Zhuixia Palace.

Touching the bowl, Lan Fu found it was cold. She quickly picked up the medicine and handed it to Yun Ji: "Miss, please drink the medicine quickly, it's getting cold."

Yun Ji was lying on the couch, reading a book quietly. Hearing this, he turned the page and said, "I don't want to drink."

The wind was blowing in from the door. Yun Ji coughed a few times and wrapped his Nan Yingzhi coat tightly around himself.

He hated seeing a doctor, not only because he didn't want to expose his vulnerable side to others, but also because he didn't like to endure hardship.

Strangely enough, influenced by Concubine Jing, Yun Ji couldn't eat sweets, but for some reason, he also hated bitter food.

Unfortunately, the medicines prescribed by the doctor were usually bitter traditional Chinese medicine, paired with a piece of sweet and greasy candied fruit, the precision of which was difficult for him to accept.

Therefore, every time he was sick, he would just endure it. If he really couldn't stand it, he would just pinch his nose and drink it in one gulp.

Lan Fu took out the candied fruit that comes with Chinese medicine and advised earnestly: "But only if you take the medicine will your body get better. Otherwise, your illness will never be cured..."

After talking for a long time, Lan Fu found that Yun Ji was not listening at all. He just focused on reading his book and ignored her words. So she used her ultimate move.

She said with great emotion: "If the Regent knew that you don't take care of your body, he would probably secretly wipe your tears for you somewhere. Miss, even if you don't do it for yourself, you should consider the Regent for a while!"

"Stop talking." Thinking of Nan Yingzhi, Yun Ji's heart softened. He put down the book and picked up the medicine bowl helplessly, "Can't I drink it?"

Finally seeing the young lady obediently, Lan Fu breathed a sigh of relief. She stared at Yun Ji and watched her drink the medicine without spilling a drop. She handed the candy to Yun Ji and said, "Here, this is a reward!"

Yun Ji picked up the cup for rinsing his mouth and rinsed his mouth with warm water. He gently pushed Lan Fu's hand away and said, "No need."

Lan Fu wanted to say something else, but Yun Ji stopped her.

That kind of indifference seems to be the demeanor that only people who have been in high positions for a long time can possess.

Although she didn't know why the young lady, who always loved sweets, didn't want to eat candy today, and her temperament was completely different from before, Lan Fu thought about it and attributed it to the fact that the young lady fell, so the change was quite big.

Hearing the rustling sound of rain outside, Lan Fu put away the medicine bowl and went to close the window.

Feeling the slight chill blowing towards her face, Lan Fu sighed: "Miss, the weather has turned colder."

"Well," Yun Ji was lying on the couch after drinking the medicine, and his tone was calm. "You can also announce to the public that I was caught in the rain and caught a cold, so I couldn't pay my respects. That's great."

Feeling that the young lady was not very enthusiastic about paying respects, Lan Fu closed the window tightly and muttered, "It's not a good idea for you to ask for leave every day like this."

"No matter if it's a solution or not," Yun Ji was still thinking about how to start Jin An's plan. He hugged the hot water bottle tightly and continued to refuse, "Gu, cough, I don't want to move again."

Noticing that the open palace door was letting in a slight breeze, Lan Fu closed the window and walked to the door, wanting to close it. Suddenly, she noticed a few figures outside.

In the pouring rain, the maid holding an umbrella for the middle woman yelled, "Don't close the door!"

Lan Fu took a closer look and recognized who they were. She quickly opened the door and welcomed them in: "Your servant greets Her Majesty Empress Xian. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health."

Since there was only one umbrella, and it was of course held for the most honorable Concubine Xian, everyone except Concubine Xian was soaked in the rain, looking particularly embarrassed.

Yun Ji was resting with his eyes closed. When he heard the noise, he slowly opened his eyes.

Glancing at Concubine Xian and her attendants, Yun Ji felt confused. He and Concubine Xian were just nodding acquaintances, and they had no other interactions except paying their respects.

He is being too attentive for no reason. He is either a traitor or a thief. She even rushes to him in the heavy rain. What does Empress Xian want to do?

Although he didn't want to move, Yun Ji still followed the etiquette and bowed: "Empress Xian, why are you here?"

After being arranged to sit in the main seat, Empress Xian looked around and said with regret: "Sister, why is there not even a heater here? It's very cold."

Silently tightening the hot water bottle in his hand, Yun Ji chuckled: "My sister is not high enough to use it. All she has is a hand warmer."

After a few more pleasantries, Empress Xian got down to business and told the reason why she came: "I heard that my sister was seriously ill and that the Emperor had troubled him to personally invite Doctor Chen to see her. As her elder sister, I felt so distressed that I came to see her."

Hearing her words, Yun Ji complained in his heart, what a "laboring emperor".

Not knowing what Yun Ji was thinking, Concubine Xian smiled and said, "It's a pity that it started raining on the way just when we were halfway there. I just smelled the smell of medicine in this room. I think my sister must have taken medicine. Did I disturb her rest?"

Unable to tell whether Concubine Xian had any ill intentions, Yun Ji answered cautiously, "No."

"Bring some cakes," Empress Xian smiled tenderly as she asked the maid to present the cake box. "I made some cakes myself, I hope you will accept them."

"Thank you, Madam." Glancing at the box that seemed to smell sweet, Yun Ji endured a moment of discomfort. "It's great that you came. You also brought some pastries. That's really thoughtful of you."

"It's just some food, not very precious," Empress Xian's eyes were gentle, "If you like it, I'll send someone to deliver it next time."

Without making it clear whether he liked it or not, Yun Ji just said politely: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

The two sat face to face, listening to the sound of rain gradually subsiding.

Feeling that there was nothing to say if she stayed any longer, and the gift had already been delivered, Concubine Xian stood up, holding a handkerchief in her hand: "The smell of medicine has not yet dissipated in the room, my sister needs to rest more. The rain outside has stopped, so I will not disturb my sister's rest any more."

"Have a safe journey, sister." Yun Ji coughed a few times, "I am not feeling well, so I can't see you off."

Empress Xian didn't pay much attention to his rudeness: "It's okay, you can have a good rest."

When Concubine Xian disappeared, Yun Ji's expression turned cold. He looked up at the box of cakes and told Lan Fu, "Lan Fu, check it with a silver needle."
