The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

Chapter 42: The Emperor is Alcoholic?

In Yinglan Pavilion, only Lu Qingqing and Li Xuansheng were left.

The night falls and the red candles shine brightly.

There is fine wine on the table and a beautiful woman in my arms.

The huge palace is filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Lu Qingqing picked up the wine pot, and with graceful and delicate movements of her wrist, she poured the fragrant peach wine into the crystal clear wine glass, and recited a toast in a serious manner.

"Good times and good scenery, we will meet again."

"I offer you good wine, hoping to ease your worries."

Li Xuansheng looked at Lu Qingqing's serious yet lovely smile, smiled dotingly, took the wine glass offered to him, and drank it all in one gulp.

He felt very happy. Lu Qingqing served him food and urged him to drink.

Li Xuansheng drank one cup after another, and the bottle of peach blossom wine was almost empty.

After three rounds of drinking.

Li Xuansheng was about to undress and go to bed, but Lu Qingqing noticed something unusual.

"oops!"

Lu Qingqing screamed, her slender fingers holding Li Xuansheng's handsome face, her eyes full of anxiety.

"Your Majesty, why is there a rash on your face?"

"Rash?"

Li Xuansheng was puzzled.

He has always been able to drink a lot, so it is impossible that he got a rash from drinking just one bottle of peach blossom wine.

"Qingqing, is it because the candlelight is too dim that you are dazzled?"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Lu Qingqing quickly pulled him to the bronze mirror.

"Your Majesty, look, it's not my eyes that are blurring out, you do have a rash, what should I do? Call the imperial physician to take a look!"

Li Xuansheng looked at himself in the mirror.

Lu Qingqing was right, there were indeed signs of a rash on his cheeks.

And after she said that, he seemed to feel an itch on his face, and his breathing became heavy.

Strange, what's going on?

Eunuch He Qing, who had been staying outside the hall, heard the noise inside the hall and hurried in to serve.

When Lu Qingqing saw He Qing coming in, she knew the situation was critical, so she immediately ordered him to summon the imperial physician.

Soon, the imperial physician rushed to Yinglan Pavilion to treat Li Xuansheng.

The imperial physician who came tonight was still Doctor Dou, the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau who treated Lu Qingqing on the Wanshou Festival.

After taking the emperor's pulse, he confirmed Li Xuansheng's condition.

"Your Majesty, this is a reaction to the alcohol, so you have a rash and are having difficulty breathing."

Alcohol sickness?

Li Xuansheng knew that he had always had a good alcohol tolerance. Not to mention one bottle of peach blossom wine, even ten bottles would be no problem for him. It was impossible for him to get drunk.

However, Doctor Dou was a skilled doctor and could never make mistakes.

However, at this moment, Li Xuansheng had no time to think about the doubts in his heart. The reaction of the alcohol made his head more and more dizzy and heavy. His originally clear thinking seemed to be dragged by sticky mud, becoming heavy and slow.

The drowsiness in his head mercilessly devoured his consciousness, making him feel tired and weak all over, and his eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and fainted on Lu Qingqing's bed.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?!"

Li Xuansheng suddenly fainted, and Lu Qingqing was so scared that she couldn't help but scream.

"Doctor Dou, please take a look at the emperor. What's wrong with him?!"

Not only Lu Qingqing, but He Qing beside her was also extremely anxious, like an ant on hot pan.

When Doctor Dou saw that the situation was not good, he quickly ordered the other accompanying doctors to prepare medicine for the emperor immediately.

Li Xuansheng lay on the couch, his face flushed and his eyebrows twisted together, as if he was in great pain.

In the intervals of decocting the medicine, Lu Qingqing stayed by Li Xuansheng's side, carefully wiping his face with a silk handkerchief.

Anyone who sees this scene will be amazed at how meticulous and thoughtful Lu Qingqing is in taking care of Li Xuansheng.

However, people did not know that what Lu Qingqing was thinking at this moment was completely opposite to her outward expression.

While wiping Li Xuansheng, she recited silently in her heart.

I'm sorry, big brother, but you are the emperor. Only if you are sick will it attract everyone's attention and find out the problem with the palace costume. For revenge, I have to borrow your body to play a cameo role. Don't mind.

Lu Qingqing kept muttering inside the hall.

Outside the palace, Erxi and Eunuch He Qing followed the imperial doctors in decocting medicine.

Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, Xiao Tao tentatively moved closer to Lu Qingqing.

"My lady, that day you asked me to keep the palace dress for you, was it just for today..."

Although Xiao Tao had already guessed what Lu Qingqing was going to do, she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips. After all, saying such words would be really offensive to the emperor.

Lu Qingqing looked up and met Xiaotao's gaze, giving her an affirmative look.

That's right.

That day, Lu Qingqing asked Xiaotao to keep her palace dress in order to induce Li Xuansheng's alcohol reaction today.

Before she persuaded Li Xuansheng to drink, she deliberately wore this palace dress and was intimate with him for a long time. The scent of Rhodiola rosea juice on the dress had been inhaled into Li Xuansheng's body. Drinking in this situation would definitely cause alcohol reaction.

Xiao Tao was well versed in medicine and saw through Lu Qingqing's intention at a glance.

In the past, she only knew that her young mistress was smart and kind, but now that she had seen Lu Qingqing's wisdom and skills, she was even more impressed by her.

Although the emperor was ill and lying in bed, Xiao Tao couldn't help but feel secretly happy, glad that she did not follow the wrong lady.

The master and servant had a tacit understanding about the palace dress.

Soon, Doctor Dou's medicine was ready.

Lu Qingqing hurriedly helped Li Xuansheng up and fed him medicine one spoonful at a time.

At first, Li Xuansheng was unconscious and uncooperative. The medicine that was fed to his mouth all flowed down the corners of his mouth, so Lu Qingqing had to feed him the medicine while wiping him with a handkerchief.

As she was feeding, she became a little impatient and completely ignored the emperor lying in her arms. She did something that stunned everyone present.

Lu Qingqing pinched Li Xuansheng's nose. Due to the physiological reaction of shortness of breath, Li Xuansheng opened his mouth slightly and drank the medicine soup smoothly.

Eunuch He Qing, who was standing by and serving, saw this series of actions and couldn't help but admire them in his heart.

Noblewoman Lu is truly amazing. Not only is she beautiful as a fairy, she also does things so efficiently and effectively, with both courage and strategy. It seems that her future development cannot be underestimated.

After struggling for a long time, Lu Qingqing finally finished feeding the bowl of medicine.

At this time, a faint pale light had quietly appeared on the horizon, gently outlining the outline of dawn.

She gently placed Li Xuansheng's head on the pillow and pulled the corner of the quilt that was raised on one side for him.

After tidying up, she pretended to be clueless and questioned Doctor Dou seriously.

"Doctor Dou, I was drunk that day, and you said it was a physical problem, but the emperor drinks a lot, it can't be a physical problem, right?!"

Doctor Dou stood with his head down, thinking over and over.

If it's not a physical problem, then it can only be a problem with the alcohol.

He asked Lu Qingqing for the peach blossom wine that the emperor drank, and after carefully examining it for a long time, he did not find any problems.

Just when his thoughts had reached a dead end and his face was filled with sorrow, there was a slight sound of someone turning over on the bed.

After hearing this, Lu Qingqing quickly rushed to the bed, tightly held Li Xuansheng's hand, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, you finally woke up!"

At this time, Li Xuansheng's redness and fever had subsided, and his breathing was not as heavy as at night, but the red rash on his cheeks looked particularly scary.

Li Xuansheng woke up from his trance and met Lu Qingqing's sight. She had been up most of the night and looked tired, with dark circles under her eyes.

He struggled to prop himself up with his elbows, his head still heavy, and he coughed loudly twice.

"Ahem, what's wrong with me?"

Doctor Dou stepped forward to reply and reported the patient's condition in detail to Li Xuansheng.

However, before Doctor Dou finished his words, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside Yinglan Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, I am late!"

When Lu Qingqing heard this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Great, now all the protagonists are finally here.

The show begins.
