TICIEC Chapter 24.1

After Helian Qi left, Shun Pin cried with joy.

“Why are you crying, Your Majesty? His Majesty values ​​you so much. This is a joyous occasion!” Chun Que said.

Shun Pin wiped away her tears, “I entered the palace at fifteen and have known His Majesty for four years, yet he has never paid any attention to me. Back when I was still in the Prince’s residence, Zhuang Fei was favored, and when His Majesty came to my courtyard, she even pretended to have a headache and tricked him into leaving…”

“Now you can intercept her favor, too! No one can bully you anymore!” Chun Que comforted her.

Shun Pin wiped away her tears, recalling the day’s events, and asked, “Was that female physician today thanks to Ning Meiren?”

“Yes. But she didn’t know you were pregnant. She invited her for herself, supposedly because her leg ailment had relapsed. This servant thought that she just wanted to pretend to be sick… And she was also suspected of targeting Li Guiren. Perhaps it was her intention to harm Li Guiren that implicated you…” Chun Que said.

Shun Pin shook her head.

“It’s not an implicated situation; it’s someone with ulterior motives targeting me. Ning Meiren helped me by accident. But she offended Empress Dowager Xue. I dare not associate with such a favored concubine who is an enemy to everyone…”

…

Xianfu Palace, Right Side Hall—

Tang Miaoling deliberately poured herself with cold water that day, and then she became drowsy and had a fever for several days.

The imperial physician came to see her and said that her illness was serious. Even Empress Dowager Xue had exempted her from paying respects to avoid catching her illness.

Now she had finally recovered almost completely, but in order to avoid serving the Emperor in bed, Tang Miaoling deliberately refused to take the medicine, dragging her recovery on.

“Master, something big happened today…”

Qiu Xia walked in quickly and reported what had happened in Jingxi Palace.

Tang Miaoling was shocked.

“Shun Pin pregnant? Li Guiren dead?”

“Yes.” Qiu Xia nodded.

Tang Miaoling was a little confused.

Huh? As someone with memories of her previous life, how come she didn’t know that Shun Pin was pregnant?

Wait, today is the first day of the fourth month.

Then it’s alright.

She didn’t live to this day in her previous life. (T/N: Hahaha… Poor girl~)

Tang Miaoling died on the last day of the third month in her previous life.

As for Li Guiren, who was alive in her previous life, she was now dead. Tang Miaoling was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she was not surprised.

In her previous life, Li Guiren may have had little contact with her cousin, thus escaping death.

But in this life, she actively offended her cousin—wasn’t that like cutting in line to meet the King of Hell?

It was obvious that her cousin sent her away first.

What about the two people who should have been sent away by her cousin in the previous life?

What is their situation now?

Tang Miaoling, remembering her two friends in the underworld, looked at Qiu Xia curiously and asked, “Do you know Wei Meiren? Is she…okay?”

“Are you talking about Wei Meiren, who came from one of the four marquisates and entered the palace with you?” Qiu Xia asked.

Tang Miaoling nodded, “Yes…”

“Ten days ago, Wei Meiren accidentally slipped and fell into the Yaoyue Pond in the imperial garden. It was said that she was nearly dead when she was rescued. She’s incredibly lucky to have survived…” Qiu Xia, well-informed, replied.

“She’s recuperating in the palace now.”

Ah? Wei Meiren didn’t die?

Tang Miaoling recalled that in her previous life, Ning Wanyin and Wei Meiren had met by chance in the Imperial Garden. Wei Meiren had always looked down on Ning Wanyin’s background and made a few sarcastic remarks.

Wei Meiren drowned that same day, and it was said that she was pushed into the river by her cousin.

Because of insufficient evidence and the Emperor’s protection of Ning Wanyin, although Xue Zhaoyi and others wanted Ning Wanyin to pay with her life, in the end, the matter was dropped.

The Yaoyue Pond ten days ago exactly matched the time and place in her previous life.

But how was she still alive?

Did she drink less water in this life?

What was even more strange was that since she was not dead, why didn’t she come out and accuse Ning Wanyin of pushing her down…

Qiu Xia continued, “I heard that Wei Meiren slipped on the pebbles and fell in. The pebbles along Yaoyue Lake have now been replaced with white sand. Master, you must be careful where you step when you go out in the future.”

Tang Miaoling was even more confused.

Huh? How could she have accidentally fallen in?

Wasn’t she pushed down by her cousin?
