693 Character Collapse (2)


In terms of flattery, no one could compare.

Consort Yun wiped her tears and smiled.
“Good, good, good.
Great-Grandma is waiting for you in the palace.”

She brought the tangerines she picked for the little black eggs.
She knew that they did not lack anything from the palace, but this was a token of her appreciation.
The three little black eggs happily accepted it.

In the past, Consort Yun thought that others treated her well because she was very good.
After so many years, she realized that it was because others were good enough.

“You taught them well,” Consort Yun said to Yu Wan in relief.

Although the three of them were mischievous, they were all extremely well-mannered children.
She never felt any discomfort when interacting with them.

“Those are really very ordinary tangerines…” Consort Yun murmured with tears in her eyes.

The three little black eggs personally carried the small basket and brought the tangerines that Consort Yun had given them to the carriage as if it was a treasure.

… .


When the Empress woke up, it was already midnight.
She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.
She looked at the blanket on her body and then at the familiar room.
A dizzy feeling attacked her.
She held her forehead in pain and gasped.

“Your Majesty, you’re awake.” The eunuch walked over with an oil lamp and looked at the haggard Empress worriedly.

The Empress was puzzled.
“What happened to me? Where’s His Majesty?”

She clearly remembered that she was in Yan’er’s room just now.
Why was she already lying on her bed in the blink of an eye?

The eunuch already knew what had happened.
The palace maid who had witnessed the Empress’s loss of composure had already been silently dealt with by him.
However, there were some things that a mere eunuch like him could not turn the tide.

He sighed and said, “You fainted.
I got someone to carry you back.
His Majesty… has returned to his bedchamber.
He should have gone to the imperial study again.
Your Majesty, how do you feel? Is there anything else you don’t feel comfortable about?”

“I…” The Empress touched her face, rolled up her sleeves, and looked at her arm.
The swelling and rashes had subsided, and the tightness in her chest was gone.

The eunuch explained, “The Gu Master came and cured you.”

“I want to see the State Preceptor!” The Empress said.


The eunuch said, “When Your Majesty was unconscious, I went to the State Preceptor Hall.
Unfortunately, the State Preceptor was in seclusion.”

“Seclusion at this critical juncture…” The Empress had another headache!

“Your Majesty, there’s still poison in your body.
Drink the medicine first.” After the eunuch placed the oil lamp on the table, he opened the food box and took out a bowl of warm medicine.
He carefully handed it to the Empress.

Thinking of her current situation, the Empress was not in the mood to drink medicine.

“Your Majesty,” the eunuch advised.

The Empress closed her eyes and sighed helplessly.
She took the medicine bowl.
“Do you think I’ve lost favor?”

The eunuch said, “How can that be? You and His Majesty have been together for so many years.
Can’t you withstand this small twist?”

The Empress opened her mouth.
“But just now…”

The eunuch said, “Everyone is not a sage.
There are still couples among the commoners who argue from time to time.
How can you and His Majesty be spared? Don’t be disappointed in His Majesty.”


“It’s not that I’m disappointed in His Majesty, but His Majesty is disappointed in me.” The Empress was about to drink the medicine when she put down the bowl and sighed.
“You’ve seen the current situation.
My Yan’er has lost favor and Xi’er is useless.
Li’er is a good seedling.
Unfortunately… I’m afraid he’ll be implicated by me.”

After drinking the medicine, the Empress washed up, put on her hood, tidied up her appearance, and went to the imperial study.

The Emperor was diligent in politics, but he did not forget about food and sleep.
He was very concerned about his health, but it was late at night, and he still did not show any signs of resting.

“Your Majesty…” Eunuch Wang could not remember how many times he had persuaded him.
“If you continue like this, you’ll hurt your body.”

The Emperor said nothing.

After a while, Eunuch Wang said again, “Your Majesty…”

The Emperor interrupted him coldly.
“If you’re tired, go to bed yourself! Don’t disturb me!”

Eunuch Wang said embarrassedly, “The Empress is here.”

The Emperor’s hand paused.


“Look…” Eunuch Wang hesitated.
In the past, there was no need for him to report at all.
Be it the Emperor’s bedchamber or the imperial study, they were all places that the Empress could enter and leave freely.
However, after what happened in the palace today, Eunuch Wang felt that he should be more cautious.

“Let her in,” the Emperor said.

“Yes.” Eunuch Wang agreed and turned to the Empress.
“Your Majesty, please.”

The Empress composed herself and entered the imperial study dignifiedly.
