"Take these dishes away," the female protagonist said with a heavy heart.
Looking at the table full of food, my stomach was protesting.
At this point, the female protagonist had only eaten about 20% of her fill, having consumed a small half bowl of rice.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Qin Yin replied, then beckoned to the palace maids to take the food away.
He then went to the female lead's side and served her.
"Gurgle." The female protagonist's stomach made a sound.
Upon hearing this, the female protagonist's face darkened.
Since my appetite increased, I've been eating a lot more. Now that my appetite has suddenly decreased, I can't stand being hungry anymore.
"Qinyin, pour me a cup of tea," the female protagonist instructed Qinyin, who was standing beside her.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Upon hearing the female lead's instructions, Qin Yin quickly poured a cup of tea from the table and handed it to her.
Since the woman started dieting, she has changed her daily tea to one that can help with fat loss.
After the female protagonist took the glass, she took a big gulp and then asked Qin Yin to pour her another glass.
After drinking five or six cups in a row, the female protagonist's hunger subsided.
After resting for a while, I took a brisk walk to digest my food in an open space.
"Your Majesty, please take a rest," Qin Yin quickly advised after seeing the female lead's clothes soaked with sweat.
A hint of heartache crossed her face.
"No rush, let's walk a little longer." The female protagonist didn't stop, but instead quickened her pace again.
Half an hour later, when Qin Yin saw that the female protagonist was about to collapse, she quickly stepped forward and supported her.
"Your Highness, let me help you back," Qin Yin said, carefully supporting the lady.
"Um."
Afterwards, Qin Yin led the female protagonist back indoors.
The female protagonist was placed on the bed.
After catching her breath, the female protagonist asked Qin Yin, who was standing beside her.
"Qinyin, do I look thinner today?" she asked, her face showing a hint of apprehension.
"Your Majesty, it's still early. If you persevere, you'll definitely recover to your original state." Qin Yin looked at the female lead's condition but didn't want to say anything directly, so she just comforted her.
Upon hearing this, the female lead's expression darkened.
She knew that all her hard work these past few days had not yet yielded any results.
However, she doesn't have much time left. She has now been released from confinement, and the Emperor has been hesitant to come these days because of his concerns.
Judging by the days, the Emperor will be arriving soon.
The thought of facing the Emperor in this state made her vision go black, and she was extremely worried.
She was afraid that the emperor would dislike her.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.
Seeing this, Qin Yin didn't dare to make a sound, worried that the female lead might suddenly explode, since her temper had been growing stronger day by day these days.
Carefully attending to her from the side.
And so, as the female lead worked hard to lose weight, the time gradually came for the emperor to come and visit her.
"Greetings to the Emperor." The female protagonist suddenly heard a sound coming from outside.
A sudden panic gripped my heart.
The Emperor has arrived.
Before the female lead could figure out how to face the emperor, he walked in.
"Qianqian, I've come to see you." The Emperor's face was full of joy.
They walked a few more steps inside.
"Qian...Qian?" The Emperor didn't recognize the female lead at first glance, but after hearing her greet him, he recognized her from her familiar features.
However, this also surprised me greatly.
"Qianqian, how...how did you become like this?" The Emperor could not hide his surprise.
Surprised, I found it hard to look directly at her, but because I still loved the female lead, I held back and didn't look away.
"Is someone plotting against you? Is it one of the concubines in the harem?" The emperor then began to speculate about conspiracies.
His face looked very pale.
"Your Majesty, I...I..." The woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she could not speak properly.
However, if it were the original female lead, she would naturally be tearful, with a unique charm.
However, for the current female lead, it's a complete mess. Not only is the aesthetic appeal gone, but it's also somewhat unbearable to look at.
"Li Peisheng!" the Emperor then shouted towards the outside of the palace.
"Your servant is here." Upon hearing the Emperor's furious voice, Li Peisheng hurriedly ran over.
"I ordered you to take good care of Consort Wan, and this is how you take care of her?!"
"They actually managed to take advantage of the situation!" The Emperor's face was full of anger.
"Your Majesty, this servant is innocent!" Li Peisheng entered and glanced at the current female lead, his eyes filled with disbelief.
They immediately knew what the emperor was angry about.
However, he also felt genuinely wronged. He had done his job well, but unexpectedly encountered such a misfortune.
Knowing that Consort Wan is the Emperor's darling, who knows what might happen if things aren't handled properly.
Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on my back.
“This servant has had people take good care of her every day, and the Imperial Kitchen has also instructed people to ensure that Consort Wan comes first.”
"How could this be?!"
"This servant will investigate immediately," Eunuch Li said hastily, his expression somewhat grim.
Could someone really be causing trouble right under his nose?
Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
"Get out!" the emperor roared angrily.
"It is the Emperor."
After Eunuch Li left, the Emperor looked at the female lead and comforted her.
"Qianqian, don't worry. If anyone really tries to harm you, I will definitely not let them get away with it this time," the Emperor said solemnly.
His tone was filled with anger.
Upon hearing this, the female protagonist's expression softened somewhat.
Hearing the Emperor's words, she realized he didn't dislike her, and knowing this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of the Emperor ordering Eunuch Li to investigate, she couldn't help but wonder to herself, could it really have been done by those people in the harem?
She gained weight before, and we always thought it was because she couldn't control her eating and ate too much.
