Ye Zhen knew that Mo Rongyi was a filial child. The Empress Dowager did so much for him. Now that he knew that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, he could not ignore it. She was surprised that he brought the Empress Dowager back to the capital, which meant that the Empress Dowager was really sick.
Mo Rongyi had said that if the Empress Dowager pretended to be sick, he would not bring her back.
"Is Empress Dowager really sick?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. She didn't want to see the Empress Dowager's miserable old age. Although the Empress Dowager resented her later, she still remembered the Empress Dowager's protection when she first entered the palace as a doctor. If there was no Empress Dowager at that time, Lu Wushuang would certainly not let her go.
Zhao Ning was not very clear about the grievances between them and the Empress Dowager. However, Mo Rongyi had told her something. She felt that the Empress Dowager was a very confused person, so her heart was still more partial to Ye Zhen. What she was most worried about was the Empress Dowager's return.
"Yi sent a letter saying that he's very sick. Even he can't recognize him. He spends his days in a daze. Sometimes, he'll forget what he did a moment ago. Even the imperial physicians said that he can't be cured. He can only take care of himself." Zhao Ning said. She had just received this letter this morning. Mo Rongyi and the others would most likely be returning to the capital in a few days.
Ye Rou immediately knew what illness the Empress Dowager had. It seemed that she was getting on in years and had suffered a blow from the failure to force the Emperor to abdicate. That was why she had dementia. However, she did not know whether it was true or not. She did not know the Empress Dowager very well.
"Did Yi tell His Majesty?" Although the Empress Dowager was not Murong Ke's legal mother, she already had the title of Empress Dowager, so it was possible to take her back to Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful.
However, she felt that Murong Ke wouldn't do that.
Zhao Ning said, "Yi wants to bring Empress Dowager to Prince Yi's Mansion. Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
"Since that's Yi's decision, we'll listen to him. However, he has to inform the Emperor first." Ye Zhen said that no matter what, the Empress Dowager was still the Empress Dowager. She still needed Murong Ke's consent to where she would retire.
"He said that when he comes back, he will go to the palace and tell the emperor." Zhao Ning said, as she felt that the emperor would not object.
Ye Zhen nodded gently, "Then let's wait for them to come back."
Zhao Ning sighed, "I don't know how to get along with the Empress Dowager in the future."
"Empress Dowager loves Yi, so she will naturally love you as well." Ye Zhen said with a smile. The Empress Dowager's attitude towards her two sons was completely different. She didn't understand why until she went to the Xuantian Continent. Mo Rongzhan was a clone of Emperor Mo. Although he had reincarnated, he was still different from ordinary mortals. It was normal that the Empress Dowager couldn't get close to him.
"What if her illness cannot be cured?" Zhao Ning said.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "This disease is indeed difficult to treat."
If the Empress Dowager's dementia was real, then being sick was better than not being sick.

…
Imperial Palace, Jijia Palace.
Since Murong Ke left yesterday, Lei Bingfu thought that she could finally lose his favor and no longer have to deal with Murong Ke. Really, it was too tiring to talk to him. She was afraid that she would say something wrong.
"Niang niang, I heard that the emperor isn't feeling well. Do you want to …" Lilac hurriedly walked in from outside and reminded Lei Bingfu in a small voice.
She had also heard from Eunuch Fu that the Emperor seemed to have caught a cold and had even invited an imperial physician to take a look.
"Since the Emperor is infected with a cold, then all the more I can't go. What if he gets sick?" Lei Bingfu said lazily.
"…" Lilac was speechless for a while. In the harem, only her niang niang was afraid that visiting the Emperor would get sick. If it were someone else, if they had the opportunity to visit the Emperor, they would be eager to serve him. "Niang niang, when you were sick, didn't the Emperor also come to visit you?"
How could that be the same! She was pretending to be sick, but Murong Ke was really sick!
Murong Ke knew very well that she was pretending.
"The Emperor knows that I care about him." Lei Bingfu said. She had already visited him silently in her heart.
"Niang niang!" Lilac could not help but cry out. "Why are you so unconcerned about the Emperor?"
She had already been used by him several times. If she were to be sad for him again, wouldn't she be sad to death?
Lei Bingfu simply did not listen to Lilac's words.
Lilac really had a feeling of exasperation and helplessness.
Unfortunately, Lei Bingfu's happiness did not last long. Murong Ke actually came to her Jijia Palace to recuperate.
"…" What? Why didn't he live in Yang Xin Palace? Why did he come to her remote Jijia Palace? Could it be that the food here was better for him to recuperate?
Although she was complaining, Lei Bingfu still had to tidy up and welcome Murong Ke.
Today, Murong Ke did not wear a dragon robe. He only wore a dark blue robe embroidered with auspicious clouds. The sleeves and lapels were all embroidered with dark patterns. He looked dignified and generous, so handsome that it was suffocating.
"I heard that the Emperor is not feeling well?" Lei Bingfu knelt down to pay her respects. When she heard Murong Ke call out, she chuckled and asked.
If he was sick, then he shouldn't have come out. Why did he come to Jijia Palace?
"I am a little unwell. This place is the most suitable for recuperating. We will recuperate here for the next two days." Murong Ke lightly said as he laid down on the soft couch.
Lei Bingfu's eyes widened as she looked at him sleeping in her favorite place to take an afternoon nap. She was so angry that she wanted to chase him out, "Your Majesty, if you are not feeling well, you should ask the imperial doctor to come and see you."
The entire harem was his territory. Even if she wanted to chase him out, she wouldn't be able to.
"Un, Fu De will send the medicine over in a bit." Saying this, he no longer paid any attention to Lei Bingfu. Murong Ke closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Lei Bingfu took a deep breath and told herself that she had to endure it otherwise she would implicate the Lei Family.
"Ding Xiang, go and get a blanket for the Emperor." Lei Bingfu ordered Ding Xiang in a low voice as she thought about how to send this great god away. He could have recuperated but he insisted on coming to her place. Wasn't it because he wanted everyone to know that the person he doted on the most was her?
Doted on the head! Don't think that she had never been a doted concubine before. When she was a doted concubine in the palace, she could do whatever she wanted.
Lilac happily went to get a clean quilt for Lei Bingfu.
Lei Bingfu glared at her and personally covered Murong Ke with it.
Not long later, Fu De came over with a box of food. Inside was the medicine that Murong Ke wanted to drink. The medicine was still a bit hot, so when Lei Bingfu turned her head and saw that Murong Ke was already asleep, she put the medicine away.
When she got closer, she discovered that Murong Ke's face was a bit pale. Although he was already asleep, he still looked very tired.
He must have caught a cold in Yong Shou Palace after getting drunk last night.
This is really... retribution, he deserves it!
Lei Bingfu knitted her brows as she looked at Murong Ke's handsome face. She couldn't help but think of his drunk appearance.
Che, she wouldn't feel bad for him. What did it have to do with her?
