Before Ming Yu could return to her own palace hall, she encountered a timid palace maid in front of the door. Ming Yu had never seen this palace maid before and did not know which palace she was from. She stood in front of the Fengyi Palace's door, cautiously looking around, not knowing who she was looking for.
"Let's go take a look." Ming Yu said to Ning Xiang who was behind him.
Ning Xiang took a few steps forward and berated that little palace maid, "Where did you come from? Why are you acting so sneakily in the princess' place?"
That little palace maid trembled in fright. Turning her head, she saw Ming Yuyao standing not too far away. She knelt down with a thud, "Your Highness, I beg you, please save our Niangniang, I beg you …"
"Shut up, who asked you to spout nonsense in front of the princess!" Ning Xiang scolded.
Ming Yu slowly walked over. She looked down at the little palace maid kneeling on the ground, shivering. She seemed to have seen this palace maid somewhere before. "Who is your niangniang?"
"Replying to Princess, our Empress is … … is Shen Guipin. Only Princess can save our Empress." The little palace maid kept kowtowing and begging.
Shen Huan 'er? Ming Yu was startled. She recalled that Shen Huan 'er had done something wrong to be grounded by her Imperial Father. Although her position was not demoted, Shen Huan' er was still not allowed to leave the palace. Many people in the palace worshiped the powerful and trampled on the weak. She was afraid that Shen Huan 'er would not have a good time during this period.
"If your Empress needs something, she should go and ask His Majesty, not look for me." Ming Yu said. Although Shen Huan 'er was a bit stubborn, she still doted on her. Moreover, Shen Huan' er had a bit of a relationship with her mother. Ming Yu did not want to see Shen Huan 'er have a bad ending.
The little palace maid begged, "Princess, our Concubine wouldn't have asked this servant to beg you if there was any other way. Since our Concubine was grounded, she has tasted the coldness of human nature. A few days ago, our Concubine fell ill and was not even allowed to invite an imperial doctor … She hasn't recovered for a few days. This servant saw that her condition wasn't good, so she came to beg you."
"Who didn't allow Shen guipin to hire an imperial physician?" Ming Yu frowned and asked. "Ning Xiang, accompany her to the Imperial Hospital and invite an Imperial Physician to take a look at Shen Guipin."
Ming Yu did not take the initiative to go to Chuxiu Palace to see Shen Huan 'er. In fact, she was not as easily deceived as Murong Ke thought. She could tell if someone was sincerely treating her well or not.
Shen Huan 'er was indeed seriously ill. She was originally full of anticipation and hope to enter the palace. When she was young, she had always admired Murong Ke. Now, she was already a slender and elegant young girl yearning for love. The moment she saw Murong Ke, she fell in love with him at first sight. She thought that she would be able to win his favor, but she did not expect that before she could sleep with him, she had already entered the Cold Palace.
Yes, although her position was still there and she had not been sent to the Cold Palace, it was no different from being sent to the Cold Palace.
"Cough, cough, cough …" Shen Huan 'er started coughing. She had only been grounded for a few months, and she was so skinny that she looked like a bag of bones. Her cough had not subsided, and she felt as if she was going to die soon.
She couldn't accept it!
It was clearly within his reach, so how did things turn out like this?
Shen Huan 'er felt dizzy. It was as if she was submerged in water, and it was difficult for her to breathe.
"Your Highness, the imperial physician is here."
She seemed to hear the palace maid Zao 'er's voice. Shen Huan' er wanted to open her eyes, but she had no strength at all.
When Ning Xiang saw Shen Huan 'er's appearance, she was startled. Heavens! A few months ago, Shen Huan' er was still as beautiful as a flower, but now, she was lying on the ground like a bag of bones. She didn't even have the slightest bit of vitality.
Imperial Physician Li felt Shen Huan 'er's pulse, and his brows were furrowed. After a while, he stood up and said, "Shen Guipin is overthinking, and her vital energy is insufficient. She cannot resist the evil outside. The evil injures the lung, and the evil energy blocks the lung meridians. It will cause chest pain, and the evil heat will burn the lung meridians, causing her to cough blood …"
Zao 'er, who was at the side, broke out in a cold sweat. She cried and asked, "Imperial Physician Li, what illness does our Highness have?"
"It's a lung disease. Fortunately, it's not tuberculosis. This old man will prescribe a few doses of medicine to try first." Imperial Physician Li did not say a bunch of things that they did not understand.
"Okay, okay." Zao 'er nodded. As long as their Highness could be cured, everything would be fine.
Ning Xiang said to Imperial Physician Li, "Imperial Physician Li, I'll have to trouble you. This servant will go and report to the Princess now."
If not for the Princess, Shen Huan 'er would really die.
"… She's actually so ill?" Ming Yu was a little surprised when she heard Ning Xiang's report. What was Shen Huan 'er thinking? How did she become like this?
"Imperial Physician Li said that it was caused by overthinking," Ning Xiang replied.
Ming Yu frowned. She knew that Shen Huan 'er was grounded, but … Was it because she was grounded that she became so ill? That was too weak.
"Let Imperial Physician Li treat Shen Guipin." Ming Yu said.
For the first time, she understood that all the women in the Imperial Harem seemed to rely on the Emperor's favor to survive. Whoever lost the Emperor's favor would lose their vitality in the Imperial Harem.
She did not know why, but Ming Yu felt that if it was Lei Bingfu who was grounded, she would probably live a good life.
"Also, tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs not to neglect Shen Guipin. The same goes for the other people in the Imperial Harem. If anything happens to Shen Guipin, they can forget about having a good life." Ming Yu said in a low voice.
"This servant will go now." Ning Xiang said.
Han Lu came in with some snacks. "Princess, His Majesty sent some snacks for you."
"Send these snacks to Lei Huipin. Just say … they are from His Majesty." Ming Yu blinked and said slyly.
"Princess, this is not good." Han Lu hesitated. Wasn't this a fake imperial edict?
Ming Yu also knew that it was not good. She waved her hand. "Forget it. Put it down."
During dinner, Murong Ke came to find Ming Yu. Ming Yu told him the news of Shen Huan 'er's illness.
"Imperial Father, what did Shen Guipin do wrong?" Ming Yu asked.
"Her father colluded with Teng Ye. Although he did not have the time to rebel, he did have the intention to do so." Murong Ke said lightly. "In consideration of his contribution to the disaster relief, we let Shen Yuexuan make up for his mistake by banishing him from Wasteland City."
Ming Yu said, "That was also Shen Yuexuan's fault. What does it have to do with Shen Huan 'er?"
Murong Ke said lightly, "We did not blame her. It was just a small punishment."
If he really blamed Shen Huan 'er, she would not be in the Imperial Harem now.
"Imperial Father really doesn't know how to have tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex." Ming Yu sighed. Could it be that other than her mother, no other woman could enter his heart?
"You are an unmarried girl. What are you saying!" Murong Ke scolded Ming Yu in a low voice.
Ming Yu stuck out her pink tongue. "I am also speaking the truth."
"Don't say such things again." Murong Ke said unhappily. "Shen Huan 'er is sick. Let the imperial doctors treat her. We will talk about it after we are sure that the Shen family will not make any moves."
"Okay, then …" Ming Yu wanted to mention Lei Bingfu.
"Let's eat!" Murong Ke interrupted her. He did not want to mention it again.
