"Thank you, Your Majesty." Although Rong Dongling couldn't tell what the talisman was, she could guess that it was drawn by Nan Li.

You know how difficult it is to ask the Ninth Princess to draw a painting now. The empress is thinking of herself, so she is naturally grateful.

What Rong Dongling didn't know was that the moment she took the sachet on her body, the yin energy in her body began to dissipate.

She walked back to her yard and met her elder brother Rong Zhiyun on the way.

Rong Zhiyun is a few years older than her. The two siblings are from the same mother. He usually takes good care of his biological sister.

"Come back from entering the palace?" Rong Zhiyun asked with concern, looking at Rong Dongling.

Rong Dongling nodded, "Yes, the empress rewarded me with a lot of beautiful and expensive silk threads."

Rong Zhiyun suddenly frowned and said, "What is that in your arms?"

"Ah?" Rong Dongling was startled, and took out the sachet just now, "It was also a gift from the empress. There is a talisman inside, which is probably for safety."

"Although it is a reward from the empress, you must be on guard against others." Rong Zhiyun lowered his voice and said, "Don't keep it with you all the time."

Rong Dongling originally listened to her eldest brother's words the most, but this talisman was probably painted by Nan Li and was rewarded by the Queen. She couldn't just put it aside.

"I will marry into the East Palace soon. If the empress finds out, I'm afraid she will be unhappy."

Rong Zhiyun also thought of this, narrowed his eyes and said, "Then you can take it with you, but your sister-in-law has not been in good spirits recently, so don't go over and disturb her."

Rong Dongling pursed her lips. Her sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, had been sick since she had a miscarriage. She would be out of breath even after walking for two steps. She could not leave the yard at all on weekdays. She was afraid that Mrs. Xu would be bored, so she often went there to accompany her.

The eldest brother said so, so she agreed immediately, thinking that she would not bother him in the near future.

But Rong Dongling couldn't get through, so within two days, the Xu family sent someone to invite him.

Rong Dongling thought that her sister-in-law had sent someone to invite her, so she had to go.

When they arrived at the yard, Mrs. Xu was sitting by the window basking in the sun.

Her face was pale and pale, her cheeks were slightly sunken, and she looked completely lifeless.

"Sister-in-law." Rong Dongling was a little worried, "Why are you sitting by the window blowing the wind?"

Mrs. Xu raised her eyes slightly, her eyes also a little gray and cloudy, "There is no wind, I just want to bask in the sun to keep my body warm."

After speaking a long sentence, she became a little out of breath.

Rong Dongling was already used to it, so she went to pour a cup of hot tea, and Mrs. Xu took it. Even though she had been in the sun for a long time, her hands were still cold. When Rong Dongling touched it, she couldn't help but shudder.

Ms. Xu apologized a little and looked back at the maid: "Take them all out."

The maids carried several boxes out.

After opening it, you will find either gorgeous jewelry or exquisite ornaments, which makes people dazzled.

Mrs. Xu had no strength at this moment, so the maid beside her said on her behalf: "Second Miss, this is the dowry prepared by Madam for you."

"So many." Rong Dongling said she was not happy, so she walked over and picked up a gold hairpin inlaid with precious stones and looked at it. She couldn't put it down immediately.

Mrs. Xu coughed a few times, her face became paler and her voice was weak, "I'm weak, so I ordered people to prepare this. Just do it as you like."

"Sister-in-law, you shouldn't worry about me when you are still ill." Rong Dongling frowned slightly, "Brother sees that you are not feeling well, so he feels sorry for you again."

Mrs. Xu twitched the corner of her mouth, because her face was pale, and the smile on her face looked a little strange.

"It's okay, I'm your sister-in-law, I will definitely take care of this for you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Rong Dongling was very grateful.

She didn't stay too long, so as not to disturb Mrs. Xu's rest.

Mrs. Xu was already very uncomfortable, but after Rong Dongling left, she finally regained her breath.

But she was still dizzy and sat there limply, without even the strength to stand up.

When the personal maid saw this, she was extremely anxious. Fortunately, Rong Zhiyun returned to the courtyard at this time, so she hurriedly went out to report, lowering her voice and saying: "Your Majesty, Madam is gone."

A flash of panic flashed across Rong Zhiyun's face, and he hurriedly rushed into the room and saw Mrs. Xu lying on the desk, with almost no trace of her breathing.

His hands were shaking a little, but he quickly took out a gilt-twig incense burner and placed it next to Xu.

There is also a yellow talisman affixed to the incense burner.

Rong Zhiyun tore the yellow talisman apart, and wisps of aura rose up and penetrated into Mrs. Xu's body.

He turned back and stared at the maid, "Madam, you just used the incense burner last night, why is it like this today?"

His voice was cold, and his face was even more gloomy, as if he was about to become furious.

The personal maid hurriedly said: "Madam, everything is as usual, and I don't know what's going on."

"So this happens for no reason? Who has Madam met?"

"Madam, I just met the second young lady." The personal maid replied again.

Rong Zhiyun's eyes darkened.

His sister must have brought the sachet with her. He didn't expect that the talisman was so powerful that it could shake his wife's soul to instability.

There isn't much breath left in the incense burner, but it's enough for this time.

Seeing that Xu's breath had calmed down again, he quickly put away the incense burner.

Mrs. Xu opened her eyes and saw that her husband was back, right in front of her. She smiled gently: "Your Majesty, you are back."

They had been married for several years, but she had not been able to give birth to a son and a half for him, and she was in poor health. Rong Zhiyun did not even plan to become an official and spent most of his time at home with her. She felt very guilty.

Rong Zhiyun's expression suddenly became gentle: "Well, I'm back. You don't seem to be in good spirits today."

"It was good, but I don't know why I became more and more tired after meeting my second sister." Mrs. Xu spoke at this time, no longer out of breath.

Rong Zhiyun saw this and his face softened a little, "You need to take more rest these days and don't see people, you know?"

"Okay." Mrs. Xu knew that he was worried about her and did not refuse.

Rong Zhiyun helped her up and asked her to go back to the bed to rest.

Suddenly, Mrs. Xu took his hand and looked sincerely: "Your Majesty, my body and bones... are no longer able to bear children for you. Why don't you take one or two concubines..."

She has said this more than once.

Rong Zhiyun's face was frosty, with a hint of anger: "Didn't I tell you that I will only have you as my wife in this life, and I will not take concubines?"

"But..." Ms. Xu raised her eyes to look at him, tears streaming down her face, "You can't be childless."

"Okay, don't talk about this anymore. Your body and bones can be taken care of." Rong Zhiyun assured, "You don't need to worry."

When Mrs. Xu saw that he was really angry, she could only keep her mouth shut.

She lay back on the bed and soon fell asleep.

Rong Zhiyun sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her for a long time before taking out the incense burner and touching it again and again.
