Dong Ling has made his words so clearly, and Nanny Qi also knows what is more important.

"Thank you for your advice, eunuch. I will take good care of Lady Ming and make her recover soon."

Seeing that Nanny Qi understood, Dong Ling took people out, closed the door of Furong Pavilion, and arranged a team of guards to guard it.

Yun Zhining smashed the Buddhist beads that Empress Dowager Xiaoci had given to Concubine Zhou and was beaten up by her. The Emperor also ordered the closure of the door of Furong Pavilion. The news that even the imperial physician was not allowed spread quickly throughout the harem. Concubine Sun was so happy that she ate two more bowls of rice and sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician in the middle of the night, becoming a new joke in the harem.

When Yun Zhining woke up, it was already dusk. Concubine Zhou had been too cruel, and she deliberately showed her weak side in front of the Queen Mother and Qi Yejing, and did not use a protective shield, so she was in pain all over. She forced herself to get up and drink a glass of spiritual spring water, and then she felt a little better.

"Come, someone come..."

Qingzhu had been guarding outside and rushed in immediately after hearing the noise.

"My lord, you, you're awake!"

That’s great! As long as the young master wakes up, there will be a chance to turn things around.

Otherwise, they would definitely be killed by Concubine Zhou.

She was not worried about whether she would live or die, but the young lady had just entered the palace and was at her prime. It would be too tragic if she died like this.

Yun Zhining glanced at her face, which looked a little gloomy. "What happened? Why do you look so bad?"

Qingzhu tried to hold back, but in the end couldn't help it and told the whole story.

After listening, she fell silent.

Qingzhu thought she was frightened by the emperor's cruelty and ruthlessness, so she quickly spoke to comfort her.

"No matter how the Emperor, Empress Dowager Xiaoci, and Concubine Zhou view you, I and Madam Qi believe in you. Your Majesty is always very observant when handling government affairs. I believe that he will quickly find out the truth this time and give you justice."

"It's just that I never knew that the young lady had such a good relationship with Concubine Zhou. I would rather bear the infamy than see her being assassinated."

"You think too much!"

Yun Zhining glanced out the window and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Although Concubine Zhou and I are both concubines, to put it bluntly, we are actually competitors. The more favored she is, the less favored I am. Naturally, I will not be so kind."

"But the eldest prince is innocent."

"He is so gentle, kind, and polite. When he grows up, he will surely help the emperor and bring benefits to the people. How can I watch him get killed?"

"How can I?"

Qingzhu had dealt with the eldest prince several times and understood Yun Zhining's feelings.

"The eldest prince is indeed a good boy. Concubine Zhou may have many flaws, but she has done a good job in this regard. However, my lady, you should not be too selfless. Next time you encounter something like this, don't get involved, otherwise you will be the only one who gets hurt in the end."

"No!"

Yun Zhining shook her head and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

"Next time I encounter something like this, I will do the same thing, but I will not be so reckless and put myself in danger, nor let you suffer with me."

"I am not afraid of suffering, but I am afraid that my lady will suffer!"

But the master had already made up his mind, and as a servant she had no way to stop it. She could only sacrifice her life to accompany her master.

I hope God will be merciful and kind to their kind master, and not let her die at such a young age.

"Did she really say that?"

In Longqian Palace, after hearing the report from the palace maid, Qi Yejing frowned.

The green-clad maid nodded and spoke cautiously.

"I was lying outside the window and heard Concubine Ming tell Qingzhu that the reason she acted like that today was not because she had any feelings for Concubine Zhou, but because she didn't want such a good person like the eldest prince to be murdered by such dirty means in the harem and lose his life in vain."

"She hopes that the eldest prince can grow up healthy and peacefully, share the emperor's worries, and work for the welfare of the people. This way, he can give full play to his intelligence and prove to the court and the people that he is worthy of being the emperor's son and is excellent."

With every extra word the palace maid said, Qi Yejing's expression became uglier.

Of course, he was not angry at Yun Zhining, but at the bunch of good-for-nothings in the Imperial Hospital.

There are more than a hundred people in the Imperial Medical Service, but not one of them can find the problem. What's the use of them?

Yun Zhining clearly just did a good thing, but ended up like this. Who will dare to speak up and point out potential dangers in the future?

In this case, wouldn't he and his two mothers be in danger?

No, even if it is for the safety of the two mothers, we must get to the bottom of this matter and find out who is behind this?

As for Yun Zhining, I will have to bear with her for now, and compensate her properly after this matter is over.

After living a new life, Yun Zhining's mind was obviously much clearer. She had known for a long time that Qi Yejing had planted a spy in Furong Pavilion, and she also knew who that person was, but she did not take the opportunity to find fault and drive the person out.

Firstly, the concubines in the harem would find fault with her and say that she couldn't even tolerate a little palace maid. Secondly, it would make Qi Yejing alert and think that she was not as innocent as she looked. If she was framed in the future, Qi Yejing would not believe that she was innocent, and she would be in trouble.

Didn’t that person just now come in handy?

It's just acting, but you act like everyone knows how to do it.

Although the situation outside was stormy, Furong Pavilion was peaceful and tranquil. However, this peace and tranquility did not last long and was soon broken.

Yun Zhining broke the blessed Buddhist beads given to her by Empress Dowager Xiaoci. Not only did the emperor not demote her, he didn't even scold her. Instead, he locked her up in Furong Pavilion and kept her well fed. How could Concubine Zhou tolerate this?

She sent a palace maid to the imperial kitchen to give some "gives", and the food in Furong Pavilion instantly dropped several levels.

At first they just reduced the portions, then all the food was cold, and later they directly served stale food and rice.

The masters all received this treatment, and the servants under them were even worse off. In less than three days, they could not bear it any longer and found ways to leave. The Furong Pavilion, which was originally somewhat crowded, suddenly became much emptier.

Qingzhu came in carrying a bowl of lotus seed soup and said indignantly.

"These two are all flatterers who flatter the powerful and bully the weak. When the young lady was promoted, they all expressed their loyalty and said that no matter what happened, they would not leave Furong Pavilion. But the young lady was locked up for only a few days, and they couldn't stand it anymore. They all looked for people to get them out. This is too much."
