Helian Jue filled up a half-filled booklet and asked several imperial doctors questions until they were all yawning, then he let the four of them go back to rest.

As soon as he returned to the inner hall, Helian Jue saw Qin Yanning sleeping in a crooked position on the bed, with even the quilt pressed under her body.

Helian Jue couldn't help but sigh. His Ning'er was still a child, so he naturally had to take more care of her.

Helian Jue gently carried Qin Yanning to the inside of the bed, tucked the quilt in for her, then took off his outer robe and lay down to rest.

There was peace in the Ganning Palace, but there was no peace in the Jianing Palace.

After Concubine Shu learned what happened during the morning court today, she had been going crazy in the palace for the whole day.

Concubine Shu drove out all the other palace people and left Baolian alone to serve in the inner hall.

Only a few faint candlelights were lit in the inner hall of Jianing Palace. Concubine Shu was not wearing a pearl hairpin at this time, and her black hair was scattered behind her head like a waterfall. She sat in front of the mirror and looked at her face carefully.

"Baolian, tell me, is it because I'm not beautiful enough? Why would His Majesty prefer to favor a lowly peasant girl instead of being nicer to me?"

Bao Lian knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a word. She knew, of course, that her master's appearance was indeed not as good as that of Lady Ning.

But she didn't dare say that.

When Concubine Shu saw that Baolian didn't answer, she grabbed Baolian's hand and inserted the silver needle on the dressing table into Baolian's fingertips.

Baolian screamed in pain, but Concubine Shu seemed not to hear her. She pulled out the silver needle and inserted it again more than ten times before stopping.

Bao Lian was in so much pain that she lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground.

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Baolian, I know those servants outside are saying that this palace is finished. Do you feel the same way?"

Bao Lian didn't dare not answer any more, and endured the pain and said: "I am a family-born child, it is impossible for me to betray the queen."

Concubine Shu kicked Baolian in the chest and said angrily, "Then why can't you deliver a message when I ask you to? I've been mean to you, and you want to take revenge on me, right?"

Bao Lian quickly explained, "Your Highness, I dare not. It is really because the Master did not see me today. It is not that I intentionally messed up the job."

When talking about what happened in the morning, Bao Lian felt very aggrieved. She went to wait outside the Golden Palace early, but who knew that the master went straight into the palace as if he didn't see her.

Shufei also understood that Baolian would not dare to betray her. The reason she beat Baolian was simply because she felt depressed.

Now that her father has fallen from power, she has been confined to the palace and has been unable to get rid of that little bitch, Concubine Ning.

Concubine Shu also felt that she had been too unlucky recently. She knew that she could not take any more actions recently, otherwise His Majesty would definitely take action against her.

If she gave His Majesty the evidence to demote her, she would never be able to turn things around.

Thinking of this, Concubine Shu no longer had the heart to stab Bao Lian. "Go out and wash the blood off your hands. I'm tired."

After saying this, Concubine Shu turned around and got on the bed, leaving Baolian kneeling alone on the ground.

Looking at Concubine Shu behind the gauze curtain, Bao Lian's tears fell silently. If she was not a child born in a family and her parents were not still servants in the Wan family, she would rather die than be a maid serving Concubine Shu.

In the darkness of the night, the Jianing Palace returned to peace and no one knew what had happened.

When Qin Yanning got up in the morning, Helian Jue had already gone to court.

Ever since she started having pregnancy reactions, she has become extremely sleepy, but A-Lian said that this was probably a side effect of the Dragon and Phoenix Pills, so Qin Yanning didn't take it seriously.

Seeing that Qin Yanning had woken up, the maids sent by the Queen Mother to take care of Qin Yanning hurriedly brought him breakfast.

Qin Yanning looked at the table full of dishes of all sizes and felt inexplicably nauseous. In the end, she only ate two milk rolls and didn't want to eat anymore.

After several maids persuaded him again and again, Qin Yanning ate two more pieces of seasonal fruit.

Songxue saw that Qin Yanning had lost his appetite and his face was full of worry.

"My beautiful lady, you eat so little, His Majesty must be worried." Song Xue said as she wrote something in a booklet.

Before entering the palace, Songyue had witnessed the process of her own mother's pregnancy and childbirth, and knew that women might have a poor appetite during pregnancy. The beauty always had a good appetite, so she was not too worried if she didn't want to eat for one or two days.

"What's written in it?" Qin Yanning looked at Songxue mysteriously and reached out to take the booklet.

After taking a closer look, Qin Yanning realized that the booklet recorded when she ate, how much she ate, and when she drank water, how much she drank.

Songxue said proudly, "Your Majesty asked me to write this down. Your Majesty asked the imperial physician last night, and he said that you should record everything you eat and drink every day."

Only then did Qin Yanning know that Helian Jue had forced four imperial doctors to stay awake all night.

She was a little amused and helpless for a moment. She really didn't want Helian Jue to miss the children's growth and development, but wasn't he being too cautious?

Helian Jue certainly didn't know what Qin Yanning was thinking, and he was feeling a little annoyed at the moment.

There was nothing important happening in the court today. The Beijing Suburban Weapon Battalion and several other imperial guards had been quietly sent to Zhongzhou by Helian Jue to deal with the affairs of King Liang.

Helian Jue originally wanted to leave the court early and go back to accompany his Ning'er, but just as he announced the adjournment of the court, he was stopped by several disciples of Prime Minister Wan.

Helian Jue certainly knew that these guys were here to plead for Prime Minister Wan, and he listened impatiently as they said a lot of good things about Prime Minister Wan.

Just when they were about to get to the point and ask him to reduce the punishment on Prime Minister Wan, Helian Jueran sneezed at the right time.

He quickly said, "Perhaps my prince is missing me. If you have anything to say, we can discuss it tomorrow."

Then Helian Jue took Eunuch Wang into the sedan chair and drove him back to Ganning Palace without looking back, leaving Prime Minister Wan's disciples standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.

Is this still their stern Majesty?

Helian Jue successfully got rid of the noisy people and felt in a good mood.

However, before he stepped into the inner hall of Ganning Palace, he heard a familiar voice.
