Fei Wan took Gu Shuer in a sedan chair and went to Chen Qian Palace.

The early summer heat rushed into the sedan chair, and Gu Shu'er's thin clothes, stained with sweat, clung to her slender back. Her face was pale, and a few strands of her carelessly tied hair dangled, making her look even more pale.

Only a pair of eyes were shining with a dark light.

He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Fei Wan asked softly, "Do you want to kill the king?"

Gu Shuer didn't respond.

The hot wind blew the curtain of the sedan chair, and the crisp chirping of birds from the trees beside the road broke in, disturbing the silence in the small space.

Fei Wan looked at her for a moment and said firmly, "You are not Gu Shu'er. Or rather, the original Gu Shu'er is dead."

Gu Shuer's dull eyes finally closed.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at Fei Wan.

"I'm not, so what? Go and tell everyone that I'm just a ghost possessed by Miss Gu. Call a Taoist priest to exorcise the ghost, call someone to kill me, I don't want to live anymore!"

Sure enough, it was another soul.

Fei Wan had long felt that if he were to be reborn, his temperament would change drastically, but his nature would not change.

It turned out that someone else was possessed by the original Miss Gu.

"I don't mind whether you're a human or a ghost." I'm just a ghost anyway, Fei Wan asked her, "You want to go back, where are you going? In Daliang, is there any place in the world where women are free? Maybe in foreign countries, overseas? Listening to your crazy talk every day makes me yearn for it."

Gu Shuer looked at Fei Wan with scrutiny.

Fei Wan's calmness and gentleness were somewhat beyond her expectations.

After a long silence, she scoffed, "You won't understand even if I tell you!"

Then he turned and looked out the window.

The curtains of the sedan chair fluttered, and the red walls and green trees appeared and disappeared with the heat. The palace servants they met along the way all made way for the voices of greetings.

This quiet, ordinary day in the palace made Gu Shuer feel suffocated.

But Fei Wan suddenly placed his hand on her abdomen, which startled her.

"Sister, from the way you talk, you seem to be a young girl. You haven't experienced much of the world, and you don't know that many times in this world, you have no control over your own actions. You can't live according to your own ideas, and it's even harder to die happily. After all, you finally made up your mind to abandon everything, but you found that there were still things you couldn't let go of, forcing you to stop your steps on the cliff. You turned around, dragged your legs, which were already heavy, and gathered your strength to continue facing the people and things you no longer wanted to face. You walked into the darkness, which was endless, and disappeared in the darkness from then on. Or, you finally found the light, kept walking, and unknowingly, you were bathed in the light."

The nonsensical words made Gu Shuer confused.

But also frightened.

This fear is for no reason.

It made her feel cold all over and her back went cold.

Before I could ask what Fei Wan meant, we had already arrived at Chen Qian Palace.

"Looking at you two, you don't seem to be terminally ill or unable to walk!"

The emperor's sudden rage made Gu Shu'er's eyes suddenly brighten. She cast aside her doubts and stared at the emperor with red eyes.

The cold light in his eyes made the emperor subconsciously retreat for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he felt angry and ordered Gu Shuer to kneel down.

Gu Shuer just wanted to sneer.

But his wrist felt numb, and half of his body was numb from Fei Wan's pinch.

She dragged him to his knees on the ground.

Fei Wan put his arm around her waist, seemingly begging for mercy with her, but he was secretly pressing a certain spot on her waist, causing her to break out in a cold sweat, feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and unable to speak for a while.

Fei Wan was begging for mercy beside him.

She tearfully pleaded that she had been wronged and falsely accused, and that she had no real intention of being disrespectful to His Majesty. She also said that her body was weak, but her liver fire was very strong, and she was afraid that if she didn't treat it, it would cause a permanent illness.

"Your Majesty, please let the imperial physician come in and check on Sister Gu. She is young and naive. You care about her so much. If there is any delay, and her health is damaged, it will be too late to regret it later! Your Majesty, I do not ask for your forgiveness, but only for your pity for Sister Gu..."

If someone else said these words, they might not have any effect.

The emperor is angry.

But who is Fei Wan?

She was crying, weak, and gentle. She was favored because of her delicate, pitiful, and considerate nature.

The emperor always fell for her tricks.

Even though he was furious, his anger subsided a lot after she cried and begged him with tears in her eyes.

What's more, Fei Wan seemed to have dressed up in a hurry, but the light makeup and the hair hanging down by her temples were all carefully designed.

Pull the neckline down a bit.

Twist your waist more gracefully when speaking.

But her expression was serious and pitiful.

Pure, sexy and dignified.

The emperor also calmed down.

All that remains is the frustration of not being able to get what you want.

"Then let the imperial physician come in and see you! You should come along and see the doctor too! I want to see if you are truly ill or just pretending!"

Cao Bin immediately winked and asked the eunuch to trot out to summon the imperial physician.

Wen Yuanpan and Zheng Miao had been waiting outside for a long time and were brought in quickly.

Fei Wan knelt on the ground and pressed Gu Shuer's acupoint with her fingers. Gu Shuer leaned on her in extreme discomfort, kneeling on the ground with tears in her eyes.

"Just check my pulse first, just a quick check to reassure His Majesty. My health has always been like this, there's nothing to worry about. The main thing is to check on Concubine Ling. She just vomited for a long time in Chunxi Palace, and her condition is really not good."

Fei Wan spoke, and as soon as her eyes met Zheng Miao's, Zheng Miao understood.

"Sir Wen, I will be in charge of the Imperial Concubine, and you will diagnose the Concubine Ling."

As Zheng Miao spoke, he reached out and placed his hand on Fei Wan's wrist which was covered with a handkerchief.

Seeing that the emperor had no objection, the judge of the Academy of Literature turned to the other side to check Gu Shuer's pulse.

Zheng Miao spoke first: "My Lady, you need to take good care of your body. Don't overwork yourself. You're seriously deficient in Qi and blood. Have you been having trouble sleeping lately?"

"Okay, same as usual, if it's nothing serious, let's not talk about it for now." Fei Wan stopped him.

Zheng Miao dutifully took the pulse for a moment, then turned around and bowed to the emperor.

It is said that Consort Zhao is in poor health and it is best for her not to overwork and just rest and recuperate.

The emperor was a little embarrassed, his face as gloomy as water.

There have been a lot of memorials recently, and he has a headache marking them. He assigns a batch to Fei Wan to mark every day, and she always stays up late.

"According to you, how should we treat it?"

Zheng Miao went on to elaborate, quoting from classics at length, which annoyed the concubines who were waiting to watch the fun nearby.

The judge of the Academy of Literature half-knelt on the ground, pinching Gu Shuer's wrist and examining her again and again, his face solemn.

It also made several concubines worried.

Could it be that this time, the Imperial Noble Consort and Concubine Ling will be able to escape punishment by relying on their illness?

Someone was trying to add fuel to the fire and reignite the emperor's anger.

The judge of the Academy of Literature suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly to the emperor.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Ling is pregnant and has been pregnant for nearly two months!"

The whole hall was silent.

Everyone looked at the Wenyuan Court's verdict.

The emperor's voice trembled a little.

"The Court of Literature's ruling, do you take it seriously?"
