Harem Daily Life

The Queen lowered her eyebrows, not knowing how else to argue. Nanny Fang was her personal attendant, and if such a person turned against her, there would be no way to save her.

She now regrets very much that she did not get rid of Nanny Fang earlier.

He Linzhang was so angry that his head suddenly hurt and he fainted.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Eunuch Zhang called out but no one responded. He quickly asked someone to call the imperial physician.

The Queen was also panicked at this time. She could never have imagined that His Majesty would faint from anger!

In Changle Palace, Mingyue came to report in a panic: "Madam, just now Eunuch Zhang sent someone to call Doctor Liu away, saying that His Majesty fainted in Fengyi Palace!"

"What?" Tao Yanyan stood up anxiously: "Why did you faint from anger? Did you encounter something upsetting?"

Mingyue didn't know either, and before she had the time to ask, the young eunuch dragged Doctor Liu away.

Tao Yanyan thought for a moment and asked Qingfeng to bring a cloak: "I am worried and have to go. You take good care of the three children."

He hurriedly went out in a sedan chair, and when he arrived at the gate of Fengyi Palace, he saw Concubine De who had just arrived at the palace gate.

Tao Yanyan was of low rank, so after paying his respects to Concubine De, the two of them entered Fengyi Palace one after the other.

The reason why Defei knew about this was that Eunuch Zhang sent someone to invite her. Now that the Queen has made His Majesty faint, Defei is the highest-ranking concubine in the harem and has to come out to take charge of the situation.

Defei didn't expect that the person who was accompanying the child in Yongxing Palace not long ago was now lying on the couch with a pale face and silver needles inserted in his head.

"Doctor Liu, what happened to His Majesty? When will he wake up?" Concubine De stepped forward and asked worriedly.

Doctor Liu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is just angry and anxious. As for when he will wake up, I can't say for sure. I'm afraid we have to wait."

Defei sighed and stepped aside, then saw the Queen sitting there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Tao Yanyan glanced at Eunuch Zhang and gave him a wink. The two of them went out one after the other and found a corner where no one was. Then Tao Yanyan asked His Majesty what had happened between the emperor and the queen.

Eunuch Zhang hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Tao Yanyan what Nanny Fang had said.

Apart from not knowing about asking the monk to buy medicine, Tao Yanyan had already heard the second princess crying about everything else, so she didn't look too surprised.

"Your Majesty was so angry that he fainted after hearing this?" Tao Yanyan still couldn't believe it. In the past, with His Majesty's firm character, how could such a thing make him so angry? It was estimated that the monk's medicine was also one of the causes.

Eunuch Zhang looked around and reminded, "This is Fengyi Palace. I think it would be better to move Your Majesty to Changle Palace or Qinzheng Palace as soon as possible."

Eunuch Zhang no longer dared to believe the Queen. If the Queen was cruel at this moment and did something to His Majesty again, the rest of them would not be able to stop her and might even be captured by the Queen.

Tao Yanyan was stunned for a moment. She had never experienced a truly cruel palace fight. In the past, it was just jealousy between concubines, which were minor fights, but she had never seen such a scene.

"Go in first. Once His Majesty wakes up, we'll move them to Changle Palace." Keep them by her side so that it will be easier to take care of them. Otherwise, with three children sick now, she would have no time to go to Qinzheng Palace to accompany them.

The two of them went in one after the other, only to see that Doctor Liu was sweating from anxiety, but the emperor showed no signs of waking up.

The Queen then spoke up, "It's getting late, and several princes and princesses are sick. You two should go back to the palace to take care of the children. His Majesty will stay in Fengyi Palace. When His Majesty wakes up, I will send someone to notify you."

De Fei was thinking about the eldest prince, so she naturally wanted to go back as soon as possible: "Then I will take my leave first."

She originally thought that Concubine Tao would also leave with her, but unexpectedly Tao Yanyan stood there without moving, so she sneered: "Concubine Tao, if you want to cling to His Majesty, don't cling so tightly. His Majesty is being taken care of by the Empress in Fengyi Palace. You should be more sensible and leave early."

Tao Yanyan said: "The Queen has to take care of the Third Princess, so why don't you let me take her away, Your Majesty, and I will take care of her."

As soon as she finished speaking, both the Queen and Concubine De were very dissatisfied.

Concubine De rolled her eyes at her and said, "You're almost there. I've never seen you like this before in the competition for favor. His Majesty is unconscious now, how do you want to move him? It's cold outside, do you want to let His Majesty go out and get some fresh air before he wakes up?"

The Queen narrowed her eyes and looked directly at Tao Yanyan: "It's fine if you robbed my own daughter, but now you have the guts to rob His Majesty?"

Defei didn't know the reason. She now stood on the Queen's side and looked at Tao Yanyan angrily.

Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "It was the Second Princess who chose me. I am just taking care of her for the Queen. As for Your Majesty, I must take him away tonight." After saying that, she glanced at Eunuch Zhang and said, "Please ask Eunuch Zhang to call a few guards to take Your Majesty away."

"How dare you!" The queen, who was originally sitting, stood up and approached Tao Yanyan step by step: "Princess Tao, you have repeatedly opposed me, what exactly do you have in mind? His Majesty is staying in Fengyi Palace to recuperate, and you also want to snatch him away. Do you still have me as the queen in your eyes?"

Tao Yanyan clenched his fists, feeling that the Queen was now ready to risk everything, which further proved that she must have some ulterior motive in keeping the Emperor.

Tao Yanyan cannot compromise. Once something happens to the emperor, she and her children will not have a good ending!

"Please don't be angry, Your Majesty. I just want to share your worries. Eunuch Zhang, go and call someone." Tao Yanyan urged, but Eunuch Zhang dodged and ignored the Queen.

Concubine De felt strange. No matter how arrogant Concubine Tao was in the past, she would never do such a thing as disobeying her superiors. What happened tonight?

Being cautious, she did not leave immediately, but chose to stay and watch the show.

The queen sneered: "I am the Queen of the Great Zhou, the first wife of His Majesty. I want to see if you have what it takes to take His Majesty away tonight! Someone, pass on my order that Concubine Tao has committed insubordination and must be taken to the Ministry of Punishment immediately. Do not let her out without my order!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the palace maids from Fengyi Palace came forward to pull people away.

When Concubine De saw that they were really trying to seize the emperor, she was so scared that she stood aside.

Qingfeng and Changtai, who were beside Tao Yanyan, immediately stepped forward to protect her and stopped the palace servants who were about to disrespect Concubine Tao.

As the scuffle was going on, Eunuch Zhang came in with a dozen guards. The two sides were on the verge of a fight and the atmosphere was extremely cold.

"Zhang Fuhai, are you on her side too? Don't forget, I am the queen. Are you willing to stand on the side of a mere concubine like her? And you guards, get out immediately. Who allowed you to enter the inner hall?" The queen was so angry that she scolded Eunuch Zhang and the others.

Eunuch Zhang bowed and said, "Empress, no matter what, today I have to obey Concubine Tao's order to take His Majesty away. I am sorry!"
