In fact, what Shen Meimei was most worried about was that the emperor wanted to take Yu Rao into the harem. If Zhen Huan hadn't stopped her, Yu Rao would probably have become a concubine long ago.

She thought it over again and again, and since she had promised Concubine Xi, she had to go no matter what.

In the Yangxin Palace, the emperor looked pale and depressed. Concubines came to pay their respects outside one after another, but he didn't want to see any of them.

Concubine Duan, Concubine Xin, Concubine Zhen, Concubine Ning and others all found it strange. Even if the emperor was sick, there was no rule that prohibited concubines from taking care of him.

Some concubines gathered outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation in groups of three or four, holding tonics, eagerly waiting for the emperor to call them in.

As soon as Shen Meimei arrived at the scene, she was surrounded by concubines, and everyone hurriedly saluted:

"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, may Your Majesty live in peace and happiness!"

"Alright, stop standing around and go back to your own palaces. Those who have children should take good care of them, and those who don't have children should go back to their own palaces and stop interfering!"

Concubine Duan had a worried look on her face. "My Lady Imperial Concubine, what happened to the Emperor? I and the others can only worry about this, but we are helpless!"

Concubine Xin also stepped forward to ask, "Your Majesty, in the past the Emperor would arrange for concubines to take care of him when he was sick, but what's going on now?"

Shen Meimei naturally knew the reason in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud, so she warned:

"Concubine Duan, Concubine Xin, I have compiled a list of simplified Chinese characters. You two should study them carefully in the next few days. If you have any questions, go to Tangli Palace to ask. I will take good care of the emperor. Sisters, don't worry, go back!"

Su Peisheng came out of the Yangxin Palace and said to the concubines:

"The Emperor has issued an order that no one is allowed to come to the Yangxin Palace without the Emperor's permission!"

After he finished speaking, he walked to Shen Meimei alone and whispered, "The Emperor asked the Queen to go in alone! Queen, please come this way!"

All the concubines looked at Shen Meimei with envy, but it was a pity that only the Imperial Noble Consort had this honor in the entire harem.

In the Yangxin Palace, a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine wafted into her nose, and she couldn't help sneezing.

"Eunuch Su, go open all the windows. There's a strong smell of medicine. It's hard for the emperor to rest like this. Go quickly!"

Shen Meimei walked into the bedroom and helped the emperor up. He didn't have any illness originally, but she and Wen Shichu just made up a disease. Why did the emperor look so decadent?

"Your Majesty, if you take your medicine on time, you will get better soon!" Shen Meimei comforted.

"Mei'er, do you know what disease I have?" The emperor spoke slowly. Although he had hidden it from everyone, he didn't want to hide it from Shen Meimei at this time.

Shen Meimei originally wanted to pretend that she didn't know, but she hesitated for a moment, and the emperor continued:

"It seems that you already know it. I know I can't hide it from you!"

"The emperor's ability to read people's expressions is so strong. How does he know that I know?" Shen Meimei exclaimed in her heart.

Shen Meimei approached the emperor, sat beside him, took the medicine on the table, and fed him one spoonful at a time.

"Your Majesty, this is not a serious illness. Doctor Wen is a very skilled doctor. I believe you will recover soon!" Shen Meimei continued to comfort him.

"Alas, you don't need to comfort me. I know my own body. It's also my fault for overindulging myself in sexual activities. This is the result now." The emperor pushed the spoon away, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

He looked at the concubines slowly leaving the window and sighed:

"Okay, Mei'er, you must keep this a secret from me. I will not invite anyone else to sleep with me in the future. I will only let you take care of my daily life. You know, if I stay away from women for a long time, there will be a lot of speculation in the former court and the harem. I can only trouble you during this period!"
