In Qingning Palace, Imperial Doctor Chen wrote a prescription for Yun Zhining. Yun Zhining drank it with her eyes closed, her expression extremely painful.

"Doctor Chen, what I'm saying is, is it possible to make all these herbs into pills? This way, they are easier to carry, and when you feel unwell, you can just take the pills and get better faster, saving you from suffering more?"

"Empress Ming, you didn't come up with this idea just because you thought the medicine was too bitter?"

"Of course not. I say this just for the sake of the people. For example, if someone has a high fever and urgently needs medicine to reduce the temperature, but it takes at least half an hour to boil a pot of medicine, what if the person becomes stupid or even dies during this half hour? Wouldn't that mean a life has been sacrificed in vain?"

"If there is a pill that can reduce fever at this time, it can quickly reduce the fever and save a person's life. Isn't it a good deed?"

Doctor Chen lowered his eyes.

"I understand what your Majesty means. In other words, if we replace all the soups and medicines we drink in daily life with pills and store a lot of them, we can recover in the shortest possible time when we are sick and minimize the sequelae."

"Doctor Chen is indeed very smart. He understood everything at once."

"In fact, it's not just ordinary people, but also soldiers on the battlefield who need to prepare enough pills. If one less person is injured, we can protect one more inch of territory. If one less soldier dies, one less broken family will be."

Just after the court session, Qi Yejing learned that Yun Zhining and Zhou Baozhu had eaten too much, causing everyone in the Qingning Palace to have diarrhea. He rushed over angrily, but heard these words.

"You can't even take care of yourself, and you still have the mind to care about others?"

Suddenly, an angry shout came to her ears. Yun Zhining looked up quickly and saw Qi Yejing's angry face.

She subconsciously felt guilty.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"If I hadn't come, how would I know that you took down the entire Qingning Palace by yourself?"

"I am already feeling very uncomfortable, and the emperor still said this to me. I am really sad."

Yun Zhining tried to act pitiful, but was ruthlessly exposed by Qi Yejing.

"Okay, I just listened outside for a while. You were so energetic when you were talking to Doctor Chen, but why did you become listless when you saw me?"

"I am not depressed at all. I am clearly trying to gain your sympathy."

But your heart is as hard as iron.

"If you were bullied like this, I would definitely feel sorry for you and stand up for you, but the reason you became like this is all your own fault. If you don't commit suicide, you won't die. Don't you understand this principle?"

"I just want to get a word of comfort from the emperor. Is it necessary for the emperor to be so aggressive?"

Yun Zhining's mouth pursed and tears fell instantly.

Even though he knew she was trying to gain his sympathy, Qi Yejing was still too soft-hearted.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have been so mean to you. Your body hasn't recovered yet. Lie down and rest."

Yun Zhining lay down, but did not let go of Qi Yejing's hand.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I will not lead everyone to eat and drink excessively in the future."

"Do you really know that you were wrong?"

"Realer than real gold."

Seeing her sincere face, Qi Yejing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, considering that this is your first offense and you are sincere in admitting your mistake, I will forgive you. If you dare to do something similar next time, I will never let you off easily."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It won't happen again."

After staying up all night, her stomach finally felt better and Yun Zhining was feeling sleepy. Qi Yejing originally wanted to let her sleep for a while, but Doctor Chen said that she had just recovered and needed to fill her stomach a little to avoid feeling uncomfortable again. Qi Yejing watched her drink half a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, and then let her sleep. He had nothing to do anyway, so he asked Dong Ling to send some memorials over. He reviewed the memorials while watching over Yun Zhining.

When I woke up again, the sunlight was not so glaring anymore, and I guessed it was already afternoon.

Yun Zhining lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and saw Qi Yejing sleeping on the desk, with the memorials beside him in a mess.

She wanted to tidy it up, but as soon as her hand touched the memorial, Qi Yejing grabbed it.

"What are you doing?"

She was startled and the memorial fell to the ground. She quickly picked it up with an embarrassed smile on her face.

"I saw the memorials were a bit messy, so I wanted to help sort them out, but I didn't know you would wake up just as I got here."

"I swear, I didn't mean to look at that."

Qi Yejing let go of his hand and snorted coldly.

"Of course I know you didn't do it on purpose. Even if I really let you see it, you wouldn't understand it."

That's true.

Yun Zhining touched her belly and chuckled.

"Your Majesty, what time is it now?"

"Dinner is in half an hour. Are you hungry?"

"I haven't eaten for almost the entire day. Of course I'm hungry."

"You deserve to be hungry. Who told you to be disobedient and abuse your body?"

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please stop reading."

"No, from now on, I will recite this sentence every time I eat, until you engrave this sentence into your bones and practice it in your body."

Help, she will really die if this goes on.

Just as Yun Zhining was thinking about how to get rid of Qi Yejing's nagging, she suddenly thought of something and her eyebrows instantly raised.

"Your Majesty is very busy, so he certainly doesn't have much time to eat with me. I'm not afraid."

"Don't worry, from now on, except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, I will come to eat with you every day as long as I have time, at least once a day."

Yun Zhining raised her hand and slapped herself twice.

I told you to be smart, and now you've fallen into the gutter and can't get out!

Live it!

Although some minor incidents happened in the middle, Yun Zhining still had a pleasant dinner. After dinner, Qi Yejing asked Dong Ling to send all the memorials back to the imperial study, but he did not leave.

Yun Zhining waited for a full half hour and finally ran out of patience.

"Your Majesty, do you plan to stay in Qingning Palace tonight?"

"if not?"

"Logically, I shouldn't refuse, as it would seem ungrateful, but I'm not fully recovered yet, so I can't sleep with you for the time being."

"Oh, is it so?"

Qi Yejing raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.

"But I asked Doctor Chen, and he said that you have recovered a long time ago and can sleep with me."

Yun Zhining was very confused.

"I'm not talking about rest after giving birth, I'm talking about diarrhea."

"But you slept for most of the day and didn't seem to feel any discomfort. This shows that Doctor Chen's medicine is still very effective, so you don't have to worry at all."

So there's no escape tonight?

It wasn't that she was against serving the emperor's emperor's bed, she just wanted to read the storybook that Empress Dowager Xiaoci gave her.

I had originally planned to watch it happily after eating barbecue yesterday, but who would have thought that something like that would happen in the end, leaving me with no time to think about anything else.

Seeing that she refused to speak, Qi Yejing's eyes darkened.

"Yun Zhining, you didn't hide something in the room that shouldn't be hidden, did you?"

Yun Zhining's heart instantly began to tighten.
