Chapter 178 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 30
When Ling Xi woke up the next day, she found out that the emperor had fainted last night because of the incident involving Concubine Xian. He had been in a coma for several hours and had not woken up since.

Upon hearing the news, Ling Xi and Fu Cha Langya hurried to the Qianqing Palace.

Qianqing Palace.

When Fucha Langya and Ling Xi arrived, they happened to meet the Queen Mother.

Fucha Langya and Ling Xi: "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother looked at the two of them and said, "Get up."

"Why did the Queen and the Imperial Concubine come only now?" the Queen Mother asked again, her tone full of questioning.

Fu Cha Langya answered before Ling Xi did, "Your Majesty, I always close my palace early. The imperial concubine stayed in my Changchun Palace last night, so I didn't know about the emperor's affairs until this morning. It's my fault. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother was speechless after hearing Fu Cha Langya's words, and she felt that the Queen had changed a lot over the years.

"Forget it," the Queen Mother sighed, and several people waited outside the Yangxin Palace. After the imperial physician came out of the room, the Queen Mother asked seriously, "How is the emperor's health?"

The emperor was treated by the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, the best physician in the hospital. This director had gray hair and was trembling with cold sweat on his face.

He answered cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Emperor seems to have taken some special medicine, and has been taking it for a long time, at least a month. In my opinion, the Emperor has become addicted to this medicine. In addition, the Emperor has been stimulated, shocked and angry, and now he has signs of a stroke, and his life span has been shortened."

The judge hesitated for a long time, then made up his mind, closed his eyes, and gave this final diagnosis with a fearless attitude.

It is a good thing to say that it will shorten the emperor's lifespan. The emperor doesn't have much time left to live.

The Queen Mother was shocked and asked, "You mean the Emperor had a stroke?"

The judge made up his mind and answered honestly, "Yes."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. This was something no one had expected.

Ling Xi and Fu Cha Langya had never imagined that things would turn out this way. The emperor actually gave himself a stroke.

Fu Cha Langya asked in a deep voice: "When will the emperor wake up?"

The court ruled: "The emperor will wake up soon. As for what will happen after he wakes up, I cannot guarantee it."

The Queen Mother pondered for a long time and asked, "What kind of medicine did the Emperor take? Is there any solution?"

The judge hesitated for a while before speaking nervously, "Your Majesty, I am not sure what kind of medicine the emperor took, but I think the ingredients of this medicine are very similar to those of the Fushou Paste. I need to investigate further."

The judge had only seen people who took longevity cream and didn't know much about this thing, but the emperor's symptoms were indeed similar.

"Fu Shou ointment!"

The Queen Mother cried out in shock, but her expression turned into one of disbelief.

Ling Xi and Fu Cha Langya obviously knew what the longevity cream was, and both of them looked equally ugly.

The emperor really doesn't care about meat or vegetables, he has started using this thing.

The Queen Mother said sternly, "Find out for me who put this thing next to the Emperor."

Fu Cha Langya: "Yes, I obey your command."

Fu Cha Langya couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, as she was the one suffering at this time.

However, Fu Cha Langya investigated quickly and found out that the emperor had been served by Concubine Li for more than a month, so this situation was closely related to Concubine Li.

Soon, everything was revealed during the interrogation. Concubine Li did not want to cover up at all. After being caught, she told everything. Fu Shou Cream was originally given to the emperor by Concubine Xian in order to win favor. At first, it was only a little bit, and then the amount was increased again and again.

Concubine Li discovered this matter by accident. After she was presented to the emperor by Concubine Xian, she also asked someone to prepare a medicine similar to the Fushou Paste, and gave it to the emperor in large quantities every time. In just over a month, the emperor became addicted and could no longer quit.

Concubine Li was originally a palace maid in the Sizhiku. She just wanted to save more money and then leave the palace to see the free world.

But Empress Xian fell in love with her because of her appearance and wanted her to serve the Emperor. She was unwilling, so Empress Xian had people suppress her at all times and everywhere, making her isolated and helpless in the palace and bullied everywhere. Finally, she was forced to surrender to Empress Xian and become the woman she dedicated to the Emperor.

Therefore, she wanted to let Concubine Xian taste the price of having the favor of her beloved taken away by a lowly person like her, whom she looked down upon. She wanted to see how it felt when a person like her, whom she looked down upon in the past, stepped on her head, and let her also experience the pain of falling into hell.

She also wanted the emperor to know how it felt to have her life and dignity in the hands of others.

Concubine Li offends people everywhere because she doesn't want to make friends with others and doesn't want to accidentally hurt others.

She didn't want to offend the empress and the imperial concubine because when she was in the Sizhiku, the empress and the imperial concubine sent people to give them extra hot porridge and cotton clothes in winter, and gave them mung bean soup and medicine to prevent and treat heatstroke in summer. She didn't want the people she respected to think that she was a shameless woman. She wanted to be a good woman in this world, at least in the hearts of the empress and the imperial concubine.

When Fu Cha Langya announced the results of the investigation to the public, everyone sighed.

This Empress Xian deserves what she has done, everyone thought.

Ling Xi and Fu Cha Langya felt uncomfortable as yet another woman was ruined in this deep palace.

She could have waited until she was old enough to leave the palace, see the vast world outside, and find a husband of her dreams.
How many women have been ruined by this Forbidden City?

There are too many already, too many to count.

When the emperor woke up, he felt extremely uncomfortable all over, as if his meridians were broken one by one. The pain spread throughout his body, making him groan.

"The emperor has awakened!" The servants ran out cheering.

The emperor's eyes were filled with anger. He felt that the noise was too loud and his ears began to buzz. He frowned in annoyance and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

The emperor couldn't help but open his eyes wide before he finished speaking. Why couldn't he move his tongue?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his throat, but found that his hand seemed out of control.

He opened his eyes wide in horror. What was going on?

After a while, footsteps were heard outside. He turned his head with difficulty and saw the Queen Mother, Fucha Langya and others walking in. He felt annoyed and he didn't want to see them at this moment.

When Ling Xi and Fu Cha Langya saw the emperor's eyes, they rolled their eyes in their hearts. They also didn't want to see this damn emperor.

There was no warmth in the Queen Mother's eyes, only a hint of coldness: "Emperor, you are awake."

The emperor spoke with difficulty: "My Queen Mother, what happened to me?"

The Queen Mother replied calmly: "Emperor, you took too much Fushou ointment and had a stroke."

Ling Xi and Fu Cha Langya looked at the Queen Mother in surprise. She was speaking so directly? Aren't you afraid of angering the Emperor to death?

The emperor was really angry and said in a stern voice: "Impossible"

He was in the prime of his life, how could he have a stroke? It was impossible. The Queen Mother must have lied to him.

But the abnormalities in his mouth and hands reminded him that all this was real.

The Queen Mother said calmly, "I have summoned several important ministers to the palace. If the Emperor has anything to say, please speak to them."

After that, the Queen Mother had nothing more to say. The mother-son relationship between them had long been exhausted.
