Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

The atmosphere of the banquet gradually reached its climax, and the young ladies from various mansions, who had been secretly preparing for a long time, were eager to try.

A sudden sound was heard, and the people closest to it looked over.

Empress Shufei covered her mouth, her face was pale and she looked very uncomfortable.

Emperor Jian'an looked over and asked with concern, "Concubine Lirong, what's wrong with you?"

Concubine Shu looked at him shyly with eyes as clear as water: "Your Majesty, I have a poor appetite these days and always feel nauseous when eating."

Emperor Jian'an was shocked: "My beloved concubine, are you pregnant?"

The queen suddenly grabbed the table, and blood flowed from her long nails.

The incident happened suddenly, and the noise she made was actually quite large, but she was not the protagonist at the moment, so no one saw the queen lose her composure.

Concubine Shu's face turned pale, and she looked pitiful: "I don't know."

Emperor Jian'an: "Have you asked the imperial physician to see you?"

Concubine Shu: "I thought it was a trivial matter and didn't want to cause your majesty to worry for no reason, so I didn't look at it."

"You," Emperor Jian'an said helplessly, "You are so old, why are you still so careless?"

Concubine Shu looked at Emperor Jian'an with loving eyes and said nothing.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and call the imperial physician!" Emperor Jian'an said to the head of internal affairs who was standing next to him.

"Yes, I'll go right away." The chief steward ran hurriedly to find the imperial physician.

Emperor Jian'an walked forward, grabbed Concubine Shu's soft hand, and patted it gently, as if to comfort her.

When the eighth prince saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face.

Lu Yuhuai looked at the scene in front of him, the curve of his mouth remained the same as always, as if he didn't care at all.

Those who secretly looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince admired him even more.

Soon, the imperial physician arrived. He hurriedly saluted Emperor Jian'an, who nodded and then asked him to take Concubine Shu's pulse.

After the doctor finished, he asked, "Could your Majesty change your hand?"

Concubine Shu calmly extended her other hand.

The imperial physician paused for a moment and then knelt down with a plop. “Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Madam Concubine Shu, this is a pregnancy pulse.”

"Pregnant pulse?" Emperor Jian'an was visibly happy, "Really?"

The imperial physician spoke sincerely: "It is absolutely true!"

"Okay," Emperor Jian'an laughed, "Reward!"

The imperial physician shouted "Long live the emperor" and bowed to express his gratitude.

"You also need a reward," Emperor Jian'an took Concubine Shu's hand, "I need to think carefully about what reward to give you."

"However, the most important thing now is to recuperate well. Let's go back to the bedroom now." Emperor Jian'an pulled her out.

"Your Majesty!" A sudden and sharp voice sounded.

Everyone looked over, and who would have thought that the voice came from the always dignified and majestic queen.

Emperor Jian'an turned around and suddenly remembered something: "Queen, you can host this Mid-Autumn Banquet. I trust you." After that, he left.

The queen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, everyone please feel free to do as you please."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see how forced the smile on her face was.

The eighth prince picked up the wine glass and concealed the sarcastic smile on his lips.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't seem affected at all, he just smiled.

That was what they said, but after the Emperor and Concubine Shu left, the atmosphere at the banquet visibly dropped, and although the singing and dancing began again, the interest had dropped a lot.

Of course, there were also people who were the opposite. The mighty general had a smile on his face and he happily drank one glass after another.

After all, he is Concubine Shu's brother, and he has reason to be happy.

This has always been the case in official circles. Soon, many people came to please the mighty general. He was still smiling, but his expression was much more restrained.

The banquet finally came to an end. Everyone looked exhausted and the queen was finally able to leave.

The ladies who had prepared carefully felt melancholy, not knowing how long they would have to wait for the next opportunity to perform.

Lu Yuhuai was about to go to his own palace when the Queen's personal maid stopped him and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, the Queen invites you to Kunning Palace."

Lu Yuhuai paused, then changed direction: "Lead the way," he said.
