Su Wan'er subconsciously turned around. In an instant, her eyes met Si Junlin's.
"You..." Si Junlin had just woken up. His vision was still blurry. Looking at Su Wan'er's figure, he only felt it was extremely familiar.
Su Wan'er thought he could see her. There was a look of embarrassment on her face. She coughed lightly to cover it up, then said to Si Junlin, "You're awake. How do you feel?"
Si Junlin finally came to his senses at this moment. Looking at Su Wan'er in front of him, whose worried look hadn't faded yet, his heart was filled with warmth.
It was this feeling that made him indulge in it again and again and be unable to extricate himself.
Maybe Su Wan'er herself didn't know that her seemingly casual actions made the emperor, who had lived in the harem since childhood and whose heart was filled with suspicion, feel the warmth like that in the sunny March.
Without the previous tense atmosphere between the two of them, the emperor felt this kind of feeling was extremely wonderful. The warmth even tinged his voice when he spoke. Of course, Su Wan'er couldn't detect this warmth.
"I'm fine. I just feel a bit weak."
Su Wan'er coughed again, "It's good that you're okay. Then you should have a good rest. As for the memorials... I can handle them well."
When saying this, Su Wan'er couldn't help but feel a bit guilty. She knew her own strength well. It was okay for her to handle ordinary affairs now, but it would probably be a bit difficult for her to handle some major matters.
But the imperial physician had said that he should have a good rest. What else could she do?
Naturally, she had to let him rest well.
"Wait!" Si Junlin struggled to sit up from the bed.
Remembering what the imperial physician had said, not to let him overwork, Su Wan'er quickly stepped forward and supported him, "Don't be so stubborn at this moment. Have a good rest."
"No. I still have to handle the affairs of the court personally." Si Junlin insisted.
Su Wan'er pressed on his shoulders, "So much time has passed. Don't you trust my ability yet? I can handle it well."
Si Junlin looked up at her seriously, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, sure." Even if she felt guilty at this moment, she couldn't let Si Junlin notice, otherwise he wouldn't be able to rest.
What Su Wan'er didn't know was that no matter what she said, Si Junlin was still worried. But looking at her sincere eyes, he hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then you go and handle it first. If you don't understand something, you can bring it to me."
Su Wan'er nodded, "I know. You can rest at ease. The imperial physician said that you can't overwork yourself now. Go to bed early."
After saying that, she left in a hurry.
Because of the words of the imperial physician and Su Wan'er's concern, Si Junlin had to force himself to rest.
Even though he was full of worries now, he could only put these worries aside and then fall asleep peacefully.
After Su Wan'er went back, the first thing she did was to summon the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and asked him to investigate this matter thoroughly.
However, Su Wan'er didn't have much hope for this matter in her heart.
Si Junlin didn't know how long he had slept in bed. When he woke up again, he was woken up by Qingcao.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... It's time to eat." Qingcao whispered to him.
Si Junlin wanted to struggle to get up, but was stopped by Qingcao, "Your Majesty, let this maid take care of you. If the emperor knows that you got out of bed, he may blame this maid again."
Si Junlin sneered softly. He didn't believe that Su Wan'er would punish these loyal maids. Moreover... "If the emperor blames this, I'll take the responsibility."
How could Qingcao let him get out of bed?
"No! Your Majesty, we can't take risks with your health." Just as the two were at a stalemate, Fang Xi's voice came, "His Majesty the Emperor is coming!"
Qingcao felt as if she had received amnesty. She quickly turned around and knelt down to salute Su Wan'er who came in, "This maid pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor. May Your Majesty live long and prosperous."
Su Wan'er walked to the bedside, glanced at Si Junlin, then turned to the people outside and said, "Let the imperial physician come in."
"Yes." Shouted by Su Wan'er, the imperial physician rushed in.
Without Su Wan'er saying anything, he consciously came to Si Junlin's side and began to diagnose him.
After a long time, he stood up and respectfully reported to Su Wan'er, "Your Majesty, the empress only needs to keep on recuperating. During this period, she must not get angry or worried..."
"What will happen if she gets angry or worried?" Before Su Wan'er could say anything, Si Junlin asked the imperial physician.
It was the first time the imperial physician had been asked like this. The previous words were just routine sayings. If really asked...
After thinking hard for a long time, the imperial physician finally said, "Your Majesty, if you get angry, it will cause the reverse flow of qi and blood. If there is still residual poison, it will cause the poison to attack the heart. If you are worried, it will slow down the recovery of your body. Your Majesty also hopes to accompany the emperor by his side and share his worries, right?"
Si Junlin nodded silently, indicating that he had taken the imperial physician's advice.
After the imperial physician left, Si Junlin looked up at Su Wan'er worriedly and asked, "How did you handle the memorials today?" Looking at Su Wan'er's gloomy face, he thought that Su Wan'er might have encountered something she couldn't handle.
Su Wan'er shook her head and said, "You're overthinking. I handled today's memorials by myself. There's nothing to worry about. You just have a good rest."
Si Junlin certainly wouldn't believe that Su Wan'er with a worried look on her face had handled the memorials smoothly, "Don't try to hide it from me with that worried look on your face."
Su Wan'er sighed helplessly and said to Si Junlin, "I'm worried about your injury and the concubines in the harem."
"What's the relationship between my injury and the concubines in the harem?" Si Junlin asked puzzledly.
Of course, there was a relationship. If there was no relationship, would Su Wan'er have said it?
"You've been in this position for so long. You should know that this position is the most coveted one by all the concubines in the harem. If they know that you're ill, they may try every means to kill you. In this way, the position of the empress will be vacant, and it will be easier for them to climb to the position of the empress." Su Wan'er said slowly.
After hearing Su Wan'er's words, Si Junlin fell into deep thought.
He also knew what Su Wan'er said. All along, the person sitting in the position of the empress had been the target of hatred of the concubines in the harem. Each of them wanted to get rid of her quickly.
Especially the news of his illness... Isn't the daily decoction the most suitable thing to put poison in?
