The female supporting role is crazy about the male lead

Xia Ran and Ye Ji really started a cold war mode.

She was originally worried that he would have trouble explaining to Queen Mother Su if he didn't use the illusion, so she thought of asking Xiaobai to help tamper with the memories of those present. Unexpectedly, he went back on his own, so she didn't care.

When I saw him again the next day, he was still beside Empress Dowager Su. Although the two were not as close as before, their relationship was still normal.

Empress Dowager Su saw that she did not have the same strong emotions as the night before, as if nothing had happened.

The five days Xiaobai mentioned was like a warning, and something really started to happen.

The cause was that the Emperor of Yun Dynasty suddenly fainted while he was taking them on an inspection tour of a prosperous market in the south of the Yangtze River, which scared everyone.

He was quickly carried back to the villa, and the local doctor who was invited to examine him spent a long time but could not come to any conclusion. The emperor was still unconscious.

This was going to be a big deal, so the personal guards rode at full speed to the capital to invite the imperial physician, and they also rushed the emperor to the capital as soon as possible.

Everyone was worried that something might have gone wrong with the emperor.

Fortunately, the emperor woke up on his own in the carriage on the way to the capital. When asked about his current feelings, he just said that apart from feeling sore all over and having little strength, he did not have any other discomforts.

These symptoms are neither consistent with common illnesses nor signs of poisoning.

Everyone was relieved for the time being, and the trip to Jiangnan ended in a hurry.

So, the group stayed in the villa for two days and then quickly returned to Beijing.

Taiwei Mansion.

"Sir, I heard that the palace is not very peaceful recently?" The wife of the Grand Marshal asked Grand Marshal Xia worriedly at the dinner table.

Xia Ran also put down his chopsticks, "Daddy, what happened in the palace?"

"Alas," General Xia also had a sad face, and after hesitating for a while, he finally spoke, "Since returning from Jiangnan, Your Majesty has been in poor health and always falls into a coma for no reason."

"Yesterday, he even fell to the ground during the morning court session. Fortunately, Eunuch Liu caught him in time, otherwise..."

The general sighed deeply, worried about the king.

"Even the doctors at the Imperial Medical Clinic couldn't find out what the problem was. We can only guess that it's probably because your Majesty has been overworked recently and has overdrawn his body."

"So what's the situation now?" Mrs. Xia continued to ask with concern.

"Prime Minister Yin and others have already tried to find doctors and medicines everywhere. Now, Your Majesty can only drink the tranquilizer given by the imperial physician for the time being and see if it has any effect."

Since returning from Jiangnan? Xia Ran pondered, there was someone around the emperor recently that she always felt was strange.

"Dad, what about His Majesty's favorite concubine, Baipin? When he was in Jiangnan, she was the only one who stayed with His Majesty every day. She might know more than us."

Speaking of Concubine Bai, the general suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, shaking the food on the table.

"This witch!" the general shouted, "She relied on your majesty's favor and stayed by your side every day during your coma. She wouldn't let anyone get close to her except the imperial physician."

"When His Majesty was awake, she stayed by his side, openly meddled in the affairs of the court, and disturbed the harem. I think she must be up to something."

Don't let anyone get close?

Now Xia Ran is almost 100% sure that there must be some secret about this Baipin. Thinking of her unusual attention to Ye Ji, perhaps all this is related to that hidden plot.

She had to find an opportunity to enter the palace and meet Concubine Bai.

The opportunity to enter the palace came at an early date.

The Queen Mother sent her another invitation, but this time she did not give any reason, just invited her to come to the palace and have a seat.

He came to Linhua Palace again, but this time he did not see Ye Ji. He only saw Empress Dowager Su who was dressed simply.

It was unusual, she was very concerned about it.

"Come on, come and sit down." Empress Dowager Su smiled kindly and waved to her.

Xia Ran walked over, then was grabbed by Empress Dowager Su and pressed onto a chair.

The woman's long nails scratched the back of her hand.

Xia Ran covered her hands silently.

Queen Mother Su glanced at the scar and ordered the maid beside her, "Cui'er, bring me the red jade hairpin I got a few days ago."

The maid beside her responded and brought it after a while.

Queen Mother Su took the hairpin from the maid and handed it to Xia Ran, "When I saw this hairpin, I thought it suited you. I specially called you here today to give it to you."

The hairpin was made of pure gold and engraved with exquisite auspicious cloud patterns. On the top, a crystal clear red jade was supported by a golden peony. It was obviously a treasure.

Empress Dowager Su said this and was about to put the hairpin into Xia Ran's hand.

Xia Ran quickly declined, "Your Majesty, I don't want to receive rewards without merit. I know I am not worthy of your reward, so I can't accept this hairpin."

Empress Dowager Su slammed the hairpin on the table and said, "What is worthy of it? If I say I want to give it to you, then it is a reward for you. You cannot refuse it."

Xia Ran finally put on the hairpin, and then was successfully dragged weakly by Empress Dowager Su into the room that she had prepared long ago.

After seeing Xia Ran being dragged away by several servants, Queen Mother Su swept away the tea prepared for Xia Ran on the table and asked Cui'er beside her, "Is Master Ji still imprisoned in there?"

"Yes, don't worry, Madam. We have people guarding outside. Master Ji is still painting inside and has not come out yet."

"Hmph," the woman snorted coldly, "Today I will let that bitch taste the consequences of daring to covet my man."

"Didn't she just get divorced and is in need of a man?"

"Then I will show my mercy and give her one."

The woman's beautiful face was covered with a sinister smile, like a vicious monster.

In a remote room in Linhua Palace.

Xia Ran was lying weakly on the couch, his face flushed, breathing heavily, and sweat still pouring out of his forehead.

"Xiaobai, are you sure Ye Ji is in Linhua Palace?"

It was so hot, she couldn't hold on any longer if he didn't come.

"Yes, 0113, he was locked up in the back of the bedroom by the Queen Mother."

The woman on the bed raised her hand. On her snow-white wrist hung a bracelet made of colorful agates with a tuft of green fluff hanging in the middle.

Xia Ran reached out and touched the tuft of hair, "Ye Ji, help... come and save me..."

The woman opened her delicate lips and spoke in a sweet and moving voice.

Nightthorn was indeed painting in the room.

Spread out on the desk was an unfinished painting of a beauty.

The beauty in the picture is wearing a cloak and a big hat.

The little face hidden under the hat has bright eyes and delicate features. Now she is smiling, and her pupils are clear and bright, reflecting the blooming fireworks.

The woman looked as if she had seen her beloved. Although she said nothing, her eyes and eyebrows were full of affection.

It was Xia Ran in front of the iron tree and silver flowers that day.

The man is now using the yellow paint to carefully outline the gorgeous silver flowers next to it.

But he was still not satisfied. He always felt that his writing could not fully express the shock and excitement that Xia Ran brought to him that day.

When he was about to make the last stroke, the man's body suddenly stiffened, and he swiped the tip of the brush outward fiercely. The brush that was suspended in the air fell down, and drops of ink splashed on the white drawing paper. The man was no longer in front of the table.

Xia Ran is now a little fuzzy in mind. The medicine that Empress Dowager Su gave her is really strong. She now feels a heat surging from her whole body, as if it is going to roast her.

Along with the heat, there is also trance and hunger.

When she looked at the roof now, it was covered with flowers and double images.

I couldn't help but pull open my collar, and only then did I feel that I could breathe a little, "It's so hot, Ye Ji, it's so hot, save me."

The woman could no longer speak.

When Ye Ji pushed the door open, what he saw was Xia Ran lying on the bed.
