This is the first time in his life that His Majesty the Emperor has shown weakness.

"I just want you to comfort me more and spend more time with me. Why are you so angry?"

"I'm just angry, what can you do to me?"

"It's not good for women to get angry. It makes them age faster."

"Thank you for giving birth to three children for you. I have aged a lot both inside and out. I don't care about the aging caused by anger anymore."

"It won't look good when you get older."

"Qi Yejing, do you really want to piss me off to death?"

Yun Zhining couldn't control her temper and started screaming.

This scream also alarmed Dong Ling who was guarding outside.

He quickly pushed open the door and saw the emperor, who had said he was tired and was sleeping in bed, sitting on the bed and looking at the person opposite him as if he had done something wrong, while Ming Guipin, who was supposed to be looking after the children in Qingning Palace, appeared in Longqian Palace.

When did she come in? How come he doesn't know anything?

Dong Ling's gaze slowly shifted to the half-open rear window, and he understood instantly.

"My lady, what's wrong with you? Who made you so angry?"

"Who else could it be except your emperor?"

Yun Zhining glared at Qi Yejing, then turned and fixed her gaze on Dong Ling, saying unhappily.

"I made some food, and you came by just in time to watch him finish it."

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first and come back to see him later."

"My lady, please don't leave."

Dong Ling is indeed the person who understands Qi Yejing the best. When he saw Yun Zhining was about to leave, he immediately spoke up to stop her.

"The emperor is ill and needs careful care, but I have to help the emperor sort out the memorials. I don't have time to take care of the emperor, and the people below are also worried."

"Your Highness, please stay here and take care of the Emperor. As for what needs to be done, leave it to me. I will definitely help you to do it properly."

Yun Zhining frowned when she heard the voice.

"As a concubine, taking care of the sick emperor is something I would love to do, but the problem is, I also have to take care of Little Strawberry and Little Pomelo!"

"You don't have to worry about that, Your Majesty. Isn't Zhou Liangyuan in Qingning Palace? She will definitely take good care of the eldest princess, the third princess, and the fourth prince."

"If your majesty is still worried, I will send someone to Changchun Palace to ask Madam Lin to help you take care of the children for a few days. The Second Prince loves the eldest princess and the others so much, and he will definitely help Madam Lin take good care of them."

Receiving Dong Ling's gaze, Qi Yejing immediately half-lay on the bed, clenched his fists and coughed lightly a few times, looking weak.

"Forget it, Dong Ling, since Ming Guipin is so anxious to go back and take care of Xiao Pu Tao and the others, then just let her go."

"Anyway, I always endured my illnesses alone before, and I will definitely be able to get through this time as well."

"Alright, stop acting. I'll stay and take care of the emperor. Is that okay?"

The master and servant exchanged glances and were both delighted.

After worrying for the whole morning, she cooked some food for Qi Yejing herself. After he arrived, she acted out a few scenes with him. Yun Zhining needed to replenish her energy urgently, so she watched Qi Yejing finish his meal. After cleaning up, she planned to lie on the couch and rest for a while.

But Qi Yejing refused and insisted on pulling her to bed to rest.

Yun Zhining was angry and annoyed.

"You're already sick, aren't you afraid of infecting me?"

"I'm just tired, I don't have a cold, it's not contagious."

"Besides, the couch is so small that you won't be comfortable sleeping on it. The bed is so big that we can each take one end, and it won't affect anything."

Yun Zhining took one look at the narrow couch that could only accommodate one person, then looked at the wide dragon bed that could accommodate ten people, and decisively gave up the couch.

The two of them were on the left and the right, and they did not interfere with each other.

At first Qi Yejing could still hold it back, but when he heard Yun Zhining's shallow breathing and realized that she was asleep, he couldn't hold it back anymore.

He crawled to Yun Zhining like a silkworm, then stretched his left arm behind her head and gently pushed her into his arms.

Familiar posture, familiar smell, Qi Yejing's heart finally settled down. Fatigue continued to surge up, and he fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, Yun Zhining was gone.

"Aning, Aning, where have you been?"

"I'm here."

A hoarse voice sounded, and Qi Yejing could see her position clearly.

"Why did you end up on the couch?"

"And your voice, how did it become like that?"

"How dare you say that!"

She was sleeping soundly in there, but when she woke up she found Qi Yejing holding her tightly and was unwilling to let go.

Then she felt dizzy, had a stuffy nose, tinnitus, a hoarse throat, and could hardly speak.

Doctor Chen was called in for a check-up and it turned out that he had indeed been infected by Qi Yejing.

"That's good now. I can't go back anymore. Are you satisfied?"

Qi Yejing touched the tip of his nose and said with a guilty conscience.

"I didn't mean it."

"You didn't do this to me on purpose. If you did, wouldn't I have died in your hands today?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Seeing that she was coughing so hard that she could hardly breathe, Qi Yejing hurried downstairs to find her, but was stopped by her.

"Before I get better, you just stay there. If you dare to come over, I will die in front of you."

"Okay, okay, I won't go over there. Don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive!"

After glaring at him, Yun Zhining was just about to lie down when she saw Dong Ling coming in with a pile of memorials.

"Your Majesty, I have sorted the memorials. These are the memorials of greeting. Please read them and reply casually. Those are the important matters of state, so you must read them carefully."

"Got it. Prepare the table and I will review it right away."

Dong Ling prepared everything according to Qi Yejing's instructions and was stopped by Qi Yejing just as he was about to leave.

"Tell someone to send some fresh fruit, tea and snacks to Ming Guipin, and also some storybooks or strange stories, so that she won't be bored."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely serve the noble concubine and share your worries."

"Okay, let's go down."

"The slave retire."

In a bedroom some distance away from Longqian Palace, Concubine Shu was leaning on the couch with her eyes closed, resting, when she heard footsteps coming from inside the palace.

She quickly opened her eyes and looked at the person who came.

"Have you heard about it?"

The maid nodded.

"I heard that Ming Guipin entered Longqian Palace in the afternoon and has not come out yet. Should we tell the two queen dowagers and let them teach her a lesson personally?"

"idiot!"

Concubine Shu gave her a slap in the face.

"Have you forgotten what happened last time? We hurried to find the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother Xiaoci went into Qingning Palace angrily, but came out in high spirits. Ming Guipin was not punished at all, and the Queen Mother Xiaoyan just went through the motions and didn't care about the matter at all."

"Then what should we do?"

"Come here with your ears."

The palace maid stretched her ears over and became instantly excited after listening.

"My lady, don't worry, I will do it right away."

Concubine Shu nodded with satisfaction.

Yun Zhining, you were lucky last time, but this time, you will definitely die miserably.
