The palace maids looked up and saw the newcomers, and hurriedly knelt down, trembling like fallen leaves.

Shi Lan, who was lying on the ground, looked at Zhao Wang with tender eyes. After he gently wiped the medicine from her lips, she gave a fragile smile, tilted her head, and fainted.

When she woke up again, she was startled by the dark gold curtains above her head and the matching brocade quilt covering her body.

Lifting the curtains, Shi Lan clutched her uncomfortable lower abdomen and struggled to get up.

King Zhao, who was reviewing silk documents nearby, heard the noise and turned his head to see the beautiful woman swaying her slender waist and gracefully rising.

"My beloved concubine has awakened?"

Shi Lan frowned and looked up. Seeing the King of Zhao's seemingly concerned expression, she nodded slightly and forced a bow, "Thank you for your timely rescue, Your Majesty."

King Zhao quickly rose and helped her up, saying, "My beloved concubine, please don't stand on ceremony."

Shi Lan obediently followed Zhao Wang's arm and sat down next to him. Zhao Wang looked at her pale and bloodless face and couldn't help but complain, "I thought my beloved concubine was a gentle person, but I didn't expect her to show her mischievous side when she was unconscious."

Shi Lan looked up at him, confused, not understanding what he meant.

The palace maid Rong, who came over to help Shi Lan wash her face, explained to her in a low voice, "Just now, the female physician came to take the pulse of the noble lady, but the noble lady refused to be examined. When she got anxious, she grabbed the king's collar and refused to come out no matter what."

Shi Lan was taken aback and turned to look at King Zhao in disbelief.

King Zhao deliberately kept a straight face and glanced at Shi Lan.

Shi Lan didn't dare to make a sound, only lowering her head and playing with her fingers. Reminded by Rong's words, King Zhao remembered Shi Lan's resolute attitude just now, and laughed instead, "My beloved concubine is unconscious but still likes to stay in my arms so much. Could it be that you want to talk about what happened to me last night?"
