C19 It's Not the Same

"Better let the physician examine it."

Chi Hongze noticed her resistance and frowned. He immediately hugged her tightly.

A trace of displeasure appeared in her eyes. The woman in his arms gave him a strange feeling.

Even though he was holding her in his arms, the two of them were extremely close to each other, yet it felt as if they were thousands of miles apart.

"Don't move. Let the doctor check you."

Looking at the pale face in his arms, the black and white eyes were trembling like a butterfly spreading its wings.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Yun Zhiyu had always been sharp as a sword. When had he ever seen her so weak?

Yun Zhiyu smiled bitterly. Waiting for the imperial doctor to examine her was like sitting on a pincushion.

"The Empress's body is fine. It's just that the Empress's injuries have yet to recover from the cold. Tonight, when she fell into the water, the typhoid fever worsened. I'm afraid she will need to recuperate for a while before she can recover."

After that, the doctor left.

Seeing that the two of them were so close, Noble Consort Hui could not help but want to separate the two of them, "I still have a few immortal mushrooms with me. I will send someone to bring them to the Empress tomorrow."

"Wait." Seeing that Noble Consort Hui was about to leave, she suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Is Noble Consort Hui talking about the thousand-year-old ganoderma that the Emperor gave me on his birthday last year? I've heard that the thousand-year-old ganoderma is a medicine that can cure diseases and can't be bought with money. What's even more amazing is that the ganoderma has the effect of beautifying a woman's face. "

She was surprised, but in her heart, she sneered. She naturally knew that Noble Consort Hui was just casually saying that the thousand-year-old ganoderma in her previous life was even more valuable than her own flesh.

Even when it was rotten, she couldn't bear to take a bite, so how could she give it away?

It was just that when he saw Noble Consort Hui rushing over in such a timely manner, he insisted that she and Jun Wuyao were both in the water.

She was sure that Noble Consort Hui was the one who fell into the water.

She had only framed someone and wanted to pretend that nothing had happened.

Hmph, although I can't get rid of Noble Consort Hui this time, I must cut off a piece of her flesh!

"This... I naturally want to give it to you. It's just that this ganoderma was given by the Emperor and has an extraordinary meaning. I..."

Noble Consort Hui's expression changed. How could she give that precious ganoderma to him?

"Cough cough, could it be that Noble Consort was just saying it casually and didn't really want to give it to me?"

Yun Zhiyu spoke in a gentle voice. Suddenly, she coughed violently twice and laid on the bed weakly.

Chi Hongze frowned unhappily. He had already guessed that today's matter was related to Noble Consort Hui. He thought to himself, "The Empress is the head of the six palaces and works day and night. Now that the Empress's body is cold, the concubines in the harem should naturally help the Empress solve her problems."

Seeing that the emperor had spoken, Noble Consort Hui smiled and said, "Then I will send someone to deliver it to the Empress tomorrow."

She secretly calculated that other than the emperor and her, no one else in the harem had ever seen that thousand-year-old ganoderma.

When she was changing the ganoderma, the Empress, who was the daughter of a general, had never seen any good herbs, so how could she recognize it?

Seeing through Noble Consort Hui's thoughts, Yun Zhiyu said softly: "Noble Consort, I heard that the ganoderma has a strange shape and is covered in a layer of red light. Noble Consort, please don't give it to the wrong person."

The smile on Noble Consort Hui's lips froze. How did the Empress know so much about that ganoderma?

To take out that thousand-year-old ganoderma was like gouging out a piece of meat from her body.

Noble Consort Hui endured the pain and gritted her teeth, "Yes, I will definitely not give it to the wrong person."

"Rest well, Empress. I will come back another day."

Chi Hongze gently tucked her in and got up to leave.

Just as he took a step out of the palace, he turned his head slightly and the eunuch beside him immediately stepped forward.

"Investigate carefully. Has the Empress seen King Rui today?"

After everyone left, Lianye walked in with a pot of herbs.

"Your Majesty, you've suffered."

After frowning and drinking the herbs, Yun Zhiyu took the candied fruit and relaxed her brows.

Looking at Lianye, she also seemed to be looking into the distance, "Is this bitterness also considered bitterness?"

Compared to what she had experienced in her previous life, this was just a drop in the ocean.

After this storm, her eyes seemed to be clearer.

Since she saved Lan Fei, things had changed.

In her previous life, she had never met the King Rui and Jun Wuyao in the imperial garden, let alone have any contact with him.

Noble Consort Hui also did not use oil to plot against her, much less...

Her eyes darkened. It seemed that she had really changed.

Seeing her in a daze, Lianye said softly:

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that King Rui to be so powerful. He actually guessed that someone was trying to harm you, and lured away those despicable people who were staring at you. He calculated the time so that you would fall into the water before the emperor arrived. This time, he really slapped Noble Consort Hui in the face!"

When Noble Consort Hui was mentioned, Lianye was so angry that she muttered.

"Lianye!" Yun Zhiyu's voice suddenly raised, interrupting Lianye's muttering. She frowned, "Be careful that the walls have ears."

He carefully took Lianye's hand and whispered, "You have to remember, there are no airtight walls in the palace, whether in Phoenix Palace or outside, if you speak too much, you will make mistakes, do you understand?"

Lianye nodded repeatedly, a trace of regret flashing across her heart. It was all her fault for being impatient and asking the Empress to remind her. It would be bad if she really caused trouble for the Empress.

A splash in the water disturbed a banquet. A few days later, Chi Hongze, as an apology, organized another banquet and sent a few carefully selected beautiful dancers to Jun Wuyao.

However, there was no consensus regarding the military discussion between the two countries.

Jun Wuyao was not in a hurry either. He lived in the mansion that Chi Hongze had arranged for him outside the palace, playing every night and accompanied by dancers.

Everything in the palace seemed to be enveloped in peace and quiet.

After the cold spring wind passed, hundreds of flowers bloomed in the palace. A few willow trees leaned against each other, and the spring wind blew up the willow leaves.

The willow catkins were white like snow and were just like the white dress of the female in the palace.

The girl's waist wasn't even enough to hold.

Her ink black hair was combed high into the clouds and the pear blossoms in her hair made her face even more beautiful.

"Empress, are we really going to the Cold Palace? I heard that it's cold and broken. Palace Woman Ann went there for less than half a year before she was driven crazy, biting and scolding everyone she saw."

Lianye shrunk her neck, blinking in fear.

Worthy Lady Lan was also following by the side of the woman in white. Hearing Lianye's words, she looked at Yun Zhiyu, wanting to say something, but hesitated. After a long while, she said softly, "Empress, are you really going to the Cold Palace to see Palace Woman Ann? Palace Woman Ann was... She was only locked up half a year ago after framing the Empress... "

"Yes." Yun Zhiyu replied indifferently, and took Worthy Lady Lan's hand, "That's why I should go and see her."

When these words came out, Worthy Lady Lan was shocked and subconsciously wanted to retract her hand.

Half a year ago, it was precisely because Palace Woman Ann contradicted the Empress that she was stripped of her title and locked up in the Cold Palace.

It could be said that the Palace Woman Ann had been driven mad, and although it was not the doing of the Empress, she had only entered because she had been accused of framing the Empress by Lady Hui.

According to the palace servants, the Palace Woman Ann blamed all her anger on the Empress, cursing every night until she lost her mind.

"We're here."

Worthy Lady Lan was in a daze. When she raised her head, she saw that most of the paint on the worn-out plaque of the West Palace had fallen off.

Before she could step in, the hoarse cries of a few women could be heard from inside.

The creaking sound was like an old beard.
