Quick wear: a good pregnancy, the treasure in the palm of an emperor's hand

On the emperor's side, as it was almost time for court, there was no movement in the palace, and Eunuch Cheng became anxious.

He stood outside the door and called softly, "Your Majesty, it's almost time to go to court, please wake up."

Not hearing any movement in the palace, Eunuch Cheng continued to call out, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you awake?"

There was still no movement, and Eunuch Cheng realized that something was wrong.

In the past, even if the emperor accidentally fell asleep, he only needed to call him gently and the emperor would wake up.

But he called so many times just now, but the emperor didn't wake up. Could something have happened to him?

"Squeak!" Eunuch Cheng pushed open the palace door and walked in quietly.

When he walked to the dragon bed and lifted the curtain, he saw that the emperor had his eyes closed and his face was covered with traces of cold sweat.

He lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, wake up."

The emperor didn't react at all. Eunuch Cheng's face changed drastically and he reached out to touch his forehead in panic.

The body temperature is normal, nothing abnormal.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes and saw a figure swaying in front of him. He stretched out his hands and pushed hard, accompanied by a call: "Come here."

His voice was hoarse, like a broken gong, extremely unpleasant to the ear, and without any dignity at all.

"Ouch!" Eunuch Cheng staggered, fell backwards, and sat on the ground with his butt.

Hearing the emperor's call, two eunuchs walked into the hall.

Eunuch Cheng, who had fallen to the ground, quickly got up and knelt in front of the dragon couch, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean to offend you just now."

When the emperor saw that they were the three eunuchs who used to help him get up and wash, he finally came to his senses.

He frowned, stared sharply at the flattering eunuch Cheng in front of him, and asked sternly: "What did you want to do just now?"

Eunuch Cheng knelt on the ground, trembling, and responded with a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, please calm down! I called you several times just now, but you were still unconscious. I was extremely worried, fearing that your Majesty was ill, so I dared to reach out and gently touch your forehead to see if you had a fever."

After saying this, Eunuch Cheng lowered his head in fear and trepidation.

Hearing this, the emperor's tense expression eased a little, but he was still not completely relieved.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then turned his gaze to the other two eunuchs standing nearby and asked, "Where were you two last night?"

The two young eunuchs who had just walked in hurriedly walked to Eunuch Cheng's side, knelt down, and answered respectfully:

"In reply to your Majesty, we two servants have been waiting outside the palace gates last night, not leaving even a step, and we dare not slack off in the slightest."

Seeing this, Eunuch Cheng also hurriedly agreed, "I slept peacefully in my room last night and had no evil intentions. Your Majesty, please understand."

The emperor nodded slightly, then once again cast his sharp eyes towards the two young eunuchs and asked:

"In that case, did you hear any unusual noises or sounds last night?"

Faced with the emperor's sudden questioning, the two young eunuchs looked at each other in bewilderment at first, then shook their heads at the same time and said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We did not hear any noise last night."

After hearing this, the emperor did not show satisfaction on his face. His sharp eyes like an eagle were fixed on the two eunuchs in front of him, as if he wanted to see through their eyes and see the secrets hidden deep in their hearts.

The emperor continued to question, "Have you ever taken a nap?"

However, the two eunuchs looked confused and had no idea why the emperor was so obsessed with this issue.

Facing the emperor's questioning, one of the eunuchs spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you. We two did not take a nap last night!"

Another eunuch also nodded in agreement, indicating that what he said was true.

But the emperor obviously did not believe their words. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his already majestic voice became even colder:

"Really? I'll give you one more chance to tell the truth!"

Feeling the strong sense of oppression emanating from the emperor, the two young eunuchs could not help but tremble with fear, and kowtowed quickly, muttering:

"Your Majesty, please spare me! We dare not tell a lie! Really not..."

Seeing this, the eunuch who spoke first calmed down a little, mustered up the courage and said:

"Your Majesty, everything we said is true! If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can summon the guards who were on duty last night to question us. They can testify for us."

After saying this, he raised his head and looked at the emperor with expectant eyes, hoping that the emperor would summon the guards in for questioning.

Thinking of his situation last night, the emperor was furious and looked at Eunuch Cheng sharply.

"Eunuch Cheng, pass the word down. All the guards and servants who were on guard in Ningxin Palace last night will be beaten with fifty sticks."

Eunuch Cheng said, "I obey your orders."

When the two eunuchs heard what the emperor said, they were so frightened that they begged for mercy again and again, "Please spare our lives, Your Majesty, please spare our lives, Your Majesty, we are loyal and have never been lazy."

However, the emperor didn't listen at all and shouted, "Someone come here."

The guard who had just arrived to take over heard the emperor's angry voice, and hurried into the hall, kneeling on one knee: "Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at the two eunuchs and said, "Take them away and give them fifty lashes of the cane."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guards who came in didn't know what the two eunuchs had done wrong, so they quickly called two guards from outside and escorted out the two eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

Eunuch Cheng also hurried out to inform everyone of the emperor's order.

He went to find two more eunuchs to help him help the emperor change clothes and wash.

The emperor was the only one left in the hall. He stood up and stretched himself.

If it weren't for the unforgettable pain reminding him, he would have thought that last night was just a dream.

But when he thought about the scene of the woman in white disappearing before his eyes, he couldn't figure out whether what happened last night was true or false.

If that was true, then why did no one hear the noise or his cries for help last night?

But if I were to lie, the feeling of pain is still vivid in my mind.

But, if it is true, how could a living person disappear?

Also, why did she help the Queen and Xuanyuan Ting, and what was her connection with them?

After much thought, the emperor still couldn't figure it out.

On the way to court, he said to Eunuch Cheng: "After court, arrange for someone to go to the cold palace to take Queen Qin back to Fengluan Palace, and withdraw all the guards guarding Xuanyuan Court."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Cheng was really confused and didn't understand why the emperor's temperament changed so much after sleeping for a night.

Doesn’t he hate the Queen the most?

For five years, he ignored her, and now he suddenly wants to take her out of the cold palace.

However, not being able to figure it out did not stop him from doing his work.

Eunuch Cheng is now trembling with fear and treading on thin ice, fearing that he might offend the emperor by accident.

Fortunately, he was not on guard at night, otherwise, he would not have been able to escape the beating today.
