Zhao Zhenyuan was also startled and shouted, "Call the imperial physician quickly."

Soon, Doctor Zhou, who had just finished lunch at home and was about to rest, was summoned to the palace again. He was sweating profusely along the way.

Imperial Doctor Zhou gave me acupuncture and massaged my hands and feet for a while before he wrote a new prescription and asked someone to go to the Imperial Physician's Office to get the medicine.

Zhao Zhenyuan has been guarding me. During this period, Du Changfeng and his son came, and Gongsun Wen also came, but they were all blocked outside the palace and not allowed in. It was said that it was the order of His Majesty so as not to disturb my rest.

After I drank the medicine, I felt no sleep at all. I looked at Zhao Zhenyuan, who was looking worried, and said, "Don't worry, Dad. This disease won't kill me. It just makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Zhao Zhenyuan looked at me, frowned and said nothing.

I sighed and asked, "Father, do you blame me for sending my fourth sister to Mingyue Temple?"

Zhao Zhenyuan's eyes widened as he said, "How could a father blame you? Your idea is very good. Let her temper herself in Mingyue Temple. It will also be good for her to be in charge of the harem in the future."

Zhao Zhenyuan paused, then continued, "Ah Man, with your father and His Majesty backing you up, you can do whatever you want. No one will dare to say anything to you. As long as you are happy, that's all."

I smiled and said, "Father, I'm really not unhappy. Don't listen to the doctor's nonsense."

I thought about it and said, "Father, do you know any men who are around 18 years old, hardworking, down-to-earth, from clean families, and without bad habits?"

When Zhao Zhenyuan heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted, "Why are you asking these questions? Don't forget that you are now a concubine."

I was amused by Zhao Zhenyuan's expression and said, "Father, what are you thinking about? I want to find a marriage for Yingchun."

Yang, Yingchun and Fuyao, who were standing in a row, all suddenly raised their heads and looked at me.

Yingchun's eyes immediately turned red. She wanted to open her mouth to say something, but finally closed it slowly.

Zhao Zhenyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although I want you to be happy, you are not allowed to do anything that would bring disgrace to our family or the late emperor. If you dare to keep a lover, I will definitely kill you myself."

The power that Zhao Zhenyuan had accumulated over the years on the battlefield was so terrifying that Yingchun and the others couldn't help but shudder when they heard it.

But I'm not afraid of him.

I smiled and said, "Father, you worry too much. Sister Yang is watching me closely every day, so it's extremely difficult for me to cheat on her."

Yang didn't expect that her little trick would be exposed by me in public. She blushed and stammered, "Slave, I am also afraid that those men have bad intentions and will damage the reputation of the queen..."

Before Yang finished speaking, Zhao Zhenyuan said loudly, "You did the right thing. I feel relieved to have you watching over Ah Man. I will ask San'er to reward you handsomely later."

Yang was stunned by Zhao Zhenyuan's deafening praise. It took her a while to react. She knelt on the ground and expressed her loyalty: "Thank you, Duke. I will take good care of the queen in the future."

I looked at Yang who was still kowtowing, and said to Zhao Zhenyuan in a bad mood, "Now it's good. Sister Yang was only staring at me secretly before, but now that you've praised her like this, she will stare at me openly from now on."

Zhao Zhenyuan's face turned serious and he said, "You need such a loyal servant to watch over you. You are a frivolous person and don't like to be disciplined. If no one is watching over you, your father will be worried."

After Zhao Yuanzhen finished speaking, he glanced at the hourglass on the table and said, "It's getting late. It's time for me to go home. You should take good care of yourself. I will come to see you tomorrow after court."

Zhao Zhenyuan paused after he finished speaking, and then continued, "I'll go back to the barracks and keep an eye out. If I find a suitable man, I'll come and talk to you."

I nodded and said to Fuyao, "Fuyao, go see my father off."

Fuyao froze when she heard this, and looked at Zhao Zhenyuan with a timid look. Seeing that Zhao Zhenyuan did not show any disgust, she quickly said happily, "Yes, Madam."

Zhao Zhenyuan left, and Yingchun came up to me and said aggrievedly: "My queen, even if you want to leave, can't I wait for you to leave before getting married?"

I smiled and said, "Silly girl, even if you get married, you can still come and serve me. If your husband doesn't have a job, let my third sister arrange one for him in the Duke's Mansion, so that you two can work together."

Yingchun stared at me with eyes wide open, looking at me in disbelief, and asked, "My Lady, is this really okay?"

I nodded and said, "Of course you can. If your three sisters want to get married, you can also tell my third sister. I will give each of them a generous dowry. Those who want to return to the Duke's Mansion to work can come back at any time. If you don't want to come back, I will give you extra money to make a living outside. The Duke's Mansion will always be your greatest support, and no one can bully you."

When Yingchun heard what I said, she was no longer sad. She smiled and nodded vigorously, saying, "As long as the queen wants me to serve her, I will marry her immediately."

I was amused by her, but who knew that this laughter choked my lungs, and I couldn't stop coughing. I vomited a large mouthful of blood, my eyes turned black, and I fainted. I finally stopped coughing after I stopped coughing.

In the evening, Zheng Yan arrived, followed by Gongsun Wen.

Zheng Yan saw that I was not in good spirits, so he naturally did not dare to let me accompany him for dinner. He said with some annoyance: "I was confused. I knew you were not in good health, but I accompanied you to the Imperial Garden to see the lotus flowers. I made you fall ill all of a sudden and suffered so much."

I smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is not your fault. I can only blame myself for getting drunk and acting crazy. I will never drink this kind of wine again."

After hearing what I said, Zheng Yan nodded in agreement and said, "You are right. You can't drink this wine anymore. I will give the order now. If anyone dares to let Ah Man drink, I will break his legs."

Once the emperor spoke, it became a golden rule, and from then on, no one would be able to drink even a drop of this wine.

Zheng Yan wanted to leave after sitting for a while, saying that he was afraid to disturb my rest, but Gongsun Wen refused to leave, saying that he had something to tell me.

After Zheng Yan left, Gongsun Wen spoke up, "The guards came that day and said that there was a guest who wanted to see me, but they didn't tell me that it was you, so I turned him down. This is the hundred-year-old ginseng that I spent a lot of money to buy. Ask the servants to make you some soup to nourish your body."

Gongsun Wen pulled out a long wooden box from his sleeve and handed it over.

I didn't ask anyone to pick it up, and said to Yang, "Take the things out."

Yang immediately took out the wooden box and handed it to Gongsun Wen.

Gongsun Wen looked at me suspiciously, took the wooden box, and asked, "What is this?"

I said, "I have returned all the things you gave me before. If you have nothing to do, please don't come to see me anymore. I am afraid that people will gossip and damage the reputation of Prince Ming."

Gongsun Wen's face changed drastically, and he quickly opened the box and saw that it was full of things he gave me! He couldn't help but tremble, took a few steps back, and asked in a trembling voice: "Why is this? Didn't I explain to you that day that I didn't know it was you..."
