Imperial Concubine Mei didn't give him any face. When the emperor woke up, she was just putting on an act. Now that even the emperor was in this state, she couldn't be bothered to respond. He lowered his head to wipe away his tears, secretly watching the expression on the woman's face, then glancing at the sleeping Emperor.

Of course the empress was aware of Imperial Concubine Mei's usual posturing, so she shot an unhappy glance at her before walking over to the emperor's side. She sat down and silently watched the man sleeping soundly on the bed.

Would he wake up?

With reddened eyes, she felt a sense of guilt. If there had been no other women around him, perhaps he would not have been as miserable as he was today.

When would a man learn to cherish?

Resisting the tears that were about to fall, she tried her best to swallow them back down, and a calm smile appeared on her face. She slowly opened her mouth and asked, "When was the last time the Emperor woke up?"

"To reply esteemed empress, it's already been two days since His Majesty woke up. Last time, it was about five hours." The imperial physician who was following behind him replied in a low voice. He had no idea what the emperor's symptoms were anymore.

"What kind of illness did the emperor suffer from? Why would such a situation occur?" The empress gently caressed the emperor's face. For this man, besides feeling heartache, she could only grumble.

However, every time she closed her eyes, the image of the Ghost Face would appear in her mind. Ever since she had changed her appearance that day, she discovered that the man's temperament had also changed by quite a bit, becoming extremely mysterious. It was as though a terrifying conspiracy was approaching, and she couldn't find any evidence to prove it.

"Reporting to the empress, the emperor's body is fine. It's just that he's been sleeping for a long time and his body is a little weak." The imperial physician did not answer directly. He did not want to move his head.

Very smart!

Because of her intelligence, the empress deliberately looked at him and made a mental note of the man she had never noticed.

The imperial physician didn't hear the empress's reaction and gradually relaxed in mid-air. He stood by the side with his back bent, not daring to raise his head.

Imperial Concubine Mei disagreed, her reaction was very strong. He raised his head and yelled at the imperial physician without caring about his image, "What do you mean 'nothing serious'? How can a normal person sleep that many hours a day? Is this how the imperial physicians share their worries for the emperor? "

The empress was startled by Imperial Concubine Mei's sudden action, but recovered quickly. He boldly retorted to Imperial Concubine Mei's actions, "Does this mean that little sister has a way to wake His Majesty up faster? "If that's the case, little sister, you are too selfish. You made big sister shed so many tears for no reason."

Imperial Concubine Mei was speechless, her mouth agape as she stared at the empress. He pulled at the silk scarf with all his might, feeling the hatred in his heart!

It didn't matter even if she hated him. Right now, she could fight against the empress in the palace, but outside the palace, her status wasn't as high as the empress. Therefore, before Qi'er returned, she could only endure!

"If your sister doesn't have any good methods, then listen to the imperial physician, and leave!" The empress glared at Imperial Concubine Mei and waved a hand at the imperial physician.

"Thank you, esteemed empress!" The imperial physician cupped his hands and withdrew.

The empress waved her hand again, and the girls all backed out the door, closing it behind them. In the room, only the emperor and two women remained. The emperor had fallen asleep, and the two women stared at each other with hatred in their eyes.

Their gazes met, their eyes filled with unrestrained killing intent. If this wasn't the palace, then they would probably be like ordinary shrew fighting each other.

Cough cough!

The Emperor's sudden cough brought the two women back to their senses. They pretended to lie down on the bed and cried out in unison, "Your Majesty!"

The Emperor lay motionless in his previous position, not responding at all to the cries of the two men.

Seeing this, their faces darkened again. Imperial Concubine Mei stood up, intending to 'chatter' with the empress today.

The empress looked at her with a serious expression. The haughty aura had completely overshadowed her.

Without saying a word, she looked out the window as a familiar figure flashed by. Her entire person seemed to be even more spirited than before. He turned around and shouted at Imperial Concubine Mei, "As the crown prince, it's not proper to not share the worries of the emperor in the imperial palace!"

"Doesn't that suit you, sister?" Imperial Concubine Mei retorted boldly.

"Humph!" The empress grunted in displeasure.

"Big sister, stop dreaming! Heaven's life is good, your Jie`er is afraid …" Imperial Concubine Mei's sharp words came back as she glared at the empress complacently.

"You!" The empress was so angry that her hands were shaking. She wanted to curse, but heard the emperor cough, and could only suppress her anger.

"What's wrong with elder sister? Was my sister wrong? " Of course Imperial Concubine Mei would not let go of this chance to gossip. She pretended to sigh helplessly, "Ah …" "If your fate is good, there's nothing you can do."

"Don't get ahead of yourself." The empress could not take it anymore, the anger in her eyes turning into murderous intent.

Imperial Concubine Mei rolled her eyes, and said sarcastically, "How can little sister get ahead of herself. Little sister entered the palace earlier than little sister, and became the country's successor. The heavens are fair, sister's first birth gave birth to the first princess, and she is destined to not have any fate with the crown prince. "

"Humph!" The Queen laughed ironically. She shook the silk scarf and replied, "So what if he is the crown prince? Does he remember you after he married you? "

"Who said it? Our family's little sister is even more caring than our daughter." Imperial Consort Mei almost couldn't hold it in and took a deep breath. She retorted with interest, "Jie Er and Ye'er aren't young anymore and are still unmarried. Tsk tsk tsk tsk … Your sister can understand how jealous she is. "

"You … I... Our Jie'er will be a man of honor sooner or later. Even if we were to go, we wouldn't marry a woman as young as Xiaoxiao. " The empress couldn't take it anymore. Other than battle spirit, the two women also had big eyes. They put their hands on their hips and used the cultivation experience of a bitch.

Maybe the two women's fight had scared the daydreams out of her mind. Xuanyuan Zhenhua turned over and faintly opened his eyes.

"Huang …" "Your majesty!" The queen's expression was one of surprise, but no joy could be seen.

When Imperial Concubine Mei heard that the emperor had woken up, she didn't care what sort of status he had. She pushed him aside and threw herself into his arms, crying lovingly, "Your majesty, you've finally woken up. Your majesty, you've frightened this concubine."

He deserved to be called an expert at acting. Just a moment ago, he was blushing red to the ears and now, he had turned into a tear-stricken person. The empress who watched from the side was furious.

"Ruo Shui!" Xuanyuan Zhenhua whispered Imperial Concubine Mei's name.

It was as if the introduction of this title, which had been sealed for many years, gave Imperial Concubine Mei a great sense of comfort. She was so moved that tears almost fell from her eyes. She tightly held the emperor's hand and looked at him with tearful eyes. "Your majesty, your majesty!"

The emperor patted the back of her hand with his other hand and said with a faint smile, "I just slept for a long time. It's fine, it's fine!"

"Your majesty, do you feel any discomfort?"

The empress came back to her senses and threw herself on the bed, her face full of concern. Despite her majesty, she spoke gently.

The Emperor moved his neck and slowly propped himself up. With a single glance, he could tell the killing intent between the two women. It seemed like it wasn't an illusion just now, but the two women were bickering with each other. If he didn't wake up, would they start fighting right beside him?

He remained calm and collected. This kind of scene had been going on for so many years. If he didn't want to continue, the only possibility was that another one of them had been annihilated. Therefore, he could only look on helplessly as this pair of sworn sisters died.

Family love, how rare was it in this palace. After waking up for a short time, he hadn't seen Qi'er, nor Jie'er, not even a tiny thing.

Are they all right?

He really wanted to ask Imperial Concubine Mei, but he hesitated.

Outside the door, Xiaoxiao was filled with joy. She carried a small tray of delicious food and came to the entrance. When she saw Imperial Concubine Mei and the empress's personal maidservant, the happiness on her face was like a bucket of cold water being poured over them.

"Wuu … wuu …" "Woo woo!"

The little thing saw that Xiaoxiao was not going to leave, so it raised its head up and let out a loud cry. It opened its little mouth and walked in carelessly.

"Hello …" You... You little bastard, don't run! Don't run! " Xiaoxiao was scared out of her wits. The two tigers inside were not easy to deal with. If she angered them, the consequences would be unimaginable to most people.

Unexpectedly, the little thing went straight to the emperor's bed, and when Xiaoxiao caught up with it, it jumped into the emperor's blanket with all its might.

Ah!

The two women exclaimed and shouted loudly, "Someone come! Protect the king! Protect the king! "

Outside the door, guards rushed in with long swords in their hands and stood by the side of the bed with swords in their hands. Seeing this, she felt a little terrible, just like a deflated ball. She walked dejectedly to the bed and plopped down on her knees, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Little one, you …" Xuanyuan Zhenhua sat upright on his bed, unfazed by the sudden appearance of the snowball. Looking at the little thing sticking its head out and looking at the little thing, he knew that the little thing meant no harm.

Snowball was no fool. He shook his body and popped his little head out. He sat on the Emperor's lap and intimately licked his hand to show his friendliness.

"It's all just a small mistake, and it has scared royal father out of his wits." Xiaoxiao was almost lying on the ground when she saw the fearful eyes of the two women beside her.

"Nothing serious!" "Nothing serious!" Xuanyuan Zhenhua waved his hand and the guards obediently withdrew.

Haha! I knew royal father was the best!

She snickered and sneaked a peek at the two tigers beside her. The two ladies were staring at her with fire in their eyes.

She cleverly turned her head and pretended to kowtow three more times before daring to speak. "This little Ru Mang frightened esteemed empress and mufei. May esteemed empress and mufei punish him!"

The empress and Imperial Concubine Mei were infuriated, but they knew that the emperor doted on the little girl, so they didn't dare to do anything no matter how bold they were.

Upon seeing this, the empress showed her 'tolerance' towards the imperial mother and even faked it by stepping forward to help her up. "Since the emperor doesn't want to make a fuss about it, why would This Dowager punish you?"

The empress's hypocrisy gave Xiaoxiao goosebumps. The smile on her face became very stiff, and she had to flatter, "Thank you, esteemed empress!"

"Alright, alright, all of you have come to see me. I'm very happy!" As he spoke, Xuanyuan Zhenhua stood up with Snowball in his arms. In an instant, he was brimming with energy.

Seeing this, her small eyes scanned the surroundings in search of Ran Er's whereabouts. As expected, a pair of sharp eyes behind the curtain was looking in their direction. Following her line of sight, she found that the woman's gaze was focused on the snowball. Although she couldn't see the woman's expression, she could feel her apprehension towards the blood ball.
