The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

Concubine Zhou has always been a person who holds grudges but not gratitude. She may not remember someone who helped her, but if someone offended her, she would definitely remember it, and she would not let it go until that person was killed.

That day, Yun Zhining broke the Buddhist beads that Empress Dowager Xiaoci had given her. Not only did she not apologize to her, she also made up a story, saying that there was something inside the beads that would endanger her health. The emperor actually believed her nonsense and took the beads to the Imperial Hospital for examination by the imperial physician.

She was very upset about this, and seeing that Qi Yejing had not summoned Yun Zhining for a long time, she hinted to the people in the imperial kitchen to deduct her share and give her leftovers.

It was thought that Yun Zhining would be tortured terribly by doing this, but who knew that she actually used money to ask the eunuch in charge of purchasing to buy some rice, flour, meat and eggs for her when he left the palace. She also planted a vegetable garden in Furong Pavilion and lived a self-sufficient life. This made Concubine Zhou very angry.

She had originally planned to have her lackeys go to Furong Pavilion and teach Yun Zhining a lesson, but Qi Yejing issued an order that no one was allowed to enter or leave Furong Pavilion. Her men couldn't get in at all, let alone teach Yun Zhining a lesson, so this matter had to be postponed.

Because of this incident, Concubine Zhou couldn't sleep day or night. Just when she was about to take a risk, good news came from the front.

Furong Pavilion has been lifted!

In other words, she could send a lackey to teach Yun Zhining a lesson.

Thinking of this, she felt very happy and slept well at night. The next morning, when she went to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects to the Queen, she was uncharacteristically not arguing with Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi was very surprised. The Queen raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she thought of something, but did not speak.

They are all a bunch of little hooves that have occupied her husband. If one dies, there will be one less. If two die, there will be a pair less. It would be best if they all died. Then she wouldn't have to worry about anyone threatening her position.

In Furong Pavilion, Yun Zhining had no idea that danger was imminent.

In August, the weather was still very hot. Yun Zhining had been out of favor for more than a month. People in the imperial kitchen dared to bully her, and people in the Palace Province naturally didn't take her seriously. Not to mention half of the ice allowance, they didn't even get a single shard of ice.

Fortunately, over the past month, she and the people of Furong Pavilion had shared the joys and sorrows, and everyone's loyalty value had greatly increased. She also gained a lot of points because of this. Seeing that everyone couldn't stand the heat, she bought a book from the mall and learned how to make ice. After two failures, she finally succeeded in making some ice.

However, the ice cannot be stored, so she has to make new ice every time after using it up.

At noon, it was too hot outside. Yun Zhining was sleeping in the bedroom. While she was sleeping, her stomach suddenly growled. She got up and asked Qingzhu to get her something to eat.

"What would you like to eat, young master?"

"Is there any breakfast left?"

"Yes, but they are just some leftovers. My lady is a noble lady, how can you eat those things?"

Yun Zhining touched her belly and said with a smile.

"Furong Pavilion is already in such a state, why am I still putting on airs here?"

"Besides, when we were eating, we each put some food into our own bowls, and we didn't use chopsticks to pick it up everywhere. If you say that these are already leftovers, then won't the pig food sent by the imperial kitchen be wronged?"

"alright."

Since she had already said so, Qingzhu could only obey her orders.

Qingzhu heated up the boiled pork slices, pork ribs with preserved plums, shredded chicken and three kinds of seafood left over from the morning and brought them in.

"My lord, eat it while it's hot."

"it is good."

Taking the chopsticks, Yun Zhining took a mouthful of rice first, then stretched out her chopsticks to the plum pork ribs, picked up a piece, and before she put it into her mouth, she felt nauseous.

As soon as her hand loosened, the plum ribs fell onto the table. She didn't bother to clean it up and just leaned on the corner of the table to retch.

Qingzhu quickly brought a spittoon. Yun Zhining felt relieved, and then she vomited several times. The more she vomited, the more uncomfortable she felt, and tears came out.

"My lady, do you have a stomachache? Would you like me to go to the Imperial Hospital and ask a doctor to check you out?"

As soon as Yun Zhining opened her mouth, she started vomiting again. Qingzhu was frightened and didn't bother to listen to her answer. She quickly called Madam Qi and Xiaokui to look after Yun Zhining. She took some silver and ran to the Imperial Hospital, not daring to delay for a moment.

Nanny Qi had served several imperial concubines before and was knowledgeable. As soon as she came in, she asked Xiaokui to clear all the things on the table and make a portion of peanuts with old vinegar. During this time, she made a cup of honey water and coaxed Yun Zhining to drink a few sips. Her condition finally improved a little.

"Mammy, the old vinegar peanuts are here."

"Bring it to the young master quickly."

It’s strange to say, but as soon as Yun Zhining smelled the sour taste, she became much more energetic and ate dozens of old vinegar peanuts in one breath. Aunt Qi was laughing so hard that wrinkles appeared on her face.

Xiaokui looked confused.

"The young lady is already ill, but you are still smiling so happily, aren't you afraid that the young lady will punish you?"

"You are still young and don't understand this."

"Then tell me, then I'll understand, right?"

"We can't be sure yet. Let's wait until Qingzhu invites the imperial physician to check the young lady's pulse before we can say anything."

"Hey, what happened to Lady Ming? She actually wants to trouble the imperial physician!"

Before Nanny Qi could finish her words, a concubine in a pink palace dress rushed in with her men in a menacing manner.

Yun Zhining stood up and bowed.

"Meet Zhang Liangdi."

"No gift."

"Thank you, Zhang Liangdi."

Zhang Liangdi sat down slowly, and the palace maid came over immediately to fan her, complaining all the time while fanning her.

"I really can't understand why you came all the way to Hibiscus Pavilion on such a hot day instead of staying in your bedroom?"

"The palace has always been a place where people curry favor with the powerful and look down on the weak. Lady Ming has been out of favor for more than a month. The Palace Department will definitely cut her allowance. When I think about the fact that she doesn't have an ice basin in her bedroom on such a hot day, I feel so heartbroken."

"Someone, come and bring me the ice I brought for Noble Ming."

"Yes, my lord."

At Zhang Liangdi's command, the young eunuch carried a bucket and placed it in front of Yun Zhining. Yun Zhining was a noble after all, so it was impossible for her to open the bucket and check it herself, so she asked Xiaokui to do it.

Xiao Kui felt something was wrong when she approached, and was stunned after she opened the lid of the barrel.

"My dear, there is water in here!"

Yun Zhining's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Zhang Liangdi, we have no grudges in the past or today, why do you want to humiliate me like this?"

"impossible."

Zhang Liangdi was stunned for a moment and looked at the palace maid beside her. The palace maid immediately understood what she meant.

"Ming Guiren, you are a typical example of a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing how to appreciate a good heart. Our mistress is not of high status, and she doesn't have much ice, but she feels sorry for you, so she took some of the ice from the few she had and sent it to you. However, Changchun Palace is too far from Furong Pavilion, and the ice has almost melted along the way. How can you blame our mistress?"

Not bad, not bad. She is worthy of being the one who almost climbed to the top of the Nine Concubines in the previous life. Her method is much more powerful than that of Concubine Sun.

Not only did he come to humiliate her, but he also tried to get promoted in this way. How smart!

But it's a pity that she will be disappointed.

Yun Zhining glanced at Xiaokui and lowered her eyelids slightly, revealing a hint of embarrassment. Xiaokui instantly exploded and picked up the bucket and poured it directly at Zhang Liangdi.

The graceful Zhang Liangdi instantly turned into a drowned chicken. All the rouge and powder on her face were washed away, revealing her original appearance.

"Ming Guiren, I sent you ice with good intentions, but because I didn't protect it well on the way, the ice accidentally melted, and you let your maids pour the water on me. This is too much."

"You must apologize to me."

"What if I don't know?"

"Then don't blame me for being rude to you."

Yun Zhining was amused by her words and laughed out loud immediately.

"Okay, Zhang Liangdi, there's no one else here, so stop acting."

"You were born in a humble family, and when you entered the palace you were only a low-ranking dresser. But you had a sharp eye, and you acted steadily and ruthlessly. You went straight to Noble Concubine Zhou, who gave birth to the eldest prince and was second only to the emperor in the harem. From then on, you were promoted all the way to the position of a fifth-rank concubine. You were very grateful to Noble Concubine Zhou, so you were willing to help her do anything she didn't want to do."

Zhang Liangdi frowned.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you understand it in your heart."

"What other tricks do you have? Use them all. The sooner this is over, the sooner you and I can rest."

Seeing that she was very confident, Zhang Liangdi simply stopped pretending.

"Okay, since you've already guessed it, I won't hide it."

"Yes, I was indeed sent by the Imperial Concubine. You broke the Buddhist beads that the Empress Dowager Xiaoci gave to the Imperial Concubine, and you also made up your mind and refused to apologize to the Imperial Concubine. You almost made her sick with anger. This is truly an unforgivable crime."

"Someone, bring her to the yard and let her sober up in the well water."

At Zhang Liangdi's command, the people she brought rushed towards Yun Zhining.

Xiao Kui quickly stood in front of Yun Zhining and shouted.

"You are not allowed to hurt our young master."

Although she was very brave, she was no match for four people and was soon captured. Even Madam Qi was controlled by the people brought by Zhang Liangdi. The rest of the people all surrounded Yun Zhining, and soon her hands were clamped and she was dragged out.

"Let me go, let me go!"

"Zhang Liangdi, aren't you afraid that one day I will regain my favor and settle this account with you?"

"Don't worry, you have offended Empress Dowager Xiaoci and Imperial Concubine Guifei, so you won't be able to see the Emperor at all. After a long time, maybe after you die, the Emperor won't even remember who you are."

"you,……"

Yun Zhining was so angry that her whole body was shaking and she couldn't utter a word.

As she passed the puddle of water, an idea suddenly occurred to her.

"Oh, it hurts, my stomach, my stomach, ..."

Seeing that Yun Zhining wanted to escape, the palace maid pulled her hard, but Yun Zhining fell backwards and fell directly into the puddle, with a hint of bright red slowly oozing out from under her body.

"Blood, young lady, Mr. Ming is bleeding!"
