It should have nothing to do with him...

Good one, it doesn’t matter.

Ning Rongzhang smiled coldly, let go of her wrist, and never looked away, staring at her straight, making her feel uneasy.

"I thought that after all the hardships we have gone through, you would treat me a little differently than others. Now it seems that I was asking for too much..."

Ji Mengshu originally didn't want to argue with him, she just thought he was angry that he wasn't in her heart.

She looked up and was about to say goodbye, when she suddenly felt dizzy and her vision was looking up at the sky. In her blurred vision, she suddenly saw a worried face. Ning Rongzhang opened and closed her lips, but she could no longer hear anything...

In Ning Rongzhang's view, he just said two harsh words, and then Ah Shu suddenly fainted for some reason.

"Someone! Call the imperial physician—"

In the silent Qinhua Palace, Ning Rongzhang stood with his hands behind his back beside the bed decorated with carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes, staring at the imperial physician without moving his eyes.

The imperial physician wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, stood up and bowed, "To answer your question, Your Majesty, this young lady is just weak and fainted."

Waving his sleeves and asking them to leave, he walked to the side and looked down at her, "Are you feeling weak?"

She was so lively just now, she didn't look weak at all.

Her gaze turned to the maid Hongye beside her, who was looking at her with a worried look on her face. She suddenly looked up when she was suddenly called by the Regent.

"What does Ah Shu usually do at home?"

Hongye was not surprised to hear the Regent address her young lady. Moreover, it was not something a maid could easily comment on. She could only answer truthfully, "The young lady only reads storybooks at home...sometimes plays the piano, sometimes paints, otherwise, she would chat with Miss Wan..."

Why do you feel weak all of a sudden?

Ning Rongzhang looked at the pale face of the person on the bed, waved to Hongye, and went to the outer room.

"How is the meal on weekdays?"

Hongye thought carefully for a while, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, the young lady has not eaten much recently. Maybe it's because the spring weather has gradually become hotter, and she has no appetite..."

But it was just speculation anyway. Hongye thought about the meals she had recently. The girl mostly just moved her chopsticks once or twice to taste the food. She really didn't eat much. Hongye suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "Although the girl doesn't eat much on weekdays, she has been feeling sleepy during the day recently. We have a raccoon in the mansion, and the girl often sleeps more than the raccoon."

Ning Rongzhang was very upset. He pressed his eyebrows and looked at the person sleeping on the bed. "Forget it. It's getting late today. Tell General Ji to ask him to come to the palace."

Ji Yuan was waiting for his younger sister to come back home, staring at the ink painting on the table in a trance.

When he suddenly heard the news that Ji Mengshu had fainted in the palace, he quickly took his horse and galloped away.

Fortunately, the street was empty and we arrived at the palace in no time.

Ah San came back earlier than Ji Yuanzheng. When he entered the room, he saw that his master looked unhappy. He took two steps back but still bowed and said, "Master, there is nothing wrong with Master Wei being in prison."

The latter nodded and turned to look at the bed curtains with light weft.

"Your Majesty, General Ji is here."

The two men sat on the chairs in silence. Ji Yuanzheng had just checked on her condition. Apart from her weak complexion, she looked like she was asleep.

"I heard from the servants in the palace that Ah Shu has been sleepy lately. I thought it was spring sleepiness, so I didn't pay any attention to her. Unexpectedly, she fainted in the palace... I'm sorry to bother you, Your Highness." Ji Yuanzheng bowed his hands, with a worried look on his face, "I wonder what the imperial physician said?"

Ning Rongzhang came back to his senses, "She just said she was tired." But it didn't seem like that. How could a person who dozed off all day be tired? "Forget it, I'll ask Doctor Fan to come over and give her a thorough examination."

There are many problems for the Ji family to stay in the palace. Besides, there are no concubines in the harem except the regent. If those noble families knew that the daughter of the Ji family had a close relationship with the regent, although they could not touch the regent, they could touch Ji Mengshu with any evil intentions.

He only has this one sister, and his parents are far away in Fan Yang, so he absolutely cannot let her put herself in danger.

Then he bowed and thanked, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. It's just that it's getting dark. If we don't leave the palace now, I'm afraid the palace gates will be locked." After saying that, he seemed to be worried that Ning Rongzhang would not agree. "What's more, Doctor Fan is now outside the palace. No matter what, it will be more convenient to leave the palace."

Ning Rongzhang nodded silently, and repeated in his mind: Who I like and who I hate should have nothing to do with the prince.

She really didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

"Ah San, prepare the sedan chair to send them out of the palace."

After leaving the palace, Ji Yuanzheng carried her to the carriage and patted her face gently, "Ashu, wake up."

Nothing happened.

Ji Mengshu had his eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

"Hongye, go to Anle Alley in the west of the city and ask Dr. Fan Ruo to come over." After saying that, he looked at the sky outside, took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Hongye, saying, "Just show him this jade pendant and tell him that Ah Shu is sick."

Hongye quickly responded and retreated.

It was already the middle of the night when Fan Ruo came over, exhausted and carrying the medicine box.

Ji Mengshu was still sleeping and there was nothing unusual about her, which made Ji Yuanzheng very anxious. He was standing at the porch. When he saw Hongye leading people over, he walked up to him and took him away.

Before Fan Ruo could catch his breath, Ji Yuanzheng dragged him and he staggered. After he finally stood firm, he gasped and said, "Hey, brother, what happened to your sister? Why did you call me over in the middle of the night?"

Ji Yuanzheng said as he walked, "Ashu has been dozing off lately, and is rarely awake during the day. When he entered the palace recently, he even fainted in the palace. The prince asked the imperial physician to see him, and he only said that he was weak, but I am still worried, so I asked you to come here."

It is common to feel sleepy in spring and tired in autumn, but after hearing him say this, Fan Ruo gradually became suspicious. A young woman, who is at the age of full of energy, sounded like an old woman in her seventies or eighties who was unable to walk after hearing him describe her like this.

A piece of white cloth was placed on the wrist, and Fan Ruo felt the patient's pulse through the cloth. He was unable to speak for a long time.

Wan Rong simply wore a plain dress and didn't care whether he was a man or not. He just used the warm water and the handkerchief to wipe her face.

"How long has Miss Ji been sleepy?"
