Chapter 498 Qianlong's Succession 8
"Come here, bring some of that wine! And invite Concubine Ling over."
After saying this, Xue Li sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Qianlong, crying silently.
When the servants heard this, their faces became even uglier.
Wang Jinbao hurried to get the wine.
Chen Jinzhong stared in amazement at the eunuchs and then at Hailancha who was standing beside them.
Hailancha paused and took a step forward.
"The Emperor has surrounded and guarded the Misty Rain Pavilion today because he made the Imperial Concubine angry."
As soon as these words came out, the servants below all lowered their heads.
"Did she do something?" Xue Li's face was confused.
"Well, the emperor has given an order, and I dare not ignore it." Hailancha bowed and said nothing more.
Xue Li's face was full of panic, but she tried to remain calm.
The servants and imperial doctors below were caught up in all kinds of speculations.
"You guys please step back and let's discuss how to diagnose and treat the disease first!" accompanied by a somewhat old voice.
Xueli knew that the Queen Mother had arrived.
"Your concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager..." Xue Li paid her respects to the Empress Dowager with moist eyes, but was interrupted by the Empress Dowager.
"Okay, stop with all the empty formalities! What exactly happened? Did Wei Jia damage the dragon's body?" The Queen Mother's face was kind, but her tone was filled with hatred.
At this moment, looking at the emperor lying there unconscious.
The Queen Mother instantly burst into tears.
Hailancha was still hesitating, and Xueli considerately asked Zhuling to leave.
The aunt beside the Queen Mother took a look and also withdrew.
Hailancha saw that only Xueli and the Queen Mother were in the palace, so he knelt down and saluted, with a face ready to die: "The Imperial Concubine Ling was having an affair with a traitor, and was caught by the Emperor."
"What did you say? That bitch!" The Queen Mother's fingers trembled with anger. "Is it true?"
As she spoke, the Queen Mother glanced at Xue Li vaguely.
Xue Li covered her mouth the whole time with a look of horror!
"Yes, it's true. Perhaps that servant has been with Concubine Ling for some time. Your Majesty saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears!" Hailancha lowered his head and dared not say a word.
Xue Li looked at Hai Lan and the Queen Mother in disbelief, and was somewhat speechless.
"What did you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears?"
The empress dowager was so angry that she was swaying as she stood there. After hearing this, there was nothing she didn't understand, even those imperial grandchildren... Xue Li hurried forward to support her.
"Empress Dowager, please don't be in any trouble. The Emperor has fainted, and he can't afford to be without you, his backbone!"
Xue Li's eyes were filled with tears as she spoke.
I am so moved. Her acting skills are at the level of a movie queen.
The Queen Mother was probably relieved after hearing what Xue Li said and patted Xue Li's hand.
"You are already so grown up. Hailancha, pass on my imperial decree: the imperial concubine is demoted to a commoner, and she starts kneeling in the Misty Rain Pavilion and getting slapped in the face. When the emperor wakes up, we will deal with her. As for that cunning slave, castrate him and treat him well. It's fine as long as he doesn't die!"
Hailancha's back stiffened: "Your Highness the Queen Mother and the Queen, your Highness the Imperial Concubine Ling and that traitor have been killed by the Emperor himself..."
Xue Li took a deep breath and looked at the Queen Mother hesitantly while holding the handkerchief.
The Queen Mother was even more dumbfounded. She said nothing for a long while, just nodded and stood by.
After all, having come to this point, it is conceivable that the bitch must have angered her prince.
Wang Jinbao, who went to the dragon boat race, asked his sons below about the wine that the emperor had used.
A smart-looking little kid nearby looked up and said he knew, then went to get it.
When Wang Jinbao brought the wine jug to Shuimoxuan.
Several imperial doctors examined and tasted each other's food.
When Ye Tianshi smelled one of the bottles, his face suddenly changed. Xue Li was also concerned and looked at it attentively.
"Doctor Ye, is there a problem?"
Ye Tianshi stroked his beard and passed it to a few colleagues to look at.
Doctor Huang's expression also changed, and he and Doctor Ye looked at each other in bewilderment...
"We need to observe the situation for a while longer!" Doctor Huang said nothing because he was afraid of upsetting the Empress Dowager and Xue Li.
Besides, the emperor might not want others to know...
Xue Li seemed to sense something was wrong and looked at them with suspicion on their faces.
It was just that a few imperial doctors looked at Xueli's ugly face and suddenly thought of the word "prostitute" that Xueli blurted out at that time...
I think of the rumors in recent days.
Perhaps several imperial doctors understood something.
He automatically attributed the problem of the dragon's weakness to the prostitutes.
The Queen Mother is now completely focused on her son.
I didn't even think about dealing with those prostitutes.
But she is old after all, and her body can't bear it.
Xue Li urged the Queen Mother to go to the side hall to rest, and she stayed with the Emperor.
The Queen Mother was satisfied, but still a little worried.
She was persuaded to leave by her aunt.
Xue Li felt Qianlong's pulse, then dug out some medicine from her own supplies and fed him a pill, which made his whole body ooze with pus.
Xue Li sat aside, eating and drinking, and looking at Qianlong's paintings when she had nothing to do.
Everything else is fine, except that there are too many stamps on this painting.
The next day, everyone in the court and the harem knew that the emperor had fainted at night.
The six ladies including Concubine Qing Lu, Concubine Rong and Concubine Zhuo, Concubine Yong and Concubine Ning as well as several new favorites from Jiangnan were all there.
His face was full of worry!
Several people asked about Concubine Ling. After all, Concubine Ling was the only one favored by the emperor in the past.
I was quite surprised not to see anyone at this moment.
However, a few people still started a lawsuit.
After all, if they didn't know anything else, how could they not know that Yanyu Pavilion was surrounded?
"The emperor is fine. Sisters, go back and copy scriptures to pray for him!" Xue Li came out and said, then continued to stand guard.
What a joke! She has been waiting all night. If she leaves now, wouldn’t the duck in her mouth have to fly away?!
It's good enough that she doesn't steal other people's credit, but how can she let others steal her credit?
Sure enough, Qianlong woke up in the morning.
Xue Li had already put on some haggard-looking makeup.
You can be haggard and pale, but you must be beautiful!
Humans are visual animals.
You should always be gentle to beautiful women.
Regardless of men and women.
When Xue Li saw Qianlong waking up, she burst into tears of joy.
She held Qianlong's hand and couldn't stop crying.
"Someone, come quickly, the emperor is awake!"
Qianlong was probably feeling upset because of the betrayal by his favorite concubine.
At this moment, I saw Xueli was worried about him and even cried.
Qianlong felt relieved after a long time. He patted the back of Xueli's hand and comforted her softly, "I'm fine, Jingtan, don't worry!"
"Shiro, if something happens to you, what should I do?"
Xue Li perfectly portrayed a weak and helpless woman.
As expected, Qianlong was heartbroken.
He tried to sit up and wiped Xueli's tears.
Not to mention, his hands are so big that if he slaps her, her little face will be stunned.
"Jingtan, you are so grown up, but you are still crying like a little girl!"
As Qianlong spoke, the two of them showed a long-lost warmth and affection.
"You really do dislike me for being too old!" Xue Li's eyes and nose were red and her eyes were filled with tears. After she said that, she turned away and refused to pay attention to him.
