Chapter 115 Su Ci comes to save him!

Su Ci watched the barrage of comments coming out continuously. She didn't want to pay attention to it, but she felt that the old woman Empress Dowager Gao was too immoral.

Zhao Shizhu was obviously Gao's adopted child. How could she drug him just to satisfy her own selfish desires?
Does Gao treat Zhao Shizhu as her son or as a tool in her hands?
She hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go to Cihe Palace. At this moment, Qixi suddenly ran over to her and reported: "Your Majesty, it's bad, the Queen Mother has drugged His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty has been drugged, what do you want me to do?" Su Ci felt that Qi Xi's words were strange.

Qi Xi couldn't say that it was His Majesty who asked him to find Su Ci. He didn't know why His Majesty, who had been drugged, didn't leave Ci'an Palace but instead asked him to find Su Ci.

"I was so frightened and at a loss what to do that I hurried to find the queen." Qi Xi lied with her eyes open.

Su Ci believed it to be true, and just as she sat on the sedan chair, the comments cleared up her doubts:
[Didn't Zhao Shizhu ask Qi Xi to find Su Ci? ]

[What does Zhao Shizhu mean? Although he was drugged, he seems to be still conscious. Why didn't he take the opportunity to leave Ci'an Palace, but instead let Qixi come to find Su Ci? ]

[Could it be that the drug is too strong and Zhao Shizhu is afraid that he will lose control once he gets up? ]

……

Su Ci stared at the barrage in a daze. Zhao Shizhu had been drugged by her before.

She had used a strong drug that time, but Zhao Shizhu's self-control refreshed her cognition. Even if Empress Dowager Gao had used drugs on Zhao Shizhu, it couldn't be more powerful than the one she had used last time, right?

After thinking about it carefully, she felt that what was said in the barrage was unlikely.

Although he had doubts, Su Ci still asked people to speed up and go to Ci'an Palace. It just so happened that Ci'an Palace was not far from Kunning Palace and could be reached quickly.

In Ci'an Palace, Empress Dowager Gao was very satisfied when she saw Zhao Shizhu eat the drugged soup.

She saw Zhao Shizhu whisper something to Qixi and then Qixi left, and she felt that this was a rare opportunity.

When the time was right, she winked at Gao Ling, signaling her to serve in front of the emperor.

Gao Ling also noticed that Zhao Shizhu's expression was not right, but seeing him closing his eyes and not saying anything, she felt very confused.

On the one hand, she really wanted to enter Zhao Shizhu's harem, but on the other hand, she also knew that being too hasty was not a good thing. For a man like Zhao Shizhu, even if she used tricks to successfully sleep with him, she might not be able to catch Zhao Shizhu's eye. Using tricks to achieve the goal was a bad strategy.

"Ling'er, what are you still standing there for? Help the emperor go to the palace to rest." Empress Dowager Gao was very disappointed when she saw Gao Ling not taking any action.

Gao Ling looked at Zhao Shizhu who was resting with his eyes closed, and suddenly felt that such a Zhao Shizhu was not someone she could get involved with.

She could see what kind of medicine Empress Dowager Gao had given Zhao Shizhu, but if a man like Zhao Shizhu had no self-control, wouldn't he have had a lot of children long ago?
At his age, he has no children, so it is clear that he will never touch anyone he doesn't want, even if the person was drugged by Empress Dowager Gao.

She couldn't do anything that she was not sure of, and she had to consider the Gao family.

The new emperor might show mercy to Empress Dowager Gao, but he certainly would not show mercy to her.

After understanding this, she did not obey Empress Dowager Gao's order, but said to Zhao Shizhu: "If your majesty is not feeling well, why don't you rest here for a while?"

Empress Dowager Gao did not expect Gao Ling to disobey her. She looked at Gao Ling, but Gao Ling did not even look at her and could not see her expression.

Queen Mother Gao knew that Gao Ling was smart and good-looking, so she was very satisfied when the Gao family sent Gao Ling to the palace. However, she made plans for Gao Ling, but Gao Ling did not cooperate with her at the critical moment, which made her feel disappointed.

Just when she was feeling depressed, Qi Xi's voice rang out from outside: "The Queen has arrived!" Gao Ling secretly exclaimed that it was a close call. Fortunately, she did not listen to the Queen Mother Gao and send Zhao Shizhu into the palace, otherwise she would not be able to explain clearly.

This time it was Empress Dowager Gao who acted on her own initiative and she had no involvement. Zhao Shizhu was a wise ruler and would not punish her.

Su Ci walked quickly inside accompanied by Qi Xi. When she saw Zhao Shizhu resting with his eyes closed, she felt relieved for some reason.

As if knowing she was coming, Zhao Shizhu opened his eyes and looked at her intently.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Su Ci walked up to Zhao Shizhu and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Shizhu stretched out his hand towards her, and Su Ci had no choice but to put her hand in his palm.

Zhao Shizhu looked at Su Ci with burning eyes: "Ah Ci, I'm glad you're here."

He just wanted to know if she would abandon him when something happened to him. He didn't have much hope, after all, she didn't like him, but she showed up unexpectedly.

No matter why she came, she came after all.

"If I don't come, what will happen if His Majesty is sold out?" Su Ci said, looking at Empress Dowager Gao meaningfully.

Queen Mother Gao was the closest person to Zhao Shizhu, so how could she sell Zhao Shizhu to the Gao family? Did Queen Mother Gao only want to place women from the Gao family into the harem just because he was the emperor?

Empress Dowager Gao was a little angry when Su Ci looked at her: "Su Ci, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean by that the Empress Dowager doesn't know? Your Majesty's health is not good, isn't it because the Empress Dowager put drugs in his food? Your Majesty is the current emperor, how dare the Empress Dowager drug your Majesty? Does she think that she can do whatever she wants just because she raised your Majesty? Has the Empress Dowager ever thought that doing so will hurt your Majesty's feelings?!" Su Ci asked sternly.

Empress Dowager Gao subconsciously looked at Zhao Shizhu, only to see that Zhao Shizhu was looking at Su Ci and smiling. For a moment, she felt like she had seen a ghost.

Su Ci also felt that Zhao Shizhu was a psychopath: "You were drugged by the Queen Mother and you are so happy, are you stupid?"

Empress Dowager Gao was furious when she heard this: "Su Ci, how dare you be so rude to the emperor?!"

"The Empress Dowager is still drugging Your Majesty. What does my verbal offense matter?" Su Ci retorted confidently.

Empress Dowager Gao had never seen a woman as unreasonable as Su Ci, but what Su Ci said seemed to make some sense.

"I was only worried about the emperor's health, so I asked him to take some tonic soup. How can this be considered as medicine? Su Ci, don't judge others by your own standards!" Empress Dowager Gao argued in a deep voice.

"Okay, then let's ask Zheng Wei to diagnose His Majesty's pulse." Su Ci suddenly raised his voice.

Empress Dowager Gao's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Zhao Shizhu and said, "There's no need for the Emperor to make a fuss, right?"

Zhao Shizhu was still looking at Su Ci and smiling, but now he stopped smiling and said calmly, "Let's leave it at that, but there won't be a next time."

Su Ci didn't expect Zhao Shizhu to just let it go. She looked at him in disbelief, "Aren't you the one who holds grudges the most? The Queen Mother drugged you, how can you just let it go?"

He was never generous.

Didn't he drug her back when she drugged him before? Could it be that he could endure this just because Empress Dowager Gao had raised him?
