The little palace maid slowly opened the booklet, took a quick glance at it, and immediately became excited.

"It turns out that the young master has been prepared for a long time."

"I accidentally learned about this when I was chatting with Madam Lin a few days ago. I prepared the booklet and originally planned to send someone to deliver it to Fengyi Palace, but something happened on the way and delayed me, so I had to make the trip for you."

Qingzhu recognized the elegant music of the zither and immediately stuffed the purse into the hands of the little palace maid.

The little palace maid became happy instantly.

"Everyone says that Xiaoyi is a kind and generous master. Today, I see that her reputation is well-deserved. No wonder the emperor loves her so much. She deserves it."

"Girl, you're welcome."

"It's getting late. I'll go back with you and pay my respects to the Queen."

"No need. Before she came, the queen told me that you are now in a bad condition. If there is no urgent matter, you should stay in Furong Pavilion and take good care of your pregnancy. There is no need to go to Fengyi Palace. She doesn't care about these empty formalities. She only cares about you and the little princess in your belly."

"Although the Queen is kind, I cannot be ignorant of etiquette. I'd better go with you to Fengyi Palace to pay your respects to the Queen. By the way, you can also go out for a walk and exercise to increase your physical strength so that the delivery will be smoother."

Yun Zhining had already said so much, and the little palace maid could not stop her.

Since she was going to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects, Yun Zhining also went to Xiaohe Palace to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Xiaoyan and Empress Dowager Xiaoci. Empress Dowager Xiaoyan had a lot of things to deal with every day, so after chatting with her for a few words, she asked her to chat with Empress Dowager Xiaoci.

"I was indeed wrong about what happened yesterday. Please forgive me this time, Queen Mother."

Yun Zhining's words stunned Empress Dowager Xiaoci.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word of it?"

Yun Zhining was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't the emperor tell you that my mother and brother came to the palace to see me yesterday?"

"Oh, so that's what you mean!"

Empress Dowager Xiaoci finally reacted.

"It's just a small matter. Is it worth it for you to come and tell me in person?"

"To the Queen Mother, this is just a trivial matter, but to me, this is a huge matter."

"Because this matter is related to Yun Fulan who was banished to the cold palace."

"When Yun Fulan poisoned the Empress, the Emperor was furious and sent her to the cold palace. But my father and stepmother still refused to give up. They took out the gold medal that the late Emperor gave to our ancestors and used a request to send me to the palace. Before I left, they told me to do everything I could to get Yun Fulan out of the cold palace. But I had just entered the palace, my influence was insignificant, and I had no ability. I also respected the Empress, so it was impossible for me to rescue the murderer who almost killed her, so I put it on hold."

"But I am willing to put this matter aside, but my father and stepmother are unwilling to do so. They have been sending people to urge me and threaten me, saying that if I don't follow their orders, they will take action against my mother and brother. I am very worried about them, and I am far away in the palace, so I have no way of knowing their situation, so I have nightmares."

"The Emperor has shown me mercy and sent someone to bring my mother and brother into the palace, so that I can see with my own eyes that they are safe and sound. I am deeply grateful, but my mother told me that before entering the palace, my father and stepmother asked me to tell her to find a way to rescue Yun Fulan as soon as possible. They also gave my mother some silver and asked her to give it to Yun Fulan to prevent her from being bullied in the cold palace."

"This matter has been on my mind for a long time. It has almost become a big worry for me. I can't concentrate on my pregnancy. So I would like to ask the Queen Mother to help me solve this matter completely. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

At the end, she couldn't help crying.

Yun Zhining had a small face to begin with. Although her appetite increased after she became pregnant, most of the nutrients were absorbed by the baby in her belly, so her body became even thinner. As she became thinner, her face became thinner first, and her originally small face became even smaller, making her look even more pitiful.

Empress Dowager Xiaoci felt heartbroken.

"You are such a pitiful child. It's really not easy to worry about these things while pregnant."

"How about this? You go back first. When Empress Dowager Xiaoyan comes back later, I will call the Emperor and the Empress to discuss this matter together and see how to solve it to the satisfaction of all parties. How do you think?"

Yun Zhining was delighted and her eyebrows curved.

"You are so kind, Queen Mother. You are just like my mother. I will definitely be filial to you in the future, just like I was filial to my mother."

"If you really want to be filial to me, just forget about this matter, take good care of your pregnancy, and try to give birth to a plump, pretty, and adorable princess. When the time comes, I will ask the emperor to move you to a place closer to me, and you can bring the little princess to see me every day."

"Okay, then I will leave the little princess to your care, Queen Mother, and I will be free to go out and play."

Empress Dowager Xiaoci raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't take good care of the little princess, and that she'll get hurt or fall or get sick?"

"The Queen Mother has given birth to two children, so she must have more experience than me. If you can't take good care of the little princess, then I will be even less able to take care of her. So when the time comes, I will have to learn more from the Queen Mother."

"Don't worry, I will teach you well when the time comes. It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

"Then I will take my leave now. I will come to see the Empress Dowager another day."

Originally she thought that if she entrusted this matter to Empress Dowager Xiaoci, she would be able to handle it quickly. However, who knew that after five days there was still no news, and Qi Yejing did not come to see her again. Yun Zhining was a little anxious, but she did not dare to act rashly for the time being. With great psychological pressure, she had a nightmare again.

This time it lasted longer, for three whole days, she was in a daze, and it also caused morning sickness, dizziness, weakness in her limbs, loss of appetite, and constant vomiting. She was almost vomiting jaundice, and even Doctor Chen was scared.

"Your Majesty, Ming Xiaoyi's condition is very bad. You should go and see her."

In the imperial study, Qi Yejing frowned slightly after hearing her words.

"Doctor Chen, in your opinion, is Ming Xiaoyi really ill, or is she pretending to be ill to achieve some purpose?"

"Of course she is really sick. If it was more serious, she would have died."

"Is it possible that she took some kind of medicine to achieve this effect?"

"Of course it's impossible. Although I'm young, my medical skills are no worse than those old doctors in the Imperial Hospital. I can see that Ming Xiaoyi is really ill, and it's not that she took some medicine to achieve this effect."

"Besides, she cares a lot about the baby in her belly and would never hurt the baby for any reason."

"Okay, I understand. You can go back first."

"Then what should we do about Ming Xiaoyi?"
