Chapter 364 My Heart Is Like Yours
When Lan Qingwu woke up, it was already late at night. She gently opened her watery eyes, her eyes were confused and dazed, and it took her a while to realize where she was.
Emperor Shenwu had been guarding Lan Qingwu for a whole day. When he saw her wake up, he didn't say much and asked Ruhan to serve her another bowl of detoxifying medicine. He helped Lan Qingwu up and fed her half a bowl of medicine spoon by spoon.
Lan Qingwu drank until he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. He said listlessly, "Your Majesty, I won't drink any more!"
Emperor Shenwu's expression remained unchanged. "Are you afraid of suffering now? Why didn't you show any fear when the poisonous bees flew over you? And you dared to block them for me!"
Lan Qingwu felt she was in the wrong and didn't dare to say anything more. She lowered her head and whispered softly, "Your Majesty, Chu Ming is still here!"
The Sixth Prince had been watching over his mother all day, and seeing his father's expression now somewhat awkward, he coughed softly, "Mother, thankfully nothing serious happened to you today, and thankfully Xiaoqi and Yueyue didn't attend the banquet today. This can't happen again in the future!"
Lan Qingwu suddenly thought of something: "Chu Ming, are you okay? The stinger of that poisonous bee is very venomous and hidden. Have you checked it out? I wonder if Xiao Qi and Yue Yue are scared? Tell them not to come to pay their respects to the Queen Mother for the next two days! Also... Xiao Qi likes to kick the quilt when he sleeps at night, and Yue Yue might have a bad temper..."
Emperor Shenwu said expressionlessly, "What a good mother! She has considered everything except herself!"
Lan Qingwu's head drooped lower and lower, and he heard Emperor Shenwu say again: "Chen'er, you are also tired after a day, go back to your own palace!"
The Sixth Prince quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Lan Qingwu: "Yes! Father and Mother, I will take my leave!"
After the Sixth Prince left, Lan Qingwu reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the Shenwu Emperor: "Brother Heng, don't be angry! I won't dare to do it again next time!"
Emperor Shenwu raised one of his sword-like eyebrows: "There will be a next time!"
Lan Qingwu suddenly cried out in pain: "Brother Heng, my hand still hurts a little. Is it because the swelling in my weak hand hasn't subsided yet?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor carefully lifted Lan Qingwu's arm. The redness and swelling had subsided a lot. Lan Qingwu took the opportunity to snuggle into the Emperor's arms: "Okay, Brother Heng, Ruo Ruo is much better now!"
The Emperor Shenwu finally stopped and suddenly he sighed softly, "Wei Ruo, you have a special physique, and this poison is harder to clear than for others. You just endured all this suffering for me, but do you know how I felt when I saw you fall in my arms? Do you know how much Chen'er and I blame ourselves! We want to protect you behind us, not let you get hurt!"
Lan Qingwu felt a surge of warmth in his chest. "Brother Heng, you know that my heart is as deep as yours, and I can't just stand by and watch you get hurt! I understand what you mean. You think you can recover easily from being stung by a poisonous bee, but in my opinion, this is unbearable!"
Emperor Shenwu didn't say anything else, but just tightened his arms and held Lan Qingwu tightly in his arms.
Emperor Shenwu made arrangements for the injured ministers, concubines and others, and then quietly and intensively investigated the matter of the poisonous bees.
Lan Qingwu lay in bed for several days, and when she recovered fully, she took over all the affairs of the harem.
On this day, a subordinate of Li Zhong, the deputy chief eunuch of the imperial palace, came to the Qingliang Palace to ask to see Lan Qingwu.
Lan Qingwu summoned the eunuch, but was disturbed by the eunuch's next words: "Are you serious? This is a matter of life and death, you can't talk nonsense!"
The eunuch had a stern expression on his face. "How dare I, a servant, deceive the Empress! That maidservant belonged to Concubine Bai's palace, but a few days ago, her body was found dumped in a well! I've been paying close attention these days and have done some research. The maids in Concubine Bai's palace are replaced at an incredibly fast rate, and the number of them replaced over the years is so high! This number even exceeds that of some concubines and imperial consorts."
Lan Qingwu was silent for a moment before saying, "I will send someone to investigate this matter! Also, please stop getting involved in this matter and withdraw immediately!"
After the eunuch left, Lan Qingwu said softly, "Your Majesty is planning to raise the status of the Fourth Prince's birth mother. After all, the Fourth Prince is already so old, and he's about to get married!"
Perhaps it was because of what one fears that something bad would happen! Lady Bai was increasingly worried about something happening at this time. Two days later, His Majesty and the Empress sent people to patrol the palaces again. For some reason, Lady Bai felt a surge of anxiety.
