Lei Bingfu used the last of her strength to let the palace maid take a bath. She lay on the bed as if she was about to faint, cursing Murong Ke a hundred and thirty times in her heart. He didn't want her to serve him in bed, he clearly wanted to sleep her to death.
He was simply a beast!
"Niang niang, Eunuch Ford requests an audience." Lilac walked in and whispered to Lei Bingfu.
Lei Bingfu didn't even have the strength to speak and could only move her finger, indicating for Lilac to invite Ford in.
For Ford to come see her at this time, other than Murong Ke's intention, there couldn't be any other reason.
Hehe, it couldn't be that Murong Ke that beast finally felt guilty and wanted to compensate her. It definitely couldn't be anything good.
Ford walked in with a tray in his hand, bowed to Lei Bingfu, and said with a smile, "Niang niang, His Majesty ordered this servant to bring you the Eight Treasures Sugar Water. You've suffered today, this is His Majesty's kind intentions."
Lei Bingfu curled her lips into a cold smile. What a nice way to put it!
"Many thanks for His Majesty's gift." Lei Bingfu's voice was hoarse and weak.
Lilac took the tray from Ford's hand.
"Lilac, feed niang niang the Eight Treasures Porridge, then we can go back to report." Ford said with a smile.
"Okay." Lilac nodded with a smile, feeling that the Emperor really cared about their niang niang.
Lei Bingfu sneered in her heart, but still forced herself to eat the Eight Treasures Sugar Water mouthful by mouthful.
"Niang niang, this servant will leave." Ford said with a smile, and left Jianjia Palace with the tray.
When he arrived at Yangxin Palace, Murong Ke was wearing a bright yellow robe and reading a book. He walked over with his head lowered, "Your Majesty, Lei Huipin has already eaten the Eight Treasures Sugar Water."
Murong Ke nodded expressionlessly, "En."
Ford looked up at him and silently stood to the side.
He couldn't understand what the Emperor was thinking. Since he already favored the imperial concubines in the harem, why was he still so cold and heartless? That Lei Huipin was actually much smarter than the others, and she could get along well with Princess Ming Yu. It seemed like she just couldn't enter the Emperor's eyes.
"When zhen flipped the green card today, did you already know it was Lei Huipin?" Murong Ke suddenly asked Ford in a cold voice.
"…" Fu De was stunned. Of course he knew. He had seen the emperor flip the cards. "Replying to Your Majesty, this servant indeed knows."
Murong Ke stared at him coldly.
Fu De was startled. "Your Majesty, was this servant wrong?"
"Do you know what you did wrong?" Murong Ke asked.
"Replying to the emperor, this servant doesn't know what I did wrong." Fu De fearfully said, he really didn't know what he did wrong.
Murong Ke snorted coldly. "You may leave."
There was no point in blaming Ford. He didn't show any displeasure towards Lei Bingfu when he flipped the cards.
Even if he spoiled her, it would not change anything.
…
…
After sleeping for the whole night, Lei Bingfu felt that she had not regained her strength. Instead, she felt weak and powerless, and even breathing was difficult.
"Ding Xiang …" Lei Bingfu called out to the palace maid.
"Your Highness, you're awake?" Lilac walked over and opened the curtains. Seeing Lei Bingfu's pale face, she was shocked, "Empress, what's wrong?"
Lei Bingfu felt that her throat was dry and itchy. "Get me a glass of water."
Clove hurriedly replied, "This servant will go right away."
Why did she feel so uncomfortable! Lei Bingfu lightly coughed a few times, feeling even more dizzy.
So uncomfortable!
"Your Highness …" Lilac fed Lei Bingfu a few mouthfuls of water. "How do you feel?"
"I'll lie down a bit longer." Lei Bingfu said in a hoarse voice.
Lilac looked at Lei Bingfu's appearance. She asked worriedly, "Your Highness, it's better to call the imperial physician. Your complexion doesn't look very good."
"No need, I'll lie down a bit longer." Lei Bingfu said. She rubbed the space between her brows, feeling even more tired.
Lilac looked worriedly at Lei Bingfu. The empress had just been spoiled last night. It should have been a happy occasion, but the empress didn't look happy at all. Her mood seemed even worse.
Didn't the emperor specially send the Eight Treasures Sugar Water to the empress last night?
Just as she was puzzled, she saw Princess Ming Yu walk in from outside.
"Lilac, where's your empress?" Ming Yu's tone was light and cheerful. She tilted her head to look inside, but found it strange that she did not see Lei Bingfu.
"Greetings, Your Highness. Our empress is still resting." Lilac said.
Ming Yu froze. "Still resting? Is Lei Huipin not feeling well? "
Lilac said, "Her Highness's complexion isn't very good. She said she wanted to lie down a bit longer."
How could that be? Lei Huipin's body seemed to be very good. How could she suddenly fall ill?
"I'll go take a look." Ming Yu lifted her skirt and ran into the bedroom. She saw Lei Bingfu lying on the bed with a pale face. Her forehead was covered in sweat and she was not sleeping well. No matter how she tried to wake her up, she would not wake up.
"Empress, Empress, what's wrong?" Lilac cried out in shock.
Ming Yu stomped her feet. "Hurry up and call the imperial physician. Can't you see that Lei Huipin is sick?"
"Yes, yes, this servant will go call the imperial physician." Lilac jumped in fright when she saw Lei Bingfu's appearance. She turned and ran out.
"How did your empress fall ill? Wasn't she fine yesterday?" Ming Yu asked the palace maid beside her.
The palace maid replied, "Princess, Her Highness fell asleep when she came back yesterday and has not woken up. We also … don't know how it happened."
Ming Yu frowned as she looked at Lei Bingfu. She had heard early this morning that Lei Bingfu had gone to serve the empress in bed last night, and that her Imperial Father had bestowed her with Eight Treasures Sugar Water. She had come to congratulate her today, but before she could do so, she had been given a fright.
Could it be that her Imperial Father had done something to Lei Huipin yesterday?
Ming Yu could not figure out what had happened.
Very quickly, Lilac brought the imperial physician in.
"Imperial Physician Li, quickly take a look at Lei Huipin. What's wrong?" Ming Yu saw the imperial physician and immediately stepped aside.
Imperial Physician Li stepped forward to take Lei Huipin's pulse and finally said, "Princess, Lei Huipin is … a little lacking in Qi and blood. She's also caught a cold. It's nothing serious. She'll be fine after taking a few doses of medicine."
"Then quickly prescribe the medicine." Ming Yu said. Lei Huipin usually paid more attention to her body. How could she be lacking in Qi and blood?
"Yes." Imperial Physician Li acknowledged and hurriedly retreated to prescribe the medicine for Lei Bingfu.
Lilac followed him to retrieve the medicine and boiled it for Lei Bingfu to consume. Ming Yu stayed in Jianjia Palace to keep watch. It was only after four hours that the fever on Lei Bingfu's body subsided and she finally woke up.
"Your Highness, you're finally awake." Lilac exclaimed excitedly.
Lei Bingfu looked at Lilac in a daze. "What happened to me?"
"Your entire body is burning up. You don't even know that you're ill." Ming Yu said as she walked over.
"I'm ill?" Lei Bingfu propped herself up into a sitting position. "I'm just too tired."
Ming Yu glanced at her. "What did you do to be so tired?"
Lei Bingfu said silently in her heart. Slept with a beast!
