He leaped up and scaled the palace wall.

Rong Ling watched the two figures disappear behind the palace walls. What exactly was the relationship between this man and Ning Jiu'er? It didn't seem like a romantic relationship at all...

On the contrary, it's like her sharp sword!

——

Shang Xian pulled Shen Yi back to his palace, placed the pastries from the box on the table, thought for a moment, then put them back and handed them to Shen Yi.

Shen Yi pulled down the hood of his robe and raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Take this home and eat it. You don't like sweets, and this isn't sweet at all."

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then mechanically reached out and took the wooden box from her hand.

"Of course I won't forget you," Shang Xian clapped his hands and continued, "You heard what Rong Ling said just now, right? This huge harem is all Dugu Qianchen's pawn, all for the benefit of that bastard's woman. You're more capable than me, and you're smarter than me. Your throne is secure!"

After Shang Xian finished speaking, he stood on tiptoe, placed his hand on Shen Yi's shoulder, and nodded seriously.

Shen Yi couldn't help but smile at her serious expression. With her hand still on his shoulder, he grabbed Shang Xian's waist, picked her up, and sat her on the table. He then instantly moved closer to her face, his wicked look making Shang Xian lose control.

"rest assured"

After saying those two words, he jumped out of the window.

Shang Xian was still sitting on the table, his feet on the stool, his chin propped up as he contemplated life.

In the end, I came to the conclusion that I should just live my life well, and everything will be alright with God's help.

Damn it! This is a bad feeling. Li Ci used to protect her, but now it's someone else, Shen Yi...

She was always the one being protected, but that saved her a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Shang Xian stood on a stool on the ground and called out towards the door, "Twilight, take a bath and change your clothes."

After washing up, she lay comfortably in bed, finally able to get a good night's sleep without her phone.

Shang Xian slept until evening without waking up. Her continued sleep alarmed Mu Se, who summoned the imperial physician. On the way, Mu Se happened to run into Dugu Lianbai, who was looking for Dugu Qianchen. After explaining the situation, Mu Se also followed the imperial physician to Jinning Palace.

Dugu Lianbai came to see the true face of this imperial sister-in-law.

But to his disappointment, Mu Shi simply took Shang Xian's hand out for the imperial physician to take her pulse, and the curtain covered Shang Xian's face, so he couldn't see her appearance.

That hand was soft, white, and beautiful; even Dugu Lianbai would be too embarrassed to ask to see Ning Jiu'er's face.

"Imperial Physician Xia, how is the Empress Dowager?" Dugu Lianbai asked.

"This..." Imperial Physician Xia shook his head after taking the pulse: "Your Highness, please forgive my limited knowledge, I cannot discern the cause."

What he actually wanted to say was that the Empress was just asleep.

But if someone sleeps all day long, what else could it be but a health problem?

Dugu Lianbai wrinkled his nose: "Can't you tell?"

Soon the news of the Empress's illness spread throughout the palace...

While Dugu Qianchen and Yu Hanzhi were discussing important matters in the imperial study, a young eunuch rushed in: "Your Majesty, the Empress is ill!"

Dugu Qianchen put down the memorial in his hand and led Yu Hanzhi to Jinning Palace.

As soon as they arrived at Jinning Palace, they were greeted by the Empress Dowager.

"Empress Dowager," Dugu Qianchen respectfully called out.

Yu Hanzhi also called out, “Empress Dowager.”

Upon seeing them, the Empress Dowager immediately asked, "How is Jiu'er?"

"Your subject has just arrived."

When they opened the door and saw Dugu Lianbai, they were all stunned for a moment.

"Lian Bai, what are you doing here?" the Empress Dowager asked.

Dugu Qianchen scratched the back of his neck: "I just happened to run into him, so I came with Physician Xia."
