"The Empress Chen is here!" Xiao Guizi sang loudly.

The leading eunuch had been holding back Concubine Hui and was quite panicked. Seeing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to pay his respects and report:

"Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Consort Chen! Consort Hui said Consort Tang has contracted an epidemic and wants to take her away."

Xiao Yunyao's heart sank.

If she had locked Tang Miaoling up with those infected people before Ning Wanyin appeared, there would be no way Ning Wanyin would have released Tang Miaoling afterwards.

But now…

It’s hateful that Ning Wanyin actually arranged people to protect Xianfu Palace in advance.

Ning Wanyin and her group, in addition to the palace maids, also had five female doctors accompanying them, all of whom covered their faces with cotton gauze. Ning Wanyin wore a cotton gauze face covering and a cloak.

Lian Rui and others surrounded Ning Wanyin and did not allow anyone to approach her.

The granddaughter doctor, one of the five accompanying imperial doctors, reported:

"The cold that Concubine Tang contracted is completely different from the epidemic in the capital. I just examined her yesterday, so you can rest assured. If you are worried that it is wrong, I and other female doctors can check her pulse again to verify it."

Wind-cold disease is a general term.

In fact, there are many causes of the disease. Although the symptoms may seem similar, they are not the same thing.

"Please check everyone inside and outside Xianfu Palace." Ning Wanyin said.

Five female doctors took the order.

Soon, the five people started with the Wei Linsi guards outside the door and checked along the way.

Every three people take turns to check once to avoid misdiagnosis.

Soon, the doctor came out to report:

"Tang Zhaoyi is indeed suffering from a common cold. No one inside or outside Xianfu Palace is sick."

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yunyao could only say, "I see. Then I am relieved. After all, Empress Chen and Concubine Tang are on good terms. I am also worried that something might happen to her. I was not able to find out in time and instead passed the news to Empress Chen."

Lian Rui was speechless. What? You almost took Miss Biao away, but it was for the sake of my master?

"Concubine Hui, you should worry more about your own affairs. His Majesty has an order for you." Ning Wanyin said coldly and turned to enter Xianfu Palace.

Ning Wanyin could see clearly what Xiao Yunyao was planning to do by taking Tang Miaoling away.

They concluded that it was an epidemic without sending a female doctor to diagnose the patient.

It is obviously not an epidemic, but it has to be turned into one.

Xiao Yunyao wanted to kill Tang Miaoling. Tang Miaoling had no grudge against her, she was targeting herself.

…

Xiao Yunyao didn't understand what Ning Wanyin meant...

Just at this moment, Wang Degui arrived.

He had just gone to Shuyu Garden but was disappointed. When he heard that Xiao Yunyao had gone to Xianfu Palace, he rushed over again without stopping:

"Hui Zhaoyi, His Majesty has ordered you to retreat and recite scriptures to pray for the country."

Xiao Yunyao's face froze instantly. How could this happen?

"Why did Your Majesty ask me to pray?" Xiao Yunyao couldn't believe it.

Why?

She didn't do anything wrong, why did the emperor suddenly suspend her power over the six palaces!

"Maybe it's because Concubine Hui is a blessed person." Wang Degui evaded the question.

Although she could find out that it was Ning Wanyin who recommended it...

But Wang Degui didn't dare to say it directly.

It was like a bolt from the blue, and Xiao Yunyao stood there in a daze.

"Concubine Hui, please come in." Wang Degui reminded.

Xiao Yunyao came back to her senses and saw that it was Ning Wanyin!

She didn't need to guess to know that it must have been done by Ning Wanyin...

However, what she could not accept was that His Majesty actually agreed.

His Majesty……

She was clearly given the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

Yet it is easily taken away.

Was it Ning Wanyin who made her lose power? No, it was because His Majesty didn't trust her.

At this critical moment of the epidemic, His Majesty did not trust her, but he trusted Ning Wanyin.

Xiao Yunyao felt an unprecedented pain in her chest. So, the person His Majesty liked was really Ning Wanyin.

Xiao Yunyao returned to Shuyu Garden in a daze.

…

In Xianfu Palace.

Tang Miaoling was lying on the sickbed, Cuiping was supporting her and crying silently, Wei Yingya was holding the medicine and feeding it to her spoonful by spoonful:

"I said it's okay. There are people sent by the Empress Chen to guard outside, Xiao Yunyao can't get in. The imperial physician has also confirmed that you just have a common cold..."

Just now, Xiao Yunyao suddenly wanted to come and arrest someone, which scared Tang Miaoling.

Wei Yingya remained calm and accompanied her without any worry.

"I'm afraid that I will really get the disease... and then you will be implicated by me." Tang Miaoling looked at Wei Yingya with tears in her eyes.

Wei Yingya smiled and said, "That's fate. We can only die together."

She was also terrified when she first heard about the epidemic.

Especially since Tang Miaoling, who lived next door, was still sick, she felt for a moment that she was a high-risk person.

In ancient times, plague killed people in every village.

Many diseases are incurable and only if those who are sick die can they stop spreading.

If I really get infected with the disease, what can I do? I can only face death with a smile.

"No, no, no, I still want to live for a few more decades!" Tang Miaoling shook her head firmly.

"Then cheer up and take your medicine. I heard that if you catch a cold and don't treat it properly, you can die..."

Wei Yingya hadn't finished speaking yet.

Tang Miaoling, who was feeling grief-stricken, was actively trying to save herself. She snatched the medicine from her hand, gulped it down, and finally burped.

Wei Yingya was stunned.

Ning Wanyin saw this scene when she walked in. The two were in good spirits.

"Cousin, you're here!" Tang Miaoling was so excited when she saw Ning Wanyin that she almost jumped up from the bed and complained, "Xiao Yunyao wants to arrest me..."
