The flowers on the temples are swaying with golden steps, and the hibiscus tent is a warm spring night.

The spring night is short and the sun rises high. From now on, the king will not go to court early.

The emperor, who has always been diligent, actually skipped the morning court today.

The imperial study room only had water delivered twice from yesterday afternoon to morning, and the door was tightly closed, so no one knew what was going on inside.

Lingchu kissed the sleeping Ye Sijin and covered her with a quilt to cover the red marks on her body. There was more affection on her face that had been tense all year round, making her feel a lot gentler.

"Ye Ye, you are mine." Ling Chu gently touched her cheek with his fingers, it was like a treasure, extremely precious.

Ye Sijin murmured a few words, then hummed twice, unable to resist the sleepiness, and fell asleep completely.

The door of Yangxin Hall opened and was closed again. Ling Chu came out and asked Yiliu to watch here. He also ordered no one to go in and disturb him. If Ye Sijin woke up, he would go and report it.

Yiqi and Li Hai followed Ling Chu to the Imperial Study Room. They had been dragging them for most of the day. The memorials had probably piled up and they had to deal with a batch first.

Ling Chu's steps were brisk today, and Yi Qi could keep up after practicing Qing Gong. However, it was hard for Li Hai and a group of young eunuchs behind him to keep up with him at a trot.

"Oh, your Majesty, what happened today?" Li Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting, and finally reached the imperial study room.

"Eunuch Hai, you need to exercise now. You're out of breath after walking so long." Yiqi said.

Why did Li Hai feel that the person standing in front of him today was Lord Yiliu, instead of Lord Yiqi who usually didn't say a word? "Oh, Sir Yiqi, how can I compare to you martial arts practitioners? As expected, Your Majesty

People are in high spirits during happy events and can walk faster than others."

"Eunuch Hai, come in quickly." Yiqi didn't want to say more, but still stood guard at the door.

Ji Lanzhu looked at the dark bowl of medicine in front of her and swallowed. How could she drink such a big bowl?

Yesterday she pretended to have fainted, and Concubine Yao asked the imperial doctor to treat her. She was temporarily exempted from copying Buddhist scriptures and even kneeling down to offer tea.

It was a blessing in disguise, but the medicine in front of her made Ji Lanzhu feel very sick.

"Miss Ji, the empress is very worried about you. This bowl of medicine was also prescribed by the imperial doctor herself. Miss Ji has to drink it all." Aunt Zhao stood aside, like a door god, giving Ji Lanzhu a lot of pressure.

"Aunt Zhao, this medicine is too hot. I'd better drink it later." Ji Lanzhu wanted to push Aunt Zhao away so that she could pour the medicine. She was not sick at all. She didn't need to drink the medicine and was fine.

, "Mother Zhao, go and serve Concubine Yao quickly, as long as there is Yinxiang here."

"Miss Ji, there is no need to worry. There will naturally be people on your side to take care of you." Madam Zhao said, "Concubine Yao has ordered me to take good care of Miss Ji until Miss Ji is well. Otherwise, when I leave the palace, others will take care of me."

It is said that Concubine Yao allowed you to enter the palace, but it made Miss Ji poor health, and the reputation of Concubine Yao is also not good."

"Please rest assured, Concubine Yao, I will definitely not tell anything." Ji Lanzhu said, "I will keep my mouth shut and will not damage your reputation."

"Of course I believe Miss Ji." Aunt Zhao said, but she still stood here without moving.

Xue Qiyun walked in, her expression was not very good, not because she was worried about Ji Lanzhu, but because the imperial doctor said that she was not sick at all and that she was just pretending to faint. This little trick was not hidden from the imperial doctor. The empress in the palace used to do this often.

Attract the emperor's attention.

Xue Qiyun knew in her heart that she was just trying to avoid copying Buddhist scriptures. It was best to have nothing to do, lest she had to leave the palace when something happened, and her aunt would be in trouble.

"Cousin." Xue Qiyun called. "How is your health?"

"Cousin, I'm fine." Ji Lanzhu said quickly, "It's just that Aunt Zhao is taking care of me here, which makes me feel embarrassed. Cousin, you'd better advise Aunt Zhao."

Xue Qiyun looked at Grandma Zhao and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Grandma."

"It's not hard. I'm waiting for Miss Ji to finish drinking the medicine before she can go back and report to Concubine Yao." said Aunt Zhao.

"In that case, Pearl, just drink it." Xue Qiyun picked up the medicine bowl, "If you don't drink it, grandma won't leave."

"But..." Ji Lanzhu was confused, drinking such a big bowl of bitter medicine...

"What's wrong? If you are not in good health, you should naturally drink medicine. Good medicine is bitter and good for the disease." Xue Qiyun said, "You must drink to be healthy. If you don't drink, others will think you are pretending to be sick."

Ji Lanzhu's heart skipped a beat, but she couldn't be discovered, so she had no choice but to drink a bowl of medicine and vomited twice in the process.

"Eat a piece of candy." Xue Qiyun picked up a piece of rose candy and handed it to Ji Lanzhu, "to get rid of the bitter taste in your mouth."

Ji Lanzhu held the candy in her mouth, but the bitter taste still lingered. Her mouth felt uncomfortable and her stomach was churning.

"Ms. Ji, please have a good rest." Aunt Zhao took the medicine bowl and left.

"This old thing." Ji Lanzhu clenched her fists. If she could become a concubine, she would not be the first one to spare her.

"Okay, you have a good rest. Let's go out of the palace tomorrow." Xue Qiyun said.

"What? Leave the palace." How willing was Ji Lanzhu? She grabbed Xue Qiyun's clothes and said pitifully, "Sister, my illness is not cured yet. I don't want to leave the palace. If I leave the palace now, my mother will definitely be worried.

, why don’t we leave the palace after I’m fully recovered.”

"Zhu'er, not everyone is a fool." Xue Qiyun stood up, "Just take care of yourself."

Ji Lanzhu stared at Xue Qiyun's back fiercely. No, she couldn't leave like this. She hadn't even seen the emperor yet, so she was unwilling to leave like this.

Ye Sijin turned over, feeling sore all over, and opened her eyes slightly. The bright yellow golden dragon on the top of the bed curtain was baring its teeth and claws, looking a little needy.

I just feel so exhausted that I don't even have the strength to lift my arms.

Young people are so strong that they can work hard from day to night, and from night to day.

"Miss Ye, are you awake?" Liu Tao leaned forward and asked in a low voice, fearing to disturb the people in the room, but she seemed to hear the sound of Miss Ye coughing, so she asked.

"Wake up." Ye Sijin said lazily, "Where is your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty has gone to the imperial study and told him to tell him when you wake up." Liu Tao walked into the inner room, "My servant will wait on you to get up."

"Bring me some clothes and I'll wear them myself." Ye Sijin wrapped the quilt tightly.

"Do you still have the strength? Let me help you."

"No need." Ye Sijin had rejection written all over his body. If the marks all over his body were seen, would he still have any face?

Liu Tao put the clothes next to the bed, "The slave is back, Miss Ye, if you need anything, just call out, the slave is right in front."
