Yun Zhining's body had not recovered yet. Even if Qi Yejing wanted to favor her again, he could not choose this time. He stayed with her for a while, coaxed Little Grape, and watched her fall asleep before taking Dong Ling back to Longqian Palace.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in Qingning Palace instantly became relaxed.

After closing the door and pulling Zhou Baozhu to sit down, Yun Zhining reached out and touched her forehead, saying with some heartache.

"Does it hurt?"

Zhou Baozhu shook her head.

"Sister, won't you scold me?"

"Why should I scold you?"

"Because of my impulsiveness, I embarrassed you in front of so many people. I am really sorry."

"Silly girl, isn't everything you did for me? If I scold you, will I be able to live with my conscience?"

Zhou Baozhu threw herself into her arms, and her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled down.

Yun Zhining patted her on the back and sighed softly.

"However, as you can see, there are not only many beauties in this year's show, but each of them is very clever, so you must be careful in the future and try not to provoke them if you have nothing to do."

"Of course, if they provoke you or bully you for no reason, you don't have to be polite. As long as no one dies, I can protect you."

She had played a game of chess with Qi Yejing before. She racked her brains and put in a lot of effort, and finally defeated Qi Yejing. Qi Yejing also kept his word and gave her a golden medal of immunity from death according to the previous agreement. It can be used three times. After three times, he will take back the golden medal of immunity from death.

Of course, she would not take out such a precious thing casually. She must use it at the critical moment.

Zhou Baozhu nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, sister. I'll remember it."

"Okay, it's getting late, go back and get some rest. I want to sleep too."

"great, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Although she had asked the system to buy medicine for heatstroke in advance when she fainted in Fengyi Palace, Yun Zhining was indeed not feeling well today. After sending Zhou Baozhu away, she went to bed to rest.

After having a dream of being chased all night, she felt sore all over and dizzy when she woke up.

"Qingzhu, please go to Fengyi Palace in person and ask for leave from the Queen Mother on my behalf, so that no one can catch me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qingzhu bowed slightly, turned around and left.

In Fengyi Palace, the Queen learned that Yun Zhining was unable to get up, so she asked someone to bring some tonic to Qingzhu.

Xiner frowned slightly.

"I heard that the noble concubine had woken up last night, so why did she fall down again this morning? Could it be that she lost face in front of so many people yesterday and was too embarrassed to come and pay her respects to the Empress, fearing that she would be laughed at?"

The Queen sneered.

"If Yun Zhining was really such a thin-skinned person, she would have died under the ridicule of Concubine Zhou. How could she have given birth to two princesses and a prince for the emperor within three years, and transformed from a small maid into a favored concubine in the harem?"

"She didn't look very well when she came yesterday. She probably got sunburned while boating on the lake. Then she saw that the emperor had a new lover. Then Concubine Feng caught Zhou Baozhu, who was so close to her, and she must have collapsed. With these three things happening together, her health must have collapsed."

"I must be really sick today."

Xin'er nodded and breathed a sigh of relief silently.

"Then your Majesty, do you think that Concubine Ming will win this round, or Concubine Feng?"

"I don't know, but..."

The queen's lips curled up into a meaningful smile.

"No matter who wins or loses, I am the biggest winner."

"That's natural."

Yun Zhining was ill for a month, and there were ten more concubines in the harem. However, the most favored one was not those with strong backgrounds and supporters, but a little selected concubine.

This concubine was a bit strange. Not only did she live in Furong Pavilion with Concubine Feng, but she also...

In Qingning Palace, Imperial Doctor Chen was taking Yun Zhining's pulse.

"Doctor Chen, am I fully recovered?"

Doctor Chen shook his head upon hearing this.

"Your Highness usually looks healthy, but after all, she just gave birth to the Third Princess and the Fourth Prince not long ago, and the loss has not been made up yet. She suddenly fell ill, so she needs to take good care of herself."

"The weather has been hot lately, and the sun is very strong outside. Your Majesty should stay in Qingning Palace. After another month, when you are fully recovered, you can take the eldest princess out to play, okay?"

Still need to raise it?

Yun Zhining lifted her sleeves, and under her sleeves, she quickly took her own pulse, and looked at Doctor Chen with a meaningful look.

"Doctor Chen, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

A trace of panic flashed across the eyes of the imperial physician Chen. He quickly shook his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Even if you give me ten times the courage, I would not dare to deceive you!"

"I dare not leave you alone, go down."

"Wei Chen retire."

After watching Doctor Chen leave, Yun Zhining stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked outside.

Qingzhu's eyelids jumped and he quickly reached out to stop her.

"My lady, where are you going?"

"I haven't left Qingning Palace for a month. I finally feel a little better now, so of course I have to go out for a walk."

"Why, you want to go too?"

"Let's go together!"

"no!"

Qingzhu blurted out, and saw Yun Zhining's face turn cold. Her knees went weak and she fell to the ground in an instant. It was a hot day, but she was covered in cold sweat.

"Tell me the truth, what happened?"
