Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 210 Please forgive me

The sky was dim and it was not yet the hour of Mao.

"Your Majesty, you are awake. The servants of the Jade Hall reported to us last night that the Fifth Prince had a high fever, but he just went to bed this morning after the fever subsided."

The bed curtains were drawn, and some dim morning light was still sneaking in through the gap in the open window.

Zhang Deli reported this while working with other palace servants and eunuchs to help Qin Zhi get up and wash.

The palace maid who came to Yutang Palace to report that the Fifth Prince had a high fever came last night.

When Zhang Deli received the news, he immediately sent two of his eunuchs to accompany the palace maid to the Yutang Palace.

After checking on the Fifth Prince's condition, a eunuch immediately returned to report to Zhang Deli who was waiting. Another eunuch stayed in Yutang Palace. After the Fifth Prince's fever subsided this morning, he brought the imperial doctors back to Zhaozheng Palace.

"Where's the imperial doctor?"

Qin Zhi lowered his eyes and watched the pretty palace maid tying the laces of his cloak, and asked indifferently.

"The imperial physicians have just arrived outside the Zhaozheng Palace, waiting for Your Majesty to summon them to report to you.

I noticed that the doctors looked tired but not anxious or panicked, so I think the Fifth Prince should be fine."

"Since there is nothing serious, let the doctors go back and rest. I will leave now.

Mingzhang fell into the water yesterday and he developed a fever at night. What else could have happened except that he caught a cold?

Go to the storehouse and pick out some precious medicinal herbs and supplements and send them to Yutang Palace. Tell the Fifth Prince to stay at home and recuperate and not make any noise. I will go to see him when I have time.

I will go to the morning court first. If there is anything else, please wait until I come back to discuss it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Deli nodded.

Before he finished dressing and stepped out of the door, Qin Zhi suddenly asked, "By the way, where is the Queen?"

"The Empress went to the Jade Hall to offer condolences last night. This morning, after the Fifth Prince's fever subsided, the Empress returned to the Pepper Room. She also cancelled the greetings from the concubines today."

"understood."

After Qin Zhi came down from the morning court, he summoned a few court officials and gave them instructions on specific matters before returning to Zhaozheng Hall for breakfast.

The eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the Empress and Princess Hengshan request an audience."

Qin Zhi paused while picking up the food and ordered, "Let them in."

As soon as Shen Ningyue entered the room, she took off the hairpin on her head and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue also followed suit, sticking close to Shen Ningyue and kneeling beside her.

Two similar beautiful faces, one big and one small, knelt in front of Qin Zhi. The only difference was that Qin Mingyue was underage and had no hairpin to take off.

Qin Zhi ate his breakfast leisurely without speaking first.

Qin Mingyue lowered her head and looked up to peek at Qin Zhi, while stealing glances at Shen Ningyue who was kneeling silently beside her, making small movements all the time.

Shen Ningyue knelt until Qin Zhi waved his hand and ordered the palace servants to remove the meal before she began to apologize.

"Your Majesty, I am the mother of the country, but I have failed to discipline my own daughter, Princess Hengshan. I am unworthy of being the queen of Dayong. I am guilty."

Qin Zhi slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said casually:

"Stand up, you have been kneeling for so long, can your knees still bear it? I have already punished Mingyue, she is under house arrest, you are taking her out now, are you turning a deaf ear to my orders?"

"I dare not. I know I am wrong."

"Get up, do you want me to say it a second time?

I heard from the palace maids that you didn't sleep all night. Are you not going to keep the royal heir in your belly?

Isn't it cold to walk here? This is not the way to apologize. I think you are deliberately torturing me. Mingzhang is already sick, do you want to get sick again?"

"Your Majesty!" Shen Ningyue's tears slid silently.

"You are still feeling wronged. Go to the side hall to rest before going back."
