Love the child illness center of gravity annoyance, the use of alcohol to worry the king is more worried;

The wise son is sick mother is worried, with tears wash face is hard to see.

If he didn't, Rong'er, as the biological mother of Cheng Rui, would know the situation of his son; but if he did, what if Rong'er was desperate to go to the South Two, he couldn't let Rong'er go to the South Two. He couldn't let Rong'er have any chance of being infected with smallpox, and if Cheng Rui died, it would be a great sorrow in his heart. If Rong'er had a good thing to do, he wouldn't know what to do.

It had been a long time since Rong'er had gone to bed. At first, it was because she had just passed away and the palace was in mourning, but later, because Xuan Ye didn't know how to face her, he really missed Rong'er. His son's illness … what should he do?

”No …” Rong'er … No... Rong'er, what should I do? ”What do we do?” Deep in the night, Xuan Ye drank alone in the palace, his heart filled with grief and sorrow.

”Your Majesty, drinking wine like this will only harm your health,” Zhang DeShun, the eunuch who served by the side, said carefully.

”Shut up, you damned servant. Who let you speak, slap your face twenty times.” Extreme grief combined with the stimulation of alcohol had caused Xuan Ye to lose his mind.

After the Emperor spoke, Zhang DeShun could only obediently slap himself on the face twenty times. Seeing that Eunuch Zhang was being punished like this, none of the surrounding servants dared to speak anymore. Some wanted to send a letter to the Tzu Ning Palace, but the Tzu Ning Palace was still sealed off, so the empress dowager couldn't come out.

When the night was about to turn ugly, Xuan Ye finally staggered over to the Eastern Warm Pavilion and muttered to himself, ”Rong'er … I've missed you. ” The eunuchs and maids hurriedly served him.

Xuan Ye sat on the bed. He went up and pulled her palace maid, Dong Sishu, up to him and said, ”Don't go. Rong'er, don't go. Stay with me.”

”Your Majesty …” Dong Sishu struggled slightly as she said, ”Your majesty, this servant isn't Rongzong. This servant is Sishu.”

”Rong'er, I want you to stay, why are you leaving? I won't let you go. ” As he spoke, Xuan Ye pulled on Dong Sishu even more tightly.

Dong Sisu had been the daughter of Dong Dazhi, a member of the Crown Minister's office, and had been in the palace for three years. For five years, because Gai Rong'er had been promoted to the rank of Emperor, she had been added to the palace by the Ministry of the Interior and served with the Emperor for more than three years. Actually, she had never seen the Emperor so drunk before. Seeing the Emperor pull her and mistake her for someone who was often there, she was truly frightened. Even the palace maids around didn't know what to do.

At this moment, the head steward's aunt, Ning'er, looked helplessly at her father-in-law, Zhang DeShun, and said, ”What do we do now? We must keep the emperor.” This Ning aunt was one of the aunts who had taught him a lesson when she first entered the palace. After they paid their respects, the people in the palace made some adjustments and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent Aunt Ning over.

Xuan Ye pulled Dong Sishu along and shouted, ”Don't do anything. Rong'er, don't leave. Get the hell out of here for me.”

Zhang DeShun glanced at Aunt Ning and said, ”What else can we do? Let her stay.”

Aunt Ning sighed helplessly and said to Dong Sishu, ”Shishi, you should stay behind to serve the emperor. Even if the emperor has mistaken someone, the emperor wants you to stay behind. It's your fortune to be able to serve the emperor.” After speaking, Eunuch Zhang and the palace maids left.

Early in the morning, Xuan Ye felt a sharp pain in his head, as if countless bugs were crawling up his brain. He forced himself to open his eyes, only to discover that his palace maid, Si Shu, was lying beside him. Xuan Ye sat up abruptly.

”You … You... Why are you in my bed? Go up? ” Xuan Ye's impression of last night was completely gone.

”Your Majesty was drunk last night and treated this servant as Young Master Rong. You didn't let this servant leave.” Dong Sishu said in a low voice.

Xuan Ye smacked his forehead and coldly said, ”You may leave first.”

In a panic, Dong Shishi put on her clothes and left the room. Xuan Ye ruthlessly smashed his head again. He had always known what had happened to him yesterday. In fact, he knew that this Dong Shishi looked a bit like Rong'er, especially her eyes. She looked very similar to Rong'er, but he shouldn't have treated her like Rong'er.

Xuan Ye was vexed, so he called in people to help him dress up. He also ordered Zhang DeShun to go to the Supreme Harmony Hall and announce the decree. Today, the court would be adjourned for one day. He then walked towards the Peace Palace.

Gai Rong'er was sitting at the table, embroidering flowers on a small coat given to him by Cheng Rui. Since the Palace of Tzu Ning was not allowed in and out of the palace, they didn't have to pay their respects these days. Seeing the Emperor enter, Gai Rong'er was very surprised. He hurriedly put down the work on his hands and asked after saluting, ”Why has the Emperor come here at this hour?”
