Shen Meimei said this, excitedly lifting up her skirt and cautiously stepping onto the stairs.

However, when she just walked to the door, she suddenly saw Su Peisheng standing outside.

Her heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm and asked, "I'm back, where is the emperor?"

Su Peisheng had an embarrassed look on his face. He pointed inside the room. Then, a burst of laughter came out from the room. The sound seemed to be deliberately amplified in volume, as if to deliberately embarrass and disappoint Shen Meimei.

Shen Meimei's heart sank to the bottom in an instant. She turned around and prepared to leave, tears welling up in her eyes.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and the emperor rushed out barefoot and hugged Shen Meimei tightly.

His eyes were full of concern and anxiety, and his tone was sincere and gentle:

"Mei'er, I was very worried about you. I didn't sleep well this night!"

Behind the emperor was Liu Ruchun, who looked at Shen Meimei with kind eyes. She didn't seem to be arrogant at all, as if she was still an innocent girl.

She stepped forward, bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"

How long has it been since Liu Ruchun called herself a "concubine"? The emperor actually let her enter the palace?

Shen Meimei couldn't believe it. She gently pushed the emperor away and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I'm fine!"

"Su Peisheng, quickly call the imperial physician and ask him to take a good look at the imperial concubine!" At this moment, the emperor only had Shen Meimei in his eyes and no one else.

"Your Majesty, I'm really fine!" Shen Meimei explained. Although she was fine, the journey was bumpy and she just wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep.

Liu Ruchun stepped forward and tugged at the emperor's sleeve, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is exhausted from the journey, let her rest first. Your Majesty, you haven't even put on your shoes!"

Shen Meimei looked down and found that the emperor was indeed barefoot. She also advised:

"Your Majesty, please put on your shoes first. I will come back to report after I have rested for a while. I am really tired today!"

Jin Xi helped Shen Meimei to another guest room, "My queen, I know you are suffering, don't take it to heart. I think Miss Liu is not a good person. Although she appears to be polite and respectful on the surface, I am afraid she doesn't think so in her heart. My queen, just be more careful in the future!"

"Okay, I got it! Jinxi, you are tired too. I didn't bring so many people with me this time I came out for a secret visit. I have to thank you for your hard work!" Shen Meimei yawned. She was indeed a little sleepy.

The prefect of Hangzhou, the general of Hangzhou and others all reported their work to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, according to my subordinates, the queen was in a dilapidated temple outside Hangzhou. She was rescuing people at the time and heard the woman's voice. But after the queen left, I sent someone to check. The dilapidated temple was empty, but there was a pool of blood on the ground, which might have been left by the person who was rescued."

The prefect of Hangzhou knelt down and explained.

"Your Majesty, what the prefect said is true. I also asked someone to check it out afterwards and found this!" The general said, and then he took out a bottle for hanging water and presented it.

The emperor looked at the bottle and laughed. It was estimated that there was no one else in the world who would use this container to treat patients. He asked Su Peisheng to accept the bottle, and then he said:

"Since that group of chivalrous thieves probably admired the Imperial Concubine's medical skills, why did they demand a ransom? This matter must be investigated!"

"Yes, I obey your order!" The Hangzhou prefect, the general and others knelt down to receive the order.
