Chapter 40: The Emperor is in my heart

"It's the young lady! The young lady is awake!"

Pomegranate exclaimed in surprise.

Because of Shen Qingtang's sudden illness, the atmosphere in Fanghua Palace was a little gloomy. After she woke up, the whole palace became much brighter, as if the sun had come out after the clouds had parted.

Not only were Shi Liu and the others delighted, but even Concubine Liang who came to visit her was relieved.

"I'm glad you woke up." Concubine Liang patted her chest and walked to the bed with Shi Liu and the others. She asked with concern, "Do you feel any discomfort in your body now?"

At Concubine Liang's voice, everyone looked towards the person on the bed.

Carved wooden bed.

The delicate and fragile girl in sight, her eyelashes trembling as she opened her eyes, before she could see the person beside the bed clearly, she gasped in pain from the silver needle that pierced the acupuncture point on the top of her head.

hiss--

"pain!"

A tingling sensation came from the top of his head. Shen Qingtang subconsciously wanted to touch his head, but was sternly stopped.

"Don't move! The doctor is giving you an acupuncture."

"My lady, please be patient for a while. You can move only after I finish acupuncture for you." Doctor Zhang said as he inserted the silver needle steadily into the acupuncture point on the top of the head.

Shen Qingtang, who had just woken up from a coma, frowned slightly and looked very confused.

Why did you prick her with a needle?

Facing her misty eyes, Emperor Yuji saw what she was thinking at a glance, "You are sick, Doctor Zhang is treating you."

Emperor Yu Ji said as he sat down beside Shen Qingtang's bed.

"It's still a little hot." He touched Shen Qingtang's forehead, frowning for a moment, "Do you feel uncomfortable now?"

Feeling the warmth of the palm on his forehead, Shen Qingtang only now seemed to wake up from a dream, and his empty and confused eyes were gradually filled with the figure of his beloved.

"...Your Majesty?" Shen Qingtang stared at Emperor Yuji blankly, a crystal teardrop falling uncontrollably, and her dry voice was filled with uncontrollable grievance and discomfort, "It hurts."

"It hurts here."

As Shen Qingtang was speaking, she was about to touch her head again, but just as her wrist was lifted two inches off the bed, someone gently held it in the hand.

Emperor Yuji squeezed her wrist and said in a deep voice: "Just bear with it, it will be fine soon."

But she has been stabbed like a hedgehog? !

Shen Qingtang sniffed lightly, and the smell of medicine in the air immediately made her eyes red.

"Do I not need to take medicine after the acupuncture?" Shen Qingtang looked at Emperor Yuji with anticipation, but unfortunately her expectations were destined to be dashed.

The Emperor Yuji glanced over, "What do you think?"

He knew that Shen Qingtang didn't like taking medicine, but what he didn't expect was that even when he was almost terminally ill, he still refused to take medicine.

How much does she hate taking medicine?

Emperor Yuji gently squeezed his subordinate's slender white wrist. When his eyes swept over Imperial Physician Zhang, Concubine Liang also comforted him softly.

"Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. If you don't take the medicine, your body will probably be worn down."

"Empress Liang, Empress Liang..."

When Shen Qingtang suddenly heard Concubine Liang's voice, her beautiful eyes widened slightly. She turned her head slightly and then realized that not only Concubine Liang, but also Concubine Zhengui was there.

"…You are here too, Madam Imperial Concubine?"

Concubine Liang nodded with a smile, "Yier said you were sick, and I was worried, so I came to see you."

However, the gentler and more elegant Concubine Liang was, the colder Concubine Zhengui became.

"Why can't I come?" Concubine Zhengui said indifferently, "I thought that you, Concubine Daoshu, had burned your eyes. You only have the emperor in your mind. I didn't expect that you could see me and Concubine Liang. It's really hard for you."

hum!
What does it mean that the emperor is the only one in your heart?
Shen Qingtang's face flushed after hearing Concubine Zhengui's words. "Thank you for coming to visit me with Concubine Liang. I am very touched, but -"

Shen Qingtang bit her lip and glanced at Emperor Yuji, who looked calm as usual. She then explained in a soft voice.

"Your Majesty is sitting next to me. If I can't see him even though he's so close, then my eyesight must be really bad."

Yup!

She is the emperor's woman. If she doesn't have the emperor in her heart, that would be a problem!
As Shen Qingtang spoke, the tips of her ears turned red with embarrassment.

The look he gave to Emperor Yuji was filled with deep affection that was difficult to conceal.

They are all the emperor's concubines. When Concubine Liang saw her acting like a little girl, she was dazed for a moment, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

What is the difference between them when they were young and just came out of the boudoir and the noble ladies now?
When facing the person you love, you are naturally full of love, but time flies and people are not the same as before.

Concubine Liang felt a sense of emotion for a moment. Now that Concubine Shu's condition had improved, she chose to leave on her own initiative in order to avoid being misunderstood as vying for favor.

Before leaving, she did not forget to invite Concubine Zhengui to visit her Changchun Palace.

"My Lady, would you mind coming to my Changchun Palace and having a seat?"

Concubine Zhengui looked at Shen Qingtang, who was looking at her little daughter shyly on the bed, curled her lips silently, rolled her eyes and rejected Concubine Liang's invitation.

"Wouldn't it be nice for me to go back to my own Minghua Palace?"

If Concubine Liang is proficient in the Eighteen Martial Arts, then she wouldn't mind going to Changchun Palace.

It’s a pity that Concubine Liang only knows how to grow flowers!

Concubine Zhengui was impatient to stay in the Fanghua Palace filled with love. After rejecting Concubine Liang, she turned around and walked away without even saying a word to Emperor Yuji.

However, Emperor Yu Ji did not even blame her for her arrogance and rudeness.

Concubine Liang's eyes flashed, and she bowed to Emperor Yuji.

"With Your Majesty accompanying Concubine Shu, I believe Concubine Shu's condition will soon improve. In this case, I will take my leave first." Concubine Liang smiled at Shen Qingtang, "You should take good care of yourself. I will come to see you another day."

Not long after Concubine Liang left, Imperial Doctor Zhang took Shen Qingtang's pulse and found that her condition had stabilized, so he removed the silver needles from her head one by one.

"Lady Shu, although your fever has subsided, there is no guarantee that it will not recur at night. For your health, you still need to take this medicine on time."

As soon as Doctor Zhang finished speaking, the medicine bowl in Shi Liu's hand fell into the hands of Emperor Yu Ji.

It is a great honor to be fed medicine by the emperor himself.

Doctor Zhang took a stunned look at them, then quickly packed up his things and was politely escorted out of Fanghua Palace by Fu'an.

Shen Qingtang, who had finally finished drinking a bowl of medicine, was about to lie down on the bed feeling exhausted when he was hugged by Emperor Yuji.

Shen Qingtang buried his face in the broad and solid chest of Emperor Yuji, and said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, Tang'er will infect you with the disease, I can lie down and get well by myself."

Shen Qingtang twisted her body slightly, and before she could get out of Emperor Yu Ji's arms, he grabbed her vital points at the waist.

"do not move."

She is ticklish.

He didn't dare to move anymore and could only lie obediently in the arms of Emperor Yuji.

Emperor Yuji was very pleased that she was so obedient.

He held up Shen Qingtang's pale and delicate cheek with one hand, and his deep phoenix eyes looked straight into her clear eyes with distinct black and white.

"I heard that your illness is caused by mental damage. My beloved concubine, what worries you? Why don't you tell me?"

As he spoke, his deep voice became even colder.

"But what did the Queen tell you today?"
