Originally, after coming out of the Cining Palace, Ye Ling planned to go to the Kunning Palace.

After all, before leaving Cining Palace last night, he had personally promised the Queen that she would go to Kunning Palace to see him after she was done with her work today.

For the first time in his life, Ye Ling actually kept his promise.

Not to mention him, even Gu An beside him felt so relieved when he saw that the emperor didn't need his reminder at all and took the initiative to walk towards Kunning Palace.

Your Majesty, he...

Really changed.

Gradually he came to realize that there were three thousand beauties in his harem, all of whom were eagerly waiting for his visit in their own bedrooms. The emperor finally realized his responsibilities and was no longer just hanging himself on the crooked tree of Concubine Xia.

However, the emperor had just taken a few steps towards Kunning Palace when he saw a graceful figure walking in a hurry and actually threw herself into his arms.

Not only was the emperor stunned, but even the woman who was in his arms was obviously stunned.

Then she suddenly reacted. After seeing who she had bumped into, Zhang Ying was so scared that she quickly knelt on the ground. She couldn't help but tremble at this moment: "Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me! I didn't mean to bump into Your Majesty. I just..."

Ye Ling glanced at her indifferently. She looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

"Your Majesty, isn't this Concubine Zhang? The Concubine Zhang who is very close to Concubine Wu."

With Gu An's reminder in his ear, Ye Ling suddenly remembered that when he went to Ruyi Palace two days ago, the woman standing next to Wu Qingying seemed to be Zhang Ying.

His expression was not very good, he just glanced at Zhang Guiren expressionlessly and said, "Where are you going in such a panic?"

"This……"

Zhang Ying knelt on the ground, looking embarrassed.

Seeing her hesitant look, Gu An smiled and said, "Lady Zhang, the emperor doesn't like women who don't tell the truth. Moreover, you just offended the emperor. If you don't have a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid this..."

When Concubine Zhang heard this, her beautiful face turned pale instantly, and her eyes turned red at that moment. She looked at Ye Ling eagerly, feeling wronged and afraid: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I... I..."

Finally, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said with a fearless expression: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to hide anything from you, but... I just don't dare to say it..."

Seeing Zhang Ying's trembling expression, Ye Ling couldn't help but become interested: "Oh? You don't dare to say?"

"What are you afraid to say?"

Zhang Ying knelt on the ground, her face becoming paler and paler, and many beads of sweat appeared on her fair forehead.

She looked like she was in extreme panic and fear.

This made Ye Ling a little interested. If Zhang Ying wanted to attract his interest in this way, he had to say...

The emperor's deep eyes narrowed slightly. She was really successful. Her tricks were much better than those common tricks used by the women in the harem to seduce him.

At least for him, Zhang Ying's methods were quite novel.

It was something he had never seen in other women.

"Speak, I forgive you."

The emperor said so, but Zhang Ying was still a little hesitant.

Only when she saw the emperor's impatience did Zhang Ying kneel on the ground and close her eyes and blurt out the words she dared not to say: "It's... It's Concubine Xia..."

As soon as he heard Xia Wanning's name, Ye Ling's handsome face turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just because he hadn't been to the Weiyang Palace for three days in a row didn't mean he didn't want to go. Even when he was favoring Wu Zhaoyi last night, he even mistook Wu Zhaoyi for Xia Wanning in his excitement. The word "Wan'er" that came out of his mouth made the delicate body under him stiffen.

Fortunately, Wu Qingying was smart and pretended not to hear his emotional outburst.

Although Ye Ling hadn't been to Weiyang Palace for three days, it didn't mean that he didn't trust Xia Wanning, or even...

As early as yesterday, if the Queen Mother had not suddenly come to say those words to him, he might have been unable to resist going to the Weiyang Palace after hearing that Xia Wanning had closed the palace gates.

Although the emperor's face showed calmness, it was obvious to both Gu An and Zhang Ying that his tall and agile body jerked when he heard Concubine Xia's name.

It seems that the status of this imperial concubine in the emperor's heart is quite significant.

Gu An couldn't help but shook his head and sighed secretly.

However, Concubine Zhang was close to Concubine Wu, so he was not afraid that Concubine Zhang would speak for Concubine Xia.

At this time, Concubine Zhang appeared in such a place and acted flustered. It seemed that she knew some unknown secrets of Concubine Xia.

That's why Concubine Zhang acted so panicked and didn't dare to tell the Emperor.

In a word...

That is, the Imperial Concubine mentioned by Concubine Zhang, whatever comes out of her mouth must be detrimental to the Imperial Concubine.

As long as it is not beneficial to Concubine Xia, Gu An will feel relieved.

Ye Ling had tried very hard to appear expressionless, but when he heard Xia Wanning's name, he instinctively and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with the imperial concubine?"

Zhang Ying stammered, "It's like this, Your Majesty. Today, I accidentally passed by the Weiyang Palace. When I saw that the gate of the Weiyang Palace was closed, I became curious and went over to take a look..."

The gate of the Weiyang Palace was very large. Once it was closed, especially from the inside, it was no exaggeration to say that even if you were a bird or an animal, you could only see one side of the Weiyang Palace.

What's more, the gate of Weiyang Palace is magnificent, spectacular and gorgeous.

When Zhang Ying craned her neck to look, the shadow cast by the door made it hard for her to breathe due to her thin and fragile body. It was so majestic and tall.

Apart from the gate of Weiyang Palace, she could not see anything at all.

only……

"When I was approaching the Weiyang Palace, I vaguely heard people arguing inside. So out of curiosity, I put my ear against the tightly closed door of the Weiyang Palace. Then... then..."

Having said this, Zhang Ying couldn't help but hesitate again.

Ye Ling's voice also turned cold at this moment: "And then what? Keep talking!"

"Then I heard..."

Zhang Ying gritted her teeth and risked her life: "I dare not hide it from the emperor. I heard the servant inside said anxiously that he wanted to invite a doctor for Concubine Xia. From the tone of his voice, it seems that Concubine Xia is seriously ill, so seriously that she needs to invite a doctor immediately, otherwise Concubine Xia will..."
