and Shen Zhaojiang know about you, your uncle doesn't care. You don't have to be afraid. No one dares to do anything to you. But Shen Zhaojiang, Xiao Zhaoshi, and Shen Shaokun..."

He was just thinking about what to say when Shen Li suddenly said, "Do they have any evidence?"

Fang Yao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, okay, okay, uncle asked them the same question. Do you have any evidence? Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Be careful not to accuse them of framing you. Okay, hahaha, okay, she is my niece after all, she is smart."

Shen Li added with a smile, "If they dare to go out and talk nonsense, we can say that they planned to frame me in order to get away with it."

Fang Yao laughed until tears came out. "Uncle has already said so. Hahahaha, Li'er and uncle really think alike. Okay, let's do it this way. Let them suffer in silence."

"Uncle is right. Li'er thought exactly like that," Shen Li said. "Li'er spared Xiao Zhao's life so that she could see with her own eyes her son being thrown into prison and beaten, and she couldn't save him. This would make her extremely anxious, heartbroken, and desperate. As long as the old prime minister and Shen Zhaojiang dare to help Shen Shaokun escape punishment, I will let Shen Shaokun cause even greater trouble. There will always be a time when they can't handle it. Let's see who can outlast the other."

She said these words to vent her anger, but sadness gradually filled her eyes. "I want her to experience the despair that my mother and I once experienced once, twice, three times..."

"Her drug effects should have worn off by now, and she should be clear-headed. I warned her last night that if she did anything wrong again, her son would atone for her sin yesterday, and today it will be her daughter's turn, and the day after tomorrow it will be her son's, and so on. She saw it with her own eyes last night. I mean what I said, and it depends on whether she dares to take the risk."

"Even if she risked her life and said something nonsense, no one would believe it. Li'er deliberately arrested her and Shen Shaokun yesterday..."

Shen Li almost said the word "space" when she quickly changed her words, "They took them to where Li'er hid her things, took them to the gambling house, and then threw Xiao Zhao into the Queen's bedroom. The more bizarre the story, the less people will believe it when they tell it. Let's see how anxious they are."
