"What? The Queen Mother fainted? What did the imperial physician say?"

"The imperial physicians all said that the Empress' pulse is normal and she is in perfect health."

"Then why would the Queen Mother..."

"Envoy Guo said that the Empress may have fainted due to recent overwork. If nothing unexpected happens, she will wake up soon."

"..."

Yin Feier breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was still a little pale, and she was a little puzzled.

Mother, you haven't encountered anything that requires you to work hard recently, so how could you be overworked?

Or is it that her mother is working on something without telling her?

For example, personally prepare her dowry or something like that?

But she spent most of her time with her mother. If her mother was really planning something for her without telling her, she should have been able to sense it more or less...

After a while, as they were about to reach Fengyi Palace, Yin Feier suddenly asked, "But did my father ask my aunt to go to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion to take me back to the palace?"

Lan Ruo shook her head. "It's the Grand Princess. Originally, the Emperor said that since the Empress would wake up soon, there was no need to inform the Princess, let alone spread the news, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble. But after the Grand Princess entered the palace and learned of the Empress's sudden fainting, she said that the Empress and the Princess had such a deep bond, and that the Princess had to be summoned back to the palace. After all, the Princess is getting married soon, and if someone else heard about this, she would be worried after she got married."

Yin Feier nodded vigorously, "It's still the Imperial Aunt who understands me!"

"Also, the eldest princess said she had something to discuss with the emperor in front of the princess and the queen."

"Oh? What's going on?"

"The Grand Princess hasn't said anything yet."

"I see……"

Yin Feier was very concerned.

After her sedan chair stopped outside Fengyi Palace, she got off and immediately pulled Lanruo to trot towards her mother's bedroom.

She thought that since Envoy Guo had said that her mother would wake up soon, she must have woken up by now.

So before she even entered the bedroom, she had already opened her voice and called out "Mother".

But when she stepped into the hall, she saw a group of imperial doctors kneeling in front of her mother's bed.

She panicked and let go of Lan Ruo's hand. She rushed to the bed and looked at Murong Hui, who had a rosy face and seemed to be asleep. She murmured, "Father, didn't you say that Mother would wake up soon?"

Yin Su's face was as dark as ink. Hearing this, he said, "Wait a little longer. If the Queen doesn't wake up today, I will chop off the heads of these quack doctors!"

"Chopping off someone's head won't wake up the Queen Mother..."

Yin Feier muttered softly with red eyes, snatched Murong Hui's hand from Yin Su's and held it tightly, "Mother, please wake up soon, otherwise the Imperial Hospital will be flooded with blood tomorrow..."

It was not known whether the mother and daughter were truly in sync or what, but before she had even finished her words, Murong Hui's eyelashes trembled violently a few times, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

"Mother!"

"Queen!"

"..."

Facing the extremely excited father and daughter, Murong Hui, who had just woken up, was completely confused.

But the next moment her expression changed slightly.

Oh, and she fainted!

And something quite incredible happened before she fainted!

But she herself couldn't describe the feeling...

It's like...

It was as if a ghost suddenly possessed her...

For a while she had no control over her body...

Suddenly, she remembered that there had been many times recently when she suddenly woke up and had no idea what she was doing the previous moment!

She had always suspected that she had some kind of difficult-to-diagnose disease. Could it be that she was actually the victim of some evil spirit?

"Mother? Mother, are you still feeling unwell?"

Hearing Yin Feier's voice, Murong Hui gathered her thoughts, shook her head, and said, "No, I just can't remember what happened to me."

"Aunt Lanruo said that the Queen Mother suddenly fainted while pruning flowers, but the imperial physicians all said that the Queen Mother was in good health and was simply overworked."

"..."

Murong Hui pinched her eyebrows.

She really has been feeling very tired lately.

But she clearly didn't do anything.

It seems that we have to find a reason to invite a high monk into the palace to drive away the evil spirits.

Then she looked at Yin Su and wanted to say, "I'm sorry for making the emperor worried," but after her eyes met Yin Su's, she saw an extremely strong excitement and anticipation in Yin Su's eyes, so she didn't utter a word.

The emperor has been a thoughtful person since he was young. He rarely shows his emotions on his face, and it is impossible for his eyes to have such obvious emotional fluctuations.

Moreover, now that she has woken up, the emperor should be happy and relieved, so why would he be excited and expectant?

But when she wanted to take a closer look, there was no emotion in Yin Su's dark eyes.

Then, with a tone of obvious relief, he said to her, "Queen, you scared me today! From now on, please don't take care of yourself like this and work yourself to the point of passing out!"

"Ah."

Murong Hui smiled and nodded.

I was a little suspicious that she had just woken up and her eyesight wasn't very good yet, so she must have made a mistake.

Then Yin Su dismissed all the imperial physicians and looked at Yin Wanyu, who had just arrived upon hearing the news, and asked, "Didn't my aunt say that she had something to discuss with me in front of the Queen and Fei'er?"

Yin Wanyu nodded, then looked at Murong Hui on the bed and asked, "Is the Queen feeling unwell? Could you please listen to me for a few words?"

"Yes, I am fine now. It's okay, aunt."

"..."

Yin Wanyu then went to sit on the chair that the palace maid had just moved in front of the bed.

Then she said, "The connection between Lin Zhi and me may not be known to others, but Your Majesty and Empress, you do know. Shortly before her death, Lin Zhi sent me a letter in which she repeatedly begged me to protect Li Shu."

Hearing this, Murong Hui glanced at Yin Su and said, "When Ah Zhi was alive, she always asked me to protect Ah Li for her."

"I imagine that when you, Queen, heard her say that over and over again, you must have been very puzzled, right?"

"Well, I asked her many times why she kept reminding me of that, as if she wouldn't be around anymore, but every time she just smiled and changed the subject."

"I asked her, but I didn't get an answer either. However, I still promised to protect Li Shu if necessary, and I think now is the time."

After hearing what Yin Wanyu said, Murong Hui subconsciously frowned, then looked at Yin Su again.

Yin Su asked directly, "Is it because Li Yunzhi wants to adopt Xie Yu as his goddaughter?"

Yin Wanyu nodded.

"I don't understand why this is necessary, Aunt? Besides saving Ning Jin, Xie Yu also has a close relationship with Li Yunzhi and his son, and she also gets along very well with Li Shu. Li Yunzhi's adoption of her as his goddaughter simply brings their relationship closer."

"Your Majesty, have you heard the recent rumors about Xie Yu and Ning Jin?"

"I have heard a little bit about it, but rumors are not necessarily facts."

"What if it's all true?"

Yin Wanyu asked, then immediately followed up with, "What if Li Shu wants to divorce Ning Jin because of his overly ambiguous relationship with Xie Yu, and even wants to sever ties with her father and brothers?"

Yin Su's face darkened, "She's just messing around!"

Yin Wanyu smiled. "She is indeed fooling around. Blood ties are not something she can sever just because she wants to. Her marriage to Ning Jin is certainly not something she can just give up on...right, Your Majesty?"

Yin Su remained silent, his expression only growing even colder.

Murong Hui quickly interrupted, saying, "General Li wants to adopt a goddaughter. Even the Emperor and I can't interfere. Besides, it doesn't cause any harm to Li Shu, so even if my aunt steps in, I'm afraid..."
