"Yes, my lord."
Qingyin and Shuxiang went off to carry out their respective tasks. Jihuan's period had just ended, and coincidentally, the Empress's condition improved considerably, so Jihuan invited the imperial physician.
Emperor Qianlong was still thinking about Ji Huan! Seeing that she still didn't have her green plaque, he immediately asked, "Where is Consort Rou's plaque?"
"Your Majesty, Consort Rou is ill."
Emperor Qianlong frowned: "Is he ill?"
He had some doubts. Ji Huan appeared to be very healthy. He had pampered her for a few days, but before he could even enjoy her enough, she fell ill.

Consort Ling continued, "She'd better be ruthless and decisive. If she can't make Consort Rou lose her foundation of favor all at once, Consort Rou will definitely be able to rely on the Emperor's pity to rise again. Let someone investigate.
