Chapter 2 Xiao Li fainted

After hearing what Ruan Yu'er said, Eunuch Hou no longer urged him, but quietly waited for the decision in the imperial study room.

But after waiting for a long time, apart from bursts of murmuring sounds, no orders came out of the royal study.

Eunuch Hou knew that His Majesty had completely given up on the imperial concubine. In the palace, even if she is as noble as the imperial concubine, once she is abandoned by His Majesty, she will be greeted by endless darkness.

Eunuch Hou shook his head helplessly.

"Oh, I tell you two nobles, please listen to this old slave's advice and you'd better go back quickly!"

"Seize the time and make preparations. Maybe the Third Prince will suffer less hardship along the way!"

Ruan Yu'er turned a deaf ear. Long-term exposure to the sun had made her originally red lips a little dry and cracked.

She couldn't give up easily, otherwise this might be the last time she saw Xiao Li in her life.

Originally, Ruan Yu'er had a child with the man in the royal study, and she still had some feelings for him in her heart.

But every minute that passed at this moment, the affection for that man in her heart became less and less.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Li's mouth was dry due to the scorching sun, and Concubine Ruan's nose was filled with fragrant sweat. Xiao Li begged:

"Mother, it's hot!"

Concubine Ruan took Xiao Li's hand, tenderly and distressedly:

"Li'er, be good, hold on a little longer, and when your father takes back his life, you won't have to go to Dongshan County!"

Xiao Li usually listened to his mother-in-law and loved his mother-in-law the most, so he continued to kneel down honestly.

The father-in-law Hou had no choice but to order the young father-in-law beside him to ask the imperial doctor in advance, fearing that the two nobles would suffer from heatstroke.

Unknowingly, another half-quarter of an hour had passed, and even Eunuch Hou, who was now under the cool eaves, was a little dizzy. Ruan Yu'er and Xiao Li had already been exposed to the sun for a long time, their lips were chapped and they were dying.

Eunuch Hou saw this and was anxious in his heart. Not only did he not want anything to happen to his two masters, who were pretty good to him, he did not want anything to happen.

He knew more clearly what would happen to the entire Beiliang Kingdom if something happened to the imperial concubine here.

He lightly stamped his feet, and at the risk of being punished, he pushed open the door to the imperial study and walked in.

"Your Majesty, it's been a quarter of an hour. Do you think you should let these two nobles take a break?"

Following Eunuch Hou's gaze, a middle-aged man wearing a crown, a yellow robe, and a mustache was sitting on the dragon chair at the top.

This person is Xiao Shunzhi, the lord of Beiliang Kingdom, the 27th generation lord of Beiliang Kingdom.

Xiao Shunzhi felt the cool temperature of the royal study and watched the dance of his new concubine, which was very pleasant.

"Since they want to kneel, let them kneel. There are not many opportunities for that bitch to kneel in front of others!"

"And that bastard, he has been a fool since he was a child, and I get annoyed just by looking at him!"

Eunuch Hou hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't hold it back.

"But Your Majesty, your concubine is Princess Ziyun of the Anhuai Empire after all. What if the Anhuai Empire takes the blame?"

Xiao Shunzhi's eyebrows were a bit cold and his tone was unkind.

"What? You, old man, have feelings of compassion again? Or will you go kneeling outside with them?"

Eunuch Hou broke into a cold sweat. He understood that he had violated Xiao Shunzhi's taboo, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and made a sharp voice:

"Your Majesty, I don't dare, this slave. My loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen from time to time. I always think about Your Majesty!"

Three old slaves in a row made Xiao Shunzhi look satisfied, waved his hands and said pretending not to care:

"Okay, you old guy has been with me for so many years, I know you don't have the guts!"

"There has been news from the Anhuai Empire. The Ruan family cannot protect itself these days. Otherwise, how could we dare to do this?"

After saying this, Xiao Shunzhi looked impatient.

"You old man, hurry up and watch them. Until the Ruan family falls, nothing can happen to our good concubine."

Eunuch Hou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, said to himself that he was lucky, stood up quickly, and walked out quickly.

When exiting the imperial study, Eunuch Hou deliberately left a small gap, and streams of cool air blew out.

The direction facing the gap was exactly where Ruan Yu'er and Xiao Li were, and Ruan Yu'er showed a grateful expression.

But after all, this is just a drop in the bucket. Concubine Ruan comes from a military family and has some martial arts skills to hold on.

However, Xiao Li was unable to practice martial arts due to his intellectual disability. Although he was stronger than ordinary people, he could not withstand such exposure.

Xiao Li's throat sounded like smoke and his face turned pale. His consciousness gradually began to become blurred, his body began to shake, and finally he fell down in front of the imperial study room.

A shrill cry sounded, and even Xiao Shunzhi in the imperial study was startled.

But suddenly, he seemed to think of Ruan Yu'er's usual disobedience to him, and he sat down again after standing up.

"Li'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare mother! Let's go back and mother will take you back to Ruan's house. We will never ask this cruel man again!"

As a married princess, if she returns home privately without an imperial edict, she will be deported at worst, or demoted to a commoner at worst. It can be seen that Ruan Yu'er has been forced to a dead end.

Ruan Yu'er regretted it very much at the moment. She was only thinking about how to prevent her precious son from going to Dongshan County, but she forgot that the scorching sun was also the most deadly!

Ruan Yu'er was very anxious as she hugged Xiao Li. This was the person she cared about most in the entire Beiliang Kingdom. At this moment, she was like a madman:

"Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician, come and save my Li'er!"

Eunuch Hou was also surprised and said in a rapid voice:

"You little thing, why are you still in a daze? Go and call the imperial doctor here, otherwise our heads will be moved!"

The little eunuch was excited when he heard this, and immediately ran all the way and invited the imperial doctor who was resting in the side room to come over.

At the same time, Eunuch Hou called the other two young eunuchs and carried Xiao Li to the shade.

Ruan Yu'er was really panicked at this moment. She knew clearly that heat stroke would lead to death if not handled properly.

Looking at the imperial doctor running over, Ruan Yu'er's hair was disheveled and she had completely lost her image.

"You must save my Li'er. As long as you save my Li'er, I will give you whatever you want!"

The imperial doctor took Xiao Li's pulse with a calm expression, looked at Xiao Li's face again, and concluded that Xiao Li had suffered from heatstroke.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the third prince is just suffering from heatstroke. Give me some time, and I will definitely give you a lively Third Prince!"

After saying that, he took out his silver needle and inserted it into Xiao Li's acupuncture point with skillful technique.

Ruan Yuer only came back to her senses at this moment, but her chest was instantly filled with anger, and her jade hands were clenched into fists.

The tiger's poison also refused to eat its children. She never expected that her husband, Xiao Li's father, Emperor Liang Xiao Shunzhi, was so ruthless that he even ignored his biological son.

From this moment on, Ruan Yu'er completely gave up on Xiao Shunzhi. She made up her mind to protect Xiao Li by force. If Xiao Shunzhi used imperial edict to suppress him, it would be a disaster.

What no one knew was that Xiao Li's soul was like a movie playing at the moment, flashing images that did not belong to this body.

When Xiao Li was born, there was lightning and thunder, and a thunderbolt even struck Ruan Yu'er's palace.

This is one of the reasons why Xiao Shunzhi hates Xiao Li so much. He believes that Xiao Li will bring bad luck to the entire Northern Liang Kingdom.

No one knew that the thunder brought with it the memory of another world, the memory of a somewhat splendid civilization.
