He really didn't want to be a pawn, so after hearing the order to retreat, he didn't dare to delay for a moment.

But do you really need to prescribe bitter medicine? Do you really need to boil coptis root water? Although His Majesty looked very angry just now, he was obviously different from the way he was angry before. On the contrary, he felt that the way His Majesty and Concubine Shu just now was more like an ordinary couple quarreling...

Everyone has heard how favored Concubine Shu is now. If this is really a bitter pill, and His Majesty is no longer angry, then if Concubine Shu is investigated, won't they still be the ones to take the blame?

But if he doesn't open it... What if His Majesty is serious? He might even lose his head, right? The imperial physician is really starting to feel embarrassed, so...

"Eunuch Li is a very popular figure in front of His Majesty. Please give us some advice and guidance." The imperial physician quickly looked at Li Sheng beside him with an attentive look.

Li Sheng glanced at him and said, "Whatever your majesty says, go down and prepare." Anyway, if the Concubine Shu really doesn't want to drink, your majesty won't be able to force her to drink. On the other hand, if the Concubine Shu can't drink, your majesty might have to coax her...

Well, since everyone serving His Majesty here said so, the imperial physician has no choice but to go ahead and do it.

Hall

Cheng Mingran felt like someone who had done something bad. She sat on the bed with a guilty look on her face, not daring to look up.

And Ji Lingzhou... well, he had a stern face the whole time. If someone didn't know, they would think he was catching someone cheating. He just glanced at Cheng Mingran.

Cheng Mingran's head hurt even more. If she had known earlier, she would not have pretended to be faint... She just wanted to see if Ji Lingzhou would really be worried about her.

Moreover, in addition to those people in the harem, there are also many court ladies at the banquet today. Only by letting them all see with their own eyes how nervous and concerned Ji Lingzhou is about them, can the rumor of her favor be spread more truthfully, further, and easier to believe.

"If I don't speak, you won't speak either? Are you waiting for me to speak first?" Ji Lingzhou seemed to be unable to help himself, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Your concubine... Your concubine, why don't you go back to Lianyi Palace first?" Cheng Mingran finally uttered these words after holding it in for a long time.

"It's better not to say anything. You'd better shut up." Ji Lingzhou directly retorted.

Cheng Mingran: "..."

Ahhhhhhhhhh! ! ! ! ! !

She was going crazy. What on earth happened to Ji Lingzhou? !

She felt like she couldn't stay here any longer.

Fortunately, someone came in and rescued her soon.

Just now, the imperial physician prescribed the bitterest medicine at the fastest speed, and even added coptis root to it. After the palace maids boiled the medicine, they felt that the smell was not good, and they could only silently pray for their queen's good luck!

The palace maid came to the inner hall with the medicine. Cheng Mingran was now hanging his head with a look of despair on his face. Now that he saw someone coming, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

but……

When she saw that it was the workers carrying the boiled medicine in, her little face fell again.

"Your Majesty, the medicine is ready." said the palace maid.

Ji Lingzhou glanced at it and said, "Bring it over and let her drink it."

Upon hearing this, the palace maid brought the bowl of bitter medicine to Cheng Mingran again: "Your Majesty, your medicine is ready. The imperial physician instructed that you need to drink it while it's hot." said the palace maid.

Cheng Mingran was about to vomit when she smelled the smell, let alone drink it. But under the threat of Ji Lingzhou, she still used up all her courage and picked up the thing.

But the moment it was brought to her, the smell of the medicine hit her head straight, and she wanted to vomit just by smelling it.

"Drink it, why are you standing there? Is it very hot?" Ji Lingzhou stared at her, as if she would not be able to leave the house today unless she finished drinking the medicine in the bowl.

"Your Majesty..." Cheng Mingran really couldn't bear hardship.

Ji Lingzhou raised his eyebrows. She looked quite interesting now. But... "Drink it. This will teach you a lesson. Let's see if you can take care of your health in the future!" He still had a stern face.

Cheng Mingran sighed silently in her heart. She didn't know how long she had been mentally preparing herself for it before she finally mustered up the courage to put the bowl of medicine to her mouth.

Of course...

vomit~

She just took a little bit and her stomach started to churn. If she drank it, she would vomit right away.

"Don't waste time. This medicine has such a strong smell. If you don't drink it, the entire Zichen Palace will be stinked up by it. When that time comes, I will force you to clean the Zichen Palace inside and out by yourself." Ji Lingzhou said deliberately.

Cheng Mingran: "..." She suddenly felt that she should not take the medicine herself, but should ask the imperial physician to prescribe some brain medicine for him.

I don’t know if it was because of Ji Lingzhou that stimulated her, but Cheng Mingran suddenly had an inappropriate idea in her mind.

Her eyes instantly turned red, and she looked pitiful, with her head lowered as if she was enduring something.

Ji Lingzhou frowned. Why did he suddenly become depressed? He took two steps forward: "What's wrong? Can a bowl of medicine make you feel wronged?"

Cheng Mingran sniffed, and her big eyeballs dropped instantly, but she still shook her head, as if pretending to be strong: "I dare not, I know I am wrong."

Ji Lingzhou's brows furrowed even deeper, so was he crying?

He looked at the bowl of medicine in Cheng Mingran's hand, and finally seemed to be completely helpless with her, with impatience on his face.

"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to bother with you. Give it to me." He stretched out his hand and motioned Cheng Mingran to hand him the bowl of medicine.

Cheng Mingran looked at him timidly, her expression so pitiful, as if she was confirming whether he was angry or not, and then she slowly handed him the bowl in her hand.

but……

Cheng Mingran had just put the bowl in his hand when his hand suddenly shifted, as if he hadn't held it firmly, and in the end the entire bowl of medicine spilled all over Ji Lingzhou's body.

Cheng Mingran was startled. She immediately got off the bed and knelt in front of Ji Lingzhou, her face full of fear: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean it. I was not holding my head steady just now. I will call the palace maid in right away..." She seemed to be very frightened and looked like she was about to cry.

Ji Lingzhou looked at this masterpiece on his body and his face almost turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

But when he looked at Cheng Mingran kneeling on the ground and the spilled medicine at his feet, he still helped Cheng Mingran up from the ground with a frown on his face: "You better not do this on purpose."

He said this, and then let Cheng Mingran sit back on the bed.

Cheng Mingran looked so frightened that she didn't even dare to raise her head. When Ji Lingzhou saw her like this, he was forced to take back what he wanted to say.
