A Female King’s Love Story - Chapter 46

The Palace.

“Mistress Yuanyu, this medicine has been in use for quite some time. Why hasn’t the emperor woken up yet?” Xiyue looked worriedly at Qiao once, who was lying on the bed with his eyes tightly shut.

Ji Minyuan frowned slightly. He did not know what relation Qiao still had to the technique, nor did he know why the technique risked being used to search for medicine for Qiao. He also did not know whether this medicine would actually work.

“It moved! “The Emperor’s fingers moved!” Xiyue looked at Qiao Qiao and shouted while slightly curling her fingers.

Ji Mingyuan calmly sat down. So what if his fingers moved? After hearing his words, tears started to flow from the corners of her eyes. However, the result is that the poison has worsened. Then this time … Who knew what the result would be?

“Water …” Joe’s still-dry lips slowly parted.

“Ran!” “Ran!” Hearing Qiao Qiao’s voice, Ji Mingyuan turned from a zombie into a living corpse and threw himself onto the bed.

“Water, give me some water.”

“Water, water, water, water, water!” Ji Mingyuan shouted in jubilation.

“Yes, yes.” Xiyue was already in tears from her excitement, and she was even frantically pouring water. She ignored the scalding water that splashed onto her hands and was only impatient to bring the water to Qiao’s lips.

“Lan’er, slow down.” Ji Minyuan caressed Qiao Qiao’s back, and spoke with a tone of extreme fondness.

Joe was still leaning against the edge of the bed. Only after drinking a full cup of water did he regain some strength.

“Xiyue, how did our poison get cured?” Qiao Qiao asked with a weak tone.

“Yes …”

“It was the imperial physicians of the Grand Hospital who healed you together.” Ji Mingyuan immediately replied to Xiyue’s words.

Xiyue was startled, and looked towards Ji Mingyuan with a puzzled expression. This pill had clearly been gifted to her by the Palace Master of the Pure End Palace. She didn’t understand why esteemed imperial concubine Yuanyu hadn’t told the truth to the emperor.

Ji Mingyuan frowned, but didn’t say anything. Xiyue also stopped speaking.

“When I was poisoned, I followed Luo Qingqing. Did you discover anything?” This time, she had survived a great ordeal and had awoken. What she wanted to know the most was what he wanted to investigate before falling unconscious.

“That day …”

These matters can be discussed later. Xiyue, you go down first and prepare some delicious and refreshing side dishes for the emperor. After a few days and nights, you don’t eat or drink. Ji Mingyuan interrupted Xiyue’s words once again.

“Yes, this servant has been careless.” “Alright.” Xiyue nodded in agreement, then gave Ji Mingyuan a deep look before retreating.

“Come, lie down. I’ll have some congee in a while.” Ji Minyuan patted Qiao Qiao’s back and placed her on the bed. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile, while his eyes were filled with love and love.

“Ji Mingyuan.” Joe called out again.

“Hmm?” He raised his eyebrows.

“I heard all the things you said when you were unconscious.” Qiao Qiao’s eyes were still lowered, her feather-like eyelashes gently drooped, and her appearance was extremely charming. The corners of her lips slightly parted as she slowly said, “I don’t want to let you down.”

“Yes.” Ji Mingyuan’s fingers, which were still tucked into the corner of the blanket, stiffened slightly as he replied in an indifferent tone.

“Although I am the emperor and there are many male concubines in the harem, a woman’s heart can only be given to one person in a lifetime.” Joe continued.

“Yes.” He only responded with a sound of agreement.

Joe was still about to open his mouth, but he stopped himself. He laid lightly on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

Ji Mingyuan sat by the side of the bed for a long time without uttering a single word. Suddenly, he slowly got up and walked to the entrance of the hall. He said in an extremely soft and extremely soft voice,

“Ran Er, how I wish for that person to be me.”

After which, he took light steps and walked away.

Standing on the bed, Qiao Qiao still slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes followed the direction that Ji Mingyuan had left in, and she couldn’t help but laugh. To be honest, even she herself didn’t know who that person was.

In the royal kitchen.

“Mistress Yuanfei.” Xiyue bowed and greeted him.

“Xiyue, do you know why I didn’t tell you the truth?” Ji Mingyuan asked.

“This servant doesn’t know.” As for hiding the truth, in her heart, Xiyue held some resentment towards Ji Mingyuan. But now, hearing him speak so openly, she couldn’t help but reveal her dissatisfaction.

“Do you know what poison it is?” Ji Mingyuan saw Xiyue’s discontent and continued to ask.

“This servant doesn’t know.”

“Of course, he was poisoned by the poison from the Demon Palace.” “No one is unaware of the Demon Palace’s position in the martial arts world. Although the Demon Palace is powerful, they definitely won’t easily go against the imperial government. You’ve already investigated the poisoner, and the person behind Luo Qing Qing is called Hua Bai Ning, a member of the Imperial Palace. The Demon Palace and Supreme Split Palace have always kept a low profile, and they’re no match for each other, so what’s the purpose of using the Demon Palace’s poison to harm Ran’er this time!” Ji Mingyuan said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Xiyue’s face grew even more solemn.

“And the person who delivered the medicine is the Palace Mistress of Absolute Clear Palace. If it wasn’t for the fact that Ran’er was beyond saving, both of us would have gone all out. Who would use the medicine given by Absolute Clear Palace?!” Ji Mingyuan continued.

“But the medicine given by the head of the Qing Jue Palace is indeed the antidote, and it also saved the life of the emperor.” The day the Palace Master of the Qing Jue Palace gave her the medicine, she told esteemed wangfei that he agreed to help the emperor with the medicine. In this regard, if it weren’t for the Palace Master of the Qing Jue Palace, the emperor would have perished long ago.

“That is true, but that is an internal matter of the Supreme Purity Palace. I do not wish for Ran Er to be involved in it. Moreover, Ran’er has just woken up and is still weak. These matters should not concern her.” Ji Mingyuan said with a frown.

It was true that Ji Mingyuan’s words were true. The emperor was currently in a weakened state, and healing his health was the key. However, she believed that the emperor should have the power to decide what to do with the medicine.
