C693 Inconceivable Doubt

Seeing Yan Shuo staring at his, the empress dowager was so excited that she cried tears.

"Muhou …"

Yan Shuo had to put in a lot of effort to make such a low sound, but his throat was already throbbing from the pain.

Ever since Kaiser and the empress dowager had quarreled over the incident with the phoenix crown and lake palace, Kaiser had already ignored the empress dowager for a few months. This time, the empress dowager could only laugh and cry at the same time.

"It's good that your son is fine. Don't say anything else for now, rest well."

Yan Shuo was indeed very tired, and his throat was also dry and aching. Hearing the empress dowager's words, he nodded and slowly closed his eyes.

He actually wanted to ask where Yun Jiao Rong had gone to, but he knew that his mother didn't like Yun Jiao Rong. Looking at the empress dowager's haggard face, he couldn't bear to make her sad or angry again.

Although he did not know what had happened to his body, he remembered that he had vomited a large pool of blood before passing out.

He didn't know why he was like that, but he couldn't help it.

There were also those who had called him a womanizer, a laborer who was rich, and an unscrupulous person. All of these things were told to him by his subordinates, but at the time, he didn't care at all, he just felt that these people were against him, and the more he didn't want these people to do as he pleased.

It was as if his heart was blocked by a wave of anger, and he was always wanting to find someone to vent his anger on.

Yan Shuo felt that he really needed to think about this matter carefully.

When Wang De came in while carrying the Kaiser's food, Yan Shuo rested for another fifteen minutes or so. During this time, the three Yan Shuo brothers and Liu Ruo Qing had also entered the palace.

In front of the empress dowager and the others, after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the food, Wang De served the Kaiser.

After eating some food, Kaiser felt a little more comfortable in his stomach. After a quarter-hour, Lu Yuan He went to fry some medicine for Kaiser to take.

"Mr. Lu, is the emperor sure there are no problems now?"

The Empress Dowager was worried and confirmed again.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, don't worry. The emperor is fine now, but this medicine will still need some time to heal. Add in some rest and you'll be healed."

The empress dowager heaved a sigh of relief when she heard such an affirmative answer from Lu Yuan He's mouth.

It was not only the empress dowager, but the others also relaxed after hearing that Yan Shuo was alright.

At the same time, none of them noticed that Yun Jiao Rong was hiding behind a curtain in a side hall that was just one wall away from the main hall. When she heard that Yan Shuo was fine, her eyes filled with tears, as if a heavy stone that had been pressing down on her heart, suddenly dropped down.

In the past few days, he had been feeling conflicted, hoping that Yan Shuo would quickly die and release him. At the same time, he was also hoping that Yan Yuan and the others would find a way to save Yan Shuo.

She stealthily glanced at the main hall, and then returned to the side hall.

When Yan Shuo woke up, it was already four hours later. The empress dowager and the others had already left the Chengde Palace.

Wang De was still dutifully guarding at the side. When he woke up, his body had unconsciously moved, which immediately attracted Wang De's attention.

"Your majesty, you're awake!"

Wang De was overjoyed. Under the indication of Yan Shuo's eyes, he helped him up, maybe because he took Lu Yuan He's medicine before he fell asleep. At this moment, Yan Shuo felt that his throat was not as hot as it was before.

He looked around him. The empress dowager was no longer in Chengde Palace, so he moved his lips, and asked with an especially hoarse voice, "Where's Rong Er?"

Wang De's face stiffened. Thinking about how Yun Jiao Rong had been tortured in the longevity palace a few days ago and was still recuperating from his injuries in the side hall, he did not know whether he should give a proper answer or not.

Yan Shuo saw that he was silent, a look flashed past his eyes, and his heart suddenly flashed with worry: "Where's Rong Er?"

His voice sank even deeper. His originally hoarse voice had now become even more hoarse.

Wang De's body trembled, he quickly knelt down, and replied while trembling in fear: "Miss Yun has worked hard these past few days, and is currently resting in the side hall. I'll go call her now."

"Rong Er is resting?"

Yan Shuo's voice glanced in the direction of the side hall, and once he heard that she wasn't troubled by his mother, he was relieved.

He waved his hand at Wang De and said, "Since Rong Er is resting, don't wake him up."

He got up to get off the bed, but Wang De hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but he was stopped by Yan Shuo. "We aren't that weak yet."

Outside the hall, the sun was shining brightly and the climate was just right. It was soon to be the start of summer, so Yan Shuo's mood also improved.

His gaze inadvertently swept over the palace attendants who were serving inside and outside the hall. He noticed that on their faces, there was a trace of fear and nervousness that was afraid of doing more than that.

Yan Shuo thought about his explosive and furious personality before he fainted, he had also killed a few servants in Chengde Palace before. He frowned, when he thought back to it now, he felt that he was actually so terrifying at that time.

If he thought about it carefully, he knew that his personality had suddenly changed. Something must have happened.

Thinking about this, he turned his head to look at Wang De, and asked: "What did Mr. Lu say about our situation?"

When Lu Yuan He was explaining to Yan Yuan and the others about Yan Shuo's situation, Wang De was also standing at the side.

After listening, Yan Shuo was silent for a few seconds, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Does royal uncle think that someone had done something to us?"

Wang De nodded his head, "Your Highness and the others said so. The medicine that the Mr. Lu gave the emperor to you was specially made to treat your symptoms."

Yan Shuo was silent for a long time, but did not say anything, and only thoughtfully looked at the door of the side hall. After staring for a few seconds, he quietly withdrew his gaze.

Seeing Yan Shuo walking out, Wang De immediately followed and supported him, "Your majesty, you have just woken up, why don't you lie down and rest?"

"No need, I'm fine. Follow me to the royal study."

He remembered that there were several stacks of memorials in his royal study that had never been replayed, and that he had been out of office for months.

He remembered all of this, but back then he had to go against everyone else. Now that he thought about it, there really was something wrong with him. He had been drugged.

But who was it?

Yan Shuo frowned. In his mind, an incredible name flashed past, but such a name only stayed in his mind for half a second before it disappeared.

He shook his head, thinking that he must be ill and confused. How could he have such incredible suspicions?
