Li Yong had not set foot in the harem for several days. Although he was busy with government affairs, his cold behavior of deliberately keeping a distance had caused an uproar in the harem. In Guangqing Palace, Lian Di waited anxiously every day, but Li Yong never showed up. She was filled with loss and doubts, and didn't understand why the emperor suddenly became cold to her.

As Li Yong's personal bodyguard, Su Changde was naturally the most sensitive to the emperor's mood changes. He noticed that Li Yong's recent behavior had become increasingly cold, and he even seemed absent-minded when handling government affairs. Su Changde was secretly worried and decided to find an opportunity to discuss with Doctor Zhang to see if he could find out the reason.

One morning, Su Changde was waiting outside the imperial study. While Li Yong was busy reviewing memorials, he quietly went to the Imperial Hospital to find Doctor Zhang.

"Doctor Zhang, the emperor's mood has been a little abnormal recently. Have you noticed anything wrong?" Su Changde went straight to the point as soon as he saw Doctor Zhang, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Doctor Zhang frowned and whispered, "Sir Su, I have also noticed the changes in the emperor. The emperor has been busy with government affairs these days, but he seems to be worried. I am worried about his health."

Su Changde nodded and sighed, "I am also worried. Not only did the emperor not enter the harem, he even showed indifference to Empress Lian Di. This is not his normal behavior."

Doctor Zhang thought for a moment and whispered, "Sir Su, have you ever thought that this might be related to the emperor's health? Perhaps he has some hidden illness that he doesn't want others to know about."

Su Changde frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy: "Doctor Zhang, do you mean that the emperor may be ill? Then how should we deal with it?"

Doctor Zhang shook his head and said softly, "I can't be sure at the moment. It would be best to find an opportunity to talk to the emperor and see if we can learn more."

Su Changde nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will find a chance to talk to the emperor, but please pay more attention to the emperor's health."

At the same time, the concubines in the harem began to get nervous because of Li Yong's cold behavior. Everyone was speculating whether the emperor's change of attitude was related to certain people or things in the palace, especially Concubine Chun Zhao Chunrong, who was most worried that the emperor's favor for her would be affected.

One day, Concubine Chun summoned several trusted concubines to discuss secretly in her palace. They sat around a large table, their faces full of worry and anxiety.

"Sisters, the emperor's recent behavior makes me very uneasy. He hasn't set foot in the harem for several days. This is not a good sign." Concubine Chun went straight to the point, her tone full of anxiety.

Concubine Li nodded slightly and whispered, "Your Highness is right. The Emperor is ignoring the harem, which is not good for us. We must find out the reason and see if we can change his attitude."

Zhao Lianghuan frowned and said softly, "We must be careful and not act rashly. The emperor has been emotionally unstable recently, and any carelessness could bring disaster upon himself."

Concubine Chun nodded in agreement and sighed, "Yes, we must be cautious. It seems that we can only start with Lian Di and see if she has any clues."

Concubine Li smiled slightly and said softly, "Your Highness is wise. Lian Di has also been waiting in Guangqing Palace recently. Perhaps she knows something."

Concubine Chun nodded slightly and decided to send someone to Guangqing Palace to investigate the situation and see if she could get some clues from Lian Di.

Meanwhile, Lian Di in Guangqing Palace was also feeling heavy-hearted because of Li Yong's indifference. She waited anxiously every day, hoping to see the emperor, but Li Yong never showed up. She was filled with disappointment and doubt, not understanding why the emperor suddenly turned cold to her.

One day, Lian Di was sitting alone in the garden, holding a book in her hand, with a focused and peaceful look on her face. But her heart was in turmoil and she could not calm down.

"Why does the emperor treat me like this? Did I do something wrong?" Lian Di whispered to herself with a hint of sadness in her voice.

Dongxia stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The emperor may just be busy with government affairs temporarily, and he will definitely come back to see you."

Lian Di raised her head and forced a smile: "Dong Xia, I know you are trying to comfort me, but my heart still cannot calm down."

Dongxia lowered her head and said softly, "My queen, you must take care of yourself and not let the emperor worry."

Lian Di nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down: "You are right, I can't let the emperor worry. Maybe the emperor is just busy for the time being."

Just then, Lian Di saw several palace maids walk into the garden. They bowed respectfully, with a hint of nervousness in their voices: "Lady Lian Di, the Imperial Concubine sent us to visit you."

Lian Di was slightly startled, then smiled: "Thank you for your concern, Madam Imperial Concubine. Please go back and tell her that I am fine."

The maids bowed and left, but Lian Di was full of doubts. She knew that the situation in the harem was becoming more and more complicated and she had to be careful.

Time flies, Li Yong is still busy with government affairs, but the longing and concern for Lian Di in his heart still cannot be calmed. He knows that he can't escape forever, and one day he must face this feeling.
