Chapter 22


"Bold! Come on, someone, drag Bai Rumei down here." The empress dowager glared at her, and slammed the table button heavily, "The Ai family is kind to you, but you came here to make a fool of yourself. Such a barbarian is disgraceful." My Royal Fame!"

Bai Rumei bowed her head and knelt respectfully. Just as she was about to speak, she accidentally met the empress dowager's sharp eyes, and swallowed her words.

The guard at the door had already stood seriously beside Bai Rumei upon hearing the Empress Dowager's order, the metal armor made a cold impact sound, and the long ice-like face showed no expression.Their strong hands easily grabbed Bai Rumei's slender arms, almost supporting her in the air.

Bai Rumei was burning with anxiety, but she couldn't break free. With a whimpering voice, she struggled hysterically for the last time, "Please, Queen Mother! Let the emperor take it first."

"Come here, pour out this bowl of black water." The empress dowager said lazily, glancing at the black and clear medicinal juice in a blue and white porcelain bowl on the table.

"No!" Bai Rumei crawled to the Empress Dowager's feet with tears all over her face, and hugged her feet as if begging, already sobbing uncontrollably.

"Mother... Empress Mother, I am willing to give it a try." At this moment, a weak voice sounded from behind the screen, with a breathless voice.

The empress dowager stood up suddenly, and strode towards the back of the screen, "Ayu, Ayu, you woke up, do you feel better?"

"Queen, I'm willing to try that medicine." Situ Lieyu weakly pointed at the medicine on the table, his face was pale and lifeless, and his already thin face was now more sharp-edged, making people feel distressed.His eye sockets were sunken, and his pupils were cloudy and bloodshot.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Rumei touched the tears on her face, knelt and crawled to the table, carefully holding the bowl to the emperor's bedside.

The servant girl who served gently lifted the emperor up, and used a soft golden coiled dragon pillow to cushion the emperor's back.

"Ayu, do you really want to drink this unknown thing?" The Empress Dowager looked worriedly and tried to stop it again.

Situ Lieyu didn't answer anymore, but tried his best to lean his body on the edge of the bed and wait for Bai Rumei to feed him the medicine.Bai Rumei slowly stirred the black concoction with a white jade spoon, gently scooped up a spoonful, put it near her mouth and blew it, and slowly sent it to the emperor's almost chapped lips.Bai Rumei held the ice silk white silk, and wiped the medicine stains from the corners of the emperor's mouth every time he fed it.

After a while, the bowl of medicine was finished, and the girl supported the emperor to lie down slowly.Situ Lieyu slowly closed his eyes and peacefully entered the dreamland.

"Before the emperor fully recovers, you will guard here day and night. If he wakes up unharmed, everything can be said. If his condition worsens or worse, you will be executed like Situ Liefeng." The empress dowager waved Sleeves swung away.

Bai Rumei breathed a sigh of relief, and almost collapsed to the ground.Fortunately, the emperor still drank Sayama, but fortunately everything was still too late.

She gently pulled the corner of the emperor's quilt, and looking at Situ Lieyu, who had long since faded from his youthful appearance, she recalled her blind promises.The wheel of fate keeps spinning, what will be their destination and ending?
