Qiu Ju was frightened and yelled, "Young Master?"
After a period of panic, Shen Mingzhu's hand was bandaged by the imperial physician in time.
At this moment he was kneeling in the center of the hall.
After the Queen heard what Rong Mama said, she looked at Shen Mingzhu with a cold face: "The Crown Prince praised your cooking skills in front of me yesterday. It turns out that you were lying to me and the Crown Prince. You are slapping the Crown Prince's face, you know? I had high hopes for you, but ended up disappointed."
"Empress, I'm working hard to learn cooking." Shen Mingzhu cried miserably, looking very pitiful.
"You can't even cut meat, and you have the nerve to say that you are working hard to learn cooking? You may be stupid, but you are deceiving the emperor." The queen deliberately emphasized the last sentence. She hated being deceived the most in her life.
Shen Mingzhu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She prostrated herself on the ground and begged, "Please forgive me, Queen. I will never do it again."
The Queen said sternly, "Shen Liang Di deceived the Emperor and was demoted to Liang Yuan. Go back and reflect on your mistakes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Mingzhu was unwilling but did not dare to lose her temper. She could only go back and reflect on her mistakes.
At this time, Dongmei came to Fengyi Palace to tell Rong Mama that Chang Liangdi was ill.
Chang Liangdi was the queen's niece, so Rong Mama did not dare to neglect her. After listening, she turned into the bedroom and repeated what Dongmei said.
"Your Majesty, Chang Liangdi had a nightmare last night. Your Highness stayed in Xiyun Pavilion and did not go to visit her."
The queen couldn't help but feel a little worried when she heard this, "How is Lan'er now?"
Rong Mama replied, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chang Liang is ill."
"The prince is not a womanizer. Why did he let Shen Fengyi sleep with him twice in a row? He didn't even go to see Lan'er when she was sick? She is my niece. Does the prince take me, his mother, seriously?"
"Your Highness is just bewitched by women for a moment. Your Majesty, please don't get angry and hurt yourself." Madam Rong said as she comforted him.
The queen thought for a while and said, "Let the prince go and see Lan'er immediately."
"Yes." Aunt Rong responded.
* After listening to Madam Rong's words, Xiao Jinyan's eyes flashed with sarcasm. He nodded calmly, "Madam Rong, go back and tell my mother that I will go to visit Chang Liangdi now."
"I'll take my leave now." After Aunt Rong went out.
Xiao Jinyan put down the book in his hand, picked up Xuetuan and went to Xinlan Palace.
On the way, I saw Shen Fengyi beside the lotus pond.
"what are you doing here?"
Shen Chuwei was holding a lotus pod in her hand. She turned around and saw Xiao Jinyan. She took a few steps forward and bowed: "Your Highness, I saw that the lotus pods in the lotus pond are bare and look very pitiful."
Xiao Jinyan saw through her thoughts at a glance, "You want to eat lotus seeds and you're looking for a reason?"
Shen Chuwei smiled sheepishly: "It would be a pity if I don't eat it and let it get old."
"..." Xiao Jinyan: "Accompany me to visit Chang Liangdi."
Shen Chuwei wanted to say that she and Chang Liangdi were not familiar with each other, but Xiao Jinyan did not give her the chance to refuse. He threw the snowball into her arms and turned away.
Xuetuan opened his eyes and saw that Shen Fengyi's claws, which had just been opened, were tightly closed again and were caught by her steadily.
Shen Chuwei lowered his head to glance at Xuetuan, and the man and the cat looked at each other in silence.
Xinlan Palace is closest to the Prince's bedroom, and we arrived there in a short while.
Xinlan Hall is not on the same level as Xiyun Pavilion in terms of location or decoration.
Chang Liangdi was bedridden due to illness, and her complexion was not as good as usual. When she saw the prince coming, she threw back the quilt and got out of bed to greet him.
Xiao Jinyan said: "If you are sick, just stay in bed and forget about the ceremony."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Chang Liangdi sat back on the bed, and Dongmei came forward to cover her with the quilt.
Eunuch Liu brought a chair and placed it in front of the bed, and Xiao Jinyan sat down.
Chang Liangdi saw Shen Fengyi for the first time, and her expression changed, but then she put on a gentle smile: "So my sister is here too. This is the first time for my sister to come to Xinlan Palace. You are a rare guest."
But in her heart, she thought: What is she doing here? Is she taking advantage of His Highness's favor to show off to me? Xiao Jinyan heard all the scolding. He asked calmly, "I heard you had a nightmare last night? Was it serious?"
Chang Liang Di nodded weakly, "I am fine. It was Dong Mei who was too worried about me and disturbed His Highness and the Queen."
"My dear, you have had nightmares every night these days and haven't slept well for several days."
Dongmei knelt down in front of the prince and said, "Your Highness, I was really worried about you, so I disturbed you. You are timid and kept waking up last night."
In what way is the young lady not better than Shen Fengyi? His Highness is blind to let his young lady go to Shen Fengyi, that coquettish bitch, instead of his.
Xiao Jinyan lowered her eyes and looked at Dongmei, but her voice was as cold as frost: "As a servant, you should call the imperial physician immediately. If anything happens to Chang Liangdi, you will be blamed."
Dongmei was so frightened that her face turned pale and she lowered her head even more: "Your Highness has taught me a lesson, and I will remember it."
Xiao Jinyan said quietly, "Dongmei failed to serve well, causing Chang Liangdi's condition to worsen. She will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane as a warning to servants who don't serve wholeheartedly."
Dongmei was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

"Your Highness, Dongmei is my maidservant who came with me as a dowry. I have always served you wholeheartedly..."
Chang Liang Di wanted to plead for Dong Mei, but was interrupted by Xiao Jin Yan coldly: "If she served wholeheartedly, why didn't she inform the imperial physician immediately when she got sick instead of delaying treatment? This palace thinks she has ulterior motives."
Chang Liangdi was speechless. She clutched the quilt tightly and watched Dongmei being taken away by the prince's guards. After a while, she heard a scream, which made her face turn pale.
Shen Chuwei looked at the scene in front of her. His Highness was just as the rumors said. His methods were swift and decisive, which made people afraid.
But then again, His Highness really dotes on Chang Liangdi.
How angry are you when you see that the woman you love is not taken care of?
All these words reached Xiao Jinyan's ears. He raised his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei beside him, and said in a slightly deep voice: "Has Shen Fengyi ever heard of nightmares?"
Shen Chuwei, who was named, lowered her head guiltily. What did nightmares have to do with her? "I've heard a little bit. I heard that if you have nightmares every night, you can drink some brown rice soup."
She just answered casually, it didn't matter whether it worked or not, Xiao Jinyan wouldn't believe it anyway.
Xiao Jinyan ordered: "Eunuch Liu, go prepare some brown rice soup for Chang Liangdi."
"Yes." Eunuch Liu stepped back and prepared.
Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan in surprise. He actually believed it? Not only did he believe it, but he also immediately asked people to prepare it?
Your Highness, brown rice soup is not tasty. Are you sure you want your sweetheart to drink brown rice soup? Xiao Jinyan heard: "..."
As someone close to the prince, Eunuch Liu has always been very efficient.
Soon he brought a pot of brown rice soup and placed it on the bedside table, then stepped aside.
Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "Why don't you serve it to Chang Liangdi?"
"Here." The little palace maid stood up, carefully poured a bowl of brown rice soup, and brought it to the bed, "My lady, drink slowly."
Chang Liangdi has been spoiled since she was a child, eating delicacies from land and sea and fine grains. How could she have ever drunk brown rice soup?
It makes me sick just looking at it, let alone drinking it.
Shen Fengyi must have come here on purpose to take revenge on her.
"Your Highness, if it can cure nightmares, of course I will drink it. But how do you know that brown rice soup can cure nightmares? Or did you hear it from someone else? How about asking the imperial physician first?"
