Chapter 2024: A Splitting Headache

oad to try and seize the prince's arm.These people couldn't hurt Kang'er and the others, but they did slow down their journey, which led them to arrive much later than expected.Ning'er looked at the b...The emperor was now in such agony that he lay on the bed, the Empress hastily climbed down and again reached out to help him up, trying to make him more comfortable.

The emperor's head hurt terribly, so much that he wanted to kill someone. Anyone who came near him would be in danger.

Then, the moment the Empress's hand touched his body, the Emperor's intense vigilance flared up. He thought someone was trying to take advantage of his disorientation and attack him.

So in that moment, almost without thinking, he kicked the person who was approaching him.

The emperor was quite capable himself. When he kicked the empress like that, she was sent sprawling backward, landing hard on her backside and wincing in pain.

Although knocked down, the Empress did not even care to be angry with the Emperor at this moment. Her heart was in turmoil, she didn't understand what had happened to him, why he suddenly became so pained

After all, she was the emperor's wife. She was afraid that something might happen to her in front of the emperor, so after falling to the ground, she hurriedly shouted outside several times, "Imperial Physician, summon the Imperial Physician, quickly summon the Imperial Physician."

The eunuchs and maids outside the palace were also in a panic, rushing around to find the imperial physician.

The emperor was suffering from a splitting headache at this time. He didn't last long before he fainted.

When the imperial physician arrived, he carefully examined him several times but found nothing amiss.

The imperial physicians looked and looked at the emperor's pulse, having examined it countless times, but still found nothing dangerous.

And the news that something had happened to the emperor in the Kunning Palace reached Zhi'er soon after.

Upon hearing the news of the emperor fainting, Chi'er remained expressionless. Her deep, dark eyes stared into the distance for a moment before she suddenly let out a cold snort and a cruel smile played on her lips as she gritted her teeth and said:

“As I expected, he hasn't changed at all these years. His suspicions remain just as heavy after all this time. Just a few provoking words from An Xuetang and he immediately suspects me so deeply. It's laughable, really. These days, I've been deluding myself, thinking he actually had some feelings for me. Ha!”

After finishing that ominous statement, Chi'er suddenly stood up. She clapped her hands and looked at her subordinate beside her, "Are you sure the King and Queen of Beijang have left the palace"

"Yes, master, I saw them with my own eyes board the carriage and leave."

Zhier narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly, "Then next... it's time to deal with the one in Kunning Palace."

A sinister smile played on her lips, leaving one to wonder what she was truly thinking.

Even her closest attendants dared not guess what Zhi'er was thinking. They could only follow silently behind her as the group made their way to Kunning Palace.

……

The imperial physician, after arriving at the Kunning Palace, rushed about checking the emperor in various ways, but he couldn't find anything amiss with his body.

Whether by feeling his pulse or examining his eyes and body, the emperor appeared to be in good health.

And even these imperial physicians could feel that the Emperor's health had been better than usual recently.

So at this moment, no one knows why the emperor suddenly fainted.

Several imperial physicians stood by the bedside, looking at each other in confusion. The Empress looked anxious and had asked several times already.

"At this point, I couldn't help but yell again, "What are you all doing What has happened to Your Majesty It's been so long and He still hasn't woken up. What on earth are you doing"

Hearing the Empress's roar, several imperial physicians hastily knelt and begged for mercy. One of them, with a hard expression, explained, "Your Majesty, I...I truly don't know what's wrong with Your Majesty. From the pulse, Your Majesty's body is indeed unharmed. Your Majesty's pulse is steady and there is nothing unusual."

"Nonsensical."

The empress, without a moment's hesitation, pointed at the imperial physician and roared, "Quack doctor, you lot of charlatans, all you know is to talk nonsense!"

The Empress was furious, but she was helpless. If even the imperial physician couldn't figure out what was wrong with the Emperor, who else in the world could

Just as the Empress was lost in thought, Chi'er arrived with several maids and eunuchs.

Although someone was guarding the door, they couldn't stop Zhi'er and the others at all.

When Zhi'er kicked open the doors of the main hall and walked in with a stoic expression, the Empress and the imperial physicians all turned their heads to look at her.

When Zhi'er barged in, the Empress clenched her fists and glared at her, snarling, "You wretch! You dare to come into my palace!"

After finishing her words, she immediately turned her head and scolded the maidservants and eunuchs beside her, "What are you all standing there for Quickly drag this wretch out of my sight!"

The eunuchs and maidservants in the Empress's Palace were daring enough to make a move, but the Imperial Guards standing outside the door, one by one, dared not act rashly.

Even with the Empress's command, they dared not act rashly. After all, having stayed by the Emperor's side for so long, who couldn't see that the Emperor had been doting on this newly enthroned Noble Consort in recent days

For the newly enthroned Noble Consort, the Emperor even had his sights set on the Kunning Palace. Just a few days ago, he personally ordered the Empress to vacate the Kunning Palace so that it could be given to the new Noble Consort as her residence.

Just because of this incident, everyone in the palace is speculating whether the imperial harem is about to change.

Is the throne of the Six Palaces going to change hands

It was precisely because everyone knew this that none of the Imperial Guards dared to act rashly.

If they were to really drive the newly appointed noble consort out of the Kunning Palace, where would they be once the Emperor wakes up They wouldn't even have a way to survive.

The Empress saw that only the eunuchs and maidservants in her palace had moved. The Imperial Guards guarding the door were motionless, like dead men, not rushing in to drive this bitch out.

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, continuing to bellow, "What are you all still doing out there Can't you hear me"

The Empress was already furious, and now with the Emperor still unconscious, she was beside herself.

At this point, it was just an order to have these Imperial Guards escort this vile woman out. Who would have thought that these Imperial Guards would be so utterly useless

He obviously didn't take her as empress seriously. Before she was even dethroned, people disobeyed her orders and challenged her authority.

Upon noticing this, the Empress was furious.

Just as she was about to continue berating the useless Royal Guard, Chier had already ambled up to her.

Zhi'er's apathetic eyes fell on the empress's furious face. She curled her lips into a smile and said languidly, "Didn't the Empress say just today that she was ill and couldn't get out of bed So there's no way to spare time from Kunning Palace today."

"But now it seems, the Empress is so full of life and vigor, this Palace can't see where the Empress is seriously ill Could it be... that the Empress's words this morning were just to deceive His Majesty"

"You slut, it's none of your concern what this palace does."

Having said that, the Empress' scarlet eyes glared at Zhi’er, and she suddenly raised her hand, instinctively about to slap Zhi’er’s face. then don't bother remembering! This princess doesn't care at all!"After she finished speaking, she turned to leave. Mo Junyi helplessly chuckled, and before she could turn away, he grabbed her arm an...
