Why mess with her? Even the emperor has to pamper her.

He Ning looked at Yun Qianming with a complicated expression and said, "Since Lian'er is gone, there's no one to help you take the beating. Then these boards can only be hit on you! Hit me!"

At the command, the guards started beating.

Yun Qianming, with his mouth blocked, couldn't shout. He wanted to struggle but was held tightly by the guards and couldn't resist at all.

Just after the twenty strokes of the cane, he fainted.

Looking at the unconscious Yun Qianming, Yun Chuwei commented: "He is much weaker than the prince. The prince fainted after being beaten with thirty sticks!"

He Ning: ...

She couldn't comment on that.

She could only have someone take Yun Qianming back home, and ask the doctor in the mansion to check him and take good care of him.

After doing all this, He Ning looked at Yun Chuwei and said softly, "Weiwei, didn't you say you were tired? Go back and rest!"

Yun Chuwei looked at He Ning and said slowly: "You know I'm a Taoist priest, right?"

He Ning nodded slightly.

My mother-in-law had said before that in order to thank a Taoist priest for saving her life, she gave Yun Chuwei to that priest as his apprentice.

She once resisted, but her mother-in-law insisted on her own way and didn't listen to her at all.

Yun Chuwei continued: "I am a Taoist priest, so of course I can tell fortunes."

He Ning hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Yun Chuwei stretched out her hand towards He Ning and said, "You and I are destined to be together. Why don't you give me some money and I'll tell you your fortune?"

Although she didn't quite understand why He Ning suddenly stood on her side, He Ning did help her after all.

Because of her experience in the previous life, even if she didn't tell the fortune, she knew that He Ning would not live long.

When she first met He Ning, she didn't want to care about He Ning's life or death. She thought that she could secretly collect relevant evidence, and after He Ning died, she would bring the person who killed her to justice, which would also be considered as fulfilling the mother-daughter relationship.

But later, He Ning chose to stand on her side, and she felt that she should tell He Ning's fortune.

He Ning, however, didn't quite believe that Yun Chuwei could tell fortunes.

Those who are good at fortune-telling and interpreting divinations are all elderly. How old is your daughter?

Besides, she didn't think she could really learn anything from a mountain Taoist priest.

However, she still took out a few silver bills and handed them to Yun Chuwei.

She said solemnly: "From now on, if Weiwei wants to have her fortune told, she should go to her mother and not go out to have her fortune told for other people, okay?"

She felt that there would be no consequences for her daughter's deception.

If you go out and cheat people, you might get into trouble.

Yun Chuwei raised his eyebrows slightly and ignored He Ning.

She took a silver note from He Ning's hand, put it in her arms, and then looked at He Ning seriously.

He Ning held the remaining banknotes and wanted to say something, but when she met Yun Chuwei's serious gaze, she was speechless.

After a moment, Yun Chuwei opened his mouth and broke the silence.

"The Children's Palace has evil lines, and the Husband and Wife's Palace has dark flaws. The two are connected, forming a subtle omen of evil."

He Ning was slightly startled and asked subconsciously: "What did you say?"

Yun Chuwei glanced around and saw that there was no one else nearby, so she continued in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This face means that you will die at the hands of your husband and children. From the look of your face, I can see that you are poisoned inside, and it should be a chronic toxin."

Yun Chuwei finished speaking and prepared to leave.

He Ning reached out his hand and grabbed Yun Chuwei: "You are making it up, right?"

"That's all I have to say. Take care of yourself!" Yun Chuwei pushed He Ning's hand away, then called the maid standing in the distance to take her away.

The divination has been completed and she has done everything she should do. Whether He Ning believes it or not has nothing to do with her anymore.

After watching Yun Chuwei leave, He Ning hurried back to his room.

She couldn't remain calm when she thought of the fortune Yun Chuwei had told her.

Nanny Song, who was beside He Ning, noticed that something was wrong with He Ning.

Nanny Song closed the door, then came to He Ning, poured her a cup of tea, and asked in a low voice: "Madam, what happened?"

He Ning forced herself to calm down. She picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and then whispered, "Go outside and find a doctor. It's best if he's an expert in poisons."

Although Nanny Song didn't know why the lady went outside to find a doctor, she felt that the lady must have her reasons for doing so.

So she agreed and left.

Nanny Song had only taken two steps when He Ning called her back.

"Why don't I just leave the house! You should make arrangements and don't let anyone know that I'm going out to see a doctor!"

If what Yun Chuwei said was true, it would prove that the person who wanted to harm her was right next to her and she had to be on guard.

Asking a doctor to come into the house could easily alert the enemy.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, it would be better for her to go out and ask a doctor to see her.

And now, the only person she can trust is her wet nurse, Nanny Song.

Nanny Song felt He Ning's seriousness and wanted to ask something, but finally she held back.

She nodded and hurried away.

-

Nanny Song was very capable and quickly arranged everything for He Ning.

He Ning got on the carriage and soon arrived outside a medicine house.

Yaolu is located outside the city. Although it is away from the official road, it has convenient transportation.

Moreover, this place is surrounded by mountains and water, and the scenery is beautiful.

The owner of the medicine house is Dr. Li, a retired doctor from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

After leaving the Imperial Medical Bureau, Doctor Li came to the outskirts of the capital and built this medical clinic in order to make it more convenient for people inside and outside the city to seek medical treatment and to better save the dying and the wounded.

Doctor Li was a little surprised to see He Ning.

According to He Ning's identity, she could find a regular imperial physician to see her, so there was no need for her to come outside the city to find him.

So, he bowed to He Ning and then asked, "Mrs. Yun, why are you here?"

He Ning returned the greeting before answering, "I've been feeling very uncomfortable lately. I suspect I've been poisoned, so I came to you to help me. However, I don't want anyone to know until this matter is concluded."

Doctor Li nodded in understanding after hearing this. The reason why Madam Yun came to see him was because he was not very noticeable here.

Doctor Li said, "I understand what you mean, Madam. Please sit down and I will take your pulse."

He Ning sat down as he was told and placed his hand on the wrist pillow used for taking pulses.

Doctor Li stretched out his hand and pressed it on He Ning's wrist. The longer he listened to the pulse, the deeper his frown became.

He Ning was calm and didn't move, allowing Doctor Li to take his pulse.

However, Nanny Song could no longer sit still.

"Doctor Li, how is my wife? Please say something!"

Doctor Li did not answer immediately. He was silent for a long time before he said to He Ning, "Madam's pulse... We cannot determine whether Madam is ill or not. If we want to determine whether her body is poisoned, we may need to bleed her."

"This..." Nanny Song frowned slightly and wanted to speak up to stop it, but she didn't know whether she should stop it or not.

He Ning didn't hesitate at all and said directly: "Then let the blood flow."
