TICIEC Chapter 55.2

Zhuang Fei’s anger, which she had been holding back all night, was effectively suppressed by these words.

She looked at Ning Wanyin with dissatisfaction, feeling a stifling sense of being forced to swallow her anger.

“You’re quite protective of Shun Pin. Despite all this effort, she might not even remember your kindness.”

“This concubine is doing it for His Majesty. As long as His Majesty understands my feelings, this concubine will be content.” Ning Wanyin replied.

Zhuang Fei raised an eyebrow slightly: “You like His Majesty so much, so how can you bear to take care of his women for him?”

Isn’t the answer obvious? Of course, it’s because I don’t like His Majesty.

“Didn’t Your Majesty also stop for His Majesty’s sake?” Ning Wanyin avoided the main point and chuckled softly.

“Your Majesty is the ruler of the world. As a concubine, I should be virtuous and magnanimous. It is my duty to be close and harmonious with my sisters.”

“Hmph, your words are so hypocritical.” Zhuang Fei curled her lip.

She was neither magnanimous nor virtuous, but she loved Helian Qi, so she couldn’t bear to see him troubled and worried.

Zhuang Fei, furious, kicked over the peony bonsai in front of Changchun Palace and said to Ning Wanyin: “Tell Shun Pin for me that I’ll forgive her this time for what happened last night. But if she dares to try to steal my favor from me again, I’ll go to her door and slap her ten times a day after she gives birth. She can’t be pregnant forever, can she?”

After saying this, Zhuang Fei sneered and angrily got into the sedan chair.

The palace servants of both palaces breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness you arrived, Your Highness, otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how this would have ended…” The chief eunuch guarding the gate wiped the cold sweat from his brow and greeted Ning Wanyin.

Ning Wanyin said calmly, “You did a good job stopping her. Keep guarding. Replace this peony bonsai…”

“Yes.”

The gates of Changchun Palace were finally opened.

Ning Wanyin went inside.

Shun Pin sat on a pear blossom couch on one side of the bedchamber, her face somewhat pale.

Chun Que complained indignantly, “Zhuang Fei is so domineering! This servant will complain to His Majesty!”

Ning Wanyin ignored her, her gaze falling on Shun Pin’s face, and gave the order: “Lian Rui, go and invite Imperial Physician Zhao over immediately.”

Lian Rui accepted the order and withdrew.

A short while later, Imperial Physician Zhao rushed over. After taking her pulse, he said, “Shun Pin was frightened and slightly aggravated her pregnancy, but it’s not too serious. I will prescribe a decoction for Shun Pin to take.”

“Thank you for your trouble, Imperial Physician Zhao.” Ning Wanyin said politely.

Imperial Physician Zhao went to prescribe the medicine.

Shun Pin clutched her stomach, looking resentful: “Zhuang Fei really scared me…”

“Before Zhuang Fei left, she had something to tell Shun Pin.” Ning Wanyin looked at her and relayed Zhuang Fei’s words.

Shun Pin was both angry and annoyed. She looked at Ning Wanyin and said aggrievedly, “I was unwell, which is why I invited His Majesty to come. She likes to steal favor from others and thinks everyone else is like her. She’s done it countless times! Sister Wanyin, you won’t misunderstand me, will you? I really didn’t…”

“Your Majesty, I believe you. However, Zhuang Fei has always been domineering. She is naturally tolerating you now, but it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.”

Ning Wanyin would not expose her directly, but she was giving her a heads-up.

You can do whatever you want. But after you give birth, you can decide how Zhuang Fei will retaliate.

Shun Pin gritted her teeth in anger. That hateful Zhuang Fei!

Ning Wanyin carefully checked with the imperial physician to confirm that Shun Pin was alright, and also made sure that everything Zhuang Fei had touched was thrown away.

Then she returned to Lingxue Pavilion.

Helian Qi was suspicious of her, worried that she would harm the people he was protecting.

So she naturally wanted to distance herself completely from Zhuang Fei.

Let the Emperor understand that the knife is very obedient.
