Chapter 161 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 13
When the emperor arrived at Yongshou Palace, Jinzhong, who was beside him, wanted to pass on a message, but was stopped by the emperor. The maid outside hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects, but was also stopped by the emperor.

The emperor walked in quietly. Jinzhong behind him seemed to be hesitant to speak, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

He knew the truth about Master Ling's treatment, and he must not let the Emperor find out.

As soon as the emperor walked out of the door, he heard the voice of the maid in the room coaxing Concubine Ling to drink the medicine: "Your Majesty, it is better to drink this medicine while it is hot. The imperial physician ordered that it cannot be cooled."

The woman's tender and coquettish voice reached the emperor's ears: "Good Chunchan, this medicine is too bitter, I don't want to drink it. Prepare more candied fruits for me, and I will drink it."

Then, the maid's voice seemed to be helpless: "You can only take one. The imperial physician has ordered that you can't eat too much candied fruit. It will affect the efficacy of the medicine. Good medicine tastes bitter."

"No, it's not me who wants to eat this candied fruit, it's the baby in my belly that wants to eat it."

The emperor listened to the conversation inside. In this vast expanse of white snow, the conversation between them seemed warm and happy, full of warmth.

The emperor suddenly laughed. This little girl always seemed to live a good life.

Thinking of this, he lifted the thick curtain on the door and walked in.

"Princess Ling must not disobey the imperial physician's orders."

He spoke suddenly, which seemed to startle the people inside.

The emperor only saw Concubine Ling lying on the bed. Her face was very pale and weak, but there was a kind of fragile beauty in her that made people want to protect her.

There were two maids at the side. One of them was holding a medicine bowl with the black medicine still steaming from it, and the other was holding a plate of candied fruit, as if to let Concubine Ling eat the candied fruit immediately after she drank the medicine.

"Your servant pays homage to His Majesty." Chunchan and Lancui hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

The emperor said casually: "Get up."

Ling Xi wanted to stand up and greet him, but the emperor stopped her in time: "Princess Ling, please don't be so polite. The heir in your belly is the most important."

Ling Xi smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then, her eyes were red again, a tear was about to fall, her fair hands clasped the emperor's hand, and she said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, please don't come to me too often. I don't want to be called a witch by the people in the palace. As long as Your Majesty remembers me in his heart, I will be satisfied."

Seeing her aggrieved look and the tear in her eyes, the emperor felt guilty. After all, he was the one who deliberately spread these things and let them go: "Don't talk nonsense. I am here. If anyone dares to say that you are a demon concubine, I will kill them."

Ling Xi rolled her eyes secretly in her heart. This damn emperor is acting with her. Don’t think I don’t know that you spread all that news on purpose.

Although she rolled her eyes countless times in her heart, Ling Xi still looked affectionate on the surface. She smiled and said coquettishly, "Then Your Majesty, please don't lie to me. I will take it seriously."

The emperor looked at the clear and beautiful eyes of Concubine Ling in front of him, and his eyes secretly turned away.

He was a little afraid to look into her bright eyes, as if all the darkness in his heart had been illuminated and had nowhere to hide.

"Don't worry, I am the emperor, I will not lie."

"Your Majesty," Chunchan, who was standing by, saw that the medicine was getting cold, and said, "Your Majesty, the medicine is getting cold, it's time for the young lady to drink it."

Ling Xi smelled the strong smell of medicine, covered her nose, frowned her delicate eyebrows, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this medicine is too bitter, can I not drink it?"

The emperor found her cute because of her little temper.

The emperor held Ling Xi's hand and patted it soothingly: "Be obedient, this medicine is for the good of the child. If you are afraid of bitterness, eat a few more candied fruits."

Ling Xi: "Okay, Chunchan, give me the medicine."

Chunchan was overjoyed and quickly handed the medicine to Lingxi.

Ling Xi took the medicine bowl, took a sip, and frowned because of the bitterness. Lan Cui stuffed a candied fruit into Ling Xi's mouth in time, and the sweet candied fruit neutralized the bitter taste of the medicine.

Deep feelings, a dull mouth.

Ling Xi grabbed the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp.

"Lan Cui, water."

Ling Xi made a bitter face and quickly asked Lan Cui to give her some water.

Lan Cui quickly poured Ling Xi a glass of water.

Seeing that Ling Xi was feeling better, the emperor laughed at her teasingly: "It turns out that Lingpin doesn't like to drink bitter medicine."

Ling Xi complained: "Your Majesty, why are you still making fun of me? Besides, this medicine is so bitter, isn't Your Majesty afraid of the bitterness?"

The emperor didn't know how to answer.

The purpose of his visit had been achieved, and he smiled and said, "Since Lingpin has taken the medicine, you should have a good rest. For the sake of the baby in your belly, take good care of yourself. I will return to the Yangxin Palace first and visit Lingpin another day."

Ling Xi wished he would leave quickly: "Yes, I will see your Majesty off."

The emperor walked out of the room and left.

After making sure that the emperor was really gone, Ling Xi looked at Chunchan beside him and said, "Chunchan, bring the medicine bowl here."

As soon as Ling Xi received the medicine bowl, he vomited out the medicine he had just drunk.

There's nothing wrong with her body, so she naturally won't take medicine.

After all, all medicine is poisonous. Even though it is a medicine to preserve the pregnancy and even though she is 100% sure that nothing will go wrong, Ling Xi is still unwilling to drink it.

So, she kept the medicine in her mouth and didn't swallow it. Fortunately, the Dog Emperor didn't find out.

She didn't think that the Dog Emperor came to see her because he cared about her. She was afraid that Qi Ru's answer did not completely dispel his doubts, so he had to come and see it with his own eyes before he could completely dispel his doubts.

She looked at Chunchan and Lancui and said, "From now on, this medicine can only be handled by you two, and you have to bring it in personally."

Chunchan and Lancui looked at each other, then said firmly: "Yes."

After the emperor left Yongshou Palace, he breathed a sigh of relief as he walked on the road outside the palace.

He did still have doubts about Concubine Ling, but just now he saw her drink the medicine with his own eyes, and the doubts in his heart were completely gone.

When the emperor looked at the snow falling from the sky, he thought of Ruyi.

In the past, they often got together in winter to enjoy the snow, make tea around the fire, and read a book together.

He used to think that kind of days were very happy, but when he thought back on them at this moment, he didn't know why he felt nothing.

I guess it’s because I haven’t seen Ruyi for a long time, and my mood has changed.

After returning to the Yangxin Palace, the emperor called Li Yu and asked, "Li Yu, have you arranged everything for the cold palace?"

Li Yu bowed his body, lowered his head, his eyes flashed with hope, and replied: "Your Majesty, Aunt Yu Hu has arranged everything over there, and sent guards to protect them. It's been cold recently, so she also secretly sent charcoal and cotton clothes over. The matter was done very secretly, and no one else found out."

The emperor was relieved: "That's good."
