When she first saw Yun Ting, Lan Fu was stunned, her mouth opened wide, and she was so surprised that she couldn't close it.

She was several times more surprised than she was last night, the day when she saw Yun Ting in Zhuixia Palace, which was supposed to be the day when the queen was favored exclusively.

Shouldn't Your Majesty be reviewing official documents in the Imperial Study so early in the morning?

How could he come to Zhuixia Palace without any warning?

Thinking that Yunji and Nan Yingzhi must not be discovered, Lan Fu turned around trembling, wanting to inform them, but suddenly she heard Gao Shu calling her in a low voice: "Don't inform them, the emperor doesn't want to disturb the queen."

His words were like an arrow, nailing Lanfu to the spot.

Knowing that running around at this moment would make the Emperor even more suspicious, Lan Fu looked at the loving couple in the courtyard with helplessness in her eyes.

She had no choice but to obey the order, stopped with difficulty, and pretended to be calm as if nothing serious had happened inside.

Yun Ting pressed forward step by step, but Nan Yingzhi and Yun Ji in the yard were completely unaware. They intertwined their fingers and continued to chat slowly.

Influenced by Yun Ting's words "unlucky" last night, Yun Ji kept thinking about the fact that he accidentally stained Nan Yingzhi's robe.

Last night he said that he had his period. Yun Ting felt it was unlucky even though he was only stained with a little bit of her scent. Wouldn't it be even more unlucky for Nan Yingzhi to be stained with blood?

"Little Gardenia," Yun Ji stammered, feeling guilty and afraid of bringing misfortune to Nan Yingzhi, "Did you wash the robe that I accidentally stained last night?"

Ling Feng and Ling Yu had always been in charge of the palace's trivial matters. Nan Yingzhi had no idea whether the clothes had been washed or not. She hesitated and said, "I think they should have been washed."

"I didn't know before that menstruation is a bad omen," Yun Ji gently shook Nan Yingzhi's hand, as if trying to gain her forgiveness, "I accidentally spilled it last night. I'm so sorry."

Deeply influenced by modern thinking, Nan Yingzhi does not feel ashamed of menstruation, nor does she believe that menstruation will bring bad luck.

After all, menstruation is just a normal physiological phenomenon. Normal women of childbearing age will always experience it. What is there to be ashamed of?

Knowing that it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature, it is too difficult to change other people's ideas, especially the feudal superstitions of the ancients. Nan Yingzhi did not intend to forcibly correct Yun Ji's thoughts.

She opened her mouth and tried to fool him with some witty remark like "It's just a piece of clothing, how can it be more important than your body?", but a pair of hands covered her mouth.

Before she had time to struggle, Nan Yingzhi was quickly dragged into the hall.

She felt like she was being robbed in broad daylight.

Surprised and confused, Nan Yingzhi struggled to get up and wanted to ask the other party, "Who are you?", but a familiar voice came to her ears: "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, I am Lingfeng."

After finding out the other party's identity, Nan Yingzhi stopped struggling and waited quietly for Lingfeng to tell her the reason.

Looking around the room, Lingfeng stuffed Nan Yingzhi into a thick sheet. While covering Nan Yingzhi with the quilt, he explained, "The Emperor is here, please bear with it."

After struggling to make a small gap from the heavy blanket, Nan Yingzhi stretched out her hand to give Lingfeng an "OK" sign. After thinking for a moment, she turned her hand to Erkang to keep Lingfeng: "Wait, if you can go out, why don't you take me with you?"

Ling Feng spoke quickly: "There are guards outside. It would be too obvious to use Qinggong to fly into the air. I can't get out either. But I have practiced the art of hiding my breath, so it is not easy to be detected."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared into the air.

Coincidentally, Yun Ting's voice was heard outside.

"Ms. Lian," Yun Ting smiled and said indifferently as he glanced at the xylophone placed in the courtyard and Yun Ji's blushing cheeks, "Will it be so hot that your face will turn red and sweat when you play the xylophone in the courtyard on this day?"

Yun Ji lied without changing his expression: "I just ran around in the yard for a while to exercise, so I was sweating a little."

"Running?" Hearing this word, Yun Ting said in a playful tone, "I heard that you were too sick to get out of bed, and couldn't even go to pay your respects. It was precisely because I was afraid that you were seriously ill and something had happened to you that I came to see you."

Staring at Yun Ji's eyes, Yun Ting's tone changed from relaxed to interrogative: "How come I came here now and saw that you are not only fine, but you can even run in the yard?"

After a few seconds of thinking, Yun Ji slowly covered his lips with a handkerchief, coughed away the blush on his face, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm just holding on."

Before Yun Ting could say anything, Yun Ji coughed a few more times.

Yun Ting frowned and waited patiently until Yun Ji had finished coughing for a while and was ready to take a breath. Then he adjusted his breathing and tried to speak again.

Unexpectedly, it was interrupted by Yun Ji's cough.

After being interrupted so many times, Yun Ting could no longer bear it and yelled at Yun Ji: "Lady Lian, are you doing this on purpose? Do you have to cough when I'm talking?"

When Yun Ji heard this, he shook his head repeatedly. It was not that he intended to go against Yun Ting, but after coughing, his throat felt itchy and he really couldn't hold it back.

"Tsk," Yun Ting, annoyed by Yun Ji's cough, told Gao Shu, "Call Chen Hong over."

Not understanding why Yun Ting always called for Doctor Chen to see him, Yun Ji hurriedly tried to refuse between coughs: "No, it's not necessary."

Suspecting that Yun Ji was faking illness, Yun Ting signaled Gao Shu to send someone to invite him without further ado.

Looking at Yun Ji's pale face, Yun Ting spoke in a heavy tone, full of criticism: "Ah Lian, why do you always dislike accepting medical treatment? If you don't let the imperial physician see you, when will your illness be cured?"

Without waiting for Yun Ji to explain, Yun Ting walked into the hall, leaving behind a word "be obedient".

Seeing Yun Ting was about to go inside, Yun Ji's heart was alarmed. He didn't even bother to cover his mouth with a handkerchief. He quickly reached out to grab the corner of Yun Ting's clothes to stop him from going in.

You know, Nan Yingzhi is inside. Although Yun Ji knows that Ling Feng will definitely find a place for her to hide, there are no valuable things in Zhuixia Palace that can be seen through at a glance, and there is no hidden place.

Secondly, as long as Yun Ting goes in, Nan Yingzhi will face the risk of being exposed. On the contrary, if Yun Ting does not go in, Nan Yingzhi will be very safe.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to never let Yun Ting in.

"doing what?"

Yun Ting didn't understand why Yun Ji reached out to pull him when he entered the room. In addition, Yun Ji's indifferent attitude just now made Yun Ting angry. He impatiently shook off Yun Ji's hand.

There is a huge difference in physical strength between men and women, and Yun Ting did not conserve his strength, so Yun Ji was pushed away and fell to the ground in an instant.

Even though he adjusted his landing posture in time, Yun Ji still felt a burning pain in his elbow.

The attendants around were all Yun Ting's men, and they only acted according to Yun Ting's expression.

Seeing that Yun Ting was angry, they all tacitly did not help Yun Ji, but just watched him with their eyes and nose, and concentrated on being wooden men.

Looking down at Yun Ji who was struggling to support himself, Yun Ting patted the corner of Yun Ji's clothes as if he was disgusted by the dirt, and said in a cold tone: "It's windy outside, do you want me to catch a cold?"

"It is morning now, and there are many official matters that need to be dealt with urgently. All of them are more important than my illness." Yun Ji coughed a few times and continued, trying to make her words smooth. "I do not want to delay your majesty's business because of my own reasons."

"I'm just going to sit in for a while, how can it cause any trouble?" Yun Ting seemed to have realized something and spoke slowly, "It's really strange. Aren't you usually as sullen as a saw-mouthed gourd and unwilling to let me touch you? Why did you go against your usual behavior today and come up to pull at the corner of my clothes?"

Seeing Yun Ji didn't say anything, Yun Ting raised his eyebrows and expressed his guess: "You are being so hesitant, could it be that there is something in the palace that I can't bear to see?"
